Lots of changes

Surgery is coming soon. Now need help from others. Let us see if any one is willing to help.

Jason and Jen got a house. Great home. I do want the floors.

Got hosed on my x-mas due to storms and a hubby. Still trying to simmer down from that one.

Now I am off of work til next year. Let is hope I get a day off prior to my slice and dice.

Nice.

So spent the whole waking day at the SIL's house cooking dinner. Joy! Came home and went strait to bed. Got woken up by Keith and Wy when they got home for we drove sep. Also found out recently that I will be having surgery. Hope this solves my issues.

Alive?

Well today was the first day I could joke around and felt a bit better. Still not good enough to go out with the children but what can you do. I rested as Keith made the rounds with the children. Still getting massive headaches and pain in chest. Hope it goes away soon.

Hope all who can get the H1N1 Vaccine will. I lost a week of my live I will never get back. And my christmas time off. UGH... The one thing that I look forward to.

Also started thinking. One of the worst times of the year is coming up. My date of birth. I know a b-day is something that is usually celebrated. No it is not due to my age. So what yeah we all get older. It is due to the fact every birthday I have ever had is sad in many ways. From it being snow storms that have prevented people from coming, deer hunting, or parental fighting. Every year some major event saddens the day. I mean every year. Even with low expectations. I know I am an adult and I should not care. But I do sadly. Even on the milestone years for b-days I have missed out majorly. Like 21st. Only one old enough to drink. It was a few friends playing cards at my apartment. *sigh* I know self-pitty.

I just hope my children are able to avoid the curse.

Also trying to figure out if I even want to throw the holiday party. I am just getting so burned out. Wondering why I even try on things like that.

Oh well I should rest so I can attempt to re-enter the wonderful world of work on monday.

Swine flu boo!

So day care has been closed since wed. Wyatt and I started our fevers on Thursday. Mine broke last night. And Wy's may of broke today. If this is the case back to daycare on monday...... if they are open. This whole illness has been odd. The fact I got a fever even is odd. I am the one who always gets an illness but never the fever. Oh well.

Had to cancel the kid pics. And now broke due to buying all sicky foods.

Nothing else has been going on as of late.

Progress

In the last few weeks I finished two quilts. The new owner loves them. So funny to hear a 5 mo old is attached to them already.

The ENT now thinks that my tonsils are the cause of all my problems. I am on a heavy duty anti-biotic for 21 days. They may need to be removed soon.

Thinking of selling quilts on Etsy.

ECFC classes are going great. Emma had her first real gut busting fit of laughter.

Been so busy grading/working.... must make it to december when I am taking some time off.

Feeling Numb..

So went to the ENT again. Now I am on pain killer that is not really working. I go back on wed.

Started back to work. First day back, layoffs! Otherwise first week back was ok. Excluding the OT drama.

Had a great time at Mike and Sarah's wedding. Met some new people. I hope that they do become friends.

Have made a new friend with an old tie. It is great for her child is about the same age.

Starting an ECFC class with Emma soon.

The house is 3/4th red. Starting to look better.

Goals

Ok to they are tasks/items I want to accomplish.

Pay off Credit card
Move to Out of Blaine and avoid the communities of Anoka and Coon Rapids
Purchase my mini-van or Suv
Attempt a math course
Get the children potty trained
Get an adult trike
bike to a state park with the trike
Remain gainfully employed
have another child

Worst annv. ever...

Yep. That sums it up. Was sick. Had too many things to do. Went out to dinner. Came home. That was all. No flowers or gift from the hub. Not like I expect the moon. But even a rose. Hell got more from the step-mom (a card). I have a feeling the shit is going to hit the fan soon.

Also been having to wake up with the kids on my off nights. I know I am a parent but I need sleep too.

That is about all.

Come on now!

So this weekend we had the option of going to the in-laws cabin. Left it up to Keith. He said we should stay home. Ok. Then at the last min. he decides we should go up. FINE! So we did. The s.o.b had the bright idea that he should tell me what way to take. Wrong thing to do for he had some other pre-conceived ideas that I was going to ditch him for Grand Rapids at some time, so there for we did not need to go thru it. Lots of road construction, single lane roads with grandpas, and Keith..... I became angry very fast. I dropped the Grand Rapids thing. Keith asked if I was mad, and if I was going to be mad about it all weekend. Told him to drop it and all will be fine. Then very close to hwy. 2 he decided to drive the 11 miles to Grand Rapids. A bit self-serving for he wanted food and beer... hummm....

So the cabin was a bit boring. The weather sucked. Keith ditched me and the kids to go fishing. Ended up taking care of the kids with rare assistance from others. Tried to take a bath. That got interrupted by a family friend needing something from the bathroom, NOW! Then on my night off from kid duty. I ended up taking care of Emma. Waking up with the shits. Then being awoken by a toddler at 8. Joy! Keith went fishing and I dealt with children. Also did laundry. Dan could tell I was a bit neglected and offered to take care of the kids (both sleeping at the time) so I could go fishing. Had no desire, nor license.

Got on the road. Made it to Elk River before melt downs from both children. Stopped at Sonic. That was the best thing of all weekend. Got home at 9.

This morning all went to hell. I guess during the wee hours of the morning the cops busted someone infront of our home. The thew a baggie out the window. They did not notice this at first. Then at 4:30 am they busted people searching our yard. Then the cops came back at 5 min to 6am and knocked on our door to tell us about the situation. They were searching our yard for the meth. Supposedly the cops were to call and let us know the status of what was going on... they never did. Keith got told not to let Wy put anything found outside in his mouth. DUH! Just makes me want to move more!

Then got bad news about the wedding annivery child care arrangments. I give up.

Keith is back to 40's but can not work fridays again. So there for it means single parent time again. The kids will see Keith for an hour at best prior to bed time.

Liz who I am not on good terms with called wanting advise from my hubby. "you sound frazzled" Hummmmm you wonder with what went on today and then not showing up when you said you would, then not calling about it for weeks... you wonder?

Rob's car took a shit.

Angie's tooth cracked and had to get a crown.

Emma was super fussy for most of the night.

Wyatt got a bad scrape on his knee. An overflow diaper. And then played the I do not want to go to bed routine.

The only good thing of the day was him going poop on the potty. Sorry if TMI but when potty training....

Now must run to bed. She just went down and the next three days are going to be long.

Updates

The porch passed inspection. Now to put in the items that were not on our plans. Like a fan.

Got the stroller. Took the kids for a walk. It pushed like a dream. Wyatt loved it. He was talking to Emma about the neighborhood, and giggling the whole time. As we started the walk we found our gate open, with two water bottles next to it. So our dog is gone again. A lock will be purchased when we make it to a store. No sign of the dog yet.

Keith's work cut back down to 32. No sign of more work. People are being asked to take days off. We already cut back on things.... now time to do it more. Rammen noodles for all.

Getting better....

The last few weeks have been full of stress. Searching for a double stroller, the porch, and playing single parent. Needless to say yesterday was when things started getting better.

Started with shopping Old Navy online, had 30% off coupon. Got some clothing that I hopes work out. And got free shipping. Then called Leah and arranged to go to the store with her. I had some items to return from the last time. Made a stop at Starbucks, she paid. The store manager treated us great, offered us the 30% as well if we did not have one.

Got the mail and got free Enfamil bottles.

Did have the evil FIL show up.... but he kept out of my way.

Went to BRU and looked at strollers. Made progress. Bought diapers and food and ended up getting an extra $10 in gift cards for free!

Made a determination and made a purchase of the stroller. Not a jogging one like I wanted but it should be good. Should be here some time next week. So out of stroller hell! Just in stroller purgatory til it arrives.

Last night Emma slept thru the night. And tonight will be a trip to Nova. Depending on if the porch inspection results depends on if it will just be wine or food tonight.

Wed. sucked, thursday better...

So wed night got no sleep in to thursday. Emma did not go to bed til 11. Wyatt woke up at 12, 1:30, and 2:30 for he "had a butt". Then Emma woke up at 3:30. Taking a long while to go back down. Followed by Keiths alarm at 4:20, and again at 4:35. Then prior to leaving a Wyatt came in at 6 to give me a hug prior to leaving for the day. Totally woke me up, but he did share/leave teddy for me to sunggle. If you know him that is a big deal. He wanted me to go with, but told him I had to stay home and sleep for he kept up mommy all night. Gave me a hug, said ok, and went with daddy. Emma woke up again at 7:30 and did not go back to bed.

Gave up. Ended up getting a visit from the starbucks fairy. Then Keith's work ended up sending me a very nice flower arrangement in a cute vase. (they would of sent it last week but they were closed) Then the mil visited. Emma kept her eyes shut the whole time. Leah came over. Hit Kohls, got nothing. Picked up the fussy one. Who freaked out that I did not have the Emma with. Had to inform him that she was in the car with a special visitor. Auntie! He was ok with that.

Called Liz many times who was to have been coming over last night. Got her hubby. He was aware of no plans. Not the first time this has happend. Told him about what she had planed and stated that "it figures" and "she never tells me anything". Spoke to him and had a nice conversation and told him if she dsnt bring it up to just say nothing. Never got a call and she never showed. That just pisses me off. You want my time great, but to make plans and not to follow thru with them angers me.

At that point ended up going to Von Hansens and got some steak for the reaming sil and the bil showed up too. Ate steak, went to bed.

Emma and Wyatt were great last night. Now today to see if I get to meet up with Randi prior to her leaving town. I do not think I can go bar hopping with others for her on saturday.

Two good nights...can we hope for more?

Emma was good again last night. Keith fed her again this morning but she decided not to go back to sleep after he left. Diaper. But after another bottle, and a fresh diaper all was well. But a head ache has plaged me most of the morning. It goes away then comes back and feels like a migraine. Caffeine and drugs are not helping.

Collage has started populating my mind again. Sigh... no $, and no time. Plus the programs that I would do would be quite costly. Nursing then a master in physical therapy. Issue is it would take 7 years to finish. Ugh... I will give up as normal. And not bring it up to people. Shit the best grade I got in tech. school was a c-.

It went better than thought..

Ok so my first night on Emma duty did not go well on sunday. She woke up more than ever. So nothing was done on monday during the day excluding ordering stamps. I know such excitement. Then went thru the back and forth of Keith then finaly deciding to work 5 days this week. Not too thrilled on that, but at least he still has a job.

