You gotta be wise

Listen as your day unfolds, challenge what the future holds, try and keep your head up to the sky. Lovers, they may cause you tears, go ahead release your fears, stand up and be counted, don't be ashamed to cry. You gotta be, You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard, You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, You gotta stay together

Ronald Reagan

"Abraham Lincoln recognized that we could not survive as a free land when some men could decide that others were not fit to be free and should therefore be slaves. Likewise, we cannot survive as a free nation when some men decide that others are not fit to live and should be abandoned to abortion or infanticide."

on the plane...hopefully we leave this time. eta 1235 France time. 0636am NY time.

it's past my bedtime for

it's past my bedtime for sure.

now it's 11pm. nifty.

now it's 11pm. nifty.

plane doesn't leave until 1040pm. sigh.

two hours later....still sitting on

two hours later....still sitting on the tarmac. Now it's overly cold in here. go figure.

yep...still waiting....we started to leave...but

yep...still waiting....we started to leave...but now we have to 'park' to let maintenance on. joy. joy.

AC was broke...still sitting on

AC was broke...still sitting on the tarmac at jfk.

wow. you get quite the

wow. you get quite the interesting variety of people on an international flight....

at JFK until 5:45pm....then off

at JFK until 5:45pm....then off to Nice, France...arriving to start our day at 830am...which is 230am our time!

Every long lost dream led me to where you are, Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars, Pointing me on my way into your loving arms. This much I know is true...That God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you....

So. I'm as lame as they come. I don't know why I would be able to say goodbye to Vin like any normal person could. Like a person who is going away for 5 days. Not 5 wks, 5 months or 5 years. 5 days. I'l be back Wed at 530 pm. For goodness sake.

I woke up with him this morning while he got ready for work. And I gave him a hug. He looked at me, told me to have fun and he loved me. The waterworks started. Hell, I want to cry just typing this. We haven't spent a night apart in years. Literally. Years. So, of course. I cried. I hugged him tight and cried. ok. now you are all shaking your heads telling me I need to get a life that is not so entangled/dependent on my husbands. so much so that I cry when leaving him for 5 days. Well, we do have our separate lives during the day. He goes to work, I go to school. He plays golf and soccer with his friends (he's joining an indoor soccer league), and I go to Jami's and the bounce house. Occasionally a game night with the girls from school. We do our own thing during the day, but at night we always sleep in the same bed.

I am bringing my teddy bear (October) that I sleep with every night. Yes, I still sleep with a teddy bear. Vin got it for me, shortly after we were married, I believe. It's a build a bear. I built it. haha. He even sprayed it with his cologne. Yes. I am extremely lame. haha.

I'd like to think I won't cry when saying good bye to the girls, but I will. In front of my parents. I will try really hard not to. I let them have cupcakes for breakfast. haha. I have only been away from Madalyn for 3 nights when she was 2 months old and we had to go to NC for Child Custody for Jarin. Gracie has left me for longer periods of time periodically, between staying at Junes and at my Mom's and with Grandma Laurie, before she died.

I just emailed Vinny. yeah. I am really lame.

I am listening to Kate Voegels Hallelujah. I love that song, and Jami introduced me to the version by her.

I am introducing the Rugrats to the girls. haha. They are watching season 1 ep 1 right now. Tommy's first Birthday. haha. I've seen this one, before. haha. pathetic that I remember that i've seen it.

Ren and stimpy and Ahhh real monsters is on watch instantly on the xbox. haha. I will be watching those when I get back. I wonder if cow and chicken are. I wonder if I will find them as amusing as I did when I was a kid. lol.

My parents will be here in 2 hours and 15 minutes. sigh.

I uploaded my new favorite songs onto my mp3 player.

Gracie is fascinated by Rug rats. haha.

Grandma June just called me, to wish me a safe trip. aw. she is such a sweet woman. I forget that she is Jordan's grandma. haha. I talk to her like everyday.

Peter called me yesterday to wish me a safe and fun trip. He randomly calls me to talk, or whatever. He is a good guy. Has a new girlfriend. I hope she isn't crazy like Alicia turned out to be. haha.

Reagan, Reagan, Reagan....sigh.
Mom has to drive to watertown to get her. She was camping with her bf and their family (Mr. Mahan's family--for all you from Hannibal), but they called mom last night and they wanted my parents to drive all the way up there (5 hours) to get her, this morning. But, with three girls, that just wasn't going to happen, so mom is meeting them at watertown to pick up Reagan. I wonder what she did. sigh.

