we're all healthy! hooray!
it took forever but cade & reese are back in school today and elisha is heading back tomorrow. it's been 2 full weeks since she was in her little tues/thurs 3's class at preschool. i'm afraid we're going to have to go through the same separation anxiety that we went through with her in september.
truthfully, i was a little annoyed at the public school schedule. before halloween, my 2 kids missed a total of about 10 days of classroom time because of the flu, and then last week monday and tuesday were teacher workdays/conference days so no school. then on thursday i had to take everyone out of school to go to their dentist appointments i had scheduled 7 months ago. with a little forethought i could have just scheduled them for one of the teacher workdays, but no...i missed that by a few days.
speaking of dentists...my kids totally bombed their appointment. reese had to go through remedial tooth care 101 by the staff, her teeth were pretty funky. i expected this, she's been getting loose teeth and hates to wiggle them and thinks it hurts when she brushes them. i know, she's a wimp. cade did OK, no cavities, and his teeth weren't so bad. elisha, my BABY!, has a cavity. sigh. i blame it on the pushy neighbors that are always giving her treats, we're going t have to have a chat, just mom-to-mom. e will get that filled in january, at a cost of about $60 out of pocket!!
the dentist suggested that we get electric toothbrushes and that would encourage proper brushing. he slipped me some coupons and i went right out and bought a set. what i got was a single charger, 2 rechargable handles, and a total of 4 removable brushes. the brushes have a 2 minute timer to them, and what i like best is that they're really quite small heads on them so maybe they fit a little better inside kids' mouths than your typical toothbrush. i had purchased my own electric toothbrush this past spring and i LOVE it, rob has had his for 7 or 8 years now, so it made sense to try it out on the kids. so far so good, there have been no complaints from the oldest 2 and they have been brushing for the full two minutes.
the best part was the coupons. the package was $90, with a $10 instant coupon from the dentist, then a $15 mail-in rebate. (i have yet to pass up a mail-in rebate, i love those things! you mail them away and forget about it...6-8 weeks later you get a check in the mail! it's like free $$$!) anyway, a total of $65 for two electric brushes that seem to have a very long life (rob uses his twice a day, religiously) sounds like a great deal. cheaper than paying to have those cavities filled i guess.

just another day in the fight
good morning! i picked a new font, just to be a little crazy. why would i do something crazy, you ask? well...
we're going on day 5 of flu in the house, all 3 kids have had the bug. the germs attacked late friday night and they're still going strong around here. i wipe down all the doorknobs and light switches twice a day but looking at how often my kids put their fingers in their noses, there was no way i could win.
both girls are back to health, although that cough really lingers on, but cade is at home with me on sick day #2. his fever just does not want to go down and he was so restless last night, meaning i feel like i'm hungover this morning. a neighbor gave us some children's tylenol so we're going to piggyback the motrin and tylenol so this boy can get some rest.
i kind of annoyed at all the stuff we've had to miss out on since there seems to be at least one person in the house feeling sick or feverish.
we've been quite lucky to not have any complications pop up though. the kids haven't needed any doctor appointments or prescriptions. it wasn't as easy as it could have been, rob escaped ALL of it by jetting off to seattle for work. he comes home tonight and i think i might start a pool...hourly increments for sale, guessing when rob will start running a fever???
my mom & i have had an interesting discussion over the last few days. i was born in february 1976 and in central iowa at that time there was a flu going around, then it was claimed to be the swine flu. during our hospital stay, my mom started to show flu symptoms and although i don't think she felt all that bad, she still had to wear a hospital mask when she was around me. i was a breastfed baby and now i'm wondering if any immunities were passed along to me. with this flu being as potent as the media says it is, i just don't know how i haven't gotten sick along with the kids. i have a sore throat though, so i guess it could turn worse. i promise i won't come and infect you all if i do show flu-like symptoms. that would be a true computer virus, then, ha!

- reese was to have attended a girl scout campout over the weekend
- 2 days of preschool (about $30 worth there)
- 5 days of school, which might increase since cade is not bouncing back as fast as his older sister
- a 30-minute tap dance class, $10

it's enough to drive you crazy.
domesticity sucks.
i want a tidy house that doesn't smell bad. no one else in this family gives a shit what the house looks or smells like, so i wipe and wash and repeat the same tasks over and over so i can work toward my utopia...a clean and clean-smelling home.
my husband KNOWS that when the mess gets too deep and too smelly that i'm going to start snipping at him...could he get rid of some of the mess by putting away his 3 pairs of shoes on the front door rug? could he take some recycling over to the bin in the garage a few feet away? take the 3 year olds pee-filled undies & pants down to the laundry room to soak? scrub a toilet? could he do anything AT ALL to help have a cleaner living space?
we all know the answer to that, otherwise i would not be here venting my frustrations about my messy stinky house.
school started 2 days ago, but i could use a vacation already. or a house cleaning service! oooh, baby! wouldn't that be grand???
we couldn't afford activities for the kids (tap & karate), but i would get my clean house every week. wonder if that would make the kids and husband realize how frustrated i get that i get dumped on when it comes to housework. i've tried chore charts but really that just makes more work for me, hassling the kids into their chores and listening to the whining at bedtime that they didn't "have enough time" to finish everything (yeah, but you had enough time to dump every lego in the house into a pile in the middle of the toy room).
i might have to give this serious thought over the next few days. i'm headed to bed here shortly, my power cleaning has left me a little tired.