So after him pulling crap on me of not saying when he was coming home. And knowing that I wanted him home to help with the Wy pickup. Nothing. I go pick up Wy. Went better than I thought. He was quite protective of sister. Did not want anyone touching her. He ran to the car. Thank god not in to the road.

On our way home Keith then chooses to tell me what the hell is going on. He missed pick up time with Wy. It made me a bit mad. But made it home before us. Then a great dinner debate for Emma was having fussy time prior to the pick up. Wy was on a "mine" tangent. Being a show off for attention when we were already giving it to him. Ended up going to Target with Wy for he wanted to Go! and GO NOW.

So we got to Target and he was an angel for me. Got a call when at the stoplight that the grandparents were coming over. So ended up getting home. Then Wy started acting like a little shit. Got him in the house and the grandparents showed up. After a juce box sanfu got him to bed.

Emma woke up twice lastnight, normal. Wy woke up sortive too. Keith fed the Emma this morning so I could get some sleep. Now only if it could keep up with a few less wakings on the childrens part.

Hope it goes well.....

Saying that for many reasons... Wyatt is back. He bucked nap time due to a 15 min. nap in the car. So after giving up on that .... we fed sister. He is just fascinated by her at this point. I hope it lasts. Keith and Wy went out side to play, and washed the puppy. Thank god he reaked. Wy thought it was so bad he even found the fabreze and sprayed him down. Thank god it is pet frendly. Now to figure out if is works directly on the animal, lol. Ended up sending Keith and Wy to Culvers. I am just dreading tonight. Emma has not stayed up as much as I would of liked at this point. Also still waiting on that poopy diaper too.... anywho... Oh and tmrw. for Wy is going back to daycare. I am stuck paying something one way or another. So he can keep a routine he his going. Not looking fwd. to dealing with Wy the runner in the road and the infant. I know just have to cope with it. Just happy daycare is on a quiet road. If things do not go well he is getting a backpack with a leash on it. I hate them but with trying to deal with the both of them and a head strong toddler... sigh. Also wondering why the hell I do not want to eat. Just have no apptite. It sucks. For I am usualy a foody. Still getting callories in. Just in bad ways like Starbucks.

I want to do nothing....

I think having a new baby has gotten to me. I just want to do nothing today. And I need to get things done for this is the last full day prior to Wy coming home. Do not get me wrong I look fwd. to him coming home but it will be harder to get things done. So far took a nap and Leah and Rob came over for a bit. Need to run to Menards. Prior to that I think some coffee is in order.

Attempted to go get a facial to be good to my self but that did not happen. Bummer for I have a free one coming to me.

BRU and doctors too!

Yesterday got to BRU with the MIL and they were out of 1/2 the crap I needed again. I got so mad I forgot the other 1/2 of the crap I needed. So later Keith and I ran to another BRU location and picked up the remaining items. Along with dinner from the Byerly's deli.

Today woke up and let Keith sleep in. Took care of Miss Emma and got the family on our way to the east metro. Visited the step-mom at work and got Emma's birth certificate taken care of. Then to the doctors. Needless to say the search for the ped. is still in progress. So today we saw a NP. She was odd.... Emma is back up to 2 oz shy of her birth weight. She dropped down to 9lb as of Monday so this is great! All is well in baby health land as of right now. Then on to Linner (lunch/dinner) at one of our favorite resturants. Made our way to Target then home. Not too bad of a day so far.

waiting again...

So the clinic called and they got Emma in this week, yea! But still waiting on paperwork so she can be insured.

Also trying to figure out what to do about strollers. For Emma is here and I only have singles. Maybe I get Wyatt a backpack leash?

I am suppose to run to BRU today with the MIL. But still waiting to here from her.

Hurry up and wait more..

So changed my out of office message at work. Not returning til 9/14. Talked to my boss. Set up my 6 week check up. Called to make an appointment for Emma. Waiting for a call back. I guess there was a baby boom this last week. They are trying to figure out how to get her in. Filled out my insurance paper work. Now they want a copy of the birth certificate. SO I am now awaiting that. If it is not here within the week I am sending in the paper work regardless. Also set up my short-term.

Never got to babies r' us yesterday. A bit mad on that one. The fil showed up when he should not of. Then tried to be all buddy buddy with the mil and her spouse. They left. Spent time with Wy. Then they came back and took him. Now must make calls to see where he is going today. The mil might have him tonight. Then on tueday night he has some good plans... that is all I will say for now. Jessie came over and thank god she did with some formula.

Had the home health visit today. Emma lost another 3 oz. but that is ok and within expected range. We both checked out well. Also ended up with another can of formula. Score!

Hurry up and wait...

So last night I did not take it so easy. Keith was so exhausted and in lots of pain from the bed in the hospital. So for a few of he wake ups... he did not even notice for that is how hard he crashed. I took care of Emma. She is so easy. This also worked out great for I could take my pain meds on time. So in a way, win win.

Woke up this morning later and Keith was doing alot better. He ran and got me Starbucks and Key's. In fact I must go back there soon for my $2.00 drink. Called the pager # for the home health nurse and still have not herd back. Leah claims she is coming over today, she has not shown. Dan and Sandi are supose to show up, they have not. I am to run to Babies r'us to get some more formula... long story... but must wait for the above. Then Patrick is to show and take Wyatt for a night/day. No rest for the wicked but I must hurry up and wait for all.

But Keith is taking great care of us both today. Though must find my juice cup. Time for more meds.

What a busy week..

So woke up and knew something was not right on the 2nd. More high blood pressure. Went in and it was 138/90. So they kicked me up to L&D again and said I would either be induced that night depending on how the other blood pressure readings would go. If I sat up they were high so for the next 7 hours I had to lay on my side. Not so great. Ate some food and Keith got there. Got the nice combo of sleeping pills and morphine to sleep.

They were to start the induction the next day at 6. This did not happen. They were so busy. All rooms were full. This pissed off my doctor who I think was already pissed that one of her other practice mates admitted me and ordered the induction. So the started the meds. Had the epidural by 11 am. They had be doped up realy good. But I think the Dr. who did my epidural missed an area. It hurt like hell from 1-3:50pm. I'd clench the arm rest. Kept telling the nurse.. nothing came of it. Then at 3:50 they told me I could try and push. Well it worked too well. For after a few pushes I got told to stop and they were franticly getting the doctor. Needless to say the contractions were so strong they were pushing her out on their own. The doctor made it in just bearly got on her gown and gloves and she was here with in 10 min of pushing.

Emma Grace 9lb 6 oz 21 1/2 inches long, 14 inch head arrived at 4 pm. No stiches to me. Still trying to figure out that one.

They did find that my placenta had some calisfication and there were some clots. Not a good thing. But all turned out well. Reason behind that is still not known as of that point. But they were sent to the lab just incase.

Wyatt came to see his sis that night. He even wanted to hold her, he asked on his own. He liked it til she cryed the lifted up his hands like he did not do it and wanted help. So cute, he even gave her kisses.

Debbie, Angie, my dad, and Sandi showed up. It was great. Went to bed. Sent her away for sleep. Got woken up for they were so busy that she had to return to our room.

Keith went home and ditched a car then came back with Leah and Rob. Was amaized that Rob held her. Then Patrick and Carol showed up. It was not too bad but a few conversation topicks did make me mad at him. Like it is ok to leave used syringes at the doctors in a paper bag even though they said that they would not take them in a public area but then it is the end of the world when some one throws a cigarett butt on the ground... both are just as bad in my book.

Rest of the day was full of accupunture, healing touch, narcotics ( : Lots of baths. Then when settleing down for the night we got moved. The L&D area of the ward was over full and they needed the room. So we got moved in to the c-section suite. Did not like it. The bath sucked... and it was smaller. Dan and Sandi came and visited, then Janell. She brought a cute little sister shirt.

Then today discharge took a long time. But now we are home. Taking it easy. More later.

Busy week

Wyatt did come home not sick, but covered in mosquito bites. It looks so bad. Supposedly I was to blame for I did not pack long pants. But I say he is 2 spray him down with bug repellent.

Monday I ended up in L&D for high blood pressure. They let me go. Nothing came of it. Did some more labs yesterday and I am awaiting results.

Tonight the fussy one goes for a visit with an Aunt. For he will be going to the zoo prior to a cousin going to Canada.

Just now hoping that this child comes a.s.a.p for I do not want to be in the hospital on saturday.

Leah and Rob move today. Let us see how that one goes...

Not that ....

Well the fussy one is gone for the weekend... now just for him not to come home sick...

Keith went and helped load up the trailer at Leah and Rob's. Went to Menards... Wy got a cool pool. Then the reg. trip to target. This time my hips did not hurt like last. Leah dropped off more crap at our house. Thinking of what to do for dinner called Leah... during that time Angie called. I guess I have a new step-mom. Gald about that part, just disapointed that I was not invited..... Needless to say they both will be getting alot of shit about this. Also the Aunt and Uncle will be getting a bit of shit too. Leah brought more crap over and we went to dinner.

Time was running short so we had to run up to the new house with her. Not too bad, but for what the houses future market value was to be... not that impressive. The master was nice. But the great room combo (kitchen, dineing room, living room) was small. To the point of wondering how a large table will fit in the area provided. Then the bedrooms are as small or just seamed smaller than Wyatts room. With a bit of an odd layout. Two bottom floor, none on the entry floor, one on it's own with a bath, then 5 stairs up to the master. They used tan paint in the whole thing. It is a nice house but as I said screwy lay out and not that impressive for the $.

Now home... now what to do. Looking fwd. to Ro and Cin coming over tmrw. Now just not to go in to labor til monday. If I do tonight I blame Angie and John ( :

Peace

So today at work was a struggle. Between the work I was working and the current state of my body..... Got a few phone calls and interruptions.... One phone call was a request for the fussy one. Of course the answer is yes.... then Leah brought over her stuff for she has to do a same day close on her house soon.