My dad must be pretty excited. He called me now, talking about our seats and he is changing them so we can get good seats or whatever. lol.

1 hour and 55 minutes til my parents get here.

My hips hurt. thanks Vin. I am going to bring lots of advil. altho that doesn't really help much. They didn't bother me to much on the long drive up to camp, so hopefully they won't bother me to much on the 9 hour flight from JFK to Nice.

Don't wake me cuz I'm dreaming of Angels on the Moon where everyone you know, never leaves to soon.

I love that song, also. A lot.

This is to one last day in the shadows, and to know a brother's love.

Chris' Friend in his troop.

This is a friend of my brother's that was injured while they were out, my brother took care of him in the field seconds after he was injured. The soldier had a bka (below knee amputation) and lost his thumb. I don't know how my brother does it.

I am getting really nervous/excited to leave. I have never been on a plane for that long. I have flown back from FL on a plane, and then to and from Fl again. That was all. like the longest stretch was 3 hours or something like that from SC to NY, and NY to SC.

Madalyn is so funny. My purse is sitting next to me on the floor, because Madalyn kept getting into it, and I saw her try to inconspicuously bend down and take something outta my purse. She then put her hands behind her back and edged away from me with her back to the wall. I was like "madalyn, what's behind ur back?" "nahee" she replies. haha. yeah. right. she handed it over. It was my lotion I keep in my purse. haha. She loves lotions, creams, ointments, everything. But then she gets them on her hands and flips out. lol. she is so weird about having things on her hands, or being dirty.

At camp she was literally COVERED in dirt and ice cream, and she comes up to me and point to some little spot on her belly, when the rest of her belly and body are covered in crap. haha.

I am all packed. I over packed. I figured since I don;t know what people where there, I will bring everything. haha. I packed a bunch of shirts, ranging from the SU shirt I am wearing now, to tank tops, halter tops, and 'nicer' shirts that I got at JCP the other day. I also packed 2 pairs of shorts, 2 capri's, 2 lounge shorts to wear over my suit when we are at the pool and the regatta, and a pair of jeans. Also my black sundress type thingy, and the red dress I bought the other day.

T minus 3.5 hours til take off and t minus 1.5 hours til mom and dad pick me up.

They are picking me up at 1030, we are dropping my car off around the corner at the shop for the inspection, and then driving the 7 minutes to the airport. We are getting there earlier than dad normally does when he flies because the flight is overbooked, and we don't want to get bumped (obviously) altho we do have leway because we have 4 hours in between flights at JFK.

Dad is definatly excited. His status on fb says "back to the airport, but somewhere fun this time." lol. We are going to have so much fun. My dad and I get along so wonderfully, and have fun in general, so a resort in Monaco will def. be fun! Plus, my dad is a pro at traveling. so that makes it easier to fly and go to weird airports.

Madalyn just got frosting on her thumb (from gracie's cupcake) so she is running around babbling in a highpitched voice looking for a napkin.

she is now getting into Gracie's gum, pretending I can't see her. And gracie just took off after her, and now she is screeching and chasing Gracelyn trying to get it going "NO acie. NO. NO" and giving her the evil look . oh boy. I will not miss this part. but now she is fine and is brushing her hair with my brush. lol.

Gracelyn is already driving me nuts. geez. she keeps jumping on the couch. Hello. we don't do that. But she is excited to be going to stay with Karina for a long time. haha.

ok. Until tomorrow <3 or the next day. I have no idea when I will be back on here <3





Thursday, July 29, 2010

blaaah

I skyped with Toni. It was wonderful! But she has to get a new webcam. I am excited to see the girls, and my girls are going to love seeing her girls. haha.

We are going to watch Shooter, and are drinking RedCat. Vin went to the gas station to get ice cream snicker bars. haha. We are junk food junkies.

I took like a million pics on photobooth with the girls today. <3

I'm holding the broom, and

I'm holding the broom, and I'm sweeping the kitchen floor. Gracie says "are you sweeping?". No Gracie, I'm doimg a jig. geez.

For butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer, Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair

So. We leave in less than 24 hours. Less than 24 hours till I leave my girls (and Husband) to fly a long ways away, to another country. 


