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!

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.

5 more posts in one
February 14, 2007 Valentine's Day.
Well, not a lot going on here today. I boasted the other day that Duck and I don't get into arguments, and today we got into a little spat. He doesn't feel well, won't go to the doctor and I can't seem to get away from one child or the other without tears being shed for 15 or more minutes. Usually it comes with screaming as well. Anyhow, quick spat and it's over. He stayed home today, the car was stuck. I'm calling the doctor in the morning to see if we can possibly get him in. He has stopped running a fever, but he is now having problems breathing and significant chest pain.
I got bad news today on top of having a crappy day. My uncle has been diagnosed with brain cancer. I found out in April last year that he had prostate and lung. He did so well in fighting, but now it is in his brain and affecting his motor and process functions. I will pray for him everyday. My aunt is keeping good spirits, as much as one possibly can, but I pray for her also. Shortly after I got that call I realized that my cake had been in the oven for almost 2 hours and it still wasn't done. Thank goodness I got my lasagnas done earlier. My oven stopped working. I'm going to try to track down the part and pick it up tomorrow if it isn't too expensive. If so, it will wait until we get our tax check and I will use the slow cooker and bread maker for now.
Yesterday's question: "If you could alter one physical characteristic of your mate, what would you change?" I would alter his eyes to make him see better. He was born 3 weeks preemie and ended up having a near fatal reaction to his formula which, as the were told, had a huge impact on his vision. He can only see out of one eye, with limited vision. I would give him his full sight.
Today's question: "IF you could dine alone with anyone from any period in history which person would it be?"
Okay, I'm leaving you on a happy note, even though you will see it first. Here is a picture of MC. Sunshine tried to pick him up today twice, I'm glad but scared at the same time. I am keeping a more watchful eye.
PS: K - please remind me to send you pics if I forget to do so tomorrow.
Good night,
K

February 13, 2007 The white STUFF
First I'd like to start out with the question from yesterday: "If you could have an elegant dinner alone with anyone presently alive, whether you know them or not, who would you want it to be?" Sappy as this may sound, my husband, but I don't want us to be alone. We don't so much without our children, however it would be nice to eat one meal that is hot without nursing first. That's the funny thing about babies. I'll start dinner and about 15 to 20 minutes left Duck will finish it. I will nurse MC and hope that he doesn't want to eat again until after I'm done. BUT it never fails, as soon as I bring him into the dining room he wakes up when he smells the food and wants to eat again. That's okay, this will pass.
Today's questions is a little touchy: "If you could alter one physical characteristic of your mate, what would you change?" OH BOY and right before Valentine's Day. Hum...I'll have to think about this one.
It sleeted since before this morning at 8 am until after 2 when the boys and I laid down for a nap. Now there is a lot of snow and they just let Duck go home early since the roads were bad. It is really bad here, Duck had to park by the garage and slid into that position.
I had Rice Soup and Grilled Cheese for dinner. It was good, I just put Soy Sauce in with it and it makes it DELICIOUS.
Anyhow Duck is home now, and we are going to settle into a nice warm (inside) evening.
Stay Warm!

February 12, 2007 By the way
I had a WONDERFUL workout today with K, it was short, but a great workout. She picked up some new workout videos and they are great. I can't wait until Wednesday, if the snow isn't too deep. I will try to do Tae Bo tomorrow. Duck also brought in my ab thingy and I'm going to start doing my crunches. There was a part on the video today that I just couldn't do, even after she positioned me, I didn't get the work out that she said I was suppose to be getting. It must be a problem with the gravity...my mid and upper section not allowing me to properly lift my hips. Or just a first time...maybe I'll get it Wed.

February 12, 2007 More snow is on its way
As I'm sitting here eating a Hostess Cupcake (yeah I know, what about the work out I did today...) I was thinking of my grandmother who is in a nursing home. I read a message from a fellow freecycler and it talked about how lonely it was in nursing homes. I need to go and see her again. I screwed up with Larry, it was always, I'll go see him tomorrow, well tomorrow came after he died on my birthday and the funeral was a few days later. That wasn't how I wanted to see him. I never got to tell him again that I loved him. He was a very close and dear friend's father. He treated me like his daughter. We all have our regrets about not seeing someone when we thought we didn't have the time.
Anyhow, back to the topic at hand...more crappy white stuff! Arggggghhhhhh. You know, when I was in school I would pray for snow every night before bed. When I was young I would wish for snow, and it would inevitably snow. When I was 6, the only thing that I wanted for Christmas was snow, and sure enough, on Christmas Day we got flurries....Did I mention that we were living in Tampa Bay, Florida? Yup it snowed. From that point on they threatened to send me to the Sierra Desert if I wished for it again. Well now, I HATE having to go out in it. I don't want it to snow anymore. Ever since my near death (like my life literally flashed before my eyes while the semi nearly ran over my car with both Sunshine and I in it) I hate it. I don't want it to snow. But then I hate the heat also. Humm...sounds like I need to quit complaining and go on with life. It could be worse, we could be living in Parish New York where they now have 11 feet of snow, yes I said feet. Well we are suppose to be getting between 7 and 11 inches tonight.
Yesterday's Question: "If you had to eliminate a single type of animal forevermore, which would you choose?" Answer: RODENTS - I'm not sure of what great significant they are to our world. They carry rabies and other nasty diseases. Weren't the once responsible for an outbreak of the plague? Bye, bye rodents. Wanna hear a story. Well it all starts with me sitting on the pot, yes I was using the potty and Duck walked in to ask me something or what not. Shortly after he opened the door, in runs this horrible little gray mouse and runs under the washer. What is one to do while sitting on the pot? I did what any other woman in my situation would do, I lifted my feet off the air and screamed that the top of my lungs. Yet again, another reason not to go to the potty with the lights out. Do you know the #1 reason? I was once watching this special on Rescue 911, a show that I used to watch when I was much younger. Anyhow, this little boy ran in to his mother and kept saying snake, and she didn't believe him. Finally she decided to show him that there wasn't a snake, and she went into the bathroom where he was leading her. He pointed at the toilet and she lifted, well guess what? There was a huge Boa coiled up in her toilet bowl. This was in fact a real event that actually happened. Someone in the apartment building had this huge snake and it got out. I slithered it's way into the toilet and through to several toilets in the building. It finally died after everyone had dumped so much Drano in the toilet to get the pipes unclogged. They had to rip out the woman's wall and pull it out of the plumbing. I NEVER go to the potty if I can't see what is going on. Ever notice that I have candles in my potty in case the power goes out? Yup!
Today's "IF" Question: "If you could have an elegant dinner alone with anyone presently alive, whether you know them or not, who would you want it to be?" Josh Lucas comes to mind....I'll let you know what I decide tomorrow.
It looks like tomorrow's question could get me into trouble....hum.
Well both boys are in bed, my doc canceled my appt for tomorrow, which SUCKS. Not to give you too much information, but Valentines Day is coming up and I was hoping to have Oh-LaLa for the 2nd time in 5 months, but guess not. BUMMER. Well now the kitty wants to go out, and I want to get the living room picked up and the dishes ran before I lay down. I may even try to catch a nice warm bath. Good night to all, and stay warm!
Katy

