February 05, 2007 Early morning
MC woke up at 4 am and wanted to nurse, then he wanted to play. He was all smiles and coo's for about two hours. Meanwhile, Duck was getting ready for work. I made his lunch and gave him some medicine to take to help him get through the day. He was running a 101. I gave him the option to stay home and go to the doctor, but that would mean that he was going to more than likely have to go to the hospital for an chest x-ray and some blood work. He went to work. I'll see how he feels this afternoon, and he will decide if he needs to go to the doctor or not. She's been pretty busy, so I may either have to take him to a well center or the hospital. It will probably end up being the well check place since it is a cheaper co-pay.
Well I saw that the Colts won last night, that's good. I'm sure that a lot of people had blue fever today. Schools were delayed, partly because of the weather and partly because they felt that children needed to rest in since most people probably watched the Super Bowl. I'm not sure if they total cancelled, I haven't heard the buses go by today.
Well it's off to clean my house, take care of the kids, shampoo the carpets, run the load of diapers, fold the 10 loads of laundry loitering on my kitchen table, run the dishes and do a through clean of the kitchen which has been neglected lately. I know, I know, that is the one place that shouldn't be neglected. Don't worry, it isn't as gross as it sounds, I just need to scrub down the stove and do the floor.
By for now....

February 04, 2007 Still here.
Duck still has a fever, but he must go to work tomorrow. He's now out of points again and can't miss any work. We need the money anyhow. I feel sorry for him, but I continue to re-iterate that he needs to wash his hands before touching his mouth, nose or eyes. This is the result! He says that everyone at work is real sick. MC is more congested today. I've cancelled my exercise date tomorrow, I will do Tae Bo here and clean the house, it's a mess. It is suppose to be really cold and I don't want to take either one of my asthmatic children out in this weather unless I really have to. Sunshine has an appt on the 8th that I may try to reschedule for the following week so Duck can go with me.
Colts - Okay, I'm not a huge fan of sports, but this is a once in a long time event for Indiana. Since I used to live up north and I've met a lot of the players for Indiana, I feel a little more connected than I want to. They are really nice guys. For example, Rick Smits, yes I know he plays for the Pacers or did, he is a family man. He would come into BK all the time with his daughter and son. He drove a purple PT Cruiser and literally had to sit in the back seat. He would also come in at night with his buddies after they had been dirty biking and 4-wheeling. They would be covered in mud and always nice as could be. I guess that goes with the philosophy of, never make the person who is handling you food upset. But they were really nice guys. So, I'm keeping tabs on indychannel.com. 19/14 Colts are up. I do hope that they win!
Ebay - I'm bidding on some breast pads that are washable,I'm tired of throwing the disposable ones away, they cost so much money. I figure if I can get them for the same price I don't have to drive the 45 minutes to get them. Good foreme, if not, I'll be taking a ytrip this weeknd to the southside, since PA doesn't have them anymore. I also need to get one moe thing of diapers, I'd like to have 36, but I will live with 24 for now, I want to get the liners before getting another package.
Well Sunshine wants to see Bob the Builder website, so I must go, he's been good today.
Prayers for T that he makes the right decision for himself and his family in his conquest to search for the truth of life. We love you.
Good night,
Katy

February 03, 2007 Marriage...the....
sacred bond between two individuals who love each other. A bond not to be entered into lightly, a bond that for most doesn't last forever, but for all should. Today I heard from a very distraught friend, whom I consider more of a brother than my own, I consider him more of an important family member than my own mother. He and his wife had a blow out and she left. And though I was shocked and amazed by some of the few details that he gave me, my heart breaks for him. He still loves her, but is so hurt by words and now seems confused. Again, this is just he point of view of one, but I hope that things can be worked out. It is very tough being young and married with children. I was recounting the fights that Duck and I have had, and I must say that I can only count two that were major, one over a cat and the other over race. Don't get me wrong, we have our disagreements, but they are usually in the heat of the moment and don't last more than 2 or 3 minutes. I hate it when we get into a spat in front of Sunshine though, he starts yelling at us, even though we don't know what he is saying. We both try to keep our cool, our voices lower, try not to swear and far most we don't say anything that we don't mean. It is too heard to take it back. I remember growing up, when Jimmy and my mom would fight, it was awful and I never want my kids to go through that. C and I would lay in our beds listening to the fight, the screaming, crying and threats of him throwing her out the window. I would lay there crying, waiting to hear the glass shatter and praying that she would make this the last time we were subjected to hearing another fight. After all, we couldn't understand why two people who fought all the time would stay together, and to this day I can't believe they are still together. I look at it like this, they are saving two other people in this world from misery. I hate to sound negative, I just feel how I feel. I remember one time when I was in Kindergarten, they got into a huge blow out. You see when we lived in Florida he was ALWAYS drunk, later in the years we found out that there was a huge crank and crack problem as well. Anyhow, she threw him out and we ran around the house trying to lock all the windows, well when we realized that we forgot the bathroom window, we ran in there, only to find him looking in. I will never forget his face, it haunts me to this day. That night at some point, a bullet was fired through the stop sign outside our house. C and I believe it was the end of our mother. The next morning when I went to school I apparently told my teacher and she called DFC. DFC made it to our house the day that we were ready to leave FL for Evansville, and they didn't take us kids. I remember speaking to the guy who came out, he asked if we wanted to be taken away from our parents. Number one, what child wants to be taken from it's mother, number two, why would he put it that way? We left FL and I've never been back. My mother was never really around when we were growing up, she was always working longs hours because Jimmy wouldn't work. Granted he was partial disabled due to the fact that he had a hearing problem corrected by hearing aids, and a bum knee from an DD accident. He could walk and there was no reason that he couldn't work. It just interfered with his porn too much. Perhaps the fact that my mother was never around is why I'm so involved with my children. Sunshine has only spent 1 night away from us, and that was only out of need/want for Duck to be at the birth of Christian. I try my best to do everything that I can with my children, I don't want to be the absent mom. I didn't have them to pawn them off on everyone else. After all that has happened to me in my childhood, I refuse to let it make me a victim, I want it to make me stronger, to make me a better person and a better parent. I want my kids to know that I will do my absolute best to protect them, to listen to them when they say something has happened to them, that I love them will all my heart. Anyhow I know that this was a little deep, I'm just blessed that Duck and I have never really gotten into the position that several of our friends and families have. Perhaps he is my true sole mate, that we were meant to be together. I am a very bless and fortunate woman, wife and mother. He may not be a doctor, rich, a model or a genius, but he is the best man that I could have ever married. I hope and wish that everyone were as luck as we are. We just need to make sure that if we are going to disagree, we do it not in front of our children. It is okay for children to sometimes see an small disagreement, but not a shouting match, that only frightens kids and believe me, it hurts them as much as it hurts the two fighting. Kids do not need to see it, or hear it if at all possible. It is till death does us part...I can't see myself finding another man that will every make me as happy as Duck has.
Love, prayers to all...good night
Katy

