  • Good afternoon


    I'd like 3 brownie points please.  I'm currently snacking on a boiled egg and carrots & dip.   No sugar.  WOO HOO


    Had a morning this morning.  Drove to town to deposit check with 6 kids and hubby in tow.  He came to spend his gift-card he got for Christmas at Big 5.    He did that successfully.   Then Rainee, Jeremiah and I went into my grandma's for a visit.  She was very out of it, it was a short visit, and I felt like crying.      And dang it I forgot my camera, so no pictures of Jer with his great-grandma. 


    She said "I'm just ready to go to Heaven."  I said.  "Apparently God still has work for you hear grandma."  "That's exactly what I believe."  she said and began to cry.  I personally wanted to join her. 


    She's been ready for 10 years.   The angry side of me would like to know why God doesn't let her go.  The shell she lives is just ick.


    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


    Awana starts again tonight my kids are happy.   And the house will be quieter tonight. 


    I'm holding onto my sanity...but its a hard thing to hold onto.   Hormonal as heck let me tell you.   Cry/scream/cravings come rapidly.   I've been skipping my meds way too often.   Rob has committed himself to reminding me for awhile, just cause I'm so comatose in the morning.   Gee could that be due to lack of sleep?


    Life moves on.   I'm setting a goal to begin exercising.  I thought out a reasonable one that I know I can manage with not too much work.  I'm hoping to walk 3 days a week.   Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday.  These are the most convenient days for our schedule.   Which is why I made the goal so specific.  Its not a new-Years-Resolution.  Just a I need-to-do-thing. 


    The first walk will be short...and I will slowly build up stamina.   I'm hoping to make it eventually a walk to SandHagan and back 3 days a week.  That would be 2 miles....and a steep 2 miles.    It can be done...just need to do baby steps.


     

  • Good afternoon


    Officially done being pregnant...*sniggers*  Had my post-partum check-up and done with the midwifes.  Actually was sad about that, they are both wonderful women and I'll miss seeing them.  I feel like they are my friends, and hope to bump into them around town a lot.


    Back to the weight I weighed before Rainee was born.  Which isn't a "wonderful" weight...but a lot less then I've weighed in awhile.  I'm so hoping that my thyroid does Not bottom out in a month or two, like it has with each pregnancy and I gain 30 pounds before I discover it.   *growls*  Please God?    I'm also gonna be checking it much more regularly then normally ordained.  LOL


    Jeremiah enjoyed being held by the nurse and receptionist and charmed them with one of his rare smiles.    He's currently laying down on a blanket kicking and wiggling.  This is rapidly becoming his favorite position. 


    But if we actually put him flat in a bassinet trust me he'll scream. 


    I'm seriously contemplating some cio on a modified form.  (crying-it-out)  As we have GOT to get a bit more sleep.  Continue to contimplate it.  An hour 45 in a row in not enough.  Mind you its more then I was getting when I was pregnant, but then it was just me being interrupted now its both of us, and I hate to see my husband so tired.  


    Won a tri-pod for $3.99 for my digital camera on e-bay last night.   (I think I can afford that.)   WAs excited as my camera has settings for night-pictures, and I experimented and got a "decent" one...but would have been better if the camera had been still.  Plus its got a setting for timer pictures so I can take family pictures with ALL of us in it.  So that will be a fun new toy.


    Other then that just adjusting.   And breathing.  


    Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say rejoice!

  • Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas....


    wait Christmas was last week.    We have a inch and a half of snow...and its 25 degrees F outside.  BRRRRRRR!


    The kids have been sledding and snowballing, although its so cold today their just not really intrested in it.  Jamari opened the door to go outside stood there for a minute came back inside and announced.  "It makes my hands cold."  (smart boy)


               


    Jeremiah is rapidly becomming a high maintance baby.  Rob and I are both of the opinion he's much more work then any of our other babies.  He'll help us confirm he's the last.  LOL


    I'm so glad he likes the sling, cause otherwise I'd go stir-crazy...oh wait I already am.


    Rob is exhausted as he's been sleeping with him every night.  And Jer wakes up every hour 45 to nurse.   He fell apart yesterday grumpy, growling, ornrey.   It is unheard of for him.   And this morning he went back to bed when I got up and slept past his alarm.  Also unheard of.  So I went in to wake him and talked him into taking a sick day.  The marvel was he agreed.  And is now sleeping.  *cheers*  Hopefully my happy husband wakes up.  *LOL*  You know he's tired when he agrees to take a nap.,......he just doesn't nap.


    My mom and dad invited us over for dinner Saturday night (just our family)  We haven't done that in a long time.  It appears my mom is starting to adjust to the new things, and maybe back to being my mom again.   It is a relief.


    Jer is growing like a weed (which explains his always eatin')  and will be 6 weeks tomorrow...wow that happened quickly.


    Other then that life moves on...and we continue to stagger through the newborn exhaustion.