February 11, 2007 Quiet....
All three of my favorite men are asleep, one on the couch, one on a toddler mattress on the floor and one in the swing. Peace! I will blog and then straiten up the kitchen from lunch and get Dinner in the oven.
As for yesterday's question: If you could have lived through any war in history (without actually fighting in it), which would it be?........The civil war. As an American I believe that it was one of the most important wars in our history. We united all man, white, black, brown, orange and green to be created equally. Granted it took some time after that to get almost everyone on board, but we have some very profound black individuals in our world today...Colin Powell, Condalessa Rice and many others. We have the movie Glory which shows a portrayal of the war, and we have Remember the Titan which show how the hardships of joining black and whites in one school. We also have American History X, which if you have not seen it, I must warn you, it is very ummm...how do I put it? It is about a guy who was in a group for White Power and he went to prison and how it changed his life from hatred to understand the world around him. It IS NOT a movie that we watch when Sunshine is awake for it is a movie that I feel only adults should watch. It is eye opening at the hatred that still exists, but how people can change. Hummm...okay, well on to today's question.
"If you could eliminate any one type of insect permanently from the earth, what would you get rid of?" Well I already know my answer. The one insect beside a roach that I hate. And granted I never really grew up with roaches since my mother was a pest control tech most of my life, I pick the mosquito. They do so much harm....they bite you, suck your blood and leave this bump that itches. And if you are like me, you can't quit itching it and it becomes a scab and then you pick at it and it becomes a scar. They cause Parvo in dogs and now they are carries of the West Nile Virus. I would eliminate them completely. I often times wonder if they can carry and transmit the West Nile Virus, why the can't carry or transmit AIDS. Things that make me go....hum..... AIDS, now there is a disease along with Cancer that I'd want to get rid of. I'm sure that is a "IF" question down the road. I've never been effect or knowingly in contact with an AIDS or HIV patient, but I'm sure that it can effect a person/family just like cancer and I've had my fair share of that in my family.
So should I go to the next question??? Why not....
"IF you had to eliminate a single type of animal forevermore, which would you choose?" Assuming that they mean "type" as in species ie: feline, canine, etc. I'll have to think about this one.
Okay, well I'm off...more tomorrow.
By the way, anyone who reads this, I have a coupon off for $2.00 at Jiffy Lube that I can print or mail to you. Proceeds go to the La Leche League of Indiana. I person think that it is a wonderful group that offers support, guidance and a few ideas for nursing moms.

They carry rabies and other nasty diseases. Weren't the once responsible for an outbreak of the plague? Bye, bye rodents. Wanna hear a story. Well it all starts with me sitting on the pot, yes I was using the potty and Duck walked in to ask me something or what not. Shortly after he opened the door, in runs this horrible little gray mouse and runs under the washer. What is one to do while sitting on the pot? I did what any other woman in my situation would do, I lifted my feet off the air and screamed that the top of my lungs. Yet again, another reason not to go to the potty with the lights out. Do you know the #1 reason? I was once watching this special on Rescue 911, a show that I used to watch when I was much younger. Anyhow, this little boy ran in to his mother and kept saying snake, and she didn't believe him. Finally she decided to show him that there wasn't a snake, and she went into the bathroom where he was leading her. He pointed at the toilet and she lifted, well guess what? There was a huge Boa coiled up in her toilet bowl. This was in fact a real event that actually happened. Someone in the apartment building had this huge snake and it got out. I slithered it's way into the toilet and through to several toilets in the building. It finally died after everyone had dumped so much Drano in the toilet to get the pipes unclogged. They had to rip out the woman's wall and pull it out of the plumbing. I NEVER go to the potty if I can't see what is going on. Ever notice that I have candles in my potty in case the power goes out? Yup!
Today's "IF" Question: "If you could have an elegant dinner alone with anyone presently alive, whether you know them or not, who would you want it to be?" Josh Lucas comes to mind....I'll let you know what I decide tomorrow.
It looks like tomorrow's question could get me into trouble....hum.
Well both boys are in bed, my doc canceled my appt for tomorrow, which SUCKS. Not to give you too much information, but Valentines Day is coming up and I was hoping to have Oh-LaLa for the 2nd time in 5 months, but guess not. BUMMER. Well now the kitty wants to go out, and I want to get the living room picked up and the dishes ran before I lay down. I may even try to catch a nice warm bath. Good night to all, and stay warm!

February 11, 2007 Quiet....
All three of my favorite men are asleep, one on the couch, one on a toddler mattress on the floor and one in the swing. Peace! I will blog and then straiten up the kitchen from lunch and get Dinner in the oven.
As for yesterday's question: If you could have lived through any war in history (without actually fighting in it), which would it be?........The civil war. As an American I believe that it was one of the most important wars in our history. We united all man, white, black, brown, orange and green to be created equally. Granted it took some time after that to get almost everyone on board, but we have some very profound black individuals in our world today...Colin Powell, Condalessa Rice and many others. We have the movie Glory which shows a portrayal of the war, and we have Remember the Titan which show how the hardships of joining black and whites in one school. We also have American History X, which if you have not seen it, I must warn you, it is very ummm...how do I put it? It is about a guy who was in a group for White Power and he went to prison and how it changed his life from hatred to understand the world around him. It IS NOT a movie that we watch when Sunshine is awake for it is a movie that I feel only adults should watch. It is eye opening at the hatred that still exists, but how people can change. Hummm...okay, well on to today's question.
"If you could eliminate any one type of insect permanently from the earth, what would you get rid of?" Well I already know my answer. The one insect beside a roach that I hate. And granted I never really grew up with roaches since my mother was a pest control tech most of my life, I pick the mosquito. They do so much harm....they bite you, suck your blood and leave this bump that itches. And if you are like me, you can't quit itching it and it becomes a scab and then you pick at it and it becomes a scar. They cause Parvo in dogs and now they are carries of the West Nile Virus. I would eliminate them completely. I often times wonder if they can carry and transmit the West Nile Virus, why the can't carry or transmit AIDS. Things that make me go....hum..... AIDS, now there is a disease along with Cancer that I'd want to get rid of. I'm sure that is a "IF" question down the road. I've never been effect or knowingly in contact with an AIDS or HIV patient, but I'm sure that it can effect a person/family just like cancer and I've had my fair share of that in my family.
So should I go to the next question??? Why not....
"IF you had to eliminate a single type of animal forevermore, which would you choose?" Assuming that they mean "type" as in species ie: feline, canine, etc. I'll have to think about this one.
Okay, well I'm off...more tomorrow.
By the way, anyone who reads this, I have a coupon off for $2.00 at Jiffy Lube that I can print or mail to you. Proceeds go to the La Leche League of Indiana. I person think that it is a wonderful group that offers support, guidance and a few ideas for nursing moms.

February 10, 2007 Any place
"If you could physically transport yourself to any place in the world at this moment, where would you go?" Humm... I still don't really know. I really am happy where I am, I wish it was about 73 degrees outside, but I'm happy here. Sorry I can't give a better answer.
Today's question: "If you could have lived through any war in history (without actually fighting in it), which would it be? Since I really don't like war, I will need to to think about this one hard.
Duck is finally starting to feel a little better. MC is doing better, at least he isn't as bad as he was. There isn't anything really new to say.
I did go to the bank today to close out an account that is never used. The girl came up and said, "Do you want a cashier's check or cash?" Well just cash, it was only about $160.00, she said now, it more than a thousand. HUH??? She must have had the wrong account. Yup! She did, she closed our main account, which also means that the mortgage check has not gone through yet. DARN it. So she went back and closed the right account and gave me cash, and then informed me that when she close out the main acct, it canceled our credit/debit cards. OMG! I could tell that she was ready for me to rip her apart, but heck, what can I do? I can take it calmly and say, hey, it was an accident or I can ruin her Saturday and mine by getting upset and yelling at her. We don't need to spend any money anyway, we have enough food, just gas, and we can get cash for that. Okay, well I need to get Sunshine, he's terrorizing the cat AGAIN. Poor kitty.
Maybe more later...maybe not.

