A Better Weekend

Yes, I am happy to report that my weekend went much better than my week!! By Sunday I was feeling "normal" again..lol. We did not do much this weekend, we are big basketball fans so on Saturday we stayed home and cheered on the Mountaineers who defeated Louisville by only three points in the last couple of minutes. What a great game!...GO EERS!!!





Saturday evening we went to Sam's for a couple of things and Ayla somehow spotted a Chipmunks cd and HAD TO HAVE IT! It is the sound track from the Chipmunk movie that is out now. I kept explaining to her that it was a MUSIC cd and NOT a movie. She said that was okay and so of course we bought it for her. I had the idea that maybe we should go to Target and get her a portable cd player with headphones so we DID NOT have to listen to the Chipmunks over and over...lol. While we were at Target she spotted the Kids Bopz cd that is playing on commercials so guess what, yes we got that too. I know, she is so spoiled!



So she LOVES, LOVES, her cd's and cd player, she carries it everywhere and she actually fell asleep listening to it on Sunday. John was worried that she might wrap the cord around her neck (only John hehe) so he bought her a little cheap cd player on Sunday evening. So now we have heard the "Chipettes" sing Beyoncee's "All The Single Ladies" about a gazillion times. She LOVES this song and will not listen to anything else.




On Sunday my friend Summer and I went to a neighbors baby shower and I thought it was funny because we both won a game where you had to figure out the correct nursery rhyme by descriptions that they had...yes, that is what having a three year old does for you. Knowing all of the nursery rhymes-CHECK!! I particularly loved this baby shower because the prizes were all "beauty products". The mom of the girl (that is pregnant) owns her own beauty saloon. So I was trying so hard to win a prize. Finally at the end everyone started giving me their baby pins so I could win a game and get a prize. You know the game where every time someone says "baby", you take their pin. So I won and I got some Biolage hair styling gel. Yeah... see it doesn't take much to make me happy!!




Sunday evening I watched the Grammy's and recorded the Duggars. So I was watching the Grammy's and wondering if I am the only person on this planet that thinks that Taylor Swift does not sing that well. Okay, I do like Taylor Swift but I just don't think she can sing "live" very well AT ALL. Seriously ya'll, I felt horrible for her last night. I love her cd's and I think she is a doll but last night was NOT her night. Oh my word and what about Pink? She did a whole circus act performance where she was hanging upside down singing and to make matters worse, she was nearly naked. Oh and she was also dripping wet with water so when she was twirling around water was flying everywhere. All I could think was that I would be totally ticked off if I was sitting there getting wet in my nice, expensive, Grammy attire. Lastly, Lady Gaga, one word-weird. I swear that lady lives in her own little world. Okay enough said!



After the Grammy's I watched the Duggars. This was the new episode where Michelle had her 19th baby at 25 weeks. She had a little girl who they named Josie, she weighed a little over a pound. Okay I was balling my eyes out at the end when all of the kids went in to visit little Josie. I love the Duggar's, I think they are an awesome family! I was glad to hear after the show that little Josie is doing well, she is stable in the NICU and she is up to two pounds. That made me so happy!

Today I took Ayla to get her lab work done. Because of the medicines that she is on, she has to have it checked every eight weeks. She normally does pretty well with it especially considering we have been doing this since she has been eighteen months old. Well today, as soon as I put the numbing cream on her arms she started crying. Then when I pulled into the hospital parking lot she started crying, she basically cried the whole entire time we were there. She kept saying, "don't do it, not today". John and I had to hold her down while they drew her blood. She was crying so hard she almost made herself sick. It broke my heart, I guess now that she is getting older, she is understanding more of what is going on. So after that, I took her out to lunch and then bought her a slushee. She was supposed to get her two injections tonight but we are going to wait until tomorrow because we didn't want to put her through that again tonight.




This is Ayla before we left today. Notice that she is not at all happy but she did remember to take her cd player with her!!

Kaleb is still hanging in there. He went to school for half of a day today but he said he was miserable. I didn't want him to go at all but he insisted. At least he did get his homework. He fractured his left shoulder, so it is in a sling. I was glad it wasn't his right shoulder until today when it JUST hit me that he is LEFT handed! He doesn't know how he is going to write yet... poor thing, I feel so bad for him.

Okay, I think I have talked enough. Can you tell that I am at home all day with no adult conversation..lol. Hope everyone has a GREAT week! Now, off to watch the Bachelor!!
