What a Week!

This last week has been fast, but not very much going on. We all have been sick with head colds. It started with M last weekend, she was fussy, had a runny nose, and just wanted to be held. By Monday N and I both were sick with the same thing(well I could feel the head cold part, hence knowing we had head colds lol). Tuesday I made it out of the house for a bit thanks to grandpa who watched the kids who were still sick. I was too, but I had to get ribbon for a bow order, a card for my niece(which of course I forgot the gift card so it was useless), and some food for the house. The rest of the week was the same sit around the house trying not let the kids run around to much cuz then they would just start coughing and the noses would start running really bad again. Poor N ended up with the worse cold sore he's ever had, it's like three in one, it covers most of the area between his nose and mouth. Thankfully we still have his meds of it, but it's been a heck of one.
Some very good positives of the week, M started getting potty trained. She did really well, but the whole thing didn't go so well. It would have been much smoother and been done by now if a)we weren't all sick and b)her brother wasn't here. The "problem" with N being here was that he would get her to run around the whole house were when it's just her and me I can get here to stay in the living room(which I had covered in vinyl tablecloths) so I could watch her better and she would also focus a little better on it. So it was just one day of that, the rest of the days we haven't for gone it, there just isn't any undies involved or me asking if she has to go all the time, she just tells me if she has to go. The funny thing is last week I wanted to start on Monday, but then we got sick so I was going to put it off. Well Monday M had different ideas she keep taking off her diaper, at one point she ran to the potty had her diaper off and end up going on the floor (she couldn't get herself up on to the big potty :)!That is when I decided we would full out try it and we got out the undies and everything. She did great had 2 accidents, and then went 2 times by herself and her undies were dry both times! Then she wanted a diaper, I'm not fighting this time, I'm just going with the flow, maybe nugging a little if I see she needs it, but other then that I'm not stressing. After everything with Nathan(UGH) I'm letting God do the timing!
Another good thing, I watched Twilight on Monday(after having it sitting here for two weeks). I really didn't think I was going to like it. I'm not really into the vampire stuff, but all my friends keep telling me to watch it and read it, hubby had put it on our Netflix list, I was in no rush to watch it really, I figured some day I'll watch it. I saw it and I LOVED IT. It is not anything I was excepting. There really isn't any(ok that much) normal vampire stuff, it's much more of a romance then anything else. I feel so connected to the main characters and their relationship, cuz it "feels" like mine and hubby's in so many ways. Anyways, I liked it so much, I wanted it again Tuesday and when I was at the store, I picked up the first two books in the series. Yesterday I had to run out and get the third one(I couldn't find the fourth in paperback so I have to wait to get that one). I'm already on Eclipse and about 1/3 of the way through it. I'm still amazed at how much I liked it.
That's about from here, I can't wait till next weekend, I can finally put up our tree! Which I'm so excited about cuz we have a big own now. Last year we managed to get a 7ft tree on clearance for $20! I really wanted the one with the lights predone, but hubby said no, but the deal was he has string the light on the tree then. I didn't really care that much(well I'm not going to string a 7ft tree) as long as I had a big tree. I've been wanting one for so long. I can't wait to get it up. I think I'm going to have to get some more lights(all ours are 100strings and different). I also picked up a few(3) new ornaments for the tree, since I really don't know if all our ornaments will fill a big tree. I don't want it full full(cuz we will always be adding at lest 4new ornaments a yr) but I want it to look like it's got ornaments, know what I mean!?
That's it from here I'm off to read!
