The Black Plague

Yes, My family is still sick. It's been two weeks for Ollie who's eye started running and getting a little goopy today. Almost two weeks for Violet who has gotten hit the worst with it-she got an earache today too. Me, well, it's been about a week and I still don't feel a hundred percent but I'm getting there. My husband who eats nothing but garbage, never takes vitamins, thinks all my organic food is silly and never exercises-doesn't get a flipping thing. To be honest, he NEVER gets sick. One time I can recall in our 5 year marriage. Figures. Anyway, I'm about ready to blow my top here. I'm so sick of being sick and I know this sounds extremely selfish but I'm very tired of taking care of sick kids. OKAY virus-any day now, feel free to vacate!
P.S. I would love to be one of the people who only writes uplifting, positive things on my blog. Anyone that knows me, knows I can complain better than anyone. SO, this is me. Here's to feeling better soon.

Okay, so it's been WAYYYY too long since I last posted anything, so here we go. Since school started I haven't had much time to do a whole lot. Okay, that's a lie. If I didn't spend hour upon hour of perusing my "house porn" I would have time to do more online. I would LOVE to say it's because of my "online class" that I don't have time, but it's really the previous reason.

This semester is going well so far, I'm really missing the whole drawing aspect of floor planning, so I'm excited to move onto that next semester. I do however, love one of my instructors this semester. She reminds me a lot of my mother in law. GREAT sense of humor which I find so endearing. I learned in my online technical writing class that when you type things in all caps, it can signify shouting. I must shout too much because I realized I capitalize something in almost EVERY paragraph. If I've offended anyone by this, I sincerely apologize. Apparently that's not proper "online etiquette."

Oliver FINALLY got a tooth! Ten months old! Of course, it's only one. The second one isn't even a white dot under the gums, but oh well. I'll take what I can get. He has also gotten up on his knees and rocked. He fell over and whacked his head on the wooden leg of the ottoman and hasn't attempted that again. He figures crawling is for suckers.

Violet recently went to a princess party for ultimate girly girl friend Bria. I was so pumped that it was a "nice cup of tea" party which you had to come dressed as a princess. I had to bargain with her after she passed up her dress ups, which had a good princess selection, to ask me if she could be shrek or simba. sigh. We finally decided on Fiona, because technically she's a princess. My little free spirit.
