Monday Morning(ish)

What.a.NIGHT!

Luck was running short in the Wood household last night. Someone's karma bit the wrong two people :( first off, Garett somehow caught a stomach bug causing him to have a fever if 101 on top of his congestion, and projectile vomiting on my bed (twice) (not to mention I changed the sheets in between too.). My poor boy :( he was smiles the whole time, which is probably why it took us an hour to figure out he was even sick! ...so out came the Otrivin sea water for babies nasal spray, tempra and water to stay hydrated. I was all set to cuddle with him in bed all night. But he had different plans. He wanted to go to his crib around 10:30. At 11 he woke up crying for his bottle, so we gave him some and he went back to sleep until almost 9 this morning. He seems 100% better other than the stuffy nose, but I'm getting rid of that pretty quickly I think :)

In the midst of all of this, I was cooking our dinner. Here is what I made:
Garlic Parmesan roasted potatoes
A brown sugar and garlic chicken

Delicious right? Couldn't tell ya. Ty liked it, but I was in too much pain to eat it. You see, the potato recipe says to heat the oil in a pan in a 500 degree oven. Then toss the potatoes in the oil, put back in to cook until tender and then you take it out and toss the fresh ingredients in...well...everything was fine until I took them out for the tossing part, literally everything in your brain says GRAB THE HANDLE when you stir...well I did...without an oven mitt. Left hand :burned. Ouch! So I ran it under cool water for 15 minutes and kept it submerged for a while. I was feeling somewhat better (random sprints to the sink when I got a burning sensation), when I walked by the stove again and went to move to pan--right hand :burned!!! Wtf. I burst out laughing for a second before the tears started to pour down my face. I had managed to burn BOTH of my hands. Ty had to care mostly for Garett for a few hours while I stood a the sink or with a cup of lol water attached to both hands. I hate burns!!! Eventually I put on some polysporin, and once I got Garett down, the pain had subsided enough so I could sleep. Lesson learned--never cook with a pan in the stove again. Apparently I'm too forgetful now lol

Yesterday afternoon, Ty got the rest of the outside lights put up. And they withstood the crazy wind/rain storm last night! 

Today, I think we deserve to watch made for TV movies and relax lol. We had some French toast for breakfast and don't feel like doing much--Garett is pretty content playing all day :)

Happy Monday!!

Life Lately

-Hosting Bearbrook Ladies night two weekends ago was wonderful! I put out a full charcuterie spread, made a mint/cranberry/grapefruit drink to share, and all of us received a tarot card reading, palm read and a facial read. Pretty much the reoccurring consensus between all three reads (it was two different people doing it) was that my heart and mind live in a state of conflict, but that it works for me to live in a state of balance. I deal mostly with logic and facts, and less with emotions; they think I would be good as an analyst (weird, since this is pretty well my role at work), and with numbers (which I also do all day at work lol). I'm stubborn and loyal and do not have a mean streak. That I am the same person at home as I am in social settings...blah blah blah. It was interesting! -Last weekend, we went out to Tyler's Disco Inferno show to celebrate our friend Jami and Donna's birthdays. We danced away (one of Keira's ECE's from daycare came out too!) and i...

-Garett went on his first friend play date ever , and he had so much fun. It was his two best friends that left daycare to start school last year. -happy that while Garett was at his play date, Tyler was home with Keira and I went out for a bit alone, then came home and we finished The Belko Experiment movie before I went to get him. (He was there for two hours) -sad that this week, Garett only has four days left at daycare :( Friday is Keira's first day, while I keep g home with me. Can't believe it's already almost school time!! -as a "goodbye" gift from g, we bought his daycare provider a necklace from peoples that is a heart with some Garnet stones in it (Garett's birthstone), to remember him by, and I ordered an Aukey essential oils diffuser , a doTERRA starter kit and an essential oils mixing guide recipe book thing. Hopefully she likes it. -Keira adapted SO well to putting herself down for her nap. She's down to one a day, and I just give...

Friday fun!

Thank God it's Friday, and that this week is O-V-E-R!!! -It was a stressful week at home. Looking forward to a fun weekend! -I am being audited for child care expenses in 2018--I'm not the only one that thinks we pay too much money in child care! LOL...I submitted my receipts online (they are catching up with the times and it's great!) and turns out I actually underclaimed by a few hundred dollars haha. -Tonight is calm, just hanging at home with the kids. -Saturday I have an eyelash appointment at 2:00, and then we have a sitter coming at 6:00 so we can go to a Wine & Cheese night up the road at our friends house. -Sunday is a day of rest until the evening when Shan comes over and we head into town to go to the Trailer Park Boys Christmas at the NAC (I bought Tyler and I tickets as an early Christmas gift). We are sitting pretty close, so I hope we don't get any of their nasty sweat on us lol -Monday I am off since the TPB thing only starts at 8PM, I didn...
