Hope every one is doing well. I really need to be getting ready to go to a meeting, but the house is quite (girls are at dance) and its the first chance I have had to sit down at the computer in a couple of days. Thought you ladies could appreciate my story from this morning....
I was running behind as usual and trying to get the kids out the door and in the truck (I drive a four door truck). I layed my phone on the edge of the bed as I put Alivia in and buckled her and then left it there as I got in and drove out the drive way. Needless to say I happened to see it fly off in my mirror as I was driving down the road and realized what I had done. I live on a very busy state highway. Somehow I managed to find all five pieces of it that were scattered in the side ditch and put it back together. Apparently it was my lucky day cause it still works (knock on wood), with the exception of a little road rash

Lindsay: He did fabulous! No tears or annoyance from him at all! He just sat there and kept stealing her combs, lol!
Liz: Trip was great! Visited Grandma's old house, and also the grandparents' graves and a few other side trips.
Lorena: Awww!! Miss V is getting to be such a big girl! Glad that the transition to a bed went well!
Lauren: HAHA!! Do we have a woohoo yet?
Chris: Wow! That's some luck for sure! I'm impressed that it's still in working order, lol!
Bleh, where's the cleaning fairy again? Who is hiding her in their closet, because I want her!!

Chris: You wouldn't be saying that if you saw my laundry mountain this weekend! It was out of control! In my defense, I was gone for the entire week before!
Lauren: So tell me, what kinda looks did ya get walking into Victoria's secret with your baby belly?
Jessica: Ugh, being sick by itself is miserable, let alone not being able to take anything for it! Hugs! I hope you feel better soon!
Liz: Adorable!!
So we went to music class today at gymboree, kinda useless as Elim just wanted to go bang on the glass doors where he could see the big kids were. He'd much rather be hanging out with them! Then went to target, and left Elim's mac 'n cheese there!! So no mac 'n cheese for lunch, I had to scrounge around. Of course, it's the one that's way far away so I'm not going back today. She said I could pick it up tomorrow though, so I'm gonna go to music class for older kids tomorrow so it's not a totally wasted trip.

Stacy- That is some special Mac n Cheese! We were thinkin' the Gymboree type classes for next session, but I think we'll stick with music. No strange looks... they were so busy I don't think anyone noticed!
Liz- Aww that's so cute. I hear ya on the low motivation.
Going to attempt to wade through my to do list.

Stacy - I can just see him banging on the glass to get to the older kids having more fun. Bummer on the mac n cheese though.
Liz - Feeling that pain today too.
Somehow got through 40 minutes on the elliptical, a March for Babies meeting, Costco, Target, and the unload. So tired. I hate PMS. Takes everything out of me, leaving only mean, yelling, b***chy mommy behind. Thankful we're going out to dinner tonight (epilepsy fundraiser a friend is holding). I'm toast.

Sheeeesh Donna! You just packed like four of my days in one! You're a rock star! Just a Racerback bra... nothin' too fancy just a needed item.... can't see my underwear these days so no sense to fancy that up... as long as the old ones aren't on backwards I figure I'm having a good day and they must look great.

Hey all,
Jess--sorry you aren't feeling well. See you tomorrow at Zumba!!!!!
Donna--your days sound like mine. I fell like I am always running and it just does not stop
Stacy-- booo for the mac n cheese. I never did music together but did gymboree and LOVED it but that was with Emily about 7 plus years ago.
Well I miss you all, always busy and these days I am not sleeping that much. Matthew is waking up about 3 or more times a night crying that he wants to play. I tell him it is sleepy time and he says in his crying voice "ok mommy, night night. " I mean it is soooo cute but mommy needs sleep lol. Everyone getting ready for the holidays. Passover and easter are around the corner. I have sooo mucgh to do to get ready for passover and my kids are soooo excited since they are learning about the holiday at school. They cant wait to go to my cousins to celebrate.
Welll hope everyone has a good night!!!!

Donna: Wow! Busy woman! No idea if I could get that all done in one day myself!
Geri: Aww, poor Matthew (and you!)! I hope he figures out the whole night time equals sleepy time not playtime.
Looks like I'm going back to Target tonight! Found out my apple corer/slicer thing from pampered chef is in fact very sharp even though it feels dull. Said goodbye to a bit of my thumb slicing up a pear for Elim! Silly kiddo wouldn't even eat the pears after all that! Anyway, I need some more bandaids so might as well get the mac 'n cheese back tonight.

