For those of you who know... yes... I was going to try and sell Zoey. She was driving me up the wall, and it wasn't fair to her, she's only 1. I just didn't have time, what with everything going on, to try and fix what I didn't like. Like her Barking for one. She is such a good family dog... but when anyone comes over that she doesn't know... the Barking starts, and doesn't stop until she knows that person is miles away from the house. Heaven forbid that person comes in and wants to hold or hug one of the boys. She turns supper protective.<br />
I thought I was either going to have to sell her or just plain give her away. She was "banished" outside where I couldn't hear her... and was only getting visited when I fed her, or D and I needed to do something in the back yard. That's no way to treat a dog. Given that it was only this way after D's second surgery... I knew something needed to change. I battled for a long time with wanting to give her away or not. And I did have a bunch of people interested... I just didn't know. She was my dog. My responsibility.<br />
So yesterday... I decided I needed to change. I took her in to the Dog Groomers in the morning. Got her all nice and cleaned up. I looked on the internet about how to train a Miniature Schnauzer how not to bark. It was down to... Spraying her in the face with water every time she Barked out of line, or, a shock collar. I figured out that I didn't want to have to follow her around with a thing of water... plus I know I'd miss a few times she'd bark and I didn't get her. Her training has to be consistent. So, Bark Collar it was.<br />
Bought fresh new batteries, and when she got home, I put it back on.<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">She's being pretty stubborn about it. But she's old enough to learn. She'll have to.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Took her to the park last night. Figured that I need the walks and so does she. And she about had it. Came home and she threw a fit by trying multiple times to knock over her food bowl... and she didn't stop growling. lol.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">And today I felt bad when my friend came over to drop me of something and she was Barking and Shocking herself... she started crying. I ended up holding her so she'd calm down :( felt so bad. So I decided to look this video up... I'm sure everyone's seen it... now I can kinda guess what she's going threw :( </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">But it has really come down to this... she has to be trained not to bark so much... especially when i know there are going to be people over here a ton when I have the baby. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">She is old enough to understand. She's just so freakin stubborn! My mother-in-law's dog had a shock collar on for just a while... and he got it! My mother-in-law is sure that if I keep up with this collar thing, Zoey will get it sooner or later. On her own time I guess. Ugh. </span><br />

This is how I put Zay down for his Naps now-a-days. He's so cute. He knows that he takes a Nap right after Lunch... I sit down on the bed with him, sing him some Nursery R<span style="background-color: white;">hymes... then he tells me,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">"Ni-night".</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Then he lays down and puts his legs on my legs and says, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">"Feet, feet, feet". </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">So I sing to him and rub his feet until he falls asleep. Which doesn't really take that long.</span></div>

This is his now Fav Movie. He always asks me to watch it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Him and I both know that there are some scary parts, but J knows where all of them are... so he's good about covering his eyes when a scary part comes on. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He also watches out for his brother. He tells me sometimes, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Mom, I want to watch Green Lantern, but Zay is awake. I'll wait till he takes a nap".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He's too cute!</div>

