Let me tell you about our crew... Momma L- I dig pretty shoes- that are comfy. And coffee, I love coffee. Big Daddy- He is gonna cringe if he sees this, lol. I also dig that. He loves playing basketball with the kiddos. JD- He is 14. He is sarcastic. He is a freshman in HS. He is a regular teen. Annoyingdotcom. I heart that. HN- 9 yr old math wiz and future rap star. Well at least that is how he sees himself. He currently is enjoying beatboxing, reading, and anything techy. Little Miss- 8 years old, loves my little ponies and her critters. She loves all things pretty. HW- 7 years old and if it has to do with construction,garbage trucks, or wild life...he's there! He is my little funny man. Baby O- 4 years old and fancies herself fancy. She enjoys all things dolly, tea party, or shopping related.

Why am I not in bed right now??????

Really I mean really, why did I not got to bed like and hour ago right after Nash got home from work? I just don't know. I know I will pay in the morning, but I am just awake for some reason. The kids didn't nap at all today and so here I sit, finally getting some time to myself. An old episode of The Office playing in the background- The Cat Camera one- for those of you who are truely interested. "Also, I'm pretty sure she coughed up a hairball." ok enough with The Office....
Anyways, where have I been!!???!!! Seriously...oh wait yes that's it we all got sick again. UGH COME OOOONNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!! This time it was the Stomach FLU. I will spare you the Gory, poopy, pukey, details...well that is basically it. It lasted from the night of O's big par-tay, until wed. I never puked, knock on wood, but I am still battling the queeziness.
Well this may be cut short... Baby O is waking and may be needing me. She has yet another double ear infection. Might be time to make the switch to goats milk. More on that later....

Today

Well there is much to do today....what's new right? I am heading off to the gym this morning for Zumba, where O will probably end up on my back cause she hates nursery. It seems to take like two weeks to get her back into things if we have been gone for awhile.
Then I have to rush home and get HN fed and out for school...but first I have to change O's diap. HN just came in and said "Mom Olive is Def. poopy!" Sooo off I go!!!

supercalafragalistexpealidooocious......or something like that anyways....

HN keeps galavanting around the house singing this song. He has not yet seen Mary Poppins, he has just heard the song from the new Disney Sing it video game and he loves the song. I have a feeling the movie viewing will be in our future.
Whilst talking about old movies let's talk about how I have Wizard of Oz songs stuck in my head. I bought the movie on Black Friday-on Bluray, and we have watched it several times. I just love that movie. Ok, I just heard the laundry, so this is all you people will probably get today.

The Plague...

Soooo Nash and I finally went to the dr. yesterday. We have had the cough for like two weeks now and we went in. We recieved antibiotics and an inhaler. Then we went one hall over and O and HN had their appt to check their ears since they both had ear infections. Well HN still has fluid and redness so he is going on MORE anti's and if that doesn't work, it will be tubes AGAIN for him. O looked good. Praise God!
Then we get home and HW has a fever so today we went BACk to the Dr. and now he is on anti's too! The Dr. said the only thing saving O from not getting this horrible bug is probably nursing. So she wants her to increase her nursing to try to prevent it. OHEMGEE, this thing needs to go away already!!!
So today's agenda...fluids, movies, and well that's about it....staaaayyyy tuuunneeddd!!!

AMOX, M J glove, and other oddities

while I whole hearted appreciate the fact that you are clearing up my child's DOUBLE ear infection (yes two of my children brought back that little souvenir from KY)I DON't appreciate the LOADS of CRAPPOLA that you bring with yourself!!! I mean seriously 2tsp a day brings like 3 or more diapers a day of poo. Really. COME ON!!!!!

While we are on weird things, let's talk abou how HW is wandering about the house with one red glove on. Yes, it is because he can only find just the one, but still all I can think in my head is..."Billy Jean is not my Lovvaa, She just a girl who claims that I am the oonnnee, Buut the kid is not my soooon!! Heeeeeheeeee!!!" Wrong, maybe a little, but I can't help it. I am a product of my age.

