The swine flu has invaded. My kids were exposed to the neighbor kids who had it.

And by exposed, I mean one of said infected kids spend the whole day in my house on saturday. While she was on anti-biotics for what they thought was strep or mono or something else, it turned out that it was VERY likely H1N1. Some kid at their daycare had a confirmed case and they had all the same symptoms.

So ew.

Big Girl is on Tamiflu - due to a "signifigant exposure" Little Sass is on antibiotics, Omnicef to be exact. The stuff that gives you red poo. She's got a green goopy nose and has required antibiotics for such in the past.

So yea, I should be sterilizing my house today. But lets be honest. I'm lazy and a shitty housekeeper.

Plus I'm catching up on old posts from Ashley's Closet and worrying about Stellan.

mommy = FAIL!

Big Girl just asked to see her baby book. Her non existent baby book.
Talk about making a mommy feel bad.
I think I need to get started on that. Maybe before she turns 5.

you know you are a mom when....

you walk in to check on your 2 year old and encounter a wall of stink when you open the door. Only to discover a totally shitty diaper on your sleeping kid and that shit is all over her, her toys, her bed.

Then after you get your kid clean and back to bed...you have to make a bleach solution to hand clean the 2 babies that had her shit all over the.

what a shit-tastic way to spend a friday night.

skipped again

little sass has a runny nose. i don't figure my $5 monthly gym membership for her covers wiping thick nasty mucus from her upper lip every 2 minutes. so we stayed home. FAIL on the working out, but i suppose it does make me a considerate member. right?



Maybe Big Girl and I can take a trip just the 2 of us once hubby gets home.

I did go yesterday though, I wanted to try a class. i searched the schedule and the gym's website for all the class descriptions and one that I thought would work for me. I was amped. I was even there early, dropped the kidlets off at the daycare place and was on the treadmill for 10 mins. At class time I walked up there and in the room I saw about 7 older women. Hummm...interesting. And when I say older. Think of your grandma. for reals.



I watched for a minute while I assessed the situation. I watched as they each pulled out a chair and placed it in the middle of the studio. humm strange.



then a couple of them grabbed some 5 or 10 lb dumbells and carried them over to the chair. Then it hit me.



I had just walked in on this:

Thanks for the pic www.sitandbefit.org

I hightailed it out of there and decided to grab my Mommywood book and get back on the treadmill. What was I thinking? Trying out a class? pshhha!

skipped.

I skipped the gym today because I woke up with some motivation to clean the house. So far, I've done the kitchen (including the floors!).
Not much progress, maybe should have done the gym. oh well. Tomorrow. It's already lunch time and I need to get started on that.

hi again

it's been a few days.


I've been to the gym 3 times. yesterday i lifted weights. I'm defi sore today. Today, I'm taking my new book Mommywood by Tori Spelling.

Yep. Thats right.
Ever since the Twilight books I'm into reading. I have many more that I want to read, but books are just so damn expensive. seriously. I dropped 17.50 on tori's book last night at target.

(yet another reason why I stopped going to target unless absoutely necessary since I stopped working).

Usually I try to swap books with friends or borrow from the library but new releases are harder to come by at the library and i didn't know anyone who had this book and was done with it yet. So I forked out the cash. At least I'll have something for my friends to borrow so I can "pay them back" for all the books I've borrowed of theirs.

I wanted to leave for the gym 11 minutes ago. clearly...right?! One girl isn't fed yet and they both are still in their jammies. we'll see how this goes. Maybe I can leave in the next 18 mins. HA.

I did it.

I joined a gym.

I know I dont need to be spending that money but I have to have it. I was only truly feeling well those months when I was at the gym regularly last year.

So now, the girls and I are members at a Lifetime fitness. Complete with 2 hours per day in the child care center and indoor/outdoor water park type pools.

love it.

The one with the confessions.

The things I SHOULD have done today and didn't.

I'll just make a list for you, it will be easier.

(in no real order).

Showered
Got out of bed before 9.
Made my kids take a nap at an appropriate nap time.
Made the big one put a shirt on.
Changed out of the t-shirt I slept in.
Ate lunch at a normal lunch time (not west coast lunch time).
Put away toys


And now for the things I should NOT have done today and did.

Let Big Girl eat 3 mini fruit roll ups in my bed this morning, while I slept late.
Sat on the couch most of the day.
Let the girls eat lunch in the living room, at different times.
Started blogging again
Played way too many games of bounce out online.
Wait until 6:30 pm to go outside for the first time today.
Slack on library day.,
Stay awake for no reason too late - dooming me to repeat the same sleeping pattern as today.


hey...at least I didn't take a nap today. Nevermind that I was totally unproductive.

My Sister's Keeper

I just finished the book. I started it because I wanted to see the movie and wanted to have read the book first. Now I find out that the movie doesn't follow some of the details I loved most about the book and I've gone from crying to pissed.

I don't think I'll see the movie now.

I read all the spoilers on-line and one of my fave characters was completely omitted from the movie.

Yes, I need this.

Its too much of an outlet to completely let go.

It's all the little complaints, funny stories, boring stories, joys and the in between that I can record and vent.

I used to care about being funny, being followed...I'm going to try not to care and just keep this as what it was originally intended to be. My journal.

If you like what you read, you are invited to keep reading. If not, you are invited to ..... well, take a flying leap.

.........................

I'm in a funk lately. The big D is rearing it's ugly head and I am chalk full of laziness, sleepies, and the i don't give a shits. You see, those are my biggest symptoms when it comes to the big D.

I don't cry uncontrollably, I don't get angry. I get lazy, tired, and just plain don't care about much. My meds haven't changed and I'm sure that changing them would do nothing.

Why?

Because I've been down this road before. I know what I need. But I don't have the motivation to go out and get it. Major catch 22.

.......................................

So, in case you are curious about how I filled my time while I was away....

I read all FOUR Twilight books. Yes, all four of them. I completely devoured them. (Ha! devoured...about vampires.) They were excellent. I mean, really camptivating. I need to find some time to see the movie again. I think I'll like it that much more now.

Welcome.

Thanks for coming over.
