Days of a three year old

So Kamryn yesterday was really in rare form. She told me the truth about her! Which turned out to be that she was infact a princess....Yikes! I find myself thinking "oh boy! what have I got myself into!" She Had Everyone, Robert, Tristan, Me, Grandma and even diesel all in a queen sized bed watching snow white at ten o'clock at night. You tell me who other than a princess could really do that? Earlier that day though I had Gone to Help Robert finish up work on a Bathroom side job. Of course like any good handyman we cleaned everything before we left. Sadly for us, the owner hadn't cleaned in oh....shall we say three years? It was the nastiest bathroom I'd ever been in. Besides some truck stops. So coming home from that to the funny saying and joy of a little girl was just what I needed. Sadly the joy didn't last for this morning all we have done is cry and scream. A lovely three year old morning~ It's mornings like this that I look forward to nap time in the fullest. Grandma's are truely life savers in moments of fits. As I'm just about to snap and end up in a straight jacket from the Constant screaming of NO and I''m not going to be nice, they appear like a lovely Prozac all wrapped up in ribbon to drag the three year old from certain death. Needles to say I love these days but I will be surely happy when our outbursts of being three are over. I suppose now that I've had my 15 min to get my sanity back I better go do some damage control and clean up. It's my turn to save grandma.

Catching up~

Wow, it's August already and the last time I posted was in May. There has just been so much going on I haven't even had time to breath! So Here's my update! Around mid May robert, the kids and I went on a vacation to Vegas. Roberts parents took the kids for 5 days and Robert and I went to California with a wonderful couple, the Tews. We went to the ocean and picked seashells, hiked and swam for five days. It was a very nice and much needed Vacation. We celebrated both kids birthdays while in vegas and both set of grandparents got to see the kids. Shortly After getting back to chicago We went right back into our everyday life. Kids, work, so on and so forth. I planted a garden with tomatoes, jalapenos, bunch of different bell peppers, Cayenne peppers, cucumbers, watermelons, pumpkins, beets, peas, zucchini, squash, carrots, chard, corn, and a few other misc. peppers. Sadly I had to replant alot of the tomatoes and peppers along with the watermelons and cucumbers a few times due to a small rabbit issue......Those Wascaly Wabitts! So I created a lovely red-neck makeshift fense~ it helped and my plants finally started to grow. I watched them everyday like a mom watches kids and was so excited everytime I saw a new bud coming up. I knew that eventually I would have my first garden. I had worked so hard to get it ready, pulling weeds, tilling, pulling weed paper, fertilizing, killing grubs and potato bugs. So you can only imagine my excitement when I was able to eat my first early pea.
Next comes the crazy........Now this next small chapter in my crazy life is one that I"m happy I'm moving on from. Robert and I were having issues like any married couple and had come to a choice of splitting up. So I called my parents and they drove from Utah to Illinois to come get me. We loaded up everything I could pack in the back of their pickup ntruck and headed to the West. After a few choice conversations, a little temper and a agreement to talk robert got in the car and came to meet upu with me and the kids. Lincoln Nebraska comes and Robert caught up to us. I spent the next day in a car with him trying to figure out if we could figure this out. We came to an agreement we would leave chicago and come to las vegas. We asked my parents to watch the kids so we could go back and sell the house out there and get our stuff. They agreed and luckily my Mom has the summer off being that she is a teacher. So she was able to watch the kids. We drove from las vegas to Chicago again and in two weeks painted an entire five bedroom house cleaned packed, repaired, new carpet. Also had a whole house Garage sale. Made enough to pay the carpet replacement and all the gas to get here along with part of the moving truck cost. So needless to say that's been crazy~
Once we got to Vegas robert contacted some people and applied with company called Epslon solutions. We are waiting for his contract to go through for him to start working. He's doing all the side jobs he can as a handyman. Waiting on a foreclosure to move into and we'll be able to stop living in boxes! Robert and I are looking for things to do as a couple more and more. Trying to make it and getting him on some stablizers. Trying to do this thing called life and marriage! I'm trying to get my photography going but having a hard time when I don't have a portfolio! Getting ready to take some cake decorating classes and trying to do that for extra money on the side. Then to add to the mix. Roberts parents house flooded and robert had to fly out for a week to get it repaired. It sold but wow! what a mess!! And that's not all! on sunday night the 8th as I was talking on the phone with my parents they got a call from my grandma Y. that my grandpa was in the hospital. This is just two days after the house flooding call and robert flying out. Then I find out on 8-9-10 My grandpa had passed away. So I drove up to Utah for a much unexpected funeral. I spent that week going through pictures and helping my mom get everything ready. It was really hard but I think I would have been mad at myself if I didn't go up and get involved in some way. So Needless to say Thursday was the funeral and we layed my grandpa to rest. I think I cried more than any other person in my family. But whatever, it's ok, I'm just more emotional I guess. Anyway......That following day my Crazy cousin decides it's a good idea to hand out their wedding invitations at the funeral dinner.....Really? Wow.....Mine ended up in the garbage. I couldn't believe it, I was so angry that my own family (extended) would do something so innappropriate! Makes you remember why there are certain people in your family you just don't talk to but once a year. If that!
Saturday of that week I made a bunch of raspberry jam and apricot/pineapple. Brought it down to Vegas with me only to find out Robert doesn't even like raspberries.....MORE For ME!!! Anyway.....Robert got back from chicago and some people ihave bought it which is such a blessing. The house is off of us and his parents. But no sooner is the house fiasco under control does another one kick up....Bugs! something unsure of what is eating us alive! Robert's parents had a run in with bed bugs a while back and had the whole house sprayed, robert and I tiled two rooms and they are gone but something else has moved in! Got sprayed again today and hopefully the 24 vegas buffet that is our bodies will end. So that's basically my life and my summer the last few months~ I know I'm missing something but I'm sure I'll remember and have to update more later!
