Might be Getting Better

Today was an interesting day. I've been stuck in bed for over a week & I just couldn't take it anymore!! I got no sleep (again) & just decided to try the couch. Then there was so much laundry I started folding it. Then I was up & out of bed all day except for a little nap. I sure hope that means that I'm getting better. I am feeling a bit better today. I just hope I don't feel worse tomorrow. I've got to go back to the doctor this week. I hope everything is OK & goes as planned. My brother came over to visit which was awesome.

Tomorrow my mother is supposed to come by & get some money so she can do a little shopping for me. That's what my life is. Waiting on a ride from anyone! I guess I'm lucky to have so many people willing to help me out. Tuesday Baker has to leave for work in the morning & attend a conference that won't put him home until late night Wednesday. That's a  drag but work is work.

To Catch Up

I finally remembered my information to log in to my blog!! So sad I had to get the info from a friend. We have been so busy getting the house de-cluttered & cleaned so that it just needs touch-ups here & there. That way we can run out & enjoy the awesome weather as often as possible!


My wonderful husband, Jeff, always referred to as Baker by me has been working so hard. He's got two people lined up to (hopefully) buy my CTS. Then I can start saving for the lil car I'm going to get when my seizures have been gone for a year. He gave me my Mother's Day gift early & it's so perfect. I finally own an Amazon Kindle!! Just in time to get the May selection for my Book Club.


Book Club is through my "Mommy Message Board" that I absolutely love & couldn't live without. The ladies are like close, close friends & I'm lucky to be a part of their group.


I also have beautiful friends in real life. We're going out tomorrow night & to the beach on Sunday. I have gained so much weight that for the first time ever I am dreading the beach.

Starting to try & feel normal again

I went to Wal Mart yesterday so DD could spend some of her money & to get our planting supplies! Tomorrow's flower planting, almost always the same. Impatiens & vinca that always match...I know I'm nuts but they'll be so pretty. carnations because they're my Gram's favorites,california poppies & DD chose shasta daisies. Then we'll start veggies! TBC...

A long pause before the storm

My family is so complicated that we have to be broken down into groups so everyone can keep with one another! My little part is just the immediates. My Mom, brother & sister & I have embraced this & we're cool with it!

Just recently everyone was doing so well. Bro has an amazing girlfriend who has mellowed him out a LOT. My sister is married to a great guy & they're expecting baby #1!!

TO BE CONTINUED...

Thank goodness it was a good day

I needed a favor from my little brother & he came through so I paid him gas money even though he said he didn't need it. It was SO great that I can count on Tre. I love my brother. Thank God for his wonderful girlfriend. She keeps him grounded. Found out I could have just picked those meds up yesterday when I was in that area but that'd make way too much sense.

I have the biggest job ahead of me in going through all this storage stuff. It feels like it will take forever but I'm going in with a positive attitude this year. I just want to get it done right so I'm not going through all of this next year too.

Sorry the tribulations of my 3rd grader have come calling!

Procrastination Station

Springtime is my favorite time of year because the weather rocks. Especially this year. It was like there was no winter. (It kind of freaks me out. I shouldn't listen to Frick & Frack so much.) So great weather. Horrible allergies. No one can breathe! That's probably why I'm indoors with the one nostril that I can breathe out of.
I have selective spring cleaning issues. Yesterday I was ready to do work. Today, not so much. I need motivation today! It's looking gray out. If it would just rain already my decision will be made. If only...

We had plans to go out tonight that B backed out of & we had an argument because we are stupid that way. So he suggested Family Movie Night. Popcorn, snacks & blankets. I can't believe he suggested the Smurfs. That almost sounds too good. He must feel guilty for something... :)

OMG

I'm so addicted to The Hunger Games books! Help!

Just wondering but who the hell are you?

I understand the idea behind step-parents. But do not dismiss the fact that I am the mother. You don't tell me what I'm going to do. You don't decide how my daughter is raised. I don't like your means of discipline. This makes me really miss my SIL. She would not have this. You're liars & I have proof. I won't use it but don't lie to my face. I'm a lot smarter than you are obviously. Can't we all just get along. NOPE. Not until you recognize that I am the mother. I have the custody papers. & you are lucky to get what you get so I might consider shutting up. I don't care if I come off bitchy, un-willing to compromise or anything else. Life isn't fair. Lucky for me that I have all my paperwork. Keep trying to take my daughter away. Keep filing her head. I can't tell her all of your wrong-doings. That information goes higher up. So buck up or get back. My mind is not changed. Have a Happy Day!

This blog now returns to a positive place. Sorry for the disruption!

Thanks Jessi!

The construction has been completed! A very sweet girl got me all fixed up & looking great!

I haven't been reading very much lately. I bought around 12 books all at once & I just got burned out. That was until yesterday that I found out that The Hunger Games. Talk about good, I'm nearly finished!

Try to sleep again if I can! Night night

I had a great day!!

After much begging I've finally talked to my sister!! How bad is it that? She posted her first sonogram pics & of course I cried. Baby H is the size of a lime! She's loving her pregnancy & I can't blame her. My brother & sister are TALL! She never got much in the way of boobies poor dear but by Goodness she has some now! We think it's so funny.

I also spoke to my brother which is rare. He taught himself how to play the guitar about 3 years ago. Who knew he'd get so good? He's even giving lessons now. I think it's awesome! I'm also getting the Sissy rate to get lessons which I'm almost sure is free. I think it's so great that both my twins are doing well. I want Katie to learn an instrument & I don't see her injuring herself too badly. & maybe I can move her to the violin once she's a bit older.

Much less importantly, I FOUND MY RING! I thought it was gone forever. & I'm itching to go the beach! Usually we start sunning right around my birthday. I love North Carolina!

(Gotta love the Lakers!) Day 2:Katie finally went back to school today! She's finishing her meds & getting better but her doctor says her athsma's out of good control. We're going back next week to sort that out. My poor brother never grew out of his & he's just miserable with it.
I'm all upset because I'm not hearing from my sister as much. She talks to Mom about twice a week. I don't feel like she wants to talk with me. & I know it sounds ridiculous. I'm blaming hormones!

Under Construction!!

I am a lone reed. & all that other stuff Greg Kinnear said in You've Got Mail. I've tried to blog a little & have ended in...This is what I have now. I was talking online to a "mommy's place" & a lot more of them have blogs than I knew. So hopefully I can fix up the place & visit more often.
