So yeah…ummm…okay…whatever..ahhh that made me cry….proud mommy moments!!

January 31, 2009 – 12:49 am

So on top of the plumbing issues i have an abscessed tooth, Mr, Fun has gum disease and T has bronchiolitis?

So that is what they think he has. The ER doctors aren’t sure..really? isn’t it their job to find out what he has before sending us home? I thought that is why you take your child to the ER in the middle of the night? I am a mom that waits it out…i only go to the doctors. or ER if I think it’s absolutely neccasary but whatever… I’ll go with their diagnose for now. He seems better today but I am still worried about him. Never really been a fan of doctors…don’t think they even know what they are talking about half the time. Just give us some bullshit answer and hope we stop asking questions so they don’t look like they wasted hundreds of thousands of dollars on med school. Hopefully tomorrow will show even more improvement in T’s health.

PARENT/TEACHER CONFERENCES

G’s was student led and I could tell he was nervous. After we were done his teacher came over to talk with me and I ended up crying like a baby. She said to me I don’t know if he does this on purpose or if it’s his personality but he seeks out kids that don’t have friends and talks to them. He is always willing to help. I notice him looking around and then helping those that look lost or like they are struggling and he helps them
Okay i started crying and fanning my eyes, like i have to now remembering it all. I told her she was making me cry. She then goes on to on to say as she rubs her pregnant belly… I told my husband the other night that I hope our son grows up to be just like G.
Oh talk about the water works on this mom!!! So his teacher LOVES him that much and all our talking about helping others and being respectful to ALL is actually working. Can you believe it? I almost can’t. I walked out of that classroom with tissues and puffy eyes.
Now it is Wy’s turn…nothing but positive things. He’s awesome, he’s reading above grade level..3rd grade to be exact (that is what grade G is in and it causes some stress between those two). He’s quiet and gets his work done. TIME OUT!!! Did she just say Wy was quiet and got his work done????? She did!!! I told her he is so not that little boy at home….she had a hard time believing me. She then noticed the tissues. I told her about G’s teacher making me cry. She then says as she rubs her pregnant belly. (yes, both teachers are pregnant) I would say the same about Wy but I’m having a girl REALLY? these teachers are killing me!! I had to hold the water works back.

So I left that school feeling very proud to be these boys mother. I felt as if I was actually good at this parenting gig. Then we got back home and the fighting and the whining started…SIGH!!!!

Roots in the pipes…. home owners worst plumbing issue

January 28, 2009 – 1:39 pm

OH MY HELL, I am ready to chop down every tree and large bush on the side of my house. No tree or bush is worth this, its ridiculous. Once we get this fixed…. it’s going to happen again and again. the roots of whatever is creeping in is going to continue creeping in. REALLLY? Is a tree or bush worth that? NOPE, NADA…surely its not. Screw the landscaping I would rather have a working toilet.
8(my mom is here, thanks goodness she is) people using one toilet is not fun in any way. Not even sort of funny. It never fails as soon as i sit down to do my business i hear a little voice at the door “mommy, i really have to go, like really bad” SERIOUSLY? Its so annoying. To top it off to get to the working toilet everyone must come through my bedroom..so every child that wakes in the night (which happens to be every single one) i wake up as they flip on the light.
So i need a plumber that doesn’t charge an arm and a leg and then want my first born as a tip.

Oh i got my new bridge plus a referral to an oral surgeon to get an abscessed tooth extracted…arg… i need a freaking money tree here….

Monday oh Monday..How this Monday sucks!!

January 26, 2009 – 1:43 pm

We have two bathrooms in this house..one bathroom is unusable now. The toilet backed up into the tub…..really really gross…disgusting. My mom tried to snake it but that was a no go. Mr. Fun is at work and will be at work until late tonight…how bad does that suck. Dear lord it sucks so bad. 9 people and one bathroom is not ideal. To top it off there are 4 little guys (chunky star wars characters) in that tub with the toilet water and draino. I believe we will be owing T some little guys before this gross disgusting incident is fixed. What if we can’t fix it? We can’t afford a plumber…hell no…

I have a dentist appointment today. Kind of looking forward to it, kind of not.

