Doctor Doctor

I hate trying to find a new doctor for myself. But I hate trying to find a pediatrician for my kids even more. Is it always hard for everybody to find a new doctor for there kids??
I've had to switch my kids doctor one other time due to us moving, but I ended up finding a doctor I just love and now I have to find a new doctor for them and I'm having such a hard time. I've been putting this off for some time now.

I feel like crying I just love there doctor but driving 38 miles with sick kids just doesn't sound that appealing to me, In fact driving 38 miles with well kids doesn't sound that appealing to me either, so I guess I should just suck it up and find them a doc huh!?! lol

Well then I'm off and on a mission to find a doctor for my kiddos.

Spring Break

My son is out of school for two whole weeks, keep me in your prayers because this boy likes to test me, he gets bored easily and needs his mind entertained at all times. Today's just the first day and I'm already feeling over worked. I don't know how his teacher does it.

Two weeks with sick kids

I can't believe I haven't blogged in 2 weeks.

We (as in mostly just the kids) have all been sick and I feel like I have no time or energy to blog right now.
So for now I have nothing interesting to say except sorry I haven't been blogging.

My daughters have bronchitis, well they had it last week anyway, I had to take them back to the doctors this week because my baby has 2 ear infections and pink eye, and when she checked them out she said they just have a common cold now.

My son had the stomach flu, and it started the day before Valentines. I hate when the kids miss out on holiday fun. : (

I'm feeling completely worn out (but haven't gotten sick.....Yet) I only say yet because I'm sure it's coming with the crappy way I'm feeling now.

Have you ever cut your own hair?

Well my 4 year old daughter has and let me tell you, going in your room with a pair of scissors, sitting in a corner and cutting your bangs out of your face isn't such a good idea.

We (as in me) have been trying to grow her bangs out so she can tuck them behind her ear or wear them in a pony tail with the rest of her hair. The problem with SOS' hair is that her bangs start in the middle of her head so by the time all her bangs are cut she has a mullet, that's why I wanted to grow them out. She really does hate when they get in her face but they where almost to the length of fitting in a pony tail and now, which she totally doesn't understand, is that we are going to just end up growing them out again. Let's hope this time she doesn't get a hold of any scissors!

Speaking of hair.

LLOL has always had problems with her hair. She didn't have hair for so long then when it started coming in we where so excited because she's the only one with curly hair. But when she was about 18 months she started losing her hair just on one side of her head and we took her to the doctor and he said (in different words) you don't see this very often and said there was nothing we could do about it. So we cut off all her hair, so it wouldn't be so on even. Well now that it's getting long again we noticed that the side she didn't lose is curly and the side she did is completely straight. So much so that you can't straighten the curly side and you can curl the straight side. Nobody ever believes me until they see her so.........
Straight side

Curly side


Middle
As you can see it's really bad, well I had a wonderful idea to let my sisters she her and they would know exactly what to do considering they are both stylists, and all I got was wow I've never seen this, shave it off. Jaw dropping advice!! Should I really shave my almost 3 year old's head? That thought really does make me want to cry. But I'm sure as she gets older and she's rocking this crazy hair cut she will want to cry.......everyday!

And while we are talking about my kiddos

ABB is losing two more teeth, and he can't wait for the tooth fairy to come.

1 tooth gone, about 20 more to go

My son, oh my little man, He's growing up way to fast. He lost his first tooth on Jan 18th, we were at my parents house watching the game (because we still don't have a T.V.) and he bite into an apple and it fell out. His tooth had been loose for awhile so I knew it was going to fall out soon but it still made me get all choked up. Any who Gandma and Gamppa where totally excited that they got to see him loose his tooth. It was really cute, there was a lot of jumping up and down, and screaming and big smiles.

So of course the tooth fairy came to our house and apparently she's a rip off, because $2 a tooth for a 5 year old just isn't enough, of course these are the words of a 5 year old. Oh well he was excited she came and excited to spend his money on Candy for him and his sisters, so she can't be that much of a rip off, right?



So here's a picture and yes that's his new tooth already coming in, and I know it's dark but It was taken with my phone. He's only 5 people, it's so crazy to me that he's already got a big tooth coming in.

