Yuck & yum

It's now official..I have bronchitis and don't get to go back to work til Monday(thank goodness I have some vacation and personal hours tucked away). Keeping Harmony up last night sort of worked. She did go to bed with her sister after the prerequisite two readings of her chosen book for the night(mommy reads & daddy reads or she doesn't sleep well). But since yours truly evidently was wheezing horribly while sleeping and up and down coughing much more than I'd been...I kept waking my little angels up. Though they seem in good moods and grandma said they were good for her while I spent hours taking breathting treatments and xrays at the dr's office.
Now for the yum. Went to the local grocery store for my precriptions (still have to get more info to get one filled). They had blueberries and blackberries for $1.49 a small container...so we splurged and bought one of each. They are super delicious.
And I will be bad tomorrow. I have to go out for a prescription at work (only way to afford the darn thing). And we are going to stop off at the farmer's market on the way home(okay about a mile out of our way). I can't wait to browse what Indigo and Tyler Farms have and get some fresh fruits and veggies. Enjoy your Thursday!

Sleep?

Not much entertaining or interesting here. Still having trouble shaking a cough I picked up, but I probably would be better if I could get a little more sleep. I'm getting the feeling Harmony is to me what, Melodie is to her daddy. Melodie and daddy seem to run on the same sleep schedules and temperatures and if she gets tired she can take her daddy down for a nap with her. Harmony and I took a nap together this afternoon...I only wish I felt as good as she did when she woke. Though my sweet, little Harmony is still not wanting to go to sleep when the rest of us want to which is really wearing me down since I'm lucky to get 2 hours of sleep before I have to go to work. And the whole house is grumpy from lack of sleep(Harmony has a earsplitting set of vocals she knows just how to use). My goal is to keep her up till bedtime (no napping allowed) and see if it helps her to go to bed when she should. She was so good about going to sleep and only waking for milk when her little body told her it was a must for so long. Sorry for the ramblings of an over-tired mama. Hope everyone is having a great week and looking forward to an even better weekend.

Saturday

Nothing special going on or too report. I do live in an adult sleep deprived house though. Sweet, little Harmony has taken it upon herself to reduce her sleep and keep mommy and daddy up all night long. And by all night I mean she hasn't gone to sleep before 5 am the past 3 days. Last night or should I say this morning it was almost 6:30am before she passed out and was up by 11:30am. And she is still awake and happy and playing. I forsee a very long weekend ahead of me.
I have to say as much as I've missed Sara blogging I know she's been busy and overwhelmed and her most recent to posts have made me smile and feel much better about this blogging thing. Thank you, Sara for being you!

Yay!

I'm stealing a few moments while Harmony is happily playing in her play yard and Melodie is at grandma's to say, we have ac back.
And then there is work...I was asked yesterday before we got the ac back to come in two hours early this morning. I said no. Terrible of me since the money would come in handy, but the thought of a night of little sleep was bad enough. I knew if I went in for what they asked all I would be is annoyed, aggrivated, tired and in a worse mood when 10am rolled around than when I would go in at 8am. The thought of coming home that grumpy and annoyed just did not appeal. I realize they can't understand that those of us on the lower rungs do have lives (we aren't salary) and actually like to plan things and just spend time with family, friends, or even alone, but I just couldn't bring myself to do that to me or my little family.
Now that I'm done ranting I'm going to go knit a shawl/blanket(haven't decided yet) for Harmony since the blanket I made Melodie(which ended up with Harmony) is being teethed on, drug around and loved to the point of lots of strings hanging out. Enjoy your day and I hope it isn't too busy of a Wednesday for anyone!

Update

Another short and sweet post. I am happy that our thermostat is only reading 79 at the moment. But we got the bad news that our compressor needs replaced(a part is cracked that is not repair/replacable), the good news is the landlord picks up the tab, the downside is we have no clue how long it will take him to replace it(hoping soon since the baby is not handling the extra heat in the house well, our MicroDot has her own dedicated fan to keep her cool and she is tolerating being contained for that reason alone). Plus I don't want to think about what an oven this place will be if it isn't fixed before it rains and we have to shut the only windows providing cool air.

Blah

Short and to the point tonight. We've been without AC since Friday night and it has staying in the 80's inside despite opening windows and using fans to direct the cooler outside air. Needless to say our focus has been on keeping the little girls comfy and not to warm. Hope this is a quick easy fix. Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Hmmm...

Sorry, I just haven't had much to say. Been taking the girls out in the afternoon/evenings after I get home from work. They love it, but once Harmony is let off the porch to run she won't go back to play. Which is funny as it is frustrating since Melodie wants to ride her bike on the porch or play(she has an amazing and vivid imagination) and Harmony wants nothing to do with being confined to the porch anymore. If I let her, Harmony would walk the whole little development we live in. She knows which three houses around us have dogs and tends to head across the street first and then she looks up towards grandma's house. I think grandma won't take her out to play under the trees because of having to run her down. I have 3 dishcloths sitting finished, except for weaving in the ends and another 3/4 done. Hopefully I get a bit more knitting and crocheting done this weekend, but if I don't get much done I really won't mind, at all. Which probably isn't a good thing, but life had just been a bit to stressful this past week. Hope everyone has a warm and wonderful weekend!
