My hubby is off this week from work for vacation but we aren’t really doing anything other than renting movies lol. That’s fine with me. I like to travel but it gets kind of expensive. We are also going to try to clean up the clutter in our living room. We have only been in the house for like 2 and a half years but it looks like we’ve been there 20 lol.
We also have a mouse who has been living in the kitchen. I saw him run across the floor the other day and then today, I opened up the drawer to the stove and he jumped out and ran. I have a trap set out so I hope I can catch him soon. I’m not really afraid of mice, I just don’t like them leaving their little droppings everywhere. I guess he’s in the house in search of air conditioning lol.

Rhiannon had 2 practice games yesterday and her team won both of them. She hit fairly well, it surprised me. I think she’ll get better with practice. Trey did not want to sit still. The ballpark was a mess because it’s rained on and off for the past couple of weeks. My parents and sisters took turns entertaining him. He was very cranky because he didn’t get his nap. I tried all day to get him to take a nap but he refused. He’s just at that age where he doesn’t want to do anything I ask him. He fell asleep on the way to the game and only got maybe 10 minutes of sleep. I had to wake him up and so he was not happy . Rhiannon went home with my cousin (she has a daughter about 6 months younger than Rhiannon) and Jake stayed with some friends last night. So it was just Will, Trey, and me. After the games, Will and I went to get groceries last night at like 9. I didn’t want to take Trey because I knew he’d be whining and throwing a fit. We got one of those big buggies that have the little compartment for older kids to sit in. Those things are so hard to steer lol. He brought Rhiannon’s DS and you would think that would pacify him, but he kept wanting me to play the game for him. I was glad that our shopping didn’t take that long. I was tired and ready to go home. I had to give Trey a bath because he had dirt on him from the ballpark. I fed him a late supper and made him go to bed. He was so tired. He got up in a decent mood today because when he got up, Rhiannon was home. He loves to hang out with his big sister. I’m glad because it gives me a little bit of a break because during the week, it’s just him and me here. He’s constantly getting into something and hardly slows down .

It’s nice to get a little break….

Trey is taking a nap now, thank goodness. He’s been up since 4:30 am. I did get to go back to sleep for a little bit, but I didn’t sleep that well because I knew if I did, he’d be into something :D.
The kids are out of school tomorrow. I am not sure what we’ll be doing. It might rain tomorrow, but if it doesn’t we might go to the park. Rhiannon’s class is having an Easter party today. I bought some candy for her to take. I am hoping she brings some back (especially those sixlets I sent..I love those!) but usually, she doesn’t. Oh well, I don’t really need that candy anyway .
Jake got a new puppy from my sisters the other day so he’s not really interested in the hamster that’s still MIA. I doubt we’ll ever find it. Jake said the hamster was really active so he probably got outside. Trey took Rhiannon’s hamster out again yesterday. I’ve tried to explain to him that a hamster is not like a puppy and it will run away. He’s only 3 so he doesn’t really comprehend that. Then again sometimes, I think he just likes to see how far he can push me .

I haven’t made a really good post in awhile LOL. I guess I will do that now . The kids will be out of school in a couple of weeks…didn’t they just go back? Trey is just getting smarter and smarter. He can spell his own name verbally and he has used his little magnetic letters to spell it on the refridgerator. He also knows all of his colors and basic shapes. He’ll be 4 next month.

Oh, yesterday I had to go and pick Rhiannon up from school. She has sensitive skin and just about anything and everything makes her break out in hives, especially stuff outside like grass… Well she had been playing outside most of the day Sunday and had a few hives on her face. I took her home and gave her some Zyrtec. She woke up the next day and she had a rash on her face that was itchy and her eyes were a little puffy. I figured it was just allergies. I put some benedryl cream on her face and sent her to school. I figured they would call me but I sent her anyway because she had already missed some days this semester because she was sick. She didn’t have a fever or anything so I knew it was just allergies. Around 8:20 I got a call from the school nurse to come and pick her up. I tried to explain to the nurse that Rhiannon has allergies and I was sure that’s all it was. She started going on about the kids having Fifth’s disease last year and thought it might be that. I think Rhiannon has already has it and it seems like I read somewhere that if you get it once you are unlikely to get it again. But you can’t argue with people who think they know everything so I told her I’d come and pick her up. My dad was at home so I got him to go and get her so I didn’t have to get Trey out of the house. My dad brought her home and she was feeling fine other than her face being a little itchy. I made her an apppointment at the doctor’s office since the school nurse insisted i take her to the doctor to make sure it wasn’t contagious. By the time we go to the doctor, the rash was almost gone. The doctor couldn’t believe they sent her home for that rash. She said it didn’t look anything like Fifth’s. She said it was just atopic dermatitis caused by allergies. Rhiannon also has eczema and I’m surprised they haven’t sent her home because of it. I mean if you are going to be a school nurse, at least try to learn the difference between allergies and Fifth’s. If I really think my kids are sick, then I don’t send them to school. I made sure that the doctor wrote on her excuse that she was not contagious. Rhiannon really likes school and she was not happy she had to come home lol.

Rhiannon’s team got 2nd place in the softball championship yesterday. She was a little disappointed that they didn’t get 1st place but her team played a good game. She had several good hits and got out once I think.
The kids got out of school a few weeks ago and they did really well on their report cards. Rhiannon will be in the 3rd grade in August and Jake will be in the 7th. Trey still has another year until he starts school. He turned 4 on June 1st. We had a birthday for him at a really nice playground and he’s been wanting to go back ever since then lol. I wouldn’t mind going back and maybe walking around the lakes. It’s beautiful out there.

I have been thinking about getting a GPS. I have used one once and I really liked it. It makes it a lot easier when traveling. I think the one I used was a Garmin GPS. It told me exactly where the next turn was and if I missed that turn, it automatically recalculated my route. I think they are a lot more affordable now than when they first became available.

I like a good cup of coffee every once in awhile. I don’t drink it that much though. I looked at several different coffee makers before getting the one that I have now. I didn’t want anything too big so I just got a small one that makes about 4 cups. That’s usually enough for me. Too much coffee makes me nauseated lol.
