Well an update and my do-to list for tomorrow.

So last night I went to bed with a warm wash cloth on my eyes, woke up several times to find my eyes stuck together, so I would wipe them with the wash cloth and fall back to sleep. Today was also Christa's first day back to school after the holidays. So I woke up wiped my eyes and went in to look at them...They still looked horribly red and irritated. So I got her off to school, made breakfast for the girls and then laid down with the wash cloth again. My little ones would just sit and play next to me or watch cartoons, so after about 10 mins. I got up and did some cleaning and played around with the girls and their dolls. Me and Maddi tried out her digital School today. I got it for them to learnhow to write letters and numbers, it does math, science, and lets them draw free hand. Its really neat and I think it will help them to learn alot before PreK. So we got through that all the while I tried calling the doc and got a busy sound. Grrr...so I finally got through and explained to the lady that I had pink eye and just needed the doc to prescribe me some drops, well it ends up they can only send a email to the doc, but the doc has 72 hrs to respond, so I think GREAT! So I continued to use the drops I had. My left eye seemed to be healing, but my right was horrible still. But if you would look at me, it looked like I had been beaten in both eyes...LOL I am not kidding. So I was just thinking that we needed more milk and I really didn't want to get out with my eyes like this...well god must work in mysterious ways, cause a few mins later, one of my friends stopped by and asked me if I needed any milk cause they were going to get WIC and get too much and I was like "Yeah that would be great" I couldn't believe it. It was like she read my mind or something. So I put my little ones down for a nap and she dropped off the milk and I finally got a hold of my friend who said she had some eye drops from her son, when he had a infected eye. So I decided to try them. So after Christa got home from school and my little ones woke up, I went to pick them up. And actually right now my eyes are feeling ok. My left is looking normal but my right is still swollen. I got to talk to my hubby awhile ago through email. I love when we can do that. He really is the best. Told me tonight that hes only a good man, because he has a good woman to make him that way....I know awww how sweet huh. I love and miss him so much. I keep thinking April will come fast, but when I look at the calendar its like wow its still a long time. But on the up side with K7 we are able to call on my cell phone and send him a voice message and he gets it in his email and he can hear our voice...ITs really cool. I got me and all the girls to talk the other day and he told me that he loved that message cause Alexa actually was talking too. He says he thinks that by the time he gets home, he'll be able to have a conversation with Alexa. She really is doing well on her talking. Also she went poop on the potty tonight and we are getting there, just don't have it all the way yet. Can't wait to finally FINALLY be done with diapers...Well I better hit the shower and then get to bed. Thanks to all my friends that have been there for me lately. Where would I be with out you? And Honey thanks to you for everything you do for us. Most of all sacrificing your time with us to serve your country. We love you and are always here supporting you and missing you like CRAZY. Always know that we are thinking about you and praying for you. Ok I better stop before the tears start flowing..lol XO

Terrible Day.

Well the worst happened...the pink eye went from the left eye to my right in a matter of hrs after I woke up today. They were so irritated and watery. But I got house work done and then I would lay with a warm wash rag on my eye for a couple mins and get back up and do something for awhile. The little ones were good I have to say while I got frustrated with my eyes...Still as of right now they are really red and watery...Oh and to top it off, I went to go get the drops bottle off the top of the frig and I accidently dropped it and it busted, so I had to hurry and put it in a cup...So now I have to use one of the girls suringes to put drops in my eyes...Grr. So I am gonna call the doc and see if he can just prescribe me something, instead of having me come there with something so contagious. But if they say I have to go, I'll go. I am so ready to get this over with...Well thats enough of my ramble for tonight. I will keep you updated

