Today is my husbands birthday. This is the amazing cake I had made for him. 
Happy Birthday, Jaos! Love you!
Okay, Im doing much better than I was 2 days ago. Colby has been sleeping much better. Still dealing with the super tantrums, but I can handle that if we both get sleep at night. He has been in good spirits so far today, which is so nice!
Agenda today- Just laundry. I seriously need to catch up on it. I am sure there will be hours of coloring too. Colb is all about the coloring. Bro wants to play master mind later too. Love master mind. Pens again tonight, late game. Go Pens!
I am so very tired this morning. Poor Colby had insomnia last night. This happens somtimes when we increase his dosage of keppra. Along with the bonus of super tantrums, we get insomnia. We put him to bed at 8. He was screaming at 9. We let him get up because he is normally such a great sleeper. We put him back at 10. At 1:30am he was back up and stayed awake till 6am. I was finally able to go to sleep at 6 because Jaos put him back down and he stayed., but the alarm went off at 7am to get Liam ready go to school. Its gunna be a long day.
Agenda- Laundry and try another pair of contacts at the eye doctor. The contact experiment continues.
Hope you are staying warm. Its still snowing here.
(My apologies to Teanna of Spork and Foon? She is this weeks TWD host. I just did not cram this into my weekend. Please go check hers out, they look perfect and if you want to see more fried dough, take a gander at the TWD blogroll.)
First cup and I’m gunna need several more. Thankfully there is a large pot made already because I am out of coffee. Colb and I will promptly visit the grocery after we drop Bro at school. I need to pick up a few things anyway, but the coffee puts the list over the top. Time to go.
Agenda- I seriously need to tidy from the weekend. The poor kids have been holed up in the house all weekend because of the temp. With that comes toys in every room and legos in every corner of the house. There are legos everywhere. Its like they breed at night when we are asleep.
Nothing else going on. Pens tonight. Go Pens!
Happy Monday, if there is such a thing.

Feeling sluggish this morning. Need to get some giddyup. I spent entirely too much time streaming netflix on my laptop last night. I was watching total crap too. Total crap. Note to self- Stop watching shite like Confessions of a Shopaholic, you wont like it. Its too much fluff for you and not enough plot. You will figure out whats going to happen within the first 5 minutes like you always do. And even looking at Hugh Dancy will not make this movie worth it for you. Just stop watching and go to sleep! You’ll be glad you did.
On the agenda- I’d like to bang out some cleaning today. Vacuum, mop, do laundry, etc.. How much of this will actually get done depends on how much time Colby insists I spend coloring with him. Thats his newest thing. He wants to color constantly. He is quite the little artist. 
I am going to melt down some crayons for him today in my mini muffin tin, so they are easier for him to hold. The thin ones snap too easily when he applies pressure.
Hope you are all having a good start to your Sunday!
I had coffee this morning. In fact, I had 3 cups of coffee, but I was too busy fussing with croissant dough all morning that I forgot to take a picture of it. So here is my morning (afternoon) croissants. My friend April and I decided we would give croissants a go. We both started the preferment last night and then fussed with and baked the dough today. I was pleasantly surprised with the results. They were not hard to make, just time consuming. I made the almond filling that Gretchen filled her with on her blog and thought it was lovely. Jaos likes the straight croissants, no funny business for him.
Agenda today- Not a damn thing except the Pens tonight. Go Pens!
This is actually my 2nd cup. I forgot with my first. oops. The boys are off from school because of snow and the windchill at -5. Jaos trekked to work. I feel bad for him because his usual bus didnt show up, so he had to walk a ways to another stop. He is safe and warm at work now. I am feeling slightly better. Just by a tad. We will see how I am tomorrow. Maybe this is the upswing?
Agenda today- I have some housework to do. Tonight, I am trying a new macaroni and cheese recipe. Late tonight, I am starting the preferment for my very first batch of croissants. We will see how that goes. Nothing else planned for the weekend. WOOT!
What are your weekend plans? Stay warm!
I am sorry to say it, but I think I need to go see a doctor. Ive been coughing up toxic waste all week long, my throat feels like a bomb went off in it and I was awake coughing every 10 min last night. (So, so, so sorry Jaos!) What stops me from calling and going in to the doctor is the standard 7-10 day rule. Seems these days if you havent been suffering for at least 10 days, they are unwilling to do anything at all. Im only at day 5.
Agenda today- Take Jaos to work, go to the grocery and you feel it coming— shovel snow. 1-3, 2-4 or 3-5 inches called for depending which channel you are watching this morning. The fun begins at 3pm.
Hope all of you are healthy and warm!
I already shoveled snow! I got right up and went outside and shoveled, shoveled, shoveled. Now, the forecast said ‘About an inch’ for today and ‘About an inch’ for tonight. And you know what?!? BRING IT ON! I’m burning calories when I shovel that snow. I came in and was a sweaty mess. I know, I know, not something you want to think about. But, it’s something I have to do and its good for me. I have a hard time finding time to exercise during the day. So, I’ll take it. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
Today’s agenda. Shovel snow, see above. Normal routine, except Brody has a well-check. And I still need to figure out dinner.
What do you have going on?
Was so hoping for a 2 hour delay this morning, when I woke up feeling like I have strep. Alas, it was not to be. Coffee was made. Trudging Liam to the bus in the newest fallen snow was done. Next up, make some waffles for Brody and watch Blues Clues with Colb. I am going to try to leave comments on all the TWD’ers blogs today, too. Hope I make it. Supposed to go to a Pens game tonight, but I wasn’t kidding about the strep. We will see how the day goes. We need a win. 5 game losing streak is really weighing on Jaos. Go Pens!
What are you up to today?
