super busy day
photo taken monday via iphone via the sweet and lovely michelle
1. bummed that i was at the grocery store when her tooth finally came out.
2. had to facebook what the going rate was for a first lost tooth.
3. glad to report it has not increased much since ham was this age.
4. in fact the tooth fairy is "recycling" all his tooth fairy coins. she got 3- $1.00 gold coins.
5. i tried couponing. it takes a lot of time and energy but i saved almost 40 bucks between coupons + sales.
6. i was super busy today. super busy doing nothing and feeding my face!
7. i didn't even shower till noon. i blame it on the 2 benadryls i took last night. i was still groggy this morning. [my eczema is back on my neck + i itch everywhere]
8. i did make dinner. lasagna + garlic cheese bread.
9. ham wants a juicy steak + mashed potatoes for dinner. will have to see how much steaks are first.
10. kaylee said her favorite thing about school is snack time and then coming home.
she also asked me how many more years of school she has. she was shocked when i told her she also has 4 mores for college.

you light up my life
how cute is this?
[via pinterest and design sponge for the diy]
*warning: pinterest is very addicting!
i'm back! [not that i was really gone]
kaylee + jack sleeping saturday night taken with iphone
1. she must of been tired because she fell asleep on her own before 8pm that night.
2. and jack likes to sleep under the covers. weird cat.
3. why the new blog? well its a new year so why not?
4. and i would like to share it with a few more people and feel i can quit hiding it.
5. it will remain the same so keep reading at your own risk! unless you need good napping material.
6. i've been feeling a little blah lately. i think its the cold weather and being stuck inside for the past 2 weeks. [kaylee being sick one week]
7. and because i'm trying very hard not to buy unnecessary things.
8. though friday night i had mike drive me to target to buy twizzlers and good chocolates. the ladies at my mom's coffee shop back in the day use to call them "better than the o" chocolates.
9. after you eat one you know why they called it that.
10. i also bought a date planner from ebay. i've been wanting a place that i can keep track of my health history and the one i wanted sold last week. this morning i found another one and they did a buy it now for me. i'm a happy camper.

learning from my 6 year old daughter
taken the other night
1. the weekend came and gone. our highlight was the in-laws coming over for lunch on saturday. made meatloaf in a crock-pot and parmesan garlic mashed potatoes. first time for both.
2. today kaylee + i got to visit with some friends. it's AWESOME! to have friends who support, laugh and understand you.
3. the kids were off from school to honor "king martin luther's day" according to kaylee.
4. speaking of the nugget. she gave me a reality check tonight.
5. on our way home from monday night dinner she asked me what she had tomorrow.
6. i told her in my don't bother me tone " i don't know what you have, its tuesday, you should know this already."
7. she said i was mean. so i yelled back " you want to see mean?! when we get home you will take a quick shower and go to your room!"
8. she cried and said "i'm sorry. i thought you knew because you always know this stuff." [i'm teary eyed right now while typing this]
9. i immediately apologized to her and said she was right, i was being mean and for no reason at all. i promised her i would work on being nicer.
10. i've been aware that this is how i talk to my kids sometimes -not on purpose but it just comes out in a mean or annoyed type tone. hopefully this was the end.
