Headed to childrens in the morning.  So probably won't have time to get online.  Though hope to check the RP boards, but there so slow right now probably won't be anything.  Come on Jen you don't need to unpack you need to play   HEHE

Poor DH walked in the door from work I kissed him, went potty and said Good night, and slept like the dead until just before time for him to go to Evening Service.   I didn't get a nap and was DESPERATE.  He's a good dh, he just made dinner and went on about his business like it was normal. 

I was woke up by 4 kiddos coming into tell mommy goodnight.  They ran around the bed in a follow-the-leader parade giggling merrily.  It was all quite pretty as if in some kind of designed story book.  hehe.  I love my kiddos when their like that.

Xanga's new system to upload pictures is bazarre I can't determine if its actually uploading something.  I think I don't like their "improvements"  I think I also can't spell.  BWAHAHA 

If you didn't get to smile at my Kaylin picture come see it~~she'll brighten up anybodys day.    Okay maybe I'm prejudice

question how long do I wait to see if this picture is actually uploading?  GROWL 

I guess 10 minutes for one picture is enough.  Why the heck can't I upload pictures anymore????  Hmmmm apparently threats work.  I was just getting ready to go to bed and hit submit and wa-la.  One picture.  *sigh*  Its gonna take me a month to show you Easter at this rate. 

This is MariMan and Daddy.  Mari just discovered that those plastic eggs can be opened. *grin*  Makes this hunting for egg thing much more intresting.  The picture is taken in my parents orchard.  I love that orchard.  'Tis the reason I got married there.   

HMMM, xanga won't upload pictures for unknown reasons.  Or maybe I'm impatient.  I have some easter pictures to show if they cooperate, if not another day.

So, I was a bad mommy today and fed my kiddos cake for breakky.    And we had this discussion......

K;  Mom do I need this cut.

M; Just use your fingers

K;  But I need it cut

M; Its soft use your fingers

K;  But I need it cut

M; (exasperated)  JUST EAT IT!

Z; Mom can I have a fork

M; Just use your fingers

S; Mom can I have a fork

M; Just use your fingers

K; Mom, I need this cut

M; (exasperated) Fine everybody go get forks you don't have to use your fingers.

Now the whole time I was growing up it was don't use your fingers use your silverware.  How on earth did I corrupt my children so badly that I'm the one insisting on using their fingers?????????

Rainee Grace voluntarily took 4 steps while holding onto our hands yesterday multiple times.  So maybe our hard work is gonna work after all.  She's still extremely wobbly, but will keep working on it.  She wouldn't even consider stepping before, so this is progress.

Oh xanga is loading pictures, just slowly, cool.  I have some purdy ones to show. 

Tomorrow I'm headed back to Seattle, so no blogs, or posts at the boards.  We're going for Rainee's heart appointment.  Don't you wish they didn't chop bodies into little specialist parts, 'cause if they didn't it sure would cut down on Seattle runs.  And I have absolutely NO money for this trip.  I'm having to bring food with me.  (still have to do that tonight)  And I'm contemplating driving around to save ferry money.    *sigh*  If only the you have one a million dollars letters were based in reality.....

HMMMM, well I got one picture uploaded.  Before I lost all patience with my archaic dial-up connection.  This is Kaylin Joy Big girl.  Notice the toe-nail paint on the one toe-nail showing.  *grin*  Thats my girlie girl.

Did I mention I was a total tom boy.  Like MAJOR tom boy growing up.  And now I have these beautiful princess' to raise.  Gets mud and smears it on daughters and shows them mud is fun.  HEHEHEHEHE

My purdy.  Only this guy ain't purdy.  He's sadistic, evil, and I'm kinda scared of him.   Now I just have to figure out where to use him.....any takers? 

BRRRRRRRRRRRR.  We turned the gas stove off 'cause its supposedly getting warmer.  And I never learned how to turn the pilot light on, and we weren't gonna turn it on until this Fall.  But OY its cold, and if I knew how to turn the thing on I would.  Cause I'm FREEEEZING.     Been down on my stomache with a flashlight, but couldn't figure it out.  Guess I'll try again in a few minutes.

Vacation is officially over.  Poor DH has to go back to the prison, (literally)  and the creeps he works with.  Fortunately his co-workers are nice.  But the environment is so nasty.  He was not happy about going back he knows he'll be fine in a week or so, but its hard to go back to that environment willingly.   All I can say is its got good bennys. 

Rainee bug thought sleep was something to scoff at.  And was awake every 15 minutes for the first 5 hours of sleep.  I then propped her WAY up, and she slept a little better after that.  Although we were awake for the day at 5 am.  And its currently just before 7 am.  UGH UGH UGH.

We balanced our books, and lets just say we're cinching our belts up tight.  There will be NO money going out of this house except what is absolutely necessary.  And poor ds has a birthday this month.  I'm currently scheming as to how to manage that one.  *sigh*  The trips to Seattle are just killing us that and the price of gas for our stove.    We will make it, just have be CAREFUL.    Oh yeah, and a bit of overtime would sure help.  *grin*

Well thats the third time a kiddo has asked for breakky, so I better go.

I had all these lovely positive things I was gonna blog about.  And I can't remember any of them.

Oh except, for I think I just grew two StarGate addicts.  HEHEHE  My sons were extremely fascinated in it last night and watched avidly with me.  Girls were bored.  (Poor them they don't know what their missing)  I sure enjoyed snuggling with the boys though.
