so these last few days i don't get a grade, i get an incomplete! i'll start from the beginning. Quinn has been waking up about once a night to throw up every night for like a week. then, Monday, matt ate a tasty tasty sandwich with TONS of turkey on it for lunch. about 8 o'clock that evening, food poisoning hit him like a ton of bricks! it was awful, and i thought we'd dodged that bullet because i chose tuna for lunch! go me! then, kendra confessed that she'd been feeling yucky for the last 2 days, but she hasn't eaten any of the turkey! the twist begins. the little boy she nanny's had a 12 hour flu when she watched him this past weekend. crap. so i take care of matt through the night...by take care of i mean shout "how you doing!?" from the living room. also, quinn wakes up to throw up a few times. what!? sigh. so then by morning, matt is feeling a little better, but kendra has taken a turn for the worst and throws up at work (after laying on her office floor for 2 hours), and while i was feeding quinn breakfast i got hit with some pretty serious nausea. so the second matt recovers from food poisoning the rest of us are just dying from the flu! i know, i'm being dramatic. i called my mom crying and begging her to be on-call to come if matt gets sick again and the rest of us are sick. who would take care of quinn if all the adults in the house are busy fighting over the toilets!? we're all doing better now, though we're all about 10 lbs lighter, but Quinn just spiked a fever and he's miserable. i'm just so grateful that i'm not still sick so i can take care of him! his tiny body is so hot and he just snuggles and snuggles. it's so sweet and sad. i really do plan on posting photos sometime. i'm going to be honest...i forgot how and i'm too lazy to remember.
blessings.

i give myself that grade for the day. the house stayed pretty clean all day but sadly didn't get any laundry done. i did some hair at the house...it didn't turn out awesome due to some seriously stubborn grays so we had to do it again. it ended up working out but it did infringe on my big, lofty laundry plans. The mister is sick with FOOD POISONING! gross! so he'll be about 20 lbs lighter by tomorrow at this time. pretty sure it's from some deli turkey that I got just yesterday at safeway...(i thought it looked sketchy). being the good wife that i am, i refuse to come within 10 feet of him because just thinking about vomiting makes me think i'm going to vomit which makes me think i'm sick and i am not. don't judge me! i got him some gatorade, supersupersuper soft toilet paper, some seriously intense toothpaste, and i prayed for him while i listened to him dry heaving from the living room. see i'm not all bad.
quinns last waterbabies class was tonight and i just can't even believe how worth every penny that class has been. he tries to throw himself in the pool the second he sees it which makes it difficult to put his swim trunks on.(yes. swim trunks. on quinn. the teeniest tiniest CUTEST swim trunks ever made). he just lets matt dunk him over and over like it's no big thing. we're going to try and enroll him in the next session of classes but it will be bittersweet with no anna and fox, and also we have to come up with $200 that just might be harder to find than we thought.
we had gilmore girls night tonight. delicious tacos, lovely women to hang out with, a couple cute babies to cuddle, and of course rorey and lauralie...all in lindsey green and melissas adorable adorable ADORABLE apartment. linds and i share an obsession with very grandma-esque things, so i feel nice and 75 (minus the wrinkles) at her place.
Jesus and i maintained a constant conversation in my head today and i just love when i am aware enough of Him to do that! it doesn't happen much, i'm more of a "popcorn" prayer, but every-so-often i'll just crave Him so much that i don't ever want the praying to stop....it's like when i call my mom just so i can feel connected to her, but not so much because i need to tell her anything. once again, don't judge, but sometimes (all the time) when i can't fall asleep (every night) i'll start praying just because i know it's a sure-fire way to knock me out (you know you do it).
anyway, i'm going to go to bed and start praying.....

THIS WEEK!
so i suck at blogging. BUT I WILL NOT GIVE UP! no one reads it, so that takes the pressure off...it's mostly just so all that is constantly tornado-ing (don't judge me for making up my own word) in my brain will have somewhere to go so that I can fall asleep at night. i have been BUSY. hair, hair and more hair. I LOVE it...i really do...but i only love it if I'm good about keeping up on the other important things in my life on my off time. Laundry, dishwasher (my very lease favorite), keeping the garage clean!, tidying up my car every time i get out of it (my second least favorite), skip a few, and last of all, feeding Lazarus...our goldfish that should be dead because i never feed him. this week i'm going to master it. i've done it before (so i know it's possible) and i get so tired that i take the next week off and then never catch back up but the tiredness is so worth feeling like i have my life put together and my family is happy.
sometimes i have to plan it out.
the only way i'll keep the house clean is if i promise myself that i will NOT turn on morning television (my favorite thing) until the house is spotless...which usually means that i don't turn it on at all because i realize i'm so much happier without it. i'll replace it with some civil wars, which just makes me happy, adele, who makes me scream sing and FAIL at sounding anything like her, or a good worship cd which centers my heart on Jesus for the day. the last one sounds the best but, no one's perfect and sometimes i choose something else. the point is, any of it is better for my plan than the VIEW or Matt Lauer ahem ahem i mean the Today show ;)
my other goal for the week. break out Pheobe and start my pillows. Pheobe is my beautiful sewing machine. she's really gorgeous. i got her from my wonderful family for my birthday and i'm trading one of my most favorite clients sewing lessons for hair services. ( i know. i'm a genius. ) she's going to teach me how to make a duvet cover also because she says it's just as easy as a pillow and i am just so very very doubtful.
one last thing. i garage saled (i already told you, don't judge) yesterday and bought 4 vintage sweaters and a childs baseball bat and glove holder for when Quinn plays baseball which i'm sure will be soon. the total? 9 dollars and 14 cents. the sweaters were 14 cents. go me. i'll post photos soon if i feel motivated enough.
be blessed this week.
