Dont you just love my title??? I really feel like crud and didnt want to take time thinking couldn't come up with a catchy one to express exactly how I have been feeling so that's what you get!
The sickies have invaded my house and I am DONE! Ok well I think they should be done but for some unknown reason they will just not leave my body. Now they have invaded S as well. He sounds so pitiful with all the congestion, coughing and raspy voice. I am going to take him to the Dr today. With the weather changing from super freezing and snow to nice and sunny we are more concerned about it moving into his chest and causing pneumonia and want to nip it in the bud before it gets too bad. Pneumonia likes to sneak up on the least suspecting person in our house so this wouldn't be the first time!
You may ask why I don't take myself to the doctor right? Well my friends that is because I am the mommy and mommies are not allowed to get sick. Oh wait I think my body may have missed that information! Could someone please come and explain that to it? I would be more than grateful.
In addition to everyone me feeling under the weather lately my poor house was suffering the effects. Thank heavens that Daddy was home the past few days and in the spurts of feeling good we tackled the house with the help of the older girls. Man they can work if they know you need help. Its just those times when you are feeling great they decide not to help. HMM I need to figure that one out!
What does one do when they only feel good for about 10-15 minutes at a time? Why laundry of course! Oh now don't go thinking that I only did 1 or 2 loads of laundry this weekend. Nope I did 7 of them!! The sad thing is that I have probably 3 more to do. (this is me hanging my head in shame) Yep I let it get a bit out of control but its almost all caught up which for me is awesome! Laundry is the bane of my existance. Really we do not get along at all. I think partly because I have to go out in the garage and in the winter its just really cold. Seriously who wants to stand on cold concrete handling wet clothes? Not me! The other reason is this thing called putting laundry away. I dont really mind washing, drying or folding it. Its the putting away I DESPISE! But let me tell you, getting it all put away and my living room not looking like the washing machine vomited all over it was awesome!!
So word to the wise. Even though you may hate putting all that wonderful smelling, freshly washed laundry away go ahead and do it! It may surprise you how much better you will feel. And that my friends is coming from a super sick (hey hey not mentally just physically!) woman this week!
So I have been trying to load pictures for a while now but for some reason blogger does not like me right now! I will be back later with a post o' pictures for your viewing pleasure!!
How pretty is that??

We are not football watchers around here. Ok you can pick up your jaw now! I am actually glad because football makes absolutely no sense to me. We do however watch the Superbowl with family every single year.
Today started out fairly normal. Took S to the barber shop to get his haircut. Does anyone know how weird it is to take a boy to the barber shop after having three girls that you take to the salon?? Normally Daddy takes him but I had to register V for soccer today so Daddy decided he would stay home with the girls and I would run all the errands. I love doing that! S always does amazing when getting his hair cut though I have a hard time looking at him afterwards and not commenting that he doesn't look like a baby anymore. Kind of makes me proud yet sad at the same time.
So anyway onto the Superbowl! By the way I did at least pick a team and was pulling for the Saints. No clue why but that was who I chose! We headed to Daddy's sister's house and got to eating. I always love family gatherings b/c there are so many munchies. Its kind of like a buffet at home and this very picky girl likes to eat! We made it to halftime and had to head home because S was getting tired and the girls have school tomorrow. So home we went. Now the kiddos are all in bed, we are watching a movie and I am doing laundry.
Does your laundry just multiply by itself? I swear that we have elves in my garage and they just play in the piles every night. One day I WILL come up with a system that works for me.
Have a great week everyone!!

A little about me/us. My name is Lynn and I am married to my wonderful husband who we will call Daddy who is in the Army. We have 4 children (3 girls and 1 boy) who you can read some about here. They are the biggest joys in our life though Daddy jokes that his true love is his helicopter! ;) We all know he is kidding (or is he??). I am just starting my hobby/business in making hairbows for all your pretty little princesses! I am currently making several bows for our oldest daughters competition dance team!! I sure hope they look as cute on stage as they do up close!
We have been lucky to have the chance of being stationed at Campbell for going on 10 years now. WOW times flies! We have been through 3 deployments and 1 turn to Korea since 2003 and are getting ready for another deployment pretty soon. I gave birth to our last 2 children while he was gone with the help of his family who watched the other kids and his sister who was my coach/laughing partner.
Our house is normally filled with chaos which most days is a blessing but somedays my ears could definitely use a break!! I definitely wouldn't trade it for the world though! I bet you are glad you are reading and not actually here listening aren't you now?? Welcome to our Chaos!!
****WARNING---LONG POST AHEAD***
So the last week has been pretty boring around here but definitely filled with chaos! Last week started off with a bang when V and S came down with the stomach bug. V stayed home from school on Monday which wasn't too bad since she just layed around most of the time.
Tuesday was back to normal..well as normal as 2 screaming, giddy, running around toddlers can be!
Wednesday the bug hit me but thank heavens its was not near as bad as the kids since I was supposed to be cleaning my house so my sister could come visit!! Oh and did I mention that M came home from school on Wed with it too??!! What did I tell you? Chaos ruled our house! I am thankful that I at least felt good enough to bake a cake for V's 8th birthday. Wow time flies!
Thursday I spent the day trying to clean and de-germ our house so hopefully my sister and niece wouldn't get sick too. They had already had it the week before! They finally arrived just after the girls got home from school and everyone was super exicted to see each other. Around 5pm I received a message from school that because of the impending snow all schools were closed on Friday. What better vacation could you ask for??!!
Friday we spent the day cleaning out the girls clothes so we could pass them down to my niece. Thank you to my sister for the help!! Oh and we all waited for the snow that we were supposed to get.
Saturday morning I woke up to let the dogs out and could barely open the door there was so much snow out there! A little late is better than never. Whoo hoo! We bundled up all the kiddos and sent them out to play. My niece had never seen snow before as they live in Alabama so she was so excited!! Daddy helped all the kids build a snowman since I, being from Alabama myself, had absolutely no clue.
Sunday they were supposed to head back to AL but since the roads were not all clear they stayed another night. Great for the kiddos since school was cancelled for Monday as well! Daddy took all 5 kiddos out and about so M could go to dance rehearsal and so my sister and I could continue to clean out closets and clothes. How awesome was that? I agree...pretty freaking awesome!!
Daddy went back to work on Monday and my sister left so it was just me and 4 kiddos who were becoming overrun with cabin fever. No way was I leaving the house unless I had to though as the last time I drove in snow/slush I decided it would be fun to total my van. No way, no how were you getting me out in it! Ok well I had to get out and take M to dance but I left plenty of time for traveling as slow and carefully as possible!
The rest of this week has been filled with as much chaos as possible. The younger 2 kiddos have been adjusting to an empty house since everyone is back to work/school. Between dance, making hairbows for dance, and all over life we have been pretty busy! I woke up this morning feel under the weather and hope I am feeling better pretty quick! I have tons more bows to make before tomorrow afternoon!
I hope all of my readers are doing great!!
PS..pictures to come as soon as my wonderful hubby will transfer them to my computer! ;)
