A Possible Germaphobe

Germaphobe	-
	Someone who is obsessed with cleanliness and avoiding unsanitary surfaces. Tends to engage in excessive hand washing and fears holding or touching objects handled by other parties

I think I might be a slight germaphobe. Not like a full on A.D.D germaphobe. But I definetly do things that others don't take the time to do.

I'll let you decide.

#1- If I am in public and I see a child coughing w/out covering their mouth or having really nasty         snots, I wanna run the other way.(even though sometimes that is my own child)

#2-As soon as Kirstin returns home from school the rule is to wash her hands immediately.

#3-When in a public bathroom I always flush the toilet with my foot. I have passed this down to my children. I also try to never touch the door handle. yuck!

#4-In my perfect world, anyone cooking my food in public would wear a mouth mask, hair net, and gloves. And a note to my waitress, please don't let your thumb touch my food when you bring it to the table.

#5-I'd rather not shake hands.

#6- Last time I had to take MiKayla to the E.R. I asked the lady taking her vitals if they have ever treated people for bedbugs. She said "all the time, bedbugs and scabies"
(if you know me, you know bedbugs is one of my top fears/anixieties)
My skin was crawling and I wanted to run away screaming. But instead, as soon as we got home, I stripped us both, put our clothes in the wash on hot, took a shower, and lysoled my purse. I have also decided to never take my purse in again.

#7- I do not like to share drinks. The thought of your spit getting in my cup and then me drinking it. blah!
I also do not like to share food. I know its weird but I just don't like it. Except for Derek, I mean we do kiss (with our tongues) so we have the same germs. And I will make exceptions for my kids on occation.

#8- I do not like to share wash clothes or towels. I do not want you washing your goodies with the same cloth I was my goodies, and that goes for drying off. This time it doesn't apply to Derek or the girls.I know they are clean when they get out of the shower, I bathe them. However, this does apply to me visiting you or you visting me. I promise to provide you with clean towels and wash cloths if you visit;)

#9- You know those desinefectant wipes at the grocery store? I do not just use them on the handle you push the basket with. I wipe just about the whole cart off.

#10- As soon as we get in the car after a visit to the store, I pass around hand sanitzer.

Four Days of Fun

So while gramma was here we :

Blew the shofar:)

Did some xmas crafts.

Hung out in our jammies and played wii.

It was freezing.

Went to see the Hartwood Acre Mansion Light Display.

Tunnel of lights.

Santa's sleigh.

That's about it. Mostly playing at home and crafting.

We did eat some super yummy sushi:)

Gramma and the 3 older girls did go on a long walk before it got freezing.

The trip was not long enough.

But it was fun as always.

Can't wait to see everyone at my sisters wedding.

She's Gone :(

Well, mam-ma left.

The girls were so sad.

They kept asking why she can't just move in with us.

Here is a few pictures of her visits from over the years.

Tomorrow I'll blog more about what we did while she was here:)



Mmmmmmm.........

Tonight's dinner:

Homemade meatball subs with garlic sauteed veggies :)

I wish you had a scratch and sniff computer.

I'm so full.

Derek's meatballs make me smile.



She's Here!

Gramma arrived last night at about 9:00.

All day the girls were asking

"now are we going to pick up mam-ma?"

When she walked up to the car there was

screams of joy.

The whole ride home they were asking her if she would play when we got home.

"Will you play kitchen?"

"Will you be the mom and we be the children?" 

"can we show you our pet shops?"

So we finally got home.

Gramma looked at everybody's everything.

She played a little.

We had some vanilla tea.

Then before you knew it, it was after midnight.

Upstairs we all went to crawl in bed.

Kaveri and Kylie wanted to watch some cartoons so I put them

on and set the timer for 30 minutes.

Well thirty minutes later, footsteps on my stairs.

Kyle: "Can i just watch 10 more minutes of cartoons mom"

Me: "ok Kylie, 10 more then thats it."

apparently the nap-car-ride and the excitement of mam-ma's arrival had her hyped.

I get outta my bed and walk over to the steps.

She pinches my butt

Kylie giggling: "mom you have a wedgie" 

Yes Kylie, I crawled out of my warm bed to walk you down the stairs and turn your

tv on for ten minutes and you get to make fun of my booty eatin' my panties.



Another lamp re-do

So I have been working on our entry way.

Which brings me to this:

old and super boring.

I added some ruffles and fabric flowers.

It's not perfect but I do love it:)

It does make me wanna talk in an all r baby voice.

rovely ruffly ramp!

My sweet Baby

Love this little girl.

MiKayla is 18 months old.(in 2 days)

She weighs 18.5 lbs.

Although she is a little muffin, she seems like such a big girl

to me and her daddy.

She is precious.