an odd year
all our children were born during even years (2002, 2004, and 2006). it's kind of handy to think that if the year is an even year, then the kids will all have even birthdays that year. on the flip side of that, since it's 2009, all 3 children will turn an odd number this year.
yesterday my "baby" turned 3 and hers is the last of the kids' birthdays for the year. as happy as i am to see her grow up healthy and strong and to see her own personality, i get a little shock to my heart when i realize that she is the last.
that the crib won't hold any more of *my* babies.
that i won't have to hang onto those toddler clothes, just in case we can use them again for a younger sibling.
that from here on out, they're all just going to get bigger and heavier and with sharper elbows and knees jabbing me in the tummy and boobs as they try to squeeze onto my lap.
i can see so many changes in all of them over the last year. i'm thinking i never noticed them in my oldest child as she was growing because i was always busy with her younger siblings. so while i'm missing having a cuddly baby, i am relieved.
relieved that all 3 of them can trail after me in the store and i'm not having to carry anyone.
relieved they can pretty much feed themselves.
relieved that everyone is sleeping through the night (and has been for almost the last 2 years).
relieved that we're almost diaper free. (a certain little boy still wears pullups to bed and i don't see that ending anytime soon, unfortunately).
i'm excited to start doing more things as a family, things that aren't baby-friendly...like camping. going to the pool. short hikes in the great outdoors. playgrounds!!
i'm almost a little sad that school will be starting next week, i suddenly want to make plans and show the kids everything i can about this great big world. to see a little bit of wonder on my 7 year old's face, to challenge them a little...
but school is starting in 7 days, so we'll make weekend plans here & there and hope we can squeeze in some fun. just because school is starting doesn't mean the fun has to end...that's a new perspective for me this year. i hope it makes me enjoy these next 10 months a little bit more. last year was long and tedious...and long. did i mention long??
anyway, what i meant to do on this post (before i got all emotional) was to share some pictures of my baby, who's not such a baby anymore.
this is elisha holding up her card from grandma & grandpa. she thought it was pretty cool, getting to open her own mail!
the birthday cake.
i was suprised i got it all done. we got home from the store at 3pm and baking commenced then. it was all decorated, ready to go by 7:30. elisha kept on saying how she wanted a peanut cake and although i would have loved to shape a peanut out of 2 round cake pans, i just didn't want to try it. i really didn't think it would work and frosting it would have been a disaster. so i used a peanut butter cake with peanut butter frosting. as i was frosting it, i realized it was going to like a big pile of brown frosting, so i threw in the orange to give it a little zing. everyone was happy. and it was cheaper and yummier than a storebought cake.
so, now that the kids' birthdays are done for 2009, only 115 days til christmas!

