Dream Dream Dream...

Dreams. What are they? Wierd manifistations of our imaginations? Have you ever realized that you were dreaming? I remember always hearing "if you die in your dreams you die in real life" I hope that isn't true. I had the craziest dream this morning. It is a bit detailed to go into but long story short. I made fun of someone and they shot me in the back. I then realized in my dream that I was dreaming and that "if you die in your dreams you die in real life" was going through my mind. I tried to wake up but it seemed like hours. I even felt the intense pain and stinging from the gunshot wound and then the warmth one would feel from bleeding out. I eventually woke up. Probably only seconds in real life. My back hurts.

Just when you think they're getting on your last nerve...

They go and do something cute.

Isabella decided to conduct her own concert

while I listened to Mozart as I was cleaning the house

Donut Drums

Isabella had been bugging me to eat a donut yesterday. After many attempts to get her to eat her lunch, she finally got the donut she wanted. Now one would think she would inhail it like a Great Dane would a burritto, but alas this was not the case. No... she had a sudden urge to eat off all the frosting and play the "Donut Drums." I only knew this was happening because from the kitchen I could hear a "Squishing" sound along with singing. when I investigated I found this.

Ok, my 2yr old has been buggin to watch this "Gummie Bear" song from youtube. When she wants to watch it she asks "I watch Gummie Bear Butt?"

Ok- so I "Survived" this cold...

Simply Sick

Simply sick...that's what my friends are telling me. It's not that simple though. It all started with my older son, go figure he dragged something from HS home and came down with a really bad cold. Don't worry, he got over it in about 4 days. Lucky him. The rest of us not so lucky. One by one we have been dropping like flies. Oh and I almost forgot my hubby...he didn't get sick. Go figure?

If you go by my "Tweets" on Twitter it went something like this:

Day 1 (Friday)

Tweet: Brandon is sick as a dog

Day 2

Tweet: Isabella is sick too

Day 3

Tweet: Mom is dying on the couch

Day 4

Tweet: went to Dr. it's official, we're dying...on the couch

Day 5, 6, 7

Fever hits everyone we're all dying in the living room with the shades drawn

Day 7, 8, 9

Almost all are well - no fevers, eating etc...

except me! I have lost my voice. Have you ever tried to run a house with 4 kids, 1 husband, 1 dog, 1 bunny with no voice? I'm finding myself hitting the wall and snapping my fingers at people to get thier attention. Even my darling husband has made fun of me.

Yes! My loving husband of 16 yrs is making fun of how I talk. He was so kind to point out to me that I sounded like a deaf person trying to talk while he made hand jesters at me. "Thanks hunny!" So to complicate things my smart alecky kids got out the sign language book and have been signing to me all day. (BTW I don't know sign language!) That's ok...the days of take-out because mom is sick are almost over and they're going to have to eat my cooking again sometime! Haha
