I just licked the bowl of batter of the cake I'm making for a wedding in 2 weeks (I'm freezing and flying it to Cali). Holy crap, that is going to be some amazing cake.
I stayed up 2 hours later than I had to the other night interneting around because David made me angry by telling me to come to bed so I didn't come to bed. Yes, I am 5.
I really hate flakey people. A lot. More than almost anything. Seriously.
In two weeks, in the span of 18 days, I will have done 8 cakes, an order of cupcakes and an order of sugar cookie-pops. Oh, and one of those 8 cakes will be 4 cakes for a wedding in Cali. Yeah, I'm insane.
I forgot my Dad sharpened my chef's knife and sliced open my finger while cutting up a watermelon tonight.
I just ate an entire tupperware of watermelon.
I get out of breath at climbing one flight of stairs.
My husband has gone on more man dates than wife-dates in the past month.
The end.

I suppose I could put up my clean dishes
But where is the fun in that?
Nowhere, I tell you.
So, the past 3 days I have felt like kaka because I got a lymphatic drain because I have been SO congested and my sinuses have been so swollen since my surgery. Let me just say I felt AWFUL after ... which means I really needed it and will need to do it again. The massage therapist at my chiro thinks that my ear ringing is linked to that, so here's to hoping she is right. The side of my ear-ringing is a lot more "swollen" if that is the word - basically when you press into either sides of my neck/head, you can feel that one side is more cushy with fluid than the other, and that is lymph fluid which will hopefully go away after a few more session! I will feel awful all Summer if it means my stupid ear ringing will go away!
Anyways, so the point of saying that is that the last 3 days I have felt awful I have spent in the couch, with netflix, watching BBC mini-series/Masterpiece Classics AND Disney Channel Original Movies. Guys, you have to be fair and balanced - if I only watched the BBC stuff, I couldn't ever watch anything else b/c it wouldn't compare! So I shook it up with a few well placed DCOM's and had a great weekend with myself - since David worked all day today and yesterday.
No, I will not see my Husband until the Fall, and I'm okay with that! Just think of how much we'll have to talk about once the Summer is over.
Also, are we the only ones that spend hours and hours talking during the week, at home and on the phone, and when we finally go out on a date night because "we never see each other" we just end up being quiet? No? Just us? Oh well. I just love him and am glad that I get to have him all to myself for a week in August! We are going on a cruise and I plan on debriefing about our Summers and tanning and eating ourselves sick! It's gonna be awesome!
Anyways, David is now home from work, so I am going to go hang out with him!

Nanny diaries
so..... its 9:46 pm and miraculously, all three girls are in bed, and have been for 15 minutes. 2 are already asleep. This never happens. These girls are SO hard to get into bed.
The youngest two girls acted like angels tonight - its SO nice. We made banana boats and played Sorry Slider and had a jolly good time. They did everything I asked them to (there was a slight incident with me saying I wouldn't buy them shorty shorts and a very pre-teen reaction) and were just really good kids. I needed a night like tonight.
The oldest has literately not talked to me for a week, other than one word answers only when absolutely needed. (i.e. if I ask her a direct question that HAS to be answered). I pissed her off last week by making her turn our her light and go to bed, then had a very stern talking to about her behavior and how it was unacceptable and she needed to be more mature if she was going to get any freedoms at all from me this Summer - I am hoping that she snaps out of this soon, and if she doesn't, she is going to have an AWFUL Summer - which would SUCK for me because I want to have a FUN Summer! Luckily, she is going to Europe for two weeks with some program so when she gets back, hopefully she's over her little pre-teen tantrum!
I was talking to a friend last night about how this job is so. much. harder. than younger kids - I have to help with homework and deal with them absolutely refusing to eat dinner and then making their own if they don't like what I'm making (which is frankly driving me insane, because I make them healthy dinners with protein and veggies and then they eat a bowl of insulin-spiking cereal and skim milk and then they are brats the rest of the night). I am trying to find a healthy balance between what I think is best, and just doing my job. One perk about this job is that I have 0 moral hang-ups about being here. The Mom is not really in the picture (except on alternating weekends, but she has poor health and sometimes doesn't even see the kids then) and the Dad HAS to work and since he's an ER doc can't really choose his hours - so I don't feel like I am doing a job that someone else even COULD be doing - I feel like having a Nanny is really the only option for their family. It isn't an issue of sacrificing one parents salary to stay home! So that is super nice and refreshing and takes a huge load off my back and makes me never want to do any other kind of Nanny job again..... unless it was the same situation with a baby because lets face it, babies don't talk back or give you a week's worth of the silent treatment or make their own cereal when they don't like what you made! Haha.
Overall, I am digging this job.