Everyone really liked them. Because we got back kinda late from the Lake, I only had like 45 min to make these <i>and</i> get ready to go. Plus I had to go to the store to buy all the ingredients. So I made the cookies and the dressing and D helped cut up the fruit... We just packed them all up and I made them at the party. I made a whole plate full. And later that night, I had people telling me how good they were. I offered to make more because I brought everything.... and they all said "Yes Please". So I made a whole other plate full. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Over all it was a fun, yet exhausting day. Zay had a few close calls where I had to run out and get him... but he learned, by the end of the day, that he needed to be a little bit more careful when he's in the water. J had such a good time, he cried pretty bad when we were leaving. I think he thinks that we wont go again for a while. But I told him... "J - this is our boat, we can go to the lake whenever you and Dad want to." Then he got all happy again. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #333333; font-size: x-large; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">I'm pretty excited about this Family night, not going to lie. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">***For those who don't know*** </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">D wanted to sale his bike to get something that the family would benefit from more. For the longest time, when we had the bike for sale on craigslist, we said $2500 or trade for a boat. No one would trade a boat with us. Well, not one that we liked anyways... they were always coming up with things that needed a little work. Too much work for us.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #333333; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">But we ended up selling the bike for $2500 to a nice, </span></span><span style="line-height: 20px;">appreciative</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 20px;"> guy a little bit ago.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #333333; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">D's always looking on craigslist, and he found a guy with a pretty nice deal for a boat. D said it wasn't going to last that much longer on craigslist... so we talked about it, and we decided we would get it. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #333333; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">So pretty much we did what we wanted, traded the bike for a boat. D said he prob wasn't going to ride his bike for a while... and why not have something that we could do together as a family. Sure the boys could go on rides one at a time on the bike, but a boat just has so many more possibilities for fun. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #333333; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">All of the other stuff (toys) that D's gotten over the past little while, are nice, but we know we have to sale them soon... but this boat is Ours! </span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #333333; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">We are actually better off with having the boat instead of the bike because we only payed $2000 for it. So we came out $500 on top. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #333333; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">Can't wait till tonight to go try it out. I'm glad though that D's Dad is coming with us... because if something <i>did</i> go wrong... he would prob be a lot more help then some 7+ month pregnant women HaHa.</span></span></span></div>

This is the cake I made for my Grandma's Birthday. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We traveled over to Truckee CA to go spend a Birthday Dinner with her and her two sisters.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a lot of fun. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Except when Zay threw up right when we got there....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Everyone's Sick and an ER Scare...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Little did D and I know... Zay caught the 24 hour flue from the kids at Grandma Roxy's house the day before. So it wasn't too long until J got sick too. The poor guy threw up right when we got home. And then did it again in the middle of the night all over his bed. Threw up the rest of the night too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then it was my turn to catch the bug.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started throwing up a ton. And then I started feeling like I was having contractions.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
D started to get worried so he called his mom over at 4am and we went to the ER.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had drank enough water... but when I threw it all up, I got supper dehydrated.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They had to put an IV in me. 3 bags. They said that if they didn't get my throwing up under control, my body would make me go into serious contractions and have the baby. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I was having contractions, just small ones. And consistent. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had to take 2 shots of Zofran and 1 heavy duty shot in the butt before I started feeling any kind of better.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was able to leave the hospital around 4 that afternoon. With a prescription of 12 hr Zofran.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But I'm doing good now... kinda.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Still feel week and dizzy. I'm trying to drink as much as I can. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now D is starting to feel the bug. He hasn't thrown up yet, but he says he feels sick. I'm hoping he doesn't get it, but if he does, I'm just glad he didn't get sick when I was in the hospital and the boys were at home sick too. </div>

Things are stressful at the house. I think this is the longest D has been forced to watch the kids without my help. He's not that use to dealing with them as I am, so when I hear him yelling, I wonder if that's what I sound like all the time to him. I don't dare correct him when he's disciplining the kids because I know that will just make him even more upset. I feel bad... makes me want to get better sooner. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But I'm thankful D is doing a good job with the kids in the situation we're in. He's still hurting a ton. Says he knee spikes and pinches a lot. Now more then ever because he's getting up a lot more then he's use to, having to chase the kids around and stuff. </div>

UGH, I'm tired of the trials and tribulations! Seems like one thing right after the other.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">But I shouldn't complain too much... at least we have had help when we needed it. Better these things happen here where we have family and friends that are reliable enough to come to our aid, rather then back where we had no family... I don't want to even think about what could of happened to us under the same circumstances. </span></div>