On Top of Spaghetti

About a year ago we borrowed On Top Of Spaghetti from the library, and we do return it sometimes only to pick it back up again when my kids come across it or start crying that they want to read "On Top Of Spaghetti momma"

Has anybody else read this book, it is really cute, I enjoyed it the first thousand times I read it. I wonder what it is that catches my kids interest so much. It must be the song. I would love to buy it but I just can't justify spending $15 or more for a book that MIGHT (as in big might) get riped, or colored on or peed on, that's right peed on. LLOL peed on one of ABB's school books the other night.




So If you've read it tell me what you and your kids thought about it, I'm just curious as to why they love this book so much more then any other. It's strange to me because it's not just one of them that has a love for it, it's all of them. If you haven't read it check it out and tell me what you think.

What I did for my birthday this year.

Yesterday was so eventful I just had to share.



I got up for work like 5 min before I had to start.

Got ABB ready for school super fast, walked him to school and then went for a 2 mile run, which I did horrible at. I guess waking up and going for a run 15 minutes later isn't such a good idea for me. I ran about a mile and half and had to walk the rest of the way.

Got home finished my work out.

Read my favorite blogs.

And then made one of my favorite soups for dinner, we cut up everything and threw it all in the crock pot.

Then I stood there thinking wow HWAG still hasn't wished me a happy b-day what's up with that.

Listened to HWAG sing happy birthday to LLOL but still he hadn't realized it's my birthday.

Weighed myself and guess what I'm down 1 pound. Yey me.

Asked HWAG to run some errands for me. At this point I'm really wishing I would have showered before sending him out and about for a few hours.

Got a call for childcare and had them come over for an interview, landed a new job. Yey, It's only part time but hey I'm making a little more.

HWAG comes home FINALLY and asks "is today your birthday??" I totally don't answer him, so he pulls out my Drivers license and begs for forgiveness and claims he's the worst husband in the world. Not only did he forget my birthday he forgot what day my birthday's on.

Put the kids down for a nap and play a game of Phase 10 with HWAG and completely kick his butt at it.

HWAG goes to get ABB from school and I decide to make a phone call to our credit card company cause I've finally sent them a payment, they say I'm sorry to inform you but we no longer deal with your case you'll have to contact so and so, well so and so is an attorneys office, that's right they are suing us for the money we owe them unless we start sending them a $200.00 payment every month which is the least amount they will accept for only the next 4 months. Yey for getting bills paid off, not so yey at the amount at which we have to pay.

Call our car insurance company to see if they can lower our payment now that I'm 25, get this yes mam while most insurance company's offer discounts like that we do not however. By the way they claim that the premium for our state went up so now we have to pay $25 more a month then the past 6 months which truly bites.

HWAG and ABB come home with a huge thing of flowers for me and I tell HWAG the not so good news, which truly makes his day. NOT!! It pretty much put us both in a really bad mood, we just don't have $200 extra a month.

My friend Navy Mama comes to get her son, and I tell her to smell LLOL and tell me if she thinks that she might have an infection. (On Saturday we noticed that LLOL's nose STUNK really really bad, and it would start to smell better then it would get worse and yesterday when I would blow her nose it would come out a bright orange color so I was thinking maybe I should take her in to get it checked out.) Well NM said I bet she shoved tissue or something up there cause that's exactly what happened to my bro when he was younger. So I lay LLOL down and close her one nostril and blow in her mouth and sure enough a huge think of moldy, nasty tissue came flying out. Who knows how long that was up there. Talk about gross!!!

Don't ever do something like that right before dinner because guess what....you won't be able to eat. So I made my favorite soup and couldn't even eat it.

Then I went to work out with NM and came home took a bath, cut and organized my coupons, and went to bed.

What a fun birthday, let's do that again next year. DOUBLE NOT!!!

By the way I CAN'T WAIT TO GO OUT SATURDAY, I do believe I deserve it.

reupholstering queens

So if your ever sitting at home on the weekend before Christmas and don't feel like you have enough to do even though you haven't come close to finishing your x-mas shopping and haven't wrapped a single present, why don't you reupholster your kids chair and couch set. And while your at it use a broken staple gun (we knew it wasn't working right but didn't realize it was broken, duh!) and a wobbly work table.

