My beautiful girl

My daughter is so amazing. Sometimes so frustrating, but mainly amazing. She is beautiful, kind, tenderhearted and loves to sing.

Today she came in the house and her and Moriyah sat on the couch and she read a story to her. Then they went upstairs to get on dress up clothes. Hannah held moriyah's hand all the way down and as they walked off to play Hannah said, "Daddy, she is my best friend forever!"

Melts my heart. I pray they will always have a close and tender relationship.

Do I really sound like that?

Well tonight we got home and the boys went to playing. Hannah went upstairs and Moriyah and I started to cook dinner. I have been doing the evening shift alone this week as adam has had to work until after midnight. I make a terrible single parent!! On to the story. I heard Hannah say Mommy I need your help. I was very impressed because she has taken to talking like a baby lately. She is the oldest one at the daycare. I wonder if she thinks she'll get more attention if she does. I quickly headed upstairs to praise her big girl words and see what she wanted. When I got to the top of the stairs I saw her standing there with her arms on her hips. at her feet was a bed she'd made from burp rags and a baby doll all swaddled. She said "Get in there and clean your room then put away the dish washer" All the while wagging her finger at me. My immediate thought was "do i sound and look like this" obvious answer YES! Those are the only two regular chores our boys have. Funny thing is both my room and the dishes did need my attention. Oh two year olds can speak much truth without even trying!

wooohooo

i coached Andrews soccer team this spring. I enjoyed definately learned a ton and would enjoy doing it again. Of course we had our ups and downs. one kid i suspect has a mild form of autism such as asbergers. he would always say see ya later gator. to which i was to respond after a while crocodile and he would say toodles noodles and run to his dad. if i didn't we would have to say goodbye again.

today was our last game and our party. each kiddo got a trophy and i got a huge water bottle. the kind thats in the shape of one of those water cooler jugs. i also got chocolate covered coffee beans and a $40 gift certificate to starbucks. just incase you didn't catch that i said $40. I couldn't believe it! Woohoo.

it was such a great surprise gift. We're waiting to hear but if all goes well i'm getting a house on mothers day! i've never been so impatient in my life. Call already and accept our offer!!

HELP!

This is the life of a mother. So far this week i've had 3 kids with diarrhea, 2 vomitting (with horrible aim i might add), two fevers, several upset stomachs, a runny nose and i think Hannah woke up this morning with the flu. All she's done today is sleep. Moriyah just got 3 shots, so i've ruined the only well kid. i don't want to have to deal with anymore bodily fluids, please just keep them to yourself.

I can feel myself starting to succumb to whatever has been floating around my house and all i want to do is go to bed. Sadly that is not a luxury a mommy gets when she is sick. Lucky for my kids that our screen restrictions will be very loosely enforced while i fight this bug.