This is the cake I made for the 4th. Made home made Buttercream frosting. SOO GOOD! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
AND...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My first Fondant Roses!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm happy with the way they turned out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The cake got eaten up pretty fast. D doesn't normally like cake. (I switched making cakes for his birthday to pie and ice cream). Anyways, he had 2 huge slices! Says he loved the frosting. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Funny story:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we went to go see the fireworks, we just left right from the house... so we brought the left over cake. I ate a little on the way to where we were going to watch them. So, we were sitting down in the back of our jeep waiting for the fireworks... D comes walking over with the left over cake and starts eating it. He almost would have finished it off if I hadn't said anything. But when he got up, the rest of my awesome cake rolled off the plate :( And then, he put the roses and cardboard plate on the top of the car while we watched the fireworks. Guess who forgot to take them down when we left. lol</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I can't reuse the flowers for the cake I'm going to make today. I wasn't going to use them anyways, but I Could have tee hee</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I love Zays hair. Too bad I know the real reason why his hair sticks up like that. It never does that when JUST water is on it. With 8 kids being in that water, and only half of them being potty trained....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ya, I guess you can say that there's deff something in the water that makes it stand up like that. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The boys played all day. Swimming, and then a fun game of baseball. BBQ and <span style="background-color: white;">watermelon. Little fireworks and Poppers... and then the Big Fireworks. </span></div>

When I think about it, it seems like I've been pregnant forever! Ugh!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think it's funny that we're going to have all our kids in September.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Reason 1:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(He's gotten way better about this) Every time D would say the months of the year, he would skip September. haha Now he can't ever forget that month.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Reason 2:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My brother-in-law asked me why it would be such a bad thing that 2 of our kids were born in the same month. I always told him, it's because of my Mom instilling it in my head that every kid should have their own Birthday Month. Where we only think about that one person, make it special n' all. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Reason 3:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My Mom. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because she thinks that every kid should have their own Birthday Month. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
HaHa</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now it's kind of a joke. Having all the kids in September.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The same Brother-in-law told D and I:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"You guys better start finding out another way to celibate New Years."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thought that was pretty funny.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
A few weeks ago, Zay figured out how to open all the doors in the house. Life got to be too frustrating. He was getting in the new baby's room, standing on the computer table, messing around with things, and making a mess. Also he was getting into both bathrooms. Taking any toothbrush he could find and biting it until it was so messed up I had to buy another one. And the worst part... he's in this stage where he likes taking off his diaper. If he pees a little, it's off. If he poops at <i>all, </i>it's off and on the floor.<br />
He's even taken off a diaper that I thought he'd only peed it and given it to me. I changed him into a new one and then a day later, found out that he had pooped in the diaper also and had taken it out and left it in the room. UGH! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So, today, I had enough! I was tired of getting him in trouble. Spankings and timeouts. I told D that I know we are in a $$ crunch here, but I need to buy a baby door lock. No matter what it cost. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I had to take Zay with me to Walmart because it's hard for D to watch and control both of them. So, he was actually pretty good. Went to the baby section and found this....</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Halle-frikin-lujah! It was only $3.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
haha</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After we found this, there wasn't anything else I needed to do, so Zay and I just cruising around lookin at different stuff. Then we grabbed two of those Pina Colada drink yogurts for our lil snack, and went to go check out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On our way out, I saw this older lady sitting down on a bench. She said, "What a beautiful baby boy". So I drove the cart over to her so that she could see him. Zay just stared her trying to figure her out. She said, "Awe, look at him. He's just trying to see if I'm trustworthy enough to talk to". I told Zay to say Hi and blow kisses. She said, "You know what you need to do young lady? I have a son who's 60 and every day I told him that he was a smart boy. And now he's a Lawyer." I said that I will. She then touched my arm and told me that I'm a very lucky lucky women to have a son like him.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I felt kinda bad because I was only in the store in the first place to punish the lil buy with buying door locks hahaha. But I am lucky. He is a good boy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then Zay was being all cute. He saw some sunglasses and kept saying, "Eyes, eyes, eyes". I let him try on a pair :)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When we went home I put the locks on. I was playin with the boys in that I was doing an evil laugh every time I put one on. (teehee) Zay was even evil laughing too. Little did he know. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Boy did he get mad when he couldn't open the doors. Haha. He came around the corner into the kitchen saying, "Mommy, help me, help me!" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Problem solved!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
J even got a little upset because he couldn't open the door either.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I guess he was a Pasteur or something. He buys motorcycles, details them, and then re-sales. All the money he gets from them he donates to his church. D says he was a nice guy, but no sale. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now we have someone else coming from Carson with a cashiers check to buy the bike tonight!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope this one's serious!</div>

