Ok a side note- Just now when I took Lady bug up to put her in bad who should be standing at his door waiting for me..tornado of course. He is very good at opening his door. Too good in fact. However what was interesting this time is that he was completely and totally naked. Not a stitch of clothing not even his diaper! Now to be truthful this is not all that uncommon either but what is uncommon is when I tell him not to undress himself he listens. Every time I turn around today he is removing his clothes!!!!!!

Ok on to Wednesday. Well I didn’t have to worry about not feeling pregnant anymore because I felt nauseous all day..That isn’t normal for me so it was hard getting acclimated to that. Then while the kids were having breakfast I received f telephone call from a telemarketer. dumbly I gave them our checking account #. yes I know better but in the process Tornado had broken a ceramic dish, the dog was trying to get at the chunks of wreckage and I can’t remember where lady bug was at the time but if I remember correctly she wasn’t happy either.

As I recall there were a million other things that happened that were just above and bbeyond my daily routine! To top it all off Hubby was in charge of Prayer meeting at our church last night! He rushed home from work to pick me and the kids up . He doesn’t normally have to do that. His parents pick us up but they are out of town. So we drove the mile and a half back to church with kids in tow only to discover that NO one would show up. This is common and not normally a big deal but after the day I had it was just icing on the cake.

Today has not been much better. Tornado and Lady bug are both adamantly refusing nap time (which in no way shape or form is acceptable!) Lady bug puked all over the floor and she normall is not a puker. I think tornado gave her Poly-fil to play with and she ate it!

And as I discussed earlier tornado has been getting naked all day. I need a nap myself but I am VERY VERY far behind on my indoor planting and that must get done or we will not be having peppers, tomatoes or broccoli from the garden this summer. So for now Auf Wiedersehn. C-ya round the blogoshere!

Now I must start out this post with a disclaimer. I have no idea who I am writing about. It was just a random person my husband and I saw along the road this week and were amused! We have never seen anything quite like it so if it was you, we are sorry but it was just so different. So my question is Have you ever seen ..someone vacuuming their yard? No I am not kidding and Yes I am quite serious. Last Saturday being my birthday we went out . Not having been out for some time, we went to a bulk foods store then came back for lunch and then went in the opposite direction to the big city. I had a great day but it was on the way to the Bulk foods Store that we drove past someone with a Shop Vac (R) out along the road Vacuuming SOMETHING. Hubby and I both laughed and and made a few comments and we were on our way but I can honestly say it was a very funny thing to see. Oh yes did I Tell you that this is my third birthday pregnant! (No big deal you say, but those three birthdays are in a row!)

One of my favorite parts of spring is flowers blooming! I also love the scent that they put forth. I would have them in my house all winter if I could but I am like millions of other Americans who suffer from pretty bad hay fever a good part of the year (other than when I am pregnant 😉 ) So Even floral scented candles are not a option ! But recently we switched back to using normal detergent for our laundry. We were using unscented without color for the baby but I have given in. There is just something so nice about clean laundry that smells good. And then about a year and a half ago we bought two huge things of Dish liquid from Sam’s Club (R) We didn’t realize it but it was anti-bacterial. I know I know you really aren’t supposed to use it for one reason or another but we weren’t about to throw out ALL that dish liquid so after a year and a half it is ALL GONE!!! YAY! and now on to the real stuff. We bought Dawn (R) Fresh berries scent and it has actually become a pleasure to wash dishes! (Sick HUH?) And my hands are almost back to normal. Oh yeah the anti-bacterial stuff killed my skin..especially on my right hand! I would not recommend it to anyone!

My day started out so great. I got up at 4 or 4:15…that’s part of why it was so good, sounds kinda sick to me but It was a good thing.. I got my devos done by 6:00 and my cards organized by 6:30. I was ready to hit the ground running. the kids don’t get up until 8, so I took the time to add a desired page to my website. I will provide a link here and a link on my sidebar. As planned the kids got up at 8 and I went to get them. I got tornado and fed him his breakfast while I went to get ladybug. They both ate like troopers and during that time I got like 1/2 my cards done..and I have 43 cards to do for the day. I’ll explain the cards in a minute. Anyway I took the kids up staiis for diaper changes because we discovered not long ago that both kids like to poop during breakfast. I changed diapers and clothes then tornado wanted a story. than two than three until we read five or six books. my tongue was tired because they were mostly Dr. Suess. So I took lady bug to my room so I could do some straightening of a mess leftover from when we did our rearranging this last weekend. No sooner did I leave Tornado started wailing and screaming and throwing things down the steps. this went on for 15 minutes, however I reached the end of my rope when ladybug started to cry cause it was her nap time! so I quickly told tornado that it was either calm down or it was going to be early nap time. He didn’t like either option and began to throw an even bigger tantrum(You know the kind that has arms flailing and legs kicking so I scooped him up place him in bed, disciplined him and closed the door. That was at 10:30 they are both sound asleep and I feel a lot better not that I just vented!!

Finally winter has reared it’s cold little self and made life in the northeast a little (Ok a lot) uncomfortable. As a weatherman here says “It’s a snuggle with your sweetie night.” And boy is it. It has been a grand total of 6 degrees here today. And that’s not counting the wind chill. I’m noit used to this kind of cold. It will take a couple of years to really get used to this. After all I have spent that last two years (winters) Pregnant..That really adds a lot of body heat! Other than the cold it truly is a great day. You know why. God has provided me with a home and heat and food. There are many people who will be suffering tonight and this next week far worse than I can ever understand. It’s amazing how much we complain when we have major blessings and needs met. Can you think of some creative ways to help warm another person this week in the freeing temperatures. Let me know.
