  • Cleaning and...

    On Monday, two days after my lazy Saturday where everything was sort of "cluttery and discombobulated", I got sick of it. So while the kids were eating breakfast, I tackled the kitchen. I deep cleaned the whole thing, then mopped. I swept and mopped our giant brick stairs, vacuumed the entire house, straightened up all the bedrooms, and cleaned all the bathrooms. By naptime I had one bathroom left, so I knocked that out and read to Will while the little guys napped. Now with relatively little maintenence, the house has been decently clean for the past two days! Nice. :)

    Last night I was at Lowe's after the kids were in bed, because KraftMaid (our cabinetmaker) recently rolled out some new cabinets/finishes and... *gulp* discontinued the finish that I'd been planning to use in our house! I am sick to my stomach at starting this whole kitchen thing over... the Lowe's guy thinks they may still have enough "pearl" finish leftover to do my cabinets, but not to count on it. *sigh*. Not cool. Not cool at all. So I was flipping through cabinets yet again last night. After that, I got Will his socks, shin guards and shorts for soccer tonight. He is so stinkin' excited about starting soccer. In fact, I just sent him upstairs to change, because he's been wearing his whole outfit (including cleats) around the house all morning. (I don't want him to get messed up before tonight, because tonight is team pictures.) (Right now he is up there singing "I am a soccer playerrrrrrrr" and the "err" is in falsetto. :) I think he must be excited about tonight. :) ) I have a low key day today, which is nice because I'm busy most of tomorrow with house stuff, and....

    On Friday I get my wisdom teeth out. I am ONLY happy about this because once it's done, I can get retainers to get my teeth re-straightened out. After braces, I had almost perfect teeth, and ever since, my wisdom teeth have been slowly pushing through and wrecking them. Argh. So I am looking forward to having these destructive things out of my mouth, but not to the pain and days of misery! And... I'll be on antibiotics for the first time in my life. Crazy, right? It's just amoxicillin, so I don't really care. The thing that I am sort of concerned about is that *ahem* Tristan is not completely weaned yet, and I have a scrip for Vicoden...   :S I'm hoping I can bump down to somthing a little less potent... so he doesn't have to go cold turkey. Though I'm sure he would be fine if he did-- he's only 20 months old. *rolls eyes*

    So! That's it from me. Let me know if you have any tips for surviving 4 holes being cut in your mouth... *sigh*

  • Awe ... you are so sweet. I would love to come to Pa and meet you, I would be refreshed just hanging out with you . I am refreshed just reading you xangas sometimes. Anyway.. we had a fun day today. I took Levi and Liat to the zoo. But .. it was so freaking hot. It was like 100 degrees. Anyway.. we bus everywhere for lack of car. I decided that we would walk there, and Levi really wanted to bring his little car with him. So because the whole way there is down hill... he drove 3 miles down hill all the way to the zoo in 100 degrees weather, we both drank lots of water and he was wearing a hat. Liat was sleeping in stroller. Anyway.. it was so much fun. He kept telling me how he went zooming for a very long time today and it was so fun for him. Well when we got to the zoo I was so wiped we just ate our food , I bought Levi some ice cream and we sat by the monkey pond in the shade and watched the monkeys and then we walked a bit more and watched the flamingos. But it was too hot to stay there so we took our two buses home. And God blessed me with a bus driver that didn't charge me (never happen before) he held the bus ticket and when I got off the bus gave it back to me unpunched, and the buses just came really fast and were practically empty and no steps so I didn't have to carry the stroller up the steps on the bus. Anyway we got home and I gave the kids a cold shower. While we were in the bus I was pouring water on Liat. It was so hot water dried so fast. They both laughed and laughed in the shower (Levi even didn't notice his hair being washed) and then we ate lunch and now they are sleeping. :) Anyway.. I need to make supper, fold clothes, pick up house .. I am anxious to see my husband. Anyway.. I told you this story.. because I always get myself into crazy adventures. Hey just leaving the house with kids is an adventure. But it was better than being cooped up in a hot house. And I will have to get back to you about what I miss from the states. Just keep us in your prayers that is good enough for now. By the way where in Pa do you live? I have friends in Erie, North East Pa and also my Mom grew up in Penn State.

    Anyway "Shalom" to you from Jerusalem.

  • O and I just read your post. I pray for it to be as painless as possible and that Tristan would be okay if he has to wean cold turky. Good for you for nursing for so long.
