We're Back...

We'll see how long it lasts. Okay so we left off in April. Lots happened to us. I started and ended a Pampered Chef business, found out we are expecting our third child (a boy by the way!) in December, we went on a couple mini-trips, Audi broke her anke, and Q. got potty trained. Not to mention the Mommy Moments!



Now it is August--and it is looking very busy. Pre-school is starting in couple weeks, i am doing alot of shopping for baby and cleaning out of baby girl stuff. I should be cleaning my house right now or watching the kids (they are being babysat by Barney the purple diny).


I'll go back to the top. In April i had a great Pampered Chef show and an opportunity to get a headstart on the business so i took it. A week later i found out i was pregnant. I then proceeded to become very ill. First i had the stomach flu then the morning sickness starting then i got this horrible RSV type cold that gave me a viral sinus and ear infection for three weeks.


I reckon that ear infection was so bad it probably left a teeny hearing loss. It was HORRIBLE! Everyday for ten days i would wake up and then the earache would start in the side of my face and ear and head and it was like having a migraine...very intense. So i just had to wait it out. I even took antibiotics but those did not help. My OB said many women are prone to these bad infections at the beginning of pregnancy.


Anyways, i was so sick with that and the morning sickness (it was so bad i had to take nausea medicine this time--never did with the girls even though i was sick with them too) that my business went down the tubes. I couldn't get my momentum back so i threw in the towel. Maybe another time it'll work out; Pampered Chef is a great company and the products are top quality, easy selling. Just about everyone has a kitchen. And I love to cook and eat. Most people like one or the other (or both), typically.


Well, I'll post a couple pics of the girls and in days to come i'll try to continue catching up on the summer. I guess i'll go ahead with a M.M. today too. Enjoy!





Why buy bracelets when you can use rubberbands?




MOMMY MOMENTS: The Toothpaste Fairy


The story goes like this--I was visiting with my neighbor one evening in my living room. We were discussing a project i was working on for her and then we got to talking about the kids and told her i never what Q. was going to be into next. My exact words were, "In fact, its kinda quiet in here. Q. is probably into something right now." So a few minutes later my neighbor left because it was bedtime. I go to the hall bathroom which is not ten feet from where i was chatting and this is what i discover; all over the sink, on the floor, and in Q.'s bed! Perhaps she was thinking that little dab she gets every time she brushes just isn't quite enough to get her teeth thoroughly clean. Or maybe she just likes that its blue, which reminds her of the fingerpaint they use at school so why not--the bathroom was too green anyways--and tasting like bubblegum is a bonus...right?
