Ridiculously tired

Why is it that around 8:30 every night I'm cross-eyed tired.  I don't do that much to make me this tired. 

Example of today's events:
Assist kiddos getting dressed and brushing with teeth
Make breakfast
Take Addy to school
Walk two hilly, curvy miles while pushing the twins in their stroller
Laundry, laundry
Pick up Addy from school
Fix lunches
Read each kiddo a story and put them down for naps
Homework (reading for two hours straight - booooring)
Help Addy with homework
Color with kiddos
Let kiddos watch a movie
Cook dinner
Baths for the girls
Play three games with the girls
Color with the girls
Bed time for the girls
Eligh comes home, give him dessert
Get Eligh to bed
More homework 


Too tired to finish homework, blog instead. 

Uninformed

A couple weeks back I took Addy in to the doctor because she was severely constipated (a couple days of trying which left her in tears each time).  The doctor order an ultrasound to check for a blockage and said she would call if anything showed up, but if I didn't hear anything to go ahead and start her on the meds to treat her.  No call.  Ok.



Fast forward to today.  Addy had to go in for a yearly physical to continue participating in sports on post.  Her regular doctor (we didn't see him last time) came in and commented that her ultrasound showed ALOT of backed up poop (it is what it is, no need to sugar coat it).




I'm annoyed that the doctor who ordered it never called and informed us of the results and I assumed nothing showed up.  It is just one more thing on my never-ending list of bad shit happening to us. 

Crying

Kinsley is sick.  Non-stop coughing with a fever that comes and goes. 

Kinsley:  (Eyes watering):  "Hey, why am I crying?"

Friday Night Leftovers - I want to sleep

• The week started off with Eligh getting sick and has ended with Kinsley sick.  
• If I was working, I would have had to call off quite a bit of days to deal with these constantly sick children.  
• I am stinkin tired from all this middle of the night waking up to deal with fevers, coughs, and wiping boogers.  
• I had to fight my insurance company to finally get approved for an MRI.  
• I'm so extremely grateful to have found a great friend here who is willing to watch the kids at a last minute notice.  
• This same friend and I have gotten into a nice routine of going to the gym.  I'm developing a sick obsession with the gym and wanting to kick our asses into shape.  
• Kinsley insists every.single.day to have a "big ponytail."  It is the absolute end of the world if someone can't fix her "big ponytail."
• Out of curiosity I checked out my future courses and it looks like I can finish before the end of July.  July seems like so far away when I'm losing steam and interest.  But, after this current class I have three more to go, and that number is much easier to grasp.  I just hope it is all worth it and I'm able to find a job to fit my needs and wants.  
• Addyson has been quite the little do gooder these days.  She cleans up the toy room without being asked.  It makes me smile with pride.  
• Yesterday we got notice that our tenants are moving out in less than thirty days.  We are very scared of what our future may hold at this point and have some investigating to do.  
• With that news, I'm in a rut.  Questioning every.little.thing.

Stop by our host, Danifred, and celebrate her new healthy, little boy.  He's the cutest!

Too much at once

Can't handle today, I'm done.

Peaceful evenings

Dearest children,
These past couple of weeks have really done a number on my sleeping.  I am not a fan of waking up in the middle of the night or early morning, hence one of the many reasons we are done having children, so please can we end this streak?  Let's stay in our comfy beds, snuggled up with blankets, pillows, and stuffed animals.  I promise there are no monsters, thunder, or anything else scary going to get you.  Mommy and daddy are exhausted and I can tell you all are too.  Sleep is a wonderful thing, embrace it my wee ones.  


Love,
Mommy

Talking Tuesday #6

Eligh:  "You scared the poop out of me!"

Eligh: (using the potty, singing)  "There's something in my pants, pants, pants."

Addyson:  "When I get big I want to be a fireman, a doctor, and recycle things."  "Wait, I want to be a mom and a teacher."
