Unfortunatly our weather was crappy all week, we had rain and cold temps all week long. Hubby was working nights so we were stuck in the house having to be quiet so he could sleep. I think Geoffery was the only one getting a bit stir crazy being cooped up like that. He is such an active kid, and there's only so much one can do inside before you're bored to tears.
Monday Sydney was ill, so we took off bright and early for the Drs. I knew we'd not make the sick call hours, so I called and made an apt and we stopped off at Target (my favorite store!) first :o) While there, I got to purchase my newest toy.... iPod Video!! OMG this little thing is so cool,.... boy we're such nerds! Got a few other things and then headed to the Drs. Seems Sydney is suffering with allergies. I told her she could thank me for it. I guess after that we came on home.
Thursday was Brian's day. Time to get his "expanders" in his mouth. We left the house right 'bout 9am for his 10am apt. I think it was more like 10:30 when they called him back there. I had all the kids with me,.... girls playing on their DS's and Geoffery on his SP (nerdy family huh?) and me with my new iPod video!!! I had downloaded some episodes of the new show Conviction, it's really pretty good :) So I relaxed while we waited watching that. Geoffery by 10:45 was bent out of shape having to stay in this little waiting area, and wanted to go home. This was telling me that the rest of our day wasn't going to go so well. His impatience meant my frustration. Finally Brian was done,... they had to show me how to adjust this equipment each night,... basically giving me permission to torture my son. This could be good.... "... what do you mean you got an F on your test??? that's it!!!" give his expanders a few extra turns!! haha!! LOL No no, I wouldn't really do that ;o) Anyhow.... learned how to do that, and off we went. First stop the mall. I needed to get my wedding ring inspected, and Brian needed new shoes. The mall is closing as our NEW BIGGER BETTER mall is opening (TOMORROW!!!!) so my jewelry store was closed up already. Figures. Went into Dillards as they were having mega sales.... nothing good.... went to Sears and ALL kinds of tennis shoes :o) Yay!! Jackpot!!! So, the boys both got new tennis shoes for dirt cheap :o) Boy I love a good sale!!! Through it all though, Geoffery was very wound up, ready to run and play through the store,... had Jess keep an eye on him while we hunted for Brian's shoes.... I was getting hot and irritable because the kids were getting cranky and tired. They're NOT shoppers. I couldn't wait to get out of there. With shoes in hand we rushed out of the mall.
Still another stop to make.... WalMart. We needed some groceries and a few other things, which I think I forgot. I wanted an FM transmitter dealie for my NEW iPod Video :o) LOL So that I could play my iTunes through the car radio :o) I just love technology!!! But yeah,.... I forgot all about it. Dragging the girls and Geoffery through a busy WalMart is NOT my idea of a fun Spring Break outting.
We got back into the truck and poor Brian was feeling miserable. I had given him a fun size KitKat and he could only nibble on it as his mouth was soooo sore. I felt horrible. If I had even thought, I'd of picked up some Advil in the store :o( Poor guy. I had wanted to take the kids to Taco Bell for lunch, but by the time we were done, we needed to get home so I could fix dinner for hubby before he left for work!
PHEW!! What a day. What a week!!!!
I played hooky yesterday from school, so I could spend the day home ALONE with hubby :o) It was nice. Nice and quiet. I really needed it LOL Today the kids were in school, hubby returned back to work on days this week. I have been doing laundry and cleaned our room REALLY good. Busy busy!!!!
I did want to share something I learned in the lab part of my class,... it's where I learn to edit my photos using PhotoShop 7.0 I've been having a lot of fun in that class,.... I'm sorry it's just one day a week. There's just so much he could teach us. Thankfully, my SIL got me a copy of it, so I can play with it at home and try and learn new things :o)
