~Day 2• 150-151: Bathroom's full!!

Two posts today.  I was too tired yesterday to finish.  So here goes..

Yesterday I woke up to the two oldest playing the dance game on the Wii.  It was fun to watch them get into their moves.

Cailee started taking some medication yesterday, and it comes in pill form.  The kids were really great about rallying around her and encouraging her.  This was the first pill she has tried to swallow.  We tried water, chewed food, ice cream with chocolate syrup... nothing worked.  Nick finally found something that worked, and it was applesauce.  I was so proud of her!  I'm sure she will get enough practice to be able to take one with water.  But right now, we will invest in applesauce.  Good job, Beans!

I had an appointment in the morning, and after I went to Goodwill.  It was another 50% off day.  Cailee decided she wants a desk in her room like her big sister.  I was hoping to find another steal like I did for Brookie.  There was not a desk, but I did find two chairs I have been searching for.  Once for Brookie's desk and another for my sewing corner (whenever I get it set up).  I also found two games.. Apples to Apples was nearly new, and Sequence was brand new... paid a buck for Sequence!  I've wanted it for awhile.  The whole trip only cost me under $7.  Not bad.  

I had lunch with Jenn yesterday!  It's been a long time since I"ve seen her, so we had some catching up to do.  We started with lunch at Blue 32, then we ran some errands. It was so nice sitting and talking with her! I had to try getting a picture and we did that in her car.  My arms are so short that when I tried to get a good picture, my camera was blocked by the rear  mirror.  That's what the bottom right picture is... trying to be viewed through the mirror.  Poor short arms...

Before bed, the kids found me.  The heat had wiped me out, so I was laying down.  It started out with one kid snuggling me.  Then another came in... eventually all three were there.  They didn't stay quiet though.  We all got a little bit goofy.  Of course I had to pull out the camera to take some fun pics! 

The highlight was when Beans ran out of my room.  She needed to use the bathroom.  But she ran back in and said, "Bathroom's full!" and ran into my bathroom.  lol she sounded so cute! It made all of us bust up laughing.  I'm sure it was more funny to those of us in the room, but oh well.  We love our beans!

I also made the mistake of introducing a stupid saying I learned in school.  Rubbing someone elses head while saying, "my butt itches."  That was always a dumb insult and for some reason I thought about it.  Of course the kids had to go to it to daddy.  So Brookie got him...

Day 151:  The day was very relaxed, I think.  I was in bed for most of the day.  I was so exhausted from the heat yesterday.  But when I got up, the kids were being quiet.  Cailee was in the living room laid out on two chairs playing the xbox.  Brookie was having a tea party.  Cailee had one earlier, so she had to show me her set up.  And Ashton was content to read on his bed.

Closer to tonight, they all ended up playing the xbox together.  We have three office  chairs now, so they think they get to sit on them all the time... when the newness wears off, the chairs will stay where they belong, and not in the living room.

Tonight after our gourmet dinner of mac n' cheese and ramen noodles, (i had no energy to cook still) we played a short game of Apples to Apples.  It was fun!  I decided I need to be on the lookout for the Jr. version.  I think they would have more fun playing that.  They didn't know what some of the cards were.  It was still fun!

I need to mention that I had my great visiting teachers come over today.  Janece and Alyssa came for a visit and helped me out while they were here.  I was an emotional wreck when they came over.  I had let the MS get to me because I was laid up again.  I usually don't let the MS get to me, but today it did.  I actually broke down and cried.  They helped me fold some laundry and pick up my kitchen a bit.  What wonderful ladies!  They didn't care what the state of my person or my house was.  They were more concerned about what they could do to help me.  I love them dearly for it. So it was nice to have someone there to cry to and love me.   I know the MS will get worse as time goes on.  I need to accept that and deal with it better.  But I know I will still have days like today.  It's nice to know I have people in my life who are there for me when I need it.
