I’m going to write a complaining entry, too! I’m so awesome!

No really. Everyone in the house has a cold and as I write this, Jamie is out at the store getting us some real decongestant. You know, the kind that you have to ask for at the pharmacy counter and they register your license? Yeah. My head is so full of snot and the only thing that we have in the house that helps is Benadryl. I can’t take that during the day because it makes me ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

Corey is being the most awesome 7-year-old on the planet and he offered to clean the whole house since I’m sick. I have the best kids. Oh, and he’s currently OBSESSED with Pokemon. He’s been playing the Gameboy Advance whenever he earns video game time and then Jamie brought home a big box of Pokemon cards from work. One of the boys he works with didn’t want them anymore and was going to sell them at the neighborhood yard sale. So Jamie’s been teaching Corey how to play. It’s all I hear about and I have no idea what these Pokemans are called and what they’re supposed to do. I’m letting Jamie be in that world.

Simon copies almost everything Aiden says and it’s the cutest thing. He also likes to say, “Aw do it,” and climb into the van and his carseat all by himself. When I ask him if he wants help, he says, “NO!” I don’t remember Corey being this independent before they were 2.

I can’t remember when Aiden’s follow up appointment is. I think it’s this week but in all the chaos of cleaning out our cabinets for the pest control guy, reorganizing closets, and putting everything back in the cabinets, I can’t remember where the appointment sheet is.

OH THAT REMINDS ME!

We’ve been putting up shelves in our closets and I am in love with all the organization! Our master bedroom closet looks a billion times better, as does the one in the craft room. We still need more shelves along the side wall, but we at least got a head start and in putting things away, we decided not to hang onto all the baby clothes any longer. They just take up too much space and if we do have the hypothetical fourth baby, by then we’ll be able to just get clothes from consignment stores and stuff. Right now, we need the space.

And since we have ridiculously deep & wide closets, we need to take advantage of the area. Next we need to plan the boys’ closet since we need to fit three wardrobes in there and right now it’s not organized well at all. We’re going to get rid of the dresser in there (it was mine when I was little, so that’ll be hart), put up some ClosetMaid stuff and it’ll be awesome.

I hope Jamie comes home with drugs soon. I want to taste my coffee.
