. Hee, hee. Hey I can do that on my site. Well come to find out I like writing about our days. There have been a few funny things that have taken place in the past month. I really wish I could be much better at writing in my children's journals. I supp

aving my white flag amongst the mess.
Wow, it's been a while since I last wrote. Goodness knows we've been busy. At what, I can't recall. Today Jerry took all the girls out today so I could get some cleaning done. Now poor Jerry didn't quite understand what I meant by cleaning and was very discouraged to come home after 2 hours to find the living room (the first room you see when you walk in) messier than when he left! I had spent my time in the kitchen cleaning and organizing. I got rid of a bunch of canned goods, which freed up space to put out blender, juicer and bread maker on. That freed up a tiny bit of space on our counter, and over all things look a bit more "open". I also cleaned out the utility drawer as at least 50% of the time you couldn't get the drawer open. then there was the actual clenaing of the sink and counters. After I write I will go in there and mop, then head into the living room to clean that up. After I do the living room for a bit I will return to the kitchen to clean out my tupperware drawers. Then the kitchen will be complete. My goal is to get the kitchen and living room done tonight, and get at least half of the dining room (turned into a craft room) before I head for bed.
This week I want to tackle the upstairs rooms. So much to do and so little time ![]()
Well I am almost done with the book "The Maker's Diet". I have to say it is a must read! After Christmas we will be revamping out diet. It would be too hard to do now as I will be leaving for NY in 3 weeks. So when we get back we will go on the 40 day diet ans then continue to eat the "Maker's" way.
I tried to buy a step aerobics tape the other day, and apparently step aerobics is out of style. So I will have to look on ebay. I did buy a tape called "Fat Burning Walk". That will be for the days that are too cold, or I don't get up in time to get out before Jerry leaves for work. I am actually starting to gain weight now, and that is not what I want to happen. I still have a few pounds (ok more like 15) to loose from the pregnancy.
Flannery has started this new thing of blinking her eyes quickly throughout the day. All of us have been experiencing dry eyes due to turning on the heat, so I am not sure if this is the cause. It only started yesterday, but it kind of freaks me out (that would not be hard to do, freak me out that is). So today I took her to the store with me (just her and I) and she started doing the fast blinking, so I asked her for the 10th time already, why she was doing that. She said, "I don't know". then I asked her if her eyes hurt, itched or if she had trouble seeing, all of which she said no to. So I said, "Well, then why do you keep blinking your eyes like that?". Her reply, "Because my eyes do that, see, look..." and then she looked at me and blinked her eyes slowly and in a sort of an exaggerated way. It was pretty funny.
Saoirse officially has seperation anxiety. Jery had her when I went for my walk and when I went to the store. She was asleep when I left both times, but when I got back I heard one screaming baby from the driveway as the other girls ran out to greet me. As soon as I took her she stopped crying. Go figure. The poor thing has this mysterious rash. The doctor said it was just hives. But this rash kept traveling down her back and out to her shoulders and is not down on her upper arms! I and some other people think it is scabbies. As if I have time to deal with that!!! I have an appointment with a dermatologist on monday. Funny thing is the rash has sort of stopped popping up with new bumps today. But I remember Flannery's doing that. It gave me a false sense of security, believing that she was getting better. But then her rash kind of exploded all over her body at a fast rate. Flannery had scabbies about 10 months ago. I am not ready to deal with this again. We shall hopefully find out whatit is on monday.
Isabella and Moira got some new shoes yesterday. We had to go to Stride Rite as the other cheaper stores had junk shoes. I dont' beleive my 5 year old needs to be wearing 1 and a half inch chunky heels! We were very dissapointed at the limited amount of selection at Stride Rite this time around. We picked up some really nice boots and they only went to size 12. Moira is a 13 1/2 and Isa is a 2 1/2. So we foudn a couple of more we liked, but again, only up to size 12! Ugh! We did get them some Mary Jane type shoes that are nice, but a wee bit too nice. I was looking for an every day type shoe. These shoes could go with their church outfits. Oh well. They will always looked dressed up I guess.
Well there is a bunch of cleaning to be done!
Good Night.
