What a mess!

We got home late Sat night. Rory was home alone for the week and my kitchen was trashed. I found myself moping the floor at midnight cause I can't stand it when my feet feel dirty.

We had a good visit with Josh's family. I was able to see my best friend and her kids one day. I wish we lived closer! Sugar had to go to the ER while we were there. She was complaining of her ear hurting. Turns out not only did she have an ear infection but she had strep. She had to get a penicillin shot (which scared her mama) and some antibiotics. She is feeling a little better.

I'm waiting on DH to get home. He got something in his eye this morning. After driving a good way home he asked me to drive the rest of the way because his eye was hurting so badly. He went to the ER after we got home.

messy, messy and even more messier!

How is it possible that a house were 4 people live can become so incrediably messy?

It's really bad around here.

I was gone all day yesterday and most of today.

So............

Things are very unorganized. More unorganized than usual, since my house is rarly organized.

Which means I'll be spending the better part of my Sat cleaning up.

Because we might have guests at some point over the weekend.

My brother and his family are moving south.

They leave tomorrow and will be driving through our town on the way to their new town at some point over the weekend.

I am pretty excited to have family 3 hours away.

My girls can get to know their uncle, auntie and cousins.

Oh, I forgot I will also be baking. I finally got all the things needed to do Christmas goodies.

I almost didn't because it's getting so close to Christmas but Aynslee is really into helping.

She asks daily to make some cookies.

We will be making:

Monkey Bread, from the girls new Paula Deen cook book from Grandma.

Fudge

Haystacks

Cresant cookies

Oreo Truffles

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

sleep, oh how I miss thee

It's happening again. I think I suffer from insomnia. Seriously I am so tired at night but some nights have a terrible time falling asleep. Other nights I go to sleep without a problem only sleep a few hours and wake up. It's getting old very,very fast. Last night was one of those nights I was so exhausted. I had tried to take a nap earlier in the day but the girls wouldn't cooperate. We get in bed at ten, I just can't seem to fall asleep then I hear Aynslee knocking on the door. She was up a lot last night talking and not wanting to sleep so I never really got any rest. And when she woke up before 7:00am this morning I was not ready to be awake.

Most mornings I wake up grumpy and groggy and find it hard to get stuff done. Like this week I can't seem to recover from being away for 2 days. The house was picked up before we left, floors vaccumed and mopped. Today it looks like we had a dirty race in teh kitchen and there are toys and piles of clean clothes almost every where the eye can see.

And as I look around at the mess, I feel even more grumpy and almost nervous from all the cauitous around me. Yet, I can't find the energy to clean everything up.

The only thing I did accomplish this week was reorganizing and cleaning out the girls closet but I left a mess on their floor. One of them wouldn't let me finish. I can't remember which one now.

We have a yard sale to get ready for on Sat. Nothing, I mean NOTHING is ready. And we need to get stuff out at 8:00am for it. We really need to participate in this since we have loads of junk we need to purdge. Maybe I can get to some of it tomorrow.

I need to close this. I have a million and one things to do while Avery takes a nap........
