An upside to every downslide in life

an-upside-to-every-downslide-in-life

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.

Lots going on

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.

Happy Birthday JD.. 2 milestones

Today JD turned 18. He is now a man. I took him out to eat for the last time as his mommy. Then we did some shopping, and now we are home. Did I mention I actually let him drive the Warthog?

Jd on his 18th bday

this morning he went with his dad and took his drivers test and passed.. he is now a licensed driver, and dad bought him a year of insurance for his present. Cool present.

I havent been on much. Just not feeling well, distracted, not sleeping, overwhelmed, uptight about everything. Anxious. I need a break.

Tomorrow we go to Papas and he is making dinner. After that, I am officially on the diet of a lifetime. 25lbs quickly. No red meat, fat or crap. i have a Wii fit, and a weightloss coach. I am seriously not buying another thing until I loose this weight.  Im going to talk to my Dr about new meds, and order our medications through the mail vs in stores to save us a ton of fucking money. Other than that.. well, Im tired, and its bed time for me, and I wanted a new couch and I still dont have it. That makes me sad. I got a new chair, but its not couch. Cant curl up with the kids in a chair.

Emaly cut her bangs today.. bad. She got grounded and sent to bed. She knows Im mad at her, I refused to talk to her. I am so livid. i would have gotten her a hair cut, but for fucks sake, why did she fuck with her hair???

Emaly and pertussis

The kids Ped called me tonight to let me know the boys scripts were ready and waiting for me at the center. I asked him if he knew about Jack and Emalys visit last week, as he was on vacation. He had no clue. When I told him how Emaly was, with her coughing and throwing up, he said that is a tell tale sign of Pertussis, and since my kids had it already they should have been tested. IF Emaly throws up from coughing I a taking her back to the ER. Now that Mikes around I don’t have to worry about some cocky Dr telling me I dont need to worry about something that has already effected our life.  I mean Jeese.. we almost lost Jack because of it. And this wasn’t a guess case, it was confirmed and the CDC and health department had to be notified. For crying out loud. And the Dr telling me that I shouldn’t worry.. that her cough was nothing, well he can suck my toe. If shes still coughing but doing the same as now, I bring them both in on Wed so Mike can see them.

This is why my kids ONLY see their Dr. This is why I tell them that they are NOT allowed to get sick on Tuesdays. And had I thought they could hold off, I would have waited till today to bring them in. I assumed the same office would have their records and treat them the same. What a dork, I did not follow my own rule.  I also have ot make the kids 5yr checkup appts, they go in on the birthday to get flu shots, but I did not schedule the well checks because, well they are not well at the moment.

OK, Off to cook dinner for me and the older boys. Jd was let out 2 hours early from class tonight. I don’t like that, I get home only to turn around and drive back.  Im tired and need to get some sleep tonight. I just do not want to miss talking to him. I miss him. But I think I said that already today..
