Well, we are all feeling better. Hooray!
It is Monday though and boy does it feel like it.
This morning was a rare morning when my kids didn't wake up at 7am. Unfortunately it is a preschool day so I had to wake up all three of my sleeping chillins to take G to school.
The garage door broke on our way out. At least it is stuck open, so I didn't have to wake up my kids to stay home due to the car being stuck.
Potty training again... fun fun. I'm NOT buying more diapers!
And when G got home from school he decided to have an attitude. If he doesn't change it he will be taking a nap today.
....
Is it Tuesday yet?

Hello Chuck
Last night Chuck came for a stay at our house.
Quite frankly I don't like Chuck much, he definately wears everyone out. He stays up late and loves to wake people up at night and demand new sheets on everyones beds. Laundry is his favorite past time.
I don't mind him so much when he is down, but when Chuck is up he's a real handful. Up Chuck is a real pain.

We're baaaack!
Hihi,
We have returned! Must be a curse ... I know! But much to your chagrin I'm sure we made it home safely. :o) Just kidding OF COURSE!!!
Anywhys...
We had fun in good ol' Utaho. We took the kids to a great children's museum there, went to a planetarium, took them to temple square on Sunday, and went to a dinosaur park. Needless to say we pretty much turned the whole doctors trip into a family vacation!
So this morning before we came home we went to the doctor. A behavioral specialist.
I was concerned because G has to be told to do things about 3 times before he ever moves to do them, he has a hard time concentrating when there is any background noise, and he can't seam to follow sequences aka "Go get your socks, then put on your shoes, and after that go get your coat on." He gets his socks and looses track of what he is doing. there are other things as well but that is the main part. Anyways. After the doctors played some games with him and had him answer some questions he basically said he isn't ruling anything out at this point as far as A.D.D. or other things but that with the lack of family history in the A.D.D. department he hesitated to say it was that.
What he did say was that he needs a hearing test (not a big surprise) to make sure he hasn't got any issues hearing high frequencies. Basically G is really intelligent for his age (tests at the level of a 6 year old) but his language skills are lacking (He tests at the 4 year old level where he is very nearly 5 years old). The doctor thinks that this may be the reason for the issues G is having with everything from following instructions to potty training issues (which Dr. said was closely related to language skills). He sent home some questionnaires for Jer and I to fill out and for G's teacher to fill out, he is also sending stuff to our pediatrician here in IF. he did say he wasn't overly concerned about G at this point but that we need to keep tabs on the situation and make sure that if it continues or gets worse by the time he is in kindergarten then we may need to do more testing.
Anyways, I feel good about the doctors visit. he seamed competent and very personable and like he was being proactive as far as our concerns about our son go. Overall I liked him and was so glad he didn't just try to brush us off and tell us it was all in our heads. :)
I plan on posting some pictures of our trip tomorrow once we are settled again.

Monotony
Wow, believe it or not that word is actually spelled right. It looks sooooo wrong!
Anywho
I was just thinking today that I had a bunch to do, then realized that if someone asked me what I was up to I would most likely say "Nothing".
Wanna know why? Yup, that's right. Monotony.
This morning thus far I have gotten the kids dressed, fed them, started laundry (can we say never ending task?!), straightened the kitchen, gone through a pile of crap on my counter, put stray toys where they belong, gotten a shower (I know I probably shouldn't include that but sometimes it just doesn't happen capt'n!!!), taken G to preschool, talked to the Pediatric office and the Dentist office, made plans for lunch, and made sure that M didn't wet her pants.
Yet, if someone asked what I had done I would say "Not Much... You?"
It's no wonder I feel like I get anything done! I never acknowledge that I did anything!! Because the stuff I do is soooo repetitious and non interesting nobody really wants to know.... Unless of course my day has been extreme, good or bad. then I have something to talk about.
I'm starting to understand why people think that stay at home moms do "Nothing" all day long!! It's cause they say so! :D

My Mom is Creative.
So this is my kids after multipule potty accidents at my mom's house. They had no more pants or undies to wear by the time we left. So my mom got creative to make sure their legs didn't get cold going out to the car.... these are two pair of her excersise pants rolled up with safety pins and tied REALLY tight.
And here I was thinking I'd heat up the car and carry them out REALLY fast LOL

Grandpa's Funky Sense of Humor
So today my grandpa was visiting my mom. So I took a trip up there to say hi, since I haven't seen him in a long time. Probably since my step grandma passed away.He is now living with his sister and her son and a little while ago he needed a new car. He was trying to get a VW bug that was diesel. Unfortunately those are hard to come by... so he decided to buy a Hundai. But being kind of quirky and having extra time he decided to take his "piece of shit" car (sorry his words) and turn it into a beamer. LOL He even went to the effort to get a license plate holder that was from a BMW dealership.
When asked why he would do that he responded "about 50% of people won't know the difference and the other 50% will think it's humorous." That's my grandpa... the guy who responds the LDS bishop when asked what religion grandpa is "Buddist" or maybe it's "Muslim" now.... just for the reaction.

