Happy New Year‼️

Today went so quickly!! I slept late with my little sick man. Then I woke up and my younger daughter and I watched a movie together. The movie was called The Christmas Prince. It was a romantic holiday. My daughter really loves it and wanted me to watch it with her. It was a sweet movie. I enjoyed it. After the movie, my hubby came home. He was with my dad. They were trying to figure out what was wrong with the van. The check engine light was on yesterday, once he got it running. My dad’s diagnostic tool told them that it needed a new battery. So they bought a new battery and they installed it. They also put air in the tires and topped off all of the fluids. So, my van should be good to go!! Once he got home, I went to Sobeys and the liquor store. Then I came home and had a shower. After the shower, I drove my daughter to her friend’s house, then I came home and got supper ready. After we ate supper, we went next door to our neighbours house. We usually see them for a bit on New Years Eve. We spent a couple hours there. Then we came home and my hubby and my son played a video game until the countdown. Then we watched one of the local shows and did the countdown together and called the girls to wish them a happy New Year. Afterwards, we had a little snack. Then I got my son into bed. Then myself! So it’s late and I’m going to bed! Happy New Year and Night All! 💤😴

🎼Baby It’s Cold Outside 🎶

It was/is sooooo cold outside!! Brrr! It’s been around -30 or even colder for the past few days. Yuck! Worst weather ever!! It’s just too cold to go anywhere unless you absolutely have to! I needed to pick up my prescription and a few groceries. Despite being plugged in, my van wouldn’t start. So, I was stranded at home until my hubby finished working. But, as I said. If you don’t have to go anywhere, don’t! My son was no longer throwing up today, he was just coughing uncontrollably. He could barely say anything or eat or anything, because he just couldn’t stop coughing! My oldest daughter and I went through the freezer and deep freeze to see what we had. That way we were able to make a grocery list based on things we had here. My younger daughter cleaned “her” (she calls it hers and uses it the most, but it’s the only one with a tub, so others use it) bathroom from top to bottom! She took everything out and totally cleaned it all. She put her new shower curtain up and all of her new bathroom things on the counter. It looks so much better than it did! When the van would not start, we decided to play a game. So the kids and I played Disney Scene It. After a series of easy questions, my oldest daughter won!! Then my hubby came home from work. He boosted the van with the black car (which is so opposite from normal). My younger daughter started on the ground beef, while my oldest and I went to the store to get taco stuff and some other things, including my prescription and batteries for my son’s toy walkie-talkies. Then I helped my daughter finish supper. Afterwards we played Speak Out for a while. It is funny. Afterwards, they put on some songs and tried to sing along with the Speak Out things in their mouths. It was really entertaining. Then it was close to 9:30 and I had to get my son to bed. Especially as he’s been sick. Once he was in bed, I got myself ready and into bed too. It’s cold in my room. I made sure that the vent is uncovered, but it is still just cold. Yuck! This weather sucks!!

Night All! 💤😴

Sick Boy!

If I thought that my son was sick and lethargic yesterday, well I obviously hadn’t experienced today yet! Today my son was miserable! He had a high fever, woke up and almost immediately threw up!! He was lying on the couch beside me moaning and holding his tummy. He was a super sick little man all day!! Most of my day consisted of taking care of him. Well, him and my little dog! She also had diarrhea and threw up, all over my house and herself! She was much messier than my son. I couldn’t figure out if she ate something that she shouldn’t have, it looked like she got into chocolate, but it didn’t look like anything was actually eaten or missing. Weird. Whatever it was, she was a gross little mess today. I certainly hope that whatever it is/was that it’s out of her system – I really don’t want to wake up to dog shit all over my floor!! Gross! On the positive side of things, my daughter was so much better today! After being in bed since Boxing Day, she was finally out of bed for most of the day! She was still coughing and had a runny nose, but she was up and moving and eating normally, etc. Now I just need my son to get better. I really didn’t do much today. I watched some baking shows with my daughter and once my oldest woke up, we watched a bunch of Kitchen Nightmares. I made some fries in my air-fryer again, the girls hadn’t tried them yet. I also made supper. But really, that about covers my day. Oh no. I gotta go. My son’s awake again. I hope he’s not going to be sick again…until tomorrow I guess!

