~Count Down Begins and Sickies Again??~

Well, the count down to this weekend begins.

I figure I have two days of work to get through and then I can finally have some relaxing time off... And Away.  Wine and Roses, here we come!!

I also get to my hair done on Friday too.  Finally!!  It is so heavy and has grown so much that I can't do anything with it and my roots have grown out so much that they are at least an inch dark!!  My purple has faded so much too that it just needs to be covered.  I can't do anything else too over the top because I'm afraid that it won't be gone in time for the Wedding that I'll be in at the end of November.

Now that wedding is a story for another time... lol.

Anyways.

Rowan woke up Barking like a Seal again today.  Actually, she woke up around 2am like that.  She sounded horrible.  I brought her to my bed and you could just hear the tighteness in her throat.  So, when I let the dog out to pee, I took her out there with me and told her to take some deep breaths.  I am not sure if it helped or not, but she was able to go back to sleep.

This morning was a tough one in the Pickle Jar.  Rowan woke up in a bad mood and barking.  Then she didn't want to wear Jeans to school and proceeded to just cry and complain.  So, in the end, she didn't go to school.

Yep.  We kept her home.  For one, she is sick and two, well, because she was refusing to wear what we wanted her to.  So, my mom- the wonderful lady that she is- sat Rowan down and talked to her.  She told Rowan that she will be wearing pants from now on to school unless it is warm enough for her to wear a skirt or dress.  My mom asked her if she understood and she said Yes.  My mom said that she'd be asking her through out the day some more and reminding her, so that when Friday comes around there will be no fighting.

Ugh, Kids.  How can a three and a half year old be so difficult to live with????

Speaking of clothes.

My mom and I went to Target yesterday and I picked up some clothes for my kiddies.  I swear, I got Rowan so many clothes for like $60!!  Pants, shirts, sweats and a really pretty sweater!  I can't believe the deals that you get at Target, really.  There clothes are pretty inexpensive and good quality.  My child is pretty tough on her clothes... So Target clothes are just perfect for her!

I also picked up some clothes for Mr. Zachary.  Onesies and pants that match... Some full body sleepers and then some sweats and matching sweat shirts.  Oh yes, and some socks too!  Funny thing is is how many different sizes of clothes I had to purchase.  In the Target brand, Circo, I was able to get him 6-9 months or 9-12 month clothes.  But in the sweats from Hanes, I had to purchase him size 12 months!  I couldn't believe it.  Their 9 month size was only for 16-17lbs!!  Can you believe that? 

After Target, my mom and I stopped at El Pollo Loco for dinner.  It was very yummy.  I had a Chicken Tostada Salad and my mom had their new Fiesta Pollo Salad, while Rowan had a Quesadilla.  Yum Yum!!  It was a little spicy, but oh so tasty!

Time to light the fire under my butt... Many a thing to do today...

I hope everyone has a wonderful "Hump Day"!!
