February 20, 2007 The Surprise test....
Duck has officially said that he hates our doctor. He claims, mind you, claims that her sole purpose in life is to stick him with needles. He is now being tested for TB, so far it looks negative. I'm sure that it will amount to nothing. He is feeling better and I am ready for him to go back to work. We need him to financially.
Happy Birthday to K, sorry I couldn't do anything with or for you today since we are waiting on the results. We'll get together soon.
The BEEF: And I'm not talking about the cow. Duck and I have decided to do the cloth diapers as most or all of you know. NOW, I can't find the next size that I need and I'm being told that they no longer make them. SO, I am going to call Gerber tomorrow and see what the scoop is. I'm very frustrated and when we get our tax check I will be going and buying what stock they do have of the upper sizes. The new Wal-Mart doesn't even carry them.
The Question from the other day: IF you could change one thing in the world right now, what would you alter? - I would alter poverty. I know that there would be ramifications, such as the rich getting richer, but I think that if everyone had a fair shot, that they could at least afford the basic necessities such as basic house, food and a job where they don't have to worry about where their next dinner is going to come from or stress out money so much, I don't think that there would be as much violence. I know that you can't stop everyone from committing money based crimes, such as drug addicts which want the next fix, but I would try to help everyone.
Yesterday's Question: IF you could permanently alter one thing about your physical appearance, what would you change? - EASY - my weight, I would like to be a nice size 8/10.
Today's question: IF you could have stopped aging at any point in your life up to the present, how old would you want to remain? - Again, Easy - 25, the age I am now. I'm old enough to know better, but still too young to care, right? NO, this is a decent age I'm happy and still young enough to do things.
Next Question: IF you could inherit a comfortable home in any city in the wold that you could use but not sell, where would you want it to be?
Well my 2 yr old is being, well 2. Hopefully more tomorrow!
K

February 18, 2007 Irritable....
Today I was irritable. There are a million things that I want to get done, but I have NO motivation to do them. I have been increasingly tired lately, but can't see to sleep. Duck has provided no motivation to get them done or help me by either jumping in or watching the kids. Then when the kids are asleep I want to sleep also. All in all, I can't wait for him to go back to work. I can't keep the house clean with him here, he is worse than 2 two year olds combined. I still love him though.
I'm going to make this short and sweet, Smiley is awake and irritable....
The other day's question: If you could have any room in the world become your bedroom from now on, which room would you choose?
The answer is: I really don't know. I don't do anything besides sleep in my bedroom, I've seen some nice ones on Trading Spaces and in magazines, but I don't really know which one I would pin point. I guess I would just like a bedroom with a walk-in closet and a bathroom.
Today's question: IF you could change one thing in the world right now, what would you alter? Let me think of how to word this one.
I will ask another question today since I missed a day: IF you had to assassinate one famous person who is alive right now, who would it be, and how would you do it? Simple enough - Osama Bin Laden (SP) I would just present him to a group of people he is responsible for injuring or taking the life of a family member. That should do it.
Well I need to go, Sunshine is waiting to twirl my hair and Smiley is waiting to nurse himself to sleep for the 5th time tonight. I DARE ANYONE TO CALL OR WAKE THE BABY UP AGAIN!.

February 17, 2007 And more white stuff again :(
Today we started rearranging the upstairs. We are moving into the small bedroom and moving the boys into the big bedroom. Sunshine will start sleeping in his own bed in his own room. I don't feel that this is going to go well. I'm very attached to the idea of having him next to me. MC which will now be called Smiley - I'll explain later, will still be in our room. We have requested a couch and chair that a family was giving away on freecycle. This will be SUPER since I find it very uncomfortable and hard to nurse in bed. We will put the couch and or chair up stairs. We first have to dig out the truck to go and get it. I'm very excited, we will put them into the garage first and clean them in case the family has pets or smokes. Sunshine has taken to eating sugar out of the sugar bowl, now I have to put it further back since the stinker know how to use his step stool everywhere. Currently it is upstairs because he wanted to look out the window as we were cleaning.
It snowed again today...ARGHhhhhh, I don't like Indiana anymore. I can't wait for spring when I can open my windows during the day and let the fresh air come in and we don't have to pay a HUGE heating bill anymore.
Sunshine ran off with the "IF" book, so I will have to postpone it for today.
Okay, now to Smiley. This morning he decided that he wanted to nurse at 6:30, which was okay, he'd slept for 5.5 hours. So I get up, change him, nurse him for the whole whopping 5 minutes that he is interested before he falls asleep and unlatches. So I burp him, hoping to wake him up so I can get him to eat more and then get some more sleep. Nope, he burps and is still asleep. Okay, I think the myself, two hours of more sleep is better than nothing, so I lay him down. As soon as he hears the click of the strap (he still sleeps best in the swing), he wakes up, looks up at me and Smiles from ear to ear. Then he start laughing and kicking. Kinda like the picture I posted the other day. So I pick him back up and try to nurse him some more, he agrees and passes back out. So I burp him, and he still doesn't wake back up. Then yup, you know what I'm going to say, Click and smiles again. So this time I pick him back up, nurse him, burp him and lay him down with me. Don't get me wrong, I love the smile and the laughs, but I'm exhausted and if he is going to not eat and wake back up in 2 hours, I'd rather get a few more minutes of shut eye. He didn't object at all to being laid next to me, and doesn't wake up until Sunshine shrieks loudly. (happy) I'm going to have another child in my bed soon. Sunshine enjoys falling asleep with us, but upstairs, he seems almost proud to lay in his own bed like a big boy. And trust me, we make a big deal about it, telling him that he is a good boy and a big boy.
Okay, well it's late and I'm very very tired. I'm not getting enough rest as I constantly am waking up again. I do hope this passes, last time it took nearly 3 years to get over, and a lot of Prozac. No I'm not depress, just an insomniac.
By the way, my work out yesterday, WOW, I'm really feeling it. K - what time Mon afternoon would be good for you?
Have a wonderful day tomorrow everyone, and all who decide to travel, be safe. We are going to watch morning mass on the computer from Duck old church. Cheating??? Maybe, but then we don't have to worry about Sunshine making a scene or me nursing in front or behind hundreds of people. I still don't like the looks that I get when I'm doing the best and most natural thing for my child. For goodness sakes it's only a boob.