We are getting ready for Easter. I am in countdown mode...taking the kids to my parents' in Phoenix next Wednesday. Yahoo!!! They tell you it gets easier as your kids get older. It doesn't...it just gets different busy. So while I'm doing a lot of running around, it's not much different busy-wise than dealing with toddlers.

Stacy - ouch!!! That's no fun. I feel for ya. I went to the dermatologist today and left with a few stitches in my arm. I'm not a very good patient at waiting for things to heal.
So, it's going to be Easter before we know it. Anyone have any neat ideas of things they are putting in their kids Easter baskets? So far I have gotten sea monkeys, whoopie cushions, and bubbles.

Lauren - I'm so glad that your appt. went well. Wow, two appointments in one day! Way to work it! That's what I do especially when I'm paying an hourly rate for care. Get 'em handled.
Donna - I know your poker tournament is going to be a hit and I'm sure your video is going to rock!
Jess - Hope your appt. went well:)
Geri - One of my kiddos wakes up frequently during the night too. It's gotten a bit better. Haven't tried the 1 mg melatonin suggestion just yet.
Stacy - Glad that it went well. Sometimes those places can be so scary for them.
Lorena - Oh, big girl bed! That's a big milestone. Are you okay? What's happening to the crib?
Tracy/Katie - Happy Spring Breaks to you!
Chris - I put money in the green Easter eggs. My older son loves it and can't wait to find the "green" ones this year. We're making that a li'l tradition. I'm laughing because he's 6 and this week at school, he checked out a book on money!
Got something nasty on Wednesday. I was in bed the whole day and I saw my lunch and dinner from the previous day. Yuck! It was horrible. I got to thinking . . . I'm sure that I've thrown up more in my late 20s and early 30s than I ever did as an infant! Better now and sticking with "real" food for awhile. It's making a huge difference.
Happy Friday!

Probably nail polishes and stuff. Was contemplating some clothes or stuff for her American Girl doll, especially with free shipping right now.
Lindsay - ICK!! Glad you're feeling better. Food poisoning is awful, awful. BTW - are you around next week? Kids and I will arrive in Chandler Wednesday, staying until Tuesday.
Ahhhhhhhh....we are officially on Spring Break for two weeks. Yes, two weeks.

Oh girls....I feel like I've been out of the loop for a few days, but boy life has been so busy!! (Even without classes at night) I'm on SPRING BREAK now!!! Woohoo!!!! Donna~ I'm super jealous of 2 weeks of Spring Break! I know where to come apply for a job if I don't get a contract here!  Lauren~ That comment about not seeing your underwear is hilarious!!! Lorena~ They need chaperones for 3rd-5th graders to keep them from mowing each other down and pushing and shoving!!! That age group gets excited and get rowdy!! Katie and all the Stomach but girls~ I hope you're all feeling much better now! I can't remember anything else except that someone was looking for that darn cleaning fairy again.....  I'm hoping for a "fly by" too!!

Back to starting to feel human again! I ate for the first time in four days today. Kids had a karate tournament, Alex took three gold and Landen, who is too young to compete, took a silver and a bronze! We had to get special permission for him to compete, so proud of both of them!
Lauren-I hope that you had so much fun on the cruise!
Tracy-Happy Spring Break!
I am watching the Kids Choice Awards with Alex, while John and Landen are hunting. Didn't realize how much fun the kid's award shows are!!!

Tracy - Sadly, our school district isn't much better than yours. Tons of pink slips every year. We haven't gone to furlough days yet, nor have they closed any of our schools, but all of our classrooms are maxed out. If you find that cleaning fairy, let me know.
Lauren - Ooooooooohhhhhhh...enjoy the fancy hotel day!
Stacy - Elim is such a little ham. Too cute.
Day two of Spring Break and four of the five of us are sick. So not happy. On top of that, it's cold, windy, and keeps "misting" off and on. We did get out to see Hunger Games yesterday. Loved it. And Ryley's team won their baseball game too. Yippee!! Mother of the year - ran out of both boys' ADHD meds. Makes for interesting days. First time in the 3 1/2 years since Ryley's diagnosis that's happened. Grrrrrrrr