messy houses anonymous
or at least as anonymous as the internet is these days...
amy requested messy house pictures. these are just a few of our house, there could have been TONS more. i didn't include pictures of rob's "man room", which really could be a post all it's own. (in fact i don't even go in there anymore, his mess frustrates me more than any other mess in the house...it's so full of random memoriabilia and pennies in ziploc bags and piled investment statements that i just cannot handle it. the messes in the rest of the house can easily be classified into laundry, dirty dishes, dusting, vacuuming, picking up, etc. but his room just has too many open-ended categories.)
we begin in the dining room...this picture just looks like it's a big wall with a computer...there's a dining table and 6 chairs. 2 of the chairs have been kidnapped for the computer and the others never get pushed in. the room isn't big enough to show the mess in just one photo so i'll have to maneuver to get the whole messy thing.
above is the stash of booze (for me) and packables for the kids' lunches when school starts. they've been sitting there for 6 weeks. school doesn't start for another 7 days.
a box of school supplies...and the birthday party extras from reese's birthday party back in mid-june. what the hell do i do with a box full of tea hats and fake flowers?!?
this is why there's 2 chairs to the computer...one for me, one for my sidekick. this table was cleared for about the first week i got the computer, now it's a catch all. to the right is a stack of papers to file, to the left is my cereal bowl, phone, a stack of empty steno pads...right in front, my beloved coffee cup. and did you know, habits are hard to break?
moving on...the kitchen.
clutter clutter clutter. my idea with cade's sight words might not have been the brightest. those post it notes are driving me crazy. above the cupboards we have what i like to call "sarah's club shopping addiction." i buy big boxes of food but have limited storage space. sigh.
this is the living room. a carseat whose cover is still waiting to be washed (yes the toddler is properly secured in a different carseat in the van)...the collapsible dog kennel which is made to be stored away but the dog loves it too much to put it away...the beach towels on the red recliner...the BACKPACKS that seem to follow my husband home but are not allowed to be put on the floor...ugh.
the basement/playroom. i refuse to call this the playroom but i have to call it something so the kids know what i'm yelling about when the mess gets too deep in here. it's not so bad today...out of focus, but i've seen it lots worse.
moving back upstairs, our bedroom.
oh my.
i'm not sure when this room will recover. i do my best to make my bed at some point during the day, doing anything beyond that is 'extra' in my book. at the foot of the bed we have a twin size box spring from moving the girl's beds around last week. the blue beach bag of swimsuits (remember the beach towels from the living room? they're waiting to come home to the bag after they get washed, dried and carried all the way upstairs)...the bag of crib sheets and mattress pads...ugh.
master bedroom continued...dirty clothes, hamper of dirty clothes, rubbermaid container of blankets, crib mattress. i don't even know where to start. well, actually i do. i need to start with laundry, i heard reese saying she was wearing her last pair of underwear today.
this is reese's room. and yes, she made her bed today! yay! the rest is a disaster but the bed is made as good as she can make it. she's 7. i may put her to work on my bed.
this is cade's room. i should have gotten a better angle of the top of his dresser. it's full of lego creations that he refuses to break apart. add in the comforter wadded up in the corner (there was a pee accident that happened a month ago and it *might* have gotten contaminated, i should wash it to be on the safe side but i just haven't yet), the pink waterwing (???), and the assorted trucks i told him to pick up 3 days ago.
all the time that i spent snapping and posting these pictures, i bet i could have picked up quite a bit of the mess. my sudden devotion to this lonely little blog is astounding, but i'll do anything to avoid housework.

just peachy, thanks
i'm showered, dressed, make-up'ed and blown out...and i have been since 8am. the girls had their beds delivered today from a furniture store and lucky me, the delivery window was from 8am-10am. so at 8:05 while i'm chowing on my kashi cereal, guess who comes knocking on our front door?
the beds were set up by 8:30 so i do have to give the guys kudos for a quick set up. their rooms are all set up and ready for bedtime tonight.
since i got a jump on the morning by showering so early, i even added some perfume to my routine. (hey, i'll be heading out to sam's club and target later today, i might as well smell purty!) my neighbor is an avon lady and i had ordered a new perfume called 'chic in white.' my avon lady, being from afghanistan and maybe not aware of how english has borrowed a lot of words from the french, pronounces this perfume as "chick in white." if you say it fast enough it sounds like "chicken white." it doesn't really smell like chicken though...after wearing it for a bit now, it reminds me a lot of peach schnapps...which makes me want a fuzzy navel...which makes me realize i have no clue even where to buy hard liquor around here. beer & wine are everywhere but i have yet to see the rough stuff for sale. it's probably better for me, i might try to make mojitos or appletinis or something else equally yummy and calorie-licious.
rob hasn't smelled it yet, so i don't have a male's opinion on this scent. so far i'll give it 4 stars out of 5. ok, maybe 4.5 stars b/c my neighbor threw in a bunch of free samples with my order and that always cheers me up. so before we head out to run errands, i'll get to pick out a lipstick sampler. i tried one the other night and damnit, i really liked it. samples really are a good way to hook you. i think sam's club has known that for a while though, my kids are always hoping for snacks when we go there.

blogger envy
i love the internet.
possibly more than my children. yes, maybe so.
********************************************************
yesterday i saw my husband had commented on one of his friends' pictures on facebook. the picture was of a homemade apron that the woman had just sewn and when i saw it, i immediately thought 'i want one too!'
so i googled the style of apron and i fell in love with it even more. from there i posted my apron-related links and musings on a mommy message board. suprisingly, another mommy posted back that she had just made herself a new apron and gave me MORE links to homemade aprons.
one of those links was to lucy who makes some super neat stuff (including aprons!) and the best part? she has music on her website and her playlist really is awesome. i'm always looking for something new and varied when it comes to music. and lucy doesn't play commercials in her music lineup, definitely a plus :)
i've left that window open for the last 2 days and that's what i've been listening to whenever i'm at the computer. i have a list of about a dozen songs from her playlist that i may add to my itunes. i bookmarked her site, not only for her apron-making abilities but b/c her music choices ROCK!
you won't get that classy treatment around this blog. no sir. instead you get one post in 2 months and some teeny font that makes you squint at the monitor. not to mention the sea green background that looks a bit institutional.
***EDIT***
i've got music now! woohoo! so there's still tiny print and that lovely green background but be patient. just adding music took me at least 2 hours of ignoring the kids, maybe i'll save the background editing for the first day of school!! :) so even though i have music up now, i'll probably still listen to lucy's playlist. i highly recommend it!
