Good evening

Well, I made my kiddos happy.  After putting up with 15 minutes of their hysteria.  Their ride didn't stop for them to take them to Cubbies.  And I already have three babies asleep.   And refuse to wake them, its been a LONG NASTY WET GROSE DAY!

Anyhoo, I finally SOS'd my sister and offered her $10 to come and get them.  She being 17 and desperate for money accepted.    They'll be a tich late, but their happy, and that is ALL that matters around here. 

I'm not being a good mommy.  I am so anxious for a break.  I NEED to get away before my kids put a for sale sign up on me.

I didn't sleep last night, and it wasn't purdy.  And well I'm a boitch tonight.  *sigh*

Father God, I'm sorry I'm not coping well.  Please give me the strength to start over.  And to enjoy my kids.  In your sons name, Amen

Its my new purdy.  Its my siggy picture for my Barbara Rain character.   What do ya think?  PSSST if your not into role playing, you may think I've just completely flipped my lid doing this.  ROFL   But thats okay.  I'm havin' fun. 

Conversation I held on the way to church with my kids.

Princess;  "Mom why are we going slow?"

Mom;  Because the sand truck is in front of us and I don't want to get hit by a rock.

Princess;  How would we get hit by a rock,

Mom;  By the sand truck dumping sand out of the road in front of us.

HD; Mom whats that in front of us?

Mom; Its the sand truck

HD;  What's it do?

#$@*#($&*@*(#$*@#&$@(*#&$@*(#*$&@(#*&$(@

Okay what I should have said.  Its a big dragon.  And it takes little girls and boys who ask questions but don't listen to the answers and carrys them off to a great island where they will never get their answers answered again, and they will have to dig to supply the dragons hoard.  They probably would have just said "OH", and we could have been done with it. 

Mornin'

My kiddos woke up at 6 am due to it being light outside.

EWWWWWWWWW

They have not come down yet they are still terrorizing their bedrooms.

Rainee has learned to sit up in her crib.  She fell asleep sitting up last night.    I took a picture 'cause it was just too funny.  Unfortunately my camera's in the room where she's sleeping, and I'm NOT disturbing that scenario to get it.

She has a nasty bug again. But, so far the wheezes haven't gotten too severe.   Time will tell how it goes.

We got about 2.5 inches of snow.   Not sure if its enough to sled in or not, but I'm sure the kids will want to try.  Yesterday I bundled them all up, and got them out, and they were all back inside in about 2.5 minutes.  OOPS.  Cold, and wet of course.

Church today, and I'm not really in the mood.  Terrible me, so I hope the mood gets better soon, I'd rather just crawl back in bed and forget I have kids. 

Well,  I don't know what everybody will think, but heres my Garden World Graphic.   Its my second attempt at going this off-the-wall.  Give me your opinions.  Oh and be gentle. 

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas everywhere I go.  Okay, well not everywhere, but out my windows.  WE have a inch of snow, and its coming down hard.  My kids are cheering it on~~they want to go sledding~~problem, I don't know where the sleds are, guess I'll have to figure that little scenario out.

I did a nice long blog yesterday, and its floating around in cyber space 'cause its sure not on my site.  *sigh*

I hate Saturdays I keep hitting refresh on the puter, and nobody's flirting, or talking with my charries, oh thats 'cause they have a life on Saturdays.  bwahahaha

I have however actually gotten house work done, in between bouncing a cranky baby in my arms~~I can do that an type at the same time  

Oh, and you can see the floor in my van again.  The kiddos helped me find it.  It had been missing for several weeks.  Now I just have to find homes for all the stuff that was living on the floor.  (EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW)

I have a lovely cream of chicken soup in the crock-pot, and I think its gonna be just perfect on this icy cold day.

Oh yes, and well the Bug has Pneumonia again.  (is this 7 times?)  I haven't taken her to the doctor, but I know what it sounds like.  We're so far only having to do atrovent, so far so good.  But I'm sure the albuterol dance is around the corner.  

DH fixed my couch, and my favorite chair yesterday, you can actually sit in them without falling through.  WOO HOO   Hey, I might not be poh white trash any moh.

Now if I could just get the floor mopped, but thats a waste of time to even attempt when the kids are awake.  My sis was supposed to come and do it, but alas she don't drive in snow. 

HMMMMMMMMMMMMM   Rainee's happy again quick I'm gonna go fold laundry.

Sad life it is when I'm excited I can fold laundry in a free moment. 

Guess what my kids did today.  I bet ya in a million years you'll never guess.    And in order to find out you have to come visit my site 'cause a picture is worth a million words.  hehehehehe  And you wouldn't believe me if I didn't show pictures. 

Can we all say BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR now?

And yep that was a big hint. 

bwahahahaha

Good morning

Yesterday was a good day.  I think the choice I made to NOT tolerate the Princess' 'tude made life much easier.  I guess I had allowed things to slide too much.  Gee, I wonder why, its not like I wasn't distracted with a 100 other things. 

We made an executive decision to not go to see the Wiggles.  We are so at peace with this.  As a result Rob already has the day off....and gets to go to morning church with us.    He so rarely gets to do this, I'm so excited for us.

After church we will nap, and then maybe go to the beach, or maybe just sit and stare.  We don't have to be anywhere, so we can just stare if we want.  Gotta love that feeling.

