too much = crazy...

it's been a bit of a hectic week around here...
there is no doubt!

on monday...
there was a chicken pox scare, which led to the first Dr appointment of the week.

a family trip to chuckie cheese after school, which was pretty fun.
and then a 30th birthday party in the evening for brian's brother chris.

then on tuesday...
i'm pretty sure that god knew my life needed a good cleaning cause that's exactly what i did all day, and not by my choice!
my car had some issues after i dropped levi off at school so i had to clean it out so that bri could take it in.

in the meantime that day i noted alivia's nose was starting to run, which luckily got us out of ballet for the day (cause i really had no car to get us there anyway!).
i came home from picking up levi to find a trail of ants heading to and from our back door...
seriously... like HUNDREDS of ants!

so that meant i had to sweep and mop up everything... yes, even under the extremely heavy rug! until i found the cheesy doreto chips that were under the rocker attracting levi's new friends into our home....
needless to say...
there is a NO MORE FOOD except in the kitchen rule in our house now!

by the time evening got around alivia's runny nose was accompanied by a nasty cough! so nasty infact, that it made her puke all over the bedroom floor clear into the bathroom as she was running towards the toilet.
so my bedroom then got a nice cleaning with newly vacuumed floors, and the bathroom got the wipe down with newly mopped floors.

the night ended when alivia accidently knocked the glass measuring cup down on the kitchen floor. the millions of tiny glass pieces then needed to be vacuumed up (which made my mind say it needed a good mopping too).

yep, tuesday was a day of deep cleaning!

then wednesday came...
i noticed first thing in the morning that alivia was a "good big sister" and "shared" her nasty cold with nataley.
they both were rather feverish and just looked rough.
i decided that i would be taking the girls in to the Dr right after i got levi from school

when the girls and i got to the school that afternoon we were greeted by levi and what looked like several wads of blue gum throughout his hair. i was then informed by his teacher that levi decided not to take a nap during nap time but rather was secretly picking the sticky tak off of the posters placing bits of it in his own hair!
YIKES... sigh!
(i should have taken a picture i know... but i was too angry to even think about that!)


we made our way to the Dr office. the girls were checked and were diagnosed with a bad spell of the common viral cold. after the doc was done checking the girls she playfully took a gander into levi's ears.
and much to our surprise...
HE had the ear infection!

the night ended with
dinner with my mom....
filling a prescription...

and then me pulling out chunks of tak or cutting bits of levis hair...
arg, i should have just buzzed the whole darn thing!

finally, thursday was here...
i rather enjoy thursdays. it's the only time of the week when i get out without my children.
granted it is only to my mary kay meetings at the pink studio but...
they are great girly fun! and encourage me for the following week. and like i said before... i am without my children!

i ran down to the mall after i dropped levi off at school to pick up the black skirt that i needed for the pink studio.
and two very cute pairs of sunglasses...
and then i eyed in envy on several pairs of corduroy paints ( i just might go back sometime next week... they were calling my name!)

levi also had his first soccer practice!
very adorable stuff!




oh yea...
and, i had my first PVO meeting at school too!
i met some wonderfully happy women, and had a great first meeting!
i can't wait for next weeks when we talk about the fall fest!

thursday was a fun full kinda day. :)


and then, finally! friday was here...
except, friday was so crazy i could hardly think for one minute!
the girls both started "barking" in the middle of the night, which kinda freaked me out,
and i took them both to the dr. first thing in the morning.
and although alivia still looks really bad, she apparently is on the mend.
but nataley, oh my poor poor nataley has developed a respiratory infection!
her little nose is like a milky snot faucet. :(

i picked up her meds,
and then had to go to the hair appointment i had forgotten that i made.
i printed up some flyers and then spent the rest of the evening taking care of my two sick girls.

saturday...
i would have been found walking the neighborhood most of the afternoon.
i was too tired out from my week to do my usual produce/grocery runs.

so tired that i didn't even clean up the kitchen from dinner (extremely not in my nature, extra showing just how exhausted i truly was).

and on sunday....
ah sunday, what a wonderful day. my day of complete rest.... almost!

i was blessed by my terrific husband!
who cleaned up the kitchen, cleaned out the fish tank (even though the fish all died by the evening... it's the thought that counts). he took care of our still sick, feeling lousy, girls most of the day.

i only had to catch up on laundry, and made a trip down to wallgreens to pick up a picture levi needed for school and a loaf of bread so that he could have his most loved pb&j for lunch on monday.

i wish i could say that the business of the week made it fly right by, but the truth is...
it felt like the longest week of my life!

i'm kinda starting to realize that it is quite possible that i have taken on too much stuff.
cause even though (fingers crossed) i may not have sick children this week...
i still have a pretty crazy schedule coming up.

between ballet, soccer, a follow up visit for nataley, levi's first field trip (i'm so excited!), one cake decorating class with chels, and a mary kay meeting!
not to mention the fact that i still have to do a grocery store run, at least one target stop, and head over to the produce market! and i still want those corduroys!

sigh... i better get going here!
