brain dump.

tonight i felt like blogging (instead of doing a list of other crap i should be doing).  it's going to be a total brain dump and scattered all over the place.  enjoy.

the kids are sick.  well, levi just has a runny nose, but tucker has a horrible cough.  he ran a fever of 100* last night, but hasn't had one since.  i had a sick day on monday to bring levi in for his 18 month checkup, and ended up bringing both of them in.  tucker was prescribed an inhaler.  for this and for his other coughing spells he gets when he gets worked up (running around).  i've given them warm vapor baths, gave tucker honey in different forms (which he was not a fan of), cough syrup, vicks ... you name it.  i want this sickness over now.  listening to them cough and hack is the worst.  i'm not one to bring my kid in to the doctor for a simple cold/cough, but this one was bad.  so, hoping tucker goes back to school tomorrow.  he's missed two days (which he was pretty bummed about).  pray we have a good night!

i will do a post on levi soon.  need to update you on all his eighteen month-ed-ness. 

this next month is going to be a struggle at weight watchers.  even though i lost .8 during the week of thanksgiving ... i think december is going to be hard.  cookies.  fudge.  candy.  hoping the changes coming to the plan and also biggest loser on tv help to keep me motivated.  i'm sort of looking forward to the new year and the new push again.  i don't want to waste december, but i just know it will be tough.

i ordered myself new snow gear.  i'm pumped.  tucker also got a new winter jacket and bibs since the kid is growing like a weed.  levi fits perfectly in some of tucker's things i saved so that's awesome!

i may or may not have bought chocolate stars recently and ate some.  whoops.  sorry weight watchers!  see, i'm week.  i need bob harper.

i want siri.  like yesterday.

i need to get cracking on my christmas shopping.  not sure if i want to do it ALL online.  last year i think i did almost everything online.  so nice, but this year i think i might hit up the stores for some things. 

we put up our tree tonight.  pretty sure levi is going to be the cause of 'christmas tree catastrophe 2011'.  besides unplugging the lights, he already ripped off a couple ornaments almost causing the tree to tip. 

tucker is loving hockey.  i have to do a post about this soon. 

i really need to paint my living room.  haven't i been saying that for like a year now?  okay, maybe i haven't been writing about it due to my lack of blogging, but dude, it's been ON MY MIND.  let's see how much longer it takes me.

i think that's enough for now.  hope to catch up on things ... anything ... around here soon.  wondering if anyone is even still reading.  :)

I hope your boys get better soon, no fun! Congrats on the 8#s lost!! That's really great, keep it up! (now if i could only find that motivation for myself!) It's very hard finding time for myself when it's just me here. And Christmas shopping...urgh! That seems so un-fun this year!

What changes is WW making? I've been thinking of starting it up again, I did it after I had Hailey and had really good results...I just need to do something!!!

Ryan and I are going to make a date night out of Christmas shopping this year. I got a few things online, but we've still got stocking stuffers and a couple of small things left. I'm really looking forward to it...shopping without kiddos? Yes, please!!!

Hope everyone is sick-free soon!!!

I'm still reading. :-) And nice brain dump. And I hear you about December and trying not to eat every sweet thing in sight. I have decided if I stay where I am for December, I am doing good. Plan on doing a restart on the healthy eating part come January. Hope your kiddos are feeling better soon.
