Happy Halloween 2006

well it is halloween day. Not sure if I deserve the best mom award or the worst mom award. Here goes: Daughter is up playing at 3 as usual. At about 5:30 she comes into my room and says I think I am going to throw up mom. So I saw go get a bowl and lay down for a while. Well I hear a cough and splat. So get up. She made it to the cupboard with the bowls but didn't manage to get a bowl. So I hand her a bowl and tell her to lie down quietly for a while. I clean up the mess, and within 10 minutes she is up playing again. Very hyper. I go back to bed, and get up at 7 like I usually do. She says she is fine. I keep asking her to sit quietly. She eats a bowl of noodles for breakfast. Says she is fine. Is playing very hyperly with her brother until eight. So I send her to school. Good mom or bad mom?????????????????????? I am still deciding myself.

Gotta wonder at life:

Smoke won the NASCAR race yesterday. WOOHOO. made my day, wish J. Burton would have done better. I don't think he has a chance at the championship now. Please make me eat my words. I am quiet. I feel introspective, disaccociated from the world around me, and just plain unconnected. I feel no joy, only pain. No laughs only tears. When I get to the point where I feel nothing it will be so much better. I hated driving on the icy snowy roads today, hated it totally. Hubby was really weird all weekend. No clue why, but he really was. Just like I didn't exist in his world. But I guess that is a good thing. Hubby dropped Mom's gifts off to her. She called to thank me. I said sorry they were late I had a hectic week. She says oh, WHY would you have had a hectic week? Let me see, raising two kids, working full time, pain, anguish, daughters dental work, missing a day of work, never sleeping, trying to survive, NOPE not hectic at all. Someone on one of the boards ask

Waking Up to a White World

Go to bed last night to a brown world, and wake up this morning to a white one. somewhere between 6 to 8 inches of white stuff, hopefully it won't last long. Daughter says her teeth don't hurt any more which is very very good. Both kids had earaches last night.

Friday, its friday, its friday

OMG it is Friday. I am so looking forward to the weekend. Don't know why really, but I hope beyond all hope I can get some sleep. Living without sleep and trying not to be grumpy just isn't doing it for me. Hubby is supposed to be home this weekend too. Daughter was up three times last night with night terrors, screaming, and sleepwalking, this morning of course she could not remember any of it. She finally ate some soft noodles last night for supper and wanted more this morning. First time she has actually eaten since Tuesday night. That is good to get food in her tummy. She said the kids at school made fun of her yesterday for having cavities. I sure hope not. She is quite self concious of the silver caps so I do think it happened. Why why do kids have to be mean? My pain is off the scale today, it took awhile to even straighten to get out of bed, I have a respiratory thing going on again, and I am tired. I hate being sick all the time and not being able to get be

Marvel at a new day!

As my little guy and I are walking out the back door of the house, he stops right in his tracks. Looking deep into the sky in the east and says MOM, it is so PRETTY. Yes my little guy took the time to appreciate a wonderful sunrise. I leaned down and we both just stayed there and marveled at the beauty of a new day. The pinks and oranges and the prettyness of it all. He surprised me last night too. Little guy had a strange day yesterday. Yanked out of bed two hours early, dumped at daycare when no other kids were there, getting picked up early, and having a very upset sister. His schedule was just all off. He is cuddling up to me on my bed trying to find some security and comfort. He looks at a picutre on my wall that has been there forever. IT is the first time he has noticed it as far as I knew. He says, the ocean is really hitting those rocks Mom. And that is a really really huge waterful. And the water is going into the ocean isn't it Mom?. This just took me by sur

Just plain ole grouchiness

I know I am sick. I know the two kids are sick. I know that daughter is having major dental work done on Wednesday. I know I am inconveniencing you by insisting you take the day off of work. I am taking the day off work too, no one does my work when I am off. HOWEVER it is over the top when you simply call me up to tell me how inconvenienced this is to you. I ask you if you had invited your friends (your friends) to the Rebel hockey game on Saturday night. You said no you had "forgot." Fine the tickets are free, I will pass them on to someone else at work. BUT, when I mention that I had been so looking forward to some time away from the kids and some adult company and eating a meal undisturbed do NOT tell me how kids inconvenience lives. I don't want to hear it, I truly don't. Get it, the kids are 6 and 3 they are yours and they are here to stay, quit punishing me for having them. IF you did not want kids you should have done something about it. I am tired, ex

This is too cute

Oscarisms for Monday October 23, 2006

Well Jeff Burton had a lousy race yesterday, dropped GULP 4 places in the points race. Argggg. That huts. I guess the only thing that makes it better is I did not watch the race. I was scrap-booking. WOOHOO. I went to Croptoberfest on Saturday night and Sunday. Exhuasted me but I was glad I went. I had the sole ambition of getting my sons ABC,123,color book done. and other than X, 5, 10 I must say it is done. I need a few stickers or something for a few of the other pages but as a whole it is done, and I ran out of sheet protectors and I won't give it to him until all the pages are covered. Daughter looked at it with me and was immediately well YOU didn't put colors in MY book. Jeaulosy rears its ugly head. Once again though the experience reinforces my opinion that I just rub other women the wrong way. Talk about bitchy rude women. I just don't get why it is always directed at me. Cause I am the quiet shy one. Don't know. I would love to get a area set

If I don't blog do you know

that I am just not up to speaking or do you think I am just to busy? I wonder who comes and visits my blog, and who they are, and if they find me entertaining? This morning was a rough morning. My DD woke me up way before wake up time. To tell me that her little brother had hit her. It just went downhill from there. She informs me that I forgot to make her lunch last night. Has a real fit over it. I make it. I feed her, she eats two pieces of toast and cheese and a glass of milk. Then asks for dinosaur porrridge eats that. Steals her brothers goldfish crackers and then asks for another package of porridge and eats that too. Where does the kid put it all. On the other hand the little guy never seems to eat anything for me. Good thing he eats at daycare or he would be even smaller than he is. Daughter is pushing son on his bed, I say don't do that he will hit the headboard. She does it again, I get up off the floor and turn around as you guessed it the third hit nails h

