Shake me baby...

So a little reminder is always good right? I have shopping to do tomorrow. Seems we are low on can food, diapers and a few basics that we need to survive what 5-7 days on our own. My husband better have thick skin and patience because I HATE earthquakes. So yes today is a reminder to get our shit together. Be prepared and buy what we need for so we wont need them :).

I Quit

So two weeks ago today I quit my job. Yes put in writing that I no longer would be working there as of today. Why am I still on the schedule then one would ask. Do people not take me serious. Ok so that is a dumb question as my children seem to follow the same path. Clean your room is one example. Put your dirty dishes in the sink is yet another.
Well the two weeks are up and they bought themselves a few extra days but two more weeks? See I agreed to take on more responsibility but I hate my boss. He is the typical Ambercombie guy with the attitude. Cute ok but stop dead in your tracks? NO. He is rude to customers and less then friendly. With this change in position came more money. Oh but wait I told you about a raise but I made a mistake over a month ago your not getting it. Thus the notice but it seems I must be doing ok at my job as they are trying to convince the district manager that I should get it. Now we are taking minimal and way below what I should be paid so give me a break. Like they are doing me such a huge favor.
So the real reason for posting my adorable kids I know. Wow how they grow. My son asks all the time. Mom is this healthy will it make me grow? He got so upset the other day saying that no matter how much he eats he isn't growing "look" he proclaims as he points to himself. The whole adorable package of cuteness.
His sister on the other hand is determined to drive everyone nuts. If she wants it its hers. If you have it she wants one. So all day we get "I want one" or "Mine".

Sunny days with dark clouds

We enter summer with all kinds of plans. The best is laying in bed in the morning and not having to rush off to anywhere. This has been the best part of summer so far. I will not question why my youngest is the best at snuggling for hours on end. Given a bottle and a bag of chips she can lay in bed (on dads side) all morning. This will teach dad not to buy potato chips.
Our four year old is at camp two days a week. He can choose one of so many things to do while there. They teach the kids knitting, sewing, beading. He can spend all his time in the clay room making what ever his hands want. What does my son do? He digs in the sand box and rolls down the grass hill. And with the best smile on his face and giggles that just make you want it to last forever.
Is there something about sand and grass that little boys cannot get enough of?
We are seeking a solution to screaming. Yes she at 20 months old screams if she does not get what she wants. You cringe with each shriek. It is ear piercing and it gets anyone and everyone staring at you wondering why you cannot control your child. I resort to bribing my 4 yr old to be on his best behavior, using inside voices no running you know the normal. I think we need to remain indoors for awhile till she stops screaming.
What else has she learned.. She rolls the windows down on the car with her tow. This is my second child that has figured out how to bend their toe to roll up or down the window. So triple digits and the window is down.
So the dark lining. It has been a tough few months but got worse the last few weeks. I finally pushed my insurance for another opinion. I have a lot left to see and do and I figured it was time for answers. What I got typical hmo style sorry we cant fix your ankles here try this brace oh and by the way your insurance wont pay for it. So I did to only learn it make my ankles worse. Walking is getting harder each day and still no fix. Only that what they say is causing it will also affect my heart.
