Another Bad Week

Man, what is up with bad weeks lately?
Skylar had a fever after she woke up from her nap Sunday afternoon. It finally broke last nite before she went to bed. I gave her a bath Monday nite to help soothe and comfort her, but she SCREAMED through the whole thing!!! She usually LOVES it when she has a fever... Not so this time around.
Kotah also complained off and on Monday and today of her throat hurting.
Gavin woke up yesterday from his nap with a "bad head hurt" and he had a slight fever. So I made him eat a little supper, and then gave him some Tylenol to help his fever. It WORKED!!! :O) He is fine today!!! Skylar is better now too, but she is still a little fussy. She also has a slight runny nose.
After today, I had HAD IT!!!!!!!!!! The older two have been at it ALLLL day today and most of yesterday!!! I broke my "2 movies a week" rule, they've watched one every nite since Monday. It seems like that is the ONLY thing that will keep them quiet and they can actually sit on the same couch with out complaining and fussing and arguing! They have been at each other's throats!! I am to the point where I don't intervene! I let them at it and see if they can't figure it out!! (Let's just say they've had a LOT of time outs this week and toys taken away!) Kotah has been mouthing back to me like nobody's business and when I tell her to go to her room or sit in the corner, she says no, I am not gonna. Then she gets in more trouble, then STOMPS to where ever I told her to go, THROWS herself to the ground and cries.
I feel like I am soooooooo behind on EVERYTHING!!!! I did NOTHING Monday and Tuesday. Skylar would NOT let me put her down! (And when I did, let's just say, it's a good thing you don't live on our street!!! :O)) I was lucky to get them all fed!!
I put in a movie for the kids and came back upstairs to get some more things done. I had to go downstairs and put something away and Gavin came over and said "come sit here mom." I said, I am sorry bubby, I need to go do some more stuff. Then he asks, well, are you going to come after you done? I said, I dunno. I went upstairs and felt the guilt rush over me... I put one more thing away and went down to watch the rest of the movie with them. They don't care whether things are put away and if the dishes or laundry is done. They just want some mommy time. Kinda like God wants us to have Father/Daughter time or Father/Son time. I have slacked in my devos this week and feel bad about it! It makes the day usually worse for me if I miss spending time in prayer and in the Bible. I have listened to some sermons on my iPod, but that isn't the same as spending deep intimate time with God.
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28
For who is God besides the Lord? And who is the Rock except our God? It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect. 2 Samuel 22:32-33

Dear God,
Help me to spend MORE time with You than worrying about what my house looks like. Help me to spend the time I need to spend with the kids. I want them to see You shining through me and they can't see that if I am to busy trying to get everything done! Help them to get a good nite's sleep and ready to listen tomorrow. Fill me up Lord, I need You,
Amen

(Just a warning, if you some to my house, it will look like a BOMB went off... :O))

Cancelled

What a busy crazy day! Curt left right away this morning around 7 to get his blood taken.  He got back and then Audrey got here.  We played and picked up for a bit then left to go to the Health Department to get our TB test done.  We got there around 10ish and they told us we needed to make an appointment.  So we waited for a bit to make an appointment.  Thankfully they had an opening for today yet.  They only do these tests on Friday, so we really didn't want to have to wait until next Friday if at all possible.  Got an appointment for 1:15 and 1:30.  I was thinking ugh, either no nap and very little nap, but I didn't care!  ;) Got home, cleaned up a bit more, got the kiddos some lunch, then we turned around and left to go back to the Health Department.  (I did NOT see the water guy! ;)) Got back there, got asked some questions, wanted to know why I need the test...  I said adoption.  They saw all the other 5 kids and as...

Run-Aways

Wow, this has seriously been an eventful week! Starting off with the whole fabric softener mis-hap, which you can read on here if you didn't see or hear about it! Then Curt left Monday nite, Tuesday, well, it was ok, we had mom's group and the kids were acting up a bit, but nothing too bad... Then Wednesday I had a meeting at the church... It started out ok, the meeting wasn't long at all! Gavin came into the room and said he wanted to go play outside on the playground. I told him no, because I couldn't see him. I said, what if someone came by and picked you up and grabbed you and took you somewhere? Mommy would never see you again and I would be soooo sad! I said, I can't see you, so you need to stay inside. Well, not more than 3 minutes passed and Kotah comes up to me and says, uh, mom, Gavin is trying to go outside. So, I get up, go over to him and talk. I asked him what is he doing? he says, I WANT to play OUTSIDE! I said, bubby, I can't see you, so you can...

Update on Dad...

Mom called a little while ago. Dad will be admitted, they aren't sure yet what caused the pain. He had fever, but it now is broken. He is also a little jaundice, so that is why they were/are thinking that his stent moved... They had to poke him 3 different times to try and get an IV in, his veins were so tight because he was in so much pain, he was tensing up. They took some blood from both arms and are still waiting on the results of that. They also did a chest x-ray. So still waiting, but atleast he isn't in any pain. The gave him a shot of morphine to take care of the pain, and it finally worked.
