Surgery on Friday...

Pin It


I am so sorry that I have been absent. I am scheduled to have out-patient surgery on Friday and I have been trying to get everything lined up.  I had doctors visits and of course I had to register with the hospital and get all of the necessary blood work done beforehand. After all of that then came the hard part.... I needed a sitter for the kids. Fortunately, Keith's sister is going to come and stay the night on Thursday and will watch the munchkins Friday. We have to be at the hospital by 7:30 am. That is going to be hard on Keith since he will be coming off of a 12 hour shift. My poor baby. He is working very hard these days. 

 Since I am having guests stay over, of course I  wanted the house to be spotless. I have been working like a mad-woman getting things done. Keith says that I am paranoid about having the house clean. Which in all honesty, I think I am just a little bit! I also needed to get the laundry all done before Friday. The washer has been running quite a bit!

I must get back to cleaning. I thought I needed to drop by and give a shout out to everyone reading.

Manic Monday Mania!

Pin It

It has been a long day! I almost did not make it online to post my Manic Monday Mania! It has also been a very good day so I cannot complain today. Coming off of a good weekend. We enjoyed our time together this weekend as a family. 

I also got some very good news today at the doctors office. I went back to my OBGYN for my test results of my biopsy.... Thankfully, no precancerous cells turned up! I am so happy because of that. So today I cannot complain that the house looks like a mess because of all of the weekend happenings or that I have not been getting sleep. I am a happy camper. 

Celebrating today we are going to listen to a classic from the
 Go-Go's. "We Got the Beat" was released in the U.S. in January of 1982 on their Beauty & the Beat album. 



See the people walking down the street
Fall in line just watching all their feet
They don't know where they wanna go
But they're walking in time

They got the beat
They got the beat
They got the beat, yeah
They got the beat

See the kids just getting out of school
They can't wait to hang out and be cool
Hang around 'til quarter after twelve
That's when they fall in line

They got the beat
They got the beat
Kids got the beat, yeah
Kids got the beat

Go-go music really makes us dance
Do the pony puts us in a trance
Do the watusi just give us a chance
That's when we fall in line

'Cause we got the beat
We got the beat
We got the beat, yeah
We got it

We got the beat
We got the beat
We got the beat
Everybody get on your feet
We got the beat
We know you can dance to the beat
We got the beat
Jumpin',get down
We got the beat
Round and round and round
We got the beat
We got the beat..

Mail Haul & Sleep Deprivation

Pin It
I have had a super busy week. The twins are teething right now and everything is out of whack with them.  Elijah now has 3 teeth on the bottom and 2 on top, while Adam has 2 on the top and bottom. Their sleep schedules are also out of sort. As soon as I get one to sleep the other one wakes up. In the past 72 hours I might have gotten 25 hours of sleep myself. 


They look so sweet & innocent.... What? We didn't do anything!


Twins teething coupled with the fact that Keith started lots of overtime this week and went to 12 hour shifts 5 days a week with a possible half day on Saturday has really hit my sleeping pattern hard. 

Now on to the fun part. This week I received a great mail haul! I can't remember the day (sorry) they all sort of run together! In my mail haul I received the following:


Lil Keith's Disney Cars mail box I scored from Disney Rewards!

Lil Keith is so happy with it!
