eye teeth.UGH.Someone mentioned not too long ago that when their baby cut their eye teeth, it was MUCH worse than when they cut their molars.Worse than molars, I think? NO WAY.Yeah, famous last thoughts...So if you see a disheveled woman, with 2 kids, walking around like a zombie with a caribou cooler in hand, mumbling something about teeth and sleep and nursing babies, that'd be me.

Done Done DoneD-O-N-E DoneDone Diddy Done Diddy Done Done DoneSomeone hand this Momma her time card, she wants to clock out! It wasn't even really that horrible of a day, really. Maybe it's cause it's Friday. I had to run some errands. I didn't feel like going but I went. Ava slept through two of them. Ten minutes into our Sams Club errand, I started having some intestinal distress. That was fun with J blabbing on an old cell phone to her imaginary friend, while Ava tried to stuff TP between my bottom and the toilet all while flushing for me.Someone tell me one day I'll actually get to potty in peace, please? lolSo I'm hot, tired and not feeling well and Ava's being a toddler, and J's whining about playing Webkinz and I just want Ava to take a nap, but she won't.The hubster comes home, and I look at him and I'm like.. I'm done. I want to be done being Mommy today. He said "Good luck with that" LOLSo after supper I'm feeling similar to how I felt in Sams Club today, only the
No 'poo for me!

Ok, confession time.I haven't used shampoo in almost 2 weeks.It's kinda cool, actually.It's also really amazing what 1C of water + 2 TB of apple cider vinegar will do for ones hair!!I came really close to giving up shampoo a couple years ago. The hubster thought I was crazy back then. (he still does too, but he's not saying anything this time LOL)I was reading about it being better for curly hair if you DON'T shampoo. Plus the girls' hair looks fine and they barely use shampoo. I practically had to tie Johanna down to get shampoo on her head once a week. :-PSo yay, no more struggles in that area.Anyone else 'poo free??Anyone up for a "No 'Poo" challenge? Think about it. :)

This weeks' theme is "Tiny".In honor of Monday being Ava's 18 month birthday (can you believe) it? I thought I'd post a newborn pic of her. She was just a week old here. She was SO tiny to us. J was born weighing 9lbs 7oz. Ava was 6lbs 10 oz.Not to mention she seems SO tiny here, compared to how she looks now. :)

Is it bad...
2007-07-25 07:27:00
that I was really excited this morning, to be able to look out my windows? The past few days, you can't see out in the mornings. The dew point has been SO high here, that they are all fogged up on the outside. Not a good sign.This morning however, the dew point is a mere 68. I'll take it!Could be worse. Those of you out there in other areas of the state are having really hot, 100+ weather. So I'll take my 90's and deal. LOLWe've been busy. We girls' started up swimming lessons this week. We also have company arriving this weekend. I need to work on finding the guest room again. It seems we get it all cleaned out for guests, and then they guests leave, and it goes back to being a catch-all room again. UGH.Hope everyone is staying cool! I'm off to go work on my WW pic.

Wow, Look who's actually posting?? ME! LOLI apparently really suck at keeping up here, don't I?I think I got a little too addicted to Facebook. :-P Between that and household, uhhh, "duties" and my boards and email, I don't seem to bet over to the ole blog too much. :(Not to mention I'm now a Webkinz addict. LOLThings here are going pretty well. I'm just getting over a fun old chest cold. The Hubster seems to have it now. Lucky him.Johanna's turned 6, lost 1 of her front teeth, and the other one is about ready to fall out. Actually, it won't surprise me if she comes home today w/o it. LOL Her teacher yanked out her first one. She was afraid J was going to swallow it. I tried to yank out the other one for her yesterday, but she wasn't going to let me. I think she wants her teacher to do it again. LOLShe's loving Kindergarten! It's just amazing to me what they learn in K these days.... I remember going 1/2 day and having a nap time and snack time and story time. Johanna is READ

I just noticed that's it's 11/11 and I'm writing this at 11:11am. LOLI always notice weird times like that. I'll just happen to glance at the clock and it'll be 4:44pm or 10:10am, or 2:22pm. That one is a favorite, since Johanna was born at 2:22pm. :)WHY I notice the odd times, is beyond me. Maybe it's just because they are more noticeable. LOLHope everyones Sunday is going well. The Hubster is off taking pictures. I should be clenaing something, or maybe taking down our H'ween decorations. LOL I've been too sick to take them down, and I'm better now, plus it's nice out, so I really should. LOLI've been busy playing Webkinz and d/l-ing the beta version of YIM. Hopefully this version will solve my YIM issues. More often than not, I've had to use the web version. I can send messages on the old, regular version just find, but I don't always receive them. Then everyone thinks I'm being a snob and ignoring them. LOLI've also got all caught up on Facebook, and successfully Mas

Today's Theme is "Flexible". I'm posting this picture for a couple of reasons. Not only is she physically flexible... and don't you wish you still had the same flexibility today, you did as a child? But also, she was and still is my "go with the flow" kid. :) As long as she's with us, she's up for anything (most of the time anyway) . As a baby, I didn't need to worry about her schedule. She was happy to be with her Momma, and would just fall asleep wherever. LOL

Blogger has been taking fooooorever to publish my posts. So now watch, this one will fly right through! LOLMy antibiotics are slowly kicking in and I've been feeling more like myself every day. The Hubster on the other hand... after 3 days of staying home from work, I suggested he go to the Dr. too. :) He's now got some antibiotics too. :)Johanna has a long weekend. We had a fun day at the mall yesterday. She got a haircut and a new Webkinz, I also bargained with her. She could get the Webkinz, if I got to yank out her VERY lose tooth. So she now has now front teeth! :)She's been running around singing "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth!" LOLI told her her classmates will think they have a new studen tin class when she returns to school on Tues. LOL

I really need to update my user-pic over here. Ava looks SOOO small!I was clearing out some thing sin my Photobucket account yesterday. I found a bunch of videos I had made when Ava was about 6 months old! That seems SO long ago. Even hearing Johanna's voice on the videos, she sounds so different now.These children are certainly growing up so fast. Lost teeth, language explosions.How do they keep getting older while I stay the same age? ;)This, I want to know. :)

So a few weeks back I was selling some stuff on ebay. After auction end, I get a message from a buyer, TELLING me she will pay me that next Friday, which was 8 days later. I generally require payment w/in 7 days... but figured, fine w/e. I wasn't too fond of her attitude, but just let it slide.That Friday came and s he paid and I shipped and she left me feedback and I got busy... which was a good

So, Ava's been pretty much PT'd since Early July. She decided right before we left for our vacation this summer that it was time. That was interesting. I managed to convince her that while on vacation we needed pull-ups and not undies.Once we got home, we were good to go with the undie wearing. :)PT-ing, at out house is a long process. As soon as we see interest in the whole using the potty thing,

So the other night, after a Geo-Caching adventure, The Hubster and J noticed tons of Queen Ants flying around.For a while now they've been blabbing about an Ant Farm, but I guess when you send away for the ants, you don't get a Queen. So they collected one or two and are keeping them in some Temp housing outside.SO despite the fact that I had 8 million errands to run today (I was basically gone fr

A far contrast from J, who was all "go with the floooooow".Sunday, I sorted through the girls' closet. I got rid of a lot of summer stuff, and drug out the fall stuff, incl. some longs sleeved things! ACK!Anyway... since I was able to thin out the drawer that contained Ava's swimsuits, I
