Hump day thoughts

Oh it is Wednesday!! Looking forward to tomorrow, when CG and I can take the girls trick or treating. :)  They have matching costumes. Although, if you ask A.... she is going to be a red kitty cat, and C is a devil. lol    Little Diva Devils they will be. Pics to come...   CG and I picked up a whole bunch of glow bracelets for the 13 nieces and nephews that will be together tomorrow night. And I'm sure some of the adults will want some too.   
Thinking of one of the gals I proudly call one of my Sisters today. AG-R is having a hysterectomy later this morning. She has been having a lot of problems lately, and HOPEFULLY this will remedy the situation. <3     


I am feeling like complete poo today. All the nasty coughing I have been doing for almost a week, and now its my sinuses too. Grrr.. maybe a trip to Urgent Care is in store after CG gets home from work tonight. Ive been putting it off too long. Should have nipped this in the bud when I first started getting sick (thanks to CG)   

     After some vapor rub, mucinex, tylenol, and lots and lots of coffee... I had enough energy to get the laundry done, and folded, and all the dishes done.  Then I went and piled dishes back up making banana cream bars, and dinner. lol    oops. 


Have a good day, and remember... consider LilyBean & Baxter for all your gift giving needs!!

Deal 5 for the Christmas Countdown ends next Monday!! Plenty of time to go WILD for Zebra!

Medical Disaster...

Yup, you read right... medical disaster...that's what I am.  

So, I have developed either pneumonia, or bronchitis.. horrid cough, and difficulties breathing.  Last night, I take some cough syrup, with codeine to knock myself out. My back and neck, I threw out the other day super cleaning my house... So, without thinking, I take a couple ibuprofens too... wow... was I doped. Slept great though, and CG didnt complain this morning about me snoring... 

This morning, was very tired, as I didnt get a chance to sleep long enough to kick the meds. I was fine, then suddenly lost all feeling in my hands. they stiffened up, and not even C could help me bend them!! She was flabbergasted, and then tried to find someone else to drive to the bus stop, as I was getting very dizzy and falling out of my chair!  I thought things were fine and dandy,got feeling back in my hands, no longer dizzy.. til I got in the car, and lost all muscle control in my face... drooling coffee all over myself, speech completely screwy...  

My BFF D, thinks I may be having mini strokes. So I call the dr, and they are NOT concerned... hmm.. ok... they schedule me for a physical etc for next week. I guess if there is no reason to be concerned, Ill try not to be. but when it comes to things like this... I am a bit of a panicky person.  

        

                     OOOH!! A couple months ago, I donated one of my dads old USAF jackets to a crafty lady to make a memory bear as an example of the different things she could make the bears out of.   I got him in the mail today!!      

isnt he amazing!!   

I am so excited to take him out and put him somewhere... that the cats cant reach!!   Or my wonderful daughters... lol

If its not one thing...

Some days, I wonder if there will ever be a good thing to happen..  
Today, our power steering belt tore off... then we find out that all we need to replace is a pulley on the pump, and the belt.. the hubs and his cousin get it all torn apart, and almost together, to find out that there is something else in the pump broken... so off to the parts store they go to get yet ANOTHER part!!  

OY!!!      

Yesterday, A, decided it would be a good idea to eat a penny.. thankfully a bit of kool aid has pushed it past her stomach, but we are still waiting... for it to come out.. 
C, is being attitude supreme lately, thanks to puberty that is kicking in... in HIGH FORCE. 

In the last 2 weeks, there has been one REALLY good thing happen. Last week, CG and I decided to have a date night.. at the casino.   As we were leaving, we decide to drop a $20 into a $1 machine... this machine requires $5 a spin to play all the reels.. play 2 lines, win $50.. sweet... bump it up to 5 lines $500. a few bucks here, a few bucks there... another $500. clocked out that sucker at $1003    whooohooooo. paid off all the bills, put 4 new tires on the car... hurray!


Lets send the good luck vibes back my way....please!!!!

Go figure.. within 2hours of changing the belt, pump, and pullys.... the belt shredded....again.... WTH!!!!!

Wow... are we sure Im not blonde?

So, I decided this evening that I wanted to start a blog. Mainly for myself to rant...at myself... lol 

I clicked on blogger, and apparently i already had an acct.. that I started 2yrs ago and never did anything with. Yup...there's blonde hiding in this head of mine somewhere... 

Today, we had family photos with the fiancees family.   Pretty quick, and mostly painless this year. With 13 kids, under the age of 11... this definitely poses a problem."C",my eldest...was trying to protest the fact that she had to wear pink...even just for a couple hours... (needless to say as soon as we got home, she was into a skull covered shirt)   "A", my youngest, refused to take her self photo... period..no way... lol   finally Auntie E got her alone in a room, calmed her down, and managed to snap a pic. HURRAY!!   But of course, when it came time to take the FULL family pic... Im talking 13 kids, and 12 adults.... finished product is A crying in auntie E's arms,  cousin C hiding in his shirt, Cousin W looking at A....     someday we will master this art.. LOL 

                                            Yep, this is us!!  Our crazy "little" family.   And I love them all to                                                                                          pieces!!




I have someone walk up behind me as I type, and they tell me...ummm... you didn't say anything about yourself.. 
Ok then....    I am a stay at home mom of 2 beautiful girls..
"C", is 11, and often seems like shes going on 16.  Puberty...UGH. Shes in 6th grade, and plays the flute in band (just like mom did). However, it sounds like she wants to quit band after this year... I guess we will see. Surprisingly, she is doing pretty good in school this year, and is actually testing at her age reading level. This is something that makes me VERY happy. Last year, she was at a 4th grade level.  She HATES to read.... whereas me... i can read about 10 books in a week if I was allowed to. 

"A", is almost 4..  Stubborn and bullheaded like her father... She REFUSES to potty train... Says its scares her. Which is understandable.. She has had a lot of issues medically since she was born. And her ped dr actually thinks shes doesn't even get the sensation that she needs to go. :(      She has an amazing and active imagination, and prefers generally to play by herself with her stuffed animals in her own little world.


I have been with CG now since 2007. We have been engaged for 4 out of the 6yrs we have been together lol... Not really in a hurry honestly, although family has been wondering when we will finally sign that piece of paper.
CG works 2 jobs to support our little family. He is a security guard, and works at an oil change. 

As for me, I spend a majority of my day cleaning, chasing A around, helping C with homework... I also am a Farmville addict on Facebook :)
