thanks for the support everyone. while i realize it may seem like all of a sudden at 18 im like.. GAH.. but actually until they hit their teen years they were both extremely helpful and neat kids.. everything always had a place.. then not sure what happened. guess for me it was i'd rather clean it up then listen to them whine etc. bad i know. boy am i learning that now. he's really a good kid when it comes to cleaning. just every once in a while like all of us he needs a kick in the butt ya know.
just showed him the list and chart and he's like 'cool. i can do that. it helps to see what i need to do cause sometimes i forget'.. lol sometimes? LOL.
at least he's honest.
will see how this goes. i'll update in a week

My house smells amazing right now... I've got 3 loaves of pumpkin bread in the oven! Planning on roasting a chicken for supper with some potatoes, carrots, and turnip I feel all 1950's housewife-y right now LOL... if only I had a husband to go with it

Just a quick pop in.

The kids are both okay today! Thanks for asking bub and sheets.

DS's fever broke last night. YAY! They both ended up sleeping in until 8:20am - never heard of in this house, they are usually up by 6am.

So, by the time they eat breakfast and got washed up and dressed and I triple checked they still didn't have a fever, we were a bit late for preschool. lol.

I've spent the am running around trying to get as much errands done as possible just in case I got a call to pick one or both up. lol

Went to WM this morning, wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

My list was small but I still spent $220. GAH! Diapers are sooo expensive! I ended up getting DD another big box for nighttime because the nighttime diapers were crazy expensive. Something like $28 for 40, meanwhile the huge boxes of reg. diapers were $33 for 140!!! So, yep she's wearing reg. diapers at night for 140 more nights. hahahaha.

Thanks for the update Lola, glad they're better! Always a relief eh? I sooo don't miss buying diapers... now if only I could get little guy to quit wetting the bed at night we'd be done with goodnights too!

I really should not say or type things like that! I got a call from the preschool a few minutes later.

DD is still totally fine but DS was cranky and had a borderline fever. Picked them both up and just gave them a cool bath. Now they are watching a movie.
