Rainy Day Randomness

How about some randomness on this rainy day?

It has rained for 14 days straight (with a few breaks in the storm)
Twice this week our pool has almost overflowed.

Luckily, Kevin rigged up a hose to siphon the water out of our pool to prevent it from overflowing.

This morning both girls slept in until 9:00!!!!!!
This lazy & rainy Saturday morning calls for hot coffee & cinnamon rolls. And cartoons.

We have NO plans this weekend.
I love weekends like this, especially after a busy week.
And, I have fresh daffodils in my kitchen...got them on sale for a $1.50. Boo-yah!

Look what I got at my happy place (Target) earlier this week:

A coffee table/storage ottoman. We didn't have anything there before, and this is perfect.
Look, it even opens up to store our blankets:

I also got a new vacuum cleaner. My old vacuum cleaner was working great, except the cord was really tangled. You see, I have a bad habit of NOT wrapping the cord back up. Well, the cord was so twisted that it started SPARKING & SMOKING when I was vacuuming the other day....needless to say, it was time for a new vacuum. And, I got this ONE because you push a button & the cord retracts back for you. Genius. It was made for losers like me!

Yesterday, there was a break in the storm & it stopped raining for a few hours so the girls and I played outside to take advantage of the sun. Kate wanted to water all the plants since we haven't watered them in a while (yeah, because it has been raining for 2 weeks straight!)

Check out Claire's crib. She is a hoarder & pack rat. She insists on sleeping with ALL of these blankets, dolls & books in her crib. She freaks if we try and take some out. I don't know how she is comfortable sleeping with all this stuff in her crib.

Speaking of Claire, this girl is giving us a run for our money. We are in the terrible 2's big time.
We have seen A LOT of this on a daily basis. Lord, give me strength & wisdom to parent this child!

Guess what is one week from today?!?! My sister's wedding! I am stalking weather.com & making sure there will be no rain on her wedding day. Kevin tells me I am banned from checking it because I check it every few hours!

Here is the 7 day forecast:

I will be hitting up the tanning booth today...my pasty white legs need a little color before the wedding.

Yes, I know tanning beds are bad, but you would be scared if you saw my white legs!

All of this is clean laundry, but not folded.

Guess what I will be doing today?
Folding it & putting it away. It has been sitting there for a week!
Happy Saturday to you!

Tuesday Randomness A Winner

It's Tuesday & I'm feeling random.

Actually, I am feeling better.

I had a fever all weekend.

I even had it yesterday, but I still went to school because I have no more sick days this year (I used them all for my maternity leave).

But, honestly, it is such a pain getting a sub, I would have had to go in and make lesson plans anyways, so it's just easier to suffer through the school day & teach even when you don't feel good.

I went to bed Sunday night & had the chills and hot fever flashes.

When I woke up Monday morning, I still had the chills, so I took the hottest shower ever (which isn't good when you have a fever, but I was so cold, but hot at the same time)

When I got to school, my body was mad. During 1st period, my fever finally broke, I was sweating profusely. I had the door to my classroom open so that the cold winter air would cool off my classroom. I was a hot mess. My students were freezing. Good times. Ha!

The good news is my fever is gone, but my cough & sinus pressure is still here.

He has been sleeping 8-10 hours a NIGHT. Without waking up!!!

The girls were HORRIBLE sleepers. Didn't do that until 10 months (Claire) and 11 months (Kate).

The only thing I have done differently? Stopped stressing about it.

With the girls I was DETERMINED to get them on a schedule, blah, blah, blah.

I read every sleep book known to man with the girls.

With Luke, I was trying to get him on a schedule at 4 months because he was on track to be a horrible sleeper (in fact he was worse than the girls at that age)

Finally, I just decided to give up on the schedule, he is the 3rd kid, we are on the go more, he isn't going to have a schedule, I am not going to worry about it, he probably won't sleep through until he is 10/11 months old, etc, etc, etc.

And, then...the craziest thing happened. He figured it out on his own & started sleeping through every night and has been doing this for almost a month.

PRAISE THE LORD.
