Truth!

I've noticed that it seems like gas went down, slowly but surely. Here it actually almost went less than $2 per gallon. But, now it's back up again to around $2.30 here in Arkansas.

*Sigh*

I've been a busy little bee today. I'm trying to get caught up on the slacking that I've been doing lately with my house work. The grime was starting to build up in places that frequently get overlooked during "quick cleans". It's just hard with two little ones to accomplish much. I got snappy with hubby this morning, and I feel bad about it now. That's me, I tend to just bitch and moan instead of asking for help. He's been trying to keep the kiddos occupied while I get things done. The oldest has been a helper. We got her room cleaned as well as brother's. Hubby and little man are taking a nap so I figured I'd take a break so I wouldn't wake them. I need to work on my Manic Monday post...

The Ultimate Solution

The Dr Visit

I took my son (19 months) to the dr this morning. He didn't sleep last night and he's had a bit of a fever with a runny nose, cough, etc. Turns out it was nothing major and thank goodness he had tubes in his ears because doc said it was the right symptoms for ear infections. This picture I took with my cell phone. Tyler was hiding under the sink in the room at the office. He thought it was such a fun game until the dr came in.