February 09, 2007 Good news and the visit...
I rec'd good news tonight, I wish the two a lot of luck in minding wounds. And I was serious about the date night thing...just because you are married, doesn't mean that you can't have a date with your wife/husband. I will be here if either of you need someone to talk to. We love you guys!
And now the visit.....Have you ever had to visit the Social Security Office???? I think that being rude is a prerequisite for all government jobs. I mean, for crying out loud, how many times do I have to say that I haven't used my maiden name for more than 3 years now??? Did you not hear me the first 5 times I told you lady???? Okay, I feel a little better. I'm still having to hyphenate my name, they couldn't change it since I didn't have any documentation showing my birth date and maiden name together. What a crock of CRAP. I have an IN state Driver License, I have doctor's bills in my new name and the most important document of all.....my marriage license. OHHHHHHHHHFFFFFFFFFFF. I'm very frustrated. Then after I had already called to find out how it was going to work to get MC's SSN, apparently everything the lady told me on the phone was a lie! The lady behind the counter even had the nerve to ask me what the rush was for getting his SSN....I told her that we wanted to file our taxes an needed his number in order to claim him. Then she told me that we couldn't claim him since he was born in 2006. Uh...yes we can...HELLO? Then she precede to tell me that had until April 14th to file, DUH! I told her that when you are getting money back, you don't wait till the last minute. IT WASN'T ANY OF HER FREAKING BUSINESS. So now we have to wait 4-6 weeks to file. This has been a disaster, considering the health department didn't even have him on file.
Call of the wild, thanks for listening!

February 09, 2007 Humm.....
Well yesterday I learned to not speed read something that was potentially a hate letter.
Today I went up to put the clothes away and saw the my darling cat has puked all over the play room...yuck. Guess what I'll be doing when Sunshine takes a nap and Duck is home.
The last "IF" question...."If you could spend one whole night alone with anyone in the world who is currently alive, who would you select?" - Well, I've put a lot of though into this question and my answer is very controversial. I get to spend just about every night alone with my family who I love and enjoy spending every night alone with. But I think that I would spend the night alone with Osama Bin Laden. Now before you "X" off my page, here are my reasons. First I would try to make the man understand that he isn't doing God's work, killing innocent people in wake of his cause is wrong and goes against the Bible and God. Number 2, if I were to spend the night alone with him, guess what, we'd know where he was and he could be arrested in the morning, or in the night I don't care. Perhaps if his group didn't have a leader the would disband, or at least hopefully.
No since I misses a day I will ask and state yesterday's question/today's answer.
"If you could spend one whole night alone with anyone in history, who would you choose?" Well that's easy, I'd choose Jesus, no question about that one.
Today's questions: "If you could physically transport yourself to any place in the world at this moment, where would you go?" Some place warm comes to mind, but I think the questions is due more thought than that. I'll give my answer tomorrow.
I haven't been able to exercise with my friend all week and part of last week...I'm bummed. I want to loose weight, but I need motivation. I think I will bring my prom dress down and hang it on the front door. Seeing it all the time will motivate me to eat less, drink more water and exercise more.
I'm going to start making a list of things that need to be done around the house that I don't know how to do or can't do. Like the toilet tank needs to be fixed. My goal is to get one thing done a week or should I say Duck to get one thing done a week. I am going to keep the house us and start to move our bedroom to the small one and the toys and kids stuff to the big one.
Well Sunshine is hungry and the baby is starting to fuss...gotta go, at least for now.

February 07, 2007 And the answer is....
Okay, so I've had about a day to think of the answer and....of course the obvious win the lottery popped in my head first, but I thought it deserved more thought than that. If I was to be granted one wish it would be that Duck and are a good enough parents to raise children that make a difference in the world while leading a good life. I guess that's every parents wish, but that is what I would wish for other than the lottery.
Tomorrow's question: If you could spend one whole night alone with anyone in the world who is currently alive, who would you select? Oh the possibilities...
I've folded all the laundry besides what is in the dryer and I'm going to wash the table clothes today. I also need to touch up the kitchen, it's fairly good, but I still need to de-clutter the counter. That is my project for today, de-clutter the counters in the kitchen and the top of the refrigerator.
Has everyone who reads this seen The Village by M.N. Shamalan? If you haven't, I recommend it. Granted it isn't the best movie I've ever seen, but if I could live like that for the sake of my children I would. I just can't pluck and kill the chickens...it may come to me some day, but certainly not today.
I spoke to Dad today, he said something about visiting us...I'd love it! As long as long as he'd let me cook. I'm sure that the kids would love to see him also. I get kinda bored here all day by myself with the kids and doing the house work. I miss some of the social interaction that I used to get. But until I am better about keeping my house clean, I don't want regular company. I'm working on it.
Duck is still running a fever, but it down around 99-100 area. MC is sick still, very congested and doesn't seem to get much better. Going to call the doc tomorrow if he isn't any better at all. Duck is going to the SSA office to get the SS number for MC tomorrow. I have to get the BC today.
Well I think that's all my news for now, I'm going to finish my de-clutter session and try to do some sit-ups today. If I get the notion later I may do some Tae Bo, I really need to. I'm tired of this excess flab hanging off my bones. Duck and I have made the agreement that if I lose 50 lbs, I can cut my hair off, and he won't say a word. I can't wait, I'm going to be this side of bald! Okay well I guess I better get up and do it. I'm also going to start keeping track of everything at fitday.com. It is a free website that will track things for you and help you decide what and where you need to do more or less.
Perhaps more later, stay warm.

February 06, 2007 Family Decisions
I feel bad that I have not been able to exercise with my exercise partner, MC is just so congested and it isn't fair to him to keep taking him in and out in this horrible weather. It is snowing so hard right now I can hardly see my neighbors house. The accumulation is just amazing. The truck has also had problems running the past few days, okay let me reword that, it hasn't been running the past few days. Duck has been driving the car to work, it makes me feel better with him doing that anyway. Not sure why. Duck is still sick, he was running a 102.1 last night. He still doesn't want to go to the doctor, I'll ask him again today. Sunshine did really well at his DT appt today. My house is picked up and my floors have been spot cleaned. I will go over them real good the next warmer day we have. Probably next week. I need to mop the kitchen floor and run the dishes, do a load of laundry, fold the laundry and clean the bathroom, sounds like a lot, but it is really only about an hours worth of work.
I found my favorite book today while I was looking at the book shelf. (imagine that a book on the book shelf) It's called "If..." so every day I am going to post an If question and think about it before I blog the answer. "If you were granted one wish, what would it be?" Humm...oh the possibilities.
I spoke with T last night and the news wasn't as good as I had hoped for. He did make a good point about himself though....he must start putting the children first. As a parent it is hard (for most, easy for us) to put the children first everytime. We have some close friends (K&G) whom we feel, feel the same way as we do. Yes I said feel twice, read it again if it didn't make sense. We are always thinking of our children first, granted the whole world can't revolve around them, they can't get everything that they want all the time, but it is important to us that we give them what they need when they need it. It isn't about always giving them what they want. He also brought up another good point that made me think about Jo. We were going to adopt him, and it think it may have been a mistake had we actually been able to go through with it. Don't get me wrong, I loved Jo and I would've done anything I could have for him, but would I have been as fair to him as I am to Sunshine. Would I have given him the same amount of love and time. Would I have felt that the same love for a child that isn't mine biologically. The answers are, we will never know. I loved him, but life would have been so much different. He would have been better in our home by far, but our hands are tied. I even went to DFC to see if I could at least get him placed in a better home, but they wouldn't do anything since I wasn't in the right county, even with a letter from his guardian/step-grandfather saying that he couldn't parent the kids. I pray for him all the time, and I do think about him all the time. I wish that we had the money to fight, but I'm not sure how it would all work out in the end. I think he would have a better shot at life if he lived with us and that we would show him more love than he has ever been shown. Unless someone can catch him before he falls too far, he is going to wind up one of those statistics that turn out bad. Unfortunately, I see him winding up in jail for a heinous crime that he commits. The best I feel that I can do is pray for him everyday. Maybe this is something that Duck and I should really sit down and have a heart to heart about.
Stay warm,Katy
"If you could physically transport yourself to any place in the world at this moment, where would you go?" Humm... I still don't really know. I really am happy where I am, I wish it was about 73 degrees outside, but I'm happy here. Sorry I can't give a better answer.

