Anything But Ordinary...

Such is life, right? Besides, how does one define ordinary? Nothing about the month of April has been ordinary. Just when you think things are looking up, meaning warm, it snows, again. Case in point, today was just lovely. Tomorrow, supposed to be just lovely. Wednesday, snow. What the?!!*/!? It's practically May. Where has Spring gone?

Anyways, I've been a naughty blogger. Here's my attempt at catching up...

The beginning of the month found me at my parents house. They went on a European cruise so I stayed with the kids (they aren't really kids anymore; Parker, Rachel and Zac. I think I was just there to make sure they didn't kill each other). The only thing different than being at my house was I cooked dinner every night. Clint was lovin' it.

It took me a few days to unpack and do laundry only to pack our bags again, we were off to Hawaii!!! We, at least I, had been looking forward to this for a long time. As hard as it was to leave Sadi, I was excited for the break. We left her with my aunt Becky and her fam. My cousin Kellee, 14yrs old, just loves babysitting and Sadi absolutely adores her! I felt really comfortable with the situation and was completely able to relax and enjoy myself. Clint was stressed about work, whats new? With the recent changes at his lot, I understood his hesitations in leaving, but hello, it is Hawaii!!! Everyone in my family went except for my older brother and his fam. Nine of us total. We had a layover in Phoenix and lucky me, two of my very-nice-to-wake-up-early-on-Saturday-morning friends came to hang out with me at the airport, Marisa and Melissa. Yay! Thanks guys!

Ah, Hawaii. It truly is paradise. I've never been more depressed to come home from a vacation. Ailments and all. I'll expand and explain in a serperate post. It was so all that with a cherry on top that it deserves it's own. And, apparently I was tagged. Thanks Candice, stern look. ;) That will also come later.

Clint ended up getting sick in Hawaii, brought it home with him and passed it on to me. I feel like I've completely lost a whole week as I've been down and stuck in the house. We did our darndest to keep Sadi from gettting it, but to no avail, she came down with a fever yesterday. And boy was she mad about it. She was just mad, all day. She would cry and whine for us to pick her up, once in our arms she would kick and scream to get down. If we put her down she would throw herself on the floor and reach up for us to pick her up and then kick and scream to get down again, and so forth and so on. Just mad. I don't know if lucky is the right word, but I am really glad that she didn't get sick until I started feeling better. I don't know how to take care of a sick toddler when I myself feel like I'm trapped in a parallel univererse where dark clouds hover around your head with a constant in your ear want to kill myself ringing. With that said, I am also extremely grateful that I don't have to worry about a job at times like these. It's okay if I do lose another whole week of life just picking up and putting down and holding and cuddling my sick baby because I have nothing pressing and no where to be and mostly, nothing more important than her. Especially not the mounting laundry, the shaggy yard, or the extremely long list of house to do's. Sigh....

Well, many more posts already in the making, so, catch ya later.

Some pics for the sake of pics -


Tub bath time in Grandma and Grandpas tub.

Playing with eggs was funny and cute the first time. Not the second, third or fourth time.

I love yogurt! Oh, and my mom finally cut my mullet, shown here, off!