Depression sucks

Depression sucks it truly does. I have no idea how to pick myself up, dust myself off, and not be depressed. Meds don't work, mind over matter doesn't work, what does? I find more and more people that I know are suffereing from depression as well. Is it because we surround ourselves with negativity? Is it because there is so much stress in the world? Is depression a diagnosis that is just plain easy to give? My niece turned 26 on Saturday. Two years ago she had a go at flesh eating disease. It destroyed her one arm and shoulder, we almost lost her a couple of times on the operating table, and she has severe scars both physical and mental now. She says she can't keep a job because of people discriminating against her arm and the way it looks. WEll wear a long sleeved shirt then. She has lived off of my Mom for going on years. It bugs me. It really does. She gave my kids a hug on Saturday afternoon, and says out of the blue, well this is probably the only chanc

It is Snowing October 10, 2006

It is snowing, big white fluffy flakes falling straight down. It snowed 45 minutes west of me on September 15. But today it is snowing here now. My little guy has no snow boots. My daughters winter coat is a tad bit small on her when she tried it on today. I have no idea about the snow pants. There are still apples on my apple tree. None of the fall garden work has been done yet. Kids toys are still out on the back yard. I have no snow brush in the van. I don't want snow.

Repetitive Dream

I have been having a dream over and over for a couple of months now. I think the only way to prevent it is to find out how to solve the issue in it. I am in "prison", it doesn't seem like prison but it must be cause I can't get away. No matter how many times I try I just can't leave. I always get hawled back. I end up making a "friend". Or at least I think it is a really good friend. She figures out a way for us to get away. She really figured it out. So once we are out, instead of stealing a normal sized vehicle she steals a semi. A full blown 18 wheeler with a huge container trailer on the back. She drives us away. I feel so good to finally be away from the "prison" but very guilty about stealing the truck. We stop at a convenience store. It is on the crest of a huge hill. My "friend" pulls a little bit over the crest of the hill and parks. We go inside to grab something to eat. It seems this "prison" alway

Some updates with pics

My daughter got her art project recognized at school assembly. She did a maple leaf and used some cool "technique"s that she has learned in scrapbooking. So here is a picture of it. My little guys foot and the wart that just would not go away. Took 4 visits to the doctor, lots of pain, swelling, and no jumping. It is finally on the mend now. Hope he does not get any more. Water shoes are a definite purchase before we go swimming again. and a couple of halloween costumes for this year.

Talledaga

It's his to lose. Famous last words. Final lap of the race, Junior leading, Jimmie running a hot second and lots of other chase contenders out of the chase for this race. it appears that Jimmie takes Junior out. OH my, what some language can occur. thank heavens for instant play replay. What looks like a deliberate take out turns out to be the third place car taking out the two leaders in one fell swoop. WOOHOO. Jeff Burton still leading for points. Did you hear those BOOO's????????????????????????????

Want to know what I learned last night?

one 3 year old boy one metal flashlight with dead batteries one centrevac hole in the wall ....... know where this is going ........... Well said three year old puts the metal flashlight in the centrevac hole in the wall. It is the perfect size to cause the arc and make pretty blue light. And make said three year olds hand very hot to the touch. And make good enough contact to turn said centrevac on And once Mommy has run like heck to find out what the pretty blue light was, and how the centre vac got turned on and shocked herself pulling said flashlight out That the dead batteries in the flashlight now work. I think that surprised me the most. That the batteries then worked. Little guy has never done anything like that before. Whatever possessed him? His hand hurt for a while, and he cried real tears for about a half hour. I hope he never does something like that again. And this morning he says that his foot hurts again, he would not jump out of the van. It looks okay just kind

Medical update

Well after four doctors appointments and treatments, the wart on my little guys foot fell free on three sides last night. I had to cut the fourth side off with nail clippers. Hopefully the root and all is gone. AND he jumped out of the van today for the first time in weeks. It must be feeling better if he is jumping again. He actually went to sleep at a decent time last night too. Even if he did wake me up at 1:30. Daughter was complaining Saturday night of ear pain and hearing loss in one of her ears. She had been diving in swimming lessons earlier and then played outside most of the afternoon. A decongestant and tylenol seemed to help. So today I bought a bottle of swimmers ear for next week. We managed to find skates to fit her and a helmet with a face guard. Last year she fell and got four stitches so this year lessons require a full face guard. Hard to find for a little one. Her lessons start in two weeks. For a couple weeks they overlap with swimming. Those will not

Tony Wins Kansas

Quite a win too. Coasting over the finish line with no gas. Would it have been the gamble he would have taken if he was still in the chase? Don't know but it was awesome. My friend DTC was in the stands in Kansas watching the race. I can't wait to talk to her and find out what it was like in person. I would one day like to actually attend a Nascar race in person. I have been to tons of NHRA events, when my husband and friends competed in the super gas category. So I am not new to the racing arena. But the thought of all those people kinda gets to me. SOmething like Tony's claustropobia. AHHHHHH. Anyway the race was great.

Fall

It boggles my mind. It can be snowy, cold and rainy, or absolutely beautiful. I took the vette out yesterday. It was so nice to just enjoy and drive it. Won't be too many days left to do that. Today it is rainy and yucky. October, October, how on earth can it be October, that means there is only one quarter of the year left and it will be 2007. My goodness time passes fast. WOW.
