I'm not totally sure where I'm going with this post, so it's probably going to be all over the place.
Last night I decided to take a peak inside Xander's mouth and was very surprised when I saw his 3 year molar already in! His bottom right is fully in and the one on the left is just starting to break through. The reason I decided to take a peak was because 2 nights ago he felt warm and I took his temp and it was at 100.2. Low, but nonetheless, still a temp. I'm thinking this is the reason for his fevers lately? I couldn't believe the one was already all the way in! That means, he's been one very tough boy. Although cranky and not sleeping well at night this week, still tough. I have him the teething tablets last night and he slept through the night. Amazing what a little tablet can do. Took all his discomfort away. I will be forever thankful for Hyland's teething tablets, haha!
Mr. Tough Guy taking his shoes off
So today the kids and I went out to wash my car. It was dirty. Still needs vacuumed , but it's too cold for me to do all that so that's gotta wait for the man of the house. When we got back I grabbed a few pictures to show one of Sterling's Valentines shirts I made for her.
This is what happens when I tell Xander to hold sissy in place so we can get a picture. Sissy wants nothing to do with sitting still and attacks him. Poor Xander. He still loves her though!
She gets mad!
Finally somewhat decent
Sibling love...although some little girl was not interested in laying still.
We then ate lunch and now they're napping.
When they wake up I'm going to take them out on a walk. I'll have to bundle them up with blankets, but I have to get out. I've just become so distant and not caring anymore. Maybe it's the winter blues? Is that what it's called? I need to do better for myself and my family.
Life here is so inconvenient and I keep making excuses. I admit, I'm spoiled and like everyday conveniences. It makes doing things so much easier. I HATE apartment living, will never do it again, unless we're on bottom floor...maybe, just maybe. It would be so much easier to get out and do things if I didn't have to take the kids down to the storage room, undo the stroller, load them in, try to lift the heavy a$$ stroller (side by side one) up the 8 steps just to go out and enjoy our day. It makes me not want to go out, and usually will talk myself out of it. So today, I'm going to use the front to back stroller. It's in the back of the car so I'll set the kids on the ground and hope they don't try to escape since our parking spot is on the road. Not safe at all with little ones! I'll take the blankets, water, diapers, and gloves all down before we start our daily adventure. Then when I put them in the stroller I have to pray that they don't make a fuss and start acting crazy. Like arching backs, screaming like they're being murdered, just plain ole crazy! Normally I wouldn't care if they act a fool, but last summer/fall there were child abductions here and I don't want people to think I'm kidnapping my own kids! The neighborhood watch team would call the cops, then the cops would come and how embarrassing would that be!!! It would seriously make me to never go out again. Maybe I think too much into all this? I just have to find a system that will work for the life inconveniences while living here with toddlers.
Because it's cold and that's usually my excuse to go out for a walk (because of the good old Raynauds), Nick often suggests going for a walk inside the mall. People in the states do that. But here, I'd probably get looked at pretty funny. And the kids, they're not going to sit still and be quiet indoors. Outdoors, they're usually fine when we're moving, but inside...yeah right! Good suggestion hun, but no thanks!
We're so ready to find out where we're moving next. Nick dreamt it was the DC area, I dreamt it was GA. Is it going to be the midwest? East? South? Hopefully NOT the west! I think I'm hoping for the south. As weird as that sounds, I'm ready for some warm weather. Like Florida!?! I'd take the east too. For the most part they are pretty warm. I loved living in VA and would LOVE to go back. We'd be close to my parents and Xander's birth mom. That would be awesome! In the south we'd be close to Nick's family. Midwest we'd be close to all my extended family, aunts, uncles, cousins, 4 of my siblings, nieces and nephews. So, which ever of these 3 areas the Air Force decides to send us, we'll have family around. Love it! We're ready Air Force, just let us know already!!! We'll know by the 28th so only a few more days (weeks).
And there you have my frustrations for the week. They're so bad that I have a massive headache day after day...ugh!
Have a great day!