Bleeding noses, snarky kids, and realtors!
So, today has been one of THOSE days.
L woke up at 6:30am again... bad time for him to wake up, makes it hard for me to get a shower before getting G and M up. Oh well, I can handle that. So as I'm feeding him my nose decides it's going to put in it's two cents (or sense ... haha I'm so punny! :P ) and decides to start bleeding.... and not just a little bit. Out the window goes my chance for a shower before getting up the older kids.
As I'm getting the two older kids ready for the day, G informs me that he doesn't want to go to preschool today. "sorry bud, Your job is to go to preschool, Mine is to keep the house running, Daddy's is to go to work, M's is to learn to use the potty, and L's is to grow and be healthy."
M had an accident (icky) at Gma S's house while G was at preschool. At least L got a good nap there.
On the way to pick up G from Preschool My lovely bloody nose decides to make another cameo appearance... :P
Gma decided to take us to lunch which went ok till the end at which point G wouldn't get out from under the table and then insisted that he wanted to go home with Gma S. "Sorry G, we have to go to Sam's for diapers and stamps then home." for M's nap ... though I omitted that part seeing that Missy was right there and I didn't want her to start in too.
G proceeds to have have a snit. refusing to put on his seat belt etc, then at Sam's he proceeds to hang from the cart dragging his feet alomg the floor... grrr. Now I'm definately NOT considering going to Gma S's house again. I warn him to change his attitude or he will end up with a nap as well..... 1.........2.........and at the checkout 3! It's official he is taking a nap.
On the way home he decideds to be good, and tells me as he is getting out of the car "Mom, I'm being good now." uh-huh.... once inside I ask him to use the restroom... snarkdom breaks loose again. I end up carrying my 4 year old screaming to his bedroom.
I then proceed to put M and L down for their naps. Ahhhhh peace...
Nope, and here I thought I might have the rare occasion to catch a power nap as well! Mwhahaha.... Life is a booger! I lay down and 5 min later I hear M playing in her room... ok I'll try to ignore her and pretend to sleep. Thunk. She's now jumping off of her bed. Sigh. Up I get. "sweetie, stop playing and go to sleep please." ... lay down again, it's just a speed bump right? .... 5 min later the phone rings.
"Hi this is Some Obscure Realtor, I see that your MLS list expired, are you planing on listing your house again soon?" It's now up for sale with Assist-to-sell thank you "Oh, well can I sent you my card in the mail so that if you decide to list it with a realtor again you can have my name?" ummmm it IS listed with a realtor it's just not on the MLS for a few.... fine,sure send me your stuff. (just let me sleep!!!) .... peace for 2 min... Our realtor calls and says there is a couple that should be able to come through at about 5:30 or 6. Ok excuse to leave for dinner.... click.

Yes, Apparently I'm a trader...
Ok, so most of the time if you mention the game "World of Warcraft" in public you get really different reactions depending on the gender you are talking to.
If you happen to be speaking to a group of women you usually get irritation and a bit of "wife aggro" coming through. (BTW Wife aggro = Angry wife's that are usually upset or suspicious of the amount of time their husbands or significant others spend on a particular COMPUTER GAME.)
If you happen to be speaking to a group of guys you will get at least a few if not a lot of questions about what "class" you play and on what "realm" (Class = race, Realm = server). Or if the guy doesn't play you may get questions about how to avoid said "wife aggro" or maybe other specifics about the game.
Being a girl I'm usually expected to be in the "wife aggro" category. But low and behold... I too love the game. In fact, many an evening after the kidlets are in bed you may find Jer and I sitting in front of our computers beating the crap out of unsuspecting "horde", or "questing" for better gear.
I'll admit, at one point I was a little upset by the amount of time Jer spent playing... then we made some rules about playing when the kids are up etc. And I ... be devious like I am :oP decided to make a character for the sneaky objective of finding out what a reasonable amount of time would be to ask Jer to get off! (the game is in real time so it can't just be paused ... you actually have to logg off or find somewhere safe for a few minutes till you can get back)
Well, needless to say, I got hooked! So yes ladies ... I am a trader to that bain called WoW.
Now I guess I'll go clean till the server maintenance is done!
If you happen to be speaking to a group of women you usually get irritation and a bit of "wife aggro" coming through. (BTW Wife aggro = Angry wife's that are usually upset or suspicious of the amount of time their husbands or significant others spend on a particular COMPUTER GAME.)
If you happen to be speaking to a group of guys you will get at least a few if not a lot of questions about what "class" you play and on what "realm" (Class = race, Realm = server). Or if the guy doesn't play you may get questions about how to avoid said "wife aggro" or maybe other specifics about the game.

I cut my hair because......
I found that usually the only thing I ever did with my hair was put it up in a ponytail. I was in too much of a hurry to take the 15-20min to actually DO my hair. I figured short hair would FORCE me to do my hair. No more ponytails possible.
Well, I chopped it. On Friday I took the plunge I hacked the whole bit off.... if you look at my 3rd to last post it has tons of pictures of me with different haircuts. Well I chopped it to look a lot like the one with me in the bright stripped shirt. :o)
Well, this morning I was in a rush and figured once I got home from dropping G at preschool I might exercise and definitely clean. (our realtor is changing tomorrow) So I coped out. Yes, already. I didn't do my hair. And because of the lack of possibility for the ponytail.... what did I do you may ask?
Yes, I dug out a HAT! Seriously!
