It is a beautiful day in the Boise area today. It rained yesterday and washed away all the yucky in the air so today is sunny, crisp and clear. The mountains look amazing today. I also hit a sweet sale at Macy's today and bought not one but TWO pairs of jeans. Any day a good pair of jeans is found is a good day. But I am feeling very, well...
Ho hum.
Once I got home from Carly allergy appointment where today we were treating for Vitamin B complex, yes apparently people can be allergic to Vitamin B. The doctor accidently treated her for Vitamin C which wasn't a big deal, we just started over. Well I brought all three kids with me today because the doctor has the cutest miniture Poodle named Sampson that the kids were really anxious to play with. Sampson wasn't there today. Since we had to do a re do on Carly's treatment, my sugar high, sleep deprived four year old had quite the show for everyone today. Urg.
I couldn't wait to get home and rip off these jeans, cowgirl boots, coat and hat and throw on my sweats and a sweat shirt. I still have to change by the way, I was afraid if I went into my room I might not ever come out! And the four year old is asleep on the couch. YES!
BUT, I stopped myself and tried to make a better choice and thought I would vent on here, eat an apple, light a candle and drink some hot tea.
The apple was too mushy for my liking and by the time I actually sat down to write this my tea was luke warm. See what kind of day this is? Urg.
After each of Carly's allergy appointments I have to use what we call a "buzzer" to stimulate all of Carly's pressure points every two hours to keep the treatment moving through her body. She also has to avoid what ever she was treated for for 25 hours. I didn't realize that vitamin B is in everything. No really, everything. So my five year old can eat plain white rice, plain white pasta, fried potatoes and fish. THAT IS IT. And water to drink. Sounds real healthy huh?
So along with the dirty house I was met with a crying five year old who just wanted some fruit because she was hungry. And mad because she doesn't like rice. And she is hungry. And it is unfair. All of which I can agree with. It is unfair that she doesn't get to eat anything while everyone gets to eat what ever they want. Well I don't, but she doesn't notice that. As if the food fight wasn't enough for this sleep deprived mama, oh didn't I mention the no sleep? Everyone has been passing around throw up, fever, and general cold symptoms all week, which means if someone is not kicking me in my bed, they are not tired because they napped all day, or can't sleep because they don't feel good or are throwing up. I. AM. TIRED.
Ok, back to my griping. As if the food fight wasn't enough, I was faced with this:
Time to fight with Carly's eyes. I must say, she is a trooper for all she has to deal with. That pink inappropriate looking thing is her buzzer. Technically called an acu-stick (as in acupuncture stick). Thought I would let you see it. : ) In her contact case is her $170 contact, no pressure to not loose it when I am putting it in! And her eye patch which she is SUPPOSED to wear everyday for two hours. We are still working on perfecting that. She hates it. Rightfully so.
Alright, I got all that out. I feel better.
Tomorrow I am picking up my dearest friend, Jackie from the airport and get to spend three glorious days with her and her beautiful baby #4 still in tummy! Her other kids are at home in California. I am so excited for TJ and I to have time with her. It is the kind of friendship that is like none other and so yummy to the soul. And I am excited for her to have some time away from responsibility. The thought of her being here tomorrow is enough on it's own to turn my Ho Hum into a Yippee Skippy! And I will pull through, because I am a procrastinator and work well under pressure, I will get the house clean. But even if I don't, she won't care. And I love that.
It's a beautiful day in the Boise area today! And it is looking brighter. Thanks for listening to me whine. It felt good!
