{5 question Friday}

Happy Friday!! This is going to be a crummy weekend already, I can feel it!

I've had to keep my oldest home from school the last 2 days because she's running a fever and what not, my youngest is sick because of teething, I'm sure! And the other child...ughhhh...well I'm dealing with a crabby, not wanting to sleep or do much of anything because she decided to stick a qtip in her ear, therefore punctured it..ughhhh.
Plus, I'm dealing with a double ear infection AND sinus infection. It's misery around here...anyone care to trade places for the weekend?! ha!
Okay...the pity party is OVER!! :P

Onto the questions..yayyy!!



1. What do you do when you are really upset to calm yourself down?
Uhhh, it depends...usually a shower/bath and locking myself in my bedroom with a book always seems to do the trick! Unless it's something major, then I'll call a friend or family..


2. Do you go all out for V-day or is it just another day? yeah, we kind of go all out around here!
I grew up celebrating ALL holidays with a bang, my mom loves to celebrate and spoil us, so when we woke up on Vday she'd always have a nice breakfast made and then we'd get to open our vday presents...so then when JJ and I had kids and I started doing things for vday, he thought it was the weirdest thing buying our kids presents...he thinks it's only for lovers...it's a day to celebrate with ALL your love ones I tell him! :P


3. Are you more or less productive when Hubs is away?
pahahaha...really?! Wayyyyy less productive while he's away!! Then about an hour before he's due home from work I scrabble around the house to clean, get the dishes done, and to start supper!
And of course when he's home I make it look like I slave all day around here..well, I really do...it's not like I get to sit around all day!


4. What is your favorite time of day and why? I'm def. not a morning person...I like the night! 7-8pm is usually my favorite time...IDK why...just seems calm around here during that time!


5. What is your go to karaoke song? Uhhhhh, I like "I love rock n roll!" I can get done with that one!! ;)




Hope you all have a lovely weekend!!!

{love day.}

Happy love day!!!

Funny, while the girls were watching their shows on Nick Jr. today they all called it "love day" and not Valentine's Day...wonder why?! Religion??

We all had a wonderful holiday today, probably one of our better Vday's!
My mom came over and dropped off our Valentine's presents, which is always exciting...she always gets us the best stuff! :P

My grandparents sent the girls cards with $$, as they're in Texas for the winter..snow birds, soooo lucky!!

And then we waited til daddy got home from work to give the girls their presents from us!
We didn't really get them a whole lot this year, knowing they were already getting enough PLUS they were way spoiled for Christmas this year and definitely don't need any toys for awhile!
I made a nice little Valentine's meal..the kids' favorite, JJ's too!
Breakfast for supper! That one never fails, plus it was fun to create it for the festivities! :P


JJ surprised me, after being together for almost 9 years now he's starting to figure out things to NOT get me and things he knows I'll love!

I absolutely hate roses...I think they're ugly, overly used, and expensive.
If he wants to get me flowers I tell him get me some wild flowers from a field or something...don't buy me flowers EVER!

I love chocolate, it's my favorite food, ha...so that's always a smart choice!

He knows makeup, hair products, purses, crafts, and clothes are my favorite...and he every once in awhile will surprise me with those things, but he's always so unsure..but he does have great taste and knows what I like, style wise!
But he stayed away from that for my gift today and got me a 1 month unlimited tanning, & lotion....ahhhhhhh! That guy is amazing!!! Seriously, I was soooo shocked on how well he did with that idea!!! It's been forever since I've been in a tanning bed, I'm sooooo excited to start back up again!!!
Thanks soooo much babe!!!





*********ERRRRRRRRR! The image tab is not working at the moment, so I'm gonna have to come back and add our Valentine photos to this post!!

Five Question Friday.

..Gosh, I always do these sooooo late or just forget all together..errr!
Anyways, it's the weekend and I'm pretty happy about that...that means daddy is home and I get a break, well..a break to maybe make supper with some assistance or something, or to be able to go pee without a child needing to come to the bathroom with me, or just run to the store to pretend I need something just so I can get away! ha. Yeah, the things I look forward to! ;)

Alright, here's the questions:


1. How often do you shave your legs in the winter? Uhhh, I know it's time to shave 'em when my 3 year old says "oh no mama, you have owey pricklies!"
But it's winter and I can get away with it, for a bit! :P


2. Valentine's Day cards for your spouse: funny or romantic?
I depends..I don't go to the store looking for a particular card, it's just whatever I'm in the mood for, usually funny...the first few years of our relationship was all the sappy romance stuff, now we like to find humor in it all!


3. What are you most looking forward to about spring? Just the fact that winter will be over! However, I live in Minnesota and we honestly have no had a winter..quite freaky actually! We're so use to subzero temps, blizzards, school cancelations, ice fishing...we don't have of it!


4. What's your favorite way to pamper yourself? Hair. Getting my hair done is when I feel my absolute best! But I don't mind getting my nails done, a massage, some retail therapy! ;)


5. Does your tax return go into savings or do you spend it instantly? Pssshh! What return?! We don't get to indulge like a lot of people...we usually break even or bring in a bit...maybe with a new baby this year we'll get a bit more back..but not counting on it!

Five Question Friday!

..Happy Friday! Although it's not too happy around here in our household today. Everyone is crabby and just out of sorts.
Sent Tay off to school today and I get a call 30 minutes later that she's in nurse's office with a headache and puking, she came home and slept for 5 hours..the poor girl is just sleep deprived and exhausted..I should have known involving her in too much was going to catch up to her.
So now the poor girl had to miss her cheerleading lock in tonight, I'm so upset for her, broke my heart...but that's life!

Anyways, on to the questions:



1. What have you done recently that you are proud of?
Ummm...is it pathetic if I say I've been keeping up with the households tasks a lot lately?! ha! I feel like I'm in that nesting stage, ya know...in the last few weeks of pregnancy and you want to prepare your house for the new baby and all the visitors...yeah, that's how I'm feeling!


2. What is your favorite way to work out? Or if you don't workout, what are you wanting to try?
I HATE working out on machinery, I like the good ole fashion going for walks, swimming, riding bike, and playing volleyball...fun things!


3. If you knew you best friend was cheating on spouse would you tell?
Ya know...I've been in this situation before and it's one of the hardest positions to be faced with....you've got to weigh out the "risks" and being an honest person...but in my case I kept quiet because I didn't want to stir things up and seem like the bad person.
I just didn't want the drama.


4. If you could afford a live-in maid or nanny, would you have one?
TOTALLY would have a maid, although as above question..I'm really actually enjoying cleaning and organizing these days, but I doubt that'll last forever! ha!
Our house is pretty small but all the dusting that could be done and to have spotless bathrooms would be nice! :D


5. Do you stress out about birthdays (specifically the age) or do you enjoy them?
Nahhhh, I don't really stress or dwell on my birthdays but I will admit they aren't as exciting now after I've turned 21. And now that I'm gonna be 26 and that's 4 more years closer to 30, that seems a bit depressing..I don't like to think about that! :/
I was just thinking the other day...I feel like I'm aging so fast but my mom isn't, I mean she was a teen mom when she had me, so she's pretty young, she's 43 yrs. old...so when I'm 30, she'll only be 47 yrs old! Crazy! That gets to me a bit!



Bonus: Lights off or on? hahaha, well...it depends if I'm going to bed with or without makeup on and my hair done or wet in a towel from showering before bed! LOL :P


I hope you all enjoy your weekend!