Nice day at the park. But a pretty hot one. For me anyways. I wish I could have lasted a little longer so that the kids could play more. But my toes were swelling, and I was getting light headed. I was drinking a lot of water, but when the water started getting hot, it was hard to want to drink it lol. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Things worked out ok though. J went with his cousins to go play in the pool, while I took Zay home for his nap and for me to lay down in a cooled down house for a while. Now everyone's home, relaxing, falling asleep, watching a movie and such. </div>

I still have to go hand out my Visiting Teaching message that my partner buys every month. Return a red box because I forgot to do it yesterday. Then D wants to start painting the Sand rail when it gets cooler tonight.

These are NOT new toys. Heaven knows that we cant be spending all this money... but <i>both</i> the Sand Rail and the Mini Chopper have things wrong with them mechanically wise... we got them for unbelievable prices... and now D's going to fix them up and re-sale them. (ASAP) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
J's just loving this though lol. Him and Zay get so excited when Dad and Papa are working on them, reving them up and all. I'm just parying that they sale fast... because our $$$ is running low now-a-days. </div>Amberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02772729747753686985noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1581102917031644631.post-90487600775884065112012-06-23T14:08:00.001-07:002012-06-23T14:08:31.996-07:00<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">I'm really excited about this one. How cool would this be? This is the Boy's </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">favorite</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"> movie... if they could go to a place and see real life size dragons like this?!? They'd go crazy!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This show is playing everyw<span style="background-color: white;">here, and they are going to be in </span><span style="background-color: white;">Sacramento</span><span style="background-color: white;"> CA Jan 2 - Jan 6. And I think that if we plan a head, save up some $$, and save the date... we'll be able to make it. Maybe even get the VIP tickets, if I stay on the ball and look out for them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
With the VIP tickets, you get a guided backstage tour with the Dragon Expert, who will show you all of the dragons. Have Hiccup and Astrid welcome us in person, and all of the other stars of the show before they start the show. Plus we would get reserved seats. A professional picture in whatever costume we would want with the family. A 3D poster and a gift bag. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
J would just have a hay-day if we could really do this.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And another good thing is that it is in January. Gives me enough time to heal up after having the new baby. And she'll be old enough to be baby sat or we could even take her. Zay will be old enough to know what's going on, and D will be all healed.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I really hope we can make this happen. It would be one heck of a memory for they boys... and Mom & Dad.</div>

