Another "one word"

From my Mommy...Dedicated!

I worked last night!

Last night I worked swing shift treatment nurse. I love it. It was a very smooth night, alot of patients, but somehow turned out pretty easy. One lady in beginning stages of Alzheimers, as I entered the room with her medication, she looked at me and I knew it was NOT gonna go well. So, I told her my name, and said, "I have your medication." She looked up and said, "I'm not taking any medication. YOU TAKE IT!" So, I left the room. The tried once more 15 minutes later. This is a magical amount of time it seems. As I entered the room this time, she looked up, I said, "HI!" She said, "HI!", I said, "I have your medication!" She said, "Okay, I'll take it!" She had no memory of me ever entering the room 15 minutes earlier. And, then there was a CNA, telling jokes told to him by a patient, elderly man, and here goes..."Superman is flying high above Gotham City, he sees Wonder Woman lying nude spread eagle on top of a building, he flies down to take advantage of this opportunity (I'll leave out the exact wording), afterward, Wonder Woman goes, "what the *ell was that?" The Invisible Man says, "I don't know, but my butt sure is sore now!" HA!...NOT! But atleast the patient knew he musn't tell a female CNA or Nurse such filthy things. So disgusting...

When I got home, the kids were all still awake, Hub watching 'ultimate fighting'. I swear men watch such brainless things. So...I cleaned up some, and got to bed. Babies slept till 7am this morning, I got the pup out of her crate and took her out. She is so cute, and really such a good puppy. I got her a toy called a KONG, I guess they are a very popular dog toy, you can get all different shapes and sizes, you stuff peanut butter into them, stick it in the freezer, then get it out for when they need something to chew on, or are anxious, like when you leave the house, or to get them in the crate. It's working great! She loves it, and Bubba does too, he stole it from her, HA! I'll have to get him one of his own. Poor Bubba!

Kids and Email

Here is an email my daughter recieved from her best friend, who just brought home a new baby sister...

"hailey jessica wyatt born july 39th 4:00 sunday 8 pounds 9 onces i have a new little sisster she is sooo cute 3 days old brown hair blue eyes 20 ina half inches long shes an angel "

LOL! Wasn't that just adorable?

Keepin' busy

Today Grace had a play date with a friend, went to ThrillVille for the day, and spent the night tonight. I took the little ones to Takena Wading Pool/Park. Beau loved it! Leah was just fussy, and Drew was in and out, not sure what she wanted to do more, even though she begged to swim all morning. They have a rock structure for the kids to climb, bigger kids, and Drew was in flip flops and her swim suit mind you, demanding that I help her climb this thing. I said, "Absolutely not! Another day when you are dressed and have tennis shoes I will." She said,"I'm gonna climb it all by myself then and jump from the top!" I said, "NO YOU'RE NOT!" She finally relented. I swear that girl is the epitomy of a middle child, the most drastic cross between girly girl, and tomboy! And sooooo stubborn! It got to be more than a handful once Beau started running back and forth from wading pool, playground, and everyone elses blankets. Leah started screaming for booby. Had to pack up and go. And it had only been 1 hour. Oh well... later this evening we went over to my Mom and Dad's for my Sisters birthday dinner and cake. The big 2-6! I had ordered an icecream cake from Baskin Robbins. I had them make the cake to look like a Tiffany's Gift Box , only I had to add the ribbon. I found the idea on the internet since my Sister adores the movie, 'Breakfast at Tiffany's', and idolizes Audrey Hepburn. Only I had no time for fondant, and it was too hot to bake a cake! I had wanted to get her an Audrey Hepburn purse, like the one's you see in the middle of the mall. I have a Marilyn Monroe one. I think she would really like one. But I have to go all the way to Salem or WA for that, so it will have to wait for next year. Or Christmas. I had already gotten her a shirt that says, "Brown Eyes Hypnotize", and a panther neclace. She thinks she's too fat to wear the shirt though. She obviously hasn't taken a good enough look at me then huh?
After that was done, I took the babies grocery shopping with me. Had to get a few things. Got more than that, like always. Think I need 2 things, end up with 20. Beau had his usual free cookie from the bakery. Leah, ofcourse, screamed the whole time till booby stared her straight in the face at checkout. Got home, threw groceries inside, took babies out back to water garden alongside me. Beau "mowed the lawn" for me. Heehee. Let the puppy run wild a bit, put her to bed. Bathed babies, both were sweaty, stinky babies. I washed Leah, as Beau washed his "baby",( which is Drew's water baby doll). He's such a good little Daddy! Then, soon after, the babes went to bed, and here I am blogging. I am sooo tired. Gotta get to bed. That last load of laundry can wait till tomorrow!