Picked up the fussy one from daycare. He had a good day excluding the fact that he did not take a nap. Then we went to his playdate at his old day care. He was shy... but warmed up in no time. I left for home for Renee intention was for me to have some time to my self. It was great I took a nap... Keith got home and then I got a french dip for dinner. It hit the spot. Went and picked up the fussy one. Him and Wyatt Joshua had a fun time. He ate like a pig. Was well behaved, and went on the potty. The report as a parent you want to here any time you leave your kid anywhere. Especialy with no nap. We will have to do it again. Soon ( :

Got home and he got a little bit fussy but that is due to it being past his bed time. Got him settled and in to bed. A good day in general. Just one of those days even with a few bad hickups that you feel at peace.

crapy

That is how I have felt for the past few days. The child is measuring 8lb 12 oz. So I hope she comes soon. Just frustrated. I have been to the doctors the last two days. Yesterday for reg. prenatal... today due to head ache and nausea.... they wanted to make sure that I was not having preeclampsia... I did not....they did some labs and another NST.... all came back good. Just need the headache to go away! The nausea has become less.

Got to see Jenny yesterday. Was so nice to see her.

Today one more task finished prior to new baby.... the swing set up. Now just to keep Wy out of it. He was so proud to help set it up.

That is about it....

Can I be done now.....?

Friday - took it off. Felt too exhausted. Even skipped out of my work function. Good thing the inlaws came over. Prior to that Keith and I grabbed a bite of breakfast for the house had no food. Got dragged to Sears and JCP. Then Dan came over. He got a new used truck. 2006 F-150. Quite nice. Even got to drive it. Dear lord you feel like you are in a semi-truck! Even parked the damm thing perfect when picking up dinner. Attempted to have the in-laws take Wy, but that did not happen.

Saturday - Did things around the house. Went to Target with the fussy one who was a angel the whole time! Still in shock on that one... Called Ro... went out to dinner. Had a nice visit.

Sunday - Woke up. Took care of the happy fussy one. Went to Keys. Got food for us all. Ro left. Now ready to be done and have this kid. .... that is about it...

How is the pot roast......

So on tuesday night. Keith "we should make pot roast" Me "Nah lets make french dip sandwiches"..... he goes and works on his car late in to the night. Wed. morning I come down to find the crockpot on the stove with spuds chopped inside. "Oh you just need to dump the spices and roast in"..... ok first off I told him previously that I did not want to make pot roast. Then you start it and run? Gurr! Needless to say after all the antics that have been going on this week, it did not sit well with me. So I just get over it. Then feeling like I am a prisioner of my own home as of late. Due to being so pregos and dealing with a toddler with no help this week. He emails me to ask how I am. That is a good thing, but then in the same sentance. Oh how is the pot roast? That pissed me off. Been ingored lately due to so much needing to be done. You show some concern about me great.... could it be left at that. Sorry prob. to senstive. Just getting fustraed.

Went and got the fussy one from daycare. He had a bad day. He got two times out for not shareing and then one for hitting. Besides that fact he did not take a nap. So feeling low my self it gave me no hope for the eve. alone with him. Wy did well, excluding when he dumped a glass of water on him and of course the gate that smacked him in the face... he did both. Got him set up for dinner between phone calls made to the house. Keith actualy walked in the earlyest he has all week.... still quite late... Served up the f'n pot roast for him. Then Wy was done with his dinner as I was about to sit down. Keith realized that "oh maybe she is exhausted" decided that it may be good if he took the fussy one up stairs so I could eat the fat chunk of the remaining pot roast.

Then we got him to bed. Asked Keith if we were even going to get to go out prior to the kid comming... no real answer. Fine I go and do my stuff to get ready for bed. Climb in to bed and then he follows about 20 min later. He attempts to snuggle up with me. I just had nothing to do with it. I am sorry do I do not take well to being ingnored and then act like nothing has happend.... went to bed.

Today still feeling a bit fustrated. I put in to take tmrw. off to sleep in. Dan maybe coming over to help with the porch again. It is a good thing, but it also means that we will not be able to do anything. Oh well beggers can not be choosers.....

And fathers day is comming up. With how lack luster mothers day was... and how the last few weeks have gone I am just having a hard time to plan anything for him. And of course I am a better person and prob. will do something.... just can't put my heart in it.

Lack luster is right..

So worked the full day. Started getting a bit worried for no call from the auto shop. They called 10 min to 3. Just in time. Had a nice ride up to Gale's, thanks Scott. Found out he lives not too far from the in-laws. Got Keith's car. The washed it and cleaned the interior. All for a windshield. Got to love them. They always do a good job. For this is our second windshield, and a bumper prior. Stupid soccer moms who back in to parked cars! *clears throat*

Got the fussy one early. He is so happy this week, I think he is glad there is another boy at daycare around his age. Stopped and got some White Castle since I know we were on our own again. Watched some toons, played. Keith showed up. Gave him a bath and strait to bed. Now Keith is working on his cars a/c..... sigh....

I have a work thing to attend on friday.... so tempted to bail on it. Need a date night prior to the new kid coming but at this rate that will never happen.

Found a house plan I would like to build.... but where is another problem...
House plan

Hectic monday in to lack luster tuesday...

So monday was a bit busy. We had a mandatory meeting at work. Some major news I can not speak about.... all I can say is it may be better for my job. Then the doctors. Had more contractions.... the nurse wanted to shoot me up again. The doctor said no. Ugh! But the girl is measuring over 7lbs! Actualy closer to 8 lbs.... but with Wyatt and her having a bigger head she thinks it is closer to the 7lbs. Just a few more days and she will be full term.

Then made my way home as fast as I could. The MIL picked up Wy from daycare.... she had to go to a work charity event. She left. Attempted to care for Wy the best I could. Almost ended up crashing for a nap. Keith called and said he was on his way home at 5:30 pm..... he did not have his cell phone. Waited... waited... called JimmyJohns's so it would be here when he got home.... waited... wated more.... he did not show. Over an hour later I said screw it and Wy and I ate. He showed up just as I was eatting my last bite. He hit a traffic jam due to the bridge work in Anoka.... ugh. This would not bother me too much but... come on I am super pregos, and we had things that had to be done involving both of us. He ran to the can and ate his dinner.

It was 10 min prior to Wy's bedtime....shit! So called the SIL to see if she could come over and just stay here while we ran our chores.... no answer. Changed a butt and ran out the door. Followed Keith up to the shop so he can get a new windshield...then debated on going to Target. For guess who forgot cat food! Decided to forgo that and make our way to Walgreens. Had to switch my blood thinner so I can have good drugs for child birth. Could not find my wallet. Keith paid... came home and tore apart the car. While Keith ran to the can...ugh could not find it. Was just about to go up to where we dropped the car... Keith looked and found it wedged in an area I could of not gotten to considering my current state.

Did some chores... took the new shot..... went to bed. Woke up a few times... ugh.....

Now wokeup today. Just feeling blah, and I hope that I do get the car back prior to 3 like they said. For I am on my own again today. Just ready to go back to bed.

Crap

So woke up 3x last night. Contractions.... once was a jolt awake thinking my water broke. No reason... no dream... no pee. Just jolted awake and thought that. Woke up at 6:45 for the fussy one woke up early for the weekend. Got him squared away. Went and picked up Keys and Starbucks for breakfast. Contractions were still bad. Kept progressing..... the in-laws showed up. Kept being aful and the back pain. Finally could not stand it any more. Called the doctor. A NST and dip test and ended up with a rx for mussel relaxers. Some stuff in Urine but not enough for anti-biotics. Get to go back in on monday. Worst part is the contractions finally started claming down during the NST!

So I am wiped out and feel like a boob for calling in. Oh well. Time for dinner.

Not as planed....

So the week had been full of help since the episode on monday. It has been great. Someone has been home with me to help care for Wy every night since Keith has been stuck working late. I just need to take it easy for the next 7 days. With people being her I do feel the need to entertain. I should just try and concentrate on resting or doing what little prep I can do.

Today was a bit lousy. Keith was able to work today but can not work friday next week. But who knows as wishy washy his emlpoyer is.... So we did not get to go out to breakfast like I hoped. Jess came over to pick up a few things. Nice to see her. So I was awaiting Keith to return home. He called and I was to pick what we were doing for lunch. This made me happy for I do appreciate what little time we get to spend togther. So 20 min later Dan calls. He is on his way.... so there went our plans. Attempted to suguest going to Denny's for lunch. That was shot down. Ran to get KFC, can't complain too much for Dan paid for it.

They worked on the porch. I attempted to rest. I attempted to make a hair appointment. But no luck. Went and picked up Wy. Tried talking to the daycare provider.... Wy decided to bolt to the car. So needless to say that was cut short. Attempted to keep him entertained for awhile, as they worked on the porch. Then went and picked up the MIL with Wy for the BIL's truck died. So insted of making him find rides with friends... they are letting him use the van. Brough her back and they ended up taking off. We were going to get them dinner.

Now due to the time they left I am at home sitting with Wy. He is in bed thank god. For I am in so much pain right now stairs are not a good thing. Thank god there is a bathroom on the upper floor. Now must attempt to pack our hospital bag after all the laundry is done. That I can not do due to the weight of things ) : Just hope I can get that done this weekend. Just a bit disapointed to that we were not able to dich kido and go out for a dinner prior to new kid. I have a feeling I will go in wk 37 again. I just hope if my body wants to cause issues it can wait til my appointment on monday afternoon.

Ok so the baby behaved... not my body

Today the work day went so so. No caffeine... so needless to say it dragged a bit. Then had a sup. try and yell at me... did not work. Made it to my doctors appointment. The BPP went great she is looking good(ultrasound). Got attached to the NST..... contractions up the wazoooo! So bad I got a shot today to stop them. By the way those shots are exhausting. So now we get to hope that my body deceides to let the little one reside for a few more weeks. I am on orders to rest and drink lots again. Suprized I did not end up on bed rest. Sad part is I still feal a bit crampy. All I can do is hope I can make it thru the work day. If I can make it thru to thursday I may take off friday again. For my body is telling me I need the rest. Just wish I had some of the shots at home so that way I would not need to go in if this keeps up.

Weekend , remind me what did I do?

So Friday I took off. Woke up to pee and help with the kido. Went back to bed. Then Liz dicided to try and call again prior to 9 am! Let that one go to vm. Not my usual mo but hell she has been told many times not to call prior to 9 am. Went back to bed again. Spent most of the day in bed due to contractions and back pain. Got the fussy ones crap ready for a visit with Angie. Had to take Keiths car due to my tire being bad. Ran him up, ate dinner, came come. Did some chores and went to bed.

Sat. Woke up ate. Went to Menards.... bough a bunch of needed shit. Had to lay down due to more back pain and contractions. Then had to run pick up the fussy one. Go to North Branch and get him his hair cut. Brenda was running an hour late! So while waiting he bonked his head on a shelf. Good mark on the head. He did so much better than last time... Then had to chase him while Keith was getting his hair cut. I would of taken him to the park but it was so lousy out side. Went to Shopko and did not even have fun doing. Too exhausted. Got home. Fussy one threw a huge fit. Got him settled. He ate like a pig and went to bed.

Sunday. The fussy one slept well. He did not wake up til 8. Keith let me sleep in. I woke up and did the weekend routine. So exhausted still went to bed when Wy took his nap. We both took a 3 hr nap. During this time Keith ran my now two tires up to Walmart. He said that they were to call when it was done. Jess came over. Looking at the clock and remb. what the hours were when Keith worked at one.... called 10 min to 5 pm. Asked them what their hours were.... "5pm" then asked if my two tires were ready..."Oh the buick?" yea! "Oh the manager wants to talk to you" Ran the phone down to Keith and told him what was going on. I was pissed that they did not call. Needless to say I got two new tires. I am tempted to call the manager of the store/district TLE due to 1st they did not call us when an issue arose. 2nd Keith spoke to the manager when he droped off the tires. Bunch of bull shit. I am just luck I made the call. Otherwise I'd have no car when I have appts. tmrw. Ate wingjoint that I could not afford. But hell needed...... Jess left and did not finish anything I planed.....

Fuck I need more weekend.....

Fustration

Today has not been the best. Besides the starbucks fairy....

Work was so so. But this being my friday helped matters. But I have had bad back pain all day. Thought it was my normal back pain coming back to get me, lol. For I had a few really bad muscle spasms in my upper back. Hurt like hell. Rested, then picked up the fussy one. Tire pressure low sensor went off oh my car. No flat tires, so made my way home.

Got him, got home. Luckly Keith was not too far behind us. Pain got worse, now with some cramping. Laid down and rested. It went away. Good. Get up and eat dinner. Came back again. Rested. Keith checked my tires and said the right rear was low. He filled it and it was not flat. Let us just hope it is low.

Got a letter from the city of Blaine stating that we need to contact them with in 10 days related to our building permit. SHIT! the thing is not done and I thought we had til the first of next month.

Now I am awake with pain again. If this keeps up I will be at the doctors for a possible UTI again. *sigh* only two more weeks that I have to worrie about not going in to labor yet.

Also Keith did not call Farmers. He is on the shit list. Needless to say if the call is not made tmrw. holy hell will be unleashed.

Mondays

Well til the baby is born all my mondays will be a combo of work and doctors. Todays visit went ok. Had to spend a long time doing a NST. The baby has dropped. So far that if she goes any lower the ultrasound tech will get too frendly with me. Now just to keep her in and healthy til the 19th.

Came home and ended up making dinner for us and Leah. Nothing too exciting pancakes, sausage, and hashbrowns. After dinner Wy went for a swing and the rope broke. Time to replace it. During that time got a call from Debbie basicly telling me that I am not getting a baby shower. Figured that one.....

Now wathing Jon and Kate plus 8. The show is doomed unless the parents get back togther.

Is a good weekend?

So Saturday stared out as any normal saturday. Wyatt slept in til his normal time. All was well. Then got a call from the in-laws they were going to come down. This made me so happy. Dan and Keith worked on the porch. Sandi and I went to BRU. Got a few more cases of diapers for both and some formula. Makes me feel better to have it. A target run for all the items we forgot. Keith and Dan got the cealing and soffts done. Now just to hope he can come down to help soon again.

Sunday both Keith and I woke up exhausted. We do not know why. Fussy slept in. We went to bed at normal time. Maybe too much work the day prior. I had to watch/play with the fussy one while Keith mowed the lawn. Needless to say this kicked my ass. Then got the fussy one lunch and to nap. Ran to Kohls and returned crap. Had to get gas with no $. Then came home and got a 30 min nap. Woke up... feeling worse. Had to yell at Keith to take the fussy one outside. After taking care of every need of the child after waking up. Normaly not an issue but with being so exhausted......Got the child dinner. Had to give him a bath and to bed. Now watching the new season of Ice Road truckers, in the us. Bed will be soon.

I am just so mad to go back to work. The illness of the fussy one last week made it so I got nothing accomplished. I just hope the up coming work week will an easy one.

The project that will never end....

So after a rough night woke up and made the way to the DMV. I can now drive my car again for another year. Made my way to J.C. Penny and got a replacement chain. Went to Getto-mart and picked up some more clips to finish hanging up the kids clothing. Well now I have run out of hangers. Ugh.... It just will not end. Today Keith got to take the fussy one for his well check. I am just too exhausted....Hope that comes out ok.

Also figured out this kido needs bottoms for 0-3 mo and onezies/bottoms/and dresses in 3-6. No more newborn or 0-3 mo items are needed. Now just to get formula and more diapers...lol. Oh and food for the rest of us.

A better day for all. (ok execpt Keith)

So today started with a fussy one who did not want to wake up. I think he enjoyed sleeping in the past few days. Had to be removed from his bed. Kept hearing "no" from my bed. So I got up to help. Manged to get the gigglesauras to come out. Off they went. Ate some food and back to bed for I. Woke up after my nap so groggy. Took a shower got dressed and headed off. Decided to stop by the DMV today for my tabs. Got in the place a relaized I did not have my check book. So I got the hell out and picked up a Java Chip Frap.... so groggy still. Drove out to Woodbury. Went to BRU and got a few more items. Must go back tmrw. for that is when some coupons start. Then a quick run to Mc'Ds for lunch. Went to my doctors appoitment. She is already measuring 5lb 5oz...... Hope she comes at 37 weeks if this keeps up, lol. Then after my appointment went up to the mat. ward of the hosipital. Went and saw my friend Jenell and her new son Alexander. She was doing so well for a C-section. While visiting her found out they made some huge changes for the better. Like insted of having two choices for dinner you have a room service menu. You can call any time during the open hours and order what ever you want! Needless to say we were so geeked about that. Had a very nice visit. Then made my way home. Fussy had an good day at daycare but a bit cranky in the afternoon. Gave him dinner and a bath and to bed with him. But now he is fussing. Keith had a ok day. Had to drive with out a/c again. So he is now working to try and fix that. Also got Wyatt's bag ready for when sistor comes. Now just to work on our stuff, lol. Also should try and find our car seat and get that ready. For tmrw. is 34 weeks and she could come as soon as 37.... and I am slow these days. So a task a day is about my pace...

what is with people....

Ok I know I have been having a bad week. That is me. But what is going on with other people. Sent Keith and the fussy one to culvers for dinner. I needed a break and thought it would be a nice treat for them both. Well he took my car. Not an issue normaly. But my wallet had fallen out of my purse. So had to call them and figure out what culvers they went to so I could go to target to get the items for Wyatt. Ran to the culvers and got it.

On the way to target people were driving a bit insane. Fine. Got thru target. Went to chipolte for my dinner. They were out of chicken. People were bitching up a storm. What ever... got my steak. Got rung up and it was $2.00 less than normal, sweet! This made me happy. Then the drive home is where it went to hell. On a straitaway I had some one almost sheer of the front of my car for they could not wait two seconds for me to pass. Then they were making a left turn in a diffucult area and had to wait, and wait. Fine. So it comes time for me to turn on the main road. I a right, well another person making a left cut me off. Then had to make a turn in to the area I just was, ugh what ever. I just wanted to get home to eat. So made my way across 65. Not an issue. But once I crossed the road to the holiday.... some one darted out in front of me again. Missed them by a foot! What the hell is with people! Got home and Wy was extra fussy. He did not get a full nap today. After 20 min of screaming on his end got to eat my food.

Now just to hope I win the powerball jackpot tonight. Can make my life and the lives of others a bit better.

Also to note my canadian acquaintance has after two years got her refferal for adoption of twin boys from china. I wish her luck.

Better Wy

So after speaking to the nurse yesterday per their request, I brought Wy in to the doctors today. So he woke up today fever still around. Quite a bit less 100.6 with out meds. Crap.... was hopeing that he woke up with none. So brought him in. No meds for the fever. They take his temp... 97.1 ! UGH! Makes me mad. Wasted the gas and the copay. I only brought him in per their request. So he will be going back to daycare tmrw. I am glad he is better but mad that the temp disapated after we got to the doctors.

Also I am angry at an aquantace. I have told them multiple times not to call my home prior to 9 am, regardless if I am working or not. She called at 7:45 am! On my day off from work. Not just one phone, but both my home and cell. Needless to say I called back and gave her an ear full. Then to top it all off she called when I was attempting to take a nap this afternoon. Needless to say they are on my shit list.

Now I am awaiting for the hub to come home. We need to make a run to target for some items to keep the fussy one hydrated and encourage him to eat. He lost over a pound and a half with this illiness. Ugh.... Such is life.

Sick wy...

So I was returned a vomit covered child with a 103 fever. The pain reliever brought it down to 101 now. He came in and layed on the floor. Ran and got him pedilite and now he is in bed. ...... I am not looking fwd. to tmrw. He will be staying home. I will also have to call the doctors office.......... for he has been sick for a few days. So much for resting tmrw.

Clothes

I have to put this down somewhere. I am going insane with all the sorting I have done this weekend.

Need no more gowns or newborn clothing.
Need no more 0-3 mo clothing for the most part.

Need more 0-3 mo onesies.
Need more 3-6 mo onesies.
Need any 6-9 mo onesies.
Need 3-6 mo jeans.
Need 3-6 mo dresses.

I broke down today and removed all the tags and separated the clothing we have. I had to do it for my own sanity. I can not let the death of some one elses child prevent me from moving on with my life. It helped in its own way. Now just to give birth to a healthly baby girl.

New house rule

It may seam lame, but after spending over 1/2 hr sorting thur the sock drawer..... If you feel the need to by my children socks please buy either Ciro or Old Navy socks with the size on the bottoms. Also that was the fussy one dose not get socks cramed on to his feet that are too tight.

Thanks the greatful house management.

Vindicated!

So this morning Keith was packing clothes for the fussy one to go up north. I got told that "Wyatt has no clothes that are not pjs or long sleeves." Geese I say that for shits and giggles? Good thing I have some clothes on order ( :

One more day!

Tomorrow it will be my last day of working til June 1st. I am taking off some time now to rest. It has been getting hard to function during the day with out naps. That is a luxury that I have lost this time around. So let 12:15 of friday come fast!

This weekend I hope to get some sewing done. We will see how much progress happens on that. But hell I am broke so what choice do I have.

Still trying to figure out what we need to get for the baby.

So far we have some bottles...
Blankets
clothes
Diapers
Wipes
Nipples (for ready to use Enfamil Bottles)

Still need to get more burp cloths
more Formula (enfamil premium) but still holding out hope for coupons for none have shown.
More size one diapers
Food for us
gerber jersy knit crib sheets

Four more weeks and baby could be here. ...

Avoid a hospital

Not to far from where I live is a hospital in the past has recommended people avoid. Well it is official their stupidity caused a death of some one I know child.

What happened is this person went in to have their child at 37 weeks. Full term no known issues. Well the child was stressed inutro so the heart rate started decelerating. Very common. Infact happened with my son when I had him. So after a try with forceps, a practice that has been stopped for the most part to cerbyl pulsy being the result of use. They did a c-section. All went fine til they cut the cord. The child could not take a breath. They tryed intbating him. Three diffrent medical professionals. The child died. They attempted to tell the family that the childs lungs must of not formed correctly.

Come a week later. The optopsy that they were told would take 6 wks only took a few days. Result.... the child was perfect! Nothing wrong but the fact that the medical professionals did not remove the mercomun (aka bowlel movement). There for by trying to intbating him compacted the bowlel movement and sufcating him. I am sorry to say it is very common when a child inutro is under stress it will have it's first bowel movement inutro. So common they suction and all is fine. So do to those ding bats a child has died. I feel so bad for the family.

Back to bad.....

Today just sucked! Morning started out ok. Wy was in a great mood. Thought this may start out my day well. WRONG. Work was lousy. Had a computer crash situation that did not last long enough but still caused issues. Feeling bad I did not take off the day to spend with Wyatt. For it was his b-day today. Sandi came over on her luch to seal flowers, lilacs. If you do not know I have 7 diffrent types on my property so far. She noticed some one opened our gate again. Now we know it is some one in the morning did it. Ran out the door to pick up Wy from day care. He was still sleeping. So needless to say he was a bit hairy. Ran to Fridley for the urlogist. Had to hike carrying Wy thru the parking lot. Then 1/2 across the building. I thought it was closer than it was. Then when I was regretting the fact I had no stroller.. walked in to the waiting room. It was the size of my dineing room if you cut it off at the bainster. With so many chairs cramed in there. Made me glad that I had no stroller. Waited in line in this cramed room. When I got to the window got told to have a seat for it would be a few min. Problem is she did not take my info. She was just too busy with her own shit. Then got called backup. Noticed my checkcard was now missing. Luckly had another mean to pay the copay. Then waited, and waited. 30 min after what was to be the start of our appointment it started. Then got told oh we are going to put this cream on that will take 45 min to make it numb. So they slaped it on and thank god I brought my big bag for I had to entertain him. I almost lost my mind. He was crabby still from his nap being intrupted. Made it. Then had to hold him down while the cut it off. His cyst that he got due to his circ. 1/37 chance and he had it. Still glad he had a circ. Hard to do when in pain, exhausted, and heavely pregers. Thank god I got the arms. It was easy. The man part was keeping his hands down so he did not sit up or play with the tools. During that time Keith called. Let it go to voice mail. By the end and the trek back to the car I was wiped out. He has to go back in two weeks. Keith gets to do that one on his own. On the way back called the bank and reported my card missing. Got told it will take 7-10 days. Shit! Like you can survie with a checkbook for that long the way checks have gone. Ugh... Then Keith came home in a mood. The day just unravled.

We ended up getting Wing Joint for dinner for Wy always likes that. Then a run to target to exchange pjs and buy neosporin for Wy's junk. The pjs were a pain. Found the right ones. They were no longer on sale so had to go back to the customer service desk to get that fixed. Wy was in a good mood the whole time. Then got home. Gave him some cake. While Keith was installing the curtin rod in the fussy ones room. He got all pissy and fustrated. Thank god they are in. But he attempted to put up the curtins while I was changing the fussy ones diaper. I almost killed him. For I started it when he was not in the room. Had to keep my self from sucker punching him. The fussy one went to bed so well. I jus thope he sleeps the night thru tonight. Now I am feeling lousy, pain and tummy. Time for bed. Tmrw. needs to be better..... Many other things happend but do I care....

Also no more balls please! Wyatt got his 3 football today from some one.

Redemption....

Last night I ended up sleeping on the couch. Was mad at Keith and felt lousy. The fussy one awoke way too early for a weekend 6:30 am. Ugh..... So we both got up. He noticed at that time that I was not in bed all night. We got the kid situated. Ate a small breakfast of fruit. Then the fussy one watched a cartoon on his new fish. Keith then thought of his original timing of going down to his fathers and the fact that Wy really did not get a nap the day before. Then stated we would go after the fussy ones nap. This made me so happy. Ment a shorter visit. And sorry to pregers to entertain the fussy one when Keith and his dad wonders off. Plus the guy is not my favorite person in the world.

Then started chatting with Jess on FB then yahoo this morning. What can we say FB chat was sucking. Ended up meeting her at Starbucks and playing scone and coffee fairy. Had a nice chat. Then made my way home with the remaining beverage to share with the hub. Figure I better bring something back since he let me escape. Found him and the fussy one playing out side. Had fun with them. Then made our way back in. Took a shower then watched a bit of Tv and passed out on the couch due to a night of lousy sleep. Woke up to Keith offering to make something good for lunch. Entertained the fussy one and then we had a nice lunch. He off to bed me off to relax.

Keith could no longer wait to go to his dads. Woke up the fussy one. Made our way. Picked up his sistor and BIL. Then found out that his cousin and his wife were coming over. Keep in mind his cousin is the same age a Keiths mom. Had a lousy dinner. Then it was getting late. Ended up telling Keith it was time to get moving. And we did within 15 min. A new record. 3 hrs for the total visit. Now home... time to raid my kitchen for real food!

Good and angry

So my friday did not go well. After picking up the fussy one we went to Mendards. The plan was for I to buy a mirror for our bathroom to help finish it. Wyatt did not want to sit in the cart. After much protest he finally did. Then we get to the isle and as I attempt to put the mirror in the cart. I can't due to the size. Keith starts having a shit fit about the cost. WTF it is my $ and I knew the cost. He seriously thru a min-trantrum. I almost wanted to kill him. I think the 32 hr wks are getting to him. Then Wy got fussy and was being a little shit. We were all at one another jugulars. Needless to say left angry with no mirror. Went home and cleaned, cleaned, cleaned. Baked the cake. And to bed angry.

Today.... woke up angry. Started working on the frosting and the cake. Then Keith discovered one of his fittings on the plumming failed. No good. So he got pissy. Then he was pissy at both Wy and I for no reason. I could no longer take it told him I have my own problems right now. I was told that I should not compain about the cake. I chucked the giltter gell in fustration. That ended fast. Finished the cake, not to my liking. Started cleaning. The MIL was to have come and help me clean. They showed up after I had 1/2 the kitchen cleaned by my self. Not normaly an issue but I have been pushing my self too much the past few days in preperation for today. Got asked where I needed help. Told her the bathroom and she went to work. Ro showed early and I was glad. Got Wing Joint for lunch and all were happy.

People arived late. But not too suprized on that one. The starbucks fairy made a visit. I was so glad I was so wiped. Did the b-day party routine. Wyatt got alot of balls, please no more people. A giant fish we do not know where we can put it. Along with many asorted items. People left.....

Ro and I went to BRU and our favorie grocery store. Then she had to go home. *sigh* Then I found out the FIL is taking over my day tmrw. What was to be a lunch and get toghter for Wy's bday has now turned in to, suck up my whole day and dinner. Not too happy. And Keith is too much of a puss right now to say no. It is boring every time we go. A short visit is ok. But the whole day. Ugh! The kid needs a nap. Sunday is the day we need to get every thing finished. Especialy when today was dovted to working on this party. Ughhh!

Not as bad as I thought.....

So I knew the day would not be the best. We are working on a recovery report that involves tons of research and working with a vendor product. This would not be so hard but what is to be done keeps changing every 15 min so it is hard to get a handle on. Or keep ones self from wanting to strangle others. Then I was unable to wake up. Luckily the Starbucks fairy visited again. I am going to need to buy the Starbucks fairy a gift card..... That woke me up so I could cope with the task at hand. Took a shower on my lunch. Then picked up the fussy one. He was well behaved but did not want to go. Such a faker. Soon as the door was opened he was happy. Got home and Keith was home already! Shock! Threw the spuds in the oven. Then the steaks on the grill. With some cut up watermellon it was a good dinner. Then a bath for the fussy one. Played for a bit, then to bed. He did hop out of bed but had good reason. "butt mom" So got him a new diaper and back to bed. Now all the windows are open to cool the house... such nice weather. Now only if Keith would of left to go buy shoes. ......

Shoes

Ok so Keiths shoes have been falling apart since Feb. They have needed to be replaced since Dec. We have been looking. Kohls shoes have gotten very cheaply made and more expensive. Fleet Farm has nothing he has liked. Bought him a pair at Herbergers that he claimed were too big and was forced to return them. He refused to try on a diffrent size for he thought they were to spensive. They were $90 shoes I got for $60. All he had to do was exchange them. Now yesterday I told him that he needed to go to Sears tonight to look. Now he refuses. Whineing more than the fussy one. "I don't want to make a special trip" sorry if we got to Sears it is a special trip 5 miles up the fucking road. "I don't want to leave the house" WTF are you pregers or sick NO! UGHGHHH! I know right now we are a bit tight but this has been going on too damm long. And do you think I am going to be sitting in a store with him and a two year old helping him look for shoes, hell no. Too pregers.....

