Friday Night Leftovers - appointment week

• Busy, busy week.  
• Basketball practice, two different dance practices, my appointment, twins' appointment, and Paws goes in tomorrow.  
• Monday started out with us getting Paws.  
• He has pooped in the house once, whined for 10 mins the first night in his kennel, plays great with the kiddos, but does NOT like the vacuum. 
• Yesterday I had a two and a half hour appointment with the headache doc.  We have a new treatment plan which includes me changing my entire diet and treating insulin resistance, two supplements, one prevention pill, and back up pain management.  
• It was shocking but a lightbulb moment at the same time.  More to come on this subject.  
• Twins had their 3 year appointment today.  Kinsley is 34 pounds and 38 1/8 inch tall (75th for weight and 97th for height).  Eligh is 28 pounds and 38 inches tall (10% for weight and 63/8th for height).  We need to try beefing him up with some weightgainer2000 (hubby's name for the shake).
• I successfully pissed them all off when we (except hubby, he had to work and all) got our flu shots.  Guesses on who handled this the worst?  
• Tomorrow Paws is going in for a visit and a much-needed grooming and Addy and I may have a play date with the only other girl in her class.  
• If anyone is bored, feel free to stop by our house and clean the bathrooms, please.  I didn't have a chance this week to get them cleaned.  
• Or, you could write a 1000+ word essay for me.  

Check our fabulous hostess, Danifred, to see what others are bringing to the table tonight.  

And IT happened

Meet Paws (named by Addy)

Just a tad busy this week

Here is a glimpse of our schedule this week:

Monday:  Addy to and from school.
                Basketball meeting

Tuesday:  Addy to school
                Kinsley's dance class
                Pick up Addy from school
                Early dinner
                Basketball for Eligh

Wednesday:  Addy to and from school

Thursday:  Mommy 2+ hour doctor appointment 1.5 hours away
                  Daddy takes Addy to and from school
                  Addy's dance class

Friday:  Addy to and from school
             Take all three kiddos to the twins' 3 year check-up


In between all of this running I need to work on school work and another project.

How did this happen???

Cody has asked for nearly a year (hasn't been home a whole year, yet, but close enough) for a puppy.  I have repeatedly told him no.  My main reasoning is that I do not want a dog unless we are in a forever home, as in he gets out of the Army. 

You all remember Addy's thoughts on a dog, and now all three of the kiddos are asking for a REAL puppy. 

Yesterday, Cody told me he would quit chewing nasty tobaccy for good if we could get a dog.  He has been doing this nasty habit on and off for a good 10 years.  He will quit for a year or more and then go back.  He rarely does it around me and definitely not in front of the kids because it's disgusting and cancer ridden.

You know where I went this afternoon all by myself? 







The animal shelter. 






I never win, never!

Crapping your pants

If you live in this house you need an understanding of the various meanings of "crapping your pant."

Scenario 1:  

"I crapped my pants."  (Farting)

Scenario 2:

"I'm about to crap my pants."  (Run as fast as you can to the bathroom or else....)

Scenario 3:

Kinsley:  "Daddy!!!!"

Daddy:  Goes to the bathroom, talks to Kinsley (I can't hear too far away), goes upstairs.

Mommy:  "Did Kinsley forget to wipe?"

Daddy:  "Yep, she C-R-A-P-P-E-D her pants."

Kinsley:  "Daddy, I crapped my pants."

Friday Night Leftovers (Have I lost my mind edition)

• I did not do any play dates or outdoor activities with the kiddos this week.  I suck. 
• Kinsley started dance and I'm more than annoyed.  The studio is not set up, the parents are kicked out with no where to go for 30 minutes.  But, the door will be open, which meant little girls were running in and out non-stop.  I sat in the van with Eligh and let him watch a movie.  What will we do in the winter?  
• A mom at the dance studio where Addy goes might take her twin girls out, which would bump up two spots on the waiting list.  I will switch Kinsley if an opening occurs.  
• With this warmer weather and moving around of clothes, I just realized Eligh only has tennis shoes for the warmer weather.  His boots he wore with clothes, are at least one size too small.  New shoes are in our future. 
• I have sold most of the kids clothes I plan to sell, and am moving on to toys.
• On a whim, I put up some ads to do some part time babysitting or tutoring yesterday.  Today, I may have booked some tutoring in October.  There is a certain someone I am going to be looking to for some pointers.  
• Today I used my carpet cleaner to scrub the couch and then washed all the pillows.  It looks so much better.  
• Today was the first day that Addy and I did not fight this morning in the past 3 days.  It was simply wonderful. 
• Cody is working regularly, which has been an adjustment from his hit or miss working schedule.  
• Every day at nap, when I get ready to leave Kinsley's room she says, "I want my daddy."  I remind her he is at work and to sleep she goes.  

To see what others are bringing to the table this week, check out our lovely host, Danifred.  

Things I'm loving

Here is a small list of some "things" I find enjoyable:

• The routine of taking Addy to and from school. 
• Eligh eating, in his words, "peanut butter jelly time" every single day for lunch. 
• Kinsley playing a game of who loves who the most.  "I love you"  "No, I love you more"  "No, I love you the most!"
• Cooler days that allow me to make warm, cozy soups.
• As of next week all three of the kiddos will be in some type of activity.  
• Addy has finally figured out how to buckle her seat belt.  
• Kinsley loves to race to the front door or any where really and tell you "You lost!"
• The return of jeans and comfy pants (more clothing the better)

What about you?  What are some "things" you are enjoying lately?
