5 Years!

Skylar and I celebrated our 5th Anniversary on the 10th! These past 5 years have really gone by fast. I guess having three kids does that... We weren't able to go out on our anniversary this year because Skylar worked! I actually haven't seen him for more than a few hours the last seven days. Its okay because we have Eternity together. He was able to get home early enough yesterday to take me to Logan's Roadhouse for dinner. We love that place because its very similar to Texas Roadhouse but without all the people, so no waiting!
It was kind of an interesting day, yesterday...it started out like this:
Slade ran into my room yelling, "Mom! Mom! Daisy is doing something!!"
I, was still asleep! The kids usually come into my room when they wake up (6:30am). Not this morning. I hadn't even heard them out there!
I jumped out of bed and asked, "What?! What is she doing Slade?"
"She peed on the counter!" Is what he told me.
So I run out to the kitchen and I find that the TV was on, the computer was on and Slade was playing games on pbskids.org. Daisy was sitting on the counter and had peed! I also saw that she was holding some medications in her hands. We have our medicine in a cabinet in the kitchen, up high, away from kids, so we thought. She was holding a wrapper from a cough drop and had little tin foil pieces next to her. I realized she was holding adult Benadryl tablets so I asked her if she ate one and she said, "Yeah, I don't like it!" Oh my heck! So then Slade tells me that she ate a cough drop too. She said it was yucky. I throw her in the shower because of the pee. (Shower #1) I then call Skylar, who was at work, and asked him if he thought I needed to take her in because of the medicine she ate. He told me to call Poison Control, so I did and the nice lady reassured me that the amount she ate was not toxic to her. At this point, Daisy was laying on the couch, falling asleep! The lady told me to check on her every 15 minutes and to tickle her foot to make sure she can still move. What?! So, I did. She slept for 2 1/2 hours and woke up a happy little girl.
Funny thing, while she was sleeping, I was able to clean pretty much my whole house. Maylee takes good naps and Slade entertains himself very well, so I took advantage of that!
I was showering and I turn around to find Daisy in there with me! I didn't hear her! (Shower #2)
Skylar had called while I was finishing up my hair, so I ran to get the phone in the kitchen. Just a few minutes later I hear Daisy calling me from her bathroom needing help. She is now potty-trained but requires help sometimes. I go in there to find her on the toilet, but she has big globs of some kind of white substance in her hair and she had it streaked all over her. I touched it with caution, not knowing what it was, but I could smell it and realized it was my pomade!! (Shower #3)
With all of the showers Daisy had, the cleaning and the running around getting kids ready, I was exhausted while sitting in the car on the way to my parents house to drop off the kids. My back hurt and my eyes were a little droopy and I was trying not to fall asleep. I looked over at Skylar and saw that he looked the same as how I felt. He had been working non-stop for a week doing a side job and his regular job. Maylee was screaming and the other two were being just as loud. I started laughing to myself. Here we are, only being married 5 years with three kids and just plain exhausted from life at this moment. Its funny how fast life seems to flash by. Its those moments that make me realize how truly grateful I am for Skylar and his willingness to show his appreciation to me.
I have really enjoyed the past 5 years of my life. Skylar has brought me so much happiness. We enjoy laughing with each other over silly things and I am happy I chose him to grow old with.
Can't wait to see what the next 5 years has in store for us!
