busy busy. the past few weeks have been nutty and busy and good lord.
we took a trip to vernal utah to visit the kids's greatgrandma. it was a quick trip, leaving friday morning and geting back sunday afternon. when i woke seamus up at 445am on friday she turned to me and told me to leave her alone because she was sleeping. i then told her we were going to get on the airplane and she jumped right out of bed! both kids were really great on the plane. eric's mom came with us, too, so it was great to have an extra set of hands. originall they gave us seats all in the middle, one right infront of the other. while it was tempting to keep those we did change them so we were all in one row. after we landed in salt lake we had to ride a bus to go get our mini van. everyone loved the bus. and it turned out that everyone loved the mini van. me included. i had been looking into them recently anyway. eric is liking the volvo and doesn't want oto switch, even tho he was a minivan driver when i first met him. the drive to vernal is supposedly only 2.5 hours from salt lake, but it took us 5.5 from the time we got off the plane to when we got to vernal. we went right to vsit greatgrandma and then to our hotel. the whole trip was swo much fun. the kids spent more time outside and at parks then they usually get the chance to and that made everyone happy.
vernal does not believe in vegetables so we had none the whole time we were there. and we went to walmart everyday, sometimes more then once. good lord. but walmart in verbal is 48976123764 times better then walmart in renton.
the trip home was good but tiring. poor eric's mom had a 3 hour drive still but she made it home ok, too.
monday i went to work. tuesday i got up at 345am to catch a 6am flight to SF. i am having some issues when it comes to foot wear. i have gotten a few new pairs of shoes lately. i have tried them on at various times of day, during, before and after various activities and every pair feels fine at the store but then i get them home and they are all too small. what is totally even more lame is that in each instance i even tried on the bigger pair and each time there will be a gap at the back of my heel. so i took 3 pairs of shoes to go to sf. the pair i wore down had caused me issues the last time i had gone but they are now my best fitting, least high heeled pair, but i totally slipped and almost fell in the airport. so, i got to sf and to my hotel and thankfully they let me check in at 830am. i changed into some less dangerous shoes but man i felt frumpy. with this new hairdu and recent 43 pounds i did not want to feel frumpy when i might be running into former co-workers. so i went right to nordtrom. it doesn't open untl 930 so i had to sit there. finally it opened. there are tons of cute shoes in the world but my toenails are totaly fuct so i can't get any open toed anything. i really didn't want to buy yet another pair of plain back high heels but i did rationailze that the pair i do have don't fit and the heel is to high. so i got a pair. i opted to not get the jessica simpson brand and got the even cheaper ones. those felt fine. wore them right ouit of the store and all over sf and to the conference. until day 2. does it really matter any more about my shoes?
ok, so my favorite part of the conference was standing in line at riteaide getting some bandaides for my fuct toes ad there was an older guy al business like right infront of ne, with an 18 pack of budwiser cans. at 9am. that and somehow i managed to go to starbucks 3 times each day. i met some of my coworkers who i totally dig, and i went to dinner with allie and luan which was fun despite the foirgra. we had steak tarter. there is more to all of that story.

totally inappropriate
so eric and i had THE most inapropriate conversation the other day. sirus went to the doctors because we thot he had the pox. when you take the kids with the threat of the pox they don't let you in. i have heard at other doctors that they sneak in through the back door. but no, at our doctors they make you stay in the car and they come to you. so, eric was telling me how the doctor ws one he hadn't seen before and how the doctor was like, dude, what am i doing in this weird dude's car. i suspected that i had maybe seen this doctor myself one time and started asking eric about him. i then started the story about the time i saw him. after seamus was born i had a lot of issues with clogged ducts. this was terrible. it was painful and it burned and it was weird and itchy and aweful. so i went to the doctor. this doctor was just like hmph. and started checking stuff out. rubbing and pushing and just trying to see if there was something wrong. he then went on to tell me how he really hadn't dealt with this issue and he wanted to check with my normal doctor who was in the office but just didnt have an open appointment. so let me tell you about my doctor. she is now seamus and sirus's doctor but she is tall, blonde and really pretty. when i asked eric if he would ever go to see her for medical issues he said no way, are you crazy? so, she comes in and she is pushing and rubbing and doing all the same stuff that the first doctor did. i did n't think anything of this until eric and my totally inappropriate conversation in which i realized that the male doctor was there the entire time, probably planned it and was totally digging the girl on girl action. good lord. whatever.

ninja warrior
seamus has a new favorite TV show. she loooooves to watch ninja warrior, ya know, that crazy japanese show where the people try to complete the crazy obsticle course without touching the water. she sits there watching and gives commentary the whole time, whooping it up when the people land in the "yucky water".
sirus has a tail!!!
at least that is what seamus told daddy while she watched him change sirus's diaper... she was pretty convinced it was a tail.
so, something really gross happened friday morning. i have been sick and have had a lot of gross nasties in my lungs and throat. friday morning i was coughing and a total CHUNK of gooo flew out. i could pick it up off the floor with my fingers, it was that gooey.
dude, how have i managed t gain 40 pounds since i started my new job? i thot maybe i would get the freshman 15, but 40? in 3 weeks?
those jeans that were so rediculous don't fit. well, they might but i don't want to try. buut, friday was funny because i had some rediculous jeans on all day. i had a migraine but we had plans to see the easter bunny. so i had to take action if i was going to make it through. so, luckily i had some extra jeans at work. so i changed into those right before we left. but this left me with the too tight jeans at work. which i wore today. there was some serious muffin top going on today, let me tell you.
we did get the easter bunny photos and they are very cute. except seamus looks sad, but that is expected since she had to be bribed to like the easter bunny with chocolate and eric is creeping up at us from the bushes in the back and sirus is sitting on my shirt pulling the neckline so far down that it was almost no family friendly.

ooh, beaches is on
yes, that is what eric just said. folled by, oh, there is full house.
today was fun in the cold. we helped out with the mtn bike race in capitol forest. i am totally sick so that was a bit rough, but it was fun. when i got this morning i was totally hacking stuff up while drving to the gas station. it got all hacked up, i rolled down the window to spit it out, and i totally didn't make it out the window. it dripped all down my chin and then all over the side of the inside of the car and rested on the arm rest. whatever. of course i had nothing to whipe it up with so i waited until i got to the gas station only to discover that the major globber had rolled off the arm rest and down the rest of the door. grody. that is the real reason it is unlady like to spit.
those kids are so funny, i will leave it at that for now. oh, but we did take them to see the easter bunny on friday and much to my dismay it turned into the family portrait with the easter bunny.... he gave seamus some lego like block and she took them out of the packaging and re-created the structure they had on the packaging. granted it wasn't complicated, but she is only 3, and there were probably 7 or 8 blocks to it. we were all impressed with that. sirus, too is totally picking up on things these days. all of a sudden everything has started to click and he has been picking up so many words. we have all kinds of puzzles and he can do all of them. its like a ligth went on in his head and he started to get it. so cute.
friday i rode my bike and bussed into work. a nice guy at the bus stop helped me put the bike on the bike rack since i had no idea how to do it. i am sick and won't do the run or bike and bus tomorrow, although i would like to. but i jsut am too sick.