Night All! 💤😴

Instant Pot Fail😞

Another sick day at my house. My daughter actually is a bit better today. She actually got out of bed today!! So that’s something I guess…My son was the same as yesterday and pretty lethargic for most of the day. We finished the puzzle with the photo of him on it. He played his new Ben 10 3ds game. We played his new Avengers Guess Who game, as well as Speak Out. I went to Sobeys to get a small roast and baby potatoes to try cooking in my instant pot. My hubby came home from work and we got everything ready in the Instant Pot. Then we turned it on and watched a show while it cooked. I gotta say, the meal was very very disappointing. Mushy carrots, mushy, flavourless potatoes and the roast was fine. Even the left over juices that I made into gravy were bland. I was very frustrated and just plain disappointed. I was so excited about my Instant Pot. I’m not giving up though, I will try again. Next time I will put the roast on the weird steaming rack thingy and I will do potatoes in a pot and mash them. I don’t really have a gravy solution though…hmmm. I have to think on that one. I will also shorten the time it took. After supper, my hubby and my son played a video game together and I half watched/half played around on my phone. We did this until bedtime. All in all a pretty laid back day. It’s supposed to get super cold during the night. I’ll probably be stranded to the house, because my van will be the only vehicle that starts in the morning and my hubby will probably take it to work. He discovered that the black car has something bent weird and it can’t even be plugged in. The other car, the Miata, isn’t even a winter car and likely won’t run. Somehow he took it today, but it’s really not meant for the winter. I have no idea of what he’s going to do. But I know what I’m about to do…I’m going to bed!!!

Night All! 💤😴

Sickos!

Oops! I accidentally took my bedtime pills before writing this, instead of afterwards. I’m going to keep this short, because I need to be lying down and ready to fall asleep at the correct time after taking my medication. There’s not a whole lot to say anyway!! My son and daughter are both still sick. My daughter spent the entire day in bed, not eating, mostly sleeping. My son was on the couch for most of the day. He’s pretty miserable! I find it’s worse, the younger they are. At least I’m not dealing with sick babies! Today was a relaxing, lazy day. My hubby played video games with my son a few times. Also, my son and I worked on a puzzle that he got for Christmas. I had it all taken apart and for him to see what the picture was, he had to put it together. It didn’t take him very long to figure out that it was a picture of him!! It was much harder than I thought it would be. We didn’t even finish it! At lunch time my hubby cut up a bunch of potatoes and I made fries in my air-fryer! They were quite good! This evening we just had turkey sandwiches for supper. My parents gave us some of the turkey Christmas Day. Because my son is playing the LEGO Jurassic World ps4 game, we decided to watch the movie so he knew the sequence of events. After the movie he was coughing like mad, so I got him upstairs and into bed. That’s about all that I have to say about today.

Night All! 💤😴

Happy Boxing Day!!

This is going to be a very short post today. My dumb, stupid, annoying, frustrating face is hurting (how surprising right?!) I’m sitting up in bed beside two sick kids, my younger daughter, who started coughing Christmas Eve and was feeling exhausted and sick yesterday and who woke up feeling worse today, feverish, achy and tingly with a headache and a cough; as well as my son, who told me this afternoon that his throat was scratchy and who now is coughing and has a fever of 103.5. What a fun Christmas break for them so far. My daughter spent the day in bed, she only forced herself to come downstairs at supper.

Despite the sick kids, we did get something accomplished today! We had to drive our oldest daughter to work, as the car she normally drives wouldn’t start today (it’s much too cold!!) Once we dropped her off, we went to the Home Depot in South Common. We used the money from my parents and picked out a new kitchen faucet!! We’ve needed one for some time now, our old one was leaking a lot and was pretty much beyond repair. So my dad and my hubby installed the new faucet, while my mom, my son and I looked at some of the new Christmas presents like the Instant Pot and the air fryer that I received. Once they were finished installing it, my parents went home and I sat with my son on the couch. He was playing one of his new video games. I put my daughter’s new sheets in the wash and sat with my son for a while. My hubby made us all breakfast for supper. I cleared the dirty kitchen table off and we had supper there. Afterwards, I put the sheets in the dryer and snuggled under a blanket for a while. Then, since I was falling asleep and my son really wasn’t feeling well, we went upstairs to get ready for bed. I also got myself ready too!!

Night All! 💤😴

It’s Christmas!!

Merry Christmas!!! It’s Christmas Day! The girls woke everyone up at about 7:30. We went downstairs and went through our stockings. Then we opened the gifts, 1 or 2 at a time. I received an instant pot and an air fryer!! Too cool!! I wanted both, but only expected to get one, because my hubby and I said that we weren’t buying that much for each other, because of our upcoming Jamaica trip. The kids all seemed happy about their gifts. Once we were finished at home, we got our things together and went to my parent’s house. My dad made breakfast for everyone, then we exchanged gifts with my parents. They gave my hubby and I money to put towards whatever we need. Once the gifts were opened, we played a game and tried out some of the new things. My sister and her family came around 4:30. We visited a bit and snacked a bit. Then we did the final round of presents. Afterwards we played another game. Then we had a wonderful supper, turkey with all of the trimmings. After supper we snacked on cookies, tarts, chocolates, etc. Then we tried a new game that my nieces received from my parents. It was fun! After the game ended, it was close to 10:00. We decided to get our things together and go home. When we got home we got ourselves ready for bed, into bed and on bed, writing this!! My dumb face was hurting for most of the day. I used some of my medicinal marijuana just before supper. It helped a bit. It’s super bad again right now though…how exhausting and frustrating!! I’m going to hit the hay!! Night All! 💤😴

Christmas Eve!

