A couple more months

Better late than never though!! So since last time I wrote Melodys arm cast came off, Bubs was diagnosed with an allergy to something ; his strange swelling is allergy related; still have not taken him to the allergists to find out exactly what; we lost a dog (lua) gained three; sunshine, brownie and chloe :) i found a new job and started school; currently looking for a job in a hospital; i really want benefits and vacations!!! It stinks knowing i will have to double my work for two weeks if i want to take a week off!!! Plus getting paid time and a half is always better than just time :) Struggling with putting my stuff in order; my house, my finances, etc; figured for my marriage's sake better to just pretend for the most part that i am a single mom so i can get the stuff done that needs to get done; i also joined choir so i am pushing myself out of my comfort zone also! All four of the big kids are in school this year; its crazy that they are old enough and big enough but so far it seems it is going to be a good year :) Wow this is really disjointed and all over the place but its so hard to find a theme; i am sure being up for 2 days straight pretty much is not helping my thought processes either or dealing with a cantakerous old lady (stated in the most respectful way) i have decided though there are things i dont want to be when i am old;i dont want to be nasty in both hygiene and attitude, and i think thats pretty much it; i want to be a happy old lady who makes everyone smile and has tons of good advice though thinking that makes me think that to get good advice i must live through the learning experiences ; hmmm i think i will leave the jury out on that one!! So for now i am leaving the posting at this but will post later i hope :) good morning

Wow; almost two years!!

So I am almost positive that no one is still reading this; ha! I had even forgotten about this; i lost my internet for a while until feb of this year :) Great and not so great things happening now :) We moved into a bigger house; thank God with lots of room and i am for the most part loving it. Kids doing mostly well though we have diffrent medical issues we are trying to figure out for two kids and one issue i am not sure what is with a third oh and melby has 2 broken wrist bones but all in all its good for now; will write more later i hope :)

Introducing all the munchkins

So i added the kids pics for anyone who might be reading? Arent they great? I think that they are one of the biggest blessings God has ever given me and i would not trade them in even on the days when i would like to hide under a rock, well somewhere warm, quiet and dark anyways!! I cant believe my baby is going to be one next month. That is so incredibly sad to me! I cant believe that much time has gone by :( You know i find it so annoying at times that things come out of my mouth that i used to want to roll my eyes at when my parents said them!! What is with that? lol; you know, because i said so! If everyone else jumped off a cliff would you to?, hmmm my brain is deserting me at this moment but i am sure there are others. If anyone is reading this feel free to share! have a great night everyone! And yeah the snow is from our trip to wisconsin and michigan; can you say COLD?!!

Quick update before i go to bed

I keep finding things to do!! I just realized it has been almost a week since i blogged here. Quick update its now a min past midnight! ACK!! So anyway Sat at 1am i got worried about Jase. He sounded like he was choking; i woke dh up. He was worried too and since Kierstan so nicely shared her peanut butter with him(it was just a lick but still....) we decided to take him to the er. Turns out he has croup. What is up with this kid? I have never had so many weird things happening with any of the others. They had croup, we turned the shower on etc and they were fine. No drs needed. So anyhow interesting thing here; er dr said no fluid in his ears, one tube was a little retracted but should grow out of that; said if it was his child he would wait and see if he got another infection (sounds more like me) so then i get home at like 6:30 or so in the am. Fall asleep til i think 8 being interupted by kids,etc. Turns out 2 more kittens show up outside!! Are they ever going to stop showing up? So that makes 15 or is it 16? i cant keep count!! So then i babysat on Sat. ended up making a late trip out to the store to get Jase's meds (which i forgot to give him tonight; sigh) then home. My sis got her kids, dont remember much else, Sun we stayed home. Figured i would keep all my germs at home plus Jase was still not feeling good. Mon i gave my bro a ride to work, picked up my check, bank, gas station, grocery store, home, back out to the dr, dh got home late ; worked 10 hours though. Tues i have been here all day slowly working on getting the house straight. Nothing too exciting going on but just figured i would update. Oh yeah Mon the ped said jase might be getting an ear infection. She thinks he is but then it might just be a pink color from being "febrile" (basically means he has a fever) so she gave me a scrip. Now anyone who knows me knows i was polite enough to not roll my eyes but wanna guess if i got it filled??? The baby has been on 3 antibiotics plus 2 doses of one he is allergic too and they didnt help his ear infection in the first place PLUS you are not even SURE that he has one!! HELLO!!! ok so anyhow we have pretty much decided to wait and see what happens w/his ears and not do the surgery unless we are way convinced that he needs it. I am happy in a way he has croup cuz we probably wouldnt have gotten a second opinion otherwise. Dh doesnt often make his decisions like he did originally but he was convinced the dr was right. And i wasnt happy with it but he is dh so............. anyways i am happy in a way for the way things worked out! So have a great night/morning!!