February 16, 2007 Just another day of white stuff
I went and worked out this morning with K. I had a great workout, I'm sore all over. Which means I did something right. Sunshine is sitting here helping my type, or he is trying to. I'm very happy with some of the progress he is making. He is saying a lot more and eating a lot more apples. He can't wait until his daddy if feeling better, he misses his horse. MC woke up with gunk in his eyes this morning, and he was pretty stuff when we got home. Just par for the weather.
Yesterday's question: "IF you could, in retrospect, change one thing about your childhood, what would it be? - I would change which parent raised me. I think that both my brother and I would both be more successful and in different places if we were raised by our dad. However I wouldn't be who I am today, or have the relationships with my friends/family that I have today if it weren't for how I was raised. That being said, I love my children and husband and wouldn't trade them for a medical degree any day of the week. I'm still young and Duck and I both plan on going to college to further our educations.
Today's question: "If you could have any room in the world become your bedroom from now on, which room would you choose?" Hummm...sounds like I need to find something out about others bedrooms. We just don't use our bedroom for anything besides sleep. Let's see what I can come up with.
Well I'm off to take a shower and get ready for bed. I'm really tired.
Good night and stay warm.

February 15, 2007 The threat....
There is one thing that I hate to do to my husband, and that is threaten him. Today I felt the need to do so. He went to the doctor this morning and came home with two expensive prescriptions. The doc told him it was walking pneumonia. DARN IT. He told me that she wanted to give him a shot in the office and have some blood drawn and a chest xray done. He refused the needles. She said that he couldn't work in a cold environment for 7 days. So since he works in a cold environment, they are more than likely going to send him home and he will ultimately be fired. We can't afford for him to stay home, but we certainly can't afford for him to be fired. I called her back to see if she could do FMLA papers for 3 days so he has a chance to recuperate and start to feel better. She said that she would only be able to do that if he went and got his blood drawn and an xray. So I told him he either goes in for the blood draw, stay home and get better or I was going to call his brother to come over and drag him to the doc on Monday, and they would put him in the hospital. (She also told him that if he wasn't better, he'd be in there Monday) And I told him that if he goes into the hospital it wouldn't be a matter of one or two needles, it would be a blood draw as soon as he got there, a permanent needle (Cath) in his arm for an IV and then a blood draw every day until he got out. So he decided that he would do it if I held his hand. I called the doc back and they sent the paperwork to the hospital.
He then informed me that there was a problem with one of the tires on the car. I went out and looked at it and I have NEVER seen a tire look like that. I may even take a picture to show you how incredibly bad it was. It looks like the belt had blown in at least 4 places. I refused to put the kids in the car, so I had to change the tire in 11 degree weather. BURRRRRR. Ha! I'm not completely a girly girl, but I still won't pluck a chicken. I will be taking the tire back to Walmart, I firmly believe that it is a defective tire and not a road hazard issue. Since we only got this on 9/30/06, they will replace it.
He did really well at the blood draw, she found a huge vain, had to wiggle the needle a little, but he looked away, held my hand and she drew it quickly. She told him to start breathing through his nose and out his mouth since his ears were turning red and he was about to pass out. She was GREAT. He thought she was still drawing, he didn't even realize she was done. He really did good, I'm so proud of him.
Yesterday's question: "IF you could dine alone with anyone form any period in history, which person would it be?" George Washington - I would tell him how screwed up things are now, and make suggestions that could be implemented during his time.
Today's question: "IF you could, in retrospect, change one thing about you childhood, what would it be?"
Okay, well I'm going to take care of my men and get the diapers on their second wash cycle.
Good night to all and stay warm.
