A Day in the Life-Wednesday



I started the day early. A little too early-3:30a.m. I woke up with a terrible stomach ache. I tried to sleep it off and ignore it, but ended up trying to take some Pepto Bismol. This did not help! Right when I thought it helped, I began throwing up :( After throwing up-I felt so much better! I was able to wash up and fall right back to sleep. I woke up at 7 am to my alarm and was queasy until lunch time.

I got ready for the day and went into the living room. I usually have daycare kiddos start showing up by 7:15, but today was another morning where they didn't show until 8:30 or so. So I watched the Today Show until Halynd woke up and wanted a drink and something to eat.

After all the kiddos arrived, we ate breakfast, Oatmeal Pancakes and blueberries, cleaned up and played for a little bit in the house while I straightened up the livingroom and made my bed. By then, it was time to go outside for a bit. Victoria, Donovan's sister came over for a little bit and played with the kids. They love her and call her "Teeto". She's awesome with them. She left a little before lunch time.

While the kids colored their lesson, I made sandwiches for lunch with yogurt, blueberries and strawberries. They love yogurt! We cleaned up from lunch, went potty and washed our hands. Ready for a nap, they laid down for the story. I have noticed that with Malachi getting older, he sleeps until around 9 each morning. If he does this and takes a nap-that boy will NOT go to sleep earlier than 11 pm. Even if he has been laying in bed for 2 straight hours. No matter how many stories he is told. SO, I did an experiment-he did not take a nap! And he was asleep last night by 9! I think we will just do naps when he is extremely tired from now on. He just sat up and played with his superheros and blocks while the other kids were napping.

When the kids woke up, they had their yummy snack of goldfish. Malachi and Halynd went with Donovan's dad when he got off of work! They asked and he was excited to take them :) Donovan made it home around 3:30 and just rested until the daycare kiddos went home.

Our Jeep is officially dead for now. It needs a new Head Gasket and a new Radiator. So! Until we can get those parts and fix it, we have a permanent driveway decoration. I am really excited about our new budget because not only are we able to give more, but we are able to pay off debt and save each month. This means that the Jeep will be fixed soon! Some awesome friends stopped by and offered us to borrow their car for a couple days. With me having the sonogram, and Donovan going out of town for work today and not making it into town until the time my appointment starts, we were wondering how to work out transportation! But we have great friends and they made that situation easy to figure out :) Thanks John and Angela!

We ran a few errands (Went to Walmart...) and headed over to Donovan's parents house for dinner. They grilled burgers out and invited us! They were delicious. Even had my favorite-salt & vinegar chips! Halynd ate a bowl of beans. She was even offered this bowl of chocolate peanut butter icecream, but wanted beans instead!


We went home after dinner and got the kids ready for bed. They were sweaty and stinky, so a bath was very good for them!

Donovan ready them their story of choice, "The Jungle Book". He tucked Haly into bed and I tucked Chi into bed. They were both out before 9, so Donovan and I watched "America's Got Talent" and then hit the hay!

Gentry Zoo

To celebrate H-bugs first birthday, we went to the Gentry Zoo on Monday! She loved it. Both her and Malachi are big time animal lovers. I'm not sure where they get that from ;) Haly kept her eye on the Emu's the entire drive. She did not like them. There's this look she gives when she's not sure of a situation, and the birds definitely got that look. We named this guy Ted. Doesn't he look like a Ted? We aren't sure what he is, so we named him. The kids and I flipped out when he decided to stick his entire head in our car before we could roll up the window. He drooled on my skirt. The nerve! This Camel also stuck his entire German Shepherd sized head in our window! The best experience by far was the Zebras. Malachi just puckered up and laid a smooch on this guy. When we told him to do it again he informed us that it was "yucky" and then proceeded to scream "IT'S A WOLF"-or an Alpaca...with his head in Donovan's window with the most hil...

A whole year with the little ladybug

Image
I know this is a little late, but we've been a little busy :) July 10th, 2009 at 12:36 a.m. 6 lbs, 12 oz. I cannot believe my little girl is already one! It seems like she's still just a baby, and she is my baby! Going through the parenting with Malachi, I didn't realize how much they really change. It seems like in just a few weeks, she exploded into a new person. *She is 18.4 lbs. and 27.5 inches long. *She has a head full of hair now that can be fashioned into rubber banded pigtails (horns). She will NOT keep bows in. She will eat them. *She is walking all the time and everywhere. *She is climbing on the couch, our bed, up stairs and any chair she can reach. *She has 6 teeth, 2 bottom and 4 on top. *She has kicked the bottle except for night time. Even then, sometimes she's so tired she just rolls over and goes to sleep. She's having a hard time drinking from a sippy cup because of how fast it comes out-she always spits it everywhere. *She eats ever...

Quiet as a church mouse

The idiom “quiet as a church mouse” definitely gives off some negative connotations. First thoughts are-why would a mouse be lurking in a church? The short answer to that is definitely goldfish crackers and warmth. Another is -Eww. Rodents. They’re so...rodent like. My nick name is Meg-a-moo, or Moo for short. This was lovingly assigned to me from origins unknown. No, My cries did not imitate that of a cow when I was a baby-It just seemed like a fitting name. In researching the starting point from hence “quiet as a church mouse”-it is clear that this, much like my nick name, has no definite origin. It is a well known fact, however, that mice are meek. They make little noise on their own and scavenge for food and a place to make their home. In the 16th century, churches did not store food-whereas, here in 2018, the kids literally CANNOT go more than an hour without sustience. Enter Goldfish crackers. Cue mice. I am a Children’s Minister at a church here in Fayetteville. The job desc...
