The White Rabbit

I'm late I'm late, for a very important date. No time to say hello, goodbye! I'm late I'm late I'm late.





So, I am not technically late for anything, but I do feel like I have been rushing rushing rushing. And I feel all scattered, just like the White Rabbit is. You know, from Alice in Wonderland. I was off work for, what, like 10 days, and LOVED LOVED LOVED every minute of it, but didn't feel like I had any extra time. Cause, if you aren't working, you come up with a million other things that you want, need, should, could, oughta do. So, with all that being said....



I sure hope everyone had a great Christmas! Ours was wonderful! The kids make it amazing. Their faces, their excitement, their joy, just wonderful! Jarrod was the hardest to buy for this year - not into toys anymore, and he would not give us any ideas as to what he wanted. But, I think that Santa did a good job. Jayk had a list a mile long! Not even kidding! And Gryfinn and Caelyn were so very easy to buy for.



Oh, and our night away was great! I think what Jayk had was food poisoning so no germs spread. Caelyn did end up with an ear infection the Friday before we left, but she was feeling better by Sunday, or I think we would have taken her with us. We shopped, we had dinner, took dessert back to the room, ate that delicous oh so fattening chocolate cake with chocolate icing ad chocolate chips sprinkled on it right there in that super comfy king sized bed!! The room was actually more of a tiki hut. We had reserved a king spa room, but when we went to check in, they offered to upgrade us for a small fee, so Kel did, and we ended up having a private tiki hut with a huge spa tub and our own personal parking spot right in front. It was great! And the hut was decorated with like faux animal skins and heads and such - like it was from an African Safari or something. It was great! I missed the kids ever so much, but we had a great time, and I can't wait to have another night away! And not to mention that my Mom had a BLAST with the kids, and them with her! Although, Caelyn wasn't so happy with us when we got back. She wouldn't talk to us, wouldn't look at us. Until she fell and needed some loving, then she was all over me.

Gryfinn had strep again. We took him to the dr the day after Christmas. Christmas night the fever started and he just wasn't himself. In the middle of the night the fever started to spike, and when he woke up he just had that 'I have strep' look and act to him. Poor guy. But he is feeling so much better!

So today is New Years Eve. Out with the old and in with the new. I started my period, so I am saying that it is out with the bitchiness and in with the happiness!! We are going to my brothers and playing some cards. The kids love it there, and I am really looking forward to playing cards. I have not played since I was preggo with Gryfinn. So that has been 4 years. Geesh! So I am really looking forward to that!



I hope that all of you ring in the New Year surrounded by love and happiness and friendship. And that you get to kiss someone very special to you at midnight!

Please let it be food poisoning!!

Not that I ever want any of my kids to have been poisoned by something that they ate, but today, I am hoping that this what it is.

Jayk woke up at 4:30 am and got sick. He only got sick one more time, and that was at 6:30. He said his stomach hurts, but not in the 'I'm gonna get sick' kind of way. So I am hoping that it is just sore, ya know, cause he threw up violently.

I don't want it to be a stomach bug. Please, please, please don't let it be a stomach bug. We have plans. Kel and I have plans. To go away for a night. Just the two of us. Just us. We are going to dinner. And we are going shopping. And we are staying at a hotel. Just us. And I am SUPER excited about it. SUPER EXCITED! So, please, please, please don't let it be a bug. I don't want anyone else to get it. I don't want our plans to get ruined. I don't want anyone else sick. I don't want our plans to get ruined. Please let it just be food poisoning. PLEASE!! I really want to go away. I am looking forward to a night away. I am really looking forward to dinner. A hot dinner. Ate all at once , with no interruptions. With no spills, no spit out food, no whining, no complaining, while it is still hot!! I am so looking forward to getting away. Please, please, PLEASE don't let it be a bug!!!!

The Real Reason....

We put up window clings! They keep the kids busy for HOURS!! (well, not technically, but anything that keeps them busy for a few minutes at a time is GREAT!!)

Eli, Gryfinn and Caelyn rearranging, taking down,

and playing with the window clings

When It Rains...

It effin pours!

And that's all I have to say about that.

Does anyone have a beach house, you know, an ocean front beach house, on any beach, a secluded island would be nice, or a house on top of a mountain - that they would be willing to lend me for a bit? GOSH I could really use a vacation. And if you have the beach house or mountain top house, can I also borrow your private jet to fly us there?! lol Well, you can't blame a gal for asking, now can ya?

Below are pic's of our newest addition. We aren't positive, but think she's a girl. We aren't positive of a name yet either. Caelyn calls her PG (our other kitty is named PJ, it comes out PG) Gryfinn calls her kiTTen - with those T's being very pronounced, or he calls her KeKe. (he likes the Fresh Beat Band) And Jarrod is calling her Bells - short for Jingle Bells. She is super sweet! And is probably afraid for her life - cause Gryfinn and Caelyn won't leave her alone. Poor kiTTy!
