Bad night!
Got to sleep after midnight. Crista woke me up at 4:30 because the lightbulb in her nightlight burned out and she woke up in the dark. Her screaming woke Halle who also needed to be consoled before she could go back to sleep. Then I finally got back to sleep and before my clock could go off I hear Garry say,"Get Chelsie, she's puking" (this if you don't know is my cue to jump out of the bed, fumble in the dark until I can find the dog and then to drag her 75 lb butt into the bathroom so the puke will be easier to clean up). So I yell, "Get the lights" so I could find her. Got her in there in the nick of time. Only one tiny bit of puke on the carpet. What a way to start the day. G cleaned it up though, so he gets points for that (especially cuse it was only 20 after 5). The worst part about all of this is that her vomit wasn't the old normal yellow tummy acid/bile or whatever that I've grown accustomed to. It looked to me that there was blood in it. I wonder how much longer she will be around. Poor Chels. Anyway, my alarm was going to go off about the time Garry started to clean up the bathroom floor, so I just headed down to deal with little dog, who had of course peed in his cage over night. Oh well, a four day weekend lies ahead. I think I'll be able to squeeze in a little extra rest. And quality time with the kids and dogs of course. Any of which I would gladly clean up pee, or poop or vomit for at any hour of the night.
Not feeling sorry for myself of course. I've got a great life/family/home etc.... Its all good, I just wish I had been able to get 5 uninterrupted hours, that wouldda been sweet.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of my loyal readers (ha ha)

Hello All (All 3 of you, thank you... That is a huge improvement)!!
Last night was much better. I am a machine I tell you. I got tons of stuff done, my cold let up somewhat. Still went to bed with huge sinus headache, but at least I could breathe so I didn't bother with cold meds. Halle slept way better too - thank goodness. No big surprise here, I noticed 2 new teeth yesterday. No wonder the poor little sweetie was crying so much, that has to hurt so much. Me, the lousy mom didn't have any tylenol on hand for her. But I bought some last night so I will be ready if/when this happens again. Looking very forward to having the Scarano's over tonight. Crista gets so excited when she knows she's gonna see Mikey (and who could blame her?)

Have a great weekend everyone!!

Hello if anyone is still reading...
I bet Patricia is. Hey if you start a blog you gotta tell me! I feel like poop. Got a really bad cold. Halle was impossible last night. Perhaps its the teething. Thank goodness G took a turn with her. She still woke up a few times after that though, it was a very long night. Its so nice and calm and quiet here at work. Does that sound sick or what.
Well I hope someone reads this, and maybe posts to it. Otherwise I think my intrest is gonna fade...
Have a good day!

Hello,
It is rainy/windy. Umbrellas in the wind suck. You end up looking stupid and still getting wet. Walking dogs in the rain also sucks.
We closed the deal on the P'ville house yesterday. That's a big load off our minds. To celebrate we went to (of course) Friday's with the kids. They were so good and there was a clown there making balloon animals. Crista got a Clifford dog. She loved it. It was a very nice night (Mary had a coffee drink).
I'm so sick of this flegmy throat!! It's disgusting and I'm forever worrying about my breath. Its been with me for like 3 weeks already.
Hope you all have a good day,

Hello,
What's everyone up to? Nobody likes my blog- boo hoo. I dressed up at work today and by everyone's reaction, you would think i was a total pig every other day. Ha ha leave it to me to see something bad in a bunch of compliments. Slagel asked if i was trying to blow my image (as a total slob?). Funny. Anyway, I like all the attention/affirmation. Don't know what that says about me.
Kids are great. Crista had a play date with little Michael Sat. night. It was great. They play so cute together. Halle liked it too, but was out like a lite by 8:30 (thank goodness). Course Angus tries to kill Mikey everytime he sees him. Hopefully we can get that under control soon.
Have a great day, enjoy the sunshine!! It won't last.

Well, I've had a busy work week and took Tuesday off (it was 80 degrees). So I haven't even attempted to write here this week. You probably thought I'd given up on this already but I really like the blog, the very idea of it. If that makes me a dork, so be it. Hope everyone is having a good week. I am, in spite of the daily grind, lack of sleep, puppy pee etc... Life is amazing. Its so full of surprises. Sometimes you can see something you see everyday, but suddenly it is all different. I am feeling good today. Glad to have the weekend here. Hopefully more blog time next week than this week.
The kids are great (funny and sweet too). Halle got a tooth on Wednesday. Bottom right, in the front. I'm in a pretty good mood cause my hair isn't too frizzy. Please post to my blog, it will keep me interested in writing.
Have a great weekend.

hello, had a great halloween. the weather was amazing!! i actually went out on saturday night. that was the second time i went out drinking w/ friends this year. weird. i had a great time. saw dave's planet. i'm on their website, but is v. unflattering so i wouldn't reccomend viewing my pic.
