Sleeping beauty

Well, maybe not beauty, but I did sleep!! I went to bed and fell asleep, ON MY OWN by 10 pm last night. This is a huge deal for me. Slept soundly till about 1 am ( Zoe had to go potty) and got up early to take Katey to the church parking lot for her field trip. Now if I can only fall asleep like that with the CPAP machine and keep it on. I am so tired but think I might need to work out. Kinda ate a big, ( well HUGE) breakfast. Something about being up early ( even by only half an hour or so) seems to make my body think it is starving. I will eventually get pictures of Emilys birthday and my parents visit on here if I ever stop fiddling with facebook. Those darn quizzes are so addicting!
Ok Jillian( creator of the work out dvd I use) here I come.... i think. Does pushing the cart around costco count as a work out? They ARE heavy!
sigh.

clothes

All over there are clothes! I have been trying in vain to oraganize the kids stuff from outgrown, hand me downs and just plain get rid of. We have zero storage and next to no closet space . We have ever changing weather ( almost shorts one day, long sleeves and sweaters the next, long sleeve jeans in the morning, skort and flip flops by afternoon, you get the picture) so storing a "winter" and "summer" wadrobe just doesnt work. THEN after I get it all sorted, with stuff put aside from the big girls for Sophie, etc. I have Katey clean out HER drawers. DUH. Now I need a NEW box for TONS of clothes and NO WHERE TO PUT THEM. sigh. I already have a system of whose are whose ( 1 dot for Katey, 2 for Emily, 3 for Sophie and 4 for Zoe. As they get passed on I add a dot to the tag, get it?) I am THIS close to assigning colors. seriously. Like the families with 30 kids that all wear the same thing. arrrgh. DOn't even talk to me about socks.
If if fits ( or you can make it fit) wear it! Zoe hates socks so that makes that eaiser!
My t shirts keep dissapearing and ending up in someones laundry ( on the floor, under the bed, stuffed in the back of the closet) any guesses as to whom? (hint, she has drawers overflowing with clothes she doesn't wear because she wears the same three outfits and simply forgets the other put away clothes exist. )
Ok grouchy mama bear here better get some lunch.
Organizing here I come!!

just me

Well now that my parents have safely returned home its just me and the girls! I have been working hard to get back on a better sleep schedulue and diet. Been doing ok so far. I still have a lot of household management to get organized. ( like cutting our grocery bill for one) Worked out today, woo hoo. Took Katey to the ortho for braces tightned and a stern lecture about using her bands. What do I see sittign here ? yup two bands. And I get screetched at for nagging her. sigh.
Waiting on dinner at thats it for us! booooring.

Finally!

Ok , it has been cold ( to us) and rainy the entire two weeks my parents have beenhere. They have enjoyed a break from the teen temps and snow but I was terribly dissapointed all our normal warm weather and sun dissapeared. Well this is their last day and we had SUN! Still on the "chilly" side but we went to the harbor and did all the "touristy" things and we were practially the only ones there. The weather was just right and I even found a fish and chips place that is very close to my fav in the UK. Zoe did not do well in the little tour shops. Zoe and Shopping ( target and walmart or anywhere she can be strappped into a cart is fine) do NOT mix. Zoe touches. Zoe grabs. Zoe runs out the DOOR with what she grabbed!! The staff was understanding , they knew I was managaing four kids and probably have seen worse. She was running outside to show grandpa but I grabbed her. She had her hour out and was done. Blessed be it is supposed to be sunny and in the 70s the rest of the week. I am sad mom and dad have to miss it , but glad for two reasons. One, I can get off my fat ass ( sorry language) and walk, run, waddle, do SOMETHING for exercise, and the kids can get out of the house and play and off my back. Seriously. It is like they all superglued themselves to me. It doesn't help that mommy is getting crazy on the computer figuring out the bills and talking (yelling, swearing, crying) to myself . I think my older two are terrified of "THE BILLS". Even Zoe goes shhhh mommy is DOING THE BILLS. Everyone runs away from swatting range as fast as they can and the older two shush the little ones, which starts a loud fight over who shushed who and crying and then someone is pulling on me screetching, yeah you get the picture. It will calm down after a few cycles and I get the hang of what is paid when.
Now I am relaxing with some coffee and reading the paper with my dad.
Yay yay for sun on their last day here. :)

so busy

I haven't been on here much since I have had company and , ahem, been checking out facebook. I finally realized there is a new page of requests to do fun things, send things, etc and holy cow just wasted 47 minutes of my life. This deployment will go fast!
I made a super lasagna the other day and we are still working on it. Now time to get ready for Emilys b day tomorrow. We got our nails done today, what a treat. I am going to waddle on over to the couch and try not to go into a food coma. I have one full belly.
Now I have to try and wrap gifts with out trashing my pretty polish. sigh.
(this is why I usually do my own nails) Oh I did tye dye and no major disaster ( except the kit was so complicated tube thing i threw it out when I was done. Less mess my a@@!) but didn't take the suggestion to use gloves. So I look like I have been street boxing with blue and purple knuckles and fingers. The shirts turned out cute though! The gal at the salon got most of the dye off my hands and fingers but had to use a color polish to cover up the blue fingernails.
ok seriously, some one is gonna have to roll me away from this computer. I . am. so. full.
diet starts tomorrow?? or the next tomorrow? right??
mabye my scale is like 5lbs wrong. A girl can dream....

what the fork?

Yup, see the holes? I still can't believe no one noticed earlier. I should have held up the fork! It is still a mystery how it happened. Good thing it wasn't as serious at that kid with the fork in his nose! We are a talented family at getting injured.