<br />
I just had to draw this up... all because of last night. It's not an opinion, it's what happens. (I'm talking to you D.) Ha ha. Now that I look at it, it's kinda funny. But when it's happening... I go a little crazy! I'll list out what's going on:<br />
<br />
<b>1.</b> When we first go to be. Cuddle time.<br />
<i><span style="color: blue;">Mood </span></i>- Happy and Comfortable<br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> <b>2.</b> Now it's time for bed. We get our own space, settle in and go to sleep.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> <span style="color: blue;"> <i>Mood</i></span> - Happy and Comfortable</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> <b> 3</b>. D decides he wants to cuddle again. I'm already on my 3-4 flip over because the baby's moving.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> <span style="color: blue;"> <i>Mood</i></span> - Sleepy and Comfortable</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> <b> 4.</b> I cave in and start to cuddle back.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> <span style="color: blue;"> </span><i><span style="color: blue;">Mood</span> </i>- Happy and Comfortable</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> <b> 5.</b> Middle of the night, J has monsters in his room and wants to sleep with Mom and Dad.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> <i><span style="color: blue;">Mood</span></i> - "Ugh, not again. Tell him he can sleep on the couch", because I know where this is going</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> <b>6.</b> J goes in on D's side because he knows I'll kick him out of the room.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> <i><span style="color: blue;">Mood</span></i> - Still ok. I have the same amount of room and J always goes right back to sleep</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> <b>7.</b> D and J spread out a little, get their own space, and go to sleep. I'm on my 6-8 flip.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> <i><span style="color: blue;">Mood</span></i> - Still ok. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> <b>8.</b> Zay decides he doesn't want to sleep in his and J's room alone, starts to climb in bed with D.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> <i><span style="color: blue;">Mood</span></i> - Kind of upset. I tell D to make them go to bed, but he's out of it and lets him in too</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> <b>9.</b> D, J, and Zay cuddle for a while, I turn over because I know what's going to happen next.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> <i><span style="color: blue;">Mood</span></i> - Still upset... but I try and get back to sleep</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> <b>10.</b> Zay never goes back to sleep. He thinks it's time to wake up. He comes over to me and starts kissing and smooching me. I can't get mad at him because he's being so sweet.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> <span style="color: blue;"> <i>Mood</i></span> - Obligated to give into his cuteness</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> <b>11.</b> I try and put Zay back to sleep. I cuddle with him for a while. But then give up and figure that maybe if he sees that I'm sleeping, he will go to sleep too.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> <span style="color: blue;"> <i>Mood</i></span> - Very Tired and my back starts hurting from flipping so much (9-10 flips)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> <b>12.</b> Now D wants to cuddle again and try and help me by putting Zay on the other side of him.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> <span style="color: blue;"><i>Mood</i> </span>- I'm starting to get no space. Can't sleep. Starting to get very </span><span style="background-color: white;">irritable</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> <b>13.</b> I tell D that I need to sleep. I point out how much room I have. He tells me I don't know what I'm talking about. He gets a little upset because I don't want to cuddle anymore and he lays on his back, ignores my complaints, and goes back to sleep.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> <i><span style="color: blue;">Mood</span></i> - Angry and upset. Uncomfortable. Back is hurting. Lost count of flips</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> <b>14. </b>I finally lay on my back because of the lack of room. I look over at everyone else sleeping... all in their own space. And I just freak out.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> <i><span style="color: blue;">Mood</span></i> - "I'm going to go sleep in the crappy other bed... I'm so done...I can't sleep... Ugh!"</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">And then I pass out from exhaustion. Then when I wake up, everyone wonders why I'm not in the Best kind of mood. It's hard for me to get out of that mind set. Especially when after going through all that, I have to get up at 6-7 because Zay is done with sleeping, and if I don't get up, two things could happen:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> I ask D if he can just be out in the living room watching him, and D gets all upset because he doesn't want to and his leg is hurting him. But he does do it. Probably more then he should :)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> Or.....</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> D and I try and wait it out... stay in bed and let Zay go wild. Zay gets into our bathroom, finds my toothbrush, (no matter where I hide it) and sucks and chews on it. Throws things into the toilet... and gets into all my stuff. So I'm then forced to listen to D yelling at him to stop. I then get over the fact that I'm not going to get any more sleep and D doesn't want to get up that morning... </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">So I get up, Put on a movie till 8. Then make breakfast and try to make it through another day. </span><br />
<br />
LoL<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">All I've got to say is that something has to change. Because when I have the new baby, and she's sleeping in our room, I can't have the boys coming in, in the middle of the night. Being loud and keeping me more awake then I'm already going to be... what with getting up every so many hours to feed their little sister. O my. I really don't see how people have more then 3 kids. I can't even imagine 3 right now! I applaud you all!</span>Amberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02772729747753686985noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1581102917031644631.post-30570195551206799132012-06-22T20:43:00.002-07:002012-06-22T20:44:19.066-07:00Ok, so today has been an in between kind of day.<br />
I worked outside. Cleaning it up so that the boys could have their cousins come over sometime and swim. My back is killing me. But at least the back looks good now.<br />
<br />
Some funny stuff has happened today too.<br />
Like I totally pulled a Pregnant Brain move. I was going to put my cup away. Still had ice and water in it. Walked over to the sink, and I pored it all in the trash! haha<br />
<br />
J and I went to the store tonight to get a few things we needed for dinner... he kept pointing at things that he wanted and eventually I said, "No way Hosay". And he just looked at me funny and said, "I'm not Hosay!".<br />
haha<br />
<br />
In other news... we've been trying to sale D's bike. It's crazy. We've got nothing yet, no one calling that's interested. D says that there's just too many bikes on craigslist. So now he's looking at things to trade for. Thinking that if he trades his bike for a boat or a sand rail, that those will sell faster then his bike. He e-mailed a guy today about a this 4 seater sand rail.......<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The guy called him today saying that he's interested in trading. D's hopeful, and thinks that if we do trade, he can sell this for way more and faster then his bike would ever sale. I just hope we get some money coming in. Things are getting a little sketchy.... All I can say is that I'm glad we're having another baby shower for this little girl... because if we didn't, she'd be wearing all of her older brothers baby cloths. I guess she can wear all the whites, yellows, and greens right? haha</div>

