Lorihadams-- hi guys...been busy!

we are just getting over the "crud" also Lori---same here, everyone had some form of it! :(

hang in there, it shall pass but it sure is a pain while everyone is not feeling well.....
 
Nothing worse than being sick and having sick babies.....except having a sick baby that hates taking meds. I know your pain sweetie! :hugs
 
Awww...:hugs to you all.....hope everyone is well soon! I have to say..this is my LEAST favorite time of the year...everyone gets the ickys. :sick
 
Well, I was able to get out of babysitting yesterday but no luck today....so now I've got 2 sick youngin's and a baby to watch. Fun stuff.

Maddie felt horrible last night, she didn't want to eat anything for dinner and asked to take a bath cause her tummy hurt. I was scared she was gonna start throwing up or having diarrhea on me but luckily it never happened. She just complained that everything hurt--ears, throat, nose, tummy...everything.

Tyler is really stuffy and coughing and slept until 9 this morning. I found out that he woke up in the middle of the night and asked Chad to come sleep with him. I woke up with Maddie turned sideways in my bed asleep on top of Chad's pillow with no covers...crazy child. :P

I made a double batch of pancakes this morning and made enough chicken last night to have leftovers for dinner tonight. I also was able to put 6 cups of chicken stock in the freezer too after cooking the chicken all day.

The weird thing yesterday is that we had snow. Monday it was 75 degrees and when I got up yesterday it was snowing. Home Depot delivered all our supplies in the middle of it so I had to dig out tarps to cover everything up and Chad was so excited about his new grill he put it together last night even though it was 30 degrees out. :lol:

I got up this morning and paid $3400 worth of bills. Whew. I have a doozie of a bill to pay tomorrow. $5500 back to hubby's 401K that we borrowed. Then we'll be good. The only thing we'll owe is the last round of supplies for the goat barn that we just put on the Home Depot Card but by doing so we got a discount on the materials that we otherwise wouldn't have been able to get. I'll pay that off next month when the bill comes and then we'll be free and clear.

Today we are planning on doing the raised beds for the garden and putting the gate on the garden space, the fencing is already done. I also have to get busy pruning my fruit trees before it gets any warmer. I have 2 or 3 trees with suckers on the bottom that have to go. I think I'm going to hold off on pruning any of the blueberry bushes until next winter. They should be fine this year.

I also have aprons to make. My BF's DD wants a pink apron for her birthday in 2 weeks. I got the pattern and material for hers and one for Maddie too at Joann's Monday. Hopefully I can get started on Maddie's first tomorrow...she won't care if it isn't perfect and it will give me a chance to practice on one before I do the birthday gift.

Well, lets see....what else? Oh, I'll get pics of the fences too...we are really proud! They are straight as an arrow and tight as a tick! My dad is a contractor so if they aren't then we catch he!! from him :rolleyes:

Frawg is growning like a weed but still walking on her ears. She is still having some accidents in the house but it is usually human error....she always has to pee when I'm in the middle of something.
 
Lori, I love your daughter LOL. I hope my child is like her, she sounds so interesting! Haha that's so weird to say, but she sounds like she keeps life interesting.
 
Btw I use to nanny a little girl like that! She had terrible ADD that her mom refused to acknowledge and it drove me to the point of insanity, so I had to stop nannying for her :( But it between her neurotic ADD she was just like your daughter.

Our corgi will do this. When we come home from work alot of times he'll be at the top of the bed, curled up on my pillows. Or if one of us is in bed but not the other, he'll curl on the missing persons pillows. :)
 
Ahhh yes, my daughter, God love her. Glad we had my son first cause if she had come along first we may not have had another. She is a piece of work!


She loves to dress herself and picks out some weird combinations. I just stopped trying to coordinate her and said as long as she is weather appropriate (cause she will go out in the snow in her underwear) I don't care.

She laid down in the red dirt the other day and did "dirt angels". She loves dirt. My son, can't stand to have his hands get dirty. Go figure. She is definitely my child....I like to play in the dirt too....she wants her own garden space where she can grow cucumbers.....just cucumbers. She is so cute!
 
Here's Maddie the other day before she got sick....she dressed herself....:lol:
