Long time no post....

2008-06-21T09:38:00.002-04:00

Ok so I have not been posting on here much as of late. I was using myspace for some of my stuff but when I did not have internet at home it did not happen very much. Now I have it at home and I was feeling like I really did not want people at work and things knowing what is going on in my personal life. so I figured it would be good to start it up here again.

Any way the summer is finally here and I am already wishing we had AC in this house. With the girls always liking to be on my lab and everything like that it makes things rather hot.

Things at home have been just going. The girls are doing great though I did have to bring Morgan to the ER on wednesday for another ear infection. But they are growing up fast which I can not believe. But things in the marriage department are kind of tough at times. I am personally working on things that will help me and the girls out in the long run just in case. I am not saying anything right now but we shall see what the future brings.

Bad Mom...

2008-03-22T16:57:00.002-04:00

Hey I have not been on here in a while but I thought I might want to get it up and going again. Kind of more privacy of sorts.

Anyway last night I was out with Brent and the girls and was actually called a bad mother. Why, not totally sure. Skye was walking behind me and I had stepped back so I could grab her hand to walk across the street and some freak of a woman rolled down her window and called me a bad mother. THen said next time I should use protection. I told her to fuck off and get a job. I could not believe that some woman who had no idea who I was could say something like that. It was rather annoying.

Things are good!!!

2007-05-21T06:34:00.000-04:00

It seems as though summer is FINALLY here. I have been doing a little spring cleaning and putting away Skye's winter clothing and putting Morgan's out in a pile to do a garage sale possible at the end of summer or begining of next year (or both).

Due to a little situation with the MIL I did not get to go to the Woodbury garage sale this year, which was disappointing because I wanted to find a play pen for Morgan and Skye. And of course more clothing.

Today I am going to continue doing my spring cleaning and trying to organize the basement better. I was at the grocery store last week and they had some good sales that I just could not pass up so we have to much canned foods for our cuboards. So I am going to make some kind of area in the basement to put the extras. I am also planning on getting rid of the extra stuff that is down there and not ours. A bonfire sounds like it might be in order!!!

Morgan had her 2 month appointment on Thursday (ok it was about 1 1/2 half weeks late) and she weighted in at 11.13lbs (she started at 8lbs 10oz), 22 inches (started at about 19.5), and I forgot the head size but she was put in the 83% for that. The stresses though where Skye was tired and was throwing a fit, and then Morgan had to get her first dose of shots. That was just not fun!!!! It made for a long day but Morgan came through it like a trooper!

Well back to going through stuff!!!

Winter fun!

Sweet pictures!

It is all relative...

2007-02-15T06:53:00.000-05:00

So I was looking at my cousin's myspace.com page and I was just kind of ashamed in a way. The girl is 22, finally going back to school to get her GED and working. But still parties like she does not have a care in the world. But no she has a almost 2 year old child at home that my aunt takes care of more than she does. All you see on her myspace page is pictures of her drinking and going out with her friends. She tells me she is in school and working. When does she spend anytime with that child? UGH!!! It just bothers me because I know my poor aunt is working her butt off every day, plus then coming home and having to take care of her grandchild.

It is something she got herself into when she let my cousin get away with murder as she was a kid, but still there is a point when my cousin needs to grow up and take care of her own child. Even my grandma sees the issue, which is really sad because she is not there all the time (and thankfully has not seen the myspace page, she would have a cow!).

Ugh Why do I bother calling...

2007-02-15T06:34:00.000-05:00

So last week I was having some problems with the insulin and everything like that, so I called the after hours line. After sitting on the phone forever and getting the "nurse" trying to degrade me, all she could say was oh well call the clinic tomorrow.

I made the mistake of bothering to call again last night. I have been feeling like I was going to throw up off and on for the last day. So I called after work and sat there while she would not let me explain how I felt or let me say more than answer her questions. Then after having to sit on the phone getting annoyed with her for 1/2 hour, all she said was don't eat spicy food and call the clinic in the morning. What the hell help is that? I already am not eatting spicy foods (don't usually like them anyway) and I don't know if I could go much blander than I have been eatting as of late.

Starting off busy...

2007-02-13T07:02:00.000-05:00

Well started off at work yesterday VERY busy. I think I took 1/2 hour of my lunch if that, and then had to leave at 2:20 so that I could make my doctor appointment at time. I hurry over there to sit for 40 minutes because they are behind. UGH! I was like well at least I can get some reading done. So I got the ultrasound done, then went downstairs to do my NST, where I proceeded to take a nap. Then had to stop at the pharmacy to pick up some more needles. I did not get out of there till 6pm. I was like might have well stayed at work. GEEZ! So today I will be staying late because I am trying not to use to much time off for all these appointments. Last week I managed to only have to use .50 time off. This week I might end up going in on Saturday just to get some OT out of the deal as well.

Trying to organize!!!

2007-02-10T20:14:00.000-05:00

Well this place is looking like world war 3 went through! We have tried to keep things clean but it seems everytime that we get things put away...Skye keeps dragging out all of the toys we put away. At times feels like a never ending battle to me. So i am trying to get things organized a little so I can also figure out what clothes I still need for Morgan, which is probably a lot but that just means I can do a little more shopping. :)

I just feel so unorganized lately it is driving me nuts. Michelle is starting to grow out of her size 6/7 clothing so now I have to figure out where I am going to put that. I noticed that a lot of her tops are starting to look like crop tops, so that is not going to work for long.

However I have a TON of 4T thanks to my cousin, however I don't want them all out for Abby because we don't have the room and she does not need to have that much stuff out. Some how I need to figure this all out so that this place does not feel so crowded.

The other interesting thing will be what to do when the ex-inlaws go through Abby's old clothing and give them to Skye. GAWD I am going to have cloths for kids coming out of my ears.

what a week!

2007-02-08T13:16:00.000-05:00

Oh I am going to be happy when this week is over. Today I have to go and do my NST test which should be a lot of fun! NOT! Then Monday I have to go back for more testing, but today I have to deal with the fact they never gave me needles to do shots. Then I of course tell them to call me at work and they called my cell. GRRR!

Last time thank goodness...

2007-02-06T06:50:00.000-05:00

This is the last time of being pregnant and that is a VERY good thing. Yesterday because of my high blood sugars, I got to make a visit to the high risk doctor. And now Every Monday I have to go in and get a NST (this checks the babies heart rate), Ultrasound and see the doctor. Every Thursday, I get to go in and get an NST done until I have Morgan. There biggest fears are that she is getting to big, which she is already 6lbs and I have about 5 weeks to go.

And they are also worried about Ketones (Ketones are formed when your body's fat stores have to be accessed for energy. Normally, you eat food and then the body converts it to glucose/blood sugar for use as energy by your cells. Your insulin is then like a key, unlocking the door to the cell so it can access this blood sugar. In pregnancy, placental hormones make you more resistant to your own insulin (in essence 'warping' the key to the door) and make it harder to get that glucose from your blood into your cells. So while your blood remains high in blood sugar, your cells can be starving. The fetus absolutely must have energy, so if your pancreas cannot make enough insulin to overcome the hormone-caused resistance, the cells start accessing other sources of energy, like fat stores. The by-product of this is ketones. Ketones may be dangerous when pregnant, although this is controversial and still being studied and disputed. There were several studies that showed that babies exposed to a lot of ketones had learning problems and reduced IQ later in life. These have since been disputed by other studies, but just in case, everyone plays it safe during pregnancy, which is very prudent.).

So I also get to poke my finger 4 times a day to test my blood sugar. and when I get the correct supplies I get to give myself insulin 4 times a day as well. Hopefully 5 weeks will go by quickly!!!

Frozen pipes!!!

2007-02-05T06:03:00.000-05:00

Well Saturday I got up went to the bathroom and the toilet would not flush! Brent had taken the girls (minus Skye) to his friends house to stay the night. So I was trying to figure out what to do. I took a giant pitcher filled it up a few times with water and filled up the tank. Then of course the thing worked, then I tried to turn on the shower and nothing. Great Frozen pipes...well I did not have time to deal with it because I had to meet up with Brent and go meet the new daycare lady. All the time there though he was freaking out about the pipes and thinking the landlords would not do anything blah blah blah. I kept trying to tell him these people are not like Scott and Sue...they actually give a damn about us.

On the way home I stopped for gas (it was actually only 1.99 in cottage grove) and he went on to the house. He called to talk to the landlords and he said they were on their way. I told him, I knew they were not going to leave us without plumbing, specially knowing that I was pregnant. When I got home, they were already there and they had taken a panel down in Skye's room (which is right next to the bathroom) and were trying to warm up the pipes. It took them about an hour but they got the shower and the toilet working again. Plus Gloria had broughten over a birthday present for Skye a cute little star night light.

They got everything going then went to Menards, picked up a fan to blow on the pipes and help keep them flowing, and then a new filter as well. The stupid thing was how much he was freaking out about things. I think he is to use to the sucky landlords...first Marcelous who would not fix the ceiling or the leak in the basement of oil. Then Scott and Sue who's family was just plain rude to us! He was sitting there talking about moving out and all this other stuff. Packing up what we had and moving in with his dad for a few months blah blah. I did not do the freak out thing because I knew that they actually cared and would help out.

Cold pretty picture!!!!

2007-02-04T19:16:00.000-05:00

fustrated...

2007-02-04T14:24:00.001-05:00

Ok sometimes step-mothering is harder than mothering in my opinion! This morning I woke up to the younger of the two trying to wake the older one up. Then I go into Skye's room to find that she had been in there too because Skye suddenly had different toys in her crib. UGH! I have told her not to bug them when she wakes up several times and yet she keeps it up.