<br />
Boy, if I don't start calming down... I'm going to have this lil' girl early! I think I'm letting myself get way too stressed about every little thing. I'm tired of being the grumpy mom who yells a little too much sometimes. I think I need to learn some inner peace poses. Do a little Yoga when I feel like I can't take it anymore. Announce that, 'Mommy Needs a Time Out!', and go in a room where it can just be me...take a few breaths... and then when I'm ready, head back into the circus that is my life right now haha.<br />
It's really not anyone's fault. The boys are acting up because they know Dad is home, in the room... but he can't have them jumping on him, so they're not allowed in. So, they act up. And I'm trying to get things done around the house and take care of them and D. I don't have a ton on time to play. And when I do, I can't do it for long cause I start hurting. I get frustrated when the boys get frustrated. And then I might snap a little bit at D, and then that puts <i>him</i> in a bad mood. Then when he's <i>out</i> of the room, he snaps at the kids. And I get upset that he did. And I snap at the kids and him. Then the kids act up again. <br />
It's a messed up Circle of Life kinda thing.<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">I'm not saying that every day is bad. Just that when a bad day comes around... it don't play around.... it's a bad one. I just have to remember that things won't always be this </span><span style="background-color: white;">stressful</span><span style="background-color: white;"> and that the temper tantrums, the whining, the </span><span style="background-color: white;">grumpiness</span><span style="background-color: white;">, and the tiredness </span><i style="background-color: white;">will</i><span style="background-color: white;"> pass. (I hope) And the boys <i>do </i>have their good days where they are both really sweet to me. And D. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">I've just got to get a handle on my emotions a little better, so that when things get even more stressful (when I have the baby) I can better deal with things. It seems like when ever I am upset, stressed, or when I let me being tired make me grumpy, everyone else starts acting the same way. So maybe it's me. It probably is. So from now on, I'll try and be a little bit more happy. A little less tired. And a lot more loving and understanding. I'm not the only one going through something here. J, Z, and Dad are too. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Wish me luck</span><br />

I have to go in for my 7 month pregnancy 2-3 hour glucose test today. Ugh! I hate this doc visit. I'm going to have to scrounge up a good book or something. Last time I forgot to bring anything and I was bored out of my mind. lol. Welp, wish me luck. I hate getting my blood drawn that many times :/</span>
</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;">I just hope that I pass this time. I know I will. They said I didn't have to fast, just not to eat anything with a ton of sugar in it... but I pretty much fasted anyways. Just because, last time... I failed because I forgot what appointment it was. Had to come back on another day and drink a brown drink with 100gs and stay extra long. With J, I was fine. But only because I forgot, I had to do the second test. I really hope that doesn't happen this time!</span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;">It's good I have such flexible friends. Cause I needed someone to watch the boys while I went in. Didn't want D to have to worry about taking care of them for that long. It wears him out too fast. Plus he's sore from what ever he did yesterday. So he's been chillin in the bed with the computer... I just snagged it from him for a while so I can post.</span><br />