Odd but good

Friday started out attempting to log in to work... no luck. Called the help desk. Spent 4 hours plus waiting for a call back. Finally 4 hrs 45 min in to it. I was dismissed for they day. With pay
This made me so happy. I needed the rest after the week I had. We ran to lunch. Target, picked up the fussy one. Then walmart and home depot. We got the new shitter and vanity top.

Saturday. The fussy one woke up way too early. 6:30 am when we are use to a 8am wake up on the weekends. We had breakfast then made our way to Lowes for the faucet. Got there and changed our mind on the one we were going to get for one was on clearance for $40 compared to $80. Went to home depot again... forgot a few things... no luck they were all out. But the toilet, faucet, and vanity top are all installed. Got a call from the inlaws they wanted to take the fussy one. We complied and then took a shower. By the time we were done it was to late to go out for dinner where we wanted. Found another place. Had a nice meal and went to bed.

Today. Woke up late. It was nice. One of the first nights in a long time I was able to sleep the whole night thru. We both woke up and were lazy. Ate breakfast.... then Keith left to his moms. I stayed home to relax. It was so nice. Then got a call that they were on their way back. Got dressed and the MIL and FIL brought me a Magnola tree. Now just to remove our dogwood tree. Then after they left we went to babies r us and cup and cone. Got home and watched some fish on nature. Fussy but liked it. Now the day is winding down it is time for bed. This mothers day alot better than last year.

So sore

So the day started out with the fussy one waking early due to tooth pain. Gave him some motrin and strait back to bed. Then when it was time to wake he did not want to. But when he woke up finally he was so well behaved and ready to go out the door. But during that time the dog ran away. Some one opened our gate. He was back by 7:30am.

I started work and had lots of back pain and cramping. Drank lots of water did not go away. Drank more, did not go away. Then when I was ready to call the doctors, I got an email. Mandatory meeting. My boss sent me an IM seeing if I got the message. Told her what was going on. Made it thru the meeting. There was a layoff. 20 jobs. Needless to say all the petty whineing that went on made it last longer that it should. Drank more water and could take it no longer. Called the doctors and got ordered in. Called the supervizor and informed her I had to go. Got there did a Non Stress test and no contractions thank god. On tuesday I had quite a few to the point of the nurse not wanting to let me go. They then did a urine dip test, UTI. So another round of anit-biotics for me. Now just need the pain to go away. If I am not better with-in 24 hours back in for me.

Got home and Wyatt made me a card and got roses for me. It was so cute and he was so excited. Tried to take it easy. Ate dinner. Then started the fussy one to bed. "Potty , potty!" he proclaimed. This has happend many times but with no result at home. So did the normal diaper strip. He sat on the potty. Then we got a book. I had to read it 3 times at his request but he went! Made me so happy. Helped a bad day get better.

He is home

Well we got the dog. He cost $80.43. All I can say is Happy b-day Wyatt.

I almost was not allowed to leave the doctors office yesterday. Was having too many contractions. It got bad when I was driving home. I should of went back. They subsided after going to bed and lots of water. It started up again today but not near the severity of yesterday. I am really going to slack the next 6 wks if this keeps up.

This really sucks for we have too much to do.

Keith also got the official word that they are shut down 4th of July week. Unpaid. Still on 32 hour weeks it is really hurting us right now since I can not get OT. Wish I could get Ro to rent a room.

If anyone wants to get things for the baby we can use....lol

Now to bed I need my rest.

Just is not getting better.

So after ripping out my hair due to split ends I went to Jcp this weekend and got the hair taken care of. Now I can brush my hair not in pain. Just have to figure out how to pay for that when the bill comes. At least that will be next month. Took longer than I expected. When I got home we had guests that I did not know were going to be here. They played rock band and left shortly after I got home.

Saturday the fussy one was fussy. But made it thru. Went up to Jessie and Dawns up in Shaffer. Had fun but had to leave around 10. For we brought the kid with for they were to have their kids there. But they were not. The fussy one was so well behaved. Justins sistor Jenny loved him. She was impressed on how easy he was. I am just glad we left when we did. I had to drive home. I hate driving on Hwy 8 at night. Not the greatest strech of road. Especialy when sleapy. Keith almost passed out sleaping on the way home. He went strait to bed, and I took care of the fussy one who woke up during my snack. Slept lousy.

Sunday I was awoken by the boys. Not too happy since this happend at 7:30 am! I could not fall asleap til 1 am at best. Then woke up a bunch of times. Gurrrr. Made food and then did the things of the day we need to do. Put the fussy one down for a nap. I went down for a nap. Keith finishe the grout. Woke up and asked where the dog was. Keith said he was out side. Called him and he did not come. Gave up and asked Keith if the gates were shut. He said yes. Went and called the dog again. Nothing. When we got outside all the gates were closed no dog. Seached for him and then went to Ginas house for the gathering. We opended the gate just incase he came home. Got home nothing. Seached around again. Nothing. Called the sherif and some one grabed him. A block away! Gurr! The cop called us. Got told he was halled over to Maplewood. To a place that has no weekend hours. Now we wait for a call/them to be open. Just so pissed. For all we can think of is that some shit head kid let out our dog and shut the gate. For he is not a jumper and no dig outs or broken areas of our fense.

Last night slept lousy again. *sigh* I want to go back to bed.

Getting sick of this.....

So I have many things I need to get done with in the next 5 weeks. Problem is they all involve $. It is becoming a root cause of so much stress in my life. Besides our $ troubles, several family members are too. It just makes me sad. We all try so hard and no progress is ever made. *sigh*

Bad Lauren

So after having pieces of my mat. clothing fall apart I went and spent $ I did not have so I can have pants. *sigh*

So broke.

At least I can honestly say this is out of my control. I only helped it along by $30.00 at best. So the new daycare required a deposit. Two weeks of a deposit plus had to pre-pay for the first week of care. So a good $330 down the tubes. No way I could of planed for that. Oh and the deposit applies to the last two weeks of care! Then on sunday had to go to babies r'us. Needed diapers. With the store coupon plus others I had so much cheaper than target. By the time 3 cases of diapers, one pack of overnights.... a potty training item... a small thing of forumla, we got over the $100.00 mark. We have almost no washcloths either. So went to Jo-ann and bough some material to try and make some. The only reason I did that was I refuse to pay the price they want for them. Let's see how they turn out. The reason I say I helped out by $30.00 was a moment of weekness. I in the land of pregers required Wing Joint for dinner. Nothing to cook fast around here and chores kept me away from home longer than I expected. Also the Jo-ann trip is included in that amount. *Sigh* At least the ear infection is on it's way out. Just trying to figure out how I can earn extra cash when over time has been cut and Keith is still @ 32 hr weeks.

Catch up

So... Monday was the day of doom. Had my ob appointment. Passed the GD test this time! Then got bad news. They saw that one of the baby's ventricles was enlarged. Got the news I was being referred to the specialist. Then I had to put on a happy face and go tour two day cares. I was quite ill. Made it thru and almost collapsed. So exhausted, stressed, and ill. Had no appetite.

Tuesday did the back and fourth game of waiting for the ob to send over the order and the specialist nurse team determine what type of appointment is needed. Justin at the office called me back. Think he likes me, even though you know for sure I am not his type. If you know what I mean.

Wed. was the trip to the smoke/white trash daycare. Need I say more.

Thursday was trying to arrange another visit to a day care.

Friday was the big day. Went to the specialist. All went well. Had a great doctor this time. All came out clear. There might of been a blockage, or just I mis-reading of that ultrasound on monday. But I saw the enlarged ventricle, so I think I was A. Either way so happy that baby looked ok, and is up past 3 lbs. Right on track and healthy.

Today went to another day care. Keiths urging. They had a pit bull that they let play with the kids all day. And they admited that he was protective of the children. RED FLAG. Regardless of the bread. And the house reaked like dog. I still can't smell much of anything. It made me sick. So that made the choice of the daycare to pick easy. Now he will be going to a place near, if we stay here ... his school. Still dealing with an ear infection and illiness... not fun. Also got my ot cut to nothing.

Still need to go buy diapers for we are almost out. Also need to figure out how to deal with the deposit for the new place. Ugh.............

Added stress

Well my computer bit the dust for now. Power supply died. So now no puter for me...... So mad just steps away from ordering a mini....the only reason is $$$ So much to buy with baby coming & Keiths wages/hours being cut. I just sick of feeling so out of control. It is because of others actions my life has been put in to the whirl wind it is currently is. Just trying to figure out on how to get a grasp on the situation. For it is only I who can fix things.

Progress on the wrong things..

So got shot down on a few options for daycare this summer.

Managed to order the swing I wanted. Now just to hope that it shows up in one piece. One more major item off the list. Now just get some things like bottles, formula, .... ect. But they are all alot smaller in price. Thank god. Ok diapers may come close, lol.

Found out today that Wyatt is allergic to amoxcillin. The rash is starting to go away. Just glad for that.

Daycare lost

Yes the second time this year we are loosing our daycare. The last day in 5-1. She is throwing Wyatt under the bus due to her cousins kids needing care. For she is loosing her daycare to reasons out of her control. Her reasoning was that Wyatt was the newest kid. But he is not. She has taken on two other kids since his arrival. She will be confronted on this today. So we must do the quick search for daycare for two children. It was hell last time.

Also spent the night waking up in coughing fits with the cough syrup I am allowed to take. So today I am quite jaded. Just getting mad at the situations others keep putting me in.

Better and worse

I got the cold. Felt lousy for the past few days. Yea I get to go to the ENT. Boo to one of their other offices. I got to find that one now. Nothing of great interest has happened. Still dreaming of a mini... Missed out on working ot due to this cold. Easter was lousy at the MIL's. All I can say is a rated R movie is not good for 2 yr olds. Had 2 solid nights with out Wyatt throwing up due to the coughing. Now if I could only keep sleeping due to this cold.

Wondering about things we need to stock up on for the coming baby. Also wondering about items that others said they would buy. Ugh. So much to do and so little $ to do it with.

Easter....

