Here I sit on this Sunday morning, after having done a few things in prepping myself for church in about 3 hours. I have SO MUCH LEFT TO DO!!! Lucky for me everyone is still sleeping. The awful part about last night was not getting home until late and not having picked out any ones clothes for church. Such a simple task can be such a HUGE thing come Sunday morning!!:) Yet I am still so excited for church today as Clint is getting the Aaronic Priesthood today!! I am so proud of him for accepting the church and all the things that come with it. We are looking forward to the day that he will be baptizing Cadence in about 4 years. She talks about it all the time. I am so grateful that our kids were able to witness their dad being baptised and that it had such a huge impression on Cadence as she talks about her daddy dunking her in the water when she's 8!!!

Last night we found out that a big portion of Clint's family is moving up to Nevada this upcoming weekend!! I know that they have been talking about it for what has seemed like the longest time, but I didn't think that it would happen this soon!! Cadence seems to be handling it a lot better than I thought that she would. Heaven knows that she can't live without her Brittni!! She was talking about it with her grandma last night and she didn't seem like she was going to have much of a problem with it. Although Clint thinks that it's a good idea, I am kind of dreading the day that they come out to say their goodbyes! That's when I think that Cadence is going to have the BIG MELTDOWN!!!!!

I had something that I can only find the word strange to describe it happen to me this past week. I had taken a full dose of NyQuil one night, because I was down right miserable and knew that I needed the sleep. After dosing off I hear Cadence scream!! Chazlyn had hit Cadence!!! I jump out of bed startled by the sound of her scream!! I at that point felt kind of like I was drunk!!! I turn around to head for the bedroom as I can hardly keep myself standing.Before I knew it, I had passed out on the floor and started convulsing!!! Clint stayed very calm and just kept saying my name over and over to try to get me out of this strange episode that I was having. After a little time had passed, i came to and struggled to get my dead weight to bed, as Clint was busy with the girls. I am under the same impression as my mom, it was just the NyQuil, but what a scary thing for Clint to have to watch!!!:(

So, I was really wanting to write this last night, but to no surprise to myself, I fell asleep before actually being able to do much of anything.... But on a BIGGER note, I woke up yesterday morning kind of feeling like I should potty train Chazlyn. I went ahead and acted on that. She had only 2 pee accidents yesterday!! The times that I tried to get her to wear a diaper, she just wasn't going to have that, so undies it was!! Sad part is that she isn't even 2 yet!!! I am just looking for ward to not having to pay for diapers each month!!! I never would have thought that day one of potty training would have gone as well as it did! I seriously didn't even have to change ONE DIAPER YESTERDAY!!! I did put a diaper on her on 3 different occasions throughout the day, but one was because she was playing in the backyard (and I remember that was when Cadence would have a lot of accidents, cause she was to busy playing), two was because we went to the store (and Heaven knows, we don't want her to have an accident there), and the third one was because she went to sleep last night. Seriously 3 diapers in a day is a fraction of what I would go through in a day!!! I remember back when I started potty training Cadence, and how I had her almost 100% potty trained before her 2ND birthday, but then I remembered how I showed up pregnant with Chazlyn, and dealt with the joy of morning sickness, one thing that i will never have to deal with again!! It is so much easier for some reason this time around than it was with Cadence, but I think that that's my fault. I stopped and started one to many times with Cadence, which really wasn't fair to her!!:( When Clint had gotten home and we told him how awesome Chazlyn was doing with potty training, he felt like it was worth getting a new potty seat thing to have her train with, instead of using the one that we used with Cadence, since Chazlyn didn't take to that one as well.

Since being awake since about 3am this morning, and Clint finding that out after I had woken him up because of his alarm, and the miserable state that I was in he is now under the impression that I am allergic to Max, since he sheds. I don't think so. If I was allergic to him, then it really shouldn't matter what time of day I have these flair ups, right?? It seems to be only in the early morning hours that continue into the day time hours of the day. After that I am usually fine. I think that it may just be another cold. Who knows???

Clint is going to meet with the Bishop tonight. I am thinking that it is about or dealing with the Priesthood?? I may be wrong, but I am pretty sure that that is what it is. I think that the girls and I will get dinner cleaned up while he is gone and make cookies or bake something while he is gone. That way they will have something fun to do!!!