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

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!

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.
K
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.

January 30, 2007 Shots
Today MC got his first set of shots. Sunshine went with us for a follow up on his ears and to evaluate the dry patch on his knee. He got a script which I will fill as soon as I find out whether or not it is the same as what I had. If it is, it will be okay to use for him. MC didn't really like the shot process, but the nurses worked together and they gave them at the same time. Nothing new is really going on, I'm just VERY tired and mentally exhausted. MC has cried out several times tonight, so I assume tonight will be rough. I'll see if I can walk strait in the morning. Sunshine said the word "stuck" today, it was cute. He has also started bonding with his brother. It is very relieving to experience. Okay, well I'm kinda blah today, perhaps more tomorrow. I officially don't work at TE anymore, her full time person got fired last Monday and she is without anyone. But I don't have daycare that I can afford and don't feel the need to burden our friends with two more children. She said that she may have me come in part time when Duck is on nights, lets see what happens. MC won't drink from a bottle.
Night, K.

January 28, 2007 $1.81 and cloth diapers
Yesterday we went to K & G's so I could do Tae Bo with her, we then did Yoga and Duck and G went to see their other house. Sunshine was a menace while they were gone, pushing B and being unruly. I don't know what has gotten into him. He has started grabbing people by the throat, ie. pushing B over in such a way. I'm against spanking every time, but next time and there after I feel it may warrant such a punishment. I hate to do it, but I see no other way at this point. I don't know where he got that from, but I will certainly be watching him a lot more closely while at play with other children. Often times he plays off in his own little area and uses the "defense" tactics when other children approach, as if he feels like they are going to take his toys. They don't even have to take his toys, they just need approach and it seems as if he feel threatened. Again, I don't know where he got that from except perhaps daycare, which he doesn't attend anymore. I will also try to make it a point to play with him and other children. At least he isn't biting. Okay so to the $1.81. That's how much I spent on gas yesterday. I had a ton of errands to run after the workout session, and Sunshine was sooo hungry and tired it made it completely unbearable to get his hair cut. So we went to get a quick bite, and he feel asleep as soon as we pulled up to the restaurant. So we grabbed a quick bite and went to Big Lots to get some more rubbers for the baby diapers. Luckily they had them, but they only went up to size small. I'll have to find the Mediums for the next level. For now I'm set, and since he is still pretty small I'm not going to go by the weight limits on the packages. So then it was off to Kroger where they had a bunch of the 10/10 sales. We picked up about $74.00 worth of food for about $37.00. And that put us over the $100.00 mark for .10 cents off per gallon of gas. What luck, I was on "E". So we went over and payed $1.81 per gallon. Down the street it was $2.09. Duck was so proud. So then we stopped and got Sunshine a bite to eat and headed home, he was so hungry he could've eaten more. Since we had Turkey Dinner for G's birthday Friday I was going to make Turkey soup out of the rest of the Turkey, and so I started that LONG process. It took about 4 hours but I was done finally around 9. And let's say, I HORRIBLY messed that up! I put (6) 16 oz glasses of uncooked rice in the pot. OOPS...that was way too much. I now have no room in my deep freezer at all, and i have 4 lbs of meat out to make lasagna. So for the next month I will be eating Rice with a little bit of turkey soup for lunch. Last night we started using the cloth diapers. I have 24, so I think I'll be washing them ever day, which is a good thing this I don't exactly have a stink free pail thing, nor do I have the room. If they work out very well, which I think they may and don't really have much of a choice, I will buy more with our tax check. Well I need to get up and get the kitchen cleaned, it isn't really all that dirty just cluttered and I want to get everything done so I don't have to do so much tomorrow since we are going to work out again. Until next time...

January 26, 2007 4 kids and I still have my sanity
I must admit, I wasn't too sure about today. I had K's boy C (4) and middle daughter B (almost 2), Sunshine and MC today. I was very amazed that I got as much done as I did. I folded 6 loads of laundry, washed about 3, cleaned the kitchen. Duck helped with the dining room and the table. It was G's birthday, and we had a turkey dinner with chocolate cake for desert....yummy! A salad would have topped it off, but I didn't have the supplies. The kids were good, typical grabbing, pushing thing on all three sides. It was cute to hear B say, "go away" when the boys would hassle her. I did my absolute best to make sure that she didn't over wet herself. I changed her very often, and I think that may be part of the reason that we nearly ran out of diapers, I washed three of them to make sure we were going to make it through dinner. It was all great in my opinion. Thanks to G for cutting the turkey, Duck and I are chicken! I will use the rest for Turkey soup tomorrow or Sunday. It should turn out great. I got to use my pretty new table clothes that I got for Christmas for Dad and D. It looked great! Well Sunshine and MC are both asleep, it is 9:30 and Duck is in the garage so I going to curl up on the couch to a movie and pass out, just as soon as I put the Turkey carcass away for tomorrow. Too tired to deal with it tonight. Okay....well good night to all!

January 25, 2007 A long week
Tuesday I had an 8:30 am appt with K to do Tae Bo. I over did it on some parts and under did it on other. And MC ate in the mean time. It was fun, and we are doing it again at 3:00 today, I think. Then I ran home, didn't have time to shower, but I had taken one the night before, and ran to the doctor. I forgot that my appt was at 10:45 instead of 11:00. No matter, he was running 2 hours behind anyhow. He got through all the patients pretty quickly and I only ended up waiting about 30 minutes. Then he set me up for the IUD. There I was vulnerable, and all the sudden I hear (click, click, click). He was messing with hemostats. Then the next thing I know...OUCH. I have NEVER felt a pain like that there. I haven't decided if it was the hemostats or an injection of Novocaine. I started to feel a warmth come over me, and then I could taste the medicine in my mouth. I felt two more "warmth's" come over me and then all the sudden...>WHOA NELLY. My uterus started contracting and I was having flash backs of when I was in labor with Sunshine. He then told me that he had to dilate my uterus to put it in. All in all, I'm glad that I won't have to worry about birth control for the next 5 years, but I think I would have rather had my wisdom's pulled out without the Novocain while I was awake. On the final note he asked me if I had any pain killers left from the c-section. And I said yes, I had only taken 1. He said, "Great, if you need more just give me a call!" OH BOY, this doesn't sound good. Thank goodness the only pain killer I have had to take was Motrin for my soar throat. It was really bad yesterday, so I started the antibiotic and I'm going to gargle with salt water and take Motrin as needed for pain.
Yesterday I went shopping with K after the non-LLL meeting. We had a blast, well at least I did. I got way more stuff than she did, but I won't need half as much next month. I hope to have Sunshine potty trained by then, and we won't need the 25 lbs of flour, rice or the 50 lbs. of potatoes. Duck was set back by the amt of stuff I got, he thought I had spent a fortune, it was only around $135.00 and that includes the pull-ups. Sunshine stayed with G yesterday, he was passed out when I picked him up. I could tell that he missed me though, when we got home Duck came and got him out of the car since he was shoeless and still groggy. He cried at the door until I got MC out of the car and came in. He just wanted to be held for the next hour or so. So his 10 min nap put him in bed around 9....HALLELUJAH. We stopped at Olive Garden and had a great lunch and fun harassing the waitress...she took it in great humor. We also go several compliment on our babies and just about everyone stopped and looked at them...one of the joys of being a mom. We also had a few people ask us if we were sisters or related...which was a compliment to me at least. I didn't however like the look that we got at Sam's for the employees while we were sitting there feeding out babies. It isn't like we were walking around topless, and we weren't showing our selves. I just try to let things like that roll off my shoulders, they have no idea how much we are doing for our babies. Oh, well...
I'm in the middle of making 3 batches of banana bread, then I'll make one apple, two pumpkin and one peanut butter...a new one for us. I've burnt up my good mixer though, so I'll see if we can swing a new one, the back up one is a cheap one and I'm sure it won't last very long. They also sent us a new carpet cleaner, guess the motor was too bad on the other one. Duck is going to clean the upstairs so MC can try to sleep up there. We are also going to play some soft music. Okay, well I need to go, I think I burnt the first batch of bread, or I got it too dark, Sunshine and I will love it!
Katy.

