Weekend Whining.....

The weekend is wrapping up, I am sitting here watching Role Model with my dearly beloved and wondering why these headaches won't just go away.....

We had a nice weekend. Truly all our time feels like weekends right now, with Daddy Piper home. We are in a great routine though and don't sit in our jammies until noon anymore (unless your talking about J who stayed in his PJ's until 4 yesterday!!). I sit here trying to recall little things, then I get distracted and check out other blogs and then come back and write more : -) But anyway - I am also easily distracted as I sit here hopped up on migraine meds. I can take them but only when I am not nursing. So no milk for J for 24 hours. I have a dr appt tomorrow to get these checked out again and try some new meds that will allow me to continue nursing and hopefully get rid of the headaches.

So enough rambling. Saturday we did some work around the house and did some coupon shopping at Target - always fun! L picked a hair clip over getting bubbles. It was a hard decision for her. She could only choose one thing (thank goodness for overage!!). In the afternoon, I put J down for a nap and took L & S to an art thing where they made Valentine's Cards for their homeschool group. They were entertained for about 10 minutes and then took off to play with toys. It was fun, for me anyway :- ) Daddy worked on the ceiling in the playroom to get it fixed. It is drying out before we hang new sheetrock. J slept for almost 4 hours. He was awake and ready to eat. Boy he woke up hungry!! We made yummy BBQ pizza from some crust I got for free (coupons!!) and chicken from the other night . A pizza for the family cost a total of 90 cents! I am so addicted to coupon shopping. It is such a wonderful blessing to feed our family and not have that to worry about right now - especially since we have so many other things to worry about. But the pizza was delicious. Dinnertime was filled with Daddy Piper teaching S how to day good in Spanish.

Today was supposed to be church but it didn't happen. I spent most of the day alternating between my head hurting and puking from the pain. Dinner time was the most I was up all day. After getting the kids to bed, I went back down. Now's it 11:45 and I am up again. We were able to eat the yummy sauce I made the other night tonight. It was sauce made from tomatoes in the garden, with garlic bread I got for 49 cents (go coupons!) and free pasta. Including the grapes (99 cents a pound), dinner was around 2 dollars for a family of 5 - WOOHOO! Tonight was the first time J had grapes. I am so afraid of choking. I quartered them and he ate a few dozen and loved them!! Then for dessert after baths we made ice cream shakes. Daddy Piper made some from some fresh strawberries and I made mine with Reece's Peanut Butter Cups and Malt chocolate. J ran from Daddy Piper back to me, getting a bite at each stop. He loved it :-) S chose the strawberry and L chose to have just chocolate. It is such fun doing things like that. Small little treats make such an impression and it's fun to boot :-)
