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.

Dead Like Me: Life After Death

It's finally here and I can't wait to see it, in all actuality I probably can because I have been waiting for what, 4 years for them to bring the series back!

I've watched the trailer for it a couple million times and I have read about it (in hope that they would bring it back) since the series ended. And I am a little disappointed that Rube is no longer in it : (

And what's up with the new Daisy, really! She reminds me nothing of the old Daisy.

I'm becoming a critic and I haven't even seen the movie yet. Well wish me luck cause I have it and I'm going to watch it now and I want it to be good.

And y'all better go out and buy it and watch it and help it to make some money so they bring the series back. If you've never seen the show, go rent the seasons, whatever, just watch it. I like how this guy describes the show, how he says the shows a strange combo of the the cynical and the sentimental, you can read all of what he says here

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.

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.

While I have a minute

I have just a minute to ramble on about....well....nothing really.

I've been wanting to blog about so many things but I have so little time. For once my life has been crazy busy. Plus I think I mentioned this setup HWAG's got going on SUCKS! And makes me uncomfortable the minute I start typing, I can't wait to get a computer desk.

Expect some up coming blogs (that are a little late) about......

• Christmas (the happiest time of the year). Well my favorite time of the year anyways
• A recap of last year
• A blog about my new years (which rocked).
• My so called "New years resolutions". Which I'm preferring to call it a check list.
• More about my book She's gonna blow
• And my weight

I'm pretty sure that's everything that I've been wanting to share. I don't care if I don't blog about them until July I will blog about these things.

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.

Is the week over yet?!?

I am so (well) downright TIRED.


I am having such a busy (which never happens to me), and crazy week. I just thought I would let you all know what's been going on cause I might not be able to blog for a week or so (not that I blog all the time). But we are moving so I don't know how long we will have to go without internet.

My lil cousin (she's 12) had to have an aneurysm removed (it was right behind her left eye) on Monday, and I was at the hospital Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday helping take care of her. She was doing great they had moved her out of ICU before I left on Wednesday. But I guess now she's not doing so great she can't see out of that eye at all, she's finding it extremely difficult to walk. So they moved her back to what they call square one which means no getting out of bed, taking her meds every 4 hours, letting her sleep longer. They had planned on sending her home in 2 to 3 day's and now they have to keep her longer, they also want her to go to a rehab center after she leaves the hospital. They just took her and had another CT done, the doctor thinks it may be another aneurysm. Just keep praying for her. And thanks so much for all your prayers.
My aunt called me tonight and said that her youngest son broke his arm at school today (same family).

Did I mention I haven't been home much, my kids are a bit angry with me for leaving them for 3 day's so I have been paying the price for that, plus it probably doesn't help that I'm exhausted. But it really did feel like they laid 3 day's worth of crying, wining and fighting (with each other) on me today.

I felt like the house was falling apart when I got home. I'm sorry HWAG I know you tried (and he did) but I was so stressed about the house today; my hubby didn't pack one box all week. I was so stressed all day I packed and cleaned up all day today and I babysat and had my own kids. I know wha wha wha wha, I'm aloud to complain it's my blog.

WE ARE MOVING!!! Yey, and yes I am happy, no more crabby neighbors (I hope) and no more up stairs, and finally a 3 bedroom. Yey be happy with me. I had to go sign for the new apartment today and I called them to make sure we were good to go and they had us moving in on Monday so none of the paper work was ready, the apartment wasn't finished yet (maintenance was putting carpet in when I called). I was so mad they just had put the wrong date down, but you know HWAG had already got Friday and Sunday off so we could move. So I had to fight to get the keys, I'm sure they hate me, but I got the keys. Again yey. We can start moving in

I'm still reading my book, I'm learning so much and being tested to the max (like with today). But I'm handling myself way better. I'm handling my kids way better too. Duh right.

Well I guess I should go finish packing.

Hello it's the last day in October!?! Why am I still baking

First off I just want to say that I love love love Christmas time, and it's getting closer to that time and I swear to you the coldest it's got in the good old state of AZ is like 70, WTC!! I really do love my fall and winter COLD (I hate the cold, ask anybody close to me, once it hits about 75 I start complaining about how I'm FREEZING) but that's besides the point I like it cold so I can have a cold Christmas it just makes it seem that much more real to me that it's ALMOST thanksgiving and Christmas time. Today is such a nice day but it's still in the 90's. Okay weather it's time for a change.

My random update

ABB is doing so good in school, he was just going through a tough time in school. He started getting picked on by a girl in his class, the teach said she's mean to everybody but really gravitates toward ABB for some reason (probably because he's so darn sweet, and isn't mean to ANYBODY) did I just say that, I'm his mom I'm allowed. Well his school work was being effected by it, he was bringing home work that he just scribbled all over, and me and HWAG not knowing what to do about it we started talking to him about it (a lot) and trying to get to the bottom of the bad schoolwork. But then we realized he started liking the attention he was getting so we changed our way's and started only complementing the things he did right like wow ABB look at your name, you wrote that "(enter letter's of his name here)" letter so well type stuff. Or wow look how well you colored this square and so on. Well it helped we have only got good school work in return so I'm very happy about this.

Me and SOS have been running into some major problems at home like with the thumb sucking I just can't do anything to help her stop or to try and explain to her that she should want to stop. I'm thinking about scheduling her a dentist appointment just to have them talk to her about what she's doing to her pretty teeth. And she's CONSTANTLY telling me NO so I'm trying to work with her on that too, everything's no mom I don't want to or I didn't do it why should I clean it up or I want to do this not that. It's so aggravating but I'm trying to figure out the best way's to help HER stop, as in what is going to work for my sup-o-sensitive girl? How can I do things and get points across to her without hurting her sweet little feelings??? Oh SOS

I took LLOL to the store the other day and she had me laughing and calling HWAG every 10 minutes, I wanted him to hear what she said to me before I forgot. Oh and this is the first year that LLOL actually gets what's going on with Christmas (and I have a feeling), me and Rudy are in BIG trouble this girl loves the holiday's as much and if not more then I do.

Oh how I can't wait for Christmas!

C2MM called the other day she sounds like she's doing great I was so very excited to hear from her it had been like a month since I last talked to her : (
Any who she has an email address from school and she's been writing, I'm so glad because I have missed her so much.

Okay lastly, I have done.........well........nothing to help myself lose weight. WTC is wrong with me, I want to lose It's just not enough to actually get out there and lose weight, what's up with that? Why am I being so lazy??

Oh and here's a recent picture of me. I was drunk when I took it, but I think it turned out to be a pretty cool picture anyhow.

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
