Award

2008-11-21T23:02:00.003-05:00

Thanks to Modern Mommy Blog for this beautiful award. I know this is way late. Sorry. She has a wonderful blog so go check her out. And thank you Modern Mommy.

It says “This blog invests and believes in proximity". Meaning that blogging makes us 'close' - being close through proxy.

Flashback Friday

2008-11-21T22:37:00.002-05:00

Such a busy couple of weeks. I have had no time to blog. I was supposed to write this lon post about our Maisie having puppies but it's 11:00pm and I am exhausted.

Anywho, it's Friday and this flashback comes to you courtesy of Onchee.

The second video gave me a flashback big time because I used to have the "Get in Shape Girl" ribbon. One day I was riding my bike with the ribbon flapping in the wind then all of a sudden it was stuck in my bike chain, covered in grease. I was traumatized. Scarred for life.

Ta Ta for now....

Election Anxiety

2008-11-03T21:59:00.002-05:00

I am so nervous! Tomorrow is the big day. I'm going to be out of my mind all day. Ugh! I remember four years ago how disappointed and frustrated I was. I was in a bad mood for days. I hope things go my way tomorrow. Is anyone else having election anxiety issues?

BFF Award!

2008-10-31T17:09:00.002-04:00

My BFF Calista gave me this wonderful award today!

Thanks friend.

The Flu

2008-10-28T12:05:00.005-04:00

Well, it was definitely the flu we all had. Bubba had it early last week and stayed home from school for two days with a fever. Monkey got it Thursday night and stayed home from school Friday. I got it Saturday and wanted to die by Sunday evening. Now Shy Baby has a fever but it could just be from her shots she got yesterday.

Shy Baby's four month check-up:

13lbs. 13 oz.
24 inches

So she gained 3 lbs 10 ozs. and grew 2 inches in two months. YAY!!

The doc says she is advanced in motor skills since she is already sitting. He said she would probably be on the move early. Which is crazy because I specifically told her NOT to grow up.

I'm It!

2008-10-26T13:18:00.002-04:00

I was tagged by Modern Mommy Blog. Go check her out! I need to tell you 7 things you don't know about me. I have done this one before. You can see it here. But I will do it again since you already know that stuff about me.

1. My bedroom is a mess. LOL. I clean the rest of the house, make the kids clean thier rooms but mine is a disaster. *blush*

2. I went back to smoking after I had Shy Baby.

3. I have two brothers and one sister.

4. I hate winter. I hate the cold. I like the first snow but after that I hate it.

5. I'm really sick right now and I should go to the doctor but I don't wanna.

6. My favorite animal is the giraffe.

7. My pre-pregnancy clothes still don't fit. :(

That's that. I'm tagging my BFF. I'm supposed to tag seven but I don't have that many blogging friends yet.

Eventful Day

2008-10-25T15:39:00.006-04:00

I have been tagged but I will get to that later. I must tell about our eventful day we had yesterday. First off, Monkey was sick so she was home from school all day and bored.

Here is a result of her boredom:
Then Shy Baby sat:
Then Shy Baby slept in her crib for the first time for about 2 hours:
Then I found the cat:

I got all excited when I found this video. I can't embed it so just click on the link and take a trip back to the 80's.

This video is really for Onchee. Make you feeoo bettoo.

It's the " in" cereal.

Kindergarten Homework

2008-10-23T16:34:00.003-04:00

Bubba is in Kindergarten now and the first couple of weeks there was no homework. The third and fourth week, there was one homework assignment each week. Now there is homework Monday through Thursday.

The home work assignments consist of writing one letter, upper and lower case, about seven times each. It takes Bubba all of three minutes to complete. Five minutes if the TV is on.

After the third day straight of homework, he says to me "MOOOO OOOOM, why do I have to do homewoook evoooowy daaaaay?"

Kindergarten life is so rough.

I Spoiled Her

2008-10-22T14:09:00.003-04:00

*sigh*

They say you can't spoil a baby until they are four months old or whatever. Shy Baby will be four months old in a week and I believe she's been spoiled since she was 2 weeks old.

Maybe it's because she is my last. Maybe it's because I am too busy. Maybe it's because I'm lazy. Maybe it's because the moons are misaligned or something......

Right now she is looking at me and whining, knowing I will pick her up eventually. She's tired but she won't go to sleep without me holding her in a certain way. Patting her butt with a certain rhythm. Rocking, shushing, bouncing....

