Good morning,

Its a day. 

Jeremiah has been up since six o'clock.   I wasn't precisely impressed.

I'm still sick.  OR whatever it is.   And I weeped on DH this morning.

I've really enjoyed feeling good.   And I'm not coping well with being sick.   Now for most of you that would be normal who *does* cope with being sick.  But I've been miserable so much I thought I'd be able to cope.   Apparently not.   So, I'm readjusting my attitude, and praying that either my ugly aunt comes, or I get some answers....

Zeria has done 3 pages of school this morning...and its 8 am.   Plus writing in her journal.    Don't know what the inspiration is.  LOL  But I'm NOT complaining.   She's also exchanging e-mails a couple times a week with my niece, and has a new girl she's going to write to today.     No Emily we haven't forgotten you, I was just sick. 

I have figured out what *some* of the nausea was about.  I got it to go away and was eating ok last night.  And then decided to have a sugar-treat.   Instant extreme nausea.   Another reason to avoid carbs, and I've been binging quite strongly on them for a week...so that may be what it was coming from.  *shrugs* 

Life moves on.  

And on a lighter note.....I played with my main charrie's signature picture.    I'm not saying how many hours. 

But I like her!   Its back to her playful side somehow.

 

Good evening.

Been a day.

I woke up this morning and five minutes later my dad was in the house for a visit.  It was fine the rest of the house had been awake for several hours.

I then had to run into my doctors for a thyroid blood test.  I was feeling *slightly* queasy before that, but when I walked into the doctors office it hit me like a ton of bricks.  :-X   I didn't throw up, but have spent most of the day feeling nauseous.

And yesterday, and the day before, and well since Friday.

I haven't said anything, because I know what *I'm* suspecting.   And I'm in de'nial.  its a really big river you know.

Rob is thinking similar things.

I really was sympathetic Lana when you were wondering where AUnt Flo went.  I'm rather wondering too.  I've been very regular since 7 weeks post-partum with Jeremiah.   I'm currently 4 days late.

I know, just buy a stupid test and quit obsessing.   Well I would have this morning, but I was quite convinced if I walked into a store I would have puked. 

God HAS a sense of humour right?   And I've worried about this before...and been wrong.

I do know this...we're still not in the "safe" zone after Rob's "v"   So it *is* possible.....

God has a sense of humour right?

It's a intresting ride I'm on.  I should just go buy the test.   But I'd rather believe I have a strange virus. 

Good morning

House is semi-tidy again *cheers*    Of course I have scads and scads of laundry to fold....

I've spent great portions of my day finding things.....

I never knew how valuable the game of hide and seek was for parenting.

You know shoes, coats, clothes for varying kiddos.  Cause no matter how much nagging is done...they just can't find 'em.

Is it too much to ask a four year old to put his shoes in his own personal shoe box when he comes inside????

Is it too much to ask a husband to put his own things away?

nevermind stupid question.

He's great for many, many, many things.

But if I had a dollar for how many times I found something that was in plain open site I'd be rich beyond my wildest belief.

Hide and Seek is a skill all girls must thrive at, because their going to spend the rest of their life playing it.....

under construction please bear with me....

Try three to load pictures.  *growls*   I'm not sure whats going on.

Guess what?  Jeremiah completely mastered rolling over today.   Even on hard surfaces.  He did it consistently this weekend on the air mattress.   But I wasn't sure if he could do it on hard.  He can.  *grin*

Both directions.  Although he rather shocked himself when he did it from his stomache to his back.    He had a look on his face like.  "How did that happen?"

Woooooooo it worked!   One picture uploaded.  I finally got Jerymiah's smile.  *grin*    And his beautiful very dark blue eyes.  (Yes their blue, but very very dark)  

                

Tis my first "real" smile picture.  And you can tell that I rather snuck it...its taken from lower so he couldn't see the camera.  *stink*

We had a fun trip.  We didn't do as much as we thought we would, and were still more exhausted then we thought we'd be.  But all in all was a blast. 

The beach we usually go to was PACKED.   The problem?  BEAUTIFUL weather.   We typically go in March to Seaside/Astoria so that the beaches are empty.  But we had 70 degree weather and everybody and their cousins were there.  So after some exploring we found ourselves at Del Rey Beach.   It was a lovely endless stretch of sand on which you could drive your cars.   We played for a long time there.

HMMM now its not uploading again.     This process is exasperating!!!

               

*cheers*  It loaded.

And because you could drive on it....we just *had* to try.  We've done it before with our old Astro.   But conviently forgot we hadn't done it with the  big white beasty.  15 passenger vans are *not* meant to be driven on the sand.

Actually they drive just fine...I just don't recommend parking.    Or stopping for extended periods of time.  *snort*

Sooooooo after two delicious hours on the beach.  We loaded up and tried to drive out.  Nope.  Nada.  NO movey.  Just dig ourselves deeper, and deeper, and deeper in the sand.

Big tall van....sand up to almost the top of the wheels.  BAD< BAD< SCENE.