January 22, 2007 Oh what a day!
MC was upset and crying/fussy between like 12ish and 4:30 ish. I thought I might pull my hair out. He was so tired and I'd nurse him, he'd fall asleep and then I'd lay him down. He'd either wake up on his own and realize that I'm not there or Sunshine would run through the house screaming (playing) and wake him up. So I'd nurse him again. I would've used the sling, but I was washing dishes by hand, and cooking and cutting things....not a very good idea to have him in a sling when I'm doing such things. Tomorrow I'm going to start doing Tae Bo with K, I hope that she has a DVD player...yup she does. Well MC is asleep, and Sunshine is watching a movie, so I'm going to finish the laundry up and mop the kitchen and bathroom floor. I want to be in bed within the hour and MC needs a bath still. I will pick Sunshine up tomorrow after my appt and come strait home to vacuum and clean off Duck's desk. I also want to dust the living room if I don't get to it tonight.
Wish my luck with tomorrow...80 lbs. to lose. AND THEY ARE GOING TO BE LOST.
K~
Today MC got his first set of shots. Sunshine went with us for a follow up on his ears and to evaluate the dry patch on his knee. He got a script which I will fill as soon as I find out whether or not it is the same as what I had. If it is, it will be okay to use for him. MC didn't really like the shot process, but the nurses worked together and they gave them at the same time. Nothing new is really going on, I'm just VERY tired and mentally exhausted. MC has cried out several times tonight, so I assume tonight will be rough. I'll see if I can walk strait in the morning. Sunshine said the word "stuck" today, it was cute. He has also started bonding with his brother. It is very relieving to experience. Okay, well I'm kinda blah today, perhaps more tomorrow. I officially don't work at TE anymore, her full time person got fired last Monday and she is without anyone. But I don't have daycare that I can afford and don't feel the need to burden our friends with two more children. She said that she may have me come in part time when Duck is on nights, lets see what happens. MC won't drink from a bottle.
Night, K.

January 28, 2007 $1.81 and cloth diapers
Yesterday we went to K & G's so I could do Tae Bo with her, we then did Yoga and Duck and G went to see their other house. Sunshine was a menace while they were gone, pushing B and being unruly. I don't know what has gotten into him. He has started grabbing people by the throat, ie. pushing B over in such a way. I'm against spanking every time, but next time and there after I feel it may warrant such a punishment. I hate to do it, but I see no other way at this point. I don't know where he got that from, but I will certainly be watching him a lot more closely while at play with other children. Often times he plays off in his own little area and uses the "defense" tactics when other children approach, as if he feels like they are going to take his toys. They don't even have to take his toys, they just need approach and it seems as if he feel threatened. Again, I don't know where he got that from except perhaps daycare, which he doesn't attend anymore. I will also try to make it a point to play with him and other children. At least he isn't biting. Okay so to the $1.81. That's how much I spent on gas yesterday. I had a ton of errands to run after the workout session, and Sunshine was sooo hungry and tired it made it completely unbearable to get his hair cut. So we went to get a quick bite, and he feel asleep as soon as we pulled up to the restaurant. So we grabbed a quick bite and went to Big Lots to get some more rubbers for the baby diapers. Luckily they had them, but they only went up to size small. I'll have to find the Mediums for the next level. For now I'm set, and since he is still pretty small I'm not going to go by the weight limits on the packages. So then it was off to Kroger where they had a bunch of the 10/10 sales. We picked up about $74.00 worth of food for about $37.00. And that put us over the $100.00 mark for .10 cents off per gallon of gas. What luck, I was on "E". So we went over and payed $1.81 per gallon. Down the street it was $2.09. Duck was so proud. So then we stopped and got Sunshine a bite to eat and headed home, he was so hungry he could've eaten more. Since we had Turkey Dinner for G's birthday Friday I was going to make Turkey soup out of the rest of the Turkey, and so I started that LONG process. It took about 4 hours but I was done finally around 9. And let's say, I HORRIBLY messed that up! I put (6) 16 oz glasses of uncooked rice in the pot. OOPS...that was way too much. I now have no room in my deep freezer at all, and i have 4 lbs of meat out to make lasagna. So for the next month I will be eating Rice with a little bit of turkey soup for lunch. Last night we started using the cloth diapers. I have 24, so I think I'll be washing them ever day, which is a good thing this I don't exactly have a stink free pail thing, nor do I have the room. If they work out very well, which I think they may and don't really have much of a choice, I will buy more with our tax check. Well I need to get up and get the kitchen cleaned, it isn't really all that dirty just cluttered and I want to get everything done so I don't have to do so much tomorrow since we are going to work out again.

January 22, 2007 The $1.35 lunch
WOW, that's all lunch cost for Sunshine and I today. I made a HUGE pot of chicken noodle soup. And I must say it is bland, but very good. We had grilled cheese with it and Sunshine had peanut butter and crackers and we both had juice. Good lunch for only $1.35. Cha-ching. Okay, just wanted to gloat a little..gotta go for now, perhaps more later if time permits. I have so much to do since I'll have people over all day tomorrow in the afternoon and I have an exercise date at 8:30 am.
January 21, 2007 And the snow has arrived
It finally looks like winter in Indiana or at least where we are. We got about 2 inches or so of snow. Duck went out once today, but the rest of us stayed cozy in the house. I cooked chicken breast for lunch today, we shared one, didn't even eat the whole thing. I used the left over and other 3 halves to start my soup. I boiled the bones, but I'm bummed that I didn't get to finish it. I have to wait for the fat to harden on top so I can scrap it off. I was hoping to be able to finish it today and do the turkey tomorrow. We put the turkey in the freezer and I'll probably take it back out tomorrow to thaw. Yes our fridge is really small, just this side of a camper fridge, maybe a little bigger. Tonight I'm going to re-arrange the living room and try to do some power cleaning. MC just went down and Sunshine is still up since he took a late nap. I'm going to get him back up at 8 tomorrow at the latest. Since he has been saying so many new words this weekend we are going to go to the next letter of the alphabet and go around the house and name everything we can find. Okay, well I'm going to go clean so I can put sunshine to bed and go to sleep myself. 3 quick things:
Last night I tried to go to bed upstairs with Duck, that didn't last because MC just cried and cried. In the little time we were up there, MC was in his crib and Sunshine was in his toddler bed. He had his Chicken Elmo, one button does the chicken dance and the other goes "bauck bauck bauck" while Elmo's head rolls around in a circle. He'd hit the button and listen and then say, "I know", and again, and again and so on. We were laughing so hard.
Today he kept asking Duck, "Why, Why, Why, WHY" it was adorable, I know that I will only think that for a while.
After his nap today Duck was holding MC and asked Sunshine if he loved the baby he said, "no, no, no". Then he asked him if he wanted to kiss the baby and again he said, "no, no, no". He then told him that mommy and daddy loved the baby and he didn't say anything else. He then asked him again if he loved the baby and he said, "no, no, no". I certainly hope this isn't a sign of things to come! I know that he will love his brother, especially when he can play with him.
Good night,
Katy
January 20, 2007 Our journey to Walley World
Today we went to WalMart after Duck got off of work. I wanted to pick up a stock pot....YIPEEE I finally got one! I'm very excited. I'm going to make Chicken noodle soup and Turkey Rice Soup...It's going to be GREAT!... I'm going to go shopping with K on Wednesday. The two of us and the babies. It's going to be fun, educational and adult! I'm also going to make up 6 lasagnas and 6 meat loafs. This is going to be great, it is going to cost us about $135.00 next month for groceries, granted I have most of it here so I will have some extra money when the sales hit. I know that we are always going to use certain things like cheese etc. We also got cloth diapers. I called ahead to make sure they had the plastics to go over them and she said yes they did. Next time I will know better, ask if they have a particular size. The smallest they had was 18 months. I guess I will have to go to Big Lots. I don't know what else I am going to do if I can't find them in his size.
Okay, going to watch a movie with my hubby, relax and get ready for tomorrow. A day of cooking!
Night!

