Just a moment

Brief moment to post something. Or more like.. I actually remembered that I have a blog and my kids aren't driving me crazy and I'm not fighting to keep my eyes open.
Swear my body is trying to hibernate. Pfft, wish I could.
Eat everything in sight, go to sleep for a few months and wake up skinny lol.

Zoe's only been out of school for 3 days so far and although I like getting in a tiny little extra sleep.. I'm ready for her to go back to school :P lol
Her brothers love her home, but then they play which makes noise and I'm not a fan of that noise :P rofl
Plus their playing is started to get "No.. play it my way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" whining and crying and yelling at eachother for not doing it their way.

Anywho... I am taking this time to go through their toys once again and thinning things down. No idea where we're going to take all of this crap, but I don't care. I just want it gone. It's going to be replaced by all of this new stuff... time to get rid of the old.

I got the living room done... going to get Oren's room next. Put more bins in his room to store toys since he has a closet that isn't being used for anything.
Then it's on to Zoe's room. Ugh....

As far as I know DH's grandfather is doing better. He was struggling for a little while and talking nonsense. Like telling DH and and uncle that he wanted to have sex with them o_O And then telling FiL and that same uncle that he was jealous b/c they could have sex but he couldn't. lol
But on Monday, DH said that he was doing much better now and that they should be moving him to a rehab place soon. At least that's what they're hoping.
So thank goodness for that.
DH was getting frustrated with his family though. They seem to think someone needs to be by his side 24/7 when they don't need to be. And then at times, they all pile in to the room and take over so nurses and whatnot can't really do their job. Then they don't really listen to the doctor when he/she comes in and explains what is going on and just ugh...
They mean well, but they're frustrating as heck.

Our stupid dog Rocco still isn't house broken. We've resorted to just feeding him a ton in the morning and then nothing at night in hopes of him not crapping in the house. It sometimes works. :\
Feel bad for doing it, but we're tired of picking up crap. Bad enough when he pisses in the house.
One of those cases of... He's a sweet dog, but damn is he dumb lol.
Ezra flippin loves him and Rocco tolerates it like a champ.

I think that's it for now. If I have a moment and think about doing it, I'll post again... whenever :D

Happy Holidays!

Whatever you celebrate or don't... I hope you all are having a great December so far :)

Things are ok here. Tired.. like... ALL the time, but it's ok.
We're done shopping for the kids. Only have 2 more people to get something for, but that shouldn't be a big deal.
We've been passing around illness after illness.
I'm still coughing from the last one and I think I'm getting sick again. Zoe finally caught it and has started to cough and sneeze more. Thankfully she only has a couple more days of school before winter break.
Looking forward to being able to sleep in... for like 10 more minutes than usual :\

We bought her (and kind of her brothers) a dollhouse. It's mostly for her obviously, but the boys will enjoy playing with it too. Just have to set it up though which is going to be tricky. DH will have to do it in the garage and try to hide it from the kids.

In not so great news... DH's grandfather is in the hospital with pneumonia. He was complaining about not being able to breath well so MiL took him in and they admitted him. DH said he was in bad shape when he went to visit yesterday. No one could understand what he was saying.
Hopefully the docs and nurses will get him better and get him home in time for Christmas.
Will not be visiting or taking the kids while we're sick though. Lord knows he doesn't need to catch anything from them.

In better news... had my annual and all is well. Well. I did learn that I'm up to almost 230lbs... yeesh. But other than that, I'm ok. Need to find a GP but meh.. I'll worry about that next year.

I've been trying to fade the color in my hair. Used 2 bottles of stuff called Color Oops! It's supposed to help get the dye out of your hair, but it did all of nothing for mine. I think my hair is just stained at this point lol. Oh well.
It did make it smell like I soak my hair in sulfur/rotten eggs though. Holy crap does my hair stink!
Part of the instructions is that you're supposed to shampoo and then rinse for a long stretch of time 4 times. So wash rinse repeat 4x.
I did that, then I oiled then shampooed then conditioned and my hair still stinks to high heaven and feels awful.
Just sprayed some old ass body spray in to my hair to try to cover the funk. Going to do a loooong condition this weekend too.
Just took a look at my hair and it did fade it some, but not enough. Oh well. I plan on putting dark blue in it anyway so not a huge deal.

Zoe is doing ok in school. I do not have the patience for homework though. Holy crap... I've lost my shit a few times. Not proud of that. She has a problem listening and sitting still and it drives me up the wall. She's not ADD or anything, she just wants to go play and gets bored with her homework.
She keeps getting in trouble at school for not listening too. It's minor things like playing with her lunch or throwing mulch in the air, but it's still things she shouldn't be doing.

Oren is doing well too. He's talking a lot, but still not potty trained. His frustration with Ezra has come out as hitting and pushing though. He doesn't do it to hurt.. at least.. I don't think so. When I've caught him doing it, it's more of getting Ezra to leave him alone. There's definitely some jealousy issues going on.

Ezra is good. Walking like crazy and pretty much running around nonstop. He's a little sweetie and loves giving hugs. He LOVES Rocco and lays all over the dog. THankfully Roc doesn't mind.
Ezra is destruction on 2 legs though. Good lord, he is too clever for his own good and just chaos.

THis momma is tired. TIRED
