We got up and fixed the kids a drink and William started cooking himself breakfast. Then we decided to go out and have a smoke. We come back in and Lauren's left eye is swollen half shut. We put her up on the counter to look at her, and found an ant on the left side of her neck. I tried getting it off, but it was almost like a tick. A piece stayed there. I finally got it off. She had a red spot, but it was nothing like her eye. She is very sensitive to bug bites. Her mosquito bites almost looked like infected wounds. Her flea bites look like big mosquito bites. And I guess ant bites make her look like she has been beaten. Obviously she has a high tolerance for pain, because she wasn't even messing with the ant. She didn't act like it hurt when we messed with her eye either. The child was actually playing in ants. They have overrun our house, I swear. Even after they had all been poisoned.
OK, then I try to get online. The computer acts funny so I restart. Then it freezes in the restart mode and I have to pull the cord out to cut it off. So, I get on again, and I try to get to my email for over 20 minutes. I get mad and restart again. Then, FINALLY it worked. I swear, my nerves are already shot, LOL.
Toni is supposed to come over today. She always says she is going to do this and that, and never does. I hope she does though. She wants to look into some of my Mary Kay stuff. I gave her a foundation yesterday. She gives us free cuts and stuff, so I will give her free makeup when I have it to give.
Gina (Regina Ragsdale) is supposed to come tomorrow. I hope she does too. She was talking about how she loves the TimeWise stuff. Good, I like people to buy Timewise stuff, LOL. She said she loves the foundation too but hasn't bought any in a long time.
I know Mom is wanting some stuff. She placed an order online, but then backed out because she didn't have the money. I can totally understand that.
I hope this doesn't end up like it usually does, and everyone backs out at the last minute. I e-mailed Toni directions, and told ehr I would cook green pepper steak, rice, and yeast rolls if she would just let me know if she wanted to come for lunch or dinner. She hasn't replied yet.
Well, I am starting to freak out again about William leaving. I thought I had already gotten past all this. I guess I was wrong huh? I really wish he didn't have to go. I get so scared sometimes. But I keep telling myself he will be fine. Now if only I could convince myself that it is true...
Jennifer's baby shower is Saturday. I have her a basket full of stuff. Well there is the basket, a bedtime bath set, a regualr bath set, that little plastic container with all the meds in it, hangers, the wooden letters and hook (spells Peyton), and a bottle brush. Oh, and 3 packs of outlet covers and nail clippers. The only stuff on her list was the hangers, bottle brush, and wooden letters. She had individual things like Advil and Tylenol and an aspirator, but that was all in that kit. I know it is stuff that will come in handy even if she got multiples. You can never have too much Tylenol or Advil. Nor too many hangers or pairs of clippers. NEVER!
Next I get to go shopping for Amanda! YAY! I am sooooo excited. I am going to be an aunt! A REAL AUNT! William said she isn't allowed to have the baby until he gets back, but I don't think that will happen, LOL. She will be due March 1 according to her calendar, and he won't be back until April. I don't think she will hold it in just for William, hehehe. I can't wait to hold these new babies! I love little babies! And of course, I won't smoke before I am going to be around them or anything. I will be respectful :)
Well, I guess that is all for now. I will be back though!
