Mataya is a tuff girlie...

Well, let's see...
Monday... I was feeling kinda down and didn't accomplish much. Funny how that goes together. The kids had the day off from school and so we had a Mommy and kids popcorn and movie day and played some games. It was rainy and we did spend time together and had fun.... I'm feeling the need to have something to point at when the day ends.. I'm sure I'll get there today was us together.

Tuesday... well, that was my last post.

Wednesday... Is normally a crazy day in it's own right.. but when I was dropping Alisha off at preschool I saw that the back drivers side tire was very flat. I call Jeff and we coordinate the car switch while getting all four tires replaced. Throw all that's in tailed with that along with an extra trip to the library for this months book club book and a few more for the girls on top the the regular things that make that day crazy and I don't get home until 5:30 and really kinda wiped out! It's those kind of days that I really call on Skyler and I also run through the bed time line up... I'm done!!!

Thursday.... I was really surprised that it was Thursday I think Monday threw me off... I was very happy because I knew that we were going over to Chad & Erin's to play games and watch LOST. Jeff and I were going no matter what!!!!! I count that as a date night!! That might be sad but we have a lot of fun with them and never the same fun twice!! We love'em!!

Friday... Is normally the day that I look forward to all week Sunday is way good too just not for the same things!!!. It has been deemed scrap booking, movie, game and "Whateveryouwantnight". Alisha doesn't have school on Fridays and Skyler and Mataya had extra short school days. I thought I would get some extra things done and be ready for my Friday night. It was still early in the day and I was on My Space and Mataya found some blades to my rolling fabric cutter. Mataya was giving one to Alisha. Mataya thought they were round metal magnets. When things like that happen Skyler can't talk fast enough ... He just grabbed the blades from Mataya. In the process somehow Mataya's hand got cut on the back side from the little finger almost to the wrist. Skylers thumb also ended up missing a small chunk off the tip. Mataya was worried about what they were going to have to do to her.. I looked at her told her she was going to be fine. Then looking at her face I said "Do you want me to bring the camera?" In a soft crying voice she said "Yes.." Skyler watched Alisha and I called my Mom to come fill in after work while I'm driving down the freeway to the emergency room. Mataya did great!!! she told me about stories that she had read in the library books and she did really well even during all of the shots. I was focusing on her but it sure seemed like about 10 shots!! After she was done telling me about all the stories that she read she asked me to tell her a story. So we started telling one of those stories that each person tells one sentence then the next person adds. It was a great story about about a snake and a Caterpillar that were friends. several times the doctor was laughing at our silly story. She did a wonderful job 3 hours 13 stitches and some great pictures later we went home. I was very proud of her!!!

I'm gonna miss this...

Jeff stayed home sick today not feeling good and I'm sure really tired but he choose to help me around the house anyway. That was a great surprise. I've been in a funk lately. Just feeling like I can't make a big enough dent in things and limbo of moving in 3~4 months and having some things packed too soon to pack everything the rest of the things kinda haunt me and it's too soon to really look for a place.. yadda yadda and all that goes with that.. I just wanna pick out paint colors!! I'm having a hard time with it all sometimes. I feel like I should be sooo busy but I can't think what I'm realy suposed to be doing cuz most of it is too far away but I should be getting it done and I'm having a hard time making a list that seems resonable at this point. That and this huge feeling that I'm not measuring up to anything.. Very lovely!!

Yesterday the DVD player kinda got sick but didn't die and only showed things in black and white.. We were glad that it wasn't the TV and Jeff got a new DVD player last night. Today Jeff was home with me and he did the dishes and really fixed up the kitchen. I packed up a couple boxes of kitchen things that we don't use often but I still love and use for fancy fun things. With those things packed we can put things away like chips snacks and cereals. It feels great to get them off the table. I do look forward to getting a bigger place!! Then I was cleaning in the living room I was getting excited like I can pack the things that we need but really don't have room for in this house and we can have the feeling of fitting while we are still here and maybe we can have friends over!!!! YEA!! I was also taking pictures of things to post on Craigslist. As I walked away to get the camera the white shelving above the TV FELL OFF THE WALL!!!! It's been up there for more then four months!!! I called for Jeff.. I was so shocked!!! The shelving and everything on it including Jeff's mission plate was on the floor. Jeff knew I wasn't doing well and he came in the room and said did you here somebody say "Get out!!" LOL!!!! He also said that it was really good that I was walking away or I could have been really hurt.
The TV that we were so relieved about yesterday was laying on the screen on the floor. I could still hear jungle book.... (Alisha didn't wake up..) Jeff helped me pick everything up. I felt so bad about his mission plate. He thinks he can make some phone calls and get another one made. Well, on the side where the TV landed hardest is purple and the left side of the screen is kinda normalish.. The kids don't seem to mind that. They also don't seem to mind the scraches about the size of my fist on a couple of places on the screen either. After getting it all cleaned up and realizing that for sure the plate was not fixable.. I went in the kitchen. I love my kitchen!! (even though it's the size of a very small apartment kitchen.) I love the colors in there and I LOVE my IKEA cabinets!!! The song "You're Gonna Miss This" (or at least that's what I think it's called) comes on.. I'm just looking around my kitchen.. Even if we get a bigger kitchen which would be easy to do really. I will still really miss the personality that my kitchen has. I love my microwave too!!! I was feeling a long way from happy... feeling like another day of not making it.. feeling like I want some chocolate and jammies climb in bed and just call this day done!!! I walk over to the cabinet to get a glass and Jeff came up and asks "You need a drink?" I said.. "Oh yeah!!" He said "I love you." then he starts singing with the radio and slowdancing with me in the kitchen singing in my ear and kinda laughing.. "You're gonna miss this... You're gonna want this back...." "You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast.." "These are some good times.." Then we both really started laughing!!!! .. I told him he was a total butt!! We were still laughing!! I love times like that!!! He was right!! This is the stuff that makes this day stand out from the rest. These are the days that we are gonna miss!!! All too soon everything about this house and our time here will be memory. I love that Jeff was there with me today!!! I'm really feeling the dent we made in the house today. I finished getting almost all the picutures done.. We still need to post the ads on Craigslist.. Anybody want a halfish purple screened TV?!?!?! LOL!!!!!

Happy Valintines Day!!!

Jeff & I are doing GREAT!!!!! Today he surprised me and came home at lunch and handed me the mail and at the bottom of the stack was a Valintines Day Card he smiled when I looked for the address.. The card was perfect too!! The outside said "I'M CRAZY FOR YOU!" The inside said "Maybe I need a few therapy sessions on your couch." We were laughing smile'n and some kissing too. I so LOVE him and the us that we make.