Baby O right now, and HW both did not nap this afternoon. I thought, we would drift off and ease back into reality this week with a movie. Well that didn't happen. We got a little over half into Wizard of Oz, when HW realized he was hungry and started causing a ruckus thus disturbing O and making her rouse from almost asleepness. Now we are in the playroom playing with pretend food, which is quite funny for O, she grabs a french fry, and is always disappointed. baahaha. Still funny everytime. The two little ones are also enjoying the slide toy that I bring in every winter. We have had this since HN was one and it has provided hours of indoor and outdoor play.
Well, I suppose I should do something productive, like oh unload dishes or some such thing like that. Blah blah.

Christmas in Kentucky

Sooo let's start from the begining... We got the car loaded up and were so excited to be heading off for vacation. We made it across the mountain to Tete's house and stayed the night there as we were going to have to wake up at THREE in the am the next day.
Flight Day- Everything went off without a hitch, we got up and got to the airport, got on the airplane and the kids were very excited to be on the airplane and flying. We landed in Las Vegas and let me just comment here about the stupidness-yes I am sure that is not a word, but I want it to be right now- of LV and their airport. What brainiac got the idea to put slot machines 5 steps off the plane. People are getting off and trying to figure out where their next flight is going to be and what is catching the little childrens eyes, the SLOT MACHINES. So while you are looking at your flight schedule your children climb up into a chair, then some rude airport attendant comes over and tells you, since you should obviously know, that you can get a HUGE fine for letting your kids play on the machines or even be a certain feet near them. But they are EVERYWHERE. Just when you get away from one you are backing into another. And your child has never been told they can't "fake" play with the "video games" before. What crazy universe is this. Don't put slot machines where everyone has to sit and wait for their airplanes, that is just insane!
Ok, enough with LV... So we head on to L-Ville
The kids did GREAT on the plane they each had their bags and were very entertained with activities and movies. Nana was there to greet us and the kids were quite excited! So was Nana. The first few days of our trip was great, well except for poor Henry. He seemed to have caught a cold from between the time we left home to Mom's and was lethargic, poopy, and coughy. We all however though we were in the clear because for about a week it was just him. We went on a Santa Cruise, got a Christmas tree. It was a great time by all. Lindsay arrived and still it was just poor Henry. Us gals went shopping. And by shopping I mean we acted crazy doing Chinese fire drills and getting Passion Ice teas with extra Passion and what not. Then everything went down hill. One by one everyone started dropping like flies. All except Mom, LJ, and Jakey have got it. And by "it" I mean the plague, the death, the cold that just keeps "giving" just when you think you feel better you don't. You are tired, headachey, stuffy, sore throat, coughy, the whole shabang!! Let's just say by the end of our trip we were ready to be home. haha. We left Mom and Dad's on a 7am flight had airplane troubles delaying us like and 1.5hrs in AZ, then drove straight home and got home at 8:30 WA time so 11:30 KY time. (We were up at like 4 KY time that morning) Long day basically. We are still getting over the cold.
All in all good times were had. Crazy times were had. Memories were made!

The live traffic feed....

Hey Creepers.... I only have three follower, one of which is a cousin who I am pretty sure never comes on my blog anymore. Yet according to this "live traffice feed" there is someone from Penn, from Ill, from Bellingham WA, and several other places frequenting my blog. You folks are probably a little bored since I haven't updated it since October. I know come one seriously how hard can it be to sit down and type something. Well let me tell you.....
Since October Nash and I went on a business trip to Texas. Which was pretty entertaining. We took Baby O, but HN and HW stayed with TETE. I was a nervous freakin wreck about them towards the end. Moral of the story, this mother cannot be away from her children for more than say three days. They however, had a blast.
Then we spent the first two weeks cleaning and getting ready for what was going to be a wonderful, magical Christmas in KY, we had the house all ready to go, The trip was however lackluster... see a future post concerning this. It needs it's own post it was so crazy.
Sooo that is where my time went. Now let's get down to who you folks are. I check on here every once in awhile to see if there is a comment or something, there usually isn't. Why no commenting. I can see people are coming on here. Is there nothing comment worthy? How about a little howdy do? I know where you are from, but I don't know who you are. it is a little odd:) juuuussttt saying.
OK HN is buggin me for a cup of milk so I gotta go!