Scattered thoughts...

Well, past few days been trying to keep cool. Cleaning and refilling swimming pool, taking walks (trying to, it's too hot!), trying to get a chance to water flowers. Babies are NOT in sync lately. I am debating taking 1/2 my hair off. Gotta lose some of this fat that is keeping the heat in! Leah is already in a size 3 diaper! What the? Beau really needs to start potty training, he freaks every time he soils his diaper. Note to self: Gotta buy a potty chair. I just don't know how I am ever gonna get the chance to work hard on the puppy training. I have baby, baby, baby needing me all day long. I have sooooo much laundry to do. Amazing since I have so few clothes, fat ones, need to lose weight to wear skinny ones. I think I wear the same thing over and over and over. What will happen when they get holes, stains? I ♥love♥ my fat, drawstring capris. I ♥love♥ my perfect tees from old navy. I sure have a handsome husband. We never get enough time together. I work, he's home, he works, I'm home. We NEED to talk. We NEED time together. Down time. When was the last time we went anywhere on our anniversary? Pre-Beau? WOW! Well, fixed that now, no more babies. NO MORE BABIES?????? (sobbing)...Grace is an amazing kid. I hope she takes the news okay. Drew really needs a nap every day. How is she gonna function in Kindergarten? Beau is the most handsome boy I have ever seen in my life. He is the most perfect boy I could ever get. Leah is rolling over. She sure is FAT! Looks like the pillsbury dough boy. She was so funny tonight. Laughing so much, interacting with 'peek a boo'. I just ♥love♥ those kids. Man, I'm tired. I gotta get to bed. When am I gonna get that laundry folded???

TV dinner night

OMG, look what that boy did with his dinner!
Gotta have a laugh.

Hallelujah!

Woohoo! Jack is back! I picked him up from the airport last night. I was sooooo happy to see him. He looked so handsome. Gosh, I missed him so much more than I would have thought. I was able to go all by myself to pick him up, which is a first in forever for us to be alone for any length of time. Now we are back to 'normal'. I realize now just how much I need him. I just ♥ him to death!

My Babies, My Heart

♥Goodmorning my Loves♥

Feelings of...

POWERLESSNESS, fear, ANGER, resentment, LOVE, disbelief, hatred, CONFUSION, safety in jeopardy, seperation...

Couldn't say it any better!

DON'T MESS WITH MOM

My son came home from school one day, with a smirk upon his face.
He decided he was smart enough, to put me in my place.

"Guess what I learned in Civics Two, that's taught by Mr. Wright?
It's all about the laws today, The 'Children's Bill of Rights.'

It says I need not clean my room, don't have to cut my hair
No one can tell me what to think, or speak, or what to wear.

I have freedom from religion, and regardless what you say,
I don't have to bow my head, and I sure don't have to pray.

I can wear earrings if I want, and pierce my tongue & nose.
I can read & watch just what I like, get tattoos from head to toe.

And if you ever spank me, I'll charge you with a crime.
I'll back up all my charges, with the marks on my behind.

Don't you ever touch me, my body's only for my use,
Not for your hugs and kisses, that's just more child abuse.

Don't preach about your morals like your Mama did to you.
That's nothing more than mind control, And it's illegal too!

Mom, I have these children's rights, so you can't influence me,
Or I'll call Children's Services, better known as C.S.D."