January 19, 2007 More of today
Duck just headed off to bed. I'm so proud of him. If it weren't for his hard work (50 + hours a week) I would not beable to stay at home with our children. He is working a ton of overtime...granted he hates it, grumbles all the time, but the money is coming greatly in handy. I will wait to find a part time job until after he is done with the overtime. It doesn't make sense to me to work at a job making 6 dollars an hour when he is making nearly 3 times that much. I'm preparing a shopping list for February's groceries. Some things at Aldi, Sams, Walmart and the rest at either Save-A-Lot or as they come on sale at Kroger or IGA. I watch the ads very closely and since Duck don't work far from Kroger he can stop and pick some things up. He will also pick up all the bread that we need in 6 loaf increments since I don't have enough room in the deep freezer. I am also going to see if I can pick apart K's brain to get some recipes and tips. She has no idea how much she has helped me. She is like a angel from God. It is amazing how we met...have I told everyone the story??? We belong to this group called freecycle.org. It is a wonderful group of people who offer things that they no longer need or want to everyone. They pick who they want to give them to and so on. We have rec'd several things of use from there including clothing and a pool table. We have also given a ton of stuff away. Anyhow she posted a message on there and I got curious. When I worked at SRI in Indy I worked with a lady by the same name. She was in her mid-40's and could never get pregnant. I felt really sorry for her, because you can tell that she would have always been a good mother. Anyhow, before I left, she became pregnant and I wondered if it was her. It took me writing and canceling several emails to finally decide to hit the send button. I thought, what the heck, she'll either be the same person or she'll think that I'm a psychotic freak who is stalking her. I'm not sure if she thinks I'm psychotic, but she isn't the same person. Some how we got on the topic of breast feeding and babies and found out that we were due a week apart. I started asking questions about breastfeeding since I really wanted to succeed with MC. She was very helpful and then she gave me many more ideas. Such as saving money by going to cloth diapers, planned meals and shopping on a strict budget. Although she will never turn me onto the idea of slaughtering chickens or eating opossum. Sorry K! She met my Dad when MC and I were in the hospital and seemed to spark an interest in him also. He made a few comments about her and has asked how she has been doing and about the baby. She is the only person that we have trusted with our Sunshine to stay over night. Like I said she is an angel. Without her pearls of wisdom I would have never been able to stay at home as a stay at home mom/wife. Thank you...sorry if you need a tissue...I just appreciate all that you have done for me and my family. We will forever be indebted to you.
Okay, I need to go Sunshine wants to play with me.
Love to all and God Bless!

January 19, 2007 Today...
was pretty lazy, I fold some clothes, emptied the dish washer and made meals for us. I was hoping to go to the store today, but Duck ran a friend home to Paris. He was here to pick up the stove and help with the car. Good news we hope...it's the coil packs or at least he thinks. I picked up my script today for the breast infection. I don't think that I have an infection anymore, but I am going to take it. Both ears hurt and my throat is very raw. Par for the course since I live in Indiana. We went to the store today and got some sale items. We did very well. I am going to make Chicken Noodle Soup instead of buying Aldi's. I'll let you all know how it goes. We did eat out tonight and spent nearly $20.00 OUCH...
more later if I can
And 5 more
January 18, 2007 Where's my mind at???
Have you seen it? I wrote yesterday but didn't post it and Yahoo kicked it off. Darn it. Last night I got to take a bath....A BATH! It was so nice that I feel asleep in the tub and then I heard the phone ring. Good thing, my neck was so stiff had I spent much more time like that I would have suffered greatly today. I watch K & G's kids today, and I felt terrible. I was in the middle of cleaning up the block and then I was going to change B and they got here. Of course I had just picked her up not 10 min before and she was fine, but I thought that she might be due. They boys were kicking the block and they were bouncing off the entertainment center so I decided I'd clean them up and then change her...of course when her mom picked her up she had soaked through. I feel AWFUL. Lesson learned, change the baby before boys try to bounce blocks off the tv, if they poke an eye out, they'll learn their lesson and the baby will be dry. We had a good time, it was short but Sunshine liked having visitors, but didn't like sharing his toys. He played by himself for quite a while. The brother and sister had a more difficult time sharing, but that is to be expected, new toys and only one of each. I then suggested that we all build together and it worked out great for a whole 3 minutes then B went off on her own and the boys and I built together....until Sunshine pushed it over. All in all it was a good play date and gave K&G time to get done what they needed to. I think we should do it more often. K - sorry about the diaper thing...I really do feel like an idiot! Next time I promise to changer B before I clean up the blocks.
Today's food list
B - Cereal and water (we were out of milk) - .35 cents ( I didn't have time to eat ) - PB&J sandwich for Duck (go figure??) - .15
S - 4 apples eaten - .80
L - 2 cans of veggie soup, 4 grilled cheese sandwiches and 1 peanut butter sandwich. Juice to drink (Kool-aid for me) - 2.15 (this fed 3 children and a nursing mom with left overs)
D - Tuna sandwiches with mac & cheese and a corn dog for Sunshine - Kool-aid to drink (still out of milk) & a PB&J sandwich to top Duck off - 1.82. So we spent $5.27 on three meals and snacks.
Gotta go get muchkin talk to you later.
Love,Katy
January 16, 2007 I have a fan...
I was told today that I haven't written in my blog in a few days....that means that I have a fan. Someone actually reads what I have to say...and I'm sure that she sits there shaking her head durning most of what she is reading. I took Sunshine to K&G's house while I took MC to the doctor today. He has to stay on his breathing treatment for atleast the next 6 weeks. Then we left to go to my doctor's appt only to find out that I didn't have one today, it's next week. Not very good news in the love department, but hey, what's one more week??? I think that I may be getting mastitus again..or a plugged duct. That just means that MC will have to start nursing on that side first everytime and I will have to pump the other if I become too engorged. I would like to take this moment to say that I am very proud of myself...I am breat feeding my son. I am giving him what he needs, when he needs it. The bond that we are creating is priceless to the plastic thing that sits between a mother and her child. Not that I'm knocking bottle feeding, I bottle fed Sunshine. It is just a very wonderful and unique experience. Okay, well I wrote for my one fan today. Thank you for watching my Sunshine and sorry he threw a fit at your lunch table, he has no idea what a wonderful lunch he missed. I can't wait to get a turkey. Thanks for lunch, your friendship, advice and your support, both you and G.
Love,

January 12, 2007 The hospital stay...
Wednesday I took MC back to the doctor for congestion and she put him in the hospital. 24 observation and breathing treatments. I'm not sure that it was a good idea to put him in there. I could have done the breathing treatments at home and gone back the next day. They only listened to his chest 4 times, and it was all different people listening. How are they going to determine what they did or did not hear if they didn't listen before and after a treatment??? So we left with ANOTHER breathing machine, we now have 3. They also said that he has bronchitis (spelling) and asthma. I didn't want to go down this road again. So I'm very tired and I think we are going to have to plan a trip to Riley one day soon to the respiratory specialist. Nothing else is really new, just trying to get as much sleep as possible, so I'm going to lay down since both boys are asleep.