Yep I'm not kidding me and mom decided to reupholster my kids couches. Which ended up turning into a 14 hour project....NO JOKE!

Here's what we did, by the way we should go into business because these things turned out awesome



Here's what the chairs looked like.....we found them at a garage sale about a year ago






This is all the staples I pulled out of the chair, and oh that's my pile of fabric


All cleaned up and ready for upholstery

Here's the couch right before we reupholstered it, we did the couch first.


Look at that new fabric, so cute right. It's colorful sheet music in case you can't tell.



And the couch almost done....

Doesn't it look amazing, not finished yet though....

All done and ready for Christmas. Isn't it so freaking cute. I wanted to add a different color to it so those things on the arms (whatever the hell they are called) are in a yellow and white checkered pattern, and we are working on some pillows that are going to have the same print. And my mom gave me some lamps that are yellow and white checkered so we have plenty to bring that color into my kids room.
And after 14 hours of labor and bruised arms, hands and completely and totally exhausted we are done with both


Here they are (compliments of my phone, that's why such crappy pics), my kids are going to LOVE them
I can't believe how long these babies took but it was totally worth it they look like brand new chairs, and they are so SAWEEEET!!!!!
Me and the kids stayed at my moms the week and weekend of Thanksgiving and on Friday I called HWAG and asked him to bring the chairs when he came to get us. So when we got home that Saturday night SOS started crying because somebody broke in to our place and stole her chairs and ABB told her no Santa came and got them he's going to bring us new ones.
Then with us moving and my cousin in the hospital and everything we haven't' had time to reupholster them but we just had to considering Santa is bringing them to us and all.
I'm so glad they are done in time for x-mas.
On a side note
I can't wait to get a computer desk until then I might not be blogging very often cause this setup HWAG's got going on SUCKS.
In case I don't blog again until after Christmas
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!! have a happy and safe one.

Because a thankful heart is a happy heart!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Well I'm at my moms so I have a limited amount of time on the computer, but I just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving to all. And list a few things I'm thankful for this year.

I'm thankful for my hubs HWAG, I'm thankful that he's the main provider for our family and he always has and always will work hard to support his family. He knows me inside and out and he's still happy to be with me. He's been helping so much around the house, and he understands that sometimes I JUST NEED A BREAK.

I'm thankful for my 3 healthy babies.

I'm thankful for C2MM, I'm always so happy for the times I just get to talk to her. I love hearing how amazing she's doing in school, she wants to graduate from high school and that's so big. I'm thankful that she hasn't let her mom define who she is. I love that we haven't seen each other in so long but we still understand each other (the way other peeps just don't).

I'm thankful for my ABB. He's such an amazing little guy. He's so smart, I'm thankful that he loves going to school and he loves doing homework, and he loves that he's learning how to read (he makes things seem so easy). He's such a good big brother, he's always watching out for his little sisters. I love that he likes to spend alone time with me, because I love it too.

I'm thankful for my SOS. I love how sensitive she is, because she's sensitive to all things, So all the small things we do matter to her, I LOVE that. I love that she has a million and 1 puppies and they each have a name and are so well cared for. I'm thankful that she loves books and she loves to run, we are so much alike. I love that.

I'm thankful for my LLOL. She is always and I mean ALWAYS making me smile and laugh. Who knew that a 2 year old could be so much fun (by being so damn funny)? I'm thankful that she's such a sweet baby. I love that she loves when I just hold and hug on her, it makes my day so often. I love that she can't go to bed until her daddy gets home at night and gives her a big hug and kiss. I love that she loves my dad so much.

I'm thankful for my parents. I'm thankful that I have them and that I got to spend thanksgiving with them. I can call my mom any time and she's willing to talk to me (specially when I need it). I'm thankful that my dad is still here with us. I'm always glad for how much they love my kids, me and my hubs. I'm thankful for my moms cooking. Yummy!