Took the kids to town yesterday, and found a beautiful dress for Princess.  I bought it for her for a Easter dress.   And then remembered we're not gonna be hear on Easter, and probably not even anywhere near a church.  HMMMMMM maybe I'll have to let her wear it today.   BWAHAHAHA

Now, if I could only find my camera I'd take pictures of it when its on.

We also got Midge some new Sunday shoes.  Currently all she owns is purple rubber boots.  Her Sunday shoes have been missing for several months.  Shoes seem to walk away at our house.  Have you seen them walking by your house?

In regards to what the Princess says.  Yep, she's only 5.  And she constantly atonishes people with what comes out of her mouth.  Typically she says good, cute and sweet things.  But as we all know the tongue is a powerful weapon.  Sooooo  gonna continue to train it.  She was actually sweet for a whole two hours yesterday, so I'm thinking it might be working.  Who knows.

I am having so much fun playing at House of Elf right now.     I never knew that I could get this creative.  And currently I'm actually flirting with a giant.  bwahahaha.  I've never been a flirt, so this is kinda fun.....snicker

Ok, nak so typing time is up.

Good morning

Well yesterday was a long day.  My kids pretty much punished us all day long for leaving them behind.  (Like we had a choice)  I was ready to go back to Seattle by the end of the day.

Princess actually got be bawling (fairly hysterically)  Of course part of that bawling was just the stress of the last few days, but part of it was her nasty words.

Today we have declared a nice word day.  Every time she says something mean she's gonna be sucking on some teriyaki sauce.  (she hates it) 

She informed me yesterday, that all I ever do is play computer (not true, I've cut my time down immensely, and rarely am on when they are awake)  That the only people who take care of her are Grandma, J'dai, Rissa, and Christina, (mommy wasn't included on this list.)    She then said when she saw that I was getting upset, that maybe I should take a paxil.  This was the straw that broke my back.  

After completly stressing over her all last week, she turns this kind of garbage on, and she's only five years old.  I know partly she's repeating things she's heard, but it did NOT sit well.  And she will be learning a bit more respect if it kills us both.

She's been pre-warned that nice words today are in order, and has already got in trouble once in regard to it.

Yesterday we finally sent her to her room for the night at 4:30.  She'd been given the last warning, and made nasty, nasty faces at me when I wasn't looking.  (Rob was~~so off she went)  

I KNOW she's dealing with all of her abandonment issues.  I KNEW she would be before we left.  BUT, that does not excuse rude behavior.   I spent most of my day snuggling kids, and cuddling them.  And will do so again today,  BUT, she's gotto be nice!

Okay got that out of my system.  (maybe)

In regards to the procedure.  Rainee really did do well.  I was the nervous wreck.    Our pastor and his wife came over to sit with us while she was in the surgery.  We were without her for 3 hours.  It was a terribly long 3 hours, seemed more like 3 days.  And stupid old me didn't pack my pump, and hadn't nursed Rainee in 9 hours, so I became extremely engorged.  I finally went and hand-expressed in the bathroom. (yuck)   And then just began leaking everywhere.  My shirt was SOPPING wet, and it was highly embarassing.    Well, so we finally get Rainee back, and she didn't want to nurse.  She basically didn't nurse all day because she was so out of it from the anesthestic.  They do this on purpose, so the wound won't break open where they put the cath in.    BUT oy, was I in pain.

Rob finally had to go buy some ibuprofen for me.  Such a lovely day.    I'm extremely bonded to my daughter lol

I will say this though, she wouldn't nurse, she did stay latched on most of the day.  Every time I tried to give her to Rob she woke up, and started fussing, and rooting.  I'm so glad I nurse, and was able to comfort her that way!   Even if I did get sopping wet.

She finally did nurse a bit, and then puked it ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL over me.  So that went quite well with the breastmilk.  BWAHAHA  I changed shirts, and she puked on me again.  (YUCK)  I finally wouldn't let her nurse for awhile, and they gave her some anti-nausea medication and some pedialite (YUCKY YUCKY  YUCKY)  But it worked, and it was the end of the pukes, so alls well that ends well.

I know way more details then you wanted to know, but their details that are important to me, so disregard if your grosed out

So, I'm in major pain, and have cold chills, and hot flashes.  I'm not sure if its after-stress or a flu-bug.  I started doing it in Seattle, and its continuing on.   I've also been fairly nauseous, but only threw up the once in the motel.  Its a great way to take care of 5 kids today. 

Couldn't life be normal for one whole day?

We're supposed to go to the Wiggles tomorrow.  Rob has the day off for it.  We've spent the money (way too much of it.)  And it sounds like such a terrible lot of work.  I think if I'm feeling this way tomorrow, I will tell Rob to pretend we don't have the tickets.  (The kids don't know about them.) 

If we had KNOWN Rainee's surgery was gonna be scheduled when it was we wouldn't have bought the tickets, but we bought them a LONG time ago, so I guess we're just out of luck if we choose not to go.

Whine, whine, whine.

Okay, I'm gonna shut up now.   Cause I'm depressing myself.  I've posted a ton at Castle, and House of Elf, because its a GREAT escape from reality right now.  And reality can just be hard work some days!