Pink Eye

Yeah thats right I have Pink eye. It started out with my left eye itching and then became irritated and I just thought maybe I had something in it. So Friday night I brushed it off like it would be gone in the morning. Well nope I woke up with a red eye and started to see stuff come out of it. You see I have never had pink eye and neither has my kids. So I didn't know the symptoms. So after we got back from a birthday party yesterday, I was convinced that it was pink eye. It was swollen by then. So I looked it up on the internet and yeah everything it said on here was what I was experiencing. So one of my friends recommended some pink eye relief drops from walmart. So after my littles nap yesterday, we went to walmart and got some. I cam home and put them in. My eye was pretty irritated still, but the drops seem to help. So after doing some cleaning around the house and finally getting my youngest to sleep. I went to bed with a warm wash cloth on my eye. I woke up every so many hrs with my eye stuck shut and I would wipe it with the wash cloth and get it open and fall back to sleep...lol So this morning, it looked alittle better, but is still red. I guess I just have to face that its gonna take a couple of days to heal. I was so looking farward to going back to the new church we tried last Sunday, but since this is highly contagous I am staying home. I am being very careful not to spread it to my kids. I wash my hands alot. So anyhow, Friday was the last day with my parents here in FL. We took some family pics and then they took us out to eat at Apple Bees. It was nice and we both drove there, cause my parents wanted to leave from there and not at our house. They thought the girls would take it harder if they left at the house. So we were very sad to see them go. But I was shocked they didn't cry. We all gave kisses and hugs and said our good byes. Christa got a little teary eyed, and I told her it was ok to be sad. So we came home and now are getting back into the swing of things, with just me and my girls again. I think Christa is looking forward to going back to school now that the holidays are all over and done. So heres hoping this pink eye doesn't spread to my right eye and goes away fast. Pray for me.

Our Christmas and New Years

Well sorry I have been MIA for awhile. Alot has been going on in our house. My parents have been with us for 2 weeks now and we have had a good time. We've been on the go ALOT! Well since I already told you how spoiled my kids are, I will tell you what happen next. We spent the day after Christmas eatting all the leftovers and snacks and putting together all the girls toys they got for Christmas. Then we went cosmic bowling and ate at the cafe there. We've been to the beach on base and took the fair over to the one you can drive up on. It was in the 70-80's here for 3 days in a roll and boy did we take advantage of it. My parents love the beach. We are all from MO, so we only have lakes and rivers there. Oh yeah and recently we found my oldest daughter Christa a full size bed and box springs and my youngest daughter a twin bed and box springs. They were thrown out here on base and me and my friend Keri went and snatched them, so my Dad brought a full bed frame for Christa, which didn't work, so we went shopping at Sam's Club and they bought one there for her. So Alexa got Christa's old bed frame and I got to finally throw out Christa's old woren out twin mattresses. Anyhow Christa loves her bed now that Papa put the frame on it and its not sitting on the ground..lol So yesterday we went shopping at Target, took Christa and Papa to the theater, and the little ones, me and my mom went to the mall. My Dad promised Christa he would take her to the movies, just him and her. They saw Bedtime Stories while we shopped around the mall. We had fun, but the little ones weren't that good. But we survived. Then we came home unpacked and I went to a friends New Year Eve party on base. I met a few new Navy wives and had fun. My night ended pretty emotional tho. You see I don't drink very often at all, but when I did, I got tipsy pretty fast. Well I guess all these emotions hit me hard, cause I got upset and went home. Nothing against my friends, but I think the fact that my hubby wasn't here to celebrate with me, me missing my friends back in MO because they were texting me to be careful and happy new year. But all in all it was a good night. My girls stayed with my parents and I knew they would be in good hands. Its not everyday that I get to go out and not worry about my kids, so it was alright. Anyhow, today, I woke up achy, but I was feeling good. I got to go shopping by myself for MYSELF today. So I went to Kohls to look for some jeans, well I got a nice pair of Levi jeans and a couple shirts that were on clearance. I love them all. I had to try them on, but they all looked good. So then I went to Walmart and did my grocery shopping and then I went home. We took the girls to McDonalds tonight for Nana And Papa's last night. Also I forgot to mention that I got a flat tire on the van, but Dad put on the spare and then we got a new tire on it the next day. I though thank god that is happened when they were here. Cause that was one of my biggest fears with my hubby being gone. You see my hubby is a good mechanic and I swear he could work on anything mechanical and it will work. Hes good at that kind of stuff. He rebuild the motor in my car for crying out loud. So yeah, its nice being married to a good mechanic. Well here it is the last night with my parents being here. They have been such a big help around here. Also they help me move things out of my sunroom to make it into a play room for the girls. WE put all the rubber mats down and now its a perfect play area for my girls. Also cleaned the outside of my house and helping me organize the inside. So I am very very blessed to have such GREAT parents. So its gonna be a sad day tomorrow. The girls are REALLY gonna miss them. They are so spoiled by Nana and Papa, that I will have to end up being the mean mom and break their bad habits...lol But I just hope we can get back to the swing of things. Oh and also we found a church we will be attending every Sunday. Its great! The girls are in their own classrooms, while I go to mass. So ok I am done rambling...