I am really excited to go. But what if something happens to the girls while I am gone? Namely, Gracelyn. I am the ONLY ONE that has legal/medical custody over her. I am going to leave notes saying that Vin and My mom can make medical decisions for her, and if they aren't available, then Jami is the other person to be involved. Sigh. I am really worried. What if they get sick? I am leaving their insurance cards with my mom as well. Yes. I paranoi to much. haha.

other than that. I am super excited. I really am going to miss the girls. a lot.


I still need to clean off my desk and the closet like I promised Vin I would do before I leave.

What do you know, Jenny and Nicky are in  love. I still hate Jenny tho.

I want to kill Adele. She is a conniving little BEEEP.

I still don't like Jody. haha. Ok. enough about L word.

Vin asked if i've been on the laptop all day. I of course lied and said I was cleaning all day. That is blatantly a lie. hahah

I am going to drink lots of RedCat tonight. mabe I will be able to actually sleep. haha.

I think I only have like 2 glasses left outta the bottle that mom brought over to dinner last night. haha.

ok. i am out.

until later <3




p.s

WHy doesn't my music play on my blog anymore? Or will it ust not play on my laptop. I am to lazy to get up and see. haha.


Scooby Dooby Doo, where are you?

Scooby is Madalyn's favorite show. I ask her what she wants to watch and she says "scoohee doo" hhaa.


We have to run to walmart today to pick up pics and get a few last minute things for the trip. (including pics of Vin and the girls I developed into wallet size so I can take them with me. Yeah. I am lame. haha.

Vin wants me to clean off my desk, and out the closet today. haha. I have a lot of clutter on the desk, and the girls destroyed the front hall closet. sigh. 

I really, really like this Macbook. it is spectacular. except it has a weird mouse thing, and I can't figure out how to left click to fix my spelling. sigh. 

Dad got me this super cool laptop backpack thingy to. It has like a million pockets and it is 'airport security handy'. like you can unzip it ad show your laptop without having to take it out. cool beans. I dn't think I am taking it to France tho.


my laptop backpack dad got me


my laptop with all the programs.


I am totally psyched. haha. obviously. my parents rock. And, school has wifi, so I can always bring it with me to and do all my crap in the lounge, AND eat, instead of in the library where I can't eat. haha. Yes, my life is inconvenienced when I can't eat. haha.

Eat Pray Love seems like it's going to be really good. I am only on page 40ish. It made me actually giggle outloud last night tho.

I have been sleeping (or not sleeping) awfully bad lately. I hope I sleep better tonight, seeing as how I leave tomorrow at 1230!! OMGOSH! I am so excited.

Ok. So, when I get back we are going back to church. we went every sunday for years, but then we moved to Syracuse, and we still went to our church in Fulton cuz we went down anyways to see Laurie. And then laurie died and paul became pyschotic, so we stopped going down because he stopped being a normal father, and was to tired from being out partying all night to make time for his son and daughter in law and family.

we went to the church around the corner for a few weeks, but they seemed more like a cult than I care for. We went every Sunday for a month, but they kept dropping hints about "why weren't we at the evening services, THREE NIGHTS A WEEK?" ok. sorry guys, but during the school year (esp. when we have to leave the house at quarter of 6 twice a week to get to the daycare on clinical days) the girls go to bed at 7 (and usually so do I.) and the evening services don't start til 730, and SECOND of all. Don't make me feel guilty for only going to church one day a week. goodness. so. we prolly won't go back to that church.

we just want a normal church to go to on Sundays. one that won't make me feel like a bad person if I only go to church once a week. seriously people. I doubt God cares if I don't go to the evening services. Really. Come on, now. Crazy people. Cult people. haha. ok.

I am so excited. have I mentioned that? Dad and I are going to have so much fun. not to mention the fact that HELLO, IT MONACO! On the MEDATERANEAN SEA. Ok. I didn't spell it right the first time that time, and I don't know how to left click to fix it, so deal with it. ha. AND We are IN a sailing Regatta!! WE ARE RACING A SAILBOAT! To bad I have never been on anything bigger than a pontoon boat. hahah. AND I am taking an EIGHT HOUR COOKING CLASS in FRANCE! SUPER DUPER PSYCHED!! AND I AM GOING TO BE EXHAUSTED from the time difference. we start our day at 230 am our time (830 am Monaco time).

