So I am an official tester for Mary over at Owlhaven. She is a mother of 10 that is working on a book that will be meals on a budget. I cannot share the recipe with you But I can tell you that it got the Girlies thumb of approval.

She loved it so much she ate THREE OF THEM!!!!!!

and she garded them with her life. there was no getting those from her…. so…..

 I had to make more for the boys to try. Dfly loved them were Tfly thought they were gross…. Ifly now he ate 3 of them too. and giggeled all the way……

Thank you Mafy for letting us test it out. looking forward to the next one.

you can tell when her fever spikes. she doesnt talk. and that is a miricle. she is much like her momma in that. But right now she is finding what wall she wants to drive me up. I am thinking I might NOT give her the next round of meds. maybe it will keep her quiet. (YES I am kidding)

ANY WAY The best part of waking up to a child puking. well I am not sure it is the best part …. if there had beena video camera on me int he middle of the night and I would have gotten it for 25,000$ on Funniest home videos, THAN it would be the BEST PART! Other than that…. it was the funniest now that I look back.

0100 My girlie walks into the room. mind you the dog had woken me up but I was ignoring her. I didnt think anyone was awake. the girl goes…. “MOM….URP” hold it…..”I thought I heard you” okay not really but I wanted her to hold that puke as I ran her into the bathroom. I really didnt want to have to clean my bedding too. I already knew in my heart I was going to have to do hers …. she is in a platform bed…. so Lord only knew what I was going to be faced with when I got in there.

So BABY INTO THE TUB…. water running over a sick baby. okay might not be how you deal with it. But it is for me. I always love a shower after or while I am puking. so in she went. I went to look at the damage. I opened her door stepped in and no sooner had I gotten into the room than I was on the floor. YUP SLIPPED AND FELL INTO IT!!!!!!!!!!!! yes IT! the PUKE…. all in my toes and on my clothes and OMG…. IT IS ONE ME!!!!!!!!!!! so I got cleaned up, got my stuff into the wash than looked at the bed. OH YEAH! it was there too. get all the stuff off the bed. put on the new bedding. Get the couch ready for her because I am NOT GOING to climb up that bed again and clean it again tonight. Get the rest of the blankets washed out and ready for the washer. and than go to asses damage with the baby girl.

She looks out and with tears in her eyes. ” Mom do I have ANY BLANKETS LEFT?”

” Of course you do. they are just not yours. I have everything ready for you. all we need to do is wash you off the rest of the way and get you on the couch.”

30 min. latter she is urping again. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so we do this for the majority of the night. untill I am able to get her to hold down the pepto and the advil. after that she was asleep. although by than it was 0500 time for me to get up anyway.

Get the kids lunches made get the older one up, rather just make sure he listens to his alarm and gets up. than I started to thinka bout gettimg myself tot he gym. I am up have to be there anyway….s ow hy not work out.

CAN’T FIND THE KEYS! SHESH what is up with that. not like mom can’t let  me into the locker but not in enought iem to get upstairs and it doesnt help witht he car issue. no keys for that either. ARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGG……… So I find hubbies keys (FINNALY) and I make it there with only 1 min. to spare to get in the pool. But at least I made it.

Now I am dragging….. and she is BOUNCING OFF THE WALLS!!!!!!!!!

Of course.t hat is always how it works. you keep them home so they can find which wall they would like to esscort you up.

I know. I never write. Right?

DO you know how hard it is to think of things to tell you. it is silly I was standing with my mom the other day. telling her all sorts of corney stuff that my kids had done that week. I said.

” you know i should write about this stuff.”

“hmmmm…. yup.”

and than I came home all ready to write after we had giggeled to the breaking point. Okay that was me really. But anyway.. I was gonna write all about it. and realized.

What in tarnation WAS I laughing about?

So at that moment I realized. that is why I don’t write more. I get here and stare at the all mighty blank page and can come up with nothing to say. LOL. So here is the only funny I can come up with for the day.

This lady has a headache and goes on the bus to get to the store to buy some asprin.

well once she gets to the pharmacy she buys it and heads quickly back out to the bus to go home. while she is sitting down she opens up her bottel and teh bus driver SLAMS ON THE BREAKS!!!!!

*in a southern drawl* the woman screams “MY ASS BURNS! MY ASS BURNS!”

the driver looks up and screams back.

“well stick it out the window lady!”

Thank you Aunt M. for this joke it is something that everytime I need to smile the kids bring it up. and well. it works. they have figured out how to make your souther drawl and that alone is enought o make me smile.
