Here we are another weekend closer to Thanksgiving.....
I am thankful that my children are able to voice their opionions to me , even if I may not like or agree with what they have to say.
Lydia missed Mommy & Me yesterday, she's had fever readings of 99.1, 101.1 and 99.9. Poor thing. It just started where she was hot. But now she's got a runny nose and her throat's red and swollen looking. Owen and her both hacked through the night. So we were in bed and sleeping by 915pm - all of us but daddy....he'd rather sit up and watch Tv.
I thought a venture out to get a few much needed groceries at the local store, no names mentioned, would do the kids some good. NOT! They wanted everything under the sun, wouldn't stay w/me and just didn't want to listen. And to make matters worse the cashier irritated me, she said my internet coupon that Id recently printed out was "FRAUD", okay I felt like saying "lady, listen it's not like I have fake money or monopoly game money here, cut me a freakin break!" She made me feel like I had fake counterfeit money. I may as well of, she didn't care! I told her in a not so nice voice I didn't want the items then. She proceeded to ask me IF I WANTED MY COUPONS BACK! OMG this lady was about ready to see an unleashed mother!!! lol I said "yes, I'll take them to walmart and save even more money because your $3.19/pkg of stuff costs me $2.00 there and I'll save 50 cents on top of that!!!". I grabbed my receipt and walked out the door w/my cart!!!! PEOPLE!!!!!!
Ive been making my Christmas lists (not for me that's for sure) and have decided there is no sense in buying a ton of toys for the kids, they get way too much anyways! And we're so busy Christmas morning they usually don't get to open half of what they get from Troy & I and Santa. So I have no clue other than tractors, a belt and a placemat for Owen (if you read this and your a gift buyer for Owen, dont you dare steal my ideas). he wants Stinky the garbage truck, I say NO WAY. It's $50, not educational and not justifyable!! Lydia is the easy one this year. Ive got my ideas and such. Ive got Owen's teacher and Lydia's mommy and me teacher all done, my 1 sister-in-law is about done, Troy I want to get 1 more thing for him and the rest is on paper for now.
I still haven't gotten any hours at work. I haven't worked in 4 wks, it'll be 5wks Monday. Im starting to get kind of antsy and wonder about applying somewhere where I can have more hours. I don't know that I want change though, especially before the holiday's and I really like most of my co-workers. :-)

Update..........(sigh)
I knew with typing last night about Lydia never wetting in public ID SET MYSELF UP TO BE A LIAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We left the house this morning, she was asked if potty was necessary and she said no. So we dropped off Owen, ran a few errands, pulled in the parking lot of Mommy & Me, she said PEE as I was grabbing my purse and getting out of the car. I said "yes, We can go as soon as we get inside". TOO LATE! She'd already soaked her unders, her pants and her car seat!!!!!!!!! (I hate washing car seats!). So we changed inside school.
She did so well at school, even though I thought she didn't at first. She loves to paint. We painted turkeys and they'll be there next week to take home. They're so adorable!!! Went to lunch with my best friend and she just seemed tired! But she was good! She was even good while mommy cleaned Aunt Joanne's house!!! That's amazing. because there is lots of neat stuff for her to get into.
Owen called me as I was pulling into the farm driveway and said "please bring my boots". So that meant he was milking cows today! He loves that!!! I dont know that he really helps. But it gives him a break from me, and more time with Grandma Hill and Daddy.
That little boy is just waiting around for the snow to fly and I am afraid it's going to happen sooner than we think. Fingers crossed that we're just safe!!!
BEDTIME UPDATE:
Last night Owen was sleeping by 930 and Lydia 945. Daddy carried Lydia to her bed and at some point between 2 and 4am she was back with me! Did NOT want to get up this morning. And fell asleep on the way home. SO she took HER FIRST NAP in many many many many days from 145-445pm!! YAY! Hoping for no purple under her eyes for their pictures tomorrow!!!

Bed Time Night #3
Last night Lydia AGAIN slept in her bed, through the night!!!!
They were both sleeping by 915pm. Much to stay for tonight- but we've still got time for a miracle. Daddy's on bathtime duty, so they're suddsing it up now.
Last 2 nights we've ate, played, painted, bath and bedtime.
Lydia ate 3 helpings of spaghetti and Owen 1 1/2 tonight. They picked all day long. Mainly Lydia. She's like a homeless....I hungry I hungry is all she says all day long. She's constantly eating. I dont think it's a problem. But she's also been wetting her pants 4-6 times a day! It's driving me crazy. I can't tell if it's because she's too busy, I know it's not because she doesnt have access. When were in public she's NEVER peed her pants.
Tomorrow we have a TON of errands to run starting at 815am to 2pm. Im sure I'll be exhausted come night time.
Wish me luck for 930pm or before tonight.