I asked dad if they would have a blow dryer there of if I should bring one, and he calmly says (without laughing, to, I must give him credit) "Silver, we are staying at a resort in Monaco, not a motel 6" haha. ok. so I have never traveled (outside of Canada and NC and Fl). My dad is king of traveling, flying 2 days a week, at least and staying in hotels mon thru fri.

Gracie is using 'big girl' words like adorable, dorky, beautiful, crazy, lovable, ect. haha. When Vin gets home, I follow him into the bedroom and we talk while he changes and showers and stuff, and Gracie stuck her head in the bedroom the other day and I was giving Vin a hug and we were talking about our day and Gracie goes "are you loving daddy again?" HAHA. she is a riot.

I really must go now. But I LOVE this computer! Holy Crap. The only laptop I ever had was one that dad built for me when i was living in Fulton when Gracie was a baby. This is 99 million times better than that! This is like, super wonderful AND FASTER than our desktop Mac, and has MORE memory, A LOT more than our desktop. CRAZINESS! haha. ok. I will stop raving about this thing now. But, seriously, it is awesome. If only i could figure out how to left click.

off to Walmart to grab some stuff that I forgot yesterday. Like papertowels. Life is messy without paper towels. we are completely outta papertowels. and napkins. and I forgot to get some yesterday. Thank God for baby wipes. haha.

Until later <3

Love at first site.

Yep. My parents got me a Macbook Pro. I am in love. This is true love. haha.


mom and dad got me

mom and dad got me a Macbook! yay!

...and his fist ain't been sober since maybe October of last year...

Super duper hot out. Holy crap.


I took the girls to the bounce house today.

Vin was like "why do you ALWAYS have to go somewhere?"

Well. Because I HATE sitting home all day. AND school starts soon, and then my life will be one constant world of stress.

T-minus 2 days.

My parents are coming over for dinner tonight.

My dad is going to take a look at the computer and see why it won't me upgrade to tiger 10.6.8 or whatever I am trying to do, so that I can upgrade to the newer versions of safari and stuff so that I can use the ATI sight at home, instead of having to go to school. I am making Salsafied chicken and rice, and I already made Cilantro salsa, which took an hour to dice up all the damn ingredients. and My eyes watered the entire time from the onion and hot pepper. 

Gracie wanted a piece of the hot pepper. I said no. repeatedly to her. Finally I said "fine. take it", she did. and then cried because it was so hot. I told her. But I wasn't about to argue with her anymore. She does this all the time. Except the time she surprised the hell outta me, when her and Madalyn ate a piece of onion, AND LIKED IT.

(ATI is the people who prepare us for our boards. We have been taking their tests on this website for 3 semesters, and at the end of this semester we will take a 'predictor test' and it will tell us our chances of passing the boards on the first try. Honestly, none of us do very good on these tests. That scares the crap outta me, but we still have a full semester left of learning. Well, Theory. We know all of our "skills", altho ask me if I am confident putting in a catheter, and I'd laugh my ass off. That is the only thing I haven't done yet. I know the steps in my head with the whole 'sterile field' thing, but it's gonna be a whole lot different on a human being. I pray to God, my first patient isn't a 350lb woman. With the man, you can just 'grab it like you own it', but the women....welll.....it's not as easy. haha.

I am bringing my NCLEX review book to study and read on the plane. yeah. I suck. haha. or maybe I will just bring Eat Pray Love, if I don't finish it by then, since I am hoping to do a LOT of sleeping on the plane, since we arrive in France at 2am our time, ready to start the day at 8am, France time. Well, if I want to sleep, then review book it is, cuz that will surely knock me out. haha

I miss Zumba. Bad Romance is currently playing on my itunes. I freakin loved zumba-ing to that in my zumba fanatic phase I was in. It got to expensive. It was 7 dollars an hour, and I wanted to go like 3 days a week. I was going every monday, but then Vin started working til like 7 or 730, and it started at 630, and again at 730. I super miss it. It was a HUGE workout, as well. And then my hips started acting up, I think to much Zumba-ing screwed them up even more. 

My hips 'click' every time I move "wrong". They keep popping outta socket. It is not fun. and then they hurt like hell, sometimes, doing certain activities. haha. I should really see a doctor about it, cuz I am worried it is hip dysplasia. They check for that now in every baby/toddler, but they didn't 20 some odd years ago, but then someone realized that the number of people needing hip replacements at young ages was dramatically high. I had an 18 year old pt. that had a hip replacement. 

