Snip-Its

I've seen enough bodily fluids to last me a long time.

I've been thrown up ON and didn't throw up in return. Yay me!

Laundry has been my life over the last 4 days, well that and cleaning up bodily fluids, spilled juice, used tissues, and other assorted nastiness.

We have had no showings in over 2 weeks. I'm beginning to lose hope.

I cannot wait until July. It's day 9 of Matt's turn around and I'm losing it.

I'm not so sure that I've ever seen my house quite this dirty.

Evan has been sleeping on his floor every night for the past week.

I need to buy two twin beds for Madeline and Leah. They are getting closer and closer to climbing out/falling out of their cribs. Lord help me when I have 4 children free to roam the house at night.

I'm going to attempt to mow the grass today. I've never mowed grass using a push mower, only a ride on.

I need to go to the greenhouse again because several of my plants are dead.

Evan's curtain rod fell out of the wall last night. I think the swinging Tarzan leap off of his bed while hanging on the curtain may have had something to do with it.

I am stalling my writing this because I have no desire to drag 4 kids to Walmart.

Sick

Evan, Madeline and Leah are all sick. Fevers, vomiting, sore throats, stuffy noses - they have it all. I hate to see them uncomfortable, it breaks my heart to not be able to make it all magically better. Every time that the kids get fevers I cannot keep myself from thinking about this little boy Matteo, he died one year ago and they will never find out why. He did have a fever in the days leading up to his death. That's what scares me so much. I try not to think about it and over react but I can't help but have it creep back in my head through the night. You can read his story here, but be prepared to cry. http://martinomadness.blogspot.com/2009/07/very-heavy-hearts.html

I guess she was hungry

I was making dinner tonight and turned around to the sound of Grace gagging. Madeline had pooped. She had also decided that she would put her hand down into her diaper and smear it on her belly, arms and face, as well as eat some for good measure. Lovely.

Carter's Outlet

I went to the Carter's Outlet yesterday armed with 3 coupons that could all be used together.

At Checkout:

Total: $188.99 without coupons

I ended up paying only $64.33! I was so excited that I got 24 items for $64.33!!!

Figures

I ordered a ton of clothes for myself (gasp!) and they came today. I ordered a lot knowing that I would send back half of the them for one reason or another. Doesn't it figure that I love everything and know have to choose what goes back!?!! The one thing I haven't purchased yet this year is a bathing suit. I'm dreading it. We have just decided that we're going to the beach for a week in July so I guess I better order one soon. My biggest issue with clothes in general is I'm never sure what is appropriate for me. Is it too young? Too old? Am I too fat? Does it flatter my post 50+ inch twin belly?
I also went to the Carter's Outlet today and my total came to $188.98 before coupons, I only ended up paying $64!! Can you believe that?! I'm so proud of myself!
Can you tell that Matt is working a lot? I will be blogging a lot just to attempt to keep myself somewhat sane, I apologize for the pointless blogs but it's hard being alone with 4 kids under 5 all day and never speaking to any adults.

Water Table

I guess they got tired of standing at the water table.

If You Misplace a Child...

Just follow her sister - It's a dead giveaway... I see you!
