100th Post

Wow have I been posting that much? I have taken to this blogging thing and enjoy capturing the little moments during my days with the girls. I hope that you are enjoying it too :)

SO what have we been up to lately? Not much. We have been strictly homebound for the last two days. Yesterday Tom's Jeep died on the way to work... we aren't sure why as it was one of the warmer days in the last 2 weeks (10 degrees). So he took the van to work and we were stuck at home. It was an interesting day... Abby had her good moments and her not so good ones. Kara was very very fussy and cried most of the day. There were a few times that I couldn't console her and with 2 other children in the house needing my attention she got left to cry a few times. When the odds are 3 to 1 there isn't much you can do. Kiley probably got the least amount of attention because she was so sweet and sleepy...

I'm not sure what was bothering Kara, she threw up a few more times and wanted to just eat and eat and eat. Abby decided in the afternoon that she needed to scream. So the one time I called my mom she was screaming at the top of her lungs. There wasn't much to our conversation obviously. Around 6:30 I couldn't handle Abby any longer and both babies were screaming. So I asked her if she wanted a bath (usually my last trick). She played with her new bath toys... Kara was screaming, Kiley had given up after a few minuets and gone back to sleep... 15 minuets... Kara was still screaming so I told Abby I had to grab the baby quick. (She's really good with the water so I wasn't too worried about leaving her for a minuet)

Well in the 30 seconds that it took me to get into the nursery, grab Kara and get back... Abby had gotten OUT of the tub, grabbed a pink bath towel and brought it back into the tub with her.... I fed Kara in the bathroom as I watched Abby in the tub. Then Abby decided it was time to get out.

I was a little stressed by the time Tom got home to watch the Hawkeyes play. I took a bath and read a book after Abby went to bed. I needed the 'alone' time.

It doesn't look like I'll be getting out again today. There is a blizzard warning and temps are supposed to be very cold (-3 for a high) I'm not even sure if Tom will make it home tonight. He is making arrangements to stay in town if it is too bad. My Dad might be staying over at my house if he can't make it home. I guess we'll see what the night brings!Well Abby is digging things out of the drawers :P Time for me to run!
