sick kids
The boys have had cold like symptoms for about a wk or so, but nothing new for them. Seems like, Jaden at least, never gets rid of his colds. Well, 2 day ago, they started getting the green buggers in the eyes, which is never a good sign. And then that night, we were up w/both of them till 2 in the morning! So, I took them into the doctor's yesterday, and Jaden has a double ear infection and Asher has a left ear infection. Not that anytime is a good time for them to get sick, but since I'm leaving for the wkend and my inlaws are going to watch them all day Saturday, this definitely isn't the time for them to be sick. I'm hoping they'll be acting ok today, so I feel semi-ok about leaving my sick babies.

praises in little things
Ok, so just some little things that I'm thankful for or happy about. Here they are:
I LOVE LOVE LOVE my job! I love what I do, and I LOVE the people I work with! I was supposed to be training for 2wks, and as of tomorrow, I am on my own!!! Some drawl backs are that I wanted to use some of the money to get Jaden into like swimming lessons or gymnastics, and now I'm not sure if I'll have the time to do it w/him. On a plus side, I'm getting the water pump fixed on my van tomorrow for a discounted, yep DISCOUNTED price *happy dance*
Tomorrow we're getting Dish Network hooked back up. We've been doing Netflix bc I needed something fun in my life, but I really stink at sending the dvds back. So, since they're running a really great deal, not much more then what we pay for Netflix, we decided to get rid of Netflix and hook up our Dish again. We haven't had Dish for about 3yrs now, and I will be SO HAPPY to get rid of the bunny ears!
And lastly, I'm just excited about this wkend. Not only did it work out that my wkend rotation is on Shaun's days off, but it also worked out that I have this wkend off. What is this wkend you ask?? Well, it's a shopping trip to my FAVORITE outlet mall w/a bunch of women from church. It's an over-night thing, so I'm getting away from my kids and my husband for the 1st time in yrs. I'm driving up w/Heather after I get out of work, and I just can't wait!!!
Oh, and next wk, we're taking Jaden (Asher too, but it's really for Jaden) to see Thomas the Train. He LOVES Tommy, and my FIL found that he's coming to the Henry Ford Museum and got us tickets. Jaden is going to be SO excited to see Tommy, and he'll get to ride on the train which will just make his year!!
Sorry, most of this is probably like, whatever, to most people, but I wanted to share my joy :)

Rock on God!
I just wanted to send out a shout of praise to the most awesome God and the only God worth serving! Being human and especially being me, it is hard not to worry when things don't look good. Especially when it affects your family. For anyone who isn't a mom, the feelings that come w/it are just too deep, too surprising, and way too difficult to try to describe, but being the protective mother bear is diffinately one feeling that comes w/motherhood. So, not knowing how things were going to get paid for was a real stressor for me! But, my God, the one I continully doubt even though I know it's wrong and unneccessary, has pulled through again by giving me this perfect job! I think I've already got it pretty well mastered. The people there are GREAT! The girl whom I will be working w/is super nice, and the guys in the shop are just a blast. They've been so kind to me and totally understanding and friendly. I just couldn't ask for anything more!
GOD ROCKS!!
GOD ROCKS!!

my day
Well, can we just say LONG DAY! For some reason, I was awake at like 6:30 this morning, and of course, couldn't get back to sleep. Not that it was THAT much earlier then I would have gotten up at 7, but still.... Went, picked up Malin and Micah, dropped Micah off to school, and then came home. I got Malin breakfast, played w/the boys until it was nap time. I layed w/Jaden for an hr trying to get him to sleep, finally giving up. I layed him on the couch by himself, shut off the tv, and he eventually fell asleep on his own.
During this time, my mom called me w/a list of things she needed me to bring over to the house for this thing at church tonight, so I'm getting all of that together while Jaden is sleeping. Then, hoping he stays asleep, even though Asher is already up and singing to himself in his crib, I go and do my hair. This of course is no longer a 1-2-3 thing bc I'm growing my hair out. Now, not only does it take me at least a half an hr to do my hair, I've also started wearing make-up. GRRRR, men have it SO much easier.
I get done just in time for Jaden and Malin to wake up. Now, I have to get everyone lunch. I put my two in, let Malin play for a bit, and start packing up the van. My two get done, and now it's Malin's turn to eat while I get my boys ready to go. Once they're ready and Malin is done eating, it's his turn to get ready to go, and then we head out.
We get to my mom's a little early bc I needed to get money for the youth fundraiser at church b4 I went to work. She's not there to help me get the boys in the house. So, I'm trying to get everyone inside, mean while, their new puppy is barking it's head off like it's dying. Asher is bawling bc he's afraid of it, and I still have to go bring in Malin. By time I get back, he's totally gone in his tears. I never did get him calm. I get everyone in the house and set up pack-n-plays to lay the babies down for their afternoon nap. By time I get that all done, my mom shows up, which is good bc I had to leave. I run to the bank, pick myself up something to eat bc I've managed to forget to feed myself, and hurry to work.
Work went really well. Everyone was EXTREMELY friendly! The job isn't that hard, though I did manage to mess up a transation, but it was like my 2nd of the day. I'm sure I'll have the job mastered w/in a wk and all will be good :)
After work, I rushed to church for the trivia night/youth fundraiser. My sister won the Oasis hot tub price that I SO wanted, we didn't win, but it was a lot of fun. That didn't get done till 9:15, way past the boys' bed time.
By time we got home, ASher was a sleep, and Jaden was so tired that he asked to be put to bed. I'm posting this, and then I'm going to relax in the bubble bath I have prepared for myself. AFter which, I am getting everything ready for work tomorrow and then heading to bed.
Good Night All!
