not me mondays

Well the weekend flew past again. I dont' understand why the weeknd is soo dang short and the week just drags on most times. But once again its time for not me monday's again. Yeah I know I have missed the last two Monday's I due believe but its been just nuts here!! After reading what I didn't do this week head on over to MCKMAMA's to join in the fun. You can also check out everyone's not me Mondays and meet a few new friends!





I DID NOT have to take Camron to the ER on Monday(number on reason why I didn't do my not me Monday post last week) thinking that he had a sinus infection only to find out he had pink eye.





I DID NOT kinda laugh to myself when the doctor told me I should close my daycare for a day so I can clean and hopefully no one else gets the goopy red eye crap. Because being closed for a day wouldn't make a difference in my paycheck at all. I mean shoot we don't have any bills due at all.





After taking Camron to the ER, we DID NOT run to the store at 10 pm at night. I make my kids go to bed by 8 pm and never any later, who would let their kid stay up until 10pm just so I can run to the store?





I DID NOT turn around and have to take Jacob to the ER on Tues after all the dycare kids left. He most certainly DID NOT have an ear infection and a strep throat. By the time we DID NOT leave the ER we DID NOT have to go and get his medicine and we DID NOT to thru the drive thru at Burger King because we both were hungry at 10:30 pm.





Since we went to the ER on two different days we DID NOT have the same ER doctor who kinda looked at me funny when she first saw me. I mean how many other mom's go to the ER on two different nights with two different kids?? NOT ME!





I DID NOT just cringe when I found out that school was cancelled on Friday. I should be happy that I was able to spend extra time with my kids, and other people's kids ALL DAY LONG.





I DID NOT go grocery shopping on Wednesday, and spend 1/3 of my paycheck on food. Come on, we are just a family of 5 umm 6 ummm well ok maybe we are a family of 5 but iam feeding 8 kids mon-friday, and that's like feeding a small zoo.



Last but not least something that really DID NOT happen cuz if this did happened I don't think I would really be telling everyone. So I went to my friends, dad's wake on Sunday. After signing in the book I reached into my pants pocket and pulled out some money placed it into the envelope, signed my name to it, and placed it into the LOCKED box. As I was NOT waiting in line to see my friend and her family, I DID NOT reach into my coat pocket and DID NOT feel any money in my pocket, cuz if I did feel money in my coat pocket that means that I put the wrong amount in my envelope! SO after seeing my friend and her family I DID NOT have to hunt down the funereal
directer to tell him the mistake that I DID NOT do. IF that did happen that would be really embarrassing.

Now its your turn to tell everyone something that DID NOT happen to you thru the week. Wow as of right now I beat MCK MAMA to posting her NOT me mondays. Don't get used to me beating her cuz it never happens. When I notice she has her posting up I will link my post her her so you can check out everyone else's postings.

oh how the house smells wonderful!!

Oh wow does my house smell wonderful! Its hard to explain the great smell that fills my nose. Amanda had a giveaway for her 100th post. She had two great giveaways. One of them was this great candle, that I have burning right now. It came from Harmony Grove Candle Co. I love this candle so very much and the best part is its wick less. Which for me is great since I have a daycare and we can't burn candles while the kids are here due to fire hazard they can be. We have a two story house and I can smell this candle upstairs in the computer room. Its smells great. I really want to buy more scents now. If you ask me the best part about having a wick less candle is you never have to remeber about blowing out the candle when you are done, I have done that before. oops! Thanks Amanda for such a great giveaway. I will be ordering some more candles very soon!!

For sale two kids..... cheap..........

Yeah I know I can't sell my kids, but some days or some weeks I would love to. Let's see why do I want to sell them for............grab a cup of coffee, pop, hot coco or whatever kind of drink you like and enjoy my week as of today, which by the way is Thursday and I thought yesterday was Thursday!! OK here we go............. Camron was complaining that his head hurt last week and his face,under his eyes and such, so when Monday came he still said it hurt and his eyes were getting all red. I called the doctor's office and talked to the nurse telling her I think he has a sinus infection, what can I give him since Benyadril(sp) is a big NO NO for him, he has the opposite reaction to it where he gets hyper! So the nurse said to give him some saline drop/sprays up the nose and it might loose things up a big. Ok sounds good, also made him an appt for Tues at 8:15 am. So after maybe 3 times doing the saline drops he begins having green goop coming out of his tear ducts, I am thinking snot, yeww gross is all I could think! So when he fell asleep on the bed around 6 pm I knew he didn't' feel good cuz this kid NEVER naps EVER!! So Camron and I head to the local Non-emergency room. Since they were saying a possible 2-5 more inches of snow and all I could think was if we get this snow, then school might be called off which would mean taking 6-7 kids with me to the docs, NO THANK YOU! So we are sitting in the er room, watching cartoons and such and the Dr Coffee comes in (remember that name) takes one look at him and says PINK EYE! So no sinus infection just this damn pink eye. Drops in the eyes and he will be good. Sweet we head to the store to get his medicine and some food for the next day. Just remember this was all MONDAY


