TOO TIRED THURSDAY

By -
Do you notice a recurring theme? I'm so tired. I don't understand it. I never have this much trouble with feeling tired. I think my lack of energy is my body fighting something off, but good grief, I just want to get back to normal. NO, I haven't been drinking orange juice. Don't you dare ask me that............

I decided the grass did not need to be cut today, so I ran the sprinkler system because it hasn't rained in a while.

I thought it looked peaceful.

I did do my run this morning 8x800 (I did each of the 8 half mile runs in 4 minutes or less, most of them under). I checked the pool chemicals and there weren't any. SO, I will throw some shock? in it tonight???? I also cleaned off the back porch like I said I would do. I oxycleaned the corner that Pirate had her babies in. Everything got a good scrub down. The main trouble with cleaning that porch off is that it gives me the heebeejeebeeies. I vacuumed up some kind of spider that had mutilated a big freaking spider. I am certain I will have creepy crawly nightmares tonight.


One of my FB friends (HI! Katy!!) posted this and the girls and I thought it was so cool!

Autumn's reaction: "WHOA!!"

Millie's reaction: "I want to grow up to be a octpus."

Yes, she pronounces octopus just like that!

The girls both had a great day at school today. While waiting in the pickup line, I got a text from Kayleigh Satterfield's mom. We are going to meet up at Chickfila on Tuesday so the girls can play.

Your mom came over and totally interrupted homework, but Autumn got a new list of words to work on and she knew 2/10, so this list should take a little bit longer than the last one.

Finally, I cooked dinner.

We had Minute steak w/fried egg and arugula salad w/warm bacon vinaigrette. Obviously the girls had ranch instead and neither one of them will eat a fried egg, but both those girls ate salad. Who cares about the fried egg!!

I'm guessing she forgave me about not sending the basil leaf in her lunchbox today. She is excited for pizza day at school tomorrow.

I love you and miss you.

Your current wife and favorite airman. xoxo

Are you home yet?

Snowzilla.

Autumn and I began the day shoveling the driveway. That is much more work than it sounds like. I had to get us both suited up for the ten degree weather, put her in the backpack, then head on out. It took us about an hour to finish the driveway and when we came back in, poor little Autumn's face had frost nip on it. She has now had frost nip twice. Later today, we went to visit Snowzilla. Frosty the Snowzilla man is huge!!! The local government is trying to put a stop to Snowzilla citing a building code violation. Well, I say down with the man!!!! Keep Snowzilla up. He isn't hurting anything. Anyway, here is a photo of Autumn and me with Frosty the Snowzilla man. Here is a related article in the Anchorage Daily News.

Playing with fire.

I hear clank, clank, clank in the kitchen. This cannot be good, grab the camera first though- for proof. You never know what you might find. Uh huh! AUTUMN!! What mom? I wasn't doing anything! So I've moved the knives for now, but it is only temporary. They need to go in a locked cabinet. I took Autumn's step stool upstairs to our bathroom so she could brush her teeth. I think I'm going to head back to Target and buy another one. I'm lazy and do not want to drag one up/down the stairs. Autumn really enjoys brushing her teeth.... with MY toothbrush! Say AHHHHHHH- checking to make sure she did a good job. She is so funny. Autumn and I are going to head downtown after nap time to see about the ice sculptures and check out the Christmas lights. Remember that house in South Anchorage that does the Christmas lights to music over FM radio? This year is the last year, he is moving and his new neighborhood cannot support the traffic. He may set them up somewhere e...

The man in the box.

Not really, it is just Autumn but saying the little girl in the box doesn't sound as cool. Autumn got in the box and was popping out of it. Then she told me, "Mommy, go that way." I think Autumn is on the tail end of this "cold." She already seems to be feeling better. Her nose is drying up, so that is good. I gave both of the girls a bath tonight, then I even got one! Emelia did something today that shocked me..... She rolled over. Of course that happened the day after you leave. Something else that waited for you to leave..... a 4.9 earthquake. It was the first time I've actually felt one since we moved to Alaska. It was, to say the least, scary to me! It did sound like a train/car/plane hit the house. Autumn was in rare form today. She told me that: She was going to take a nap on the stairs. Just kidding!! Such a sweet girl. Tomorrow we go to the Buckner gym for the first time with Emelia. I'm feeling a little nervous about it, but I'm...
