    I love my daughter.  But she's up for sale cheap.  Cause if I don't get some sleep soon,  I'm gonna be up for sale cheap.  Any buyers?  For one daughter who never sleeps, and when she does its 'cause she's pulled her oxygen out and her alarms go off?  


    And then as an added bonus she screamed for two hours last night,  appparently just 'cause she could.  


    She's cheap. 


    I have this majorly full overwhelming day.  And I just want to crawl back in bed.  Instead my hubby is there.  I got my chance.  And now its his turn.  And in 5 minutes we're all gonna put our smiley faces on and pretend like we're complete saints and go to church.


    Actually if anybody looks at me I'll probably start bawling and not stop until  hmmm not sure WHEN I'll stop.

  • John from xanga says we have a new toy.  *giggles*  So I'm trying out the new x-tools.  Looks good so far.    Shall we check out the smilies.  *snicker*



    Definitely an improvement.  Lots of more silly faces. 


    I like the bigger box too.  The true question is.....


    When I hit submit will the wretched thing show up.  *snicker*


    So, not sure what we're doing today.  Their having hydroplane races in PA, and that looks kind of tempting.  Never done it, but the boats are very cool and shiny looking.  I know my boys and hubby would like it.  What is it about men and motors?  And yep that's a rhetorical question.


    Rainee Grace is causing us stress.   The stupid arm restraints have NOT shown up.  So, there's another company online that looks a tich more professional, and I'm gonna try to order those.  *sigh*


    Poor money down drain see it wash away.


    Good news is thanks to no longer having a housekeepr we have a lot of extra money.  *snort*


    Had a lovely, lovely, lovely date with hubby last night.  Went to Downriggers for the first time in an eternity.  And then drove to Sequim to pick up something I had seen earlier for MariMan for Christmas.  He just LOVES horsies.  He loves horsies like Sam has always loved dinosaurs.  And at Big Lots I found this HUGE horse with a army guy sitting on top of it.  Its actually a "boys" horse toy.   But I didn't want him to see it.  *giggles*  Soooooo  we bought it and only for $20 which is a good price considering how huge it is. 


    The kids were extremely well behaved shopping yesterday, and I bought them $20 worth of paints, modelling clay, color crayons etc.  For the coming winter time stuck-in-the-house 'cause its pouring.   Although it doesn't seem that Washington state is ever going to get rain again.


    The fire I mentioned has increased from 125 acres to 475 acres.  The smoke is incredibly thick...and I guess its headed towards some Ranger Stations to burn up and burn up some more tax dollars.  Your government at work folks.  They KNEW this fire was burning from the day it started.   But it started naturally, and so they let it burn for a month until now its out of control, polluting the environment, and burning up buildings...gotta love the way the government thinks some how. 


    Yep, probably gonna get flame for that para.  Oh well, I can take it.  My father is a logger,  I have some fairly unpopular environmental opinions that I normally keep under tight lock and key 'cause I just don't feel like fighting.  *snicker*


    Okay then, running out of things to wander on about.  *giggles*


    Have a great day all, and don't forget to PLAY with your family.


  • Good morning   Waiting for Rob to get home from work.  And then I'm headed to beddy bye. 


    Have to run to Sequim to go to the bank today.  And probably will let the kiddos play at the park.   But other then that not sure what's going on.


    Rob has officially offered to cook Friday and Saturday night.   This should be intresting.  *giggles*  Of course that offer isn't 'quite' as good as it sounds.  ROFL  'cause do to the new circumstances in our life we are reinniciating I(I know that's not spelled right, and too tired to care!) date night on Friday nights.  I'm actually looking forward to that.  I'd missed them.  Getting away in the day time just isn't quite as nice. 


    Rainee mastered getting out of the oxygen AGAIN!   *sigh*  So I cut the prongs completely off the cannula and turned the oxygen up to 2 liters.  And just laid it under her nose.  She absolutely will NOT keep it IN her nose. 


    I keep waiting for the arm restraints that we ordered online to show.  I'm beginning to suspect they may not.  I haven't been cheated by a online company yet...but this may be the first time. 


    I haven't talked to Rob yet.  But I'm going to be investigating our insurance coverage and seeing if we can qualify for a night nurse to relieve us at least two nights a week.  They won't have to do much, just watch the pulse ox, and replace the wretched thing when Rainee takes it out.  again, and again, and again.  Our doctor seemed to think we would.  And now that we're on our own again it seems like we're going to need something.   And a couple nights of uninterrupted sleep would be DELIGHTFUL.


    Okay, time to go to bed.  Have a good night.


  • Okay, I really, really, really do try to be open-minded, and optomistic about the future.   Willing to expect the best from the 'next' generation.  But what is it about clouding up the blogring lists with blogrings like this?  And ummmm  isn't it HARDER work to type this way...then to just skip using the wretched capital button in the middle of a word????


    UGH.  What a bunch of major IDJIOTS!


    Picked up btw from the blogrings about "Family issues."

    pictures, pictures, pictures. 


    This is where we went on Saturday.  It is called Snyder peak.  Basically only locals know how to get here.  And wow is it worth the drive.    It is a old fire lookout on the top of the world.  Well it feels like your on top of the world anyhow....


                


    Here's my handsome sons checking out the drop off.  *giggles*  No fear of heights hear.  Unfortunately....VERY nervous place to be with kiddos who like to climb.  hehehehe



    And here we have the view.  Now is that a view or what?  The biggest mountain in the background is Mount Olympus.  



    And a slightly altered, but very proud of how it turned out view of Mount Olympus.


    Was gonna upload more, but gotta lay down as my back just quit on me.


    Sooooooooooo more later.
