Mountain Girl Silver - Hand-Stamped Customized Silver Jewelry - Portland, Oregon

Ohhhhh my gosh,,, I mean seriously, I don’t want to blog about the fact that I’ve been wiping up vomit for the last (almost) 36 hours, so I won’t… OR.. the fact that our Spring Break beach trip was cut two days short due to massive amounts of vomit coming from the mouths of my children.  We get to the beach on Monday, having a grand old time, and then BAMMMMM in the middle of the night both of em…. just barfin’ steadily.  NASTY…  I still haven’t come down with it yet, and yes, I’m rebuking it in the name of the Lord!!  So we got home whenever it was, and commenced the steady flow of laundry, which, I should be downstairs doing the dryer trick, but I’m not… I’m sitting here in front of my computer, totally bitter that I wasn’t able to go to pilates this morning due to the lack of childcare at my expense, and so I’ll just sit here and continue to be bitter.  The silver lining was that I was able to stamp like a mad-woman yesterday, and just about got caught up on all pending orders…. again.. almost caught up.  Then I headed to Michaels with a pretty hefty list my husband sent me with to get “craft supplies” so that our kids would have something to do on this lovely RAINY spring break we’ve got going on, while they are mending from the vomit plague…. and then I went to the Farm store to get our dog a new dog brush, because we’ve needed one of those forever now… and then I went to the Aquarium store over in Oregon City and got myself a new Aruba Butterfly Fish… (the yellow and black one there to the right)..  He’s pretty cool… pretty mellow, and everyone seems to be leaving him alone.  It’s always nailbiting putting a new fish into the community… you never know who’s going to feel intimidated, and who’s going to fin-nip. But he’s groovin.  

So last night, watch LOST, go to bed, and Anders starts puking again at 4am…  at this point, I mean, all I can do is just lay there and try to analyze why in theeeee world or HOW in the world he could still be puking.  What is left to puke. His little body can only hold so much stuff ya know??   Anyways, so I made my way down to the couch, left the hubby upstairs with the vomit-ridden kids (afterall,, he brought this nasty virus home from Vegas with him)…  and I tried to get some shuteye on our couch… with the dog, and two cats mind you… comfy …  yah…. right..

So here it is, morning (almost afternoon at this point),, I’m still sitting here NIGHTMARE ALICE style, drinking cold green tea, listening to the kids fighting… Maggie is screaming because apparently Anders just wiped a booger in her hair…. and the sun is trying to come out, but is losing the fight… my house is a total trainwreck, I’ve got about a dozen phone calls to make, supply orders to be made, and I’m just totally and utterly not even motivated to do squat…   All the while fretting what I’m going to make for dinner tonight that the kids will inevitably turn their noses up at, and fretting what I’m going to do with them tomorrow, and the next day and the next day and the next day……….

I’m feeling the need for a real vacation.  Good thing we’re going down to California for Easter.  Me and the kids anyway….  Until then, I’ll just dream of the sun, dream of warmth, dream of good health and good company…..   I’m going to go take a shower now….   if I feel like it….   blah….
