Caleb went to spend the night w/ his grandparents and currently Dean, Zeke and Bo are headed to kings Island to ride some kiddie rides w/ Dean’s brother and his two kids, who are each about 6 months in age from our two youngest.  I was going to go w/ dean and the kids but my head is killing me and the nauseas has yet to subside.   I got most of all of the household chores done earlier today, in addition to making some oatmeal raisin cookies.  All I need to work on before bed is putting away all of the laundry which should be “loads” of fun!  :-)  So off to put away laundry then settle in to bed early.  The rest of the week is going to be busy and if I already feel crappy staying in all day and taking things as easy as I  can wont hurt.  I’ve been busy though all day, the house is clean, dinner was cooking when Dean got home, cookies had been baked and the laundry was all almost done, meanwhile I attended to my kids and one of Caleb’s friends who spent the day here.  She even went home(the end of our street) to get her lunch and brought it here to eat it with Caleb as he ate his lunch, they ended up sharing which was cool because it meant Caleb realized he likes skyline chili.    these things are never planned, when playmates stay here all day.  they come over and never leave.  she didnt want to leave, I kicked her out so that I could work on dinner and so that caleb could get his things ready to go to his grandparents house.    I dont mind, they got rowdy at times but out of all his playmates here I like her the best.  She loves Bo and zeke as much as she does Caleb.  when she first showed up today she asked where Bo was and said she wanted to play w/ him too.  and she inlcudes him in just like he were a big kid, as opposed to the other kids who mock and tease him since he’s so big yet so young.   she’s honestly the most compassionate and loving little girl I’ve ever met, I told her mom so and that I dont doubt she is a caregiver of sorts or works w/ animals as an adult.  She’s sneaky at times but not nearly as bad as some of the kids…needless to say, I like her and it gives me a chance to feel like there’s a girl in the family when she’s around.

well off to finish up the laundry and head into bed, after I make it, I washed everyone’s sheets today which will make for another thing to add to the before bed to do list, but at least I’m home alone to work on whats left of my chores today.  bo still hadnt had any accidents, we braved taking him out this evening w/ out a diaper.  I had originally left w/ them to go out but had dean bring me home, so I told him to make sure when they get there to put a pull up on Bo since it will be hard to keep up w/ on his own at Kings island and Bo said no when I said that, so maybe he’ll take to this easier than I thought, PLEASE GOD!  one less expense like Bo’s diapers which has been ridiculous since he only fits in 4T/5T pullups which there are at most about 21 in a pack which costs a lot for just that many compared to the smaller sizes which you get more of.    so hopefully this will be the first week of no diapers for Bo.   as silly as it sounds, prayers for me and Bo while we go through this transition are greatly appreciated!!!  I’m just not up to it patience and energy wise but I tried hard today and so far it’s worked out!!
