High 5's to Fat Albert

I havent felt the greatest today...I've gotten on Glucotrol for my blood sugars and the meds are giving me terrible headaches.

We rented FAT ALBERT for the kids tonight and i was VERY pleasantly surprised at a) how good it was and b) how well the kids liked it too. They've been a handful today and it didnt help that i havent felt well. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Hopefully, we're going into the gym tomorrow...Those kind of days are always good because the morning goes so quickly and the kids will get to burn off energy.

Back in the Saddle

I've fallen off the horse on the Ebay thing...i get out of the groove and dont do it like I should...so Sharon brought me some more stuff plus I have tons of kids things to sell, so i"m back at it today. Sold a couple of things on a Buy It now and that rejuvinated me.

We all went into the gym today and i was proud of us...we played 3 games (of which of course i lost) and then i did some walking on the treadmill. We have a treadmill i could use here at home, IF we could find room to put it!! We have it in storage right now.

The kids are napping right now...Should be up in another 20 minutes or so...this is my best time to get anything done during the day...i can slip in here and list an auction or two ocassionally...but not uninterupted time.

Weekend re-cap

Stayed in Friday night...the kids watched THE WILDERNESS FAMILY. I was surprised it kept the interest of all three kids. I'm always weary when I 'm the one who picks the movie..then Saturday it was rainy....so the kids played inside etc...and Dale & i unpacked kitchen stuff from the apartment. Then Amy kept the kids Saturday night and Dale and I had a date :) Went into Atlanta for KPOG. Then Sunday, Janice had a birthday party for John in their new swimming pool so we all went for that...luckily, the ex cancelled her visit. So, all in all, a good weekend.

Money is VERY tight these days...it renews my interest in building the ebay business. Sharon gave me a bunch of stuff to sell when i saw her Saturday night...so want to get that going. Plus, the CD's sell so well, would love to obtain more of those. Dale & i've decided to have the garage sale the second saturday in June...We're hoping it will net us enough to get the transmission fixed. Wish us luck.

our new grill from Target....hope Dale doesnt have a lot of trouble putting it together. 

The house after adding a few flowers...we have more updates coming 

still sick again

Went back to the doctor today...got more meds...He's very worried about the blood sugar levels..and I am too. Ordering a new glucometer tomorrow. Will start tracking it better and taking the meds. The kids were awesome according to Dale while i was in the doctor's office. I treated them to a toy out of the McDonald's bag.

Tonight, we drove into Target and got the grill we'd both been wanting. We were quite frugal too...payday isnt till tomorrow, so we packed dinner (fed them sandwiches & pretzels and a fudge round for dessert! Bad parents!!)

We're having a cookout this weekend with his family and it should be fun to do on the new grill. The kids LOVE cookouts so I'm glad that we're doing it. Wish we could set up tables outside to eat on...

still sick

I'm sooooooo tired of being sick. It seems like I've had this sinus infection/bronchitis forever. My ears are all blocked up and half the time i cant even hear! All this to say it's been hard working with the kids and playing with them when i dont feel worth 2c myself! Today, i was out playing ball with John...it hurt my head to bend over and pick up the ball! UGH.

Working with Elizabeth on writing her name in upper/lower letters....she's coming along pretty well i think.

Cinco de Mayo

ok..physically, i feel like crap...the sinus infection i've got is kicking my butt! My ears, my chest, the cough...all combine to put one foot of mine on a banana peel.

The kids have been pretty good today..we went into Commerce and got some groceries and a new microwave and got Elizabeth's hair cut. It looks cute and should hopefully stay out of her face now. John was up most of the night coughing but seems to be doing better today. More later.

another bad day...

i need to write on some of the good days...because to read this you would think i never had any. Oh well, today's not one of them...i'm not doing so well at this parenting thing! i lose my patience too much and i cant seem to keep a sense of humor. I get too sensitve at things they say...the INsensitivity of youth...ie..."i didnt want THAT picture of Barbie with someone else in the picture...i only wanted a coloring picture of Barbie ALONE!" i know i'm the adult..but not feeling like one today....need a pep talk i guess.