Then, tomorrow night is the night that the Ward Mission Leader is coming over to start the Discussions all over again with Clint. I guess that is something that they do with Converts, so tomorrow begins the first one!! The guy is really nice and sometimes teaches our Gospel Doctrine class and so it will be nice to have him in our home.

Last night while we were at that store, I had remembered that I was almost out of Pepsi at home. I started thinking that I really wasn't digging the taste of Pepsi to much anymore and that I was going to get a pop that didn't have any caffeine!! I was also thinking that now would be a good time to get off of the caffeine now that I have plenty of Ibuprofen, and a lot of hope that that's enough to keep the headaches away. I was tore between Sprite and Lime Crush. For something different that i had never had before, i opted for the Lime Crush.

Since I had yet again slacked on the laundry, i decided to use yesterday and get caught up. Although most of it is put away, i still have a little left to get put away. So my chore for today is cleaning!! I think that that is much easier than getting laundry done because the house just isn't real messy! My main focus is really just the Family Room and Kitchen since those are the 2 rooms we spend the most time in anyway during the day. I am hoping sometime soon that I can get back into my scrapbook room and either rearrange it or do something different with it. I am getting so tired of the way that it looks. I guess that it doesn't really help that there is a twin size bed taking up a bunch of room in it, we just didn't know what to do with the extra one that we have, since Chazlyn is still in a crib and we don't really need to use it right now.

One thing that we are looking into investing in is a kennel for Max. We found one that I think would be really good for both max and Inky. It's a larger size kennel with a divider and 2 doors. But then I got to thinking that Inky really isn't my problem, it's Max!! So then I started thinking that may be we should just get one. We found one that has the divider and 2 doors for $50 or we could just get one kennel for $30 and just kennel Max. i am not real sure what we are going to do yet, but something has to change with max, otherwise I don't really see us keeping him!!:(

Today is going to be AWESOME!!!

Today is the BIG day for Clint!! He is getting baptized!! I bet that you can't tell that I am looking forward to this. I have barely slept all night! Besides that, it is going on 3:30am in the morning. I hope that i don't live to regret this, but this is going to be such a life changing experience for him, and already has been. He had his interview with the Mission District Leader person yesterday. After an hour of him being gone, since I stayed home with the girls, and after having the Missionaries go over the questions with him Wednesday night, I could not imagine what could possibly take him so long. Around a quarter after 4pm he walks through the door. I often bring myself back to the days of our past just so I can compare him now to who has become, two totally different people on a spiritual level anyway. To actually sit down and listen to him talk church, is amazing. Clint and I both have something in common now that we are looking forward to... being sealed in the Temple. Like I have said, in an earlier post, Cadence and Chazlyn have no idea what an important thing this is to have their daddy do, but I know that someday they both will. After all, Cadence is already half way to eight!!!

Last Thursday was kind of a trying day for me. I had been experiencing really bad headaches due to the length of my hair. Sounds silly, right?? I agree. I bet that you'd never believe that I had long hair once upon a time, since I can't keep much length on it these days. My parents had Clint, the girls, and I over for dinner Thursday night. My mom also gave me a hair cut that night, since I had been getting these awful headaches. The time before I got my hair cut, i was planning on growing out my hair just to donate it to Locks of Love. Well, that didn't turn out very well either. I started getting these headaches, and had to get it cut. I felt bad for it, but at the same time, I couldn't go on day in and day out with the types of headaches I was having. Besides that I get a lot of headaches alone, without the long hair. Needless to say, i had my mom cut it kind of short. I am loving being able to do my hair and having no pain come from it!:D

I am just having one of those days, where all I can think about is how amazing my husband is. He has come so far! I often look back on the days that we were living in Chandler, and how dead set against going to church with Cadence and I he was, to this man that won't miss a Sunday of church unless we have a sick kid. He is getting Confirmed in Sacrament Meeting tomorrow at church, and I think that is going to be an awesome thing to witness. Clint already has it set up with the guy in our ward, Tyler Dees to do the confirming. SO NEAT!!!!

