Monday Musings


Ya'll it's Monday and I'm exhausted.  Let's just "bullet point" this one, ok?

1. Last night was rough with a capital "R."  I'm not sure if that should be "capital" or "capitol," and I'm too tired to look it up.  Don't judge.

2.  Ellie had a horrible night, and I've been up since 2:30 this morning.  


3. That would be why my desk looks like McDonald's threw up coffee.  I think I might have a problem.

4.  I would love to tell you that I went home to rest after work, but I just didn't.

5. I actually had a massage this afternoon, and while I am grateful for the relaxation I seriously thought about cancelling to go home and nap.  The only thing that kept me from it was the fact that my gift card expires tomorrow.


6. So, after the massage (which was wonderful by the way) I hit up Sonic for a Route 66 Diet Vanilla Coke. Yes, that was after my zillion coffees...and a Dr. Pepper.  Again, don't judge!

7. Then I took the kids to the park.  Sounds crazy, right?  Well, not after you bride your three year old to sleep by promising him a trip to the ball field, you have to follow through.

8.  I'm thinking now that I should dedicate an entire blog post to the benefits of Caffeine Overload and The Difference Between Parental Bribery and Positive Reinforcement. Ha!


9. Speaking of parenting, mine did a great job rearing me from this little girl into the fine specimen of a lady I am today.  Ha!  Sorry, I think that last diet coke is kicking in.  Really, please don't judge!

10. That's all I've got...wish us a better night.  Oh yeah, HAPPY MONDAY!!!

A New Decade

Happy 2020, everyone!  I know I'm a month and a half behind, but ya'll, January was brutal!  Not brutal in a tragic kind of way but in a "life will wear you out" kind of way. It started off with the flu...times three!  Eric, Ellie and I had Flu B and missed the first week back to school and work.  Then Eli was diagnosed with Flu A two weeks later.  Thankfully, my in-laws stepped in to help so that we didn't have to miss any more time at work. On top of the sickness, we listed our house for sale. The work it takes getting ready for market is just crazy. But we also have people coming in and out of our home at all hours and it's just kinda overwhelming. Plus, we are finalizing everything with the builder. In full transparency, working with the builder has been the easiest part! Maybe I'll do a little update on the whole building process later this week.  Now that the dust has settled on 2020, I'm going to try my very hardest to keep this litt...

Running Through The Sprinkler

Playing in the sprinkler was on our summer bucket list.  To me it seems weird just checking if off and moving on to the next activity because when I was younger, we ran through a sprinkler pretty much every day.  Putting it under the trampoline and letting it keep all the "jumpers" cool, was a favorite pastime. I cringe now. What the heck were we doing with eight kids on a net-free trampoline anyway? Ha! Back to the present…Eric treated the pool yesterday, so we couldn't swim which made it the perfect night to drag out the water hose and sprinkler.   Neither child loved it at first, so we turned down the pressure.  They slowly but surely warmed up to it.  Bless her little heart, Ellie stood right in the middle and took a direct hit.  She would make the worst face you've ever seen then cry ridiculsouly if you tried to move her.  Eli ran straight though the middle with his eyes closed.  Thank goodness our y...

Sunday Funday

Ellie redeemed herself last night by sleeping EIGHT STRAIGHT HOURS!!  Ya'll, we are so blessed to have a good sleeper, and Eli is doing great too!  There are no word to express our gratitude. I try to get pictures on Sundays before church because it's pretty much the only day that we all look presentable, at least at the same time.  Some days I still have on work clothes and look ok, but the kids are in sweats from daycare, or they're looking super cute and I'm in gym clothes.  Please tell me you understand this! At church today, a friend's son gave Eli two brand new pair of baseball pants.  Brett plays ball for a local high school, and Eli thinks he hung the moon.  You can imagine how excited he was to sport his new pants.  As soon as we got home, Eli had change into them and a baseball shirt...love his heart! Eric let me take a little nap, and when I woke up we decided to let Eli swim in the kiddie pool since it's about a ba...
