Irritated

It's official. I came home from work and now I'm irritated. Aaron was home with the kids and when I left work the house was semi clean, and I had the notion that my husband would put away the two hundred dollars worth of groceries I'd just bought an hour before I had to go to work.

I worked from four thirty to ten tonight and my feet and legs were achy when I got home. All I wanted to do was sit down, eat a small supper and go to bed. Was it to much to ask that?
Forget it. The place is a disaster, my three year old has pink eye in not one, but both eyes, and seventy five percent of the groceries still needed to be put away. Also, my baby is going to wake up when I want to go to bed because he needs to nurse. It's frustrating! I'm working twenty five to thirty hours a week, taking care of three kids in the ten hours of the day I'm home and awake, and trying to stay on top of my house to boot. I'm officially crabby at my hubby. I get home, and like I said the place is a mess, and he gets up, and goes to bed! Here I'm left to clean and go to bed to just repeat the cycle all over again tomorrow! I can't do it! It's just too much, I can't do everything. I wish I could but I can't. Actually, thinking about everything makes me want to just cry.

Sorry bout the venting, I probably sound like a broken record. Tonight was just a big disappointment when I got home. I understand that he works during the morning too, and donates plasma twice a week, and he made supper tonight, but he could have at least put the rest of the groceries away.... right?

Missing my Gadget

I'm trying to find my camera case. I don't know where I put it, but I need it! I have pictures that need downloading onto the computer, but I need my little gadget to do it! Can't remember what it's called at the moment. But I am missing it.....

On a funny note, Jenna has been singing Hannah Montana's song " He Could Be The One" all day today. :) Except she doesn't know what the whole song. Only the one phrase he could be the one, and she sings that over and over. She uses her closed fist in front of her mouth to be her microphone. It was cute and funny. Then Travis, not one to be outdone, or left behind decided he'd start singing too. So, my three and a half year old, and almost two year old were singing he could be the one today. :) I love it when they use their imaginations to play. Before the H.M. song, they played house. Jenna was the mom, and Travis was her little girl named Rena, and I was the sister, also named Rena. They'd found an old pink plug in the toy box and Travis had it in his mouth and was crawling on all fours. They even had a pet alligator named.... yep... Rena. :)

Levi is 6

Happy Birthday to my littlest brother Levi! He turns six today. He was 3 years old when Jenna is born. My kids are lucky to have him for an uncle. He's always so willing to play with them and to help take care of them. He's the baby of our family and we love him a bunch. Happy Birthday Little Man! Love you!

Jenna's World

This is what went on in Jenna's world today:

She rolled herself in a blanket on the couch and shouted " Look! I'm a human taco!"- not exactly sure where that came from. :)

Then, we are trapping fruit flies in a jar with a small chunk of banana, and she had a bazillion questions about them. The best one, " Where do the flut flies sleep?" I told her I wasn't sure. Her reply was " Them haves a banana bed!" Made perfect sense to her. :)

After a Long Day

I worked a five and a half hour shift again at Target tonight. It was a fun busy. LOTS of brand new babies and pregnant moms came thru my line. I was pooped and sore by the time I got home at ten thirty and was pretty much planning on nursing my baby and crawling into bed.

As soon as I walked in the door Aars told me he had drawn a hot bath for me and to go soak in the tub. As soon as I walked through the bathroom door, a waft of hot steam hit me, and I noticed a lavender smell in the air. Also, there was a dozen roses and a card sitting on the ( freshly cleaned) counter next to the lavender salts. I opened the card and it was an anniversary card with a letter inside of it. The letter was a re- written engagement night letter. Aaron and I used to exchange letters in the mail and in person while we were dating. Well he wrote me a letter the night we got engaged and in the excitement and bustling of the night I lost it along our travels somewhere. It is always a little thought that I was sad about, because it meant alot to me. Well, he wrote me a new one tonight. Totally melted my heart and made me cry happy little tears.

After my half hour bath (did I mention he put rose petals in the tub too?) I came upstairs and he had a bottle of lotion he'd gotten earlier while I was at work, and gave me a ten minute foot rub. It was heavenly on my weary feet. I was feeling a little frustrated with him today while trying to do laundry and dishes while getting ready for work, so it was a very pleasant surprise to come home too. It was so simple, but yet so meaningful. I am sure I will always remember my 5th wedding anniversary treat. I love him and it that love just grows stronger over time. Thank you Aars. I LOVE YOU.

I lied

OK, sorry, I guess I lied. I won't be posting pictures today because it's WAY to nice outside and I have to work tonight. My first official shift being back to Target. I'm ready, but doesn't it just figure that we finally have a day decent enough to hit the beach and I have to work? Life works in funny ways like that sometimes. I had errands to run this morning, like going to the bank, the grocery store, insurance office, and the library. Piddly things that just needed to get done. I also made supper for my family + Emma for when I'm gone tonight. I made the taco salad that is at showers all the time. Looks yummy and was so simple to make. Emma came down for a few days to help babysit tonight while I'm working and Aaron has his golf meet that he has every Monday. Not sure what we're gonna do next Monday when I work again.... guess we'll cross that hurdle when we get there. We might be up north this weekend for Sat. and Sun. I have Sat. off, and don't know when the next one will be. Aars has a possible side job, and I really want to get out in that blueberry patch. We'd probably pitch our tent and just stay at the camp. We'll see. But for now, I am gonna go soak my feet in the wading pool outside and stay cool til it's time for me to go to work.

I won't promise pictures tomorrow in case they don't get done, but I promise I'll post some when I catch my breath again. :) Have a happy Monday!

Honey I'm Home!

I am finally home after being gone for two weeks. I'll post pictures from my adventures tomorrow. :) Hope everyone had a good weekend!