Here I am, still up at pushing4am in the morning. I have to go up and meet my sister down the street to pick up a hair clip that she made just for me to wear to the Baptism this evening, and I am not getting a lot of sleep. I am going to go lay down and see if, with any luck, I can get back to sleep!

So today is the 4Th and final day of Clint taking the discussions!! Next step, the interview and then the official and final step, Baptism!! It is going to be such a great day!! I am just glad that my family is being so supportive of this and helping us out as far as preparing to give the talks, perform the actual baptism, and do the prayers. I really want to be able to soak up that whole day, a day that I never saw coming although some in my family would not have been surprised if he ended up joining. After all during the second discussion, the missionaries invited Clint to Baptism and he accepted!! I know that the turn out is going to be AWESOME!! So with the missionaries coming over tonight, and this being the last discussion, I told Cadence that we would make them cookies. I am just glad that today is finally here so I don't have to listen to her whine and complain about making cookies any day that isn't today.

One of my sisters had suggested seeing if we could get our youngest blessed the same day that Clint was Baptised, but after thinking about and everything we have decided that we are going to hold off on the blessing either until the upcoming Fast Sunday, or one to follow. With Clint getting baptised and him being in the state that he's in with everything, it would just make it an even longer day, and he wants to be able to solely focus on this being an amazing day for himself.

On Monday we submitted the names of everyone that was going to be speaking at Clint's Baptism and everything. This is something like what the program for the night is going to look like...

Opening Prayer: Gma Pine
Opening Hymn: Because I Have Been Given much
Baptism Talk: Uncle Charlie
Baptism: Gpa Pine
Witnesses: Elder Hanks and Elder Thurman
Holy Ghost Talk: L. Mullen
Closing Hymn: (Missionaries are picking that one)
Closing Prayer: Mom

I am hoping that we are able to go shopping for clothes before his Baptism, which is in 3 days. I am so tired of my church wardrobe! I have a bunch of black, and that is not something that I really want to wear to my husbands Baptism. I am hoping to be able to get a jean skirt or something. Clint also decided that Tyler Dees is going to perform the confirmation in church on Sunday. Sunday is going to be a big day. Clint is getting confirmed a member in Sacrament Meeting, he is paying tithing for the first time in his life, and I am being set apart for my calling!! It's going to be a big day, but a really great one!!

I have been trying a lot harder here lately to get up with Clint in the mornings so that we can read scriptures and say our morning prayers together. Although we haven't had the time the past 2 mornings to read the scriptures, we always make up for it before bed, and we have yet to miss a morning or night of saying prayers as a couple. Our life has totally changed for the better in not even a week!! I just can't wait to see where we are in a year from now. Will we be taking the Temple classes? That's the plan for the both of us to strive for.

Although I have been up since 4:30am this morning, I am hoping that I can find it in me to get s few things done to the house today before the missionaries come over. It has to be done regardless, so I just have to see to it that it gets done! It bothers me the days that I don't get much sleep and then have a bunch of cleaning and things to get done during the day. By1pm, I am ready for a nap!!! It is sometimes so hard for me to push through being so tired and clean. Boo for that!

Today has been a really good day thus far! When Clint doesn't have time in the mornings to read the scriptures, I feel that I can't really go on with my day till I have read. I find that i read ahead 4-5 chapters, just to go back that night when we have the time to read, reading it over. That may sound like no fun, but for me it's a good thing! I have a hard enough time remembering what I read in the first place, so to go back in the same day and re-read it at night.

