My Bad Day

You know as I start to write about my bad day I just want to say I know there are people out there who have it a lot worse then me. 

So my bad day today.

I've been recovering my couch and it looks really good but today while I was sewing one of the cushions I sewed the tip of my finger and might I say it really hurts.

After I had sewn most of the cushion I realized the top and bottom were off by like and inch so I had to unpick the cushion and resew it.

Oh and of course my children wanted my attention while I was doing this so there was much weeping and wailing.

Cicily was very disobedient today I don't know what it is but she listens to people who aren't mom and dad,  Sometimes I feel like chopped liver.

 Nick stayed late at work

A few days ago Cicilly put a pull-up in her laundry basket well I didn't find it till after it had gone through the wash.  Wet pull-up that has been shredded is not fun to clean out of the washing machine.( I was crying)

Nick was sweet though he got home while I was crying and cleaning out the washer, and he wanted to take over for me but it was the only thing keeping me away from my crying children so I said no.  But he did start putting up the Christmas decor and got a 5 buck pizza so I didn't have to cook.  Then we went shopping and we got me some ice cream. Well I was putting the food away and Nick was holding Renick and he asked to switch cause Renick was hungry well I started feeding Renick and Nick forgot about the food and an hour later my ice cream still hadn't got in the freezer. 

hopefully the end.

Hair Cut and Prayer

Cicily has been in need of a hair cut for awhile.  It was to the point that it was starting to look like a mullet, and no one should have a mullet.  So I cut her hair and let me tell you it was frustrating to cut a 22 month old girls hair.  They don't hold still.  ahhhhh!  Luckily it turned out good. 

And for about a week now she's been praying.  I help out with the beginning and the end though.  Yesterday though her prayer was so cute I had to share.  It went like this:


I said: " Dear Heavenly Father, We thank thee for this day"

Cicily Said:  " Dada home,  Dopey home, Lella home (translation Cinderella), Peter Pan home, amen."

Soooo cute.

Our first Thanksgiving alone!

This year Thanksgiving was just a little different for us. Since we're in Florida we were to far away from family to visit. So we had our own Thanksgiving. Just our little family. The day before Thanksgiving I started making dinner so I wouldn't have to do everything the day of. I made the pumpkin pie and the deviled eggs.

Then bright and early in the morning I stuffed the turkey and put it in the oven, made a banana cream pie, took a break while Nick made the sweet potatoes, made the green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, and gravy. And while we were doing all that Cicily was watching the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade and she was waving at all the floats and people on the TV it was really cute. Then right about the time the Turkey was finishing cooking the Carbon Monoxide alarm goes off. At first I was kinda confused because I was thinking it was the fire alarm, but we didn't have any smoke in the house. So I went out side to check if it was the building alarm, because we live in an apartment so it could have been someone else, But it wasn't the building alarm. So I went back inside and looked at the alarm and I realized it was the Carbon Monoxide detector so then I'm panicking wondering what we should do, because dinner had just finished and we had a large thanksgiving dinner just sitting there. It was very frustrating. So we opened all the windows in our apartment, the door too, and Cicily and I sat outside while Nick went to the front office to see if there was anyone there to talk to. Of course no one was there on Thanksgiving though. So Nick called his dad to see what he thought. We all felt fine and we figured it was from all the cooking since our stove and oven is gas and since the heat hasn't been on at all. So Nick reset the detector and it didn't go off again after an hour of airing out.

Luckily most of the food was still hot or warm at least to have our Thanksgiving dinner after that little episode. I think we did pretty good on dinner for cooking my first turkey, banana pie, pumpkin pie, and gravy. It all turned out great even with being sick.  Cicily loved Thanksgiving dinner too she had a little bit of everything and even pointed out a couple things she wanted more of.  

Frustrated!

Today was very frustrating.  I couldn't get ahold of the person that usualy gives Cicily and I a ride to church.  I called 3 times and left a message.  Then I called the relief society president and asked for her help in getting  a ride (this was 2 hours before church).  She never called me back and no one ever called me.  I tried calling her again 10 min. before church was suposed to start and there was no answer so as you can guess, I didn't make it to church.  If I could have walked to church I would have, but it's several miles away and I have Cicily.  Oh and while I was trying to find a ride I was also getting us ready to go to church, prepareing a nursery lesson, and Cicily was crying the whole time.  And since I didn't make it to church I have no idea who is going to take care of the nursery which has around 15 to 18 kids and hardly any help, because no one shows up, kinda like me today!