Wed of this week

Was not the greatest!! I am wondering what to do. The ENT says that Jase needs tubes put into his ears as there is fluid in there. Though it is not infected. I have been looking online and i was suprised to see that the AAP doesnt neccesarily like the surgery and thinks its over used so....do you think i am overreacting to the bad possibilities of the surgery or do you think that i have a genuine concern? Having never been to an ent i feel the dr was too quick. Tho he may see this all the time so he may know what he is talking about...i just am so undecided. And wow what an amazing lightning show on the way home last night!!! Reminded me of the book THE GLORIOUS APPEARING by Jerry Jenkins and Tim Lahaye! Am very glad though that no tornados formed on my way home. I think i would much rather be able to see them in the daytime than have one hit at night!!

Groceries, The rest of my day

So much better!! Anyhow todays plans are to continue cleaning and to go to the grocery store. I am debating where i am going to go and i need to come up with my grocery list. I must save enough money to get Jase to the ENT tomorrow and church tomorrow night. Thankfully i got a chance to work Mon night for which i am extremely happy :) And I got paid for babysitting yesterday too so that means that I made a little extra; woohoo!! So i am thinking maybe i should wait to do my cvs trip until Sat. I am pretty sure that we can wait on toilet paper and diapers are good. I just dont want to miss out on the Pampers deal as i would like to keep my stock up. I do need to restock on laundry detergent but i am thinking that can wait til next week. It is a lot of work to stay on top of all the sales but i have saved a TON of money since starting and havent really gone too far out of my way. I ordered Jason a 25gc to Red Lobster and a 10 gc to Chili's. I figure i will hopefully be able to make enough money to pay the difference between the RL gc and the bill to make that his treat or else find something else. We shall see. And i figured he can use his Chili's gc for lunch for himself on his birthday. His work does give him a paid day off tho i dont know if he will take it or not. Anyhow those didnt cost me anything; i cashed in my clubmom points. I still have like 1500 points left. I dont know that they are doing the points anymore at all. I wish i knew; i may have to write them a letter. The bzzz agent thing isnt doing points anymore after July and is switching all their stuff over to mypoints. Yes opening 5000 emails and going to websites is a pain but if it gets free stuff why not?? When bz agent switches i should get enough points to take all of us out to eat or maybe i will order a gc to get me some decent clothes; still up in the air. Well i have decent clothes; i would just like to get some more flattering clothes. Not baggy t's and jeans that dont fit right. The size 4's from at least 4 (!!!!) years ago are getting too tight and the stretchy ones keep falling down which is not good when i need to sit on the floor w/the kids :( and the christmas ones are too tight at the waist; lol. Or am i just being too picky?? Anyhow so i am off to make my grocery list. Wonder if i should try going to Broad Street?

i think my most early post

I was reading a post this morning that got me thinking about my favorite scripture. I really dont have one. There are so many good ones and so many for the diffrent situations i encounter in my life how do you pick one? SO i am inserting the rest of my blog up here as this thing is annoying me to no end with the way it is set up when i copied and pasted! Ok scratch that. I am going to enter this and do another entry! I entered a giveaway with this one ; Eph 3:17-19 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
18May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
19And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
