A Few Random Thoughts

I freaking hate the show "Deal or No Deal", yet I freaking love it! I hold my breath just waiting for them to open those stupid cases! I hope for the best and then am so disappointed if it is the million! I am so the target audience!

Laundry - why does it never seem to go away? That and dishes! They seem to be the bane of my existence right now. Flylady is great if you have time to do it but Baby right now seems to be so demanding. He has a habit of cat napping. I mean several 20 minutes naps and that's about it. I love my little catnapper!

My memory seems to be gone lately. Can't seem to remember crap and my organization skills are just fried. I am so tired most of the time and this latest "enteritidis" seems to be the tip of the iceberg.

Two months and counting until I can start giving Baby solids. I have to admit that I can't wait.

Things Are Kinda Getting Better!

Feeling a bit better? Yes.

Still sore as heck though! I mean who gets enteritidis??? Apparently, me!

The cat is doing a bit better too.....very happy about that. He's moving around more, peeing normally....it's just still all over the place.

Baby is getting so big...sitting in front of me now with his book. He's totally cracking me up. He's trying to shove the whole thing in his mouth! *lol*

IT's a little too big for that.

Anyhow....off to go get dressed and get my day started!

The Polysporin Commercials

I love the Polysporin Commercials!

They are hilarious....Probably because I can so see myself doing some of those crazy things....

I can so see Rob with the tire swing!

I've tried the new Polysporin....kinda liked it...the pain stuff....very nice!

Enteritidis and Drugging Baby!

OK....so, ended up in the ER last night.

Diagnosis: Enteritidis - apparently a bowel infection. How I got this...no idea...is it the right diagnosis? No idea.

How much pain am I in?? Barely moving and I swear there are gremlins in there running around.

Unfortunately...except for abdominal pain, I don't match any of the other symptoms. So how they game to this conclusion, I'm not quite sure.

Get home last night.....Take a motrin, get up this morning to a very sleepy baby....who's still sleeping....and then I realize I didn't check to see if I could take Motrin while breastfeeding.

So then I went through 30 minutes of fear while I wait for motherisk to open. I worried for nothing.....I can take motrin while breastfeeding.

Now...I just need to feel better.

Wonton...Oh My Wonton

Wonton is back at the Vet....

Poor Little guy. No more blockages, but he's still really sore and he's straining to go pee even though there is nothing in his bladder. Still lots of blood and he's lost a full pound in the last week.

If you had seen my kitty before he lost this weight you would know how much of a problem this is. He was never big to begin with. He was actually already on the skinny side. So he was 10lbs, 3 oz. Now he's 8lbs, 2 oz. Way too skinny!

Gremlin is once again combing the house making those cute little sounds and meowing trying to find his friend. At this rate we'll have to add another cat, just to be on the safe side when we lose one of them!

Those Freaking Mosquitos!

I was outside in the garden yesterday.....I gotten practically eaten alive!

I even have three on my chest! I mean, who gets mosquito bites there? I'm itchy all over!

The scary thing is that I still have some work to do in the Garden and today is once again, hot, humid and cloudy....the perfect feeding weather for the freaking little things!

I hate taking the baby out is this crap.....poor babe...I'll have to go and get some netting for his stroller. Which means shopping....which means air conditioned coolness.

Yes I know we have central air.....but it's better when someone else pays for it!

The Strangest Dream

I dreamt of cell phone rechargers last night. Don't know why, but it was right up there with one of my wierdst yet. If I had my choice, I'd dream of nothing but sex and flying. Maybe the odd happy one without the above two.

My husband says I've been very active in my sleep lately. Lots of talking, moving and episodes of him thinking I was awake when I wasn't. If you were as sleep deprived as I've been, you'd be sleeping like this too.

Anyhow....off to plant my seeds!

The Garden, The Cat, and The Mosquitos

The garden is starting to come along. Planted some lettuce today...tomorrow will be herbs and all my seeds. the front flower bed has hostas and will soon have blueberries.