February 02, 2007 The sicklies....
Well, it has been sickly around our house. MC has got a sever case of congestion AGAIN! Breathing treatments every 4 hours, decongestant drops and lots of sucking out the nose and nursing. Duck has had a 102 for the past 2 days, I told him to stay in bed. I don't know what's wrong with me, but I can't get enough to eat. I'm having to literally stop myself from going back for more, it's like I'm starving all the time. I think it's my time of the month, that would certainly explain a lot. My house has been neglected lately, although not a complete mess, messy enough that I would be embarrassed if someone showed up unexpected. I found out that the load from the hospital computer didn't take and MC's social security card has never been processed. So...I am going to have to go to the Health Department and get the Birth Certificate, then to the Social Security Office and file for the card. It will take 7-10 days to get here, but we can go the next day and get the number if we are ready to file taxes.
I found a patter that I printed out from the internet today to make my own diapers. I am so excited....crazy huh? I want to make changing the diaper easier, even if I spend 3 hours making the diaper to begin with. What else do I have to do. I can work on one a day for a month, then I'll have enough. Hopefully Monday MC is feeling better so I can exercise with my partner. I have re-evaluated my weight and decided that I want to lose 100, no that doesn't mean that I have gained. I just want to be at a lower weight, actually I don't care what weight I am at as long as I can get into my close again that I was wearing when I was 18. And no, they aren't the typical "18 year old" clothes, all my suits and really nice outfit, including my prom dress I wore when I was 18. Sunshine has done NOTHING but TEST me, and I am determined not to lose my cool about it, he is NOT going to WIN, I AM. Okay I feel better. Anyhow, I need to get the clothes changed over, I plan to clean most of the day tomorrow and then sit down and make up a weekly/monthly chart of things that I need to make sure are done, like dusting the very dusty fan blades. I'm also going to see what I can include Sunshine in doing to help. He loves to be with me and to help, so why not! If I make house work fun at a young age, maybe he will not have the same opinion as I do about it. I certainly hope that's what happens. Okay, he's wanting me to play with him since he took a 5 hour nap, he's going to be up all night. I don't want to interfere with him sleeping if he is coming down with what his dad has.
Good night to all!
Katy

January 31, 2007 Fussy day
Sunshine woke up around 6 am. AGAIN. I don't think I'm going to sleep again until they are teenagers. Maybe Duck will let me sleep in on Sat, or at least take Sunshine upstairs with him. We are going to re-arrange the two bedrooms. We are going to put the boys in the master bedroom and put us in the small bedroom. "Why" do you ask??? Because kids need more room than adults. We only sleep in our room. We dress in the bathroom usually, we just don't use a bedroom for much other than sleep. Anyhow, Sunshine was very cranky this morning and I didn't feel like fighting with him at K's house during the workout, so I rescheduled for this afternoon. Well, I got through the first part of the video, then MC cried and I fed him. And Sunshine was crying outside the door. Call me a sucker, but I can't stand to hear a child cry, it breaks my heart. Sometimes I think he knows that, but he was really upset. He is a VERY clingy child and that's okay with me for now, he's only 2.5. We did Yoga today because I have starting to bleed after Tae Bo. At first I just thought it was a fluke, but it's happening every time. I may try to do it this weekend and see if there is a problem still, if so I'll call the doc on Monday. I've gotta loose this weight! It would be sooo much easier if it was Spring, then I could walk with MC and Sunshine to the park and walk around while Sunshine plays. We'll see what happens! I'm going to start doing sit-ups gradually. I think I will start out at 50 3 times a day and then work my way up from there. 50 4times a day, then 5, then 75 5 times a day and so on. I'm also going to start climbing the stairs more often. Every time I need to go up there, I will just go. After every load folded, I'll go immediately up and put the clothes away, this will help me keep my laundry caught up and burn a few calories as well. Anyhow, dinner needs to be stirred and some more put on. More tomorrow.
