Quiet

I have been quiet because I do not want to vent about work here (I could go on and on at this point and that is not something I am willing to do). The bronchitis is trying to come back. And Harmony has been a bit grumpy from teething. I am just very tired and worn out at the moment. I have been enjoying reading everyone else's blogs though. And there is the time spent with my little family to make the days brighter.
Plus Grandma is back from their trip to Cheraw, SC so Melodie will stop asking to go to Grandma's house and us having to tell her she can't because Grandma is away. And I think I am starting to ramble so I am going to say good night and I hope it was a good start to a new week.

For those who asked...two Melodie tops and one Harmony...the rest are in the laundry, same style just different material. Nothing much to say so I won't drag it out. Thank you to everyone for their comments and the followers :)

Thank you & other stuff

Thank you for all the well wishes. I am feeling better, though still am not up to walking around our house outside with out coughing like crazy (landlord had to come work on our ac again since it stopped working in the middle of the night...85 inside it a tad too toasty).
Yesterday was wonderful, hubby and I took Mr. R with us to the flea market. We all had a good time and I got a beautifully sewn bag by a local woman for only $7(a steal). It already has my crocheting in it I am doing for Joy (making her a bag). We got lots of good veggies and some super lovely strawberries. We also made a few other stops for Mr. R as he wanted out of his house for a while.
Today has been long, but I finally got to sew. Joy is letting my borrow her sewing machine for a few weeks since she will be having knee surgery soon and isn't using it. I have sewn up three tank tops for Harmony and two tank tops and a dress for Melodie this evening. And the pattern is just free-hand on newspaper. Melodie loves hers and has a tank top on and the dress over top at the moment. She has asked me to make her baby dolls tops too. Might get to one or two of them tomorrow since they will be small and quick.
I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend!

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!
