Just Some Stuff for Today....

Until the baby wakes up that is....
Oh gosh... this post might already be done. I shouldn't have coughed. Now it is ALL Messed up!

#1. I have been "sick" with a horrible crackly voice for several days. I dont know what it is all about. Sore throat from time to time. Thick boogers in the morning (TMI) Late at night it is hard to breathe without it tickling and needing to cough. In the morning it is thick yuck coughing. Some nasal drainage.. nice and green too. BUT... I am NOT wasting my time on an appointment. I have not had a fever. MAYBE I should make an appointment. I dont know. Ugh... Advice?! I have felt OK for the most part outside of no voice... weird.

#2. I sent the girls walking to school. It is 58 degrees. They were trying to tell me it is raining. Kiley and the baby are still asleep so I dont feel the need to wake them up when there is FOG and warm temps. Not a deep, thick fog... just some misty looking fog. It is NICE outside even though it is not sunny out. I should open the windows and let some wet air in the house.

#3. I really enjoy going to Jazzercise. Never thought of myself as someone who would enjoy going to an aerobics and strength training class. BUT it is nice. I am in the Forever Fit program for people who are wanting to lose 15-100 lbs. I am in the 40-60lb range. I have honestly GAINED weight since I began. I talked to another woman in the Forever Fit program and it seems that she has also gained some weight since beginning. I suppose we are building muscle before dropping weight. We shall see!!! I hope my inches change. I am bummed I got sick because I could totally see myself going to these classes at least one time per day. They make me feel awesome and I totally recommend them to anyone who needs a gateway to getting more healthy. They have cool music with some choreography exercises. I am sore today from going on wednesday night... the strength training... ooooh..... ouch. BUT obviously it is working! I just have to try and figure out how to keep my tummy tight to gain the most from doing the exercises!!!

#4. I am always thinking about what to blog and when I get the time to sit down and start typing... it all goes away!!! UGH! I have some witty things in my mind when I am not sitting here. So, you will all have to miss out. Sorry... my brain blog... if only anyone could read it...

#5. Last night I went on a late trip to Walmart and brought Sydney and the baby with me because we took a late nap. Sydney has been in the habit of telling her little white lies and she won't fess up even when she has been caught. So, she got punished to her bed. Once she woke up (over 2 hours later! @@) she did say she did not tell the truth. She didn't want to tell us the truth because she didn't want to get in trouble. She has not yet realized that the more you lie, the more trouble you get in. I think the fight she got in with Kiley was over something that was a complete oversight misunderstanding where Sydney got possessive without realizing she had no reason to do so. Ah well... it was all about a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. Something I would get pretty possessive over too if I personally had one in MY possession. So, back to the reason I started writing this ... On the way home from Walmart, Sydney was sitting in the back of the van which I still have been borrowing from my mother... and she said... "Sometimes my heart gushes. Like a Trampoline... Boing Boing Boing" .... so, the panic set in for me... "When does your heart GUSH?" She then got nervous and said... "No, it doesnt do that"
UGHHHHHHHHHH
I didnt make it sound panicked to her as I am having to speak minimally anyways. For some reason my kids do not verbalize when they are ill or not feeling well. They wont get in trouble. I want to relieve them. So, I dont know what to think. She said it was when Daddy was tickling her that this happened. So, maybe she is just noticing more now since having her procedure done???? Her doctor is in Providence so I do not know if I should attempt to make an appointment to at least calm my fears. Being a parent is HARD... then through in some childhood illnesses and it gets even more difficult because you have to be a scientist... a sleuth... you really need to know your children.... and with how much your children change.... you are apt to MISS something... and with Sydney... the Miss could be devastating should I not follow through on something.

I heard the baby.... he cried once. I might have another minute!

#6. How come when I am sitting here with no children in the room I feel the need to go directly to the children's television stations? When I turn the TV on in the morning, there is always sportscenter on. If Chris comes home from lunch there is always sportscenter on when I turn the television back on from dropping Kiley off at school... and every other time, it is some variety of children's shows. And here I sit... no kids... and I browse to the stations intended for Children. I DID change it though. I have TLC on.... Go me!

#7. I am getting close to my 200th post. So, I might have to do something special for that. Now the phone is ringing.

Talk soon!!! it is my sister talking about the ridiculous Christmas gift Kiley wants.....