I just figure that at one time or another, I have to except that there's going to be more Purple and Pink in my life. It's going to be interesting adding another girl into this family. Maybe this is just what I need. A girl in the family to keep me sane. I've see what not having a daughter in the house and only boys does to a mom.... (My crazy Mother hahahaha) All I can say, is that this little girl is going to be spoiled. What with being my parents 1st grand daughter. My Grandma is already telling me things like she needs to go to the store and buy me everything girl she can. haha.<br />
This is going to be a good thing. Can't wait till Lil' Anna gets here.<br />
Her color theme I'm doing her room is baby purple.... it's better then pink lol. Don't think I can go <i>that </i>girly yet LoLAmberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02772729747753686985noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1581102917031644631.post-56188392008197884952012-06-18T09:41:00.001-07:002012-06-18T09:41:40.904-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The Poem inside says:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Walk a little slower, Daddy!" said a little child so small.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"I'm following in your footsteps and I don't want to fall.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes your steps are very fast, sometimes, they're hard to see;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So walk a little slower Daddy, for you are leading me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Someday when I'm all grown up, you're what I want to be. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I will have a little child who'll want to follow me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I would want to lead just right, and know that I was true.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, walk a little slower, Daddy,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for I must follow you!!"</div>

I love that you're so nice, and sweet. You've looked out for me my hole life. Tried to keep me from turning out to be a Rotten Lil Girl. Even though you always call me "Stinker". I love how you're so nice to mom... I always seem to get text from mom that you gave her flowers or candy or just some out-of-the-normal treat. I'm a lucky girl to have such a great dad like you. I know there must have been days when you couldn't stand me haha.... now that I know how hard raising kids can be... I can just imagine what a handful I must have been. But, <i>I</i> think I turned out alright. I hope I've made you proud. I miss you and mom, and wish we could see you more. Can't wait till you come visit when the new baby arrives. Love you so much Dad! Happy Father's Day!</div>

I'm sorry about the cereal breakfast. haha. Your Father's Day dinner will be much better. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love you with all my heart. I'm sorry I've been so stressed out and grumpy lately. Really, I pray every night now and ask for help to try and be a better mother and wife the next day. But I am trying. I could make a list of everything I love about you, but I don't think I have enough time to... before we have to go to church. So, I'm just going to tell you I LOVE YOU, even though I hope you already know that I do. With all my heart. You're the one for me. And I don't think I'd survive without you here to love me back.

They're both so cute. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Why couldn't they have been this good <i>all</i> day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't even want to start to blog all that has happened today. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got way too stressed out, kinda took it out on my kids... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I even put Zoey on craigslist. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
haha</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Already have someone interested in her. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not sure if I'm even serious about wanting to get rid of her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But that's how frustrated I was today. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I should have known that today was going to be a<i> "crappy"</i> day because yesterday was such a good one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(That's more literal than you'd think)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But that's how things normally go around here. Good one day, then you can expect the next day to be bad. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Circle of life kinda thing. </div>

I'm not one to pat myself on the back all the time... but I think I did a pretty good job at being a Mom today.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well... I don't want to say I have a reason to be kind of a slacker... (being pregnant, having 2 kids 3 and under, and a broken husband... it can wear you out so fast)... cause I can't really afford to. Need to step it up a little bit and put on my Wonder Women outfit and get things done. Ha ha.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All I'm saying is that compared to the me a few weeks ago, I think I'm doing better.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dishes are done. The house is clean, most of the time. I'm caught up on laundry. I've been making better meals like I use to before all this Leg/Pregnancy/Moving into a New House thing started.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And today...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Zay got up at 6am this morning. And normally I just slum around and beg him to watch a movie as I try and get a little bit more sleep on the couch while he watches it. And at the same time... pray that J wants to sleep in that morning. Ha Ha.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made a pretty good breakfast.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Didn't get frustrated with the boys that much.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Made BLTs for lunch. Doritos, and yogurt too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Was going to try and do something simple for dinner. Tomato soup and grill cheese sandwiches. But ended up not having the cheese for it. So I remembered we had chicken breasts, so I grilled them up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They turned out pretty good. And this was only my 2nd time grilling Ha Ha.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Was planning on making this Praline Key Lime Pie tomorrow, but I wanted to be able to share it with another family... but they're gone for the weekend. So I'll just have to wait, cause I don't think my little family will eat it all. I'll try and remember to take a pic of the one that I make. I'm excited because it says there is a almond, or some kind of other nut and caramel layer in between the crust and the key lime. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mmmmmm</div>
