A Mystery and Stuff...

I survived.

My "mommy" genes kicked into gear and karate chopped the flu right out of my system. Well, actually I still feel generally yucky, but it's nothing I can't handle. Although Squirt is deciding to go for round 2, so maybe I'll not be so lucky next time.

Now on to the randomness of my thoughts here.

Yesterday I had a tootsie pop. I love tootsie pops. This one was blue raspberry though, and my taste buds were screaming at me that this was not right. I was extremely medicated yesterday though and didn't think much of it. Naturally, I finished it.



It wasn't until today when Little Man had one as well, that I realized why a blue rasberry tootsie pop is wrong. He came to me and said "does this have gum in it or chocolate?" Blue Raspberry is a Blow Pop flavor NOT a Tootsie Pop flavor. (I"m pretty sure it was just your basic flavors: Cherry, Grape, Orange and Chocolate when I was growing up, as I said before I love tootsie pops, so I think I'd know. I could just be crazy though?) So I had another and realized what my senses were trying to tell me... there is gum in the middle of this sucker, but my logic is saying chocolate. It's actually a very wierd sensation.... Okay, I might have gone a little heavy on the meds today:)

There... mystery solved. Now you've all been enlightened. I was going to put a picture of a Blow Pop on here as well, but apparently that is too "Adult Content" for Photobucket?!

My toaster also caught fire today. That was fun. Maybe I should have just stayed in bed.

I ache...

I'm not sure if that's a good thing or bad. My back hurts and I'm cold, but I'm sweating. Wierd... I'm breathing but very shallow-ly (is that a word?) , and every now and again I have to remind myself to take a deep breathe, due to the dizziness I start to feel. My arms feel EXTREMLY heavy, and I don't really want to eat (probably a first for me). When I move my head, I've got that kindof fog going on, like I'm moving in slow motion. I'm staring at my children but not really hearing them and I'm thinking.... Great, it's my turn.

Now hopefully the worst of it goes away in like 24-48 hours like it did for EVERY BODY else in this house.

Oh, but wait.

I'm mom.

I don't get the luxary of laying on the couch and watching the same movie over and over, demanding food and beverage every 5 minutes or having someone else clean up my puke, Nope, I get to do it all for myself, as well as still clean up/cook for/entertain the little piggies, woops! I mean angels. I'm starting to regret the kiss my little man had to give me yesterday. On the mouth. I knew this was coming. Who knows? Maybe I'll be fine tomorrow?!

Being a MOM is the best job in the whole world.

Drama Queen

All day I've been dealing with Drama. From my 5 year old. He's a boy, don't forget.

He stubbed his toe and fell to the ground, saying: "I can't take it anymore"

He needed a drink in the car and started whining: "If I don't get a drink I WILL DIE"

I've also heard "I can't deal with this right now"

And as he was going to bed: "You mean I have to lay here ALL NIGHT?"

And Squirt, he's just made me laugh today. I saw something crazy on TV and said "What the freak?" and he turned to me and said "What da feak? what dat mean mommy?" He's talking all the time now, and I can finally understand MOST of it.

So most nights I sleep alone. I've grown accustomed to the space. I sleep in the middle of the bed, wrapped in the blankets with all 4 pillows. What ever space I don't hog, my dog takes the rest. (I don't care what your feelings are about my dog sleeping in my bed. I have the space and he keeps my feet warm!) Anyway, so last week on a night when I actually got to sleep with my husband (I mean that in a literal way thank you... get your mind out of the gutter) apparently I didn't share the bed so well. He said I rolled over, must have bumped into him, cause I felt his arm, then put my hand on his face, felt around (totally waking him up) and then I totally slugged him (in the back or arm or body somewhere). Then I rolled over and went right back to sleep.

It's nice to know that I try to defend myself even in the dead of sleep! He'll probably opt to sleep on the couch this week:)

Valentines Day

I'm not real big on these type of holidays, I always kindof feel like we should save the money rather than get gifts. But Hubbie does enjoy these holidays so today I woke up to a box of chocolates, and the boys each got a monster truck and a box of mike & ikes. Nothing says love like a monster truck. of coarse Little Man had to ruin the moment, rather than saying thank you he said "next year for valentines day, can you get me 2 monster trucks?" Hubbie said he didn't want any of my chocolate and I most certainly was NOT going to share with my kids, so I had fun taking bites out of all of them to see what they were. (It didn't come with a guide thing). Don't worry I'll finish them all later!

I did go hiking today, with my dog, at Thunderbird Mountain. There were a ton of couples around, and I finally decided I need to run the 2nd half of the trail to get away from all of them, when I came around a turn to find a couple staring off into space, the guy enjoying the view with his hand on his girls butt. So me and Coop had an awesome jog, I'm still red faced and he's passed out on my cold kitchen tile floor. I'll probably not be able to walk tomorrow! I came home around 5, whipped up some homemade (and darn tastey) Chicken Noodle soup for my poor sick hubby (he has a cold, you know how guys are!?) and sent him out the door to work.

I'm now going to end this lovely holiday by going to bed at 9! Awesome.

Today, while bored to death at work, I compiled my "To Do" list for this evening. Another lovely friday night of cleaning!! You know you're jealous.

As always my "To Do" lists are very long. So this one I made in the order I want to do it in. I got through:

1. Go to the library on the way home from work
2. Clean my bathroom (woops, haven't done that in a while... blah...)
3. Sort my laundry

and then #4 is: fold the clean laundry. So I piled it high on my bed and stared.... No, I think I'll wait on 4. But see, and this is stupid, I can't move on to #5 (do the dishes) until #4 is done, but I just don't want to do #4.

Also on the bottom of the list with stars around it is: **No Computer!!** Well, I had to check ebay, cause I had bid on a new Wii Fit game (becuase 32 days of owning it, and it's scratched :( and won't play ) so I had 2 minutes until my auction ended and i was getting a smokin deal... and then I thought well I'll just check my email real quick. I got distracted and with 30 seconds left, somebody swooped in and TRUMPED MY BID! Well that just ticked me off, so I browsed ebay some more, then checked facebook, then blogger, then my friends blog, then realized she had a link to a friend that I didn't have, then I ended up on someone's blog I don't even know, but it was really interesting. And here I sit an hour and a half later... Still stuck on #4 and blogging. I think I'll throw the list away and make a new one. And maybe sleep on the couch cause I really don't want to fold that laundry!
