Ok, my kids will tell you it wasn’t so secret.
Kat had soccer practice scheduled from 5:15 to 6 and Jordan from 7 – 8 tonight. I was DREADING it. It was 38 degrees out. Not exactly ideal weather to take 3 kids who have colds out in. Kat’s practice was canceled first, Jordan’s second. Both kids were bummed. I was doing the dance of joy, you think I’m joking, I was literally doing the dance of joy. No soccer tonight, no soccer tonight, we don’t have to freeze our butts, no soccer tonight. Sung to the Farmer In The Dell.
Yes, 3 kids have colds. It started with Alyce running from the nose constantly. Then progressed on to Kat. Now Christiano is all stuffed up. I didn’t think babies were supposed to be sick until 6 months. Immunity from mom built in and all that jazz. Nope, he’s got a little cough and is sneezing and sounds like a little piggy when he is breathing. Lovely. I haven’t gone all panicky mom on him yet (If you know me, I tend to do that – quite proud of myself so far). I’m pretty sure if I take him to the doctor with a stuffed up nose and an itty bitty cough (it’s not like croup cough) that my DR will say it’s just a cold, keep his head elevated, use saline drops, cold humidifier, etc etc etc. We’ve been through this – many times considering this is my 4th kid. As long as he has no fever and isn’t having problems breathing and the cough isn’t scary, I’ll watch him for now.
I’ve had a sore throat building the last couple of days. I don’t think it’s strep because it doesn’t feel THAT bad. More annoying during the day, painful when I first get up then anything else. It’s the headache that gets me. I think it’s from the epidural. I’ve had one every day since Christiano was born. And pain in my back where they put it in at. You always know there are risks with messing with the spine, I’ve just never had the side effects of the epidural before, and that was my 4th one. I was more concerned when the anesthesiologist said that it might take out a bit of my tattoo then I was about the side effects this time. HUH? They’ve never said it could take out a bit of my tat before. Not that I was about to go natural mind you. Off on a tangent again.
Ok, since I got on the Twilight kick yesterday, this funny site was tweeted to me tonight.
Dude, it’s Pocket Edward. I was rolling. Some people have the cutest ideas.
Ok, now, I promise, I’ll stop being outwardly obsessed with Twilight and keep it to myself. It’s not even the movie, though I did enjoy that, I just love the characters in the book, and I want another book to read bad. I think I may check half.com and see if they have any other of Stephenie’s books listed there. Otherwise, I just need to get to the half price book store and get some books period. I’m out.
Alright, so what else is new? I got 2 of my kids to bed before 8:00 . But, one just got up. Katiana. She just wandered out and fell back to sleep on the couch. Which means I’ll be carrying her back in if Pato doesn’t get home at a decent time. Y’all do know him buying me the soundtrack the other day was his way of bribing me not to be um, witchy, because he was home late, right? It was like a peace offering as he walked in the door. He was back to being a poo today. *sigh*
Speaking of dancing earlier, I have GOT to get Alyce into dance next year. She cracks me up when we watch Dancing With The Stars – which I think I missed tonight because I was watching Idol. Last night when Little Kim and Derrick (Sp?) were dancing the Argentine Tango she goes over to Christian’s bouncy chair (it’s the one that sits up couch height, not the little ones on the floor) and holds on with one hand. Then she sticks one leg out and tries flipping it around like they were doing, mind you, this is my 2 year old. She’s all trying to flip her head around like the dancers. I tell you, she was getting into it until she knocked herself down on the floor. It was all I could do to keep from cracking up. I knew if she knew I was watching her she’d stop. Cutest thing ever!
And Idol – Adam Lambert knocks my socks off every time. I LOVED his version of Play That Funky Music. When I first heard that was what he was doing I was really skeptical. I really liked Scott, I don’t care what anyone else thinks, I think he is very talented, not crazy about his hair tonight, maybe if it was shorter?). I thought Allison’s hair was channeling Tina Turner in a bold red. Kris was awesome, Danny was great. I didn’t get to hear what they said about Lil, but I’m wondering if I’m the only one that thought she was off key a lot? Megan, I could take or leave her (while we are on hair, I liked her little braid). Not a huge Matt fan and I normally like Anoop, not so much tonight,
Alright, I’m going to go get some stuff done before Christiano wakes up and demands my full attention. Too late.
Have a great night/day!

What a sweetie he is. One of my girls had almost black eyes like that. She’s 3 and they’re now grey, with just a hint of sometimes blue, sometimes green. Your beautiful little man has my hands jumping, just waiting for my little man to join the world in the next 6-7 weeks.
