Not my idea of a "Break"

When I said I wished I could have a break, being sick in bed was not exactly what I was thinking...

Went to the Doctor today after feeling like shit the past few days and I got some pretty pissed off Tonsils. I have full blown Strep Throat... So now I am on another round of Antibiotics for 10 days.. I just flippen finished a 10 day course of them for a Sinus Infection. They are thinking that from taking the last dose of Antibiotics it wipes everything good in you out which leaves you vulnerable for the next lovely thing to come along.... I was so excited to hear that, guess I will have to live in a bubble for a month!

Kids have been wonderful while I have been in "Quarentine", and I still have another 24 hours to go before I can back to the land of the living.... I certainly do miss those kisses and hugs that is forsure, that has to be the hardest thing about being contagious. But kids with Strep in exchange for Hugs an Kisses is not something I am willing to trade~ So we do our "Virtual" Squeezes and "Virtual" Kisses at the door which breaks a mothers heart, because you just want to get over there and hug them for real.  Laila has not been feeling the greatest either which makes us want to be extra careful with her because she is already feeling like crap! She was given a antibiotics too just in case, so we have that on hand in the event that she becomes ill with Strep in the next 4 days. She has had a fever and sore throat but nothing compared to me yet! But I am hoping she stays all good...

When I said I wanted a break, I was meaning a night out by myself. Not couped up in a bedroom watching boring TV, eatting mushy food, having hot teas and gargling with Salt water! This is the best weight loss program ever! Soup, Pudding, or nothing at all because you feel so shitty to eat.  I tell you this sucks the big one! I have not felt this shitty in a long time.  I just hope that the meds work fast and kick in so that I can feel better soon.

Cars, then a Sick Day

Sorry I missed yesterday. Was a busy one. Went for Massages first thing in the morning, then headed to the big city to tackle the Autoshow with 2 kids.. Ekks, I can tell you that will be the first and the last! They were pretty well behalfed for the most part except of the 50 million times we had to pee or the 50 million times I heard are "Are we going to the Subway yet", " I need a snack, perhaps a drink".. It took us 5 HOURS to walk the place which normally without kids would take about an hour, 2 tops! The last time I was there was 13 years ago and was looking at Suzuki Swifts now I go with 2 kids and looking for SUV (Family Car).... Boy things have change! So while being there for 5 hours walking, I started to feel like crap~ Thought it was just the walking and the massage! But NOPE!

Came home took a hot bath to sooth the aching muscles and relax, then started the sore throat! I lubed myself up with Aches and Pains, took an Advil and headed to bed! Woke up this morning feeling even worse.. Yuck~ Thankfully Tom is home which is helping out ALOT because I can rest and veg in bed and rest up to feel better to tackle the week. Kids are being so good today, Laila is napping she feel yucky too. So Daddy and Belle are bonding over Treehouse! Today I have had Breakfast in Bed with some lemon tea, took a nap now watching "Real Housewives of Orange County".. LOVE THESE SHOWS.. So today I am officially taking a SICK DAY which I don't get often!

I hope that tomorrow is a better day and I feel alot better. It is the start of a busy week and I have my tattoo booked for Wednesday and really don't want to cancel it.. And besides I have 2 little monkeys that depend on Mommy feeling better.

Butterflies

So this is it.... It is no longer a want it is a need. LOL. Who would have thought that I would need to have a TATTOO. I have been on the fence about it for so long, that now it is time to take the plunged and Just do it screw money, you only live once right? 

I have what I want all picked out and ready to go. Now it is just a matter of getting in to get a consultation and appointment to do it. I have had appointment in the past but got to flipping scared and chickened out. I am scared of the pain, which is kind of funny because I gave birth to Isabelle who had wide shoulders which resulted in 6 stitches, then you have Laila who was all natural no drugs & all back labour and had a slightly large head.. So a tattoo should be a cake walk. I always said that when or if I got a tattoo it would be something that had meaning.

