New activities

Today Kayleigh, Jacob and I stayed home on my day off.  The morning went really well.  Kayleigh decided she wasn't going to take a nap for anything!  That's when it was bad.  Oh well!  She still did pretty well.  We got out some paint (the paint that I bought for the Valentine's stuff that we never got to). She had so much fun with that!  She loves painting!  She's very artistic, not perfectionist like me.

Oh...my prof for this last class emailed me this "I will give it a read today and tomorrow.  Our goal was to have you finish and even if this is not your "best work" I know what you are a capable of and getting to this point is an outstanding accomplishment.

If anything is missing, Ill let you know right away so we can sort it out ." 

Can I tell you this is a sigh of relief.  I know that this wasn't my BEST work.  I think my Internship was my best work and I put all my strength, energy and effort into that project that I didn't have much left for this one.  Oh well...he's had me in more classes than not, so he apparently remembers me and knows what I'm capable of!  THANK GOD!!!  I can't wait for these grades though!! 

I.THINK. I'M.GONNA BE.SICK ;)

I just posted my last project for my graduate degree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SIGH!

Now what to do!??!!  lol...just joking!  I need a mental break! 

TOMORROW...day off with my babies!!!!!!!!!!  I can't wait to snuggle!!!  I hope they are good!  :)

Kayleigh...grabbed a packet from our supper casserole thing Steve was making.K-- "What's this?" ME "Stuff for supper" K "I want supper" M "Daddy's cooking it" K "Darn it!"  bahaha...what?!?! 

Jacob...SUPER SMILEY BOY!!!!!!!!!!  He's so darn cute :)  Waiting for him to roll over!  Ever since this last cold, I think his head got to heavy for him. He went backward...can't hardly hold his head up.  Trying to work harder with him on tummy time to regain what he lost.  Is that weird? 

ugh...now waiting for grades.  Posted my Internship on 1/30 and still don't have a grade!  Ugh...the suspense!

OFF TO BED!!!  Night all!!!

Too Funny!

Kayleigh and Jacob went to Grandma and Grandpa Peterson Sunday so that I could finish my paper (which all I have to do is reread it and edit where needed) and Steve could get some stuff done around the house. We went to pick them up and Grandpa gave Kayleigh some treats to bring home to Shadow. As Steve was buckling her into her carseat, with said treats gripped tightly in hand, Steve said "Don't accidentally eat Shadows treats."  Kayleigh went from a giggly little girl to a look of horror and "GROSS!!!!!!!!" statement.  We both couldn't stop the giggles now.  She was so serious!!

Then we got home and I said "I love you, Kayleigh!"  She replies with "Thanks! (nice break) Love you!"  *at least she has manners*

Back to work...after a sickness weekend for me!  Hopefully it won't be too bad today and I'll be awake enough to put those final touches on the paper and submit it and be done!!!

Made my day!!!

So Friday I stayed home sick...good thing, b/c I don't think I would have been out of the bathroom much, and I finally held down food at 8pm Friday night (nearly 24 hours!!).  UGH!

SO...I was checking emails and such. AND...my professor for my last paper (class) emailed me and said if I made my deadline of February 28th (which I WILL!!!) I will still graduate this YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!  Oh...so very excited! 

Saturday (today) I didn't get much done. Played/hung out with the kiddos!  Needed that!  Kayleigh needed that!  She was definitely a mommy's girl today!  I LOVED IT!!!  We hid her animals from her Little People Zoo and then found them (about 5 times I think!).

Jakey is getting so big!!  He's making a new grunting? noises where he purses his lips and sounds like a piggy!  It's kinda cute!

We all did a lot of napping today.  Which we ALL needed.  I think maybe...just maybe...the illness is leaving the house!  Oh please, illness, leave us alone!!!

PS...I gave up chocolate for lent...and already broke it on Wednesday (twice...EEKS), but been better ever since :) 

Birthday!

Happy Belated Birthday to my mom!!!  She is the best mom in the whole world!  Someone who never judges, not very critical, allows you to make mistakes, but doesn't sit there and say "I told you so!" She is always there for you. She is the nicest person in the whole wide world. I wish I was more like her!  I LOVE YOU!!!!  (We all do!!)  We hope you had a wonderful day!

Kayleigh made a play-doh birthday cake for you at daycare. And she put a "birthday hat" on Jacob (mind you...the hat was actually a peepee-teepee). Bahahaha!

Happy Birthday, MOM!!!!

Oh no!

Just as Kayleigh is starting to feel better. Jacob's cough is 100% better. Steve's starting to feel just a little bit better. 

I GET HIT...and HIT HARD!!!!!!!!!  It happened so fast. Feeling great at work yesterday. Came home, was sitting with Jacob and Kayleigh and I started to feel a little dizzy.  Getting a hot flash, clammy hands, generally yucky feeling. Went up to bed. Kayleigh was laying down with us trying to calm down for bedtime. Then....BAM!

I spent more time in the bathroom last night then I did in bed!  And...12 hours later, still feeling pretty crappy. Steve talked me into calling in sick. I hate doing that!!!  I'd rather use my time off for fun!  Just not trying to get something to stay in me.  YUCK!!!

1st Haircut

Yesterday when we were in Osceola, Mom finally cut Kayleigh's hair. Just a little trim. Maybe not even an inch. Just enough to get those snaggles off the bottom of her curls.

This morning she woke up and they are just soft big curls!  I love it!!!  No "Ouch, Mommy!  No more!" yells :)  (sounds just like me...ask anyone in my family or just look at some of the pictures).



PS...someday I'll be coordinated enough to post pictures with :)
