Whirl wind!

I feel as though a tornado has run through my life in the last couple of days! HAHA. This post will probably be scattered and hard to understand...just FYI
Last week we got a new car (see previous post) It was so exciting - My eyes still light up when I walk outside and see it. Just the thought of not having to drive my old piece of junk is lovely!
On Friday night, I was able to go out with a group of friends while JR stayed home with the kids. He wanted to go out, but had to work the next day and didn't want to be hungover in the heat! Lucky me! I had a really good time. It was nice to just step away from being mother and wife and just be Sara - at least just for a couple of hours.
Saturday seemed to go by at a snails pace. I was smart enough not to drink too much, so the hangover was non-existant! LOL But just because I didn't have a hangover, didn't mean the day was ay better. The kids were fighting all day. How does a 3 1/2 year old and a 9 month old fight, you ask? Well, it starts with Logan playing on one side of the room while Landry plays on the otherside..(I swear I have thought about buying separate pens! hahaha) Then inevitiably Landry will make her way over and take one of Logan's toys...he gets upset and starts saying, "no sissy, no sissy! Sissy stop it" I try to get him to share, but he will have none of it. Then comes the bargaining...."Logan, you have 5 cars, pick out 3 and give two to your sister."
"But, Mommy, no."
"Either share with your sister, or go upstairs with no toys."
MEANWHILE, Landry is crawling ALL OVER Logan flaunting the fact that she has his toy!
Logan is really patient as far as not hitting her or anything like that, I am very proud that he is using his words with her and not his hands. He will eventually give her ONE toy, and because she is content with that, I let it go. Then Logan will lay on his side and try to block Landry from getting anywhere near his toys. But, my daughter is smarter than he thinks...instead of going around him, she just crawls RIGHT OVER him, pinning him on the floor. HAHA He will lay there saying, mommy - get sissy, mommy, hold sissy in your lap. Sissy GET OFF! Now while this is funny for a few minutes...ALL DAY LONG GETS ON MY NERVES. I just tell myself to enjoy it while it so innocent, because when they are teenagers it will be MUCH WORSE LOL. JR didn't get off work until after 6, but we were really wanting to take the kids to see Despicable Me. The problem was that we needed to make dinner, and eat, and then the first movie we would be able to get to was the 9:00. Landry's bedtime is 8:00 so we weighed our options. I told JR could take Logan and I would stay home, but he wanted to go as a family and neither of us really wanted to get off her schedule by such a large margin. Its one thing to get home around 9:00 and have her off schedule by an hour...but just starting a movie at 9...a whole other story. So we stayed home and went to bed early.
At 6:00 Sunday morning Logan woke up vomiting. JR had to go to work so I was had a sick child all day! ROUGH! I felt like a horrible mother all day....he would throw up and there I was hearing it and seeing it and trying to get him to the bathroom while trying not to vomit myself. I can handle blood and broken bones....but my stomach just doesn't handle vomit. I can change the messiest, stinkiest, most grotesque diapers imaginable...but vomit is another story. I would get Logan cleaned up, then go to cleaning the area that was vomited on, all the while praying that I wouldn't add to the mess. I tried teaching him to throw up in the toilet...the effort was futile. ughhh. He threw up ALL day long. Poor kid. I went to the store and got some medicine and pedialyte, he still vomited. Grrrr. JR finally got home and I passed on the next couple of vomiting spells! I guess it was a 24 hour bug, because he is feeling fine today.
Today has been a long day and it isn't even 2:00! LOL Landry is learning new things every day. Today - how to open the gate to the stairs. How to open the entertainment center and get into all the DVD's. How to squeeze past the couch and get stuck behind it! Oh, she is keeping me busy. Logan is doing much better today. Playful, and loving and arguementative all at the same time. JR just called to inform me that the radio station he was listening to will be having a red head bikini boxing tournament on Aug. 13 and asked if I wanted to enter....UMMMM - Is he crazy? Apparently red heads put on a bikini, use oversized boxing gloves and jump on a trampoline while boxing for cash prizes. #1 NOT PUTTING ON A BIKINI, #2 NOT BOUNCING AROUND ON A TRAMPOLINE IN A BIKINI, #3 ITS RIDICULOUS, #4 WE AREN'T SO BROKE THAT I NEED TO BE DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT. So I said thanks for the information, but I'm not interested! LOL The man is crazy! Hahaha - at least it added some humr to my day! Hope it added some humor to yours as well.
