So I Had A Sucky Birthday

So I had the suckiest birthday ever. The entire week just sucked.

Barely anyone remembered and I felt a little hurt. Rob even forgot.

Rob and I went for dinner yesterday...and a west coast swing lesson. It was great. Went shopping...costco shopping....so nothing really special bought. Then got home....got a little lucky. Well maybe a lot lucky. Then I slept an hour before waking up with an earache.

You betcha....I got an ear infection. It's brutal. So I went to the ER... best visit ever...was only there 15 minutes....didn't even have a chance to sit down before I saw the nurse...the nurse had barely left and in comes the doctor. Treatment given...was home in twenty minutes...and that's with driving time.

The Sprout is also still sick....we missed our swim lesson today. I just couldn't get out of bed for it on the little amount of sleep I had. I promise to make it up to him. Maybe wednesday.

I'm so tired...so I guess I'm heading to bed.

The Turkey Is In The Oven!

The turkey is in the oven! Completely stuffed and dressed! Thank ye gods...one thing down....a few more to go.

More like a lot more to go. Sigh....already 10:30. I really wish that the kitchen would just take care of it's self.

Then the rest of the house. Sigh. I have a lot of sighing going on here.

Asthma Is Out Of Control

So my breathing is the pits. So bad that even I am beginning to think there is a problem.

I've gotten so used to it that it takes someone pointing out that I'm not breathing the best before I do something about it. Between my mother and Rob.....well I guess it's good I have them both.

It's 9:30pm and my little one is still wide awake. *sigh* I'm tired but hyped. Watching the new show 1 vs. 100....interesting concept...awful host. He just seems to have no personality and he also seems old. Bob saget.....remember him from full house? Ugh!

Other then that, was really busy today. The front beds are almost done. The back is almost done, just had to look up a few things to finish off the perenials in the front. Apparently I can cut them all back.

With Utter delight...I whipped those pink impatients right out. First thing I did....next year. She can screw off! I won't allow anything pink in there at all. UGH! I have spoken.

Crappiest Summer Ever

This has had to be the crappiest summer ever. The rain pretty much slowed the growth of everything in our garden. Don't get me wrong, I did get quite a lot. But when it came down to it, nothing came to term in the fall. Then we got frost. Lots of frost. *sigh*

Maybe next year. Today I was planning on getting outside and completely turning everything under. But of course it has decided to rain.

RAIN RAIN GO AWAY! COME BACK IN THE FORM OF SNOW! IN DECEMBER!

On another note....I made some pretty kick ass Chicken Noodle soup last night....while drunk! My husband even had to compliment me on it. He went back for four more cups of it. *sigh* This basically means that it won't last long.

Baby is feeling better. Slept through the night again. Hoping this is a good sign.

Anyhow...he is a calling!

weirdest weather on record

Yeah...so this is the weirdest October ever. Who would believe the nights are freezing but the days are in the twenties. You can't tell me that there isn't some sort of global warming. Next earth shift coming to a planet near you.

I think it's going to happen sooner then we think. I mean, maybe not my lifetime or the next....but it will come before we are prepared.

REading too much Clive Cussler? Maybe.

Baby has a wonderful cold. I think I have the same thing. It's settled nicely in my chest.....Sigh.

Allergic To Shampoos....I Hate Hives

So...in the past week I have tried to shampoos....and both I'm allergic to.

I hate hives. I'm so tired of being allergic to crap. The problem is I tried two new ones with out waiting for the first hives to go away.....

TALK ABOUT ITCH!

Other then that....not much new around her.

I Be Back

It was the longest "vacation" ever and I won't be repeating the experience anytime soon.

*sigh*

I am so happy to be home. I am thankful for my own bed and my own kitchen and my own bathroom and all the baby apparatus.

What I am not thankful for is a very unhappy baby who seems to want my attention 24/7. I can no longer provide this....someone has to cook and clean....which means he spends a good time fussing at me from various entrapments, i.e. the playpen, saucer, and highchair. I know it will take a while to get things under control and back to normal but God help me.....I think I'll give him away for free before very much longer.

DH has tomorrow off....I am so looking forward to me time. Just me...no baby....away from the mad rush of the craziness that seems to have happened since getting home.

Don't worry....tomorrow I'll be back to making people pay for him. Price: at least a billion.

Spout Seems to be Allergic to Peaches!

So the Sprout had an allergic reaction to something.....more then likely...PEACHES!

He really seemed to like them too. Sigh....so now I have the fun of having to avoid those until we know for sure if he is or not.

Talk about the panic I was feeling when I first saw those little bumps show up and then see them turn bigger and bigger.

Sigh....poor kid.

Poor mommy.

TIme is Flying

The Sprout is getting so big!

