Well, here it is Sunday, my only day off and I feel like crud! I have been fighting this chest cold thing for two weeks now and I feel worse today. My husband told me to stay home and take care of myself and get better. So, here I am about to lay on the couch and nap while baby naps! Work is work, nothing too exciting - long drive, long day, long drive home! I am looking forward to having this next weekend off.
Amber's grandma called yesterday and has been graciously checking into food and things for Amber's open house in July. So, the ball is rolling on that and looks good so far! It's hard to believe her graduation ceremony is at the end of May!
Brooke is a driving fool now! No, she does a good job and gets to drive quite a bit when we go places. She took care of things at home in the morning and after school while Amber was gone and did a great job!
Curt and Isaac and Erin have been spending lots of time outside this last week with the warm weather! Jeremy mowed the lawn and did stuff outside as well with the kids.
Friday night, while me and Lyndsay ran to TSC for sawdust and Meijer's for groceries, Jeremy and Erin and Isaac moved the chicks out to the shed - the smell was getting real bad in the garage! The kids were so excited to be able to hold the chicks. There were chicks on the trampoline (or jumpoline as Isaac and Erin call it), the playscape fort, the swing, etc. So, they were probably grateful to be put away for the night - especially since there were turkey hawks flying overhead! So, Saturday night, we cleaned out the pen in the garage and moved it out next to the shed for the chicks to have outside time in when the weather permits...
Thursday night I was sitting in the rocker with the baby and Erin was outside mowing the lawn with daddy. She came in to go potty and then came into the kitchen and said she needed to use my potty. No, you just went. So, she kind of just dissappeared and I assumed she'd gone back outside with daddy. I told Brooke to go and check on her. She wasn't outside so I told her to check my bathroom because I had just bought new makeup (to hide black circles:) and thought she might be into that. Brooke came running out saying "Mom, you're going to be so mad!" I thought, yes I will be $30.00 in makeup! So, I put baby in her swing and ran into my room to find strands of blond hair all over the floor! YES - HAIR! My first child ever to cut their own hair! Dummy me for leaving the scissors in her reach! So, she pulled her hair away from her face (on both sides) and cut about ear length straight back! Oh my, what to do? I called a lady down the road who cuts our hair at times, she wasn't home (8PM). So, I grabbed the scissors myself, put the little girl who thinks she knows everything into the tub and started layering... I would close my eyes and breathe in deep and pray once in a while as well. All in all, it doesn't look too bad - better than chopping it off ear length, I suppose. I go this week for a hair appointment myself (to hide the gray) so maybe Kim can do some more wonders with it. I should've taken before and after pictures, but was too busy having a heartattack to think about pictures. But, I will take a picture of the after mom's haircut and post it tonight maybe. So that was our big happening of the week.
Lyndsay's doing great - smiling and chuckling. Growing, eating and sleeping. We went into town to eat dinner last night and she was good, sat in her car seat smiling at me the whole time until the very end!
Okay, naptime for me and hopefully I won't end up going to MedExpress today! Also, keep praying for my legs (veins). My right leg has really been bothering me this week, but I'm giving it one more week to see if using muscles I haven't used for awhile is part of the pain or not. It is really hard getting the the doctor from our work. They are really strict on their attendance procedures and it is really hard getting time off. So, I tend to worry more about getting the time off to take my kids in when needed then myself. I only have 5 personal call in days a year and need to use them wisely. Jeremy went to Millington to pick up more chick feed and get a part off of the plow he needs to replace so he can start plowing up hay fields again.
Have a great Lord's day. Chris
