Random

Rarely do Dr tell you the whole truth about surgery, "oh you will be back to work in a few days" right!? BUT when they say it is going to hurt they aren't lying.

Alexandra has two loose teeth

I already miss taking Alexandra to art class. Might sign up both preschool kids next go round.

I miss friends and family terribly today. I think it is because Nana was here for almost a week and left today.

All three kids are sick. Same viral cold with all having different reactions. Nathan and Alexandra have pink eye, with runny noses and a slight cough. Alexandra also has an ear infection in her outer ear. Maddie is a mess and sounds like she has smoked cigarettes for 50 years. Finally got her a narcotic cough medicine so the girl can sleep. We have antibiotics, ear drops, eye drops, cough medicine and over the counter medications. Praying I don't put ear drops in the kids eyes. OYE VE!

I can't believe Thanksgiving is next week!

Can't believe Christmas is upon us!

Did I say how much I miss my friends?

We haven't gotten much done to the house because we are having a hard time getting people here. Not sure what lesson I am supposed to be learning but some of this I can't make up.

Chimney guy was going to finally be here almost two weeks ago but went to the hospital for an infection in his hand (on the day I was scheduled) Haven't hear a word from him since.

We have an awful smell coming from the downstairs bathroom and have to pay an $79 fee for the plumber that said he didn't know where it was coming from. Called another plumber for a second option. He was supposed to be here yesterday at 8 am. NO SHOW. Called him and he said he got us and another client mixed up and would not be able to get here until TUESDAY!........ scratch that he just called and said he could come in 5 minutes if that was okay with me....... YES PLEASE! So weird he called as I was typing about him.

Four must be the magic number because that is the number of times it took the roof guys to fix the roof. I think it is fixed and pray that it is fixed right this time. Over two months since I signed the contract!

Not good news on the plumbing. I see my kitchen remodel $$$ going out the door and into the plumbers pockets. OR am I getting a new kitchen faster than we planned? UGGG! Talk of having to tear out ceilings and tub in master bath. Joy of an upstairs kitchen that ties into you master bathroom. Might end up with a new master bath too. Which only means other things will have to wait.

Whatever this bug is that isn't "the flu" sure is bad enough! We've had the same experience - we all have the same cause, but different infections. From sinus/ear infections to pneumonia! And when will it end? This started Halloween weekend! I've been hacking for weeks.

Low Expectations

Mark and I took the kids a couple of years ago to Orlando for a weekend.  Nathan was less than a year old, Alexandra must have just turned 2 and Madison was 4.  I look back and laugh but at the time it was anything but funny.  A trip to Disney would be fun and relaxing right?  HA!  We never even made it to Disney because Madison was so ornery the day we were going to go I couldn't justify going.  We learned a lot about being parents of three young kids that weekend.   During our stay we took the kids to the Rainforest Cafe.  Nathan was terrified the whole meal and after our $75 lunch Madison threw up all over the table and floor.  That is when Mark made the rule we don't take the kids to a restaurant unless it has a drive thru, curbside doesn't count.  We really do stick to that rule and the only sit down "nice" restaurant we go to with the kids is Sonny's BBQ.  Before we left I wanted to get the kids a little something from the Disney Marketplace.  I took the...

True Friends

I am on Facebook daily and love flair.  I had a local friend send me flair that said , " True friendship isn't being inseparable. It's being separated and nothing changes."  I'm hoping that once I leave this area I have many friends that are true friends.  This post is an ode to such a friend.  One friend of mine moved away many years ago and I realized the other night that she is that just that friend.  It doesn't matter if time or many miles separates us she is a true friend.  I realized after a long conversation on the phone with that person (her mostly listening) that I have a gem of a friend and I am so grateful for her.  I just wanted to send out a shout to that person, you know who you are and let you know I think your the best!   Maybe one day God will let us live in the same city.   It is funny as you get um... well.... older you start to have friends all over the country.  I do have many friends all over the place and each of you are special to me.  ...

Intentional Spending

I first want to say I am not cheap!  I don't buy the cheapest item just because I want to save money.  I do like finding a good deal on things that are high quality.  I don't like sacrificing quality for price.  I try to never pay full price for anything.   When I say our spending it intentional what I mean is that Mark and I sit down around November and hash out the budget.  Some things are constants in the budget.  Mortgage, phone, insurance pretty much stay the same.  Some vary like gas, water, electric.  After years of budgeting we can average out what we spent the year before and add if needed to the new budget.   Here is what we do know we have to pay something first so they go in the budget first.  Then what is "leftover" is up for dividing.  This is not a fool proof plan. Medical never gets budgeted enough money.  Which is why you should have a savings account.  Every category gets a set amount of money tha...