January 09, 2007 The good, the bad and the ugly
The Good: I'm only 4 pounds over my pre-prego weight. (it's all milk and breast) I now have 85lbs. to lose. And the march is on!
The Bad: I have to wait a week for birth control, I was offered the Depo shot, and my response was HELL no. I bled 87 out of 90 days last time I had the horrible thing. They say it's either one way or the other. The doctor did seem adamant on strictly informing me that I'm fertile. DUH! What exactly does he think I went through with him for the past 9 months.
The Ugly: MC is now having blood come out when I suction his nose. I feel so sorry for him that I could/can cry. He just screams and cries when I have to suction out his nose. He doesn't realize that it helps him and I can only imagine how much it hurts. I have blisters on my hands from doing it so much. I just don't understand why this is happening. I know that he was born without an immune system, but he has been congested for way too long. I'm ready to have a healthy baby. I can't put him down for more than 10 or so minutes before he is hysterical. At night he only sleep on me or on a pillow, or I should say he only sleeps well. If he is in his bouncer or swing I'm lucky to get 45 min to an hour in between screams. And it is so dangerous for him to sleep on the pillow. There is just no other way to make him comfortable. I don't know what's going to happen when he goes to daycare, they will not accommodate him the same way. Duck is going to apply at some new places to see if he can switch jobs. If he can make a dollar or two more an hour, it would greatly help and perhaps I wouldn't have to work as much, or I could work around his schedule. MC is so precious and beautiful I just wish it were easier for him to breath. We are going to try kicking the cat out and when we get our carpet cleaner sent off and back we are going to clean all the carpets to help remove any allergens in the carpets.
Sunshine has been really good, and starting to speak so much more. I'm very happy with his progress in speech. I think that part of it is because he is exploring more and just becoming more vocal and I think that the other part is because of his speech therapist. She is helping us coach him and trying to draw new words out. She is much better than his development therapist, whom I don't feel is benefiting him in any way.
Okay well thanks for listening or should I say reading! I need to get up and do about 30 minutes of power cleaning.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can;and wisdom to know the difference.

We are trying to set standards around our house as far as the children are concerned. As children we grew up in very different households. My parents (mother and her husband) were drug users and alcoholics. Duck's Dad drank and joyrode(???), but they went to church. Growing up the only time we ever went to church was when we went to our Dad's house. It's a huge long story, basically we were brain washed that people who believed in God were weak and so on. Today we all sat down at the table, which we never did as children, and prayed at lunch. We want Sunshine and MC to both understand the meaning of family meals, and the love of God. I do hope that this is the start of a family trend. Next we need to find a church to go to. If you knew the troubles we have had with this in the past...we both believe, but our believes are on different religions..so we have a dilemma in picking a church. Okay well I did more than my 15 minutes and I'm waiting on Duck to get home to remind him that it is trash night, I've already rounded it all up, he just needs to take it out front. Good Night and God Bless, even if it makes me a weaker person!
Me.
Have you seen it? I wrote yesterday but didn't post it and Yahoo kicked it off. Darn it. Last night I got to take a bath....A BATH! It was so nice that I feel asleep in the tub and then I heard the phone ring. Good thing, my neck was so stiff had I spent much more time like that I would have suffered greatly today. I watch K & G's kids today, and I felt terrible. I was in the middle of cleaning up the block and then I was going to change B and they got here. Of course I had just picked her up not 10 min before and she was fine, but I thought that she might be due. They boys were kicking the block and they were bouncing off the entertainment center so I decided I'd clean them up and then change her...of course when her mom picked her up she had soaked through. I feel AWFUL. Lesson learned, change the baby before boys try to bounce blocks off the tv, if they poke an eye out, they'll learn their lesson and the baby will be dry. We had a good time, it was short but Sunshine liked having visitors, but didn't like sharing his toys. He played by himself for quite a while. The brother and sister had a more difficult time sharing, but that is to be expected, new toys and only one of each. I then suggested that we all build together and it worked out great for a whole 3 minutes then B went off on her own and the boys and I built together....until Sunshine pushed it over. All in all it was a good play date and gave K&G time to get done what they needed to. I think we should do it more often. K - sorry about the diaper thing...I really do feel like an idiot! Next time I promise to changer B before I clean up the blocks.
Today's food list
B - Cereal and water (we were out of milk) - .35 cents ( I didn't have time to eat ) - PB&J sandwich for Duck (go figure??) - .15
S - 4 apples eaten - .80
L - 2 cans of veggie soup, 4 grilled cheese sandwiches and 1 peanut butter sandwich. Juice to drink (Kool-aid for me) - 2.15 (this fed 3 children and a nursing mom with left overs)
D - Tuna sandwiches with mac & cheese and a corn dog for Sunshine - Kool-aid to drink (still out of milk) & a PB&J sandwich to top Duck off - 1.82. So we spent $5.27 on three meals and snacks.
Gotta go get muchkin talk to you later.

January 08, 2007 Same old same old
They boys are asleep in the livingroom, and I'm heading back to sleep after feeding MC. He is going to go to the doctor tomorrow. I'm now getting what he had, and I am taking Sudafed to head it off. Tomorrow I plan to drink a gallon of OJ and get as much sleep as possible. Speaking of sleep I feel HORRIBLE....G, K's hubby is having problems sleeping and what do I do, I call and wake him up. She said that he fell right back asleep, but I understand how it is to be awaken by the phone, especially when you are REALLY tired. She was going to come over tomorrow to visit so he could sleep, but our Tue schedules are hectic. I have a doc appt, MC is going to have one and Sunshine has a Speech Therapy appt as well. So she is going to come over Wednesday. I look forward to having adult conversation and seeing Sunshine have child interaction. I think that I'm going to try to get all the appt, ST, DT for both children set up on Tuesday's that way I don't have to miss as much work. Tomorrow I will call work after I get back from the doc's office. I think I'm going back on the 29th. I may go back a week earlier, I haven't discussed it with Duck yet. What's $25.00??? We'll see what happens. I want to get up and do about 15 min of house work.
Good night,Katy
January 07, 2007 Accomplishments
This week/end I made three large pots of chili, and put them into servings in the deep freezer. I fried 13 lbs of chicken and put them into portions. We went to the store and bought frozen veggies to make stir-fry. We got MC's wipes and trash bags and gallon storage bags. Tomorrow I'm going to make up the stir-fry veggie part. We are going to get up early and get back on schedule. I have a doc appt on Tues. I'm still at odds on which birth control to use, if any...meaning only that I don't want my milk supply to lower. I'm REALLY concerned about my milk. I am also not at all happy with the new reports out that my car seat is the most unsafe on the market. Well going to go for now, need to get to bed and actually get some sleep.

January 05, 2007 A first for everything
I'm proud to advise that my 2 year old (almost 3) took his pull up off and handed it to me this evening. This was after he had already stripped all the way down to his pull up. So I decided to put big boy underware on him. I showed him the cool people on the front and back and told him not to get the dirty. He was sorta grabbing himself so I decided to put him on the toilet. I ran some water as a suggestion from several people and guess what?? HE PEED ON THE POTTY. I'm so very excited that I gave him a Reece's cup at 11:00 pm. Daddy will be home soon to coral him. I praised him and told him what a good job he did and he was very excited as well. Just wanted to let the world know that my son used the potty. Gotta go cook 15 lbs of chicken now.

