Adventures in Babysitting

Ok well maybe not adventures, but I did babysit tonight. Kailee LOVED it because her friend Jade and Diego came. I would steal Jade in a heartbeat. She is the sweetest little 7 year old I have ever met. And, so polite and helpful. And did I mention that Justin LOVES her? He loves Jade and follows her and Kailee everywhere. I made them some dinner and then we baked. Every one calls me the baker here which is funny because I never really baked in Texas. I guess I just picked it up once getting here. Kailee loves helping and JP too so it's kind of a cool thing to do w them. I don't eat the treats I bake, but the kids get to and Paul as well. Tonight we made cake cookies. Probably the easiest recipe ever. And boy were they good. Yeah yeah I know I just said I don't eat what I bake but after the day I've had I did. So Kailee, Jade and Diego made the cookies. They each had so much fun rolling the dough into balls and then putting cool whip and sprinkles on top. Haha I am so bad for giving Jade and Diego cookies on a school night. They loved it so that's all that matters. I was surprised because they mentioned that they are never allowed to help their mom cook. Kind of like really. I mean at 5 and 7 I figured they would help all the time. Kailee's been helping my mom and I cook for years now. JP for quite a while too. So after I stuffed their faces with cookies they went into Kailee's room watched a movie and fell asleep. Justin fell asleep too and Kailee's still wide awake to this point. She's actually jamming out and shaking her booty as I type. I really need to get her into dance....

UGH just when I thought the day could not get any worse. It just did. Apparently my grandpa is back in the hospital with pneumonia and more heart complications. He's been in and out of the hospital every month it seems and now it's like he has given up. I hate to hear all the complications he's going through. It's like every time there is a ray of sunshine he ends up back in the hospital. It doesn't help that I am in AZ and he's in Fl, so that if things got real bad I could just be there ya know. No we are not close. Not close by any means, but he's still my grandpa. I feel especially bad for my dad. They don't have the best relationship, but I know he loves him and it's his dad after all. It has to be emotionally draining hearing he's better, he's back in, he's good, he's back in every month. So all the crap I'm going through is nothing compared to this. I'm asking for prayers from anyone willing to give them. Prayers for recovery and comfort for my grandpa, and mending and healing for my dad and him. My mind is all jumbled right now. Be back later I'm sure.

Holly Cow!

It's almost 11:00 and both of my kids are still sleeping. This is so not a good thing. It means another day of them not napping and me trying to catch them up on sleep. Every since we went to that party and the kids were up til 11:30 I have not been able to get them back to their normal schedules. I have to do something because this is not healthy...