Our V-Day

So, with Valentines Day now being over, I got to tell you how much I enjoyed mine. For once it had very little to do with what we already know, that we love each other. We didn't do gifts, cause why?? The one thing Clint did get me was a rose, which Cadence destroyed because "SHE" wanted a flower. Not that I want to sound like I didn't really care, because he meant only good by it, but it's just anohter thing that I have to keep alive. But yesterday was a really good day. Clint and I were up by 4am yesterday morning. We did prayers and read scriptures and he still had plenty of time to get ready and be on time to work. I spent all day at keeping up on all the fun messes that the kids made while trying at the same time to gain the sanity that one only wishes they had!! Clint got home from work, we had dinner and i had made a chocolate pudding pie for Clint and so we had that for dessert. Shortly there after, they missionaries stopped by to give Clint the 3rd discussion. His last one is going to be at 6:30pm on Wednesday and then he meets for his interview on Friday at 3pm. We are so close I can't wait!! We went over with the missionaries last night who we wanted to do what at the baptism. We even picked a hymn that we wanted to have sung, and then the missionaries said that they would surprise us with th closing hymn since we didn't have a hymn book to choose from, even though they were naming off ones, I just wanted to make sure that I at the least was able to choose the one. So for once Valentines Day wasn't the typical holiday for us, but we were moreorless able to spend it on a more spiritual note, which was great!

Sunday was a BIG DAY!!

We finally made it back to church yesterday after taking a 2 week break since the kids had both had their fair share of sickness. The best part about going yesterday, is that we weren't even late to the very first meeting!! We had been walking in late to what felt like most every single Sunday. But with Clint's determination to get baptised he also wants to strive harder as a family to make it out the door on time without being considered late. We even sat closer to the front!:) Going hand in hand with going to church, brings about some other new news! Not only is my husband getting baptised THIS SATURDAY, but I GOT A CALLING!! Not going to lie, I have been waiting for this and wanting this so bad! I am a little apprehensive about this, as I am getting mixed reviews. The man, and heaven knows I won't remember his name, who gave me the calling made it sound pretty easy and I liked that! So I make my announcement about it on faebook and I get a comment from a friend stating that that can be a HUGE CALLING!! YIKES!! Now I am thinking, what the heck did I just sign up for?!?!? So, I sat down this morning and thought about it, and have come to the conclusion that there's a purpose for this, and I am going to take the calling, which I already accepted, and do the best that I can with it. And really, help for me is only a prayer away! Besides that anyway, I have my husbands support on this and so with that and the help of the Lord, i am going to be just fine!!:)

While the missionaries were here this past Saturday night, giving Clint a discussion, they invited us to go to a baptism at 6:30pm on Sunday. That way he would be able to see what happens at a baptism, as that is what he preparing for, and so we went! Although this was for an eight year old boy, it was still neat for Clint to be there for it.

Cadence was actually pretty cute yesterday too!! During Sacrament meeting I kept telling her to be sure to tell her teacher that her daddy is getting baptised this Saturday night. When her reply came to me as a no and a shake of her head, I felt saddened. I thought that it was big news that she would like to tell!! But every time that I told her, the reply came the same. So, I went to get her from her class, and her sweet teacher said that not only did Cadence want to announce this, she wanted to do it over the microphone in the Primary Room!! SO CUTE!! One other lady from the Primary said that it was so cute, she wanted to cry. I don't know what Cadence said, but I can only imagine this sweet little 4 year old child of mine and the excitement that she had and her sweet disposition reverently walking up to the front from way in the back where her class sits and announcing this on the microphone!!! What a doll!!

Also, there's Chazlyn!! Clint had taken her during sacrament Meeting to get a drink and upon returning to the cultural hall she books it for her classroom for nursery. Her teacher was in there, getting ready for the little ones to arrive, but what a great feeling and blessing my children are. She is FINALLY getting use to letting us go and not being so clingy!!! So yay for that!!!

Kids are great and are a HUGE BLESSING!!!!

HE'S GETTING BAPTISED & WE SET A DATE & TIME!!

So we met with the missionaries last night, and I got to say I am totally LOVING this!! We not only set a date, but now we have a time!! WOW!! All of this has happened so fast it almost doesn't seem real, yet is! I made a bunch of phone calls to let everyone know. My Grandpa Pine is going to be the one that is going to baptise Clint, which I think is really neat, yet the missionaries said that it really didn't matter who baptised him because it's all going to be the same anyway. We are down to 2 more discussions and then 1 interview. And it's all going to be done before Saturday!! Seriously the count down begins and we are both just so excited!! This is a day that more than 2 people on my side of the family predicted would happen, and here we are. We had the missionaries over for dinner on Thursday night, then Friday night was his first discussion, and then Saturday was his second, and come tomorrow night at 7pm is his third. After that he will only have one more discussion!! They jumped on this and are moving it along quite quickly. It is just a complete blessing in every way that you look at it. I seriously can't wait until 11am!! They are announcing in church today about Clint, and it just makes me so happy!! Brother Dees is going to be so happy too, I just know it! He has been kind of a mentor to Clint on all of this church stuff, and although we never actually got a chance to have him over to talk church with Clint, I know that he will be super happy for him. He is such a great guy and has been since the first Sunday that we went to this ward! It has just been a really good past few days for us!:)