January 05, 2007 A small break
Both munchkins are asleep, and I will rest with them in just a few minutes. MC is doing a little better, still clogged up, but better. Sunshine hit the baby in the head again today by accident, not paying attention to what he was doing. He knew he did wrong when he did it.
We have evaluated the budget and figured that there isn't anything that can be done. I'm either going to have to get a raise at work or find a new job. We are going to stop eating out, making so many trips to Indy. I'm also going to try to save on electricity and gas and food and such. By the way, I copied this website that I found on a friends blog...it is AMAZING!
http://michaelbluejay.com/electricity/
I have turned my heat down to 71, and we are going to program our heater to hit 65 during sleeping hours and back up to 71 30 minutes before we get up. We have a space heater for our bedroom to keep us warmer. I'm also going to start cooking at home for every meal possible. I have found that it takes about 14 dollars for us to eat at McDonald's for one meal, but we could eat for a two days or more on the same 14 dollars. I intend on tryng cloth diapers while we are at home. Daycare won't use them and it is a huge inconvience to use the out and about. (Kudos to you K & G, I have huge respect for the fact that you do it)
MC's DT came over today, she worked on exercises with him, I know he's only 5weeks, but he can still stretch and such. She also believes that he is going to speak sooner than his brother since he is already doing the cooing and making a lot of verbal noises. He moves his head from side to side, follows objects and holds his head up. He's on track!
Monday we are going to get back onto track, we are going to get up between 7 and 8. Sunshine is going into underware, I know that I'll have to do a lot of laundry that day, but I want him to use the potty. We are going to sit down and do an educational craft and playdoh. I want him back on a schedule, not going to bed at 1 am and getting up at 10. Yeah that's nice, but it isn't going to work when he goes back to daycare.
Okay I need to go, I have 4 loads of laundry to fold and put up and I'm going to get a little bit done while Sunshine is still sleeping.

January 04, 2007 So it's been a few days!
Where do I start..well Duck is mad because his past is haunting him. Sunshine went to bed early for hitting MC in the head, he was aiming at me. Regardless, he needs to go to bed. MC is asleep on my lap right now, the only place he wants to be in on me. I know that I'm going to call his doc in the morning anyway to get the results of the x-ray. I am also getting some small amounts of blood up when I suck his nose out. I'm not freaked out about it or else he'd be in the ER. He slept better last night, but has been eating ALL DAY! I wish I could just remove my boob and let him have it for an hour so I can clean. Sunshine DESTROYED the living room. All the books are off the shelf, all the toys out of the bins and bucket. AHHHHHH. THIS TOO BETTER PASS. I am looking for a way to make $1100. per month so I can stay with the boys. Not sure how I'm going to achieve that, unless my boss gives me a two dollar an hour raise or I find another job. We have worked every aspect of the budget and there is just no way to survive on Duck's income alone. Even if I worked part time on the weekends somewhere. I've thought about maybe watching a few kids if I stay home, but then that would restrict me to the house day in and day out. All my problems would be solved if I could just hit the lottery. I would buy the house behind me, move into it (it's bigger), use this house as an office/daycare facility. Stay home with my boys running the daycare facility and volunteering to fight poverty and working with the homeless. Maybe I should run for Mrs. America...on second thought, I'm sure NOBODY wants to see me in a bikini. Okay, getting off my soap box here, I'm sure that there are people out there with far many more problems than I, I'm grateful for what I have and what I've been given. Gotta go clean what I have!
God Bless~

January 01, 2007 Feeling Helpless
MC is really sick at this point. I called the doctor today and she asked me if I was sucking his throat out? I didn't know that is something I should be doing, so I tried it. I don't even know if I'm getting down in his throat. He is miserable, and looks miserable. He isn't eating hardly at all, and hasn't been very wet or dirty. She wants to see him in the morning. I'm also going to take Sunshine in, I think he has an ear infection or two. He is falling everywhere from just walking and is sticking his fingers in his ears. I feel so helpless because I can't make or help my baby feel better. Everything I try to do, nothing works. I can't wait to hear what she has to say, hopefully she can help. I know that I will still have to put up with this for a few days, but I hope not for too long. Well I need to get back to tending to him. He is going to sleep on me all night tonight. God please give me the strength to get through tonight with some sanity in the morning and above all please help MC breath better/easier.
Amen!

December 31, 2006 New Year's Eve
Okay, it's been a couple of days since I last wrote. MC is pretty sick and Sunshine is walking around with his fingers in his ears and falling everywhere. Sound like an ear infection?? I thing it would be best to have it checked out. MC is congested and not eating as much and sleeping a lot. Other than that we are being lazy around the house today, we are going to clean real quick and spend the last 30 minutes vegging on the couch. We are going to be doing much, just spending time with the family. My New Year's Resolutions are:
To : loose 80 lbs., read more to the boys, keep the house clean, create and stick to a meal plan, exercise 4 times a week at least 30 minutes a day, retire until the boys go to school!
Think I can do it? Wanna watch me try? I'm going to be healthier, happier and have more money. Okay well, at least wish me luck! I need to go get the kitchen cleaned up from dinner and fold the 8 loads of clothes....Gotta start the year off right!
Love to all my friends and family

December 28, 2006 Just another day
Nothing real new to report. MC is moving around a lot, I feel asleep with him on my chest today and he wormed his way vertical instead of horizontal....I have to start being more careful. I'm very tired today and I've got a headache, but other than that I'm doing great. Just wish I had a little more motivation to clean my house...probably tomorrow. I want to get it all cleaned up before the weekend so we can veg and party. Duck has given me good news on the work status thing...sorry to do this to you but ask and I'll tell you, I'd rather not post it right now. I made Chicken Stir Fry tonight, even though it wasn't as good as I thought it would be, it was much healthier and I think we are going to start eating this type of food more often. I bought a bag of Tyson BS Chicken Breast, 6 come in a bag for 6 or so dollars. I also bought a bad of stir fry mix for about 1.25 a bag. So let's add this up. Say 1.25 for chicken, 1.25 for stir fry mix, .05 for oil, .5 for kool aid and sugar, .5 for noodles and .25 for rice. I fed Duck and I for 3.80. That is cheaper than McDonalds. On the other hand, we offered the meal to Sunshine, but he chose to eat 3 Chicken nuggets and a banana. So, we all ate for about 4.25, which is still cheaper than McD's. Okay, enough with the math/cooking lesson today. Good night, I have a 2 year old dragging me away.

December 27, 2006 Oh...last night
Well we went Lebtucky so Duck could fix B & T's computer, it's all fixed now. I went to see K, I haven't seen her in so long, it was great to go shopping again with her. I hope it didn't offend B & T. I took K home and we ordered pizza and then we hung out for a while and ended up leaving around 10:30, didn't get home until after midnight. MC slept until his 2ish feeding and then until about 5:18 am, when he woke up to eat, refused to be put back down and ate every 30 mintues. I thought I was going to loose my mind. Now when I say that I don't mean that I would do anything stupid to hurt my baby, I just didn't know how I could continue to nurse every half hour for the rest of the night/morning. Well I made it through it, Duck let me sleep for about an hour and a half when Sunshine was literally pushing me off the couch. I very tired, and have nursed between every 30 min to hour for most of the day. NO MORE PIZZA FOR ME. I hoping that it is just a growth spurt that he is going through and will be out of shortly. Well Duck wants us to watch a movie with him.

December 25, 2006 Christmas Day
We got Sunshine up at 10ish this morning after sleeping for 12 hours strait. I think that he needed it because he was running a small fever. He has been a little cranky today, but was happy for the most part. We opened gifts and played all day. Nothing too exciting just family time and fun. Merry Christmas to everyone.
God Bless

Now when I say that I don't mean that I would do anything stupid to hurt my baby, I just didn't know how I could continue to nurse every half hour for the rest of the night/morning. Well I made it through it, Duck let me sleep for about an hour and a half when Sunshine was literally pushing me off the couch. I very tired, and have nursed between every 30 min to hour for most of the day. NO MORE PIZZA FOR ME. I hoping that it is just a growth spurt that he is going through and will be out of shortly. Well Duck wants us to watch a movie with him.

December 25, 2006 Christmas Day
We got Sunshine up at 10ish this morning after sleeping for 12 hours strait. I think that he needed it because he was running a small fever. He has been a little cranky today, but was happy for the most part. We opened gifts and played all day. Nothing too exciting just family time and fun. Merry Christmas to everyone.
God Bless