I don't miss the ped's surgical floor. Well, I do. But I don't think that is where I want to work. If I end up working at Upstate instead of in the NICU, or L&D at Crouse, I want to be on the Ped's hematology/oncology floor. Hell, if I work in their outpt. clinic (the one Madalyn went to) then I would work office hours. how nice would that be? But not as fun. I like chaos on the floors.  I like to be always busy. I pray I can get into the NICU right away. So, I guess that means I have decided to work at Crouse, and either A) not go back to school for 2 years or B) take out loans for the next two years. I think I def. want to take a year off or maybe just take a couple classes here and there online or something. I am pretty sure I need Organic Chem. for the NP program. Yeah. That will take me 3 or 4 times to pass with a 75. haha. I SUCK at Chemistry. 

I really haven't made up my mind. Maybe I will just apply at Golisono's and at Crouse, and whoever calls me first, wins. haha. I just want to be happy with the floor I am working on, after the hell of nursing school. Idk. I can always switch, I guess. But the training period is 6 months per floor, and a year I think for NICU and the OR. But, I def. don't want the OR. haha. The smell of burning skin is not a pleasant smell I want to smell anytime in the near future. (it smells like a cross between pork rinds and something else I forgot at the moment.)

well. I better go do the loads of dishes (mostly pans) that I have used today. sigh. At least I will get a good breeze.

Until Tomorrow <3

blaaahh. Now I'm to overtired

blaaahh. Now I'm to overtired to sleep. omgoodness. sigh.

::Backyardigans theme song:: is playing in my head currently

So Vin guessed what I got him--a new cross.


Screw you, Jerk. haha.

I'm just going to give him the Mike and Mike book I got him, and let him think that I didn't get him one. How on earth did he guess it anyways?!

Unless, of course, he goes on to our bank account and see's that I spent $134 at JBR. haha.

Then I'll have to give it to him. Or, I could lie and say that my mom gave me money to get my dad something, or Reagan, or idk. haha. Guess i'll figure that out, if he goes online. Or, I could change my password for the Chase, then he'll ask why. haha. go figure.

Ok. Back to putting all my clothes BACK in my dresser, I cleared out a bag of clothes to chuck, and a bunch to give to Reagan. I am also packing for France. Good thing Vin works late, the bedroom is a disaster, as well as the rest of the house because, as you know, if you clean one area, the kids will destroy the rest. ha.

I swear. Gracelyn's attitude is going to get her adopted out. She is driving me up the wall with this whole bossy thing she has going on. Madalyn is just plain devious. I swear. Between the two of them, they are the reason why I don't want anymore. haha. Not really. I wouldn't mind another one. But, I do think our family is perfect the way we are <3
And. I would really like to finish school all the way, before having another.

until tomorrow <3





'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable, And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table. No one can find the rewind button, girl. So cradle your head in your hands...And breathe... just breathe, Oh breathe, just breathe...

So. Went to the mall with the girls. Fun, as always. sigh. I can't wait til they are older and don't try to hide in EVERY clothes rack, and don't make me loathe every minute I am shopping. I got two new shirts for France. I am pleased. I hit the sales at JCP, and got 2 shirts for $24. not bad. lol.

I also then went to JBR and got Vin a new white gold cross for his necklace, which somehow broke. again. This is his third one. I don't get it. Altho my clasp broke on my chain, but I was able to get it repaired under the insurance we have on it. Altho, before I bought a new one, I should have brought his old one in to see if we could get it fixed. That one we got at Piercing Pagoda tho, so prolly not, last time we "fixed" the clasp somewhere it cost 30 dollars and broke anyways. ha.

I also got him the new Mike and Mike book ($26 at Borders!!! What a ripoff!) that he has been wanting. sigh. Altho I got "eat pray love", which looked good (nonfiction about a woman traveling thru different countries 'finding herself') AND I just found out, it is a movie. With my FAVORITE actress in it (Julia Roberts). So. I am psyched. I will prolly stop reading "the doctors wife" and read this book first, since I am not at the 'point of no return' on The Doctors Wife. lol.

I added music. Obviously. To this blog. Took me a while to figure out how to do it. But I love this song. A lot.

I am really going to miss the girls (and Vin) when I go. But I am still counting down the minutes to leaving, and not having to yell at the girls, or clean up their countless messes or do dishes or laundry, for FIVE WHOLE DAYS!!!!!