Of course my first instinct was to toss him out the door.
But the chance to teach a lesson made me think a little more.

I mulled it over carefully, I couldn't let this go.
A smile crept upon my face; he's messing with a pro.

Next day I took him shopping at the local Goodwill Store.
I told him, "Pick out all you want, there's shirts & pants galore.

I've called and checked with C.S.D. who said they didn't care
If I bought you K-Mart shoes instead of Nike Airs.

I've canceled that appointment to take your driver's test.
The C.S.D. is unconcerned so I'll decide what's best."

I said "No time to stop and eat, or pick up stuff to munch.
And tomorrow you can start to learn to make your own sack lunch.

Just save the raging appetite, and wait till dinner time.
I'm making liver and onions, a favorite dish of mine."

He asked "Can I please rent a movie, to watch on my VCR?"
"Sorry, but I sold your TV, for new tires on my car.

I also rented out your room; you'll take the couch instead.
The C.S.D. requires just a roof over your head.

Your clothing won't be trendy now; I'll choose what we eat.
That allowance that you used to get, will buy me something neat.

I'm selling off your jet ski, dirt-bike & roller blades.
Check out the 'Parents Bill of Rights', It's in effect today!

Hey HOT SHOT, are you crying, Why are you on your knees?
Are you asking God to help you out, instead of C.S.D..?"

Send to all people that have teenagers or have already raised
teenagers, or have children who will soon be teenagers or those who
will be parents
someday OR ANYONE WHO'D JUST GET A LAUGH

From a MOM (Mean Old Mother)

Lazy Day

I think I was in my PJ's today until approximatley noon. Crazy I know. But, hey, I have 2 babies people! Not 1, but 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2!!! And it is coming to a point that niether of them naps at the same time EVER, let alone naps at all some days. So, as Leah was screaming, Beau napping, I became enthralled with cleaning the bathrooms. I went to clean the main bathroom, which the girls use most often, and there was this overpowering stench of mold. I searched and searched for where it was coming from, but every time I got warmer, I lost it! Still can't figure it out. Anyway...got that done, and Leah had fallen asleep, ON HER BACK, so I quick ran and hopped into the shower. We got around, went into town, had to buy some more swim diapers for the boy. I went to big lots, had a coupon for 1.00 off huggies swim diapers, well everyone, BIG LOTS TAKES NO COUPONS, if you didn't already know this. Really pissed me off! Had to have them anyway...Drew, my five year old, she had gem money earned, and she decided to buy a skateboard, a barbie one. Yes, a skateboard, even though she recently flew from one and nearly bore a hole in her chin. What can I say? She's my rough, and tough one. The pretty little tomboy. Grace said, "MOM, your gonna let her get that?" I was like, "It's her money." She'll learn. Gotta pad her chin with an ABD pad first. Ha!
This evening, after we got home, we all headed to the back yard. My husband is gone for a few days, so I have charge of watering his garden , along with all of my flower beds, which I am deeply regretting to have made, I have NO TIME for them now! I put the baby in her stroller, she was okay for a bit, as I cleaned out the kiddy pool, boy at my side waiting for his turn at the hose. Then, as I started watering the garden she began to scream, and scream she did the whole time! I gotta get things done around here! While she was screaming, the boy was pretending to ride the lawn mower, and I still watering the garden...the puppy decided she fit through the fence and went into our back nieghbors yard. I only have 2 hands here, I can't do this all alone! WHY ME? I dearly love this pup, but I cannot be hunting her down! Once she finally came back through the fence, (I could not jump over this 10 ft tall cyclone fence), she went right back on the leash. What was I thinking? I have 3 babies to care for now!

JACK...COME BACK! I'M LOSING MY MIND!

