Mayhem On The Home Front: Oh Barf!

May 9, 2010

“MOM! Help!!!” “I hate being sick!” “I don’t wanna barf anymore!” “I can’t take it anymore ~ my stomach’s hurting so bad!” “I think I’m gonna die!!” “MOM!!!!” Lydia Jean and Wesley took turns throwing up all night ~ so between the two of them, none of us got much sleep. Poor kids ~ they’re so pathetic when they don’t feel good! :( It’s not the best start for Mother’s Day ~ but it has the advantage of being a good excuse to skip church ~ I was pretty sure that I would not be able to make it through a Mother’s Full post …

Happy Birthday, Lydia Jean !♪♫•*¨*•.¸¸♥ ¸¸.•*¨*•♫♪ I feel horrible.

April 30, 2010

While waiting for Angel’s Show Choir concert to start last Sunday afternoon, Lydia Jean used markers to color Andrew’s hands.  I was thinking, What if I forget to make Andrew take a bath?  He can’t go to school like that.  When we get home, things will be so crazy ~ I’m sure to forget and in the morning, he’s not going to have enough time to wash all that color off his hands.  I know that I will forget. Ugh ~ I’m so doomed!  Don’t panic … calm down … deep breaths … by Vyckie Back in Full post …
