Down with the sickness

I believe we are coming down with the sickness...Loki's had a little bit of a runny nose and today she's started to run a slight fever. So before lunch she got some baby tyl to try to combat that, but she is not wanting to take her nap today, so far she's slept for 30 minutes, and then started crying, and I know I should have let her 'cry it out' but with her not feeling well I just didn't have the heart to do so. Loki just does not feel good right now, the poor thing. But I did lay her back down to try and get her to sleep for a little while longer, and She went down without too much fussing. She's got her favorite blanky and her Coco bear with her, and that tends to make her a little happier.
After she's up from her nap it's time to get the house more picked up, we've got Thanksgiving here on Saturday and I just need to get everything a little more tidy.

Well baby is up, so that's all for now

it is done!

All of the grocery bags that have been cluttering up the house are gathered and those that were not made into yarn by Saturday are bundled up by the front door waiting to go with us on our next grocery trip to be recycled. And when we made a quick trip to the store last night all the bags that we got were turned into yarn before I went to bed. I'm quite proud of myself for that. Turns out that if you fold the bags up the same night as you get them it's easier to cut them up for yarn...who knew?
Anyways, I'm quite proud of myself for getting that all taken care of. In other garbage bag news I've frogged my original re-usable bag I had been working on in favor of creating my own pattern to use to make it more like the ones you would buy, as opposed to being a circular base. So we'll see how that turns out.

Antibiotics are not my friends.

Cleaning and organizing

I'm working on getting the house back into shape, especially with all the changes that we are hoping to happen soon everything needs to be in a much more organized fashion and so I'm working on that now.
Besides, having a cleaner house makes me feel better about myself, and lately I need that. So...cleaning has been happening. the kitchen still has a little ways to go, but it's getting there. Next to conquer today will be the clean laundry, and tidying up the bathroom. But for now I am going to have a little relax and crafty time, because by Saturday any plastic bag that has not been turned into yarn or is being used as a trash bag is getting recycled and taken out of this house, I have too many bags as it is.

I also heard back from my boss again, and now my paycheck is expected to arrive tomorrow or Thursday by fed-ex overnight mail. So, there's that good news at least. Still looking into the information to become my own IBO, especially since Husband knows a few people who are wanting to work from home, as do I. So if I did start up my own business to contract out to Arise they could work under me, which would mean a lot more work for me, along with loads of paperwork (but I do so love my paperwork) So that plan is still under review, but is on the table to be examined.

frustration

It's very hard not to just vent out all my frustration in a blog post, but if I were to do that it could quite possibly get back to those people and hurt some feelings, so for now I just rein it in, don't rant and rave about the double standards of life and just try to let sleeping dogs lie.


In brighter news, I need to stay off the 'geek' boards on Pinterest because now I really want to watch Doctor Who, and while that isn't really a problem, the problem is finding time to go visit D so that I can watch it with her :-). But hopefully this week we'll both have time for a little get together.

And that's it for now, Loki is in her crib for a nap, and Ber is heading over for some sister time (we'll probably play Super Nintendo until Loki's up)

Life keeps running away with time

And I just don't get anything done.


I'll try to post soon with an update of all the goings ons lately.

4 years

Today 4 years ago a man died whom I never got the chance to know. A man Husband loved, who raised him to be the man he is today, For that, I am grateful.
I do wish there had just been more time.
