To make my life more fun

So i caught Avery's cold no big deal. This morning I wake up pounding head ache, right side of my face completely stopped up and my ear aching. So I take a bunch of stuff. I start to feel better but ear still bugging me. So this afternoon I just could not deal with it. I am rubbing it all the time. Then it hit me I have an ear infection. take my temp yup there is the fever. Of course I do not have insurance. So I can mom. NOw I am keeping a cotton ball soaked in olive oile in my ear and it is helping with the pain. That and the advil and decongestant I am feeling pretty good. But now I can not sleep.
As I type this McKay is asleep on the floor. Kids got him tucked in and I give up trying to get him in bed. He is going to hate it in the morning.

We had babies

Our Hamster had 3 babies last night I will try to get a picture when mom is away kids are excited

Nathan's Dr appt today

I started noticing a few weeks ago that Nathan walks more on the inside of his feet. We got him some better shoes to see if that helps. Well it really did not. So in we went. Dr. Perlow noticed it as well. At this time since Nathan is not having any pain and it is not affecting him playing running ect. We are to just watch him. If there starts any pain then to take him back in and go from there.

While there I got to talk to the doc about his height. Just turns out that he is just a very slow grower and thing can change by the time puberty kicks in.

After the appt we had some much needed time together. We played with cars and his Ben 10 toys. Then played video games together for a while. He is not really happy about me going to Utah. So I should him Skype and video calling and he thought that it was great that he can still see me. now when we are home he calls me from his room to video talk or just instant message.

Hating this weather

It is so cold here right now. I am so sick of it. I can not belive I am complaing about highs in the 40s when I have family in the teens if not lower. But I never liked the cold. I much rather prefer the warmer weather. Being in the APT makes it worse too. The kids do not want to play outside due to it is way to cold to do anything. I can not blame them at all. I do not want to go out.
Yesterday Alex helped me move up Joshua's new desk. Our hand were so cold after wards it was like burning frozen. I got use to the cold living in Utah. Being back in Vegas has thinned me out. I just want to go out play with my kids go hiking, watch McKay drive his r/c cars.
With it being really warm to freezing cold Avery and I are sick. OH JOY.

Utah bound!!

Well I am going to be visiting SLC for about 4days or so. I can not wait. Granted this will be the longest I have been away from McKay and the kids. I have no clue how I am going to react. Still to be able to see most of the family that I have missed so much since I left is going to be great.

I have been asked why go to Utah for my vacation. Granted I could go anyplace. See good friends visit my grandparents. All this I took into consideration. But my heart still pulled to Utah. As much as I would love to see my grandparents. it has been about 13 years since I saw them last. Right now is not the best to visit Ohio. So I am hoping to be able to go see them later this year. I want to be there while my Aunt Susie is there as well.

I am not looking forward to the snow. But I can deal with it. Now my big problem is what to bring and what to wear. I will probably change my mind about a dozen times before my final pack.

so my going ons

I am just trying to keep busy and keep my mind of the holiday season. Which is not working since the kids do nothing but talk about Hanukkah and Christmas over and over. Avery keeps asking what is he going to get. I finally got fed up and told him your not getting anything at all. Well that was a mistake. he went to his room screaming and crying. I tried to calm him and well it did not work. Telling him that it would not be a surprise if I told him what he was getting another failure. So I just left it. He had his fit took a nap and was better. The older 4 are making gifts they do this every year. Normally it is just something out of construction paper or just a drawing. I love that they do this. I was going to make robes but McKay says that it will be easier to just buy a robe for Alex since he is the only one that needs it. Kill Joy. I was hoping to have Nathan's quilt done but that is not happening either. We were robbed of our black Friday shopping due to the fact payroll forgot to do the direct deposit. So no Joann's for me. Guess it is a good thing since I would have gone over board.
Hope is doing good with her new braces. She hates that there is so much that she can not eat. Hope is such a strong girl. Nobody at school is making fun of her and if they are she is not caring. She loves her braces. She is going to have them on for a bout a year. She is such a beautiful young lady already!!

Halloween Quilt

Well I set a goal To have this done by the end of the month. Well it is done today LOL. I have decided for Christmas I want a quilting frame. I gave this to Joshua since his Favorite color is orange.
