A lot of nothing

Sunday after church we took a mocha and a donut to my cousin which, given the state he is in, I don't think he touched any of it. My heart is breaking. I was ticked off all afternoon because of it. Had a really good workout to get out those feelings. As soon as we got home I took Aidan to his friend Aidan's house :-) for a play date. Hubs has a bad cold so he took a nap while I assembled a crock pot meal and prepared my baked oatmeal for Monday's breakfast and prepped Monday night's tortilla soup. Picked up the boy after his playdate and it was off to his basketball game. This is the first time in 10 years I haven't closed our company on President's Day so I worked Monday and he was home with the kids. Kids had dentist appts bright and early, they picked up Abby's new glasses and then had to be back at the dentist in the afternoon for Aidan's sealants. Today I left a bit early we had a car maintenance appt. Ended up needing 2 new tires and front brakes on top of what we were having done. Trying to plan for summer camps since Abby is unhappy going to their daycare this summer. Stressful.

Happy Valentine's Day

Tuesday I had off. My cousin was supposed to have surgery but due to the condition he is in, his likelihood of survival was slim. I hate cancer. Rick and I went to breakfast, I had planned to use my "anniversary" shopping trip he promised me to this store I like so we went and.... found... nothing!! Lucky for him. We had to get our passport photos renewed and then went to get teacher gifts for Valentine's Day. Picked up the kids at 1pm for their ortho consult. Found out both kids do not appear to have wisdom teeth. Fabulous. Aidan doesn't need early ortho so he's good. Abby already got her molds and spacers put in the same day. Poor girl got whacked in the (already sore) mouth by her brother and she has a cold. Hot Mess. Valentine's Fun and a weekend of cleaning house, gymnastics, basketball, church and playdate.

Day 5

Day 5 of the snow/ice storm. Kids don't have school again. They haven't had a full day of school since last Tues. (Wed was early rel) Today is my first day out of the house since Thursday. I have to go to work to get payroll done and other things caught up since I have had tomorrow scheduled off lol.
Made Dutch Babies for dinner Saturday night. Thankfully I had meals planned and the cupboards/fridge was stocked. The only thing I ran out of was eggs. Did a lot of baking :-)

Day 2.5 of snow

Misc pics from Superbowl weekend more gymnastics and basketball. Hubs made it to work today just need to get him home safe this evening and then he's home for 4 days right when the weather warms up. Working on getting last year's photos into the kids' albums today. Baking muffins for the freezer. Waffle dippers for the freezer. Valetine's, and more pajama time. They are saying 4-8 more inches today.

Snow Day

Snow Dog. More snow on the way tonight. Freezing Rain. More snow Saturday and then to ice. Awesome. I would enjoy it more if my husband didn't have to go to work and was home safe and sound with us.

February!!!

I had the lady from our Canada office here the week prior so I could train her on our new software. It required me leaving the house earlier than normal so that whole week sorta threw me off. Then I had to deal with more employee issues. On top of that the new 401K plan I implemented didn't work the first go around. The deductions never took place because our payroll company didn't "activate" them. Aidan and I both had colds. Our first since school started so I guess I can't complain but my poor guy was miserable for a few days. Rick spent time that Tuesday helping his mom and Wed he went grocery shopping for me. One less thing I had to do. Yayyyy me. That weekend was cleaning house, gymnastics, library, basketball. Took Aidan to the ER to get checked for appendicitis (again). Xray showed lots of air pockets from his chest all the way through his system and of course he's backed up even though he had just taken a guinness book of world records poop. I'm still concerned and frustrated as to what is causing his tummy issues. This week 2 of our credit cards were hacked. Rick went grocery shopping again for me! At one point I had 8 weeks of meals planned. Makes it easier on this working Mom. Kids had half day on Wednesday. Abby was given supplemental math homework because she is in a higher level. She was up late getting that done. Aidan had a rough (although short) week in his class. We are working on self-control and following directions. Yesterday the snow storm came so I left work at 11. They had early release at 1230 due to weather. I surprised them with hot chocolate and bundt cakes when I picked them up. We all got into our jammies and I even took a nap! No school today because of the snow.  I've been working from home and doing laundry. Hope to bake some freezer muffins and get the kids outside to play. Hubs has to work today and tomorrow. He made it in ok. Hope his commute home goes just as well- we are due for more snow this evening and he doesn't get off until 7pm.