Fast Forward to Tues around 5:00-5:30 pm............ All the kids are outside with Jerry and Jacob wanted to go out, so I bundle him up and he goes and plays with the kids. He comes back in maybe 10 mins later, we take his snow suit, boots, hat, mittens and such off and I get dinner finished up. Kayden ( a daycare boy) comes in maybe 5 mins after Jacob. All of a sudden Jacob just starts to cry, and scream and carry on. I ask Kayden what happened and he has no idea what the problem was. So I pick up little man and we cuddle. Then about 6:15-6:20 I take his Temp and its 101.7 under the arm. Iam guess an ear infection once again. So yeah now its almost 7:00pm by the time the daycare kids leave I put on different pants and change Jacob into some pj's and we head to the er!! We get their in to our room, they want a blood pressure and oxygen reading and he wants NOTHING to do with it. He is screaming bloody murder! Now his temp is 103. something. The PA looks him over checks his ears, say they are red but don't look infected, could be red due to his fever. Check his throat and its red with white spots, she does a strep test and off she goes. Then Dr Coffee, yeah the same doctor that Camron seen a mere 24 hours ago!! She looks in his ear and says Yes he does have an ear infection, we get talking about cloth diapers since he was wearing a bum genius diaper and she also cloth diapers her daughter. Well in the meantime his strep test comes back positive! So strep throat and ear infection. Poor little guy no wonder why he was so miserable. So when we leave the er, we find the only pharmacy that is open 24 hours, and its maybe 15-20 mins from our house. When we get done their we head to burger king by now he is feeling a bit better since his fever was down and I was starving from no dinner also. We get home and into bed around 11 pm. I was just hoping that I wouldn't have to take Katey in on weds.

Well Weds came and gone with no er visit!! Thank goodness for small miracles. So then tonight, Thursday, I put the kids to bed. Jerry comes up and asked me how Camron go all those scratches on him. I am thing what scratches?? Go and check him out and he has little white dots on his belly, arms, back, but none on his legs. UGH!!!! When does the "fun' stop?? I know its not from any new soap or anything cuz I haven't changed anything. So I grab the anti itch lotion and cover him up. So now I have to take Jacob back to the docs tomorrow, Friday, just for a recheck I guess and if Camron still has these dots on his body he will go along.

So here is the pictures of the two cute boys for sale.

First up is a strep throat ear infection boy. Is cute, likes hugs and kisses. Sleeps thru the night. Not housebroken aka: not potty trained

We also have a 3 yr old boy up for sale. (milk mustache not included) He like dirt and sand. Sleep half of the night in his bed the other on the couch. Is housebroken.

So if anyone wants these children contact me and I will pay for the shipping.

disclaimer::: iam not really selling my kids, i would never sell my kids i do love them. sometimes lol....

Happy birthday big girl!!

Well today marks my babys big girls 6th birthday. Where has the time gone? I remember finding out that I was pregnant. I was scared! What kind of mom will I be, can I be a good mom? But when I laid eyes on that beautiful little baby, I fell in love, and I knew we would be ok. (my "d" drive isn't working I so badly wanted to post a baby picture of her) She was a great baby. She was a fast moving baby. Katey stared crawling at 6month and walking at 9 months and since then she hasn't stopped moving! If you ask me she has grown up way too fast, I miss my little baby who would cuddle. Its like she's in limbo between babyhood and childhood. One minute she wants to cuddle then the next forget it. We have been thru a broken arm, almost 2 yrs ago now, cut upper eye lid, and if you look close enough you can see the scar. She is this little sweet girl, and she is this feisty little devil. I have enjoyed these last 6 years of learning about myself being a mommy, learning about my little girl. I can't wait to see where the next 6 years take us to. As I look in the future I see this sweet little girl who will be surrounded by many friends, who will stand up for herself and others. I can see her being a great mom, a great friend, and most of all a great daughter. I love you baby girl. I will love you no matter what you do.
"i love you forever,
i like you for always
as long as i am living
my baby you will be





Happy birthday pumpkin!

no more baby.

Today my mom, the kids and I took Jacob for his first big boy haircut. Such a sad day, when they get that first haircut. They walk in being a baby and walk out looking like a big boy. No his hair wasn't really long but it was getting frizzy in the back. Will I miss those sweet little baby curls? YES! He did such a great job sitting still while she cut his hair.





Jacob waiting for his turn. He was soo tired by the time we made it to Meijers. Gotta love them rosey cheeks.





The back of his messy hair. Still waiting, but watching how the big boys do it.

She wanted his shirt off because of the hood. Jacob wanted nothing to do with the cape so she did with him shirtless. Look at that cute tummy. He already looks like a big boy sitting in that chair and she hasn't even started cutting yet. Every time some hair dropped on the chair he made sure to wipe it off. I guess he didn't want a hairy chair.

Look at the big boy sitting soo sooo good! I still can't believe how well he sat. Either he was just VERY tired or he really didn't care that he was getting a haircut. I will be posting new pictures tomorrow of Jacob's new haircut since I didn't take any after besides what you see. He did get a Baby's First Haircut Certificate, that says the date, who cut it and where it was done at, and of course a baggie full of hair.

happy new year's

Wow today is Dec 31 2008, the last day of the year. Where has the time gone? My "baby" will be 6 on Jan 3, it seems like just yesterday I gave birth to her. So lets see if I can recap the year. We were able to get our house resided for free, thru a get rid of lead program. We, ok I, choose the color of the siding. Katey started Kindergarten. The kids got their first plane ride to Washington to see Aunt Rita, Uncle Rex, and cousin Sarah. We got to see the Ocean, Carmon was able to celebrate his 3rd bday with Camron cow, who was born on his birthday.
Camron and Grandpa build a sandbox that Camron lived in after it was made. We made 33 dozen Christmas cookies this year and they are ALL GONE!! Man is that Santa is a pig. Camron started to wear BIG boy underwear! The kids and I toured your town and rode a CATA bus for the first time ever. We plan on doing this again this year. It was fun for all of us. I know we have more that happened this year but Iam drawing a blank right now. I hope that everyone has enjoyed learning about us these last few months that I have been blogging. So I will leave you with the last photo of the year. This picture was taken at my parents house on Sunday when we celebrated Christmas at their house. The kids all knelt by the tree to admire all the gifts, and it was just way to cute not to "shoot" them.
