Boy, it's only 4:45pm and it feels like 10pm!! I've started my morning walk/jogs again this week and have been trying to stay on track diet wise but have been failing miserably at that! I love to bake and have a lot of time to do so in between helping kids with school, etc. I do hate doing dishes by hand so you'd think that would slow me down in the baking department, but NOT! Wednesday took the kids in to school to practice for stateline, then to ortho appt. for Brooke - the tooth she had exposed had really moved down in 9 days time (they didn't want to see her for 4 weeks - usually go 8 wks inbetween, but doctor said he didn't want to lose the tooth). Well, it looked like if we were to wait 4 weeks we might lose the tooth, so we went in for them to look at it. They readjusted wires and went to the next step. Makes up for the lost time while waiting for the exposure surgery to happen:) Then to the mall to pick up shades for the living/dining room windows - I got tired of the kung fu panda blanket covering the one window! Then to church and home again! Thursday we spent the day at home, then the barn. Friday at 4 we dropped Brooke off at the church for a teen activity - going to Grace Baptist in Gaylord for a college tour then today they played laser tag somewhere up there... We went on into town to look at tub surrounds for our bathroom then McD's for supper, then stopped at Heather and Brian's and ended up playing Domino's with them. That is so much FUN!! I WON:) I even beat my husband! We had left the puppy at home in her kennel not thinking we'd be gone late and when we arrived home after midnight, she was one happy puppy! Needless to say, she was not ready to go to sleep! 2am we finally went to bed and Curt slept with her in Brooke's bed. I woke her up at 7:30am this morning and took her for a hike around our property. We saw a deer in the corn, heard turkey and owls. When I took her out last night, you could really hear the owls - eery sound in the middle of the night!! I went to Clio for grocieries, then a baby shower at the barn where our horse is, then home! Delicious meal of lasagna at the shower - I feel like going to bed! Puppy is snoring at my feet, Lyndsay is still sleeping from a late nap... I bought her some pull ups today. Everytime she goes potty she wants and takes the diapers off. I will find her naked all of a sudden out of the blue and she looks at me and says POOPY... (poopy means everything wet/dirty, etc.) So, we are going to see if she wants to potty train at 19months! I am not really looking forward to doing it this early, but if she's ready! I will be running to the restrooms at stores, gas stations, etc. again!! She's a smart little girl and I think it will come to her quickly! She loves to sit on the potty and doesn't even waiver or get scared when I put her on it!
Hubby pulled our tub out of our bathroom yesterday and is sealing all of the cracks in it out in the barn before he brings it back in and sets it in concrete. I can't wait to have my shower back again!!! The kids' bathroom is all done and looks pretty nice! After that, we will have the final plumbing inspection and overall inspection and be done. Then, we will hopefully hook up the woodstove to help with heating costs! Propane bill was 440.00 and we heat our hot water with electricity and haven't got that bill yet:( Woodstove makes a HUGE difference in the budget! Praise the Lord we have it! Not to mention the good exercise we get from cutting and collecting wood for it! I think that's why I am so tired out by this time - my walks are giving me fresh air every morning!
The boys have been playing games all day with Dad, off and on. Erin is at Grandpa Steve's for a bit and I need to go and pick up Brooke in a bit! So, off I go to think about dinner, I guess. Have a great weekend everyone!
