Wonderful Weekend, Full of Blessings

I am so thankful for this past weekend. As we have struggled so much with sickness, we finally were blessed with a good weekend. Not only did the kids feel good, but we finally sold our little bulldog, that we have been trying to sell for about a month now, and it couldnt have happened at a better time with student loans being due! It was bittersweet because Memphis was such a sweetie, but I am very relieved and can now spend more time with my family and home and working on my writing, etc. It is sunday evening and the kids are taking their turns in the bubble bath ( a sunday night tradition at our house, full of bubbles, barbies and transformers, lol) and Im already in my comfy jammies ready to relax and snuggle.
Tomorrow will be a great day, full of promise and the hope for a great week. I will be working hard on my spring cleaning, I started it very early this year, so that I can take my time and do a good job! I am already excited about my monster yard sale that I will be having in March!!! Hey maybe I will make enough for another student loan payment, lol. Darn that college edumacation that my hubby has! Just kidding of course, I am totally thankful for it. He is blessed with a full time job in the trade that he chose which is a big blessing right now in this unstable economy. Good weekend to all!!!!!

I took all three kids to dr yesterday, all three strep tests came back positivie, they have awful throats, rashes covering their entire bodies and very high fevers ( marlee's was 103.8 when we got to dr! Dylans was 102.5) So we are once again, disinfecting the house, cleaning up the puke from coughing, and dishing out motrin and antibiotics three times a day! Life is CRAZY at the Kaylor house!!!!

CRAZY WEEKEND!!!!

Ok, this was the worlds strangest weekend. First of all friday morning we awoke to a drug bust at the rental across the street. full swat team in MY front yard, because it was easiest access to the house. the freakin video is on youtube. anyway, so that was crazy, but thankfully went well i guess?? LOL. Made our neighborhood look not so good. Anyway, so saturday was valentines day and we got the kids some candy and cards and a movie, my parents brought over more candy and keiths parents brought over MORE candy. Well, to make a long story short, Dylans milk allergy has obviously gotten worse. He spent many hours through saturday night into sunday puking the candy up. He kept passing out and it was awful. So sunday we kind of just were in a daze, tired and worried, and then boom. weekend over. so strange. like it was never even there!
Today ( monday) everyone was feeling fine, so we headed over to a family from churchs house, they had an inspection on there house coming up wednesday and decided to move all the bedrooms around, etc before the inspection!!!! Crazy!!! So the kids played all day long with there kids, and us adults worked our batooties off trying to get things up the stairs and down the stairs and in this bedroom, then to this bedroom. I was soooo sore and tired when i got home!!! We had been there almost 6 hours!! Does that count for my workout for the day?? I was carrying boxes and tables and such up and down the stairs, surely that counts right??????
So tomorrow the kids ( and I) are excited because High School Musical 3 comes out. We didnt get a chance to see it in theaters, so we are pretty happy!!!! Im going to chillax tomorrow and play with my babies and watch HSM3, and then on wednesday we have a playdate with some new homeschool friends we've met here in Hannibal!! We are excited about that too! Thursday Keith is off work for our lawyer appts, yay, it will finally finally finally be over!!!! Then its friday, and the blessed weekend again!!!! I love having a clear calendar for weekends!!!
Well im off to bed. So i can get up and do life all over again!!!
