Weekend crapshoot

There were many "highs" to our weekend including Addy spending the night a friend's house, having friends over for dinner, Addy having her friend spend the night, two visits to the gym, the indoor Christmas decorations (except lights) are up including the tree, but we were not expecting to be hit with a $600+ maintenance for Cody's truck.  No, it couldn't wait, and yes, they are the cheapest and offer a lift time warranty. 

Shitty ass timing, simply put.  We are traveling out of town this week (extra money for that) plus, Santa's elves need to be paid to start and finish making the gifts. 

Friday Night Leftovers - tingly hands

• This week I started my new migraine prevention meds, and they have been an adjustment.  I'm currently waiting for the nurse to call me back, because the joints in my right hand are in some pretty intense pain (not so common) along with the constant tingly sensation (very common).  Yes, bone pain is a possible side effect. 
• Kinsley and Addy got to have a play date with Addy's friend from school.  They won't stop asking if they can go back to her house.  
• Speaking of asking, Kinsley still keeps begging to go trick or treating every.single.day.
• I took Eligh to the doctor for his eczema (just needed some cream) and left with a referral to a nutritionist as he lost a pound in a month and is already on the more than small size. 
• Addy made daddy take her to dance class this week.  Poor daddy had to deal with a bunch of non-stop gabbing about how wonderful their children are mommies.  He's a pretty good daddy to agree to these terms. 
• Did I tell you all that I got the newest iPhone?  I like that I can have a conversation with it and not be a crazy person.
• Addy does not have school and daddy does not have to work today.  It's a more than GREAT Friday.  I hope your Friday is just as great.  

Stop by the lovely, Danifred, to see what others are bringing this week. 

Thankful on Thursday

Joining in again this week. 

This week I am thankful for:

• a friend who will sit in a waiting room for two hours
• three kiddos that love to hug, kiss, and say "I love you" frequently throughout the day
• a hubby who is handling bed times a couple nights a week without me just so I can have some "me" time at the gym
• receiving an early birthday gift when we don't typically even exchange gifts
• detoying the house
• blankets 

What are you thankful for this week?

Talking Tuesday #4

Addy:  "Eligh pinched me!"

Eligh:  "What the heck am I doing?"

Eligh picks a booger and responds, "Ewww....it's poop!"

Kinsley:  "Mom, I'm not going to eat my booger any more."


These kiddos are classy.

Kinsley's Wish List

Here are the list of items on Kinsley's list that are a MUST:

 

My Little Pony house of some sort.

Tinkerbelle house - she already has all the fairies that fit

These ridiculous slippers 

Other than those items, she will tell you she wants what she sees on the t.v, but if you ask her she always tells you the two houses. 

When nothing else matters

I could write about my Veteran's Day including a free meal, or my updated treatment plan for my migraines, Paws biting Eligh, Eligh skidding his face into the table, or a variety of mundane events.  But, these things are not worth it.  My heart, head, and emotions are scattered and lost searching to find the jagged edge that fits together just right to make it whole again. 

Please stop over my dear, dear, dear friend's blog.  This is not another "story" of a friend of a friend of a friend.  Let me remind you, Kym was carrying Sam when I was carrying Addy.  These two little ones are just a few weeks apart and I feel a strong yearning to support and help in any way I can.  I know that I will be helping by creating a fundraiser for Sam and his family through Scentsy to help raise money.  I know that my family cannot possibly give much or do much, but if I can get enough people to buy any commission I would make from sales will go directly to them which is well over what I could ever donate from our own income.  Stay tuned for further details as Kym gets everything in order. 

Just another reminder of how unimportant the mundane events of our lives are when so many others are going through much bigger and challenging journeys. 

Thankful on Thursday

I am going to try and keep this up at least for the month of November, as I am not participating in the daily thankful posting on FB. 

I'm thankful for

• a workout buddy
• a husband who encourages me to leave the house without the children
• A friend who will run Addy in and out of the school on cold and rainy days so I can keep the twins nice and warm
• the return of peppermint ice cream

What are you thankful for this Thursday?  Idea comes from here.
