Sunday / Monday / Tuesday

Sunday: a day filled with just hanging out at home and running around trying to get Jordan all her goods to take to Florida with her. We had John's mom over for dinner and had a nice family time. The girls haven't seen her for over month since she was California with the other family members. They missed her deeply since she would come over and watch them on Monday. They all three sat together, read books and just talked. I love seeing the little ones with her. they love her so much.
Monday: I started off ripping more wallpaper down in the bathroom, and after 2 hours of that I could tell the girls needed to get out of the house, so with the weather not being all that warm I decided to take them to the mall and let them play in the play area that they have. They were so excited and had so much fun. Since they were so good, I took them down to get a cookie and some lemonaid. After the mall we came home and all took naps. Carly had dance so I decided to take Reese with me so again she could get out of the house. I sat and had some really nice talks with a group of the other moms. Monday's are a little crazy with dance, so we always have something quick for dinner, everyone sat down and had fun talks and goofed off for awhile. After showers and books we sat down as a family and watched "dancing with the stars". All and all it was a good fun day.
Tuesday: Today, I have been doing nothing but tearing down the rest of the wallpaper. Took the kids to the sitter so they could play with all the other kids, and I could get this wallpaper thing done. My baby brother brought over a steamer and that was a life savor, because I was using a gel and razor blade and it was taking me forever since there was three layers of it. I finally got it done early this afternoon. The walls are really a mess, but I sanded them down and Andy is hopefully going to come over this weekend and help me texture it. John and I need to go and find a new vanity and double sink. I am very excited with this project. I just hope it turns out they way it is in my head.
After being a week late, the tree guy finally showed up this afternoon to take the horrible tree I have in the middle of my backyard. Now we can finally get the yard in order and have a play area for the girls that won't have me worried.
So far, I feel pretty productive and happy about how this week is turning out. How did I get so lucky.

Long time coming

wow, sure has been a long time since I got on here to write my random thoughts. So my new goal is to start writing everyday or at least try and hope that I get some more followers.
Today I am going to start with these headaches I keep getting. I just don't understand where they are coming from. The morning and afternoon are good, but come evening the pain starts and by bedtime they are so bad I lock myself in my bedroom where there is no light and no noise. I have been taking some major pain killers, but that is not helping. I seriously think something is really wrong. The problem is since I have been laid-off I have no health insurance so I can't really call the doctor to have him help me. I need to get this taken care of before it gets anymore out of hand.
