So you all have been so great praying for me to get some sleep and sleep I did.
Not in the form I was really wanting. This mom got pink eye and about 24 hours of sleep.
I am on the mend today, my eyes look AWESOME and no I won't be sharing that with you but enjoy a picture of sleeping Kate instead.
It has managed to not get the hubs or the baby which I am VERY thankful for. Keep praying for continued healing and health for them.
We missed church on Sunday and my fabulous Niece's birthday but we weren't about to expose anyone else to this. I am very cautious of bringing my kids anywhere when it is more than just some boogers and a cough. No one wants our germs and we don't want yours either. I think it's part of the Oncology Mom in me that makes me extra careful about this because when Mallory was sick we never left the house. If I ran into anyone that was sick I was darn near bathing myself in hand sanitizer (if you walk into either door in our house we DO have sanitizer on the walls from chemo days). We were very fortunate for her to remain fairly healthy through that period, since she ended chemotherapy unfortunately now she is SICK what feels like all the time. We have dealt with ongoing coughs, colds, bronchitis, ear infections and other sorts of fun stuff like pink eye. Not sure what the deal is but they tell me it has nothing to do with her ending treatment, who really knows. Maybe she would have just been one of those sick kids wiping boogers off her face and smearing it into her hair even if she didn't have cancer treatment. She is however the HAPPIEST sick child, like beaming, and I have been hesitant to bring her in because she really just goes with the flow. Jeremiah 17:14 Heal me, O LORD, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise.
I took the opportunity to CLEAN HOUSE. Which for those of you who are new to my nonsense rants (to be honest I'm fairly new to this and kind of love it) but I HATE laundry, like really think it's the dumbest chore EVER. So I spent Sunday, folding, washing, hanging, repeating for what seemed like all freaking day and now the dungeon is clean. It felt really good to get that out of the way. Someone must have lit a fire under my butt because I even (with the help from my husband) managed to clean our storage room. This room was DANGEROUS. Like nails, screws, pieces of wood, pretty much tetanus brewing and waiting to happen at any moment. This is where we store formula, the girls old clothes, and any miscellaneous junk we have. It too looks like a dungeon. After 6 years living here we still had boxes that we've never opened, so open I did, and I managed to come up with a ton of things to donate. My pile is growing! It is a reminder that we need to really think our purchases through and not just buy things to buy things, sometimes I have a big problem with this just because it's on sale doesn't mean we need it. My husband built us these fabulous shelves and I'm excited to be able to really organize! 
I started a new project that I am geeked about. We have a spice rack that I'm positive we only used a handful of times because it came with a bunch of junky cheap spices that we had never heard of. So this beautiful spice rack has been on our counter collecting dust. I decided that it either needed to go or we needed to use it with our own spices so we opened all the jars, dumped them, soaked them, ripped the labels off and are in the process of redoing them. I'm sure the finished product with be FANTASTIC!
and I joined twitter @fromfreetothree
because I don't have a lot on my plate between my husband, kids, facebook and my blog