I just realized how crazy our dogs are! Yes, kind of weird that I would notice such a strange thing at 3 in the morning, but my dogs are almost kind of dumb! I am not sure if this is something that Inky taught Max, but they both enjoy eating toilet paper!! Strange, I know! They are so crazy that it is just beyond me the stupid things that they do. Yet I love my doggies and will put up with their rather strange behavior. Also, Max is such a cuddler where Inky isn't like that at all. She likes her space and doesn't enjoy things like a lap dog would. I thought that I could may be "force affection" on her, and although I have seen her cave in, she will never be that way!:(

As I sit at this computer I can't help but think how badly I want these next 8 hours to go by, and fast! We have missed the past 2 Sundays of church because we have had sick kids, but this week everyone is better and with the big news out, I can hardly wait!!

Right now I only have about 20 minutes to update this, so I am going to try to get out everything in that short time span. Also, it's not going to be a very long post...

First off, our day today has gone by pretty fast!! That's not good when we are really trying to enjoy our weekend and the time is just flying by!! The missionaries were going to come over at 1pm today until we found out that they had a flat tire and the time changed to 6:30, which wasn't really a bad thing for us either. We went out to lunch at Panda Express, and that was fun since we haven't been to eat there since we lived in Chandler, and even then it wasn't that often. After that we went and did our grocery shopping so that we could avoid having to do that on a Sunday! And now that we are down to about 20 minutes until the missionaries will be here to teach more discussions to Clint. Last night Clint set a date to get Baptized, but once the missionaries get here we are trying to get it moved since my mom is working the Saturday that we had scheduled with the missionaries. But it is so exciting for me to be apart of this and it actually be because he wants it, and it's not him doing it just for me. It is going to be a really happy day for everyone the day that it does end up happening!!:)

One Sunday at church we decided to sign up to feed the Missionaries in our ward. So last night was the night that it happened!! It was such a great experience having them in our home!! Before they left we had an appointment for the next night at 6:30pm!! I am so excited for Clint to be making this decision and taking the Discussions! I know that Cadence and Chazlyn don't know the importance of what is happening now, but I know that they will be grateful as they get older and understand more about what a neat thing the Gospel is. I know that Clint is doing a great thing by accepting this!:) One thing that makes this situation kind of heartwarming for me is that I have a friend that just got home from her mission during this past week, and to now be having the Missionaries play such an important role in our lives just has great significance in my life, and it truly is an awesome thing. It makes me really appreciate having this religion and it playing a huge role in my life. I know that there has been times, and probably more than I can count that I haven't been real active, but it's the moments like NOW that makes the most sense.

Finally after 3 weeks, I "think" that we are all better!! This is a day that felt like it would never get here, especially when it comes to kids! Not just one kid, but two! The girls are actually almost finished with their medications they were prescribed, well Chazlyn anyway. Pendleton just prescribed Cadence Amoxicillin for her ear infection, so she still has a ways to go on that since she has to be on that for ten days, and she has only been on it since Tuesday night. I am just glad to see them getting better for a change, instead of new symptoms forming every day or every other day. Looking back on the days that felt like they were never going to end seem like nothing now. Just glad that we are all on our way to recovery!:)

So, Clint had to work today!:( I am just thankful that my dad was going into work today and that he could pick Clint up. I would just rather wake up to Clint still sleeping than waking up because he has to get up and leave. Yes, I know, I am clingy! That was one thing that I told Clint when we were just dating, and I guess somethings never change! I wouldn't trade the way things are going for us right now for anything.

