Day 65

My morning routine usually consists of dabbing on some mascara, brushing my long luscious locks (not), and putting deodorant on... in no particular order. There are days when I forget to do any of this... okay well I usually remember deodorant (friends, you should thank me for that).

I only took one picture... because I was lazy... and hey, this turned out good enough for my lazy sunday.

Okay, you caught me. I do sometimes use body spray... but I already smell like the sweet aroma of spring, so what's the point? ;)

Have a wonderful week :)

Day 64

This was at walmart back with the fishies. I hope to get some of these fish because they are so CUTE. I wonder if my goldfish will eat them or be nice?

I really liked the colors here :)

Day 63

Some of my favorite little boys :)


Yes, Caiden is wearing rain boots. No, it was not raining. That is just how we role.

So, I looked through my photos on my blog today, and I've decided that I have already improved. When I was looking at some of my oldest pictures I will be thinking about how I should have used different settings, or that I should have worked on the lighting a bit more. I've also noticed that figuring out settings and my lighting is becoming a lot easier.

Anyway, those are just some of my thoughts.

Tonight I am babysitting Caiden and Grady, and they have been quite rambunctious. They have definitely worn me out, those silly boys. :)

Day 62

I was determined to get myself into a picture today, but it's HARD. First I had to figure out the best settings. Next I had to make sure it focused correctly. THEN, I had to make it to the right spot in time for the picture to take. 

It's really not an easy task. 

I also have problems with the background of this picture, but I love how Asher is looking at me :) So cute.

It was beautiful today (65 degrees!), and yet it is supposed to snow and rain tonight. SO SAD.

Also, who likes my new jeans?? The are not holy :)

Day 61

I thought for sure that I had strep. I mean, I had been around two little boys who had it, and I had been around them a lot!

So, when my throat started hurting (a lot), I decided to make a doctor's appointment. I didn't get in to the doctor until today, and yesterday things had gotten a lot worse. 

Today, while the nurse was swabbing my throat she says, "oh, you have a big pocket of pus back here." Yummy. 

After all of that fun stuff, the result comes back negative. In a way that was kind of upsetting because then I didn't know what was wrong with me, but I'm glad I wasn't spreading strep around :) 

Now I'm just waiting it out to see if it goes away in a week. 

I feel a little bit better (I think the nurse popped the pocket of pus, which may have helped?)

I was also prescribed this medicine, to help with the pain. 

It works. It pretty much instantly numbs my throat. Oh, sweet relief.

I hope you all are having a better week than I am! :)

I had to go jean shopping this week because my favorite (and only) jeans (that I bought for $3) grew two holes in them :( I hate it when that happens, because it's so hard to find good, cheap, jeans. 

Day 60

I missed my precious boy last week. Isn't he just too cute? Poor boy has a nasty cold.

He's getting really good at grabbing things... and sticking them in his mouth :) He's definitely teething.

Also, whenever he cries I laugh, because he looks so pitiful. It's cute. (I really do take good care of him).
