Hello all! Sorry it's been a while since my last post...I've been sick with a cold, which I tried ever so hard to not pass on to my kiddos, but of course it happened anyway. As I write this post, I'm listening to little man periodically sniffling over the baby monitor in his room. Poor little boy...I feel really guilty that I'm the one who got him sick, but kids get sick all the time anyway and to be fair I tried really hard to keep my germs away from him. Unfortunately, baby girl woke up super stuffy this morning, so this bug is truly making its rounds in our family. This is the first time she's ever been sick with anything, so it's a little nerve-wracking, but it could be worse...just kinda sucks that I really can't do anything for her except try to keep her as happy and hydrated as possible. Oh, and use the little bulb thing to suck the snot out of her tiny nose...cause that's just super fun for everyone involved. I'll just be happy when everyone's back to being healthy and I'm really hoping hubby doesn't catch it too...not that he's too bad to deal with when he's sick, he actually trucks on like nothings wrong with him. Most times you can't even really tell he's sick except that his voice sounds a little stuffy and he blows his nose more. I'm actually pretty lucky in that regard...he's not one to fall victim to the "man cold", you know, that thing that happens as soon as a man gets even a hint of the sniffles and suddenly turns into a snivelling man-child who acts like he can't even eat or go to the bathroom by himself. So glad he's not like that! Seriously, in the whole time we've been together I've only had to take care of him about 3 times...that averages out to about once every 2.5 years or so, not too bad.
So Meatless Monday is actually still working out (so far)...this week it was meatless chili with rice. Since my mom's chili includes beans, it was pretty much just rice and seasoned beans, still pretty good though and a lot more filling than I would have thought. I served myself what I normally would for chili except with the rice (which I usually wouldn't eat with it), totally forgetting that rice swells up once you eat it...I couldn't finish it all, but it was tasty regardless. I'm not sure what we'll do for next month's Mondays...I haven't gotten around to making a mealplan for next month. Normally, I would have already had it done and printed out by now, but with everyone being sick and out of town company stopping by, it just hasn't happened yet. Maybe this weekend.
I went to a hair coloring party at a friend's house last night...I now have purple chunks in my hair. It's mostly in my bangs, but there are a few streaks in the back and sides, I just can't see them lol. I'm really digging it, just wish the purple were a bit more vibrant...even in my red hair, the effect is actually quite subtle ( i know, weird, considering it's purple!). I may try going back over it in a more vibrant shade of purple in about a week or so, kinda give my hair a chance to relax a bit before re-processing it. I'm thinking about doing it in a different color once the purple grows out, maybe a green or blue, and keeping that up for a while...kinda using it to help my son with his colors. He was already in bed last night when I did it, so he didn't see it till I woke him up this morning, but he noticed right away and liked it. As soon as he saw it, he said "Mommy has purple hair!"...it was super cute! Anyway, I guess that's about all for now...Until next time!
