Welcome!

To those who find this blog, Thank You for stopping by! My husband, Mr. Vanilla, gave me the idea for the blog title. He always says our life is vanilla, and he likes it that way. Vanilla isn't the most exciting or dramatic flavor, but it is always a good and solid choice that makes you happy, and your day wonderful!

Even with a vanilla life, there are still things that are irritating, and I plan to bring to light those little things that nag at everyone (or at least me), along with the things that make each day great. I Love My Vanilla Life!

Long Week

It may seem like I have been slacking, since I haven't posted all week.  The reality is both girls were sick and at home with me Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.  I love having the girls at home with me, however, sick girls is a different story.  Besides not getting enough sleep Sunday to Monday, since Little Vanilla does not sleep when she is sick, they needed a lot of attention.  We all know getting sick turns us into needy people, but kids just look so pathetic laying on the couch.  I could give them some stuff to ease the issues, but I couldn't make it all go away, which is what I wanted to do.  It was good to see them start to feel better yesterday, and act more like they usually do.  And to get sleep.  We actually gave Little Vanilla some Nite Time stuff, since she is now old enough, and it did help her (and me!) to sleep through the night, which in turn helped her to get better.  Along with the antibiotics the doctor prescribed for each of them.

So today the house is very quiet.  It is a bit strange after not being alone for several days running.  Bobi is here though, and we are going to go shopping.  She isn't too noisy though.  I enjoy my solitude, but I am looking forward to summer, and spending time with the girls.  And doing a road trip with all five of us to Minnesota!  I haven't been back in about 20 years, so it should be fun.

Have a Very Vanilla Day!