The one about how I'm an awful wife
So I am home alone right now, because David is doing setup at Gymboree all by his lonesome in Plano. I helped him yesterday in Dallas, but wasn't much help due to me not being able to lift heavy things or bend over as a result of las sugery, and I feel cruddy today, so I stayed home.
SOME of you might be saying: this doesn't make you bad wife! But I could have at least gone and kept him company. I could have made the 30 minute drive more enjoyable. I could have drawn a map of where the equipment goes so that the next time we do that same set up, it'll be that much faster. But no. I'm a bad wife and stayed home.
This is especially bad since this weekend, David came babysitting with me and was a total gem. He played with the kids while I made dinner, helped me stop freaking out when the fire alarm went off a 3 am and almost gave me a heart attack, and made the kids love him more than me. He says this is his master plan for our future children as well, but whatever. I'll be with them more and so they'll love ME more... right?
Anyways, I am going to try to be a less awful wife and a better wife ... once I feel totally better. Which will hopefully be in another week.
The End.

Its 2AM and I'm on drugs
So my surgery was last Weds.
Let me just say it has not been very pleasant.
Weds, after the surgery, I felt AWFUL. I thought, maybe, I was going to die. Seriously. I was swallowing a lot of blood so I was throwing up and felt really ill and whatever the heck they used for the anestesia was AWFUL and I seriously just felt really bad. And I hadn't eaten all day and yeah, it was no fun. My Mom & David forced me to eat some toast and drink some stuff, which made me feel a bit better, but also made me feel sick. When I woke up Thursday, I felt somewhat better, but generally still like crap - which has been how I've felt until now. I can function - I can be out in public and my nose is just a bit swollen and doesn't really hurt - but I just don't feel great. I get my splits out of my nose this Weds, and I can not WAIT. It feels like massive boogers you want to pick out, but you can't. Its horrible.
Anyways, can I just mention how glad I am to be married to David?
He sat in a waiting room for a billion hours on Weds (like, 5 actually) while I got this surgery. He helped me get dressed afterwards, he held my hair back when I barfed, he did everything I asked him to that night, no matter how ridiculous, and he let me be an utter brat all weekend. It gives me great hope that someday, when we have a baby, he'll be the best husband to an annoying pregnant lady of all time.
In other news: We are getting a new fridge! Stainless steel! Side by side! With an ice and water dispenser! for $60!! My dad is working for people who are putting in a new kitchen and they asked if he knew anyone who wanted a fridge! HELLLOOO! Yes, we do! And so we are getting it for the price of a new ice maker! This makes me super happy because we were going to buy a new one anyways, and now we can buy an over-the-range microwave and some flooring instead! Yay for the kitchen getting done sooner! WOOOHOOO! Maybe I can also talk David into a dishwasher - I want one SO badly, you guys!
Oh, we are also getting professional double ovens! Which means I can bake my cakes faster! They will replace the oven we have in the garage right now (there is some rule about duplex's and having ovens or something, so its in the garage, which is great since I bake all summer without heating up the house, and the garage is just steps from our kitchen!) and I am going to have to buy more pans! I'm just excited! YAAAY!
Okay, my tummy hurts and I am going to try to get some sleep. I miss Lau and Kels and I wish they would come back to Irving and stay up late with me.
The End.

My days, they are numbered
With my work from home job, that is.
My boss just said they are trying to take things "back in house." How long that will take, no one knows, but it has sure been good while its lasted! My credit card doesn't carry a balance anymore, our bed is all paid for, we have some money in savings and David starts his Internship in 10 days and we'll be a two income household for a few months which will allow us to save for some fun things a-coming up! Plus, boyfriend will be GRADUATED in December and then after he takes his NCLEX will have a real live grown-up job! Whaaat?!!
Plus, I've been asked to do some more organizing for some people and have been doing more cakes and a LOT more babysitting and David and I were just talking about how much longer I would keep doing it, as it seems to suck up my day, even when I only work a few hours a day! So maybe this is a good thing?
Plus, swim lessons with the Nanny agency I placed my job thru pay BANK in the Summer - like 30-40 bucks an hour! So I think I'll be able to make up the difference in what I'm making with my work from home job!
We feel super broke most of the time, but then we realize that we've had a lot of things to pay for!
Including: My surgery tomorrow! What? Yepp! Turns out that in addition to massive allergies (I scored a 29/30.... which is way above average) I also have a deviated septum! Which has caused chronic sinitus! In english, this means that I can't breathe out of one side of my nose very well, or really at all, and somehow this has caused me to have a massive sinus infection for the past who knows how long. It explains why I snore, why I always feel like I have a cold, and why I sleep better on my left side! Yay!
This blog post was all over the place.

The weather
Am I seriously writing a post ably the weather? The answer is yes. Am I avoiding other, more serious and pressing topics? Also yes. But let's get on with the discussion on the weather.
Please see the photos below, one of the park where I went and sat for a while waiting for a friend to get home. It was such a lovely day that I just sat there and soaked in the awesome for a good 20 mins.
The other pic is one I took on my way to work. Obviously someone is confused about where we live....and its probably because of the crazy awesome weather!!
I know it won't last forever, but I am sure enjoying it while it is here!!
The end.
