I'm irritated

My kids are driving me crazy. Phoenix decided that 5am was a good time to be up... until 7am when I asked jeff if he thought Phoenix would shut up if he knew how perilously close to being chucked out the window he was.

I had 4 of Madeline's school mates and their moms over for a playdate today. It went... okay. Maddy was a bit whiney and would rather have sat and ate muffins, popcorn and raisens than play with her friends. That was a tad annoying. And then she'd whine that they didn't want to play with her. That was really annoying.

The reason I am so irritated is because of non napping Phoenix. He slept for about 40 minutes (less?) before Maddy and her friends woke him up. He was really tired around 4:45 so I went to nurse him down for a nap. Of course that is when the girls CRANK the tv and start jumping up and down and YELLING at one another. I damn near lost it. I stormed into the living room and told them both to get into their rooms. Of course by then Phoenix is wide awake and is still not sleeping...

Loki is still doing well. He's had some accidents but he IS a puppy after all. He's a bit nippier with the girls currently but if they'd LISTEN to me and STOP RUNNING IN THE HOUSE Loki wouldn't feel the need to herd them!

Well dinner is ready so I should sign off. Oven roasted organic whole chicken and roasted califlower and brocolli. Yummo!

What a day

We have our puppy :) Loki is currently sleeping in his crate. We brought him home at around 2:30 and 9 hours later he has yet to pee or poop in the house. He's peed a couple of times outside as well as pooped. He's already a little watch dog ;) He barks when people come over or when he's scared. It's hilarious! He's smart and usually comes when he's called. We'll have our work cut out teaching him not to nip heels though... being a herding dog and all ;)

I had a craptacular afternoon. Robyn and the kids had just come over for some puppy love with I got massively dizzy and felt like I was going to black out. Then I got really nauseaus. I got Jeff to take me to the er. I was thinking blood clot? But yah. They have no idea what is wrong but apparently the waiting room and er rooms were full of people that were feeling dizzy... apparently it's either the tail end of the flu or beginning of the flu... or vertigo for no apparent reason. My guess? Panic attack. Big huge motherfucking panic attack. Sigh.

Jeff just talked the baby to sleep. I nursed him but he would not settle and since I'm feeling yucky jeff took over. I love him.

Oh yah... Loki is named as such because the Norse God of mischief and fire is Loki. Fitting name for a corgi ;)
