Where are my patience?

This weekend was a pretty good one until 3pm today. I don't know where my patience went, but I didn't have any. Jason told me to go lay down and take a nap while the kids were asleep and I did. I wasn't too tired, but I thought I would since I'd been busy all weekend cleaning and doing laundry. Kaitlyn got up and was okay. Jason went and woke Josh up around 330pm. We were all supposed to go to Wal-Mart together, but Jason fell asleep. I took the kids to the store and when we got back.. WHOA! I don't know if they were too hungry, too sleepy, or too thirsty. All they did was cry and fight with each other. We finally got dinner on the table, but neither kid wanted chicken and French Fries.

Off to the bathtub they went with daddy. They got in and I went to go get jammies and diapers. The next thing I know Jason was screaming for me to come back to the bathroom. I ran over there to find out Kaitlyn went poop in the tub. Out the kids came and I took them to their tub to finish up.

I tried to get Kaitlyn to bed, but she doesn't like when I put her down. It was after 7pm when Jason finally got her to sleep. He's putting Josh to bed tonight while I finish up the cleaning.

To top it off, the stupid Dish isn't working and I keep getting an error message.

New Year

Christmas was a blast this year! Josh was old enough to realize what was going on. As soon as he started seeing Christmas lights, it was allllll over! He still points out Christmas lights when he sees them. He went crazy when we put up the tree this year and had to help plug in the lights every night. We also put lights up on top of the cupboards in the kitchen and on the plant shelf in the dining room and he had to turn those lights on nightly too. Kaitlyn played with the tree and the ornaments for the first 2 days then she was over it.

Santa brought Josh a Jeep and he LOVES it! Unfortunately it's been really cold this winter, so he hasn't been able to ride it too much. He loved opening presents and thought he should open all of them. Kaitlyn had no interest in opening presents, so we let Josh open hers too. We did learn a lesson this year. Don't wait until 5pm on Christmas Eve to ask what Santa is going to be bringing. Josh said Santa was bringing him Spiderman, so Jason had to go out and find Spiderman stuff for Santa. He bought a bedspread and a ball. This was great with Josh; he loves his bedspread.

New Years' Eve weekend brought 2 sick kids. I had to take Kaitlyn to Urgent Care on Wednesday and come to find out she had an ear infection. They wouldn't let her back to school, so she went to work with me the following day. She had a lot of fun. She made herself at home and visited everyone that was there. She ran to Mr. Clarke with her arms out and then laughed the whole time he played with her. They both got better by Sunday which was really nice.

They both went back to school yesterday and Josh kept asking for Ms. Amber all weekend, so he was happy to see her yesterday. Kaitlyn still could care less. She's happy where ever she is.