For as much as I hate getting woken up at 4:30am in the morning, it really isn't to bad. I actually get to enjoy the peace and quiet for a change. i know that once those kids wake up, that the quiet me time that I am enjoying now, will be over!! Now that it's about 20 minutes after 6am, I am actually getting to the point that I could fall asleep!!

Here lately I have been wanting to learn how to make bows. One day while we were at Walmart we came across a bow maker that was marked down to 50% off! Sounded like a good deal, so we bought it. Stupidly, I decide that this morning was a good morning to open it and give it a try. Bad idea!! I am so tired that whatever I thought that I was trying to make was turning out to be a complete disaster! That's when I neatly put the whole thing away. I had had enough of trying to make something look how I wanted it to look, when it wasn't going to turn out that way.

Oh goodness!! We have the missionaries coming over tonight for dinner and my house doesn't look the way that I would like for it to look!! I have such a busy day ahead of me! At least the girls woke up feeling better this morning, so at least that's a plus! I already know what I am making and am hoping that the fool proof crock pot of mine doesn't let me down today!!

I am also really hoping that these kids of mine that never listen to me, listen to me today!! I hope I got my point across yesterday that I mean business!! Cadence spent a lot of time in her bedroom just testing me to see if I was actually going to do what i said that I was going to do. I think she knows now that I say what I mean, and mean what I say!! The only thing that is working against me today is that both kids were up 2 hours earlier than they usually are and so they are a little on the cranky side. Trust me!! I in no way was ready to be up at 7am!! Cadence comes in my bedroom, my eyes are literally sealed shut, wanting to eat a roll that I specifically bought for tonight's dinner. But she's not just asking, she's screaming and flailing her body everywhere trying to get me to cave. Well, since that backfired on her, I peeled my eyes open, rolled out of bed and went to the kitchen. As funny as it is all she wanted to eat was a piece of bread... not toast, bread! Whatever.

Like I said, I have a lot to get done in like 9 or 10 hours, so LATER!!

Life has been so crazy for us here lately! The girls and I haven't been feeling well, so not a whole lot of cleaning has been happening. Yikes! And we're having the missionaries over for dinner TOMORROW NIGHT!!! So today is going to be a really busy day for me, and with 2 kids that aren't quite better, this may be quite the challenge.

I totally cannot even believe that I have been awake since 2am!! Cadence is having a really rough time right now. We brought her to the doctor yesterday and found out that she has an ear infection, so we started her on prescription last night. It seems like these kids are catching everything without even leaving the house!! Seriously, we have dealt with the kids being sick since the Sunday before last! There is everything from the croupe, to breathing problems, throw up and now an ear infection!! I just can't even believe how long this crap is lasting! It just won't leave our house alone!! I am just glad that today is finally Wednesday! Clint only has today, tomorrow, and maybe half of Friday of work left. I love the time that he is off cuase he is such a huge help with the kids, and he seems to be the ONE thing that each of them want when they aren't feeling good.

Sinca Cadence has been up since 2am, Clint let the dogs out. Now I don't want to let them back in since they will run around like 2 stupid dogs and not settle down. Besides that, Cadence has relocated to the front room to watch some TV. I can't blame the kid for not sleeping well. Having an ear infection can't be real comforting. I just hope that these kids better and that it happens real soon!!

Clint's work is offering other types of insurance other than just medical, and has added me to the vision. The doctor did an eye test on Cadence at one of her last appointments and she passed that with flying colors so he left the kids off of that, but since he and I both wear glasses, we can at least get updated on our eye exams and prescriptions. I am really digging the health insurance that Clint has through his work right now. We decided to switch doctors to one that was close to where we are living, but after one bad experience, Clint and I have decided to switch the doctor we bring the girls to. With the insurance we carry the girls on has no doctor restrictions so we have moved the kids doctor to one in Chandler that we are real pleased with. Infact, that's where we plan on bringing the kids from here on out. We'll be there again next month for Chazlyn's 2 year appointment. Totally loving being back!!:)

Things are finally starting to look up around here. We actually got to sleep in some what this morning, well till 7am anyway! Both kids are starting to sound better and they are even wanting to eat more. Although they aren't quite out of the woods yet, they are starting to get better.

