A long and crazy day – Sorry for the spelling errors and wierd sentance structure(I learned my grammer, punctuation and spelling in Virginia City, Nevada!)
Letterboxing AGAIN!!!
Well besides the hectic day I had, hustling 4 little ones to church, waiting for a program practice to get over, being quite moody, and as I looked around I wasn’t getting anything done – Nathan, made breakfast, did dishes washed and folded all the laundry(besides Hailey and Sierra’s), cleaned, wiped tables and counters, washed glass doors, packed his bags for the trip away again, played a family game of star craft with us followed by helping re-heat pizza for everyone for lunch, vaccumed with the tobots and swivel sweeper, and cleaned them all out!
I had a crazy start.
Again I can tell you I’m not sure what happened – it will all come to me as I type. . .
I had a bad night to start with, Zach woke me up at 5:30 AM and I don’t think I slept much after that. I helped get kids ready. Aurora woke up with a size 5 overnight diaper (that usually holds everything) LEAKED through her PJs and the girls were yelling that it was still coming out eewww. SO I planted her in the bath and brushed hair for the girls.
We struggled with figuring out allowance money, getting the girls tithing ready to pay at church, and Sierra BROKE her “MY 1st PIGGY BANK” she cried and wanted to glue the shattered remnants together and she cried because I gave her the wrong change for allowance and the trash can lid broke and and and and she needed a new piggy bank RIGHT then and I needed to pack Zach’s toys and drinks in a new diaper bag for Church nd make sure the girls had a notepad or something to do. I grabbed a piggy bank from the cabinet for Sierra – this one plastic silver electronic piggy that shouldn’t shatter – but doesn’t count money right unless you put it in reallllly slowly.
We sat in the very front row at church because I was determined to have quiet seats that the kids couldn’t pound on and the trains driving on the floor wouldn’t be noisy, it worked ’til Zach hit his lip and he and Sierra were kicking each other because Zach was on the floor and Sierra’s feet were close enough to bug. and Zach grabbed a sippy cup out of the bag and tipped it upside down and spilled grape Crystal Light on the carpet and I had to send a kid to the podium to get tissues because in my hast to get out the door I got 1 diaper and no wipees. We found out that both cups we brought for him didn’t have the non-spill plugs in them and he didn’t want to drink from them.
HOLE MOLE!
Also during sacrament prayer at church Sierra sneezed and snot strung out her nose and she wouldn’t go up to the podium and grab a tissue so I tried to send Hailey who was too embarrassed to take the 1 step and grab one, so I gave her a push and told her it’s better for her to go up than to have big mommy go up and Sierra’s nose was stringing snot all over. She looked over at Sierra and felt bad and Finally quickly grabbed a tissue (Zach was on my lap then)
I spent a long time getting ready this morning trying to look pretty for Nathan since he’s only home on the weekends lately. I don’t think it was worth the time and effort since I took the kids away and hardly saw him anyways. and when I did I was grumpy, and in a flustered hurry to get where I needed to be – Not quite the “Day of Rest” I’d consider restful. A friend (bishops wife)asked if I had baby food jars for her daughters school class, I donated 5 to her (2 uneaten) and drove to drop off a Ward Phone List to another neighbor. I was getting so much done without the kids in the car that I figured I get the mail since it had been a couple days. I grabbed it and got in the car with a pain on my right knee I looked down to see a wasp attached to my skin through my dress and in utter pain and scardey shock I jumped out of the car and tried swooshing it away with whatever I could I immediately was bitten by the dang wasp on my left thumb. I screamed and growled my way into the cul-de-sac and the garage and tried holding back the tears of pain. I managed to turn off the car and get in the house. I grabbed the anti-itch pain cooling rhuli-Bandaid gel and immediately applied it to the 2 wasp wounds, in panic and tears.
Nathan calmly asked if I wanted some ice to numb the pain and made an icepack and told me to just sit. I sat in the recliner he made Bean with Bacon soup, Koolade and crackers for all of us. Which just made me feel like more of a loser because he’d been working his tail off all day and making all our meals! Cleaning and so on. . . .
Anyways on to the letterboxing. . .
We were faced with 2 choices, stay home and play a computer game as a family with Zach nd aurora running free – or Run to a nearby town and find letterboxes. I chose the Letterboxes and Nathan happily helped journey along with us. It’s so nice to have him around on little adventures like that it makes watching the kids 30-50% easier than normal. =)
Our Treasure Hunt for a “Stamp in our Log” was a Success – even though I had hot flashes and wasps were flying around every ones ankles!
We made it home, Nathan left, 3 of the 4 kids got fingernails clipped, I finally got around to sweeping up the broken piggy bank in their room, I had them climb under their beds and clean out the debris there and we straightened it up a little.
I got Zach to bed finally and Sat at my computer where I could hear all the kids at once. Sierra complained about hiccups, and later Cried and Cried and wouldn’t give me a reason why so I went into the room she had ever so gently bonked her head on her headboard and since she gets snotty and cries hysterically when she’s sleepy I tried to find ways to make her laugh and then asked why she was crying so much and she told me it was because Hailey was copying things she was saying – OH MY!!!!
now it’s not even the same day anymore and I’m not quite done yet. I still have thing’s to write pictures to post and to get ready for bed.
I’ve been 2 weeks without Prozac – trying to get myself off of it because I’ve been doing so well with a couple days off here and there – however I took 1 this morning knowing the day was just gonna get worse. – -Thanks goodness I did. Aurora is on a Kick where she through the biggest temper tantrums a near 18 Month old can throw and it makes it VERY hard for me to put clothes and her diaper on her I have to keep telling her No and Stop and she doesn’t do it! It’s infuriating! I have been taking a LOT of Shaklee pills to compensate for the prozac I think the Carto red pill with the Omega 3s is the best to couter-act the prozac so far. But today after all of this I’m thinking my addiction to 1 tiny prozac pill a day is worth it. plus they just cam out with a 10 mg dose that would probably be PERFECT for someone like me.
See how much more I blog when I’m me? – no prozac to make me lazy and feel like I just don’t care THAT much even though inside I really do.
She is stinkin’ cute though. I had her in a cute white dress with pink tie and a rose in the bow on the back and rose petals all around the bottom of the tulle skirt. and pink flowers in her hair.
She’s REALLY talking and repeating a LOT more now.
Here are some of her recent common words
Eat, Cookie, Down, Up, Round, Ball, Wash, Meow, Baby, Ruff Ruff, Quack Quack, NO, Stop, Wow!, Fish, Daddy, MOM, HI, is, a, Jump, Shoe, Necklace, Mmmmm, Uh Oh, BaBa, More, Choo Choo, Train, Bubble, and she sniffs when she sees a flower, and she points at things when she wants them, and she throws her terrible tantrums if shes sitting at the dinning table with all of us and she doesn’t get a normal cup to drink from(which she’s getting really good at) She starts nursery in 2-3 weeks! She listens to a LOT of directions, like: put it in, open, close, wash, and some simple commands.
I’ve gotta quite rambling it’s 12:3
0 and I’ve been doing this for 1 hour at least. I’ll upload the pictures eventually. I’m babysitting at the gym the next 4 days in a row and maybe the same Mon – Thurs from now on. SO I can get a free membership, free daycare, and swip swap 1 hr each of those day to get a workout in while the kids are in daycare.
Farewell