I want to write more, i have more to write about. My brain is in a fog though…i want to go back to bed.

T turns FOUR!!!!

January 21, 2009 – 5:18 pm

Four years ago today went off without a hitch. Easy, short and natural labor and a character we decided to call T was born. We had no idea what he would become. We had no idea that he would be the comedian that keeps us laughing everyday. We knew he was what we needed to complete this family though. He has done his job well. He fits perfectly like that last puzzle piece. Our family is now the masterpiece we hoped it would be.

His favorite color is green. He loves anything chocolate. Noggin is his favorite channel.
He can log onto the computer all by himself and find his favorite websites.
He loves star wars, episode 6 being his favorite.
He doesn’t eat fruit, he throws up if he tries.
He calls his teachers Mrs. Booger and Mrs. Noodle (this is close but no cigar, kid)
He can dress himself. His favorite thing to wear are his shirts with that little bear on them.
He does not like to swing high or go down a slide sitting up.
He loves to play golf and tennis on the wii, does not like boxing.
He asked for more star war little guys for his birthday. He already has close to 30.
Then he said he wanted a wind up plastic toy of daddy because he loves to play with him. oh is that the sweetest thing ever? It’s dripping syrup over chocolate chip pancakes sweet.

His favorite cartoon is Star Wars the Clone Wars
He always says he doesn’t want to go to school, all the way there. When I pick him up he says he loves school and had a great day.
He loves to play hockey,baseball and basketball with his brothers.
He loves bubble baths and bubble gum.
He likes to sing and LOVES to dance. He will ask for us to put dancing music on and he gets down.
He loves to cuddle and swears he’ll still cuddle when he turns six. Lets get through age four first.

This morning I hugged him and said “Happy Birthday T” He threw himself back on the bed and said “I can’t believe it” He then paused, looked at me and squeals “I am REALLY FOUR”. He then asked if he could have granola bars for his birthday dinner…..Funny kid!!!

Happy Birthday T-BUCKLE!!! You are such a sweet little boy. We love you and everything about you.

READY>>>SET>>>STOP!!!!!

January 17, 2009 – 1:53 pm


Oh man…not ready for what just happened. I put my not so baby girl on an airplane by herself. YES! I did! I almost don’t believe it. I was okay..I was good..then she looked back one last time with tears in her eyes. OH GAWD>>it killed me. I knew that she would do just fine, i know she knew that too. This being her second time on a plane and her first time alone I can see why she would be nervous and teary eyed. She trudged on though knowing that she has an exciting couple days ahead of her and Grandma would be at the gate waiting for her.

So i got myself together without letting a tear out. I get in the elevator and go to Level 4 where I parked. I get out and my truck is gone…it’s not where i parked it. I freaked….
I am going to stop here and defend myself
If you have ever been to the PHX airport you know how large it is, especially terminal 4. The thing is a monster. For pick up it has a north and south side and for parking it has an east and west side, both identical to the other. It’s very easy to get confused.
So i call Mr. Fun and tell him my dilemma, he says that would so suck. I started to freak a little and say maybe i parked on the other side. I was so emotional and not thinking clearly as it was. I mean, I did just put my first born on an airplane all by herself. So I tell him that I am going to walk to the other side which is like a freaking half a mile and call him back. Before I could call him he calls as i spot my truck still sitting in the spot i knew i parked it in???

puking is not a laughing matter or is it?

