Saturday momrning in bed.....

Here I am laying in bed on a Saturday morning watching "Motherhood" on Starz, browsing the Internet and listening to my hubby and kiddies playing in the basement below me. Only two things would turn this into absolute bliss, a steaming hot cup of coffee and not being bed ridden with the absolute worst case of the flu!

This is my fourth day of having the flu, it has been no fun at all. A few days ago I blogged about never getting any privacy well be careful what you wish for folks because you just might get it. I am basically banished to my room and only allowed to come out to pee. I miss my kids so much it is actually hurting me even though they are in the same house as me. I think it is worse that I have been getting little peaks at there sweets face and hearing snippets of their tiny voices all the while knowing I can't scoop them up and kiss their cheeks. I love them.

My husband and mom have been tag teaming taking care of the kids and keeping the house from blowing up. I don't know why I am always surprised I know he is awesome but Corey is doing such a great job at taking care of the kids and everything. Like not just keeping the kids alive good, like giving baths, cooking dinner instead of going to the drive-thru, doing dishes, straightening up and laundry. I love him. I love him. I love him.

guilt and other stuff

i am sick. i feel awful. i am coughing up a storm and running a fever. all thanks to my lovely husband who brought this wonderful little bug home from the office. ick! i don't know what is worse though how i feel or the guilt i have for letting my kids watch to much tv so i can lay on the couch. i hate when i turn to tv to entertain my kids but what am i supposed to do? i obviously can't take them anywhere and i have zero energy to come up with something fun and cool to entertain them. so a toy story marathon will have to do today. don't judge. i really am a good mom i just feel like poop in the pants today.

on a happier note something was delivered to our house yesterday.


talking jessie!!


gracie has been asking for her for a long time and in a moment of weakness last week i bought jessie online when i found her on sale. a special gift every now and them isn't really that big of a deal right? i find myself torn between not wanting to spoil my kids and wanting to give them everything their little hearts desire. i of course don't buy them everything they want, corey would kill me. i tell myself it is not that big of a deal, "she is a good girl. she deserves it." plus she is in l.o.v.e. with her new toy.


a little spoiling never hurt anyone. right?

thoughts

it's wednesday and the sun isn't up yet. noah and i have already been up for an hour. i dont like being awake before the sun it just seems unnatural.

i have been feeling sick for the past two days. i am in a constant state of nausea blahhhhhhhhhhh. NO i am not pregnant.

but let me tell you, feeling like this has made me remember those first 20 weeks (no that is not a typo i meant 20 weeks) of pregnancy when all i can keep down is gatorade chips. can you say, torture!

i have come to the conclusion that i don't want to be pregnant again. there is no way i can be sick like that and take care of my babies.

i mean two kids is still a lot of kids. right?

crazy

sometimes, my life is crazy.


sometimes, my kids are sick and we are home bound for 5 days.


sometimes, when my kids are sick they keep me up all night with fevers and and upset tummys, then wake up at 6:30am.


sometimes, i want to put myself in timeout so i can have ten minuetes of alone time.


sometimes, i mean always i love my crazy, unglamorous, exciting life.

Round two

We started another week with the sickies. Gracie has not been able to kick the cough she has been sporting since she was sick two weeks ago. So, it was back to the pediatrician for Gracie. Wouldn't ya know she has PNEUMONIA! Ain't that a kick in the pants. Just when we get through being sick, we are right back were we started from, here...


It's the worst, she is miserable. I hate that those stupid germ buggies turn my normally sweet, bubbly...

fun, energetic, girl

into this...

I told you she is miserable.

We will be hunkered down watching movies and the Disney channel (c'mon Wizards of Waverly marathon, for Gracie of course :)) for the next three days. Which is a total bummer, because its going to be the nicest weather of the year, so far. Oh well, there will be more sunny days and Gracie will be better soon. So until then if you will excuse me, I have a little snuggle bug to go cuddle.

P.s. Noah is (knock on wood) healthy. Plus, he makes the cutest fish face.