I am trying not to pick her up. BFF tells me to let her cry. I can't listen to the screaming. If I was going to let her cry, I would have to close all of the doors, walk out of the house and across the street. If I hear her crying, I can't help but go to her and pick her up.

She's still looking at me.

Snapdragons

2008-10-18T19:12:00.012-04:00

I was just looking up some info on one of my many plants and I decided to go ahead and start adding my plants to the blog once and a while.

The one I was just looking up was my Snapdragons (Antirrhinum). I bought these flowers last year because I thought they were unique I bought a flower box and I needed something to put tin the flower box.

It makes sense to me.

Anywho..... I had no idea that it was a Perennial until they started growing back this year right after I said to Hunny Bunny that I need to find something to put in the flower box. I am amazed that they grew back because they require full to partial sun which they don't get. Also the cat pooped in the flower box twice.

They stand up to the cold weather pretty good so I have a little color in the fall at least. I think next year I'm going to plant some Mums for the fall also.

Here are my Snapdragons:

Here are some pic from my summer wildflower garden. I wasn't allowed to garden because of the pregnancy so I just threw some wildflower seeds down. It ended up turning into a jungle and my roses got lost in it.

Hunny Bunny took these pics:

In the pic of the yellow flowers, the one in the back is sad.

The Dog Ate My Seahorse

2008-10-18T13:49:00.004-04:00

This is something that happened quite a while ago but I thought it was worth mentioning. It happened during my lengthy break from blogging. I was still pregnant and I was on the phone with Onchee (my sister). Bubba likes to take advantage of my phone time to do random science experiments.

The Best Week Ever!

2008-10-17T12:58:00.005-04:00

I have been unemployed for a little over a year now. I will use the little one as an excuse I guess. Since she was about 5 weeks old I have been searching for a job and I can't seem to find one. Today I got turned down for the gazzilionth time and I told BFF yesterday that if I didn't get this job that I would just keel over. Well, I'm still alive but i think I'm going to lose my mind. Not only have I been looking for local jobs but also work-at-home jobs. I seem to be under qualified for everything. My next step is to take some computer classes and try to qualify myself for something. ANYTHING!!!!!

Enough about that. Shyah is sick. She's not sleeping very well. She cries for hours at night and I have to keep clearing out her nose so she can breathe with a binky in her mouth. She's not a happy camper. Her she is. I surprised her with the flash. LOL.

And here she is in her turkey outfit that's probably not going to fit on Thanksgiving so Dad took a picture of her in it.

She looks like a boy.

I had a bad week.

Doggie biscuit in the oven?

2008-10-01T17:25:00.005-04:00

About three weeks ago our Scottish Terrier, Maisie, was in heat. Me being the smarty pants that I am, let her outside one Saturday morning and left her out. Our neighbor has a male Jack Russell who of course is not fixed. After a few minute of Maisie being outside, I looked out the window to check on her and I see neighbor dog outside with her "saying good morning". So I call neighbor dog's Mom and tell her the her doggie was visiting. I get off the phone, pick up the baby and go to meet her outside and find them in a tie. Okay. I have never seen anything like it and don't want to see it again. So we stood there along with BFF neighbor and some curious kids and waited about 15 minutes for them to come apart.

Now I have been watching Maisie for signs of pregnancy and they are certainly there. So looks like there are more babies on the way.

Here's my Maisie. Excuse the dirt on her nose. She likes to dig holes in the backyard.

BORING!!!!

2008-09-28T11:53:00.005-04:00

Sundays and rain are the worst combination EVER! I have no motivation today and the kids are bored so they are driving me crazy. What to do.....

Yesterday was Hunny Bunny's birthday and Shyah turned three months. Happy Birthday.

Here are some more pictures

Just some random pictures. That picture of Bubba, he said "Take a picture of my babckpack Mom!"

Enjoy!

I'm really back this time

2008-09-26T20:46:00.014-04:00

I had a baby. LOL. I'm tired. I knew it would be hard with three kids but its hard. Duh. OK so let's get to the good stuff. Pictures!!!!

Let me introduce you all to Shyah Jade!

A few minutes old

before she knew what a binky was

she found her binky and Momma feels better!

Fourth of July!!!

She's pooping! LOL

Doing her morning push ups!

Awwwwww!

Big Smiles!

Shyah was born on June 27, 2008, 7lbs. 4oz., 19.5 inches. She will be three months old tomorrow! Time flies when you don't sleep! Enjoy!

I am sooo bored!!!

