$550.oo! There was something wrong with the radiator cap which caused it to leak fluid onto the coil and ruin it. What ever that means. Whatever, it is fixed. Travis and I had to share his car for the past 2 days so luckily he had planned to be in town and not an hour or more away since I had to take him and pick him up since I had to have the car to get Mykenzie from school. That was not alot of fun so I am glad it is fixed and it is done. Lets hope we can get through the next year with no car problems! I want to get rid of this thing and I need to keep it for another year and soooo don't want to dump any more money into it. It has now been well over $2000 in 9 months.
No word on the electricity for now. He plans on messing with it tomorrow, so hopefully that is an easy fix so we don't have to drop alot on that too.
I took Kaylee into the doctor today for nothing apparently. She started crying and holding her neck yesterday and continued doing it today. Well it felt swolen and she recently had a high fever (well like a week and a half ago) so I thought it was best to have her checked out because she has also been soooo whiny and clingy this past week and a half/two weeks. Well there is nothing wrong with her other than she strained her neck and has a knot in it. The doctor turned her head to one side and she was fine and when he turned it to the other she immediatley started crying. He asked her if it hurt and she cried noooo. So that was a YES! So that doesn't help me on the whinyness and the not sleeping but at least now I know there is nothing wrong.
I jinxed myself by saying numerous times how well my dog has been about going potty. She has only had 1 accident in the past few weeks. Well for two days in a row now she has peed in her cage! Stupid Brat. I guess I don't have to worry about her starting that again when she is in a kennel while we are on vaction cause she is already doing it! GRRRR drive me nuts!
That about sums up the past 2 days here. Now I am going to go watch a movie and go to sleep!

The Malfunction Indicator Light
"When the engine is running, the 'Malfunction Indicator Light' may flash to alert of serious conditions that could lead to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. The vehicle should be serviced as soon as possible if this occurs."
Guess what, that is what happened to my car today. Doesn't it sound splended. I have to drop it off in the morning to see what the hell the problem is. I really should have rolled this thing off a cliff a long time ago. I soooo want to get rid of it but I never will if I have to keep dumping money into it! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Kaylee has been a terror today! I don't know what this childs problem is that she can't seem to sleep past 5 am but it is really really old. Then she would not take a nap today so other than the 5 minutes she slept in the car that was it. It is now 6:40 and she is playing and being good for the 1st time all day. She thought she was going to fall asleep at 5:20 though. I woke her little butt right up and threw her in the shower. Homey don't play that crap!
Another thing for me to bitch about is the fact that I have NO power in Mykenzie's room and the ouside walls of her room also have no power. Which is especially lovely since she is afraid of the dark and can not have a night light now. Travis has to work all week so the weekend he gets to try and figure out if he can fix it or if it will require an electrician. It would be soooo nice to live in Ohio during times like these since I have a father in law mechanic and my best friends hubby is an electrician! Geeze!
On a good note, it was BEAUTIFUL here today! I am talking 73 degrees!!! Of course I was in a bad mood dealing with stupid crap so I didnt enjoy it like I wanted to. Hopefully we have a couple more days like that this week. Or better yet it stays that way.

Wow
It has been a long time since I have blogged. I guess I really haven't been spending much time at all online. I am not sure what I have been doing in place of it but something is keeping me busy. We went the other night and signed Mykenzie up for cheerleading. I hope she likes it. It is a 12 week class that meets on tuesdays. She is excited but nervous too.
Kaylee has been super whiny this week and driving me nuts but she is doing some pretty funny things too. Now when she poops in her diaper she will come and tell you that she is "not fresh" LOL I have no idea where she got that from. I got a new vacuum for Valentines Day (a Dyson), well technically it is for valentines day, mothers day and my bday! lol I was messing with it yesterday and the handle comes out and is a wand to do steps and whatever. Well Kaylee sees me take it out and comes running over and tells me "Mommy, your amazing!" and gave me a big hug. LOL She is too funny sometimes. She has also learned how to open doors that have covers on them that are supposed to prevent that from happening! Mykenzie didn't learn how to do that till she was 4!!! So now my pantry has become free game and she is constantly in it getting into food! You would think I starve her. UGG
Our trip to Disney world is coming up really quickly we leave in 1 month from today. I am so not prepared for it at all. I have a feeling we are all gonna need clothes but I am unsure of what to expect the weather to be so I don't know what we need. We all sooooo need a vacation though so we will be VERY ready by the time it gets here. The drive will suck I am sure though.
I have started scrapbooking again. I have come to the conclusion that I totally suck at it! I do not have the creativity for it. I am blaming it on the fact that I don't have enough stuff though! lol I have done a few pages but none of them thrill me, but they are good enough and definatley better than that box they were sitting in. I decided to start with Kaylee's birth and go from there and then go back and finish the inbetween stuff which is about a year. I haven't scrapped since Mykenzie turned 3 and she will be 7 in June. So much has changed since I stopped doing it, and it is way more advanced now with alot more techniques and embelishments and so on. I have alot of learning to do that is for sure. I am hoping to get to hang out with rachel for a day or two during our next Ohio trip and get to scrapbook with her and her mom so they can teach me a thing or five, they are way better than I will be ever I am sure. Rachel will be a huge preggo by then! Yay! She recently found out she is expecting her 3rd little one, already has 2 boys and we are crossing everything that it is a little girl this time around. No matter what it will be one lucky baby.
That is about all I can think up to write about for now. Hope everyone is doing great out there :)

SNOW!
Yesterday school was cancelled due to snow but their was just a very light dusting on the ground but today we woke up to another day of no school and more snow. We could still see the tops of our grass through it but it was enough to play in. So Kaylee got to have her 1st experience with snow. She was not into the snow covering her shoes so she cried about that for a few minutes. And she didn't want to wear her mittens so she took them off. Her poor hands were bright red and she started crying cause they hurt and saying "can you help me mommy." I warmed them up as best as I could with my own hands (out of my wet gloves) and then told her if she didn't wear her mittens she had to go inside. So it lasted about another 7 minutes and she had them and her hat off again so she and I came inside and Kenzie played for about 10 more minutes before she decided she had enough. Now they are warmed up and drinking hot chocolate. Now we have to get ready to go to the store cause I have some errands that need ran. Joy! Here is a link to a few more pictures of our snow day :)
