My Spring (and Possibly Summer) Bag

I have a thing for purses. I have a thing for shoes too but I'm addicted to purses, bags, totes, you get the idea. I saw this cute little tote and it screamed Spring,happiness and girly to me. Of course, the fact that it's pink automatically makes it girly but it's just so cute! I LOVE this bag but I almost didn't get it. I was afraid it wouldn't be big enough for the stuff I carry in my bags on a regular basis; it is, though! The big brown truck delivered my bag this evening and I immediately switched my necessities from the black satchel I was carrying to this adorable cutie. A nice thing about the size is that I will be forced to keep it clean and organized. There is no extra room for junk and clutter. My daughters saw the purse and immediately ewwed and awwed. My oldest asked if she can have it when I'm done with it. LOL She knows me well and I told her yes but she'd have to share it with her sister.

Musing Monday's

Musing Monday's is hosted by Rebecca at Just One More Page.

This week, Rebecca asks:

Do you – or are you even able – to do other things while you read? Do you knit, hold a conversation, keep an eye on the TV? Anything?

If I am really into a book then I find any and every opportunity to read it. If I am watching one of the few shows I regualarly tune into on TV - then I read during the commercials. Usually I'm helping my daughter do homework while I make dinner. However, if she is done and otherwise occupied then I will read my book while stirring, sauteeing (not sure if that is a proper word, sorry) or just waiting for water to boil.

I also carry a book with me everywhere I go - without fail - and read it whenever possible. If I'm by myself and arrive early to get my daughter from school, I'll sit in the car and read a few pages. I read in checkout lines, waiting for a teller at the bank or even waiting for coffee at Starbucks. Of course, this is all assuming I'm alone. If my younger child is with me - then forget it. The book stays in my bag because she keeps me constantly hopping; and I wouldn't want it any other way.

Oh, another time I read is when my husband is driving. Now that my daughters like 'reading' their own books or playing in the car - I'm free to read, as well. My husband wants to listen to talk radio so I get to read. He just rolls his eyes at me. Hey, he knew he was marrying a bookworm. I make no apologies for my addiction. LOL

So Sick of Being Sick

With the way this year has started - I am praying the rest of 2010 goes a LOT better! Everyone in my family has been sick as well as many of our relatives. My little girl has an appointment with the Dr. this afternoon because we just aren't getting her well. I went to urgent care yesterday and have a severe ear infection and Bronchitis on the verge of Pneumonia. It's awful and I am just over the illnessess all around. Bring on the drugs - let's get well! )

On a much cuter note - my oldest lost one of her two front teeth yesterday! She's hysterical; making silly faces and sticking her tongue through it. Also, she got $2 from the tooth fairy since it was one of her front teeth. She said, "I thought it would be three dollars for one of those." Oh my gosh - the things these little kids come up with! :) I love it.

One Sick Daughter and Her Toddler Sister

Oh boy, what is my day going to be like? Well, if this is any indication; the sick girl is achy and feverish while the toddler just bit her big sister. Hard. Hard enough to make her sister cry and immediately bruise. So now, both of my girls are crying and peeved. One because she's sick and just got bit. The other because she's in trouble and in timeout for the biting. I love them both dearly but I have a feeling I'm going to have a LONG day.
