random monday

1. i LOVE this little tree from our old house. its a miniature japanese maple i think. it shouldn't get any taller than 4'. i didn't want it to get in the way of the view. i wish i had brought it with me, along with my beautiful peonies.

2. friday stayed home and just chilled. saturday went up to lumber liquidators to look for some hardwood floors. thinking of doing the family room, dining room and the front entry for the first batch. went to eat a light, late lunch at granite city then headed to a nieces birthday party.

3. sunday was low key doing laundry and some grocery shopping. made yummy cheese fondue again.

4. saturday ham got sick, AGAIN. stuff coming out both ends, AGAIN. mike was a trooper and cleaned the puke out of the tub at 1am while i "tended" to ham. {more like watch him sleep but don't tell mike}

5. so both kids are home from school today. thought they both could use the rest and a day away from other kids.

6. i have to say that going to the chiropractor has been a great thing. expensive but my back is aching less and less.

7. mike's trying to get me to start running and exercising. if we were going to this, i might get a little inspired to start. maybe. or more like mike runs it while i'm at the beach.

8. one of kaylee's cousin's handed down a night gown and kaylee's in love with it. she's been wearing it for the past 2 days. like all day. if we go out, she will change but change back into it as soon as we get back into the house.

9. i decided that i really need to stop being so lazy and start doing stuff again but its so hard to get out of the lazy routine.

10. kaylee's requested to make 7up pound cake and to paint my nails this morning.