Water+The Boy=Double the Water Bill

We spent the evening outside in the backyard trying to cool off, poured myself into my one piece, (HA, more like stuffed myself.) I sat in the lawn chair overseeing the activities. The girls playing with the pup, or swimming. The boy, climbed into the pool, regular diaper, unbeknownst to me filled with poop, so exited pool with water logged poop filled diaper sagging practically to his ankles. What a sight! He was walking beau-legged...like that one? heehee. I turned on the hose to water a few flowers, the boy quickly tagged along, and he insisted on watering the bark instead of the flowers tonight. What a struggle that was! After I finished, he took charge of the hose, filling the pool some more, watering the grass...all naked. He pulled with all his might, the hose over as close to our rott as possible, once he was satisfied he began to wet his hands, then run over to Bubba and rub him as if he were giving him a bath...thanx Daddy! He did this for about 10 minutes, then decided to fill the puppy food scoop with water, and watering the ivy along our fence. This kept him busy for quite some time. Running back and forth, soooo naked. WHERE DID THIS BOY COME FROM? All these girls, sitting around, whining, and this ♥amazing boy♥, watering my flowers, bathing the dogs! He's just wonderful. After he finished the watering, he started running all over the yard, and apparently ran right through the poopy, water logged diaper I had not yet thrown away...So he was running with his poop on his foot. Had to turn the water back on, and hose him off. Silly boy! Yeah, the girls kept whining, "WHY DON'T WE HAVE A BIG POOL LIKE EVERYONE ELSE?" Hmmmm...I wasn't aware that everyone else had one. Well, we have 2 sprinklers, so HA!

My Old Home Town

Today we took my Husband to the airport for a trip to visit his Dad. The boy just loves airplanes so I was hoping to get to take him inside to watch some planes land and take off, but I would have had to pay for parking, so we just dropped Daddy off at the terminal. Maybe another time...On the way back, we stopped in my hometown and ate lunch at the park. I had chosen this park for what I thought it may still have, one of those large metal bar dome climbers?! You know what I mean...you may not, oh well. It didn't have it, but it did still have a few other play structures left from when I was a kid, so my kids played for awhile, I fed Leah, and we ate some McD's. The boy went through a few periods of extreme panic when he heard a train coming by, even though he couldn't see it, he was scared to death that it would get him! LOL.
It was so strange driving through the town, everything seemed 10x smaller than ever before. Alot of things were different...some better, some not. I wondered if any of my friends actually still live there. Probably not. Anyway...enough reminiscing...
We are home now, and the boy is in the crib for the 2nd time, still no nap, still screaming...Leah fell asleep on my bed, ON HER BACK, and Drew is a big, mean, green, whining machine. With Daddy gone, it is so quiet...miss him already. Maybe we will watch a movie and have popcorn, given it cools down some tonight.

Mommy, Don't cut my hair EVER again!

I made an ill-fated attempt last night to cut the boys hair with my husbands clippers. I thought, "I can do this!" I mean, how hard can it be? It's not like I could ruin a boys hair cut! HA! I did. I whacked it, the clipper guard fell off and I shaved a chunk out. It kept falling off, and the boy kept wiggling, crying, eating hair...So, Yeah, gonna pay from now on to have it done I think. My friend came out and helped even it out so it was at the very least all the same length. MY POOR HANDSOME! He looks military now...and he's only 18 months old.

Whiney Preteen

Yesterday morning I made the 10 year old get up at 8am to help with the new puppy. As she was climbing down from her loft bed, she said to me, "ARE YOU KIDDING? I HAVE TO GO OUTSIDE WHEN I JUST WOKE UP?" I was like, "You are not gonna sleep until 10, get up and help by making sure she has water, and letting her off the leash for 1/2 an hour." She just kept protesting...I had both babies awake at 7am, neither ready to go down for napping for awhile. So, Grace got up, took her blanky, and pillow and parked herself on the couch. Hmmm...I told her to go get the pup, bring her in for awhile, she did. Then the pup fell asleep on her blanket, and I told the girls to go get dressed, and eat while the pup was sleeping so they could take her out to play when she woke up, just like a baby! They whined, and whined...both wanted a puppy, but neither wants to take care of her. Ironic. I can threaten with getting rid of her, but I want her, and so does the boy, and Daddy. So, pull the big guns out. Later in the day I kept finding Grace in the house, beautiful day outside, yet she was glued to the TV. I told her over and over, GET OUTSIDE! I had to tell her this just before I started cooking dinner, her excuse this time..."I feel sick." OH, poor baby, THEN GET IN BED! So, I go on about cooking dinner, go and check on her, she's sitting at her desk drawing, singing, listening to music...I said, "Get in bed, your sick!" Her response, "I didn't say that!" Am I hearing things or something? I must be going crazy here. After dinner, her friend called, and asked for her to ride bikes, I said, "No, you cannot go play, your sick, remember? If your too sick to go outside with the puppy, then your too sick to play!" ..."Well, I'm not sick anymore...Please?" Sooooo much drama!