We decided yesterday after having been in the ER that we were going to have to postpone Chazlyn's Blessing! Clint and I both hated doing that, but with the way the girls were feeling, we didn't know how they would be feeling the next day so we thought that it would be best to put it off until next month. But how awesome would that have been to have gotten our daughter blessed on SUPERBOWL SUNDAY!! Especially if Steelers win!!

Last night was so much fun, no matter how little sleep I was running off of. I really enjoyed getting out of the house since my only time outside of sick kids was either the doctor, the ER, or the store, getting a prescription filled. I finally had a break and was thankful that I had Bunko!! It was such a good night too, since I actually ended up having the Bunko Bear at the end, which means that I got to choose first!! Once we decide where we are going to put it, I will post a picture of what it is. It is so neat. We had something similar to it when we lived in Chandler, so it feels good to get something close to what we had there. The saying is definately different, but still nice nonetheless.

Here I am yet again having a really trying morning!! Both of my girls are miserable!! They wake up between 4:30 and 5am every morning just miserable!! I can't wait for them to get better. Since bringing them both to the doctor that we are using since we moved out to Queen Creek, they have both gotten a lot worse!! We are switching doctors!! I would rather drive back into Chandler to the pediatrician that my girls had while we were living there, instead of having one that is practically right down the street from our house. That's how done I am with this pediatrician! He isn't even good with my kids. pendleton at least gets down to my kids levels and really cares. I am just frustrated even more so today than any other because it's Friday!! I miss having Clint home on Fridays! So he leaves me this morning, and Chazlyn pukes, all over my bed!! GROSS!! I am so tired of dealing with sick kids!! The best part about her puking was that after she puked, she laid down and went right to sleep!!

This morning when Cadence woke up, yet again not feeling well, she told me she was hot, because of her running a temp, so I laid her on my bed and opened our window, hoping that she gets some relief. She is so miserable! It has been almost a week now for both kids!! I just feel bad that there is nothing that I can do to help them get better except Tylenol and albuterol! Other than that, nothing has been much help. Once Clint gets home around 2pm today, he is being sweet enough to give me a break, to where I won't have to deal with the kids and them being sick until Monday morning when the work week starts all over again!

Tomorrow night I have Bunco and am thoroughly looking forward to it!! It isn't that I need a break from my kids, it's just a break in general!

Well, now begins my day! Cadence just woke up and is not in a real great mood, which is understandable, but here i go trying my best to make her all better!!

These are my 2 sick kids.... Kind of hard to tell that they are sick, but they have fevers, runny noses, and coughs. Let me tell you, this week has been so trying and super hard for me. I know, it's not all about me, but I have been almost to my breaking point with the way this week has been going for me. Sunday was the day that Chazlyn began to not even feel well. Monday morning came, Clint left for work, Chazlyn woke up wheezing!! That totally threw up a red flag! Not only that but she was developing a really bad cough. We ended up going to the ER Monday after Clint got home from work since Chazlyn was seriously having a hard time breathing. They wound up giving her an hour long breathing treatment, which she did not enjoy mostly because it was waaaay past her bedtime and she was very over tired!! Needless to say, we managed to get her to sleep and managed to finish up the breathing treatment. They sent us home finally at 1am with a prescription. We get home and all manage to settle down from the shocking 43 degree weather and off to sleep we went. Somehow 5am manages to roll around and both kids are up, both screaming and crying because at that point both kids weren't feeling well. Lucky for us I had called hteir doctor to see when the soonest we would get in was and had an appointment for Tuesday. So my dad picked Clint up and i was able to bring the girls to the doctor. We left there, yet again with another prescription and a $30 copay that shouldn't have been, but oh well! That night we were up at walmart getting the persciptions filled, which made for another long night! I really don't know where Wednesday and Thursday went, but they too were spent with sick kiddos! Now tomorrow is Friday and I get to do this all over again!! The kids have both been waking up between 4:45-5am each morning, which makes the day really hard when no one is getting a whole lot of sleep around here. Oh! And Clint is working tomorrow. This is them both under the influence of pain and fever reducer along with some albuterol. Don't they look happy??

This is something that I made the other night for dinner that was really yummy!! It is called Green Chile Chicken. You can find the recipe on my Granny blog