Clams were a success last night. yay.

I still need to go thru my dresser and get rid of clothes I will never/have never worn. I am AWFUL when it comes to getting rid of clothes. haha. I will put in ER and watch that while going thru clothes. Make it a little less tedious. or whatever. I don't think that is the word I want, but oh well.

Madalyn is such a tattle tale these days. Which I find hilarious. "Acie, no! Acie, no! Mommmy. Acccie! Go to your room, Acie!"

hahah ("Acie" being "gracie" obviously.)
She is always telling her to go to her room, or clean her room. I guess I say those phrases a lot. haha.

Ok. Until later <3



one more picture, she keeps saying. haha. my lil diva.

I don't know and I don't care, if I ever will see you again.

Accomplished today:
Gracie's Dresser
Gracie's Room
The Livingroom toys (which are now in Gracie's room, organized)
Making Clams at this very moment.
FOLDED THE LAUNDRY!

Yep. Tomorrow all that is left is going thru my dresser and tossing everything that I haven't worn ever/in years.



my dress for the awards ceremony in France. Sorry. I am not very photogenic...but the dress is beautiful!!!

back to my salt potatos and clams. Yes. I did really try to reincarnate the WONDERFUL dinner from Aunt Val's last night. haha. I was gonna do the salsa, but she said it's best if it sits over night, so I will make it early tomorrow for a snack tomorrow night. lol.

Until Tomorrow


Aww

Vin just texted me from work and said he is going to miss me when I am gone.

Altho he is prolly just going to miss me for the fact that he is going to be the one having to care for the kids and get them up and cart them off to daycare at a quarter to five in the morning. Well. Welcome to my life!

I will miss him tho. :-(


We were wanna be rebels who didn't have a clue, in our rock and roll tshirts and our, typically bad attitude.

I'm exhausted, but feel the need to update.


We to Uncle John and Aunt Val's yesterday. Had a nice day. Thank God that Livy is at that age where she LOVES kids and loves to watch the girls. We had steamed clams. I didn't realize I'd like them so much. Now I want more. haha. We also had Wine Sangria's, (YUUM), corn on the cob, chicken kabobs (which we super good), salt potatos, watermellon, and a super good cilantro salsa. it was so good. I want more. haha. I am now starving thinking about clams and cilantro salsa. To bad it is 8:37 in the morning. Maybe I will find a recipe for Cilantro Salsa, and get some clams and reincarnate the dinner we had yesterday. haha. Ok. I am just lame. 

I don't even want to get into my frustration with Paul.

So, I won't.

I am leaving in 4 days. Holy Moly. I need to do some cleaning before then. Like, normal cleaning. Mop, again, since the girls spill Juice on a regular basis. LAUNDRY. that I have been putting off folding for like a year. (more like a week, but you get the point). Vin is pretty frustrated with my anti-laundry tactics. I will wash and dry it no problem, hell, I may even put away our clothes (altho he always does ours, while I get stuck with the girls.), but when it comes to the girls clothes, I let the clean clothes pile up in the basket for weeks until they either A.) run outta clothes or B.) Vin gets sick and tired of looking at a basket of clean clothes at the end of our bed. I just really hate folding and putting away the girls clothes. They have so many. 
I also have to RE-Organize Gracie's dresser. AGAIN. Because she digs thru it, takes everything out to look for a certain object of clothing she wants, then either A.) leaves everything on the floor or B.) Leaves it all on her dresser, then I go thru and shove it all back in her dresser, with the hopes of going thru her clothes in the near future.
I also have to go thru their toys that are out here in the living room. I did a thorough cleaning of their room, which is now organized and clean. (altho, a lot less organized and clean then it was on Tuesday evening when I did it. 

Did I mention how much I hate cleaning. sigh. Vin wants me to go thru the fridge (which I do on a weekly basis) and clean out all the leftovers we promise ourselves we will eat, but, ultimately end up wasting. 

Vin doesn't realize how much cleaning I do during the day, and what the house WOULD look like at the end of the day if I didn't spend hours picking up their toys thru out the day, doing the dishes, and cleaning up all the messes they (or the animals) make. I should just NOT do anything one day, and let him see for himself that I do DO something, since he apparently thinks I sit home and do nothing all day.

sigh.

Until later <3