I haven't posted in a while...things have been so busy that it's hard to keep up.
That and I have a new addiction...stupid Poker!

Thanks for nothing Mark!

Other then that....basement is getting there...and the house is closer to being packed up...I love that....

Off to look at houses....

I Have Been So Busy!

My basement is empty of junk!!

I am so proud of myself! I can't get over the fact I went through and got rid of all that shit!.

Stud's are fully up...tomorrow....moisture barrier and insulation! Drywall, paint, and a new carpet...then that's right...a finished basement!

I can't wait!

House is looking good....

Mark and Katie are already here...can't wait for the rest of the crew to arrive for our mini jamboree!

Oh The Week I've Had!

This week has just been horrible and everytime that I think something else can't possibly happen...

WELL IT DOES!

My life is just such a soap opera! Last night....the tenant's cousin tried to kill him by running him over....tearing up our lawn and hitting the house in the process....no major damage but geesh!

I am so tired of everything bad happen....where are the good things? Does this mean that I am going to win the lottery next week? It would be nice. I think I deserve it after all the quap!

Family

You have to love family....

Lately I always seem the last in the loop to learn about anything....everybody is so concerned about me and the baby that they just don't want to tell me anything....

I've bitched about this before but now....well now....It's just frustrating!

My brother's health is once again not prime....not that it ever will be again mind you but this time it's more then serious.

They have put him on the lung transplant list. He sees another specialist on tuesday....fun fun fun

Now the big question is do I go and see the specialist with him on tuesday? Or do I wait to hear. I have to admit that the control freak I am....I want to be there....because later on when it comes down to it...I'm the one who will have to know everything anyway.

Once again...Fun.

Sprout gained weight!

The sprout has finally gained weight....I didn't write about the trip to the pediatrician because to put it lightly....I WAS FUCKING FURIOUS!

Now it's all good. Finally got someone to tell me what to do and it's working. I know he's fed....I know he's not hungry and I am so relieved to have this hell over.

I'm much more relaxed and happy that it's amazing.

I think Sprout is feeling it too....he seems much happier.

Thank ye Gods!

Teens At The Pool and My Breasts

Yes...I know....I haven't posted in a bit. Let me tell you how crazy things have been around here. We're just now starting to settle down into another pattern, this one with baby finally gaining weight!

Anyhow...back to my title....I took the Sprout to the pool. There were a bunch of teens there about 12-15 years old. My bathing suit is a little on the tight side....yes I've gained weight with baby but I'm not going to not take him swimming when it does fit. So off we went...

I was so starred at. It was like they had never seen a pair of breasts before. *sigh* My husband says they are huge....so people should stare at them? grr.....

Going Going....Off to Ottawa To See The Pediatrician

Tomorrow is the day we finally find out about the Sprout. I know everything is fine...he's just a slow gainer. I'll just be happy to have someone tell me that so I can stop worrying.

Things are settling down around here. Almost back to normal. The house is a bit messy because I haven't been up to par the last couple days...but I will have the house back to what it should be before I leave tomorrow morning.

I still haven't made up a menu for this week. Will get to that too...Maybe on the drive.

*sigh* THings to do and no time to do them.

I'm Not Pregnant!

I am so not pregnant...was only three days late...more then likely stress.

My hair is falling out and my psioraisis is going nuts. Can't wait for all this crap to be over.

*sigh*

Rob is working overtime tonight.....Baby has just gone down and it's quiet..too quiet. Gremlin is still outside....got off his leash, the little bugger.

Worry Is Killing My Appetite!

I just seem to not be hungry lately, my sleep is off and I'm pretty jumpy. So many things to worry over....so little time.

Everyone says don't worry...everything will be ok. Easier said than done as I sit here writing this at 2am! I now know how I got the first ulcer, this one seems to be gearing up quite nicely and I wish I could just say...stop it now frankensteina! I don't need you back again, especially if I am pregnant...

Oh yeah...period is two days late and counting.

Sprout Isn't Gaining Weight Again

So the Sprout has only gained 8 ounces in 7 weeks. Once again we are on the rollercoaster of Dr.'s, Nurses, and worrying.

The funny thing is, he's absolutely healthy! He's a normal five month old who is more then ahead of the curve on all of his milestones. I mean he's all ready rolling from back to front....when he shouldn't be doing that for at least another month.

Ahhh...my little one....WHAT ARE YOU DOING?????

Sprout Is On Solids...And We Have Results!

A few weeks ago I wrote about Orin starting solids....well last week we started him on one with formula in it....

Let me tell you....It was the stinkiest BM(bowel movement for all those who don't know what that is!) Ever!!!!!!! It also came out in copious amounts. People always joke about how new parents talk about this....it's because we can't believe that so much can come out of something so little!

Other then that, all quiet here on the Eastern front. Just waiting for something new to happen!
