Second Randomness

Sick. Kids. Two words that when put together SUCKS. I will say that I am so very blessed and thankful that my kids only get sick every now and then and that they are not 'sick' with a horrible disease. Anyways, my kids have that croupy crud that basically everyone has right now and I am so far beyond ready for them to be back to their old well selves. My husband passed down a LOVELY trait to my kids that he has: coughing too much induces vomiting; pretty explanatory. I have cleaned up more vomit in the past 4 days than I ever imagined. Poor Cash got up sometime during the night and puked in the bathroom floor; however, he did try to 'clean' it up by pulling an almost "Big Daddy" and just spreading a towel on top of the vomit. Crue has puked somewhere around 3 times since yesterday morning: twice on the couch and once in my freshly detailed skinny van. Oh well. Bryn puked Friday night in her bed and hasn't since then. I am hoping that tonight will be a good night.

The weekend was a good one; Derek got to come home Friday night, but had to go back this afternoon. We went to Amarillo yesterday to eat dinner and to get Cash t-ball stuff. The fact that my baby is old enough to play a team sport makes me sad. Having Derek home for the weekend is always a nice break on me. Whenever the boys are fighting I just call on Derek for backup and this morning after I had cleaned up all the vomit and changed the 10,000th diaper I HAD to have a break, so I just got the keys and told Derek I would be back in a bit. Of course, my idea of a break consisted of checking the mail, getting a tea, and then coming home; 20 minutes tops.

After eating BBQ last night at Cattle Call it was time to get back on the Herbalife Wagon today. I have been back on Herbalife since last Monday and doing better than I had expected. I passionately hate dieting. I have always had weight problems and have always had to diet and the sheer idea of dieting makes me want to punch a skinny bitch in the face. Sorry. However, in the same sense, due to the fact that I know what kind of awesome results I can get by dieting right, it is almost a 'high' whenever I put on a pair of jeans and they are loser than the last time I put them on and when I step on the scale and see the numbers going down; it's like I need to diet more and more. I have done just about every diet out there and Herbalife is the one true diet that does not make me feel deprived and allows me to have a 'splurge' day usually once a week and still have awesome results. I guess enough about the dieting part; this isn't an infomercial.

Our house is now for sale. We are in the process of buying another one here in Fritch and so time to sell ours. It would be an ideal house to buy, flip, and either rent it out or sale it for a big profit. Hopefully we will get a buyer quickly so I won't have to start stressing about it. Off the subject, but a Dairy Queen commercial just came on... I saw on DQ's billboard dilly today that they now have shrimp baskets... WTF!? I do not know whether to haul ass to the toilet and vomit or drive as fast as the skinny van will go to get one!!??

Bedtime is an awesome thing. Unlike the inventor or Capri Suns, the inventor of a set bedtime should be put on a pedestal and brought sugar cookies hourly. I say unlike the inventor of Capri Suns because whoever invented "juice in a bag" should be put on death row. This alleged inventor obviously did not have kids and hated people for having kids, so therefore, figured he could punish them by putting a sticky juice in a bag so that children can squeeze it out everywhere.

I will close for now because this blog tonight is basically all over the place. I have a somewhat boring week: packing, cleaning, and possibly (uhggg) mowing and weed eating my yard.
