Tuesday Things

We are home from playgroup and the kids have had lunch. It was such a struggle to make it to playgroup this morning. Zachary and I were arguing and arguing and having a huge power struggle. Finally he did what I asked but that was after 15 minutes of arguing. I made the kids come home and clean their room and eat lunch before they could play and of course they were not happy with this.

Audrey is finally feelling better. She is slowly starting to eat again and hasn't thrown up since yesterday. I have so much laundry to do, lots of bedding from Audrey being sick. I don't know if I will ever catch up and it's kind of depressing.

Randy's mom is coming Thursday for some tennis thing and she is staying here for I don't know how long. I've got to clean up the spare room for her. She got married and called to tell Randy on Sunday. I guess her and Harold were in Arizona and they decided to call the Justice of the Peace and get married right away. Last time I talked to her about getting married she seemed to have doubts so frankly I'm surprised she went through with it. I think maybe they are happy when they aren't around her family so she decided to go through with it. Randy doesn't care as long as his mom is happy.

This weekend we are going to Logan for Sammi's birthday party. I need to take the kids shopping for her birhday gifts. They are excited to go roller skating.

Another Sick Kid

Audrey woke up Saturday morning about 3:00am throwing up (why is it always in the middle of the night). She threw up a few times in the morning and then had diahara throughout the day. I thought she was feeling better last night, she even ate a little food and kept her bottle down. This morning I could tell she didn't feel great because she was so quiet and perfectly content to just sit on my lap. We went to church so Zachary could give the prayer in primary, luckily we came home for SM. After we were home for about half an hour Audrey threw up everything she drank today. She has thrown up quite a few times throughout this afternoon. She is so thirsty but everytime I give her something it comes back up. I hate to see her sick and I don't know what to do for her.

Sick Kid

Last night I stayed up to late to finish my Harry Potter book. Just as I was dosing off to sleep I wake up to Sarah throwing up. Poor thing. She was sleeping on our floor at the foot of our bed so I had to throw all her blankets and pillow in the washer. Of course this woke up Audrey who was crying. About an hour and a half later the same thing happens and this is about 3:00am when Randy is up getting ready for work. The two girls and I finally feel back to sleep from about 3:30am to 6:30am. I am so tired and I have so much to do at work and home today but I probably need to make arrangements for work because I don't think Sarah will be feeling up to going to the daycare center she goes to once a week. Wish me luck in making it through the day and such a little amount of sleep.

Happy July 24th

Happy 24th of July!! We generally do something fun to celebrate the day like have friends or family over, BBQ and swim but we didn't do anything exciting today. Randy went into work and I stayed home with the kids. I spent most of my day reading the new Harry Potter book whenever I could. The kids swam with some of the neighbor kids and played with friends but that's about it. Bountiful celebrated on Friday with the parade and fireworks and last night Randy took the kids to a neighbors house to light our fireworks with them. I should have cleaned my house but I didn't, I have alot of catching up to do.

Harry Potter

I finally finshed my Harry Potter book. I stayed up to late tonight to finish reading it and I'm so happy to be done. I have the books on CD on hold at the library and I am anxious to listen to the book soon because I know I missed some stuff. I loved the book. There were some slow parts but I was happy with the story. I snuck online Saturday and read what was going to happen so I already knew what to expect and I was sad about certain deaths and I cried in some scenes. I just love this series and I'm sad it's over.

Clapping

This past week Audrey started clapping. It's so cute and the kids love to do things to make her clap. She's crawling everywhere and starting to pull herself up on things. She has even used Binks (the dog) as something to pull herself up with.

Finally Friday

Yay, it's Friday! Tomorrow my Harry Potter book will come and I am so excited to read it.

This week and been busy and a little crazy. After hosting our Family Reunion at our house it was a mess and I'm finally getting it back in order. Tuesday night we hosted Zachary's Baseball Team's Final party. We invited the team to come swim and at the time I didn't realize it was for families as well so we stressed about 9 to 10 familes in the backyard and pool. Of course it turned out fine and most of the adults didn't swim so it was just kids and there was plenty of room.

This past week Zachary discovered Ebay thanks to a little friend of his. He has ordered two Pokeman games for his gameboy and is watching another sell that he really wants. Yesterday we got a slip from the post office that we have a package to pick up and Zachary is so excited because he thinks it's one of his games. I think it's probably Randy's sunglasses that he ordered so I let Zachary know so he wouldn't get his hopes up just in case. Of course he is so sad. This past weekend his cousin accidently took home is only Pokeman game for the gameboy and he has been so sad and asks me everyday if they have retuned it.

Sarah has had nightime accidents almost every night this week. I am at a loss of how to handle this. It's so frustrating for me and adds so much laundry everyday. I'm not sure what is going on with her but I have to figure something out.

Tonight is the Bountiful Handcart Parade and the fireworks for the 24th. I'm debating about going but it starts at 6:00pm and it will be so stinkin hot. I just don't know if I can sit out there in the awful heat but the kids would have a good time. I'll have to see if Randy gets home from work early enough.
