kids with grubby little fingers......

ok so anthony got really sick on like thursday. Nose running, eyes watering, coughing, sneezing. I thought it was allergies, but actually it was probably a cold. anyway, so as his whining and crying and crawling all over me continues all weekend, he ends up sticking his hands in my mouth, and giving me wet sloppy, snotty, drooly kisses all over my mouth. I immediatly freak out, because I do not want to get sick. And kept telling devon, dont put your fingers in your mouth when your around anthony. What do you guess, like Sunday, DEVON is all snotty and eyes watering, and everything gross. So of course he comes up to me, touching me with his grubby little hands, and sneezing and coughing on me. Sigh, so guess what happened, yep folks, thats right. I woke up all sneezy and nose running, and eyes watery, and can hardly breathe.
Sigh.
and Brent was gone all weekend, so of course I kiss him (closed mouth in case your wondering), but the kids are all sneezing all over him and etc. etc., and today at lunch he comes home and just lays on the couch.
crap.
I hate sick kids with grubby little hands. I seriously think of the lysol commercial where they show like green viruses crawling all over the little girls hands, and she touches the phone, and then her big brother picks up the phone and its all over the house. blah. germs. I just want to spray lysol all over the house..........hey.......thats actually not a bad idea.........I will be back! hehehehe

McDonalds Iced Coffee...and work

ok...so I am having an affair.......with McDonalds Iced Coffee. Seriously. I am so addicted. It tastes so good. It makes me feel so warm and fuzzy inside. And it gets my endorphines and seratonin going. yummy yummy. AND to top it all off.....I found a way to make it at home. FOR FREE! ahhhhhhh I am in love.

I am loving my part time job......I love the hours. I love the extra money. But man being away from my boys for that long of a time. I mean one shift is 13 hours long. Granted, it's over night. The boys are sleeping. But I am not there when they are put to bed. I am not there when they get up.....unless Devon sleeps in. It is so bittersweet. I am so excited and want to work my ASS off so we can get a new house by summer......actually I am even hoping by spring. Also, there is so much I want for my boys that only money can get. I have to help get that for them.
sigh......the life of a mother.

long time....

It has been a long time since I have posted. But it is not for lack of time or because I don't know what to write about. I do. It is just that sometimes the stuff I want to write about, is a little bit more personal, that I don't really want the world to share/hear. It is not a bad deal. But it does suck. Now I know everyone is dying to know. Sorry. I also hate it when bloggers do the same to me. There is just some things that need to be personal, and worked out at home.
But no worries. Everything will be fine!

But on the bright side, we are going camping tomorrow night! I work overnight tonight, so that leaves Brent in charge of packing. Which makes me nervous...I cant lie. But I am sure he will do great. I am trying to pack the major things and leave him just the food items. No doubt I will be tired and crabby tomorrow, but at least I cant be tired and crabby by the lake! woohoo!! gotta love that. I will update on that later. have a good weekend ya' all!

A post for my sister....

So my sister said to me today that I have been not nice to my husband on here lately. She even said that people are going to start thinking we are going to get a divorce...like my one cousin....but moving on off of that tangent!!!
I am very much in love with my husband. As yes, while it does seem like I complain about his short comings...a lot....it's because this is like a stress reliever for me. I go on here, type my tangents, about God knows what, and then I feel tons better. I dont have that built up "upsetness". I blew it off on here, and then when my husband does come home, I already blew off my steam, and I so excited and happy to see him, and not having to rag on him for what he didn't (or did!) do. So yes, I complain, but I love the things he does also very much.
I love how is always putting our family first, always.
He works his BUTT off for our family. I dont know a lot of people who work full time, part time, go to school for his master in managment (and getting a 3.6 I might add...), donates plasma, participates in sports, and then to be a good husband, dad, and friend. He goes out with co workers, he puts his boys to bed, he plays hockey with his son, he goes to movies with his gorgous, and oh so beautiful wife, he calls his side of the family daily, he attends family functions.....I could go on and on and on. I don't know how he juggles his life. I have to say I am spoiled. I pretty much say what I want, and Brent busts his ass for it. I said I wanted kids, he went to every single doctor appointment in Fargo with me. I said I wanted a house, he worked overtime to get us a down payment. I said I want to move to a bigger house, he is juggling our finances, picking up extra shifts, finishing up our projects on this house, and looking at houses already. Just for me. Just for us. He loves my family. He thinks they are a little kooky... (haha, I had to add that in there), but he is always going to Thief River with me for family events. Heck, he is willing to give up his blackberry for me. He even said that I need a phone like that because he doesnt and wouldnt use it (dont worry folks, I am not letting him). In short, my husband is worth more than I can say. And yes, I complain a lot. But, if you know brent, you all know he is a little disorganized and likes to leave things lay. But hey, I know he complains that I am a neat freak and needs to have everything put away, and it drives him nuts. haha. Thats a thought, Brent should have a blog, then you guys would REALLY get the full picture of our life. haha.
ok that is all I will say, or I will loose all my faithful readers to my cheese.
Hope your satisfied sister. We are as close to a divorce as maybe.....we are to the end of the Earth ;)

You want cheese with that whine? No...chocolate!

Whine, whine, whine...with some wine. I know I do that a lot. I started a new job. Pracs. Oh lovely pracs. I actually have to work now, and that makes me sad. No more just staying at home all the time. grr. I hate working. I hate going to work. I hate being the new girl at work who knows NOTHING. Whats worse, is that being the new girl who's husband has been there 6 years, and actually DOES know everything. Cause then I worry, what are people going to look at me as? Someone who also knows everything....or if I make a mistake...is it like oh that wife of Brent. grr on her. Oh I hate being trained. And the orientation that I need to do today. Like watch videos on stupid stuff and learn stupid things. ugh. I also super de duper hate working. ahhhhhhhhh. sigh. sniffle. cry. Well, I guess on the plus side, this means we can move sooner into a different house (YEAH! no more crappy water pressure), but then that means we need to finish our house projects and I need to pack the ENTIRE house. Because god knows when we bough this house, I packed and UNPACKED every single dang thing that was moved. Thats right folks. Brent didn't help an inch. But I guess he did move it all....so maybe that counts for something..........
And man, there is a lot to pack now!!! 3 levels worth and a garage worth of SHIT. ohhhhhhh. I hate packing. Maybe I will hire my sister to come and pack for me. She is always good like that.
Sometimes I feel realy bad because I am always after Devon for whining and pouting, and telling him to stop it, or a bird will poop on his lip. And here I sit, while he watches Veggie Tales, whining about everything. And now I am whining about my whining. Oh lord. help me now.
sigh..... ah well. At least I get to wear super cute scrubs when I work now! woohoo!
I need chocolate.
