Business as Usual (aka - Random Stuff)

Whew...Feels good to be back among the living.

Sunday was the first day I felt like my normal sassy self. I know Jarrett was thrilled that I got my spunk & attitude back ;) How did he go nearly 2 weeks without hearing sarcastic remarks & seeing eye rolls? He loves me, he really does.

I watched the Super Bowl & was admittedly disappointed that The Colts didn't pull off a win. I really was rooting for them, you know since my boyfriend didn't make it to the post-season. (Jay, don't worry your pretty little head one bit. 2010 is going to be The Bears season! ♥)

Yesterday, I returned to work. I ain't gonna lie, it was a loooooong day. Sitting up all day, not wearing pajama pants all day, no nap, no marathon of Law & Order SVU or Roseanne for me to drift in & out of sleep to. {SIGH} Alas, I survived it without pain pills, only good old Ibuprofen.

Today, is a new day. I feel well rested. Thank you Tylenol PM - you made my slumber nice & uninterrupted. Thank you Olivia & Rachel - you both deciding to sleep all night long in your room without waking for water, milk, fruit snacks, bathroom breaks, etc...That was soooo nice of you. Let's keep it up, m'kay.

Today is also a "snow day" for Olivia. She is pretty stoked about that! Heck, name one student who wouldn't be.

I, for one, AM. NOT. STOKED. I can tolerate a light dusting of pretty white snow. I love how it makes everything look so pretty & how it simply sparkles when the sun hits it. However, this ain't that kind of snow. 6 to 8 inches people, & it is going to no doubt blow, drift, and make for all around miserable conditions today & tomorrow. NOT. GOOD. TIMES. Can you say "white knuckle"? I can & I did. I am not complaining. Well, okay I am. So sue me.

I ♥ Faces - Kisses

I know I stand no chance of winning, because I am by no means a good photographer. However, I do ♥ taking pictures of my girls! This is probably one of my very favorite ones of them, so when I saw it is Kissin Week at I ♥ Faces, I couldn't resist.

Rachel is only 1 month old & Olivia is 3. Where did the time go??? Luckily, today these girls still like each other!

Go check out the rest of the kissy faces at I ♥ Faces.

Mama has been out of commission

I have been so out of commission this past week & a half. What happens when Mama is out of commission???

The kids are left to fend for themselves.

The kids get to break the house rules.

Well, that is not completely true. But I have been feeling pretty rotten lately. And Jarrett has had to take over a lot of the responsibilities here. And we have been maybe more than lax in our execution of our normal routine & rules.
