Avoiding Necessary Activities

Just put the kids down for their naps..and thought id take a couple minutes to post before i busy myself with my rarely given free time. ive spent today trying to vacuum the endlessly found crumbs from Finns various snacks, he likes to carry around. i have gone over and over and yet i can still feel them in various places when i walk. maybe its our vacuum...hmm. by the way i apologize for the incorrect grammar and no capitalization in this post..for some reason i just dont feel like paying attention to it today. we all have those days, right?

yesterday, i took the kids to a very fun birthday party. we had lots of fun with some of our good friends. i have to say though i am completely and utterly worn out still! taking care of these two in a big bounce house place is a lot of work by myself. i hated that stephen had to work! and he has a dads night out scheduled tonight. needless to say by the time his off day on tuesday rolls around..i will be wiped! but, its all made better by the fact i have two happy kids who enjoyed themselves!

alright i may come back to this later but right now im starving!

Rare Silence

Im sitting here on the couch with my husband. He is lost in a book with a subject that really doesnt interest me..So with the quiet and thinking, I realized I havent been on here in a few days! Its been a weird week..which included some marital spats but luckily we have worked through those.

Stephen and I have been together for 5 1/2 years married for 3. Our jobs and lives have changed completely since the beginning. With having 2 children and living into our adult lives we started hitting snags purely because we have both evolved and changed some. So I think right now is just a process of almost starting over and learning who we are as people and a couple. It's a work in progress but something tells me its normal. But I think we are both in it for the long haul. Our babies' sweet faces remind us everyday whats important and why we are here..Nothing is more important to us then making sure they have a happy loving home.

The last couple weeks, it has also seemed like we are constantly on the go. The kids, esp Finn, are getting so busy..it feels like we spend a lot of time keeping them entertained. Being out of the house, keeps the house cleaner and the kids ready for their bedtimes in the evening..works all the way around. However it tends to result in a very tired mommy..so my nights have been filled with sneaking off to bed as soon as they let me or trying to catch up on Desparate Housewives..Really wanted to enjoy the finale..I got to it a day late but eh works for me..However now im really sad its over. To me watching the show made me feel the way I do when I read a great book..Kept me totally interested the whole time. Now I just feel like a lost some best friends..Im pretty sure Gilmore Girls has some competition for the favorite series top spot!

Well the kids seem to be good and asleep, so I think tonight is another sneak off to bed since I can kind of night!

Sooo tired

It's times like these that Im glad I have this blog. I dont like whining on facebook much. Im feeling utterly and completely exhausted. When I went to the hospital they said I had anemia pretty bad. But thanks to the kidney stuff it's getting worse. Normally, I could take iron and it would help but the antibiotic they put me on for the infection I have doesnt allow you to take iron with it, so i have to get through it first. But Im thinking, I need to go to a Dr and ask for a different medicine, cus Im just way too tired. Taking care of the kids is so difficult when I feel this way. Hoping to get an appt soon to fix this. Blah! yup that about sums up my mood.

Monday Funday

1pm
Something anyone reading these should know..I have to clean all the time..Finn has a large sense of curiosity which tends to create a pretty messy house. Ive spent this morning cleaning the living room despite the fact i scrubbed it clean a couple days ago. The kids are hanging out watching Sesame Street (my go to when I need a chance to get something done). Stephen is back at work for 3 days. Already ready for him to be home again.

The good thing about today, Finn learned how to bend down and give sister kisses. He just walked up and did it him self..These moments are what make parenting awesome. He also learned how to cover his eyes and say boo when he moves his hands..We also learned to cover our ears..just a fun way to make him aware of wear they are:)

Hope everyone has a good Monday!

6pm
After Finn's nap I decided to let him do a craft for mothers' day for his grandparents..This activity requires making paint out of Jello. Ive made jello before even jello paint but I just totally messed it up..kinda upset about that one! Looks like mothers' day cards are gonna be created from stickers on foam circles with some markers! Thats ok, hopefully the gifts will turn out cute!

Finn has been playing so nicely with Lorelai today! I cant wait til a couple months from now..they are gonna be such great play mates.

6:50
Dishes done, the next load of laundry is in and watching Veggie Tales with the kids for a minute..Finn really wanted to cuddle in my lap to watch and as fast as this boy is growing, Im not about to argue

Cleaning Day

Today has been our lazy Saturday. First time this month, Stephen finally had his normal days off again and we have been enjoying it, once I started feeling better. Last night, on quatro de Mayo, we went to a Cinco De Mayo celebration. We were there for a couple hours before a storm started rolling in, so we got out of there. But on the way back home we stopped to answer a friend's call for help and ended up hangin out all night. Always a great time with those folks:) So, by the time we got home, the whole family was tired and we all slept in. Finally got up and around, after we played in our bed with the kids for a while and made breakfast. After breakfast, Lorelai went back down for a snooze and Stephen played with Finn while I got the majority of the house clean. Still got some to go. Ever since my 2nd c section I keep getting some lower back pain when I do a lot, so Im sitting and resting it for a bit. Still have our bedroom, kitchen and all the vacuuming to go. Tomorrow once Im done with the house will be a big laundry day. Cant believe how it piles up when I take a couple days off. Gotta say activities like this make me love our smart TV..been jamming to music on it all day, while I clean.

Slow starting movies

Just put kids to bed. Stephen had to run to work to finish stuff up for a bit. So here I sit turning on New York I Love You. It's starting off slow..hope it's worth my time :/  How many times have you given a slow movie a chance and ended up being glad you did?

Yup, wasn't worth sitting through...

Hospital

Let's see if I can pick this thing back up again. I am always relaxed by these types of things, so why not? Last night was rough, spent 5 hours in the hospital because I had spent all evening in horrible nauseating pain. Since we have 2 kids, I called my lovely friend Brianna to go to the hospital with me, while Stephen and the kids stayed home. I knew by the time I got out the kids would be miserable and I also knew Brianna would be great company(i was proven right!). After tests, ivs and 5 hours, it was found that I have stones in both sides, an infection hiding somewhere, a cyst and had some anemia going on. Totally ugh! Bright side had lots of talk and catch up time with a good friend. Finally made it home about 5:30a.m.

Thankfuly enough, Stephen was able to stay home to help with the kids today. I was prescribed some medicines that Im waiting to go pick up. Woke up about noon, had something to eat and am currently letting Stephen get a little rest(he was home but with me gone in a hospital, didnt sleep well). Im feeling well enough to watch the kids for a while..One of the things about being a mother, a true sick day isn't obtainable.

Just hanging out with the kiddos and catching up on New Girl episodes. For today, that is all. :)