Teen Trouble

Well, I work a whopping 1-2 days a week now, and seems every time I do, some dramatic event occurs on the homefront. Last night, I got a phone call before I even got through half a shift telling me that the 5 year old was using the 15 year olds skateboard, hit a crack and flew, hitting her chin and splitting it open. As she balled, bloody chin running all over, Beau ran over and started balling, then Leah started in, and the puppy pee'd on the floor. He lost it, ran to tell Grace to help with the puppy, Heather to help with Beau, outside. They went outside, sat in the lawn chairs, and did nothing but look at the puppy and watch Beau cry. Darrin told Heather, "Play with Beau!" She argued back, and he said, "your grounded", she spouted out, "NO, I'm not!", he told her "yes YOU ARE!", he told her to go to her room, and she said," Glad to!" So, he was in the back yard and she ran off, hid her internet adapter so he couldn't take it away. Did end up coming back, and had just gone to the park down the road, "to think".

NO SWIM...yeah, right Mom!

I was outside with the boy yesterday, we wandered around the yard, and I saw that the pool needed cleaned out since it was all green. I started scrubbing the bottom with a big brush, and I told the boy, 'no swim, yucky!', I kept scrubbing, and all the sudden he just dove in, no warning, shoes and clothes on into that mucky, yucky, grosser than gross water! Should've known I couldn't tell that boy no swim, WHAT WAS I THINKING? I pulled him out, stripped him naked, finished the pool, and started refilling it. He stood in the middle, naked, holding the hose as it filled.

The boy...he is just so darn full of surprises!

Yesterday I was vaccuming, (my 3rd day in a row of this, LOL, it's summer, dirty feet and puppy now) and so the boy had to follow suit with his little fake lawn mower. Then I washed the glass end table with windex, he intently watched my every move, then I handed him the paper towel to pretend wash the table after me, well, he did just that, only he soaked the paper towel the puppy drinking water then went back to the table and washed it! My little love!

Also, yesterday we had to take the Evie, and my mom's puppy Audrey to the vet for thier first distemper, worming, and a check-up. Turns out they have absolutely NO fleas, YAY!, and they informed us that a rhodesian ridgeback, which is what our pup is taking on more of the traits of, grows to be as big as a Great Dane! WHOA! Knew she would be big, but not that big...They gave us a puppy kit for each pup which included a free bag of science diet food, first dose of advantage flea medication, and a vaccination record. The trip there and back was nothing short of stressful...my sister sitting in passenger seat trying to keep her pup quiet and still, our pup in back jumping all over Drew, and Beau screaming and screaming for who knows what, ALL THE WAY!!! Gotta ♥ 'em!

OMG this morning... it was so hectic. Leah screamed each time I put her down, trying to either feed me or the boy, or someone else! Leah somehow managed to lose an earring, I searched everywhere, finally found it in her swing, but no back. Think the boy pulled it out of her ear when she was sitting in the swing as I was cooking breakfast. Anyway, we found an alternate back to put on, and all is good. After the marathon of feeding, changing diapers, getting babies dressed,getting girls hair brushed,and taking care of puppy...I am taking a time out. Crazy mornings!

Lovely Leah

♥♥♥This baby I adore! ♥She is so beautiful, so wonderful!♥ Thankyou God♥♥♥