Opps...

2007-02-04T14:23:00.000-05:00

I was going to join the bandwagon and start putting bloggs on myspace. However I just came to the realization there are a few people I don't want to see them and they are on myspace. LOL One being Brent! Cann't bitch about whatever when it comes to his kids if he can read it. LOL

Unable to turn the mind off...

2007-01-31T06:25:00.000-05:00

So last night I woke up about 12:30 because of heart burn. so I got up had the last of the Tums and decided to do a few things on the computer. I got things together to be shipped from Ebay, then emailed someone that that a ring I had bought the stone had fallen out already and I have not had the thing more than a month. But then about 1/2 hour later I tried to go back to sleep but I could not because my mind kept turning.

I first started thinking I needed to write a letter to our old landlord requesting for the 4th time the money from the washer and drier he was suppose to be buying from us.

Then I got to thinking about other things I needed to do. One of which was write a letter to my cousin, and then one to the old daycare. Apparently she had left a message on Brent's phone demanding the money we owed her or else she would pursue it legally. It really got me annoyed because Brent did try to call her 12/31/06 to give her the money but she never called him back. It took her till 1/23/07 to even bother trying to call or reach either one of us about this matter. If this was so important or whatever then she should have been calling him back that weekend not waiting 23 days and treating legal action.

But the letter I was going to write would explain that, plus I would be going into a few things that have been upsetting me about her care as of late. First off that Deb has been found sleeping while there are children in the house. As late as 9am in the morning while the kids run around and do whatever. Second she allowed her grandchildren (who she now watches daily and until the daycare assistants goes through is not being paid for) to be there while they were VERY sick with an ear infection and something else. But if it would have been Skye or any other child she would have sent them home straight away. Third, she let her 13 year old son sit upstairs while the kids were running around and he had the flu.

Then to top everything off we had given her son the car we decided we did not want because it was going to cause to much issues fixing the dumb thing. And he still has not called us about changing the title over. So 2 weeks ago I had to shell out the money to have the title transferred to me, and now when I get the new one I have to force this title on to him. Then the stupid F*** sits there and drives the car and complained to me last time I had to hear from him in December, that he keeps getting tickets for no insurance. THEN STOP DRIVING THE CAR AND DEAL WITH THE TITLE ISSUE!!!!!

So it kept running through my head on how I could word the whole thing. Because I could seriously put a note on her record about the whole thing. And they would look into her through the licensing area. What I thought interesting is that she put this on his phone and not mine. Did she think she could intimidate him easier?

Back on the search...

2007-01-30T06:04:00.000-05:00

Well we finally had a daycare we liked and everything like that then...
She found out she was pregnant on Friday and is not going to do daycare anymore because she falls into the high risk catagory and does not risk loosing another child. She had lost one last year and did not want to take the chance again. So the whole thing rather sucks because she had said she could do weekends and whenever which we had talked about when I went into labor with Morgan she could watch Skye. So that idea is now out the window. So I am not sure what is going to happen now when it comes to me having Morgan. EEK!

Anyway, she did email me a list of other places. And I called about 10 yesterday. There were a few maybe's but mostly full people. Then there was one that would have taken Skye but can not take Morgan. But she seemed rather ideal in a lot of ways because she was 110 a week for either Skye or Morgan (which average I am finding is about 125 for Skye and 135 for Morgan till she is 1 year sold). I talked with her for a while and she took my name and everything like that just in case. But she also knew someone that did daycare in New Port and she was going to give that lady my phone number. But I am still going to interview the one that is 110 a week for back up because she said she would be willing to do that.

There was another one that sounded good but she was only open till 4:30 which just would not work because I don't even get off work till 4:30 on a good day. But I kind of liked her because she had programs and different kind of theme days. UGH!!! This is not fun!

something is up...

2007-01-29T06:59:00.000-05:00

Ok Skye must be fighting off something right now. Last night she woke up like 3 times but we could not figure out why. She rarely wakes up in the middle of the night so I am not sure what is going on with that. Poor little one!!!

Thank goodness though, I am not the one that had to go look in on here. LOL

Pregnancy Update...

2007-01-27T10:16:00.000-05:00

Well I found out that I have gestational diabeties again! Gee go figure, I did not see that one coming. Specially when I was 12 hours fasting and my level was already 130 and it is suppose to be 95. I don't know why they even bothered making me do all 3 hours when the first one came out so hi. The 3 hour glucose test was seriosly a major waste of time.

I am just not a good pregnant person that is all there is to it. Today I am feeling like I am going to throw up again, and just tired. I am so glad that there is only about 1.5 months to go.

I also sadly miss clothes that fit. That is the most anoying part to me, I can not wear any of the cloths I got for christmas or anything like that. It is like I have htis whole closet starting at me just taunting me. Good thing this is the last one...LOL