Last night was not fun. Ok so it was. But not for fussy butt. He tossed his cookies due to a coughing jag. But auntie and uncle took good care of him and no other issue. We got to go bowling for free for some on elses b-day party. I some how became the hit of the party due to two coupons. Got to meet a few new nice people. We will have to see if we ever see them again. Liz did not show up. Hummmm. Atttempted to call her @ Jasons request and no answer. Needless to say she was not that missed.

Wywy woke up at 8 this morning. Found the egg trail that led to his easter basket. He had so much fun. He got to eat one piece of candy and a doughnut for breakfast. Played with us and now is taking a early nap. Soon as he wakes we will make the great voyage to the north land. Just happy that we get roast beef for our meal insted of damm ham! Then the venue switch to making maple syrp.

So exhausted today. Maybe Starbucks will be in our future.

Panted

So the bathroom is painted for the most part. Just a few touch up spots. Now to work on the tile. Must speak to the old man on that one. Soon as that is done we can get our toilet and vanity top! Wahoooooo!

We did a bad, bad thing....

Could not take the stress of the week. Our child was taken from us for the eve. So we went out to Outback and split a steak. For we know we should of not gone out for dinner. But I figured that Keith needed it for the stress that was put on him this week.

Now I sit up stairs resting due to some pain. Keith is putting on the primer. Must keep away from the fumes.

Accomplishments....

Well I have managed to stress my self out very good. One of the conversations Keith and I had yesterday was how screwed we be if I lost my job. Do not get me wrong if either of us lost our jobs we would be screwed. But with mine the health insurance is tied to. And if I even got a new job right away we would still be screwed due to the cost of insurance thru a prospective employer or thru his. We would be hemorrhaging $. Nothing like the added stress of being the bread-winner. Especially now with Keiths hours being cut down. True he made more but with the benefits it equals out or infact exceeds his wages. I just do not like the feeling associated with it. I know we are not the only ones in this situation. But it can feel like it.

Trying to eliminate as much stress as I can today. Stress is so not healthy. Keith called and maybe picking up kido. So that may mean I can take a nap. For kido has awoken me every night the past 5 days. Still trying to figure out how I am going to accomplish all the things prior to this child coming with the income lacking. Hummm make Ro move in?

I did at least register for the hospital today. At least something was accomplished.

Full moon

So it is that time of the month again. And all is going wrong. Keith found out that 1/2 of his department got laid off. Yes half. Many other areas of the co. got hit. Looks like friday closure will continue for a long while. One of the people who was laid off was told that there is no sales prospect for the next year. That was the head sales man who said this. That is no good. It only means that things will get worse unless the sales men get going. One of their competers just closed. Also part of this is 3 weeks of unpaid closures. And of course they will not be in a row so we will not be able to apply for unemployment. The first week is near my due date.

So needless to say last eve. was full of stress. To top it all off... we attempted to go pick up things at supertarget. Keiths car had a flat. Unrepairiable. So that will mean we need to buy two new tires when things are getting tight. So we go in my car. The tranmission shifted realy hard. So we will have to scrimp for $ for parts. We made it to target and even after $10.00 in coupons and making it a light trip we still spent $80. *sigh* And now looking in the fridge this morning I noticed a few key items were forgotten. Another trip.

The fussy one went back to daycare today at the urging of the provider. So I hope I do not get a call today to pick him up. Especialy since I was told that every one has that cold. And she is also closed tmrw. So after spending $140 for what will be two days of care this week....gurr...... I am just glad her rates will be droping in May. Of course if Keiths work continues the way it is he may be droped down to 4 days a week to save $. After the bathroom and pourch is finished ( :

Keeps getting worse.

Well Wywy's temp increased so much he saw the doctor again today. We made it up to 104. *sigh*
On the way home from the doctors Keith got a text message stating there was a layoff at this employer. No news if he was one of them due to he had the day off due to our sick child.

The economy came to get us

So it is official. Keith's work is cut down to 32 hours a week now. This will hurt a bit. Better than no job but still stings. I inquired about more overtime but I can not get any more that I am currently allowed due to I am still on a learning curve on my new work. After that depending on how well I perform there may be a possibility. But that learning curve may not be done til I go on mat. leave. Then when I return to work I will be put back on a learning curve again. Ugh..... Standard practice when you are out for 8 weeks.

Progress on getting ready for baby. Still trying to figure out what to do for bottles this time. If we go with what we did before I will need to order ones from online. The swing may be on hold til the last moment due to the job situation. Also need a bit more clothing and non-pink girlish blankets. Still wish that my car seat would disappear so I could get a more girly one. In purple! Oh well worse things are a brewing .

Weekend was a waste. Friday was a bad hair cut time for Wyatt and we did not get home from the mil's house til 10 pm. Then saturday was a blur. Did get some Olive garden, with out protest from the Keith one. Sunday we had to go to a pancake breakfast that sucked! Then Leah, Rob and I sat around for the next 3 hours doing nothing while Keith upgraded the computer. Then that breakfast made Leah and I feel ill. I had to come home and nap. I felt that lousy. What a fucking waste of my time. Made a quick run to Fleet Farm and that was it.

Now I just hope this week passes fast. I need a weekend. Just not looking fwd. to Easter. I don't want to spend time with anyone!

Getting closer ( :

Bathroom

Well some progress was made last night. Most of the bathroom mud was sanded down. But there are a few nails that need a few more layers. So we have to do that then we can prime, and paint. I can't do the priming part. But the paint is low VOC so I should be ok. I have to do the paint part also due to the fact that Keith can not paint a wall with out painting things that should not be painted.

Fussy butt had a rough night. He woke up 3 times. 1st time screaming at his door (very odd for him) opened the door "i potty'd". Praised him for letting me know and assured him he did not need to cry. Changed his diaper and back to bed. He was so sweet. Then again he was crying but not at the door this time. Asked him "did you go potty" he nodded yes and once again changed his diaper. Again she was very sweet about every thing. So getting my self ready for bed after the sanding had stoped. Again he woke up. Same routine and a sippy this time added in he finaly slept the rest of the night. Sad part is I hope this keeps up. For I can not wait for this little guy to be potty trained ( : and he is showing many good signs of being ready.

Now we are to Thursday. *sigh* Why could it not be friday. Oh wait.... Saturday. For Friday is full of many chores to be done. No rest for the wicked.

Babies R' Us Sucks!

Ok visited my second location this week. They were out of the swing that I wanted. E.T.A 3 weeks and they would not let me pre-order. So I am out of luck at this point. Then the broad would not let me use all my coupons. Gurrr! I do not know what is going on with them but I do not like it.

I was right

Jess purged her blog, and is now purging her facebook. Claims it is for her own sanity. I hope some if any good can come of this. Just makes me feel a bit uneasy.

WTF Missing?

Well it looks like Jess deleted her blog. Hummm no good can come of this.

This is cool but way out of my game.

Duo Stroller

Bastards...

So yesterday picked up the dog license. Got the kido from day care and we went to Babies r Us. We needed some items. So we went thru the store. First item out. Item 2 out. Every thing we looked for they were out. WTF? But the kido was so well behaved so that made the trip ok. Got home Keith was the fussy one of the day. What ever. He got over his self and had fun with the kido while I made dinner. Then we had to figure out what to do with the whole remote situation. So it was decided that we'd all go to Home depot. Did not seam too thrilled with that idea but what ever. Told him Wy could stay up a few min. past his bed time. So we went. Of course they could not find the remote. So they gave us a new one off the shelf. Fine, I just hope it works. So we walked around and all went well til we left. Wy melted down when he saw the race car and he could not play with it. Then Keith got all pissy. Great. Wy was a little shit in the car but his retalitaion was squashed with a game of Apple Banna. But Keith remained pissy for the rest of the night. Woke up this morning to the crappy weather. Wy gained a new word at the breakfast table "icky". Keith got all pissy again this morning. He did get the door slamed when he left this morning.

They are going to possibly cut down their hours at his work down to 32. But no E.T.A when that may happen. But that has happened in the past and has not effectied him.

Also our old day care now may have a spot. Ugh.... do not know what to do on that one.

Hope today will be better.

Home Depot sucks...

Ok so by 10 already went out for breakfast, hit Lowes, and made it home. The plan was to have Leah come over and get her car checked out. Rob did insted. The will be listing their house this week. We will see how long this one takes to sell. During the time Rob was over we got a call from the inlaws. They were bringing the fussy one home. Yes I am glad they took him, but we needed some more time to get things done.

The fussy ones nap time was cut short, he had a bad dream. So we went to Home Depot. A fan we previously looked at was another $20 knocked off. Ok so we were going to take it. But then they found it had scractches on the glass. They checked and the other location in our fair city had one for the same price. So we head over there for the phone call that was made to them said that "oh yes ours is in better condition". We got there and the hell it was. Orange streaks all over the glass and gouges out of the blades and finsh of the fan. So we made the bastard who told us/the other worker that it was good call over to the first store and have them get it ready for us. So after a breif stop to pick up steaks for dinner. Keith droped me and the fussy one off at home and went and picked it up. Well now they could not find the remote that goes with it. After a "chat" with them Keith got anothr $25 knocked off the fan. The other location will have the remote for us and will be picked up tmrw. *sigh* BTW the steaks were only ok.

Now the fussy one is in bed. Another work week starts. *sigh* where did the weekend go?

Gurr awake....

Saturday was the day of maybe's. Original plan was to get the fussy ones hair cut in the northland due to how cheap it is. Called Brenda and she was not in due to a family emergency. This is quiet odd. So then planed to stay home and get fun things done like Menards runs, ect..... Then the in-laws called, so our plans changed again. Went to Menards, put the fussy one down for a nap, and waited for his waking. Thank god he took a long nap. That ment mommy got a nap while Keith had the fun chore of poop scooping in the back yard. That should be mostly safe now....... He woke up and we called the in-laws to see if they wanted the fussy one. For the night before they were mentioning that if he had still been awake when they left, they would of taken him. They said maybe, in their case means 99% yes, and to bring up his stuff. So we did. Made a quick run to Shopko to return some pants and then ended up spending that $ on snacks for the in-laws and butt cream for the fussy one. Also picked up the good blended coffee of North Branch. Made it over and the in-laws and Unkle Mike was happy to see some new food items. They had been out side all day for it is maple syrp time. I would of called Justin and my dad over, but it was ment to be a short visit that day.

