Another day is almost over

You know it's bad when you don't have a clue what day of the week it is!!

I had no idea it was already Thursday, it feels like Monday to me.

Ryan's home and in a great mood. I got lots of stuff taken care of today. I'm listening to old Christmas music right now, don't ask me why because I'm sure I don't have a reason to justify it.

Tomorrow I have to go pay the electric bill, I hate having to do that because it's right in town and at the time I can go it's usually really busy and nowhere to park. That means Kaleigh and I will be walking for a few blocks just to drop it off.

I found a great christmas tree at Home Depot. I just have to figure out how to get it home after we buy it. It's so much better than the tree we have right now and it's really big!

And now I'm babbling, I'll write more later

Drama! Finally...

I skipped the 2pm update because we had some drama!

Baby Kahn and Derby (the boy cats) were fighting but this time was different. There was hair going everywhere, hissing and howling and claws actually puncturing skin.

They are ok, I'm not sure what started it but they are fine now. Poor Derby, he already gets beat up every day by Sasha and now Baby Kahn tried to kill him.

Kaleigh napped until about 1pm and then she watched her Dora movie. Ryan's been home about a hour and he's working on his homework.

I'll write more later but I wanted to add...My Gadberry book is now 500+ pages! Thanks to Cousin Ron and his wife Yvonne who helped with 350+ pages of it.

Great afternoon...

Ryan came home from school and he's been in a great mood!

The first thing he did was kneel down on the floor and hold his arms out and say "where's my Kaleigh??" and she went running over to him and they hugged. It was so cute.

So sadly, I have no real drama to talk about right now. This is a pretty boring post :)

I'm about to start making dinner, we are having macaroni & cheese and some zucchini and squash on the side. YUM!

Sunday, a day of rest and...

Stress!

Yesterday I didn't post anything because I was trying to relax. This worked part of the morning until I realized I could go to some yard sales and get winter clothes for Kaleigh and Ryan. This triggered a chain reaction, that lead to doing something else and that lead to something else and it was non-stop all day.

We decided to ditch our salesman at Henna and go with Kyle at Covert and start over. He can get any car we want on his lot for only $200 extra dollars so we are going to see if he can get the car we want from Henna.

Today I mowed the backyard. I know, I said I couldn't do it because of the antibiotics BUT it was cloudy and cool this morning so I mowed. Now that's done and I don't have to worry about it for a couple weeks.

Ryan is about to leave to go do some youth activities at the church down the street. While he's gone, Kaleigh and I will go out and play probably.

I'll be posting some video and pictures probably tomorrow.

I'll write more later

And then the drama starts...

Ryan comes home and the drama starts.

We apparently aren't getting a new car this weekend because mom doesn't want to have to do anything to get the deal done. I don't think I'm being unreasonable by asking her to make one phone call and sign the papers while I did all the work to get it to the price she wanted. Oh well, I did what I could and it will just have to be her problem.

I'll write more later

Frustration and angry eyes

I don't know why but I've done all this work to get my mom an awesome deal on a new car and now she doesn't even want to call the salesperson and go over the final details!! What is that all about??

Well that explains the frustration but the angry eyes are coming from my left. Ryan is sitting there staring at me and he doesn't look too happy. Maybe he didn't like what I fixed for dinner.

I will write more later

My hair is washed...

and I'm almost finished getting ready to go to the store and get some groceries.

Things have remained fairly calm. Ryan and Kaleigh used a brown paper bag and a piece of paper to make me a "fish bowl". It's cute, I'll take a picture and share it tonight.

Ryan's fish that he got for his birthday, Betta Betta St. Clair, went to fishy heaven about a week ago. I suppose this is part of the healing process.

Kaleigh's still not feeling good. She still has a runny nose and she lost all the color in her face. I hate to see her get sick again but like I said before, it's just that time of year.

We are looking for a ride for Ryan tomorrow morning. The headlights on the car don't work and we have to leave here by 7:25 to get him to school on time. Because of the cloudy sky and the fog, it's too dark at that time to get him to school. Hopefully we can find a ride and HOPEFULLY this car drama will be over soon. I keep crossing my fingers that I'll wake up in the morning and look in the driveway and see a brand new car with a big red bow on it (you know like in the commericals) but each morning I'm slapped in the face with reality.

I'll write more tonight, I have to finish trying to look "presentable". Apparently there is a dress code that all the women in this town live by when it comes to going grocery shopping between 4pm and 6pm. Sure I could have gone this morning when the elderly shop at our HEB but I still wasn't feeling that great and because Ryan was sick I couldn't have gone anyway.

The calm before the storm...

It is now almost 4pm, Ryan has been home but has yet to start his homework. However, he has been helpful with cleaning the house.

There has only been one fight between Kaleigh and Ryan, so far. Oddly enough it was a fight over who was going to bring me the broom. I guess there are worst things children can fight about.

Oh and for those that are wondering, Ryan's head is healing nicely. The glue came off on Sunday and it looks great. I will get a picture of him and post it for you all tomorrow.

The kids wanted to watch Dora so they are sitting down, watching the movie and being QUIET!! I live for easy days like this.

The dishwasher is loaded and running, the "community" rooms are clean and I am trying to decide if I should go grocery shopping today or tomorrow. I'm having trouble with a tooth but it's not as bad today as it was yesterday. Do I chance it and go today or do I wait until I'm out of tylenol in the morning to go. Hmmm decisions decisions.

The cats are all looking at me. All six eyes are screaming "FEED ME!". They will have to wait a little longer though.

My mom will be home in about 15 minutes. The house should fall apart shortly after that. When she gets home, everyone goes crazy. The cats start knocking things down, the kids get all worked up and run around screaming. That is when the fun begins.

I will write more later.