Well.....
I wanted to hear from you guy's, so if you want to share anything your thankful for please share it with me.

And.....
Here's one of my favorite veggie tales songs, it's so sweet

I thank God for this day,For the sun in the sky,For my mom and my dad,For my piece of apple pie!For our home on the ground,For His love that's all around,That's why I say thanks every day!Because a thankful heart is a happy heart!I'm glad for what I have, That's an easy way to start!For the love that He shares,'Cause He listens to my prayers,That's why I say thanks every day!

Say thanks everyday peeps, say it everyday. : P

Trick or Treat!

Here's some Halloween pictures.

We didn't know that ABB could wear a costume to school, until the last min. So we put together a costume really quick so he wouldn't feel left out, he went as a 50's kid. So cute.



And here's there costumes from Halloween night. ABB got best costume at 4 different houses. He was our "savings" like from the cox commercials. : P
SOS was a cow girl and LLOL was a Lady bug fairy, they all looked so freaking cute.



They had such a good night, It was so fun taking them trick or treating. SOS couldn't wait to get home and eat her candy and LLOL would wait tell everybody got candy and then she would tell the person k shut your door, I was like oh LLOL what are we going to do with you.

And after we got home we watched Spongebob Squarepants Halloween and ate candy, what a night.

Blastoff

Okay so where to start....

Well I'm truly Mrs. Bookworm, reading is my favorite past time. With a family I can't do it as much as I would like but when I do have free time I'm reading, and sometimes when I don't have free time (but can't put a good book down) I'm reading. I set a goal for myself in Sept to read 100 books in 1 year, so far I'm not doing so good.
I run for exercise and to clear my head I really do enjoy it, I don't love to train for a race or to feel like I should stop at a certain point. I love to run just freely. I would do 4 or 5 miles everyday if I had the time.
I'm trying to lose weight....blah. Promise I will blog about weight some other day. It's not my favorite subject, not even close. : P
I haven't made life easy for myself and I spent a long time beating myself up over it but I'm trying (hard) to NOT beat myself or anybody else up over it, I struggle but I'm doing better and I'm so much happier.
I'm OBSESSED with One Tree Hill (OTH) I will probably blog about it often, be prepared.
I babysit during the day but I'm currently looking for a night and weekend (Saturday) job. I want extra money for Christmas.
I can't spell to save my life but I love Scrabble it's my favorite game, I win most of the time. : )
That's enough about me.

Meet my husband Hottie with a guitar or HWAG I will blog about him often. He bugs me must day's but I'm in love with him, and his ability to wow me musically, lol.

I have 3 beautiful babies

My oldest started kindergarten this year, he's such a big boy. And he's an awesome big brother (ABB) He play's the role of big brother well, he's always looking out for his little sisters and any other kids younger then him as well. It's like having a second daddy in the house. I thought I would be so excited when it was finally time for him to start school but I truly was scared and completely NOT ready. But now I'm so glad he has school, he loves it and has learned so much. He makes me happy everyday.
My Middle baby is so sweet and so super sensitive (sup-o-sensitive) or (SOS) I really love that about her. She's me...she's all me, that SCARES the crap out of me. My little lady is obsessed with puppies and not actual dogs but stuffed animals and toy puppies, she loves them has about a million, has a name for each one and loves each one I promise you that.
My youngest is a handful, she's a lot like me too, but in the I'm the baby way I don't think she's as much like me as SOS. She's cute and funny as all crap (she's constantly making me laugh). She's way to smart for her age, she's got everything figured out (she's 2, she knows what's best) which also makes me laugh, she's a huge drama queen everything is way played out. Just thinking about it is making me smile she's my Little Laugh Out Loud (LLOL)
Last but not least is my lil sis (well HWAG's little sister) but we are so close, she's more of a daughter to us. She's almost 17 and almost out of school. She's super smart, one of the strongest people I have ever met and talented (like HWAG) in so many different way's she doesn't know how strong she is, we are proud of her daily. Me and her are so close we have a ton of different sayings for each other but my favorite is she's the cheese to my macaroni (C2MM)

Okay that was a super long beginning....I really hope you enjoy my blogging. It shall be fun
