The start of this blog/ all about my Valentine's Day

OK so starting a blog is something I've wanted to do in like a really long time.

I love reading other blogs and well, at times wonder if I'm addicted. But then i think,, well, no of course not!! It's my chance(as a stay at home mom) to see a little bit of the outside world. 

So here we go. 

My first post.

On my very first blog.

And then i say ? 

What to write?

Well, maybe i'll start out by telling you about Valentine's Day 2011. (yes, i know that is today)

I awake around the early hour of 7 AM (i kinda got into sleeping in lately). Very groggy.. i got a cold. blah.

I sort the mounds and mounds of laundry. 

5 minutes later the 3 and a half yr old comes out of his room demanding Apple tea (apple juice) and food immediately!!! ( i tell him he has to lay down on the couch cuz it is too early)

He tells me that " it IS a beautiful day mommy!" 

I proceed to get him his apple tea. And somehow.. I.. Yes ME. spills the whole thing,, all over my cozy jammies. all around and under the fridge. yuck. 

I take off my pants and mutter under my breath.

The 3 and a half yr. old tells me i need to go put some other pants on. 

Five minutes later the 15 month enters the scene. 

She is a grump. I don't blame her though, cuz she's feeling down right yuck too.

All will be better soon because my coffee is almost ready!!!! :)

Ah coffee yum... wait? why does this taste minty?? Ugh, i somehow poured it into my partialy filled cup of leftover mint tea from the night before..... 

Oh Well..

It's high time to get everyone dressed and out the door. 

9 AM we are out the door. 

Thank-you God for Grandma's who will take 3 yr old when mommy needs a break.

Brooklyn stays with me and we zoom to the Dr's.

Another double ear infection. 

This is the year of paying out the wazoo for sick Dr. visits

The Dr. says its time to see an ENT for tubes for her.

There goes more $$$.

Anyhow after the dr. visit Brooklyn and i have an enjoyable time shopping......

Hmmm, well enjoyable except for the part where she fit under the fitting room door and took off while i was in the process of trying on an article of clothing. So i dashed out after her(fully dressed:)) and then of course locked myself out of the changing room and had to ask to get back in.. 

And with shopping there goes more $$$$, but for fun stuff this time:)

We zoom home and do more laundry, etc.

Then go pick up big brother. 

Who of course, as soon as we enter our home, is wondering.."where are we going tonight?"

I say- No where my dear.

Then little girl takes a nap.

Little boy plays with a big empty box, which is his home, boat, etc. And then watches a movie.

Then we eat supper. Left over pizza and sparkling grape juice. And peas. Can't forget them. How can we. There are like millions of them scattered all over the floor as i speak thanks to little girl. 

Then I give medicine.

Give a few spankings. 

Settle fights.

Give baths. 

All the while I'm feeling..

hot

then cold. 

then hot.

Then blowing my nose again and again. 

Why didn't i get the 25 boxes of tissues deal the other week at CVS???

PaPa and Grandma Wengerd stop in with some yummy choc. covered nuts and a lil visit. 

Ahhh bedtime for the kiddos.. I am excited! 

Was going to make flowers(my newest hobby)

Or jog for awhile(my second newest hobby)

But then i thought ... I feel too yuck.. I'm just going to read. 

But the book i was going to read is too scary.

And i don't want to read scary..

FOR i am HOME ALONE!!

Dear hubby is away working.. delivering many barns. And needed to stay overnight to get them all out in a timely manner. 

And it just so happened to be Valentine's Day. 

But its alright we will celebrate later and totally make up for it all!!!:)

I think i shall just go to bed. For tomorrow starts out exciting. 

Or not. 

Taking my 3 year old to get a cleaning done at the dentist. 

I dread such things. 

After tomorrow i think my week is going to be just grand!!!!!:)

So that was my Valentine's day! How was yours?
I'm so blessed beyond measure. 
So many people around who love me and so many people to love.