January 16, 2009 – 1:52 pm

cough..cough..cough….COUGH..COUGH….
REALLY? why do kids go all day without coughing and then cough all freaking night long??? I know its snot dripping in their throat but still…WHY? Two nights now T has coughed his way through the night.
Night before last he coughed so hard he puked. Luckily he was in my lap and i noticed it coming. “i said he’s going to puke”.. Mr. Fun gets up tripping over wires(that’s a whole post in itself,stupid wires) which led to me and T nearly crashing into him as i am trying to get to the tile before he blows chunks. Mr. Fun got a big bowl and slid it across the kitchen like a bar tender would a beer and it stops at T’s feet. Where he promptly puked without skipping a beat. I kept telling him to stay on the tile, the poor kid was half asleep and kept trying to walk away. He went to puke again and he couldn’t look at the puke in the bowl which was mostly water so he turned his head to the side to puke…Mr. Fun forced his head towards the bowl…man, we were laughing so hard. It wasn’t because he was puking it was because he’s so sensitive and pukes so easily. He can’t even look at a cut up grape without gagging so I can only imagine how hard it was to look at his own puke. He kept trying to walk away but we knew he wasn’t done so we had to force him to stay there.After we got him changed and cleaned up he wandered back to his bed and starting coughing again….so much for sleep.
Last night….he coughed as he snuggled up to me with his mouth right next to my ear…..no matter how many times i would move him he would work his way back to my ear and cough. That left me wondering if we would have a repeat of the night before and start puking. I got NO sleep. I did watch

    Transformers

Oh how i love love love that movie.
I turned the TV off at 1 AM and tried to sleep between the coughing spells. It was a restless sleep for i had strange dreams…i was going to Mexico with a bunch of pre-school kids in tow. What the heck does that dream mean?

white crap day

January 14, 2009 – 4:11 pm

It was white crap snow day at T’s school.
It was already 63 degrees and getting warmer by the time his class had their turn. So it was perfect, not too melty yet. Not sure what it is about kids and white crap snow…i so could go my life without ever seeing it and be A-OK with that. T had a blast and I was glad Mr. Fun was along for the ride as well. I know it made T’s day that much happier.

Him running from a snowball….he had already been hit in the face once and he was not too happy about it.

it was his turn for the sled and he was so excited. he went down with a smile and when he got to his feet again he says “that was kind of scary and kind of fun” when he got his second turn on the other side he wouldn’t let go of his teachers glove, nearly took her glove off. He’s a riot.

its glorious beautiful warmish sunshine

January 12, 2009 – 7:45 pm

YES!! YES it is. Its 75 degrees out today(no throwing snowballs at me now). Could the weather be any more perfect? NO! Blue skies and sunshine shining down perfectly warming your skin. It’s the kind of day you roll your windows down and turn your music up on an open road.
So why is it that my kids don’t want to go outside? They wanted to stay in and play on the computer…gawd..i am ruining them. Actually, i’m not because i shoved them out back and forced them to be kids as if it was 1980. You know the days you could let your kids ride their bikes for hours around the neighborhood without supervision. You could let your kids walk to the corner store for a summer treat? Remember that? I remember that and often wish my kids lived in a world that would allow me to let them do this. I can’t, not even my 12 year old is allowed to walk around the block without supervision. I do allow them to walk 5 houses down to the mailbox without me. All the while I am inside holding my breath and counting the seconds. Pathetic? Over protective? Quite Possibly but its who i am.

Now i need to talk about Ghost Whisperer ….. i am so mad so so so mad that they killed Jim’s character off. Yes, i think its the stupidest idea since PB slices
But THEN…. Then they go have his spirit morph into a dead man and bring him back to life? REALLY???
The show angers me..I just roll my eyes when poor Melinda gets a glimmer of hope that this dude will somehow become Jim.

She was taught by the best…

January 11, 2009 – 5:57 pm

JJ makes a mean guacamole….yes she does. My dear friend Steph was out from CT and made us some. Now JJ makes it the same way and shes quite good at it. We went through a whole bag of chips today. No, not the two of us the six of us. That is a lot for us as Wy said “that’s not very healthy” . Teaching him right as he would rather have the strawberries.