I know what I want for Christmas now…a new face! I’m just bloody tired of the one that I have. It has been super bad all day today! I don’t know how often I iced it, but it was a lot. It’s just exhausting!! Just really really bad!

Today was a cleaning day. No one wants to wake up to a dirty house on Christmas morning!! So we spent most of the afternoon cleaning. I also did some laundry. We all had certain pjs that we wanted cleaned for Christmas Eve, as well as clothes for tomorrow. I found a couple of things that I forgot to wrap, but they were just small, easy things that took no time! Basically, we had a Christmas Eve without the scrambling to get things done, which was nice!! I had a late shower, around 6:00. Then my younger daughter and I made supper. We all ate it in the living room, while watching the Grinch (the 2 hour one, not the cartoon.) We do this every year. Right after the movie, my hubby gave our son a speedy bath, then all the kids flopped on my bed while I read The Night Before Christmas. We also do this every year. Then I had to get my son to sleep, so Santa can come! I am writing this as he goes to sleep. I’m in a hell of s lot of pain right now. I wish that something would help, but nothing does. I don’t know what to do. I watched to curl up into a ball and cry! It’s just bad. Well, I need to go play Santa so that I can get some sleep. The kids will be up early, filled with excitement!! Merry Christmas everyone 🎅🏼‼️

Night All! 💤😴

No More Wrapping!!!

My face is killing me!! I just don’t know what to do about it. But, I do know that I just hate it!! I’m super tired too! I just want to lie down and go to sleep. This morning, my hubby went to work and my oldest went to my parent’s house to make cookies with my mom. I sat with my son and had breakfast and tea. Then we (my son, my younger daughter and I) got dressed and went to Shoppers. My daughter needed to buy some small gifts for her friends. We quickly went into Rexall, then I dropped her off to meet with her friends. My son and I went to the hairdressers and met my oldest daughter there. She was already getting her haircut. My son went after her and I went last. We quickly went to Sobeys afterwards, then I dropped my son off at a friend’s house to play. When I got home I had lunch and then I finished wrapping presents. I finished them all, before Christmas Eve this year!!! Go me!!! By the time they were finished it was 5:30!! I had to run to the pharmacy, because I forgot to pick up my prescription when I was there earlier. I got home and started supper. While the chicken was cooking, I started wrapping the gifts for my mom and dad and my nieces. My son came home while I was cooking. We ate supper and then my hubby and my son played downstairs on the PlayStation and I finished the gifts. It was almost 10:00 when I finished. Then I made some tea and sat down on the couch to write this. My face is just on fire! I need to get my son to bed, because it’s late for him. Then I’m getting ready myself. I may have to ice my face before bed. Then I’m going to sleep. Night All! 💤😴

Happy Anniversary‼️

Today while the kids were in school I wrapped like a mad-woman!! I was trying very hard to get everything done since it’s the last day of school before Christmas. I did get a lot done, but I didn’t quite finish. So it looks like I still have work to do tomorrow. Once the kiddos got home from school, I played games with my son. Around 5:30, I started to get ready to go out to dinner with my hubby. It’s our 17th anniversary today. We went to Lux Steakhouse and bar, downtown. We had two $50 gift cards. It was very very expensive ‼️ We had a share plate and a bottle of wine and a couple other things. It came to $261.00!!! (Including the tip!!). That’s definitely not a place we’re going to be going to all the time!! Can’t really afford it…at all! It was absolutely delicious though!! Very very good food! But, well, very pricey! My hubby also had flowers delivered to me today. They’re very beautiful! I didn’t get him anything, because we had decided we were not buying each other things this year. Except that he did anyway!! By the time we got home, it was 10:20. We were planning on going to a movie, but they all started so late! If we went, we wouldn’t be getting home until like 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning! Too late for me. Especially since my dumb ass face is in major pain and I just need to get to sleep! My son was still awake when we got home, so I got him to sleep and did a couple other things and then wrote this. I’m heading to bed now. Looking for relief in sleep! Night All! 💤😴
