Days that just suck.....

So this week has been extremely annoying....and it's only Wednesday. For starters, I'm exhausted. I'll be 20 weeks pregnant this week and I am definitely feeling it. So being exhausted along with all of the other "fun" things that I've dealt with this week is just......ugh.  

Yesterday was possibly the most awful day in the history of awful days. Can ya tell that I'm feeling sorry for myself? I decided to get out my Fall decor. Yes, I know it's August. No, I don't care that people think I'm crazy. 

So...... I was happily decorating my humble abode when I noticed that the tiny, light up pumpkin that Fluffy Cheek had been playing with was missing it's battery.

 "Vi, did you see the battery to this?" I asked her. "Yes. I ate it." She said. Complete panic mode. Loaded up the girls, got to the ER, had 2 sets of x rays done, and 3 hours later we  left. She lied. Didn't eat it. Just wanted to give me a freaking heart attack. Mission accomplished, kid. Here she is wearing her souvenirs from the x ray tech.

We got home, I threw myself into the chair and tried to "1, 2, 3" myself into calmness. I got up to go light a candle and stepped on a busted twinkle light. Guess who did that......Violet. So I hobble into the kitchen, dig the glass out, and grab my lighter. I got to the candle and jerked it off of the shelf rather quickly. Guess what....it was still lit....and now I am covered in hot wax. 

I gave up after that. My life should be a comic book. Or a high grossing movie. There is no way that these things happen to other people. I'm just "lucky".......joy. 

I did eventually get some of the decorating done. Which put me in a better mood. 

But I am hoping and PRAYING for no more days like yesterday. I am thankful that my daughter is a liar and didn't eat the battery.....but geez. 

Life Updates

So it has been a minute and a half since I've done a blog. My life has been so crazy hectic that I have barely had time to turn around. A good crazy hectic....but still hectic nonetheless. So let's see, where to begin.....

We have been happily living in West Texas for a little over 1 year. That's a record for us! We've never stayed away from "home" for this long. I think that it is very possible that, God willing, we are here for the long haul. It's a great little-big town. I mean.....it has a Target AND a Starbucks. Enough said. ;) 

The girls are doing well. They will soon welcome a little brother (woo hoo!!!! I can close up shop!) and they are very excited about that....as well as their father. Who will no longer be the only strand of testosterone in the house. Of course I'm ecstatic also. It will be different for sure! But I'm looking forward to it very much. :) 

My dear husband finally talked me into being one of those.....minivan drivers. Ugh. I cried as I watched my Jeep get smaller and smaller in the distance. I did have an excellent view. The whole freaking van is a window. I was extremely irritated about the whole thing until something magical happened. I pushed a single button.....and the back door flew open. Hands full of children and groceries, I fell in love with that ugly, pregnant roller skate. It is freaking fantastic and if you have more than 2 kids, you need one. 

That pretty much sums my life up in a nut shell as of now!! I'm going to try to do this more often. Assuming that I have time to sit down. ;)