I have decided to go with a lower back (Tramp Stamp or Splash Pad) so I have been told is what they are called LMAO. I wanted it there because no one would ever really see it, I also like the look of it there for whatever reason, also I figured it would less painful since I had all back labour with both girls so it can't be worse then that Right??  It will be a Butterfly in vines, slightly coloured in Pink and Purple which are my girls favorite colours. I also wanted to get the girls names wrote in the vines somehow which would finish it off. So now it is just a matter of getting the ball rolling and get it done. I have sent a bunch of emails to the shops to get quotes and stuff but have heard nothing back, which pisses me off because what is the effing point of email if your not going to reply?

I often hear from people well you are a "Mom" you should  not get a Tattoo or what kind of an "Example" are you setting for your kids? I guess people think that it is wrong for mothers to do this sort of thing? But the way I see it, is just because you are a mother does not mean that you are dead... We change enough for our kids and do alot for them. So why not do something for us, we should not have to stop living because we are mothers. Because I sport a tattoo and am a Mom it does not change who I am. I am still the same loving, nurturing person I was without it! If people want to judge me because I have a tattoo, they can go screw themselves cause I really don't give a rats ass... I know lots of people that have tattoos more then one for that matter and they are wonderful people & ink did not change them or the person they are!

So I am going to do it, I am going to go and let someone colour on me with permanent ink.... Let's just hope it turns out the way I like it cause it can't come off... Ekks!

So shortly after I posted this blog, I headed over got the consultation and booked it. I AM SO EXCITED.. Like a little girl in a candy store!! I got Wednesday at 5. I will try to get pictures as we go through the process (Can't gaurentee anything) but I will try. I asked what if Child Brith is worse then a tattoo they assured me it is far worse.. So if I can pass deal with 6 stitches from 1 child & no drugs with another, I think it is fair to say that this will be like a walk in the park!  Woot Woot.. So Pumped, Wednesday can't come soon enough!

Apple Juice for the kids and Gin & Tonic for me PLEASE

Well this is my first time blogging so bare with me if I ramble....
Today the weather is grey and gloomy and yet again we are stuck inside with no place to go! Kids are boucning of the wall and Mommy is right there beside them. Being the end of February we all tend to get alittle bit crazy this time of year due to lack of sunshine and warm weather,  so really who can blame the little monkeys!

Being a Mom of 2 girls comes a BOAT LOAD of DRAMA & they are only 6 and 3.5 years old, I pitty myself when they are teenagers never mind me, my poor hubby. Can you imagine what my husband will be like when PMS and Menopause starts in this house? I think we might be living in this house alone.. LOL  They play really well together, but when they fight let me tell you look out. They are both quite strong willed. Actually the youngest I think might be worse, sometimes it is like talking to a wall.  Apparently I was like that as a child as I have been told on many occasions by my mother.. But I really think she was wrong, I recall being a sweet little angel (Okay maybe that is alittle bit of a stretch). Sometimes the only way to get a point across that enough is enough with the bickering is to raise my voice. Urgh, but sometimes you just have to... Breaks my heart, but they don't stop pecking each other and me. Isabelle has to be the leader and wants Laila to do everything she says and play everything she wants. But Belle is not willing to do anything that is "Baby" like... So we have the feud start..  Then I hear "Mommy Isabelle said this", "Mommy Laila did this", "Leave me alone" and it goes back and forth for a good while.... I often try to tune it out as my mother tells me but it is really not that easy! I think alot of the issue is they bored but what more can I do in a day with them.  I did not go to school to be a Teacher or take a course on ECE, just a Mother of 2 girls who googles alot to keep them entertained especially in the winter months.. LOL

At the end of our "Wall Climbing" day, we like to enjoy a nice family dinner where they sip the Apple Juice & they tell Daddy all about the day. Unfortunatly,  there is not alot of adult conversation because they are so excited when Daddy comes home that we can't get a word in.  So when they leave the table after filling their bellies with air from talking rather then my dinner. The hubby and I will sip a Gin and Tonic and finally have 5 min to talk....

I must say after a crazy hair pulling day of them producing an awful lot of drama, there is nothing more wonderful then listening to them giggle and tell you how much they love you with cuddles & kisses. xoxo
