Craxy Couple of Weeks yes Craxy!!

Filed under: Businesses, aurora — Devanie @ 2:00 am

So crazy it’s coming out Craxy! ;)

Aurora had an ear infection 3 weeks ago I waited and waited for her to get better 10 days, we got her in and fixed it up, but then she got a cough, one that is still hanging on.  She has coughed a phlegmy cough so much that she throws up after she runs around for just a minute and she cannot stop it.  It has been 2 weeks of this now.  I took her to the Dr yesterday.  her ear infection is gone, and she is getting over the cold but has a bit of congestion still.  Poor little 2 year old.

Last Satrday I wanted to cancel a “Saturday Boutique” that I had put together due to snow, being up most of the night(S) with Aurora and utter exaustion from not having nathan home for over a week and having just done I did my 1st “Saturday Boutique”  I should have cancelled.

My babysitter would not watch Aurora, So I decided to take all 4 of them with me.  I think one of the vendors is not talking to me anymore because of the kids!  It was very difficult, Sierra’s manners are horrible, Hailey’s lack if responsibility is infuriating, Zach was an angel  he just nicely played with the discovery toys train.  And Aurora was sick and had to just sit in the car and watch TV and if she was freed. . .she would throw tantrums!  UUUhhggh.  It was a bad week to do the event.  Traffic in was slow. and it was bitterly cold.  So next week.  I am doing it 1/2 day letting a friend take the morning, then paying her a bit and doing it in a warmer location with actual electricity and heat! =)

In the Midst of it I got suspended from my devanie@stout.org email (writing letters to my boutique vendors) account and LOST EVERYONES emails and it doesn’t look like I will be getting it back in the meantime please write me at devanie@stout.orgso I can get your email back on file.  UUUggghh!

No one comments on my posts about me or fam, so I figure. . .why write them? Doesn’t matter if I was up til 1 AM catching puke in my hands from my 2 year old who has been sick for a month with ear infections & flem cough that if she runs she vomits. And on top of it Nathan was not here to help for over a week.  I did a boutique on my own with 4 kids caught about 10 loads of puke with Aurora and puked myself once because of it. Had to hire 2 cleaning ladies cuz taking care of 4 kids is hard, then add sickness, 6 businesses and the DISHES which Nathan faithfully does. And no one really cares. Or lends a hand

After a beautiful long nap today Aurora would not go to bed tonight and gagged a few times.  eventually she gave up at 9:30 and ended up sleeping almost upside down in the recliner.

 

On a brighter note. . .

Nathan was praised up and down at work while he was on his trip.  He got the title “Role Model” which is the top 1% of GE employees.  He was awarded with a Technology Leadership award and plaque. And we found out that last September he hit 10 years and he was eligible for 4 WEEKS VACATION time a year! (we lost a really needed one last year~ but he will do better next time. ;)

Snowman, Airplane Museum, Irish Dance, Valentines

Filed under: Uncategorized — Devanie @ 9:54 pm

Well it’s been just about as busy as you can ever get out here.

We were off track for 4 weeks, Back on kids in school.

Now time for Zach and Aurora, So we hit the Aerospace Museum,

   

and preschool and grocery shopping.  Zach plays trains, Aurora Plays My Little Pony and is very High Mainatanance! We watch Lazytown, MickyMouse Clubhouse, Movies, run errands, and now Zach and Aurora are sick.  it’s a cough, the prechool says they have heard of sooo mnay kids coming down with it.  Zach has missed 2 sundays and 3 days of Tue & Thurs preschool.  He even missed his Valentines Party, but we made his cards and delivered them to the school and picked up his full box of cards to keep him entertained.  We have poured medicine and honey down their throats for days.  This happend right after Aurora went off antibiotics for an ear infection ;(  I was loving the time I had away from sick babies, but I also enjoy the cuddle time I get with sick babies.

Monday night we had out WORST night EVER with sick kids  Zach and Aurora were up crying and coughin most of the night I was SOOOO tired I think it was becasue the Dr. Pepper I had earlier in the day wore off and I was ready to crash!  I was in a bad, sleepy, grumpy mood, and it got worse with every time I tried to get some sleep and could never get it cuz a kid was throwing up from flem build up, then she was fussy and tossed and turned laid on her floor then was in our bed.  Nathan decided it  wouold be better to split up Zach and Aurora so they wouldn’t keep waking eachother up the best way to to that was to let Aurora sleep with me, Zach in the recliner where is could be propped up and not cough so much and Daddy in the guest bed downstairs so someone would be ready for the day – and get some sleep. Great ids on Daddys part because I was able to sleep intil 10AM while he watched th kids from 7:30 am till I was up and running.

SHOOT JUST NOW Aurora figured out how to unlock the front door. . . .BAD NEWS! 5:14PM Feb 16th 2010.

We had a good Snow storm a week ago that the kids got in their snowsuits for so they could make a wonderful snowman.  I went out in my sunday clothes and stackud up the guy.  With church at 1PM the morning needed some good clean fun, and we were provided with SNOW.

 

Valentines Day

Busy Busy Bee

I have been working 5 businesses at 4 locations as well as taking care of all 4 kids needs in school out of school and running places to play with them.

I have been having loads of fun. 

This week I am Pulling ALL my inventory out of 1 boutique that isn’t making me any money I keep losing $100+ a month to them so I’m moving on.  The amount of inventory is almost like moving out of a small apartment with a mini van full of kids so It will take a few loads.

 

Sierra Just had an Irish Dance Feis (fesh) Saturday that I took her to it was a long day for us.  She was cute and slightly messed up each dance causing her to not place in any event, But she will practice and do better next time.

We hosted a Superbowl party at our house  I made all the snacks and did the grocery shopping Saturday night til 11PM

I have 2 home shows this week with Cookie lee jewelry

Saturday IS MY BIG day.  I Started finding locations to hold “Saturday Boutiques” at where I invite lots of vendors (like a farmers market) to come and sell their wares.  It’s been a long fun task getting a big unique group together without getting duplicate vendors in.  http://saturdayboutiques.blogspot.com  it will be the day before Valentines and we have advertised like mad in the media online and thru emails and paper fliers.

I have to run. I need to get a piece of jewelry to a customer then to POSH to pull out of the store with Zach and Aurora

Utterly Exhausted- even after a nap day and no business but Superbowl party hostess. Sure wish Aurora would go back to sleeping thru the night. NO MORE CHOCOLATE MILK for you baby(almost3) before bed. Mommy needs SOME sleep-So does Daddy. 1st big noticeable BAG appeared under my eye yesterday. I looked OLD!