The Cat...LOL...is coming aloong too. He's still peeing all over the place...but he's got massive bladder spasms due to the infection. Poor little guy....another visit to the vet and he seems to be much happier. As happy as one can be with a penis that sore.

The Mosquitos! To quote Gail, He. They are so bad this year because of all the stupid rain. Grr....

Babies are fascinating!

The wee one is definitely growing. I watched him this morning as he lay in his new chair with the hangy things in front of him. He is now actively trying to reach and grab for them. The look on his face is just priceless when he actually accomplishes it.

He's now actively giggling with or without us and he looks stunned when it does come out of him.

The amount of babble coming out of him is amazing too. Sometimes a constant stream of intelligle coos that seem to make him happy.

In his new chair, he's become more active, kicking and throwing his arms around.

Definitely the best time with him yet.

Still can't wait till I can buy all the cool toys to play with, I mean he can play with!

My now tres expensive cat!

So I spent a lot of money today on my cat. This cat is going to worth a fortune by the time we are done.

He now has crystals in his urine. Actually...lodged in the poor little one's penis. So we had some surgery and some tests. He's going to be fine, but of course this will require some changes.

Praying it doesn't happen again because this is a one time extra offer on life.

My poor Wonton.

Mother's Day

Well....for the first time ever I got to celebrate Mother's Day. Overall...nothing much different from any other day. I guess it will make more of an impact when Baby is bigger and understands the importance of the day.

Rob didn't really get me anything...I am taking the landscaping of the yard as my mother's day gift.
It's either that or the new dehumidifier! Honestly I'm quite happy with the yard. For the first time ever I am doing my yard myself. Without help from anyone.

I'm so excited. I've been working on the plans for a while. It will be an adventure that's for sure!

We're Home and I'm Sooooo Tired!

We've actually been home two days now and I'm still tired. Baby had two days of wanting nothing but to be held and fed. I've spent more time on this couch then I care to admit. I'm just hoping that this ends soon.

He was bounced around and held by everyone. He also spent more time then I care to admit in a car. I have no intention of putting him any time soon in a car seat. If I can't leave him with Rob I'll walk there.

Anyhow...think he is out for the night....this means I get to go too....hopefully!

The Fur Babies

So I happened to rub down my two cats Wonton and Gremlin today. I am trying to reduce the amount of cat hair in my house. Since I haven't really been paying attention to this the last few months with the rough end of my pregnancy and then Baby, I feel like I am drowning in cat hair!

I noticed for the first time that my Gremlin has grown up. He's now fully grown and my once pudgy "Guts" is now a slimmed out gorgeous animal. Not as slim as his brother but a healthy cat.

Wonton is once again almost back up to his pre-sick weight and his coat is once again gleaming. I'm so happy it just took crapping out ribbons to get to this instead of anything major.

I so love my fur babies!

The Mystery of the accumulating Magazines

You go to the grocery store and as you stand in line you just can't help but buy those stupid magazines.

You know the ones, they say things like....."Make this tonight - 30 minutes meals" and "beat the heat - the top 10 things you can be wearing this summer"

Of course you also have the ones that talk about Brangelina and how they actually are no longer together. Somehow, I can resist those easily but the others call me, call me by name, and want me to buy them.

So of course, I take them home. Because I spent so much bloody money on them I can't seem to throw the stupid things out! I don't want to. It's an affront to my financil statement I tell you!

Yet there they sit...so cluttery. I hate them.

You Can Do Then When You Are Feeling Better

I'm tempted to write a book. A book on how to control your husband.

Unfortunately there is no way to do that without giving them a lobotomy.

Since I've been sick, my husband(the loving one he is) has been cooking. Yesterday after sleeping most of the day I got up to find my kitchen a disaster! When I asked him if he was going to clean up, his response was, "No. You'll do it when you feel better."

Gee, Thanks honey.

Now If we didn't have a dishwasher I may have understood. I may have understood if the dishes couldn't go in the dishwasher but well....THE ALL DID! It took me ten minutes to put dishes in the dishwasher and wipe down counters this morning, you can't tell me that he couldn't have done this.

The scary part is.....I actually did it. What does that say about me???
