My Weekend and More

Matt sent the girls to Gma and Gpa's house Friday night so her could take me out to dinner for my birthday.
Good thing since I was so upset by his lack of enthusiasm for my birthday Wednesday.
We tried to go to Osaka, I really wanted to have hibachi.
Guess the place is very popular and is pretty much a reservations required type of restaurant.
We sat for 45 minutes waiting for a table.
Then I went up and asked the rude, unhelpful hostess how much longer it was going to be.
She looked at me and said, "um, ya, it's going to be awhile."
We left.
Nothing like Magic Kitchen.
Followed by a trip to Menards and Culvers for ice cream.

I went to another tile place Saturday.
I have found what I want to for the laundry, mud room, and girls bathrooms.
Still not sure on the master bath and shower.

Also ran errands...still had some Christmas presents to exchange.
I also spent an hour in Hobby Lobby.
I love Hobby Lobby!
It makes me happy.

We worked on Valentines and Peyton's Half Birthday stuff Sunday.
She took brownies that we wrapped up to look like presents.
She was happy until this morning when another screaming fit hit.
I am not letting her do anything on the weekends ever again (which I have said before, but seriously, she does better when we just stay home).
She will stay home and nap and be on her regular schedule every day.
I am so tired of fighting with her every day.
She slammed Kalee's hand in the closet, threw a fit over the clothes that she picked out the night before, screamed about her tooth brush...
I can't handle it anymore.
It makes me feel horrible, and is a horrid start to the day/week, every day.

Anyway...
I'm tired of hearing about the weather, but am just going to say that I really hope it is not as bad as they are predicting.
I want my house done and it's hard to work on it if the weather is bad and Matt is stuck in Decatur.
I do have functioning garage doors after this weekend.
And electricity.
And a good start to my plumbing.
Septic is on standby until weather clears.
Need runs put in for Geothermal system.
HVAC needs finished up.
Then insulation and start drywall!!
I feel like drywall will be the turning point to the finish line.
So I am anxious to get it finished!

I Hurt

I hurt my back. It hurts bad. I can hardly nod my head without it hurting. I don't know what happened. But it hurts in case you didn't get that. I took some drugs and have been laying on a heating pad, so it is feeling a little better. I need to run, but just don't know if that will happen tonight. This puts a cramp in my training! (That's my sob story of the day.) ****** Last night Matt was telling me how he just puts Kalee in bed and she stays there and will fall asleep. So I let him show me. Well, he put her in and she started crying and crying. Then we heard her get up. She went into the bathroom...don't know what she did in there. But she came out and closed the door, then went back to bed. We then heard her yelling Blankies, Blankies!! Stuck, Stuck! So Matt went in and got her blankies unstuck and put her back down. She cried some more, then we saw her nightlight go out and heard her door slam shut. She then went into Peyton's room and had a chat with Peyt...

Day 2

Day 2 went just as well as day 1 of Preschool. It seems too good to be true! Oh well, I'll take it! Peyton went right in and did her "jobs" (putting away her bag, folder and picking her drink). Then she went to play with a puzzle and read a book. No tears, no clinging, AWESOME!! Kalee was upset again that she didn't get to stay. She kept saying I want to play with the tractor puzzle at school. So she and I spent the morning playing outside. It's so funny how happy she is once we get home. I think she loves not having the competition for the toys or the bossiness that is Peyton telling her how to play! She had every baby out and every stroller with them. Plus, her tricycle, 4 wheeler, shopping cart, firetruck... I have a new TV obsession...Melrose Place. Sad, but true. I watched it last night and am hooked. Can't wait for next week! There may be a problem though...I think it is at the same time that DWTS is going to be on. Speaking of DWTS...di...

Sunny Monday

We had a fun day today. After Peyton got upset that Daddy and Pop were going to the ball park without her...it was a boys day...we decided to have a girls day. She told me that on girls days, you read stories and sing songs. Well, we haven't done any of those things yet, but we did swim a little in the freezing cold big pool. Then the girls swam in their little pool. They both brought their babies to the pools, so they had fun. I put the solar cover on the pool as soon as I got them out of it!! It's amazing that they don't ever think the water is cold! Peyton sliding with her baby Kalee "swimming." She sat in this little bucket for about 10 minutes! We had lunch and the girls napped. Then we went to the mall play place. I gave them the option of the playground and feeding the ducks or the play place. Peyton wanted the play place. Really, I think they have more fun playing on the little cars that move when you put money in them. They don't even need them to...
