Friday!

Yay there is some sunshine today!!

We painted our living room last Sunday and the color is called Pollen Grains, which is a harvest yellow color. My living room just glows now. Such warmth! I love how much that color changed the appearance of the room that I am anxious to paint the dinning room. There is alot more work that needs to be done in that room though. We want to strip the paint off of the trim and the corner cupboard so I am going to try to be patient until the weather breaks.

Earlier in the week I did paint and patch holes in our bathroom while Josh was at work. I'm quite impressed with my handy work!

So far today I'm feeling alot better than yesterday. Two full days of meds in does a world of wonders! Brycen is still coughing so I'm religiously following up with his treatments so that we don't end up back at Childrens like we did in November. Brycen was at Children's due to pneumonia. Not fun at all! Arianna started coughing this morning so I started her with breathing treatments and just keeping an eye on her.

Fun times this weekend! Yeah! Hehehe. My father-in-law wants us all to visit him in Ohio. I really don't like going but I go anyways. He works and lives on a boy scout reservation in Northeast Ohio and the home they provided him to live at isn't the most comfortable place. Especially with kids! I'm just lucky that I talked Josh into just going for a day trip. The trip is roughly 2 hrs and I just wish that my FIL would understand that it is easier for him to visit us than for us to go to him. We have to literally pack the house to just visit. Well I shouldn't complain too much because he is actually seeing the kids once a month for the past few months. A huge improvement from the once every three months! The big kicker is that I want to see how the kids do throughout the night as well as myself. I don't want to travel over there if everyone is still not feeling so well. Plus my FIL always makes himself so busy while we are visiting and then he wants to visit when we have to leave. Oh well.

Happy Friday to all and have a safe weekend!

Update...

I'm going to work harder to post more often here. My auction at the Convention Center went really well. It was a few weeks ago and we managed to raise $4,262 for Autism. Definitely not the $8,500 we brought in the year before but it is more than what they had.

I got a call last week to do a local benefit auction here in Butler. I am really excited about this one b/c I will be on my own turf. It is for the Blind Association and I have worked with them in the past and this time I am on my own.

This has been the sickness week from hell here at the Seth Household. Everyone started to get a cold on Monday. Just a slight bout of the sniffles. With today being Thursday, Brycen's has turned into the Croup, Arianna still has just a cold and thank god she got her RSV shot last week for her lungs, Josh still has just a cold, and I went to the doctor today and I have the worse of it all. A sinus infection and bronchitus. Yay for trying to take care of everyone! Fun stuff! So I am still trying to play super mommy and keep the house nice so I can relax in tidiness but as the week goes by it is getting harder to do.

On that note I am going to retreat back to my comfy couch and relax before the kids get up in a half and hour. Take care all!!

W.O.W. Auction this weekend.

I have been invited back to be the auctioneer at the World of Wheels custom car show this weekend at the David L. Lawrence Convention center. I am so excited and honored by the invite! Same as last year we have 8 auctions that are spread throughout the weekend. I'm hoping to beat last years total of $8,500 that goes to the Autism Society of Pittsburgh but I am unsure of that goal. This year we are positioned right behind the motorcycle stunt arena and the auction times follow the motorcycle event so maybe we can grab some of that crowd. Here's hoping and here's to a great weekend of muscle cars, my family, and auctioning for a good cause!!

Caving!

I have an LJ account but it seems like there are more people here so I caved in and now here I am. I haven't updated my LJ in some time and I always felt better when I wrote out how I was feeling. So here's to turning over a new leaf and moving on to feel better!
