I feel so accomplished today! I got up and the boys went to the farm with Bill. Cole worked and Brody went to Grandma Bevs. I went and picked up Carla and we headed to Quincy. I had met with one of our contractors yesterday and got a TON of things listed that I could go ahead and buy, so he and Bill can get to work on the house in their free time. He's already got the new walk in garage door put on and the basement door put up. It looks so nice! It's weird seeing a door at the bottom of the basement stairs!
I am putting up some motion lights on the side of the house and out the back patio. I found them on sale last night in the Menards ad, they were less than 2 for the price of one so I bought 2 sets. I also picked out my counter top, but the lady was too busy assisting someone else for 20 minutes to pay me any attention, so I just took the sample, and left. I will call and pre order it tomorrow. I also bought the new light fixtures for the kitchen, dining room, and hallways.
I went to Home Depot and got all the receptacles and light switches for the whole house to be replaced. I also got all the face plates too! I checked out the flooring for the bathroom at HD and found about 3 things I would be happy with. The bathroom is such a tiny area it will be cheap!
I went and checked out the Ashley furniture sale. They had a 14 piece living room sale. I got a couch, love seat, coffee table, 2 end tables, 2 lamps, an area rug, a throw blanket, and 5 piece accessory set that consisted of 2 vases, a picture frame, and 2 bowls. I am excited to mark that off my to do list. I am also happy about the stuff I picked out. It's not super expensive and it seems to be decent enough quality to get us by for a few years until we can save and buy something more expensive. Right now the boys are so young I hate to buy anything too fancy. Too many accidents. I got all this stuff for $999. I didn't think that was too shabby???!!!
I have been soooo nauseous. If I didn't know better I'd think I was pregnant. It is such a daunting feeling. I just feel like I could puke at any second. I do have some lemon drops that seem to help some, but still, it's gross. I hope this passes soon. I am trying to drink and drink Gatorade and keep hydrated. I hope this goes away. I was wondering if it had to do with wearing jeans? I got that way the other night going to the new house meeting with Jamie. I wonder if It's having such a confining waist? I have been in sweats here at home every day.
I met a wonderful woman off of my Peoria Weight loss group message board right before my surgery. Her name is Kristi. She's such a sweet lady. She has been super kind to me and such a supportive person. She had the lap band put in a few days after my surgery. We're kinda taking this road together. It makes it kinda nice to have someone to gripe to when I don't feel well! It's also neat to run food choices off of someone too!
I also have Brenda she had her surgery on the 7th. Mine was on the 4th. She is going to go with me to my support group meeting on Thursday. I will be so happy to have someone to talk to for that hour drive! I wish Macomb still had a support group! That would be nice. Closer and more convenient, but maybe Galesburg is the best place cause it's quite a large group. Last time there were about 15 there. I'm excited to go back. I didn't get to go in Feb cause of surgery, but come to find out they cancelled anyhow because of the snowstorm! Guess I didn't miss anything.
Bill has been working hard with the cattle. He is so tired, but it's calving time, so he's been having to get back out each night to check on them. Sometimes when he gets a night off and his dad checks them, he still gets called to come assist if there's trouble. You can tell by the bags under his eyes he's about spent. He needs a nap or two also! Maybe he needs to slip home and join Brody and I a few days!
I cooked the guys tacos for supper. Coles been wanting them soooo bad! I made myself a taco for supper. I put a little lettuce, cheese, meat and a dollop of fat free sour cream on there. I also had some red cactus salsa, which is super sweet, not spicy and it was soooo yummy! I was only able to get down 4 bites, but they were amazing! Cole had to finish my taco for me. He ate 2 all on his own and then finished mine! He loves taco night. So does Bill. I made Brody some lettuce and put meat, cheese , sour cream and salsa on it and he ate the entire plate full and the tortilla off the end of my taco! I ripped the extra tortilla off of mine and dug right into the good part. I figure if I am only going to get a few bites, I wanted them to be the good stuff! Brody enjoyed supper so much. He didn't waste any that's for sure!
Cole is a lucky little turd. Daddy bought him a new pair of insulated rubber work boots today! He came home and was so proud. He says to me "did you poop your pants mom?" and I said "ummm no, why?" and he says "daddy said you would poop your pants when you saw my new boots, they were expensive mom!" and I burst out laughing. As soon as Bill walked in the door Cole says to him "she didn't poop her pants dad!" ha ha ha. Bill started laughing! He looks so darned cute in them boots. They come up almost to his knees. It's the cutest thing. They are mini replicas of Bill's boots. They are Twinkies.
I better get some sleep. I am so wore out from today, but so excited that I got stuff bought and we can get started on a few things until the plaster contractors get here. The more we do now, the less we have to worry about later before we move in!