                            

Push, grind wheels.  Dig in deeper.  Four big latino's stopped and generously offered to push.  NOpe nada.   Nice nice man with cell phone who lived nearby called tow truck.

Tide coming in.  Tow truck comes.    $125 we are on the hardpacked sand.

Lesson learned.

Mommy still snickering about it.   Man I'm glad we have towing insurance.....mind you we *just* claimed the last towing bill...good thing theirs no limits on it. 

Some day Rob will forgive himself.  ROFL

We did a lot of swimming, and a lot of just veging at the campsite.   Xanga is not precisely wanting me to load pictures.   So I think I'll stick with these three for now.  I *might* do some more tomorrow.

Sunday we decided to drive home on the Washington side of the Columbia just cause we could.  It was a beautiful drive.   We got to see the only still working covered bridge.  And drive over it.  (have pictures...maybe tomorrow)       We bombed up I-5 from there and made an extended stop at the Nisqually Bird Refuge.  

I wish I had brought my online addys with me.  Cause I really wished I could have gotten ahold of Dee.  I knew she would have been bored it was Sunday.  And then we could have finally met online.   Maybe I'll get it together some day.      

From the bird refuge we got lucky and ALL of the kiddos decided to nap.   So we made as much progress as we could without the every five minute potty stops.  And got home about 7:15 in the evening. 

I freely admit I am exhausted.   I love road trips, but they sure kill me these days.   Or is the six kid thing that kills me.  *snicker*    I was rather depressed as to how tired I was last night.   But after a nights sleep I decided I'd be willing to do it again...

in about six months or so.  giggles

Sooooooooo   maybe October?

 

Good morning,

We're back.  It was fun, and we're tired.  (big suprise)  I have lots of pictures, but haven't edited them.  Have to shrink em in order for them to get online.  So maybe later.

Its gorgeous today...rather strange considering its March.   I never thought I'd hear myself begging for rain in March.  But I am.  LOL

Lots of funny adventures, but I *have* to share the pictures to go with them, so I'll be good.

Be back after awhile.  *grin*

Picys of Jeremiah baby.  *grin*

This is Jeremiah learning to roll over....he's *almost* there.  But his durn arm keeps sticking him and he just can't quite make it.   He did it all the way through SS on Sunday, much to the distraction of a bunch of us who kept cheering for him.   "Go, Go, oooooooo not that time."  It was the best entertainment around. 

          

And Jeremiah and tummy time.

           

Look at that dark eyes aren't they gorgeous???   Girls here he comes!

Jeremiah has a thing btw against the camera.  He'll be smiling a beautiful smile...the camera comes out and instant scowl.     It drove my mil crazy.   She probably has a whole roll of film trying to catch *one* smile.  I still haven't mastered it.

And here we have Jeremiahs first voluntarily grabbing a toy.    But as I mentioned...playing is serious business thank you very much.

            

And this is the closest picture I have of Jerymiah smiling.   I "tricked" him *giggles*   And yes his name is spelled JEremiah.  But Rainee always calls him Jerymiah and its contagious *snicker*    

 

 

 

Good afternoon,

Its BEAUTIFUL outside, I so hope we get that kind of weather in Oregon.  *grin*

Did my grocery shopping and walmart run this morning.  And *cheers*  my new glasses were in.  I can see good again, no scratches, and mars.  LOL

Jeremiah was wonderful too which was a major bonus.  He usually has impeciable timing and screams when I'm unloading the grocerys for the clerk to check-out.  Today he just smiled.  It was a first.  LOL

I can get onto the r/p boards today.  another cheer.  Haven't gotten any bizarre messages.  *giggles*

Now I just have to get my new charrie signed up.   Like I needed another charrrrrrrie.

 

I've been surfing around finding bugs on the beta board.  Aren't I helpful???  Said incredibly sarcastically.

*breathes in deeply*

I'd just like to open one place and have it do what its supposed to.

Oh yeah...and remember which charrie I'm writing when I do.  Made a mistake on the new mystery board.  *GROWLS*

And every time I try to go in and fix it it boots me out.

I love beta stuffys.  *honest*

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

Now for 98% of my subscribers who have *NO* clue what I'm talking about I'll quit venting about that subject.

Both babies are asleep at the same time.  *woo hoo*   Oh, nevermind Rainee's awake.  Well it was nice while it lasted.

This morning was spent in errands of the very boring kind.    Rob got a ticket last Friday and we had to go pay it, and prove we had insurance.  *growls*    It was just soooooo much fun.

Yup I'm in a mood.

And both babies are awake and I only got one wee post done.  *sigh*  It apparently wasn't meant to be. 

And they woke up sooooooo happy.

Bangs head on desk again even harder then before.

We are planning on going to our favorite KOA this weekend.  *grin*  We got a stay one night get a second night free coupon in the mail.    We figured we should use it.   So we'll be headed to Astoria, Oregon for two nights.   Which means tomorrow I'll be scurrying around getting stuffys ready.

When Rob gets home Friday morning we'll load up and go.

It should be a nice little break.

Other then that life is on same-old-same-old mode.

*waves*

Have a day all!
