LICE

By the way...I should warn you...this next post is from the Onion..so please do not take it seriously..
Or you can if you like..LOL!

Apparently...lice are no longer just for children, the poor and under priveledged.....

What?
Are you guys hugging lots?
Sharing your combs on bathroom breaks?
Wearing each others hats?
What up senate?
Didn't mommy tell you that you have to be careful what you share?

(anyone itchy yet?)

For more on this story.....

Eighteen senators were sent home from Congress after a routine screening found an infestation of nits, larvae, and adult parasites living on the scalps of high-ranking Washington lawmakers.

My kids love this....

and so do I....lots of fun...

Sick of being sick.....

Let's review how Robyn has spent her week....

Sunday? Jeremy puked on me twice.
Monday- he nailed me once...
Tuesday? Gracie got me twice...
Wednesday was puke free for me, but hubby had it bad and had to stay home from work...
Today? well...let's see...I have already been nailed..and it is only 8am...
Jeremy woke up at four thirty...
and had a massive temper tantrum because he didn't want to go back to bed...
this after I had insomnia till 1 am...
and then was up again at 2am with acid reflux until 3.....
At 4.30 am Jeremy woke up, and had his freak out, and it took me until 5.oo
to get him settled,
(Someone would think I was pregnant I was up so much...)
after which he decided that coming to bed with mom was an acceptable solution.
He starts to fall asleep and at 5.30....
without warning....
the flood gates opened.....
all
over
my
side
of
the
bed.


And I was having such a nice dream about the children's book I am going to write....
(Dr. Seuss...if you please
He just threw up all over me...
Not over here...
Not over there....
But right on me.....
This I swear.....)

and do you think the ungrateful little man puked on hubbys side of the bed...
Oh...no....
If you please...
He was kind enough to throw up
ALL OVER ME...

Apparently the other four times just weren't enough....

and here I was concerned I wouldn't have anything to write about today....

Here are pictures of last years puke fest which landed Jeremy in the hospital for a week....
this is getting to be a yearly routine.

Heads or Tails!

Welcome to Heads or Tails Tuesday..Hosted by the wonderful Barb
at..... well....
Heads or Tails...LOL!
This weeks challenge was HEADS "case" or TAILS - anything that rhymes with Case....
so join the fun...and use your imagination.
She made it easy this week....you can do one...or both if you feel the urge...

I decided this week to do HEADS-CASE
and show off the wonderful presents my daughter Brandy brought back from Thailand for us....in her suitCASE
(except that I forgot to take pics of Jeremys...but one of them is a rat...who wants to see a rat?

so enjoy...

There is a story behind this wallet...
My daughter bought some of her Thai friends a purse while she was visiting...
and aparently for them it was more then a months worth of their income.
They were so touched that they gave Brandy this wallet.
(and she gave it to me)
I love it because it is a symbol of my daughter's generous spirit.

I LOVE this purse.
It is the first evening bag I have ever had, and it is awesome.

These are cool too, but they will have to wait to be worn..
Or I am sure Autumn will take them off for me...

This is the outfit that Brandy bought for Gracie...
She will probably wear it this summer.

Sleep is overated...

The title says it all.
Before I had children,
I slept blissfully....
Wrapped in the deep arms of slumber....
Carried away by the sweetest of dreams...
While angels sang their lullabies in my ears...
To awaken to rays of glorious sunshine.....
To the wonderful refrains of the Hallelujah chorus




And then I had Jeremy....
nough said.

What the Heck?!?!

This was my morning.
Kid one. (Gracie)
WAAAAAAA! (3:30 am...)
and 4, and 4.30 and 5 and
You guessed it....
6:00 am

and this is Kid 2
WAAAA WAAAAAA!
5:45 am.....

Robyn didn't sleep much last night...
cause not only did I stay up with babies.....
I also worked late in the basement trying to clean it....

So...by the time church rolls around...
I am actually not sure I am feeling like going...

What fun will it be if Kid 1, and Kid 2 are screaming...

But like good little Christians we go anyway...

When we get there...
Pastor Paul calls Kendal over, and says...
"I need to talk to you..."
"You better go get Robyn.."

Oh Oh...
That often means bad news...

So Kendal comes and gets Robyn...
who walks over begrudgingly and with a bad attitude....

Paul says..."I have to talk to you guys..."
"OK...so talk...."
"No, over here"
(I am thinking..this is bad, he wants privacy...)
He says...
"Are you in a good mood?"
I say...

"Depends what you have to say....."

Paul opens the sound booth door-to step in....


THERE IS BRANDY SITTING ON THE SOUND ROOM FLOOR!
OMG!!!!!
HOW DID SHE GET HERE?

Apparently she arrived last night, and showed up on her older sister's door...
(And was greeted by a variety of terms..none of which I am going to share here...)
This is a family friendly site.

For those who are new readers, she has been in Kelowna, and then Thailand for the past several months, and we weren't expecting her back yet....

She will be here for the next two months, working to save money for University....

Here are some pictures of the brat we just had developed...
There will be more at a later date.
(These are from her grade 12 grad)

I wish that I could say that my day got better after Brandy arrived...
(that part was obviously very cool)
but shortly after we got home from church
Jeremy started throwing up
Mostly all over me.

These two love each other...
