Radiance Giveaway!

Thanks to the charming Savannah of Books with Bite, there is a Book Giveaway for Radiance Arc. Which I am of course excited for, I love the sound of this new book and hey, you cannot beat a free book. I hope you do not get bored of these giveaways I keep posting about the last couple of days, but I figure there have got to be some book lovers out there who may be just as excited at the chance to win a new book as I am. I am still anxiously waiting to hear the results of two of the last ones. So I guess we will wait and see. Even if you don't want to enter this giveaway, check out the book reviews that are available on Books with Bite, because you never know when you'll find your next favorite book or if you're like me I'm always adding new books to my ever growing list of books to read!

Wordless Wednesday

Signature Sunday: Where Did You Get That?

So, I know its not Sunday, but this was meant for Sunday.

Christopher and I were downstairs cooking dinner, and both kids were upstairs playing. Christopher came upstairs to get the kids' highchairs set up for dinner, when he hollered down to me that I needed to come upstairs right now. I was thinking, "Oh no, what did they get into." Normally we close our bedroom door, but we had cartoons playing on our TV and so we'd left the door open.

When I got upstairs, he called to me from inside our bedroom. He told me, "This is something you need to see to deal with." That kind of scared me and so I made my way down the long skinny hallway into the inner part of our room.

This is the sight that greeted my eyes:

I tried so hard not to laugh, he had made himself quite comfortable in my spot on my bed. And from somewhere he had found one of my Twix bars. I tried to sound stern, but that kind of went out the window, "Aidan, where did you get that?"

"Mommy," he happily replied.

How could I not laugh at that? I wasn't quite sure where he had gotten it from, somewhere on the wreck that is my nightstand I thought.

My husband then asked, "Aidan, did you ask Mommy?"

His little chocolately smile widened, but he didn't reply. It was really difficult to remain stern, because he had gotten into Mommy's things and yet that little face just melted my heart.

Trying to be straight faced, I then asked him, "Aidan, what do you need to ask Mommy?"

This was his response:

Thank You. Not what I was looking for, but it still was sweet and polite. And I couldn't be mad at him. I did explain to him that he needed to ask Mommy next time.

Then my Husband told him to put it away, because it was time for dinner. So, he leaned over and set it ever so carefully on my nightstand. Then hopped down off my bed and scurried down the hall to his room where he'd be eating dinner.


When I looked later to see where he'd put the candy bar, he'd set it right where he could reach it from where he'd been sitting on my bed. What a cute little stinker! Just another misadventure at our house.

Day 25 My Day (in great detail)

This isn't going to be all that exciting, but here it goes.

I was sick all night and so I didn't get asleep until after 4. I don't remember my husband coming home, he got my son up, feed and changed him. I got up at 11 and got my daughter up. I made her a bottle and changed her diaper. I laid back down, because doing just that little bit wore me out. I kind of catnapped, getting things for my kids as they asked or screamed. I laid Aidan down at noon for his nap. I turned on TLC and sort of watched The Little Couple. I checked to see if The Pioneer woman had selected my photo for group 6 of the Water photo contest and was sad that she hadn't. Oh well. I laid Aislynn down for her nap at 1pm and I crawled back into bed and slept until 230. Aidan woke up and wanted to be let out of his room. So, I changed his diaper and I got back into bed, but not sleeping. Aidan came in about ten minutes later and wanted to watch Kung Fu Panda. We cooked dinner at about 415pm and ate very hot food just after five. I kissed my Hubby and sent him on his way to work. I watched the most amazing thunder & lightning storm. (I still am) I typed up my alive post and read a few blogs. I posted on a couple posts. I laid my daughter down at 7pm because she was grouchy and now I' m going to put my son down. So, that's my day. Boring, huh?

I Am Alive

I'm alive, if barely (or so I feel). I hoping I'm on the mend now. Whatever it was ran me through the wringer several of times over and secretly I'm hoping that it means that good news will soon be coming our way. Although that will still be weeks away before we would know anything like that. My poor family has suffered while I have been down and out. I've been pretty much bed-ridden for days, so my kids haven't gotten all the attention they deserve from me and my sweet Hubby has picked up the slack although it was during the time when he should have been sleeping.

Although I'm sure my kids have been enjoying their new found freedom. They haven't had to pick up their toys, there are cracker crumbs & chunks everywhere, and cereal pieces here, there & everywhere. All in all, it looks like a tornado has struck my house. I did manage to run a few loads of dishes, as well as a few loads of laundry. Unfortunately, it didn't take much for me to become completely drained and exhausted. My Hubby had to help me back to bed a few times. I love my Hubby! I don't know what I would do without him.

Now, I have to put all my focus on my kids birthday party that's coming up later this week. There is still so much to be done, just thinking about it is wearing me out.  I still have presents to buy, food to buy for the BBQ part, an elaborate cake to create, gift bags to put together and of course I still have to set up the room we've reserved the day of. Does anybody want to come help me? It feels like so much to do all by myself.

Sorry, my post is all over the place. I'm still really worn out and this really does talk alot to sit up & type. I will post up my next Day of me. I can't promise how much I'll post until after the birthday, but I'll try to put a little something so you know I'm still alive.

One More Fabulous Giveaway

This is the last one before I go to bed. Yes, that's right I have  not been to bed and it is 0706 where I live.