On the way home went to the Old Log Cabin and split a dinner and combo basket with Keith. It was nice. Chated about all the things that need to be done to this dump. One more project may of been added to our list for the next two years. Thanks to Obama. Yes blame the president and his ecnomic stimulis package for this one. A good tax rebate of 30% on the money you spend replacing windows for the next two years. And if any one knows us we do have lousy windows. For when the use the builders baisc... well 20+ years pass and they are not doing so well. So this year we may be replacing our door off of our dining room, and the sliding door out to our pourch... or some other windows for each of the next two years. This is going to get a bit costly but when we can get 30% of our $ back. Well it would be foolish. Especialy when it needs to be done any way. Now if they would only give us 30% back to replace our lousy driveway. For blacktop only has a 20 year life and that also has been exceeded. Ah, the joys of home ownership.

Now I am awake on the night/morning we have no fussy one for the daughter and tummy conspired against me. Gurr! This was my day to sleep in. Worst part is, it is way too early to wake the spoused one to go to breakfast. Maybe if it was two to three hours from now. *sigh* No rest for the wicked.

More mud

Dan came over today and did another layer of mud. Yea! One more and it is sand, prime and paint time.

Went to Lets Dish with Debbie, and Sandi. Had fun.

Now exhausted and trying to figure out how to make it up to North Branch. For the fussy one needs a hair cut.

200 mark

So just barely, but I passed the 200 lbs. mark. Not too shocked, did it with the last one. So why would this be any different. All sounded well with the kido. In another 4 wks. I have to go in for the dredded G.D. test. *sigh* Oh well. At least it is after the cadbury mini-egg season.

Getting to the point of pregancy where it is getting hard to deal with work. May the next 3 months go fast.

I am glad that all my scrimping and saving is going to allow me to go to Let's Dish tmrw. I could only do a 4 meal package, but hell better than nothing. And saves me the stress of dinner ideas. I will just be glad when I am done with the work day tmrw.

Sick of it

I am getting so sick of people overextending their selves buying crap then bitching when they have no money for the basics of life. This is actually more that one person. Or how much their life sucks bec. of the spoused one. Get over your self! Stop spending $ on crap! Then you might make it thru the month with out pissing and moaning on how you need food $.

You think life is so easy for me? Not! I have a kid, I have to pay day care, I have to pay for 1/2 house and insurance. All of the insurances! Plus debt payments. Gas for the car. Do you think I like runing around with roots showing, NO! But I do it so we can eat, so the bills are paid.

Sorry for the rant, but hell. Get over your selves people and go get some help.

Glad to have it but work sucks....

My computer is evil today. Keeps having issues that help desk is unable to resolve.

Also 4 more weeks and I will be in 3rd tri. That will make me so happy. Have an appointment tmrw. with the ob. Another thing that will make me happy. Getting a bit mad that I have not had a deposit lately from my FSA. Come on need that $ for other things.

Today is better...

Besides wanting to go back to bed today went ok. Dan came over and put on another layer of mud on the drywall. Only two more to go. Got out of making dinner and people left me alone at work. Now if it could only keep that way for the next few months. Also you may notice a new blog added to my list. It is the kitchen that Dan and Don are currently working on.

That is all for now. Time to find ice cream.

Monday Sucks!

Started out the day with ye old alarm clock going off. It came way too soon. The phone rings. Keith was up but he did not hear it. I had to stumble around the living room to find the phone. For I did not have time to put on the glasses. It was daycare, oh I have to be closed one of my kids is sick. Fine then the panic starts to figure out what to do with the fussy one. Keith stuck around, Wyatt was still sleeping. Made multiple phone calls to our old day care for she dose backup care. That almost took an hour. Luckily she could take him today. Keith left an hour late. Work started out ok... then the window started leaking. So set up a cup and towel to catch the water. Yea. It was coming fast while it was raining. Another problem to add to the list. I am still trying to figure out how to see a friend who had a child and get the time in at work I need. Besides that I will be grading tonight too. Yippie. I am exhausted. Ready for bed. But no rest for the wicked. Also trying to figure out how to get the dog license done. Got the shot. Now just the paper work. Now with as hectick as the morning was I do not know even when Keith is getting home.

Sunday....

So the sheet rock made it up yesterday. Definitely not going to do an intense lilac. Thank you purple rock for making that apparent. Jess yesterday also polluted my poor tv and mind with Nora Roberts. *shudders* good to do a MST3K to. Went to the shower and that was ok. Lasted 5 hours. I won something. A note book. Sam tryed to molest my stomach the whole time she was around.

Today we need to hall the dogs ass to petco to get vaccinated. Hope it happens. Dan is coming back to do the second layer of mud. I have to pick out paint. And rest. Hahahha and also grade. No rest for the wicked I guess.

Progress towards sheetrock!

So some of the plumbing was moved last night. Thank god the reak of of the flux and torch being used is gone. Also got more of the framing done too. Dan is coming back today or tomorrow. And if we are luck the sheet rock will be up. Shit that means I need to pick a paint color. Hummm maybe a faint lilac? For it has to be light. The floor will be grey and the counter black. Hummm. At least some progress is being made. I will be so happy when this project is 90% finished. For this will be one of those projects that can not be 100% done now til we move a wall out side the bathroom. And who knows when that is going to be done. For we are going to remove the pass thru door and put a linnen closet where it is. Then move the bedrooom to the other side of the lower level so you can acess the laundry room. Maybe next winter. For we have to finsh the pourch prior to when our building permit expires on 7-1. And the baby coming.....

Exhausted and snot

So I am exhausted. Wy woke up last night. Went right back to sleep, but still. Then the sinuses have gone to hell again. Debating on if I wait it out or go get more anti-biotics. My appointment is not til the second week of april.

Tonight supposedly the in-laws are coming over to work on the bathroom. Yea work on bathroom, Boo for I will need to try and entertain a bit. I also do not know when Keith will get home today. He had to go from home to Princeton, down to Cottage Grove. Back to Princeton, then back home. All for work. And I am sure if you know some of the major companies in the area you can guess what one.

So I can not plan for dinner even. I know worse things, but when all you want to do is go to bed. It is nice to have some stuff prep'ed.

Progress it may be considered

So the fil showed up. Did not even say hi to me. I don't care if he ever talks to me but a common pleasantry would be nice when you come in to my home. So he took Keith and the fussy one out to dinner while I had to work. They came back just as it was time for me to take a break. No time ever to my self. Then had to figure out dinner for my self. Got some papa johns cheese bread and called it dinner. The vision centre called and my sunglasses are already in. Three days ahead of time. Now just to find the time to get them. Now to have some time to relax..... lol.

Blah

So today is a Blah day. Keep finding my self drawn to another car/truck then what I already have. But needless to say I do not have $14,000.00 for what I want so it will not be happening. Brings me to the fact of I work so hard. Wonder where all the money goes. *sigh*

So many other little things are just pissing me off. Not looking fwd. to the fil's planed visit today. At least I am stuck working the whole time. So he better not bother me.

le sigh....

Sick of this shit....

Ok so today did not go too well. Woke up and people could not make decisions even on breakfast. Had to take charge even though I was exhausted. Fine did it. Then Wy was cranky as hell. He even said yes to being tired. Got him to bed and went to the other target to look for some hiking boots that the other target had on clearance but were out of the size the fussy one needed. Found them and they wanted $2.00 more. But still cheaper than any other shoe. Fine paid it. Found a deal on wipes but called back to the home sted and some one could not tell me the normal size of wipe containers we buy. Fine did not get them. Found a bag I want to get but if some one follows thur with their plan to make me a diaper bag I should not need. So I am torne about that. After finding a few pairs of pants on clearance for the fussy one I left. Came home to find one of the boxes of wipes out side of the fussy ones room. Yeah that would of been a great deal for them, GRRRR! And our target dose not have them. Fine so I left to go to Wal*mart for the fussy one was still sleaping. Had to go to the vision center. Ordered a pair of sunglasses, only reason I did that is I have $ in my FSA that I need to spend. Called Keith and asked him about lunch. Some whineing about Culvers and how he was starving. FINE, I get him a meal. Nothing for me or fussy to save $. Came home and gave him the food. He was very greatful for it. Started making mac and cheese for me. Then the fussy one wakes up just as I was about to eat. Keith steped up to take care of him so I could eat. But the fussy one tried to bother mommy. So they went out side so I could eat. But I was so wound up.... We played out side for awhile then it turned in to mommy takes care of him all day again... and with him being a brat. I just wished that I could of had a bottle of wine or two to help. Then no one could make a decision for dinner. So I ate corn flakes and they ate chicken strips. The only thing that sounded good to me for dinner was the soup, yes soup at olive garden. So I attempted to see if some one was free. But they were not. I guess it was good to save $. The fussy one went to bed ok. Talked to the person I attempted to go out with and they dropped a bomb. Just sick of seeing people self destruct. Then I attempt to fill out the paperwork for my FSA. The website is down. GURR! I know lots of laim whining about little shit. Just when it all builds up, no good. And especially when you can not self medicate. I am just glad that the mil yesterday bought so much for the kids. It helps. Now Keith is working on his car for some bad clunking is occurring. We can not afford for a car to be down. We still need to fix my tranny too. I was also informed that my FIL I do not have time for will be showing up to my home that is a disaster. I will not have time to clean it. For people like me have to work. Then the other FIL and BIL will now be coming over, but the do not know what day of the week that will happen. At least when those two will show it means help with the bathroom. But that will also mean entertaining the MIL and others.... Still need to figure out what bottles we are going with this time since the ones we used last time are no longer sold at target. An on going battle. And need to figure out about the swing situation. Just trying to pick things off the list. Also no luck on finding shoes for Keith or I. I have to try and be happy with the little things that I got done but when more keeps piling up.... GURR! Also I have been attemping to look in to fun things to do with the fussy one like go to Como or indoor play parks. But all that shit closes at 4 pm or 4:30pm. When you are a working parent, like you can do any of that shit. It makes me angry that you either have to take a day off or be a stay at home mom to do this crap. Sorry to say with health insurance and house payment. Don't have a choice of being a stay at home mom. So for that my kid has to miss out on fun things? I would just be happy if they were open til 6 even. Just wondering why I try.
