A bunch of random

September 15, 2010 in Uncategorized

Not feeling all that inspired today (related: no post yesterday), but I sort of feel like talking about what’s going on day to day right now….

• Checked out a little yesterday.  Just chose to survive.  Spent a lot of time watching TV (which I never do), and cuddling and playing with my kids.  Didn’t do laundry, wash dishes, or get dressed for the day.  The kids were naked and we stayed home all day.  I would say that most of my days are happy, and good, but sometimes they are a little overwhelming, and days like this are how I cope.

• The reason for my survival day is because the two nights before that he had woken up every hour (every hour people!), and then woke up  at 4:00 AYE EM.  The second morning after the second night of this I seriously woke up and cried.  I felt like I had a newborn again, and yet, he wasn’t going to nap all day (like most newborns), and people wouldn’t be bringing me meals, and taking care of my toddler.  Two things I’m thankful for though- I randomly went to bed before 10 both nights because I felt God’s Spirit telling me to.  Yep, not because I was tired, but I just had a feeling I was going to need it, and I think I would be on the floor twitching right now if it wasn’t for that.

• Thankfully staying home all day yesterday gave him some great naps, and last night was way better (he woke up every two hours, but then went right back to sleep, and then woke up at 6:00, his normal wake up time).  I think he’s teething, or sick, or just bored, I don’t know, but it’s been rough.

• I took a personality test a few nights ago, and learned that I share the same personality type as Obama, and Oprah, and a bunch of other presidents.

• In one week my in-laws are bringing us their couch from their beach house (they got a new set), and so I will have a bright red, micro fiber sectional.  I’m very excited about this, since I hate our current couch.  I’m trying to figure out how to decorate around this couch so people don’t walk in and say “WOW, that’s a bright red couch!”

• Capri woke up this morning with a fever.  Then she went to the bathroom, and then came out into the living room crying saying that she was all wet.  I was confused.  Did she fall into the toilet or something?  I told her to go back to the bathroom and I would meet her in there to clean her up.  When I got close to her I noticed that it was not water but PUKE.  Ewe.  But she was big enough to walk to the bathroom, put her princess and horse on the counter, and throw up in the potty.  I am very impressed, and SO thankful.  So, gave her a bunch of remedies, and stuff to build up her immune system, and kept her home from school… and she seems to be totally fine.  (For example, she is currently giggling as Wade drags her around the house).  I always look at how my children are acting as a better sign of how they are feeling (then a fever or whatever).  I think a child that appears alert, and is playing and has a high fever, is not as sick as a child with a low fever that is lethargic and won’t make eye contact, or interact.  Ya know?  But Thatcher felt kind of warm today, and Wade and I both don’t feel all that awesome, so there is something in this house, and I hope it goes away NOW!

• Babies have been coming all month long, and it makes my heart so happy.  I think the count is up to 6 of my friends? THIS month! And my bestie is due next week.  I love babies, and I’m loving all these healthy mama’s and teenies- God is totally still a God of miracles!
• AND I want another baby….. but we are waiting…for now.
• Yesterday my brother and SIL sent the kids presents.  Thatcher got Sophie the giraffe, and they sent Capri a sprinkler (by melissa and doug) that is in the shape of flowers, and you hook it up to the hose for some hot summer fun!  I love getting things in the mail, and this sweet, thoughtful “just because” gift was so needed yesterday.
• Capri has been talking in funny sentences all day.  Just saying things that I think grown ups say.  Like “I don’t know where I put it.” or “my toes are really wrinkly and I think that’s funny”.
• I am constantly thinking about this whole spanking vs. not spanking thing, and hubby and I are reading books now, and still undecided.  I don’t even feel like we are moving closer to a decision, and this is bothering me!!
• Thank you to everyone who took my poll, it was wonderful!  Although, it made me laugh because the results were that the thing people wanted me to write more about was marriage, but then the thing people most wanted me to STOP writing about was marriage.  So, this leads me to believe one of two things- 1) You didn’t understand the quiz or 2) you are all very split, and so I guess I’ll just do what I want, ha!

I decided to extend the giveaway until tonight, so if you haven’t had the chance to take the short poll (I think it’s 12 multiple choice questions like, are you male or female? It’s not hard people).  Then go ahead and do it!  Also, remember to comment telling me you have done the quiz!  I have way more quiz takers then I have comments!

Thanks for listening to my random.
