I don't know if anyone in the world would find joy in this but I got a kick out of it...We had a Easter/Justin's&Patrick's B-Day something or other at my mom's and didn't have enough candles for 28...
My cleaver mama represented the # with 2 tens and 8 ones....And I put the column down the middle to separate the two.

We just hope that sometime there will actually be some wind!
Yes, this is my 3rd entry in a row, same silly topic, but I have to post a follow up. Last week I found a few things to help with my sinus infection from a website and from another blogger. I thought, what could it hurt?, especially since I couldn't see a doctor until Monday, unless I wanted to go to quick care, which is a fate near unto death in my eyes....So I tried it all. I had a towel over my head inhaling a pot of steaming apple cider vinegar and was pouring salt water through my nose. I looked ridiculous and felt like I should have been sucking on tree bark next, but I didn't....but I was so desperate that I would have if I thought it would help. On Saturday I irrigated my nose with water mixed with 5 tiny drops of GSE (grapefruit seed extract) which kills bacteria. Yesterday, I went in to my Dr. appointment and waited 1.5 hours for the Dr. to tell
me I had a little post nasal drip . I was shocked! Hail to the Neti Pot, GSE, ACV, H2O, Sodium and some guidance from above! If anyone ever needs advice on a Sinus Infection from you know where, you know where to ask. I promise, this is the last post on the subject, which I know you'll be grateful for, unless of course you get a sinus infection and want some relief...
For a Neti Pot Demo click here...I enjoyed it until 1:28. If you don't like to hear his potty mouth, stop it at 2:20...
I now know exactly where my sinuses are in my head. I've never had a problem with them 
enough to think about their existance until now. I guess I have to go to the doctor for a sinus infection, so I will, but I wonder of your experience with sinuses and what you do if you get an infection other than antibiotics. I saw this Neti pot thing on-line and wonder about that. It does NOT look fun. Does the infection ever go away without meds? Is my cold still contagious? I'm ready for something and am glad I realized that was my prob. I'm tired of my head and face aching including my teeth, which is weird to me....Sorry if you don't really want to hear about this stuff...but it's all I can think about lately! Hopefully I'll figure this out soon. Thanks.
So I'm not sick from pregnancy but I got some crazy cold bug that has seemed to permanently inhabit my body. (Well, just since last Thursday but it feels permanent since I rarely get sick and am therefore spoiled. Usually everyone gets the bug except me.) When I got it I thought it was just a little cold but that was until It reared it's ugly head. It acts like the flu but I have only very mild nausea and no fever. Just major headache, congestion, fatigue, and downright miserableness. The weird thing is that yesterday I was operating at 95% and went out and had fun and probably gave this sickness to all the people I encountered. Well, today I'm back to 20%. At least the kids are mostly well and chipper enough to tear apart the house. I liked getting this picture in an e-mail which helped me look on the bright side... They could have done something like this during my bouts laying on the couch....
Justin is turning 4 next Sunday and I still can't decide weather to throw together a little party for him. I'm only on my second kid and I've already overdone it. He's been mentioning , " I want to have a princess party like Afton." So it wouldn't be a princess party, just something manly I suppose. March is crazy. My dad, father in law, Justin, sister in law, and husband ALL have b-days at the end of March! Some of my smarter friends waited till their kids were old enough to really get it. Well, Justin now gets it and I'm wondering if I should set up a system/certain years I do friend parties. Is having a party with friends every birthday for every child going to be way toooo much? For sure! I do like having a reason to get together with friends and try to keep it low key....What to do?Any suggestions?
I was just thinking how strange it is that I like grapefruit. At no other time in my life have I enjoyed eating the stuff. Now, I have one every day and have found great joy in scooping out the juicy flesh and eating it section by section with my beloved grapefruit spoon. It's my current favorite food ritual. Yes, some pregnick people are strange.
I've been thinking about blogging way too much...Probably because ............I've been in Blogland way too much (which is the result of 2 things: I give myself more excuses to be lazy when I'm pregnick and I have a laptop and can carry the silly thing where ever the kids are.) Anyways, I wonder: Why on earth am I (and many others like me) so into this whole blog thing to begin with??? Why blog?
It took me a minute, but it's hilarious. I looked over at the baby counter/development tracker and I laughed when I read, "Baby is now urinating." I am not good at changing diapers when they are just pee so I'm glad I don't have to worry about doing it for two children...just yet at least. I am interested in how I'll react/adjust to having 3 under 4. I hear quite often that it's the hardest to get used to. Maybe that's because with the 3rd pregnancy you don't spend every waking minute thinking about that little bundle of joy growing inside of you, as you are constantly full of wonder about what it will be like to give birth and have a baby. I used to spend hours reading pregnancy books. I think I've looked in one once so far. I do think about the fact that I have got life growing inside-at least once a day.:)
I am not the type to be anxious to have the baby be born as soon as possible. I have such cushy pregnancies that I actually find it much easier to have the baby inside the womb. Yesterday at almost 4 months I told Patrick, "I actually feel pregnant now, like there is something going on inside that growing bulge."
This is what the little tyke looks like about now. So peaceful looking... Right now my baby is very well mannered and enjoys just hanging out very comfortably with no complaints (none that I know of at least.) With baby inside there is no diapering, crying (even if it is so cute at first), long hours awake at night, siblings acting crazy due to adjustment, fatigue and trying to get back any semblance of a schedule within 3 months. It will be lots of fun. At least babies are adorable and make hearts melt which makes all the effort worth it!
another one on the way. I know what one lady was thinking, cause she told me while we stood in line at Wal-Mart when she saw a rambunctious little Justin and newborn Anna. "Your done, right??? I have four grown kids and wish I had had only two kids! We missed out on a lot of fun trips and extra things." Now that's really sad! It's especiallysad since she said it to a complete stranger who happened to want at least 4 kids. I'm happy to have children and enjoy all the fun and endure all of the things that are there to challenge me and make me stronger..and not be able to take that European vacation until a MUCH later date in time.

Recently, Justin thought you had to be 8 to ride a bike with 2 wheels. That all changed when he saw a little neighbor boy, Billy ride his bike at age 4. It gave him hope for himself and altered his view of life for the better...So yesterday morning he asked if he could take his training wheels off of his bike! I thought, sure, why not give it a try? What could it hurt anyway? (Well...I guess his body.) Dad took them off and walked holding his bike while Justin pedaled. If he let go, he fell. The prospects were grim.
