Like any adventure being a Mom is chalk full of moments that can take my breath away. Sometimes it's because I'm avoiding the aroma of stinky feet or a dirty diaper, other times it's a slice of amazing only kids can bring that leaves me staring in awe. My rollercoaster life raising 6, soon to be 7 kids can be chaotic at times, but embracing the insanity is half the fun.

wonder of all wonders

Holy Potatoes and Mustard Greens!!!My little homebody has flewn the coop! That's right, the diva has left the building. The package is in route. She spread her little wings and flew. Out into the wild gray yonder. Off to discover that there is a whole other world other than the couch. Imagine her suprise when she sees that she will not evaporate into dust when she ventures out without me!! That zombies will not eat her!! That the cold, while annoying will not turn her into an ice cube!!

Maybe the cold does make people crazy, and before you know it, crazy becomes normal!
Bet you can't guess what I'm thinking.... "Will wonders never cease?!"
Oh you guessed that? GET OUT OF MY HEAD!
Momma is soooo proud!

= p

darn I should have taken photos!!!

yeah, I'm a little silly but I just don't know how to react to this magnificent event . hehehe
Love ya girl. muuuuuah!

There's a bug in my house

A giant one. Not the creepy crawly kind but the icky sicky kind.

Poor Greenlee has a hellacious cough and snot that the snot monstors would envy. I'm wavering on whether to take her to the doctor, she sounds awful, and she is just not herself. :(

Kirstan was sick Monday, puking and feeling like crap, and then woke up again today with a headache and throwing up. I've been trying to baby them both but then today I woke up feeling like crap. No puking yet, just not feeling good. Headache, body aches, and dizzy when I stand.
In reality I don't think any of us have the same thing, and it might not even be a "bug", but it really stinks.

I warned the kids when they came home from school today that they'd better be angels because I feel like crap. I just wanna bundle up under my covers and go to sleep, but that's not happening. Have to take care of my sick babies and make sure the well ones are entertained enough to stay out of trouble.

Urgh sometimes this single mom stuff is for the birds. I want to be babied too!!
Hopefully my yuckiness will pass with some chilling and quiet. It better I have 3 quizzes due tonight, 3 due Friday and a final paper and two finals to study for that I have to take at the beginning of next week. And I have to finish Christmas shopping at some point. Boo!

Not to mention I'm a little anxious about some news I'm suppossed to get tomorrow or Friday. Bah! Blah! Ick! Ugh!
