Rambles from The Llama

Turn back while you can... 

So... being the bad blogger that I am, I did not plan well. I had every intention of posting a Golden Vlog today. That didn't work because for whatever reason after filming three times. Yes, you read that correctly... THREE TIMES... the sound wasn't working on my webcam. The first half of my video(s) could be heard, but after question 5 everything faded into the abyss. I really have no clue what happened. But, I highly suggest heading over to the co-hosts pages and check out the other awesome videos! (I'll wait).

When the vlog didn't work for me, plan B was to link up with Kenji for her workout Wednesday. Mamas Tell All is on Wednesdays, so Kenji already expected a late post from me if I linked up. Sad news about that, I couldn't think of a damn thing to say about my working out. Nothing I felt like y'all wanted to read anyway.

So obviously instead of y'all not wanting to read rambles about me working out. You're going to not want to read rambles about literally everything else. I've gotta keep up with my blog name. Right? Right.

|| I'm panicking a lot. Pre-K has graduations. Graduations, y'all with caps and gowns and everything. On May 6 my OLDEST KID graduates PRE-K! When did this happen and how do I make it stop?

Make it stop! 

|| Something closer than May 6 is April 21. This is Zander's first real eye doctor appointment. When we went to his 5 year old well check back in February, the doctor and nurses said his vision was less than perfect. This wasn't much of a surprise considering I'm a four-eyes myself. BUT I didn't really think my kids would need eye doctor appointments as early as FIVE YEARS OLD. Sheesh. We'll know something then, and of course I'll fill y'all in.

|| Gardening Tips. I need them. I need to save money at the store and just grow my own food. I have the perfect area in my back yard for gardening. I can keep the flowers up front. I just really have no clue where to start.

|| Along the lines of saving money. Who knows anything about chickens? I legit have a HUGE chicken coop in my backyard too. I've been toying with the idea of getting chickens to have fresh eggs. Am I completely losing my mind here? Who knows how expensive or difficult it would be to raise chickens? (And would the dog leave them alone?)

|| I've been really bad at blogging this week. I feel like anyways. But I'm not sorry about it because I've had lots of time with my kids. Zander is on spring break, and it's been wonderful. Except maybe for yesterday when we had a bit of a meltdown. I think that was like a global kid meltdown day or something though because Faith's kids that she nanny's were hellish too. Per snapchat. But I promise to do better next week!

|| I'm not even a little bit sorry for the amount of Llama gifs that I have in this post.
So that's what's on my mind lately. Tomorrow one of my besties is picking up me and the kids to go play at her house. I'm just a lot excited. So Brandi... if you're reading this, even though we'll text a million times during the day... I might be counting down the hours! haha. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. As Kerri says, Fri-Yay!
last one I promise!

  1. Sorry about Zander! My sister's pediatrician told her to take my niece to the eye doctor every year once they turn one... I had never heard of that! I don't remember going until I was much older! Have fun on your play date!

  2. here they do vision and hearing tests starting at the 4 year old well checks but it's just a basic one in the doctor. "what shapes do you see/ what's the lowest lines of shapes you can see?" hearing test is "tell us when you hear the beep". last year @ 4 his vision and hearing were great but this year he could not see the bottom two lines of the chart making his vision 20/40 soo he got a referral to the eye doc. my first visit was third grade when I said I couldn't see. lol it's been a downhill battle ever since