2007-12-18T13:14:00.000-05:00

Today I am so bored. I figured I would put up another post because I am still slacking. I really have nothing good to talk about. I totally forgot to take pictures of our first real snow of the year. The kids went sledding and got cold and had hot chocolate.....The pics would have been cute but I promise next time I will take pictures.

I got yelled at by everyone for shoveling the driveway and had a little scare yesterday (bleeding) so I had to go to the doc and have another ultrasound and whatnot but everything looks great. The baby no longer looks like an alien or a shrimp.

Christmas is so crazy and it's driving me crazy. I'm getting stressed out because I have a couple people left to buy for and I'm drawing a blank. Daszzle I will be coming your way, I have yet to check out your second blog.

I am trying to eat healthier for this pregnancy but my problem is......those darn grocery store frosted sugar cookies. I am hooked. YUM!

Other than that nothing else is going on. I am trying not to do to much because of the episode yesterday so I really am bored :(

Until next time......

I have really been slacking

2007-12-12T08:43:00.000-05:00

Ok, I have been tagged 3 or 4 times to do this meme so here goes.

Post these rules on your blog.List seven random and/or weird facts about yourself.Tag seven random [?] people at the end of your post and include links to their blogs.Let each person know that they have been tagged by posting on comment on their blog.

1. Out of the two kids I have right now I definitely have a favorite. They will never know.

2. I have suffered from insomnia since i was in high school. I can't remember the last time I have had a good night's sleep and I can't find a doctor who will help me. I'm so tired.

3. I have absolutely NO patience for people with no common sense and people who assume that I am stupid because of the way I look. I get that a lot.

4. I love flowers. Any kind of flowers but I can't seem to get them to grow in my garden because I have this one plant that just takes over the garden every year. :(

5. I haven't been taking my prenatal vitamins regularly. I skip a day because I got the chewables and they are gross and the regular ones are to big for me to swallow.

6. I laugh at myself at least once a day because of some of the silly stuff that I do.

7. I have wanted to cut my hair really short for a very long time and everyone keeps telling me no. I am to the point where I don't care because I have to much hair and I always end up pulling it back anyways.

So that's that! I don't have anyone to tag because everyone I know has done this.

No, really!

2007-12-07T09:15:00.000-05:00

I know I said I was back before but I am for real this time. After finding myself in the emergency room last week for dehydration, I finally got some medication that helps. This stuff works wonders let me tell you. It's called Zofran and it makes me feel like myself again. YAY!!

So much has happened in the few weeks I was missing, I don't even know where to start. I will say thank you to everyone who gave me such special awards. I will probably get those together tomorrow. I have a couple of memes to do so I will try to get those dome within the next couple of days.

Monkey lost her tooth! See.

Wow she looks like a goofball in that picture! She likes to tuck in her top lip for pictures and it's driving me crazy. She did that for her school pictures. Can we say REDO?

Bubba has been his same old silly self. He really helped me out while I was sick. Offering to walk me to the bathroom and stuff. LOL. THANKS BUBBA!

I had my first OB appointment on Wednesday. I had a physical and an ultrasound. Everything looked good. The heartbeat was at 165bpm and the baby was waving to honey bunny.

The baby is upside down. Some say it doesn't even look like a baby. I believe shrimp is the word a certain person used to describe my baby. I am only 10 weeks along so the baby is still going to look like an alien. Our gender ultrasound is scheduled for February 21st. I want a girl and Honey Bunny wants a boy of course. We are not even coming close to agreeing on any names. Any name suggestions would be wonderful.

I'm Back!

2007-11-24T08:32:00.000-05:00

Hi everyone! I'm sorry that I have been missing for this past week or so. I finally feel well enough to sit here and catch up on the blogging world. I have been so sick with morning (all day) sickness that I have only really been from the bed to the couch and back.

I went to the doctor's office last Thursday and they told me I was preggo. WOW. So I have an ultrasound on Dec. 5th to get a due date but by my calculations the due date is July 1st. That would make me a whole 8 weeks right now.

I must tell you that it is really depressing to be home sick so much. It's so hard for me to do even the smallest things around the house. I think part of it has to do with being at home all the time. When I went up to Mass. to my sister's for Thanksgiving, I did not get sick once and I ate a whole Thanksgiving meal but as soon as we got home I'm sick again. Weird.

Anywho, I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm still around and I will try to catch up with everyone ASAP. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! Did anyone put up their X-mas tree yesterday like I did?
