Today Doug and I went for lunch and after we took a drive so I could see the new Vera Patterns for Fall. I didnt know what to buy so we walked over to Apple. This is where being Spoiled comes into play. Doug bought himself and me the new IPhone3Gs. I know both of us are working on a lot and he wanted me to have it because it could record video.. but I told him I didn’t need one that day. I was more than willing to wait. No rush in any way honestly.  He laughed and told me I am the only one that can complain about being spoiled.

This baby is spoiled already. New custom cloth diapers, a cute VB diaper bag. Hand made quilts and clothing. So precious. I am happy when I am spending money on Bean and not on me. We are still arguing over names, but its not Doug and I.. I am not sure, life is just arggh at the moment.

I think I am going to go Bean shopping while Doug is working on the phone.

Current Mood: Giddy

So a new baby on the way means stress, and Im ok with that. Being sick sucks, but I can take it.  We had a cvs test done last week and were told the baby is healthy as far as they can tell. Nothing chromosonal is wrong at this point. We were also told the sex which was of least importance, just helps plan things. We had no desire one way or another as long as the baby is healthy. 

We attempted to go shopping but the last few weeks have been hectic. JD graduated high school and had Prom, which I have photos of to still upload. We then had Matthew graduate high school the next week! The Jack graduated out of preschool and today Emaly graduated from her preschool class as well! What a busy 2 weeks! 

Everyone is doing well.. Nates done with school and starting summer school. but the storms we had last night kept him up and he was cranky his morning.  Noah has ONE MORE DAY of school tomorrow and he is done for the year. We are so proud of him! 

So thats where life is.. I need to get back to regularly updating this so I can have my records complete again. 

Migraine today, lots of thunder storms of course. waiting for a large one to hit us that seems to have skiddled around us all day. I made an attempt to homschool the 2 kidlets today, and they did about 4 pages of work and I had to quit because the humidity was just nailing my head. We need to put the ac in the living room and Ems room so we can have some balance in the house. But Im enjoying the new printer in our room printing up tons of work for the kids to do. Im evil, I know. Summer = more work time for me = more learning for them and being further ahead when school starts. 

Goals for the summer include Jack and Emaly handwriting practice. Letter formation and proper writing. not easy with Jack being lefty. Hes really struggling with his Gs.  I bought special indented paper to help so we will see. nate I want to work on his handwriting and numbers to get him off the stamps. So hes doing more math papers.  Lots of topic papers as well.  Noah will be working on Math, money and time, and spelling. Oh.. the twins are doing site words too. Spelling lists for the first words too. It’s going to be a summer of working, thats for sure. 

I should mention for the record.. jack got his first stitches on Saturday. He fell between two bunk beds and clipped his chin= 4 stitches. The Dr. said 40% of boys have a scar on the chin, so hes perfectly normal! YAY!!! I have photos and NEED to get them up here so thats on my todo list. Since I bought the mac I have been slacking. Im horrible, I know.

The last few weeks have been crazy.. the baby situation is that we are expecting and due in December. I get the official date on Friday when I see the Dr. We had an ultrasound yesterday, number 4 actually, and saw the heart beat and know everything is ok at this time. Its a good thing. 

I am actually going to make a list of things I HAVE to get done today. I mean, do or die at this moment. I can not function in this workspace. 

1. Need to find a place for all my scrapbooking papers. Current situation is not working. 
2. Need to find a place for the cricut items so they are safe.  
3. Have to put the camcorder in the bag I bought. 
4. Need to charge my camera battery and then pack it in the camera bag. 
5. Download mail on large laptop
6. Stop email from bouncing on Yahoo.. ( I slacked off)
7. Set up Dreamweaver and send out a note to BB members. Its been a while. 
8. Get JD to school to get final grade and pick up graduation gear
9. Buy a gas can for mom and bring her gas (she forgot.. oops)
10. Start choosing which Vera items I want to sell and list them
11. Put away my school items since I am not attending at the moment.
12. Clean off my damn desk, again
13. Take photos of the kittens for Doug
14. Possibly pixel a lil if I can, and make a goodie for the members

I think thats all, but I know there is more. I have to shower, get dressed and pick up Em. I have to get them lunch, get Jack on the bus and more.. life is never ending. 

So thats that.. life here is just a pocketful of sunshine and running. I have a lot to update, but need to do these things first so I can get my thoughts in order.

Woke up with horrific pain behind my left eye. Its really bad, and I took 3 pain pills and still no relief. I had Doug pick up Emaly so I didnt have to attempt to drive. I would pull JD home to help, if he did not have a fashion show to be part of for Prom. I took care of things I needed to but honestly, I want to sleep this off until I have to pick up Nate. It’s in my neck and shoulder as well, I can feel it pulling, which just hurts like hell.

Nate is coming home tomorrow. I have school tomorrow evening but for now I am just being the overwhelmed mom that I am. I have been doing scholarship things for JD. No time to waste on these things. Seriously. I have papers to type up for JD, and papers to scan for taxes. I have to still install word on my mac.  I actually opened Photoshop and forgot. 

Is it wrong that I am psyched for my vacation over Spring Break? A week in the mountains is just…. well, incredible. 

I really am not sure what else needs updated. When I get more organized I might find time to post but right now I just need time to well, live.

The last week has been pretty hectic. School has me busy which is good, but honestly I am very scattered right now, so I feel stretched thin. Unable to keep thoughts in order.

Nates in the hospital right now. Went in earlier this week and has been off his meds since he went in. He says he hasnt been sleeping well. I have a staffing at 2 today to make, so that should help get him on a path to getting home. I really do not want to think of putting him in an assisted living, hes only 13.

Matthews been sick all week. He went to the ER on Wednesday and has a Drs apt with his Ped this afternoon.  My busy fridays just got worse. :-/

Jd has had an attitude of late, not sure whats causing it. We have tried to talk to him, but he seems pretty snotty and angry.

I want to get to IKEA and buy the boys beds tonight, so I hope we can pull that off. All depends on JD I suppose.  Truck needs cleaned off, more things to be done. I really am just tired.

I havent updated and this is all why.. so well, life has me running.

Well school has me busy. Add in Doug going out of the country again, and crazy work hours.. JD going to school and baseball practice.. and life is just one ball of crazy. But its ok.

Im in school 4 nights a week, so I really do not get much play time. I love school. I feel so excited when I go because its ME doing something for ME. About time.

We are waiting for tax returns, and then booking a vacation me thinks. We need time at the Mountian house. No other way around that one.

I went to the Drs and got back on my migraine meds. Still no real effect from it, takes a week to level and kick in. I also got a new sleeping pill that is not working. I am up all night, and the first night I took it I woke up with a hang over feeling. Not what I wanted. So I am going to call and see if there is something else I can try.

Im on the road to weight loss. The Dr informed me I have lost 20lbs already. The Alli  has really helped me stay on track, and school has helped as well. Friday night I was at Sears and discovered I fit into a size 16 jacket. Ya, really, WOW. I havent fit into a 16 on the top 10+ years now maybe.. since Nate. So I am eating less and having more fiber bars instead of meals, and I have cut out red meat for the most part. I also have no more than 15grams of fat per day, because it really hurts me to have more because of the lack of gallbladder. So ya.. what I am doing is working and school helps me stay on track as well. Can’t snack if your in class working for 4 hours.

I hope to sleep soon, I sleep but when you have a migraine it doesnt feel like sleep. you wake up unrested, so I should say I hope to get some restful sleep.

I have to get ready for the week.. the house needs cleaned up for sure. 1 room at a time.
