Just thought I would take a moment and check in!
I have been out of commission this week with the stomach flu. It was so horrible that I lost 10lbs in 4 days. I admit I like the weight loss but that was hardly worth it. The only other good thing was that I could snuggle with my kids all day and not worry about getting them sick too :) So I spent 2 days in bed while Vern took the best care of me.He is so awesome,I don't know what I would have done without him <3
Meanwhile..a snow storm happened outside while I was ill. It really was pretty.. but only because Vern didn't have to commute to work so we stayed inside where it was warm and watched it out the window. That's about all I like to do with snow,look at it/watch it fall ...from inside a warm house!
A blog from me would not be complete without a little bragging about my adorable kids!Maxine learned at the beach that she can jump over large objects and climb! So when we returned home we pulled out the doggy stairs we had purchased earlier. Lil Miss Independent Maxi is so proud of herself as she climbs on and off the couch using her stairs! Now she can bug her big brother while he is napping too! Sorry Chipper! ha ha Now his only "safe" spot is on the bed..until she figures that out too ;)
Maxine is a complete fur ball! The hair on her head is finally long enough for a pony tail and she is getting better about letting me do her hair and brush her...which is good because I have to brush her thoroughly every day to avoid knots and tangles and I have to put her hair in a pony tail to be able to see her beautiful face! ha ha I have to mention for Grandma Ellen (the lady we adopted Maxine from and a new dear friend of ours)that Maxine has her Mother's gorgeous eyes! They are round and black with a slight point on the outsides. When we first started looking at Maxine I saw a picture of her Mother and she is an exceptionally pretty Maltese. I knew Maxine was going to be pretty also but I am pleased to say that she looks a lot like her Mother :) One last thing...I ordered the kids some shampoo and conditioner on line and I am anxiously awaiting it in the mail this week. BUT THE SUPER COOL PART?! I not only ordered it online but I ordered it online,in bed,from my cell phone! How cool is that!?!? I will also confess that I spent almost $30 on hair products for my precious dogs! They will be the cleanest,whitest,silkiest,flea free,tangle free and best dressed kids in town! I warned you I was shameless ;) I love my beautiful little family!
No rest for the weary,9 1/2 hour day tomorrow to make up for sick time lost and appointments rescheduling...time to "put on my big girl panties" and "git er done" for the sake of my loyal clients. I am not yet 100% but I am honestly to the point where I am happy to just "feeling like puking" as opposed to "actually puking".
Pray for me :)
