Life has had me by the horns for a bit. I have actually NOT been busy just tired and sick so no posting how ever as of Friday the Dr gave me a clean bill of health except the cough that will persist for about a week. and actually that seems to be skipping town too. I even made it to church yesterday and was there for the full 3 hours. Saturday my kids and hubbie tested for their green and blue belts and so far we haven't heard any bad news so they must have made it. Then we went and got our new glasses. I like them I got rimless and everyone thinks I am nuts with kids but dang it I have nice eyes and I have HATED hiding them behind glasses. right now contact are out of the question and so is lasik so the next best thing I could see was rimless they are light and don't bug my nose and my dd keeps saying she can't see them so it works for me. I am about ready to go and pend a 100 bucks and get my hair cut and colored and do a manicure and a pedicure. I can't reach my feet anymore why not have somebody else do it for me.
And speaking of feet I have hit a milestone, for the first time in 7 pregnancies I have swollen ankles. I am guessing that with Christine it just didn't happen and with the others I was on bed rest and this point and who could have swollen ankles with their feet in the air. Since I am not in bed and I am able to get around though yup the ankles are definitely swelling. I am looking at this as a good thing I mean A) it means I am still on my feet. B) it means that I'm at least trying to get enough water in me and it is working and C) it means I am almost there the home stretch is right around the corner. My son has now decided it might be pretty cool to have a baby for his birthday I am hoping to make it at least that far and hopefully that next week. THe new hospital opens on the 25th and since I have all ready been to the old hospital I really don't want to go there again. I am working on my birth plan now and I am getting VERY detailed about things. See with the last one I should have gone home and they made me stay because I was at a 5 so this time I am not doing it their way I am doing it my way. ALL my way. Ok so a little controlling but dang after 6 deliveries and 6 healthy babies ya think Maybe I know what I am doing.
Oh and the song on here now well I am keeping it for a while since I have the whole gambit in ages of my little girls from the testing her abilities as a teenager to the testing moms abilities as mom 2 year old and realizing that they are all beautiful in thier own way then well this song just sums up our family and in 6 weeks we will again have the baby wrapped in pink. so there you have it.
More than redeemed.
Ok so my hubbie is back to being named most wonderful man in the universe. Last monday when the truck parked on my chest he worked from home, and then again on tuesday and ended up working from home the rest of the week even with a major project due soon. Proving to me not only his caring and deep love for me as I sat on the couch and did nothing after getting out of the hospital but also that he deeply cares for our family over work. frankly that is all I can ask of him isn't it, to know that HF and family come before the all mighty dollar. Oh and while home he cleaned every square inch of the kitchen including pantry and mopping and washing every load of laundry in the house including the bed sheets. I spent so many nights after he had gone to bed crying that I could not go up and just cuddle with him and love him with everything I am. I still can't drive and he again got out of work to take the girls (syd and Bri) to the Dr. they both have the upper thing that turned into pneumonia with me and still hadn't cleared. Bri now has an ear infection of which I am oh so grateful for.
I am going to miss the Pinewood Derby tomorrow of which I am bummed but I know this stuff will only kick itself out if I take care of me so back to bed with me and I will try and blog again about other things later.

will somebody Please move.....
Their Mac truck off of my chest. I have been inducted into the flu haul of fame. I have a fever and if I don't have fever I have the sweats. My muscles are killing me so bad that it hurts even sit up. if it was just a head cold ok inconvenience but I think I could deal. What is getting me is the dry chest cough that every time I cough feels like I am trying to push out the child that still has another 8 weeks or so to go. I have asked for a blessing so I guess I will hold out till then but I am really getting worried. I have had enough liquid that i fell like a water purification plant. Surprisingly enough I haven't even been on the comp long enough to say I have been there cause all I want is to sleep. Thank goodness I have a hubbie who stayed home to take care of the others so that I could take care of me.
My husband is Doomed
Doomed to a life of Female hormones and all that goes with them. Yup you guessed it DD number 5 will make her debute in 2 months. shocking enough is the the fact that I am good with her coming I can now plan on her and get things where they need to be for her to be here.
I do find myslef in a mess though with the fact that I did go ahead and give the little girl clothes that I HAD to the fire relief they had this winter, a 150 units burnt to the ground here. I gave a whole bunch of stuff and hoping we were having a boy I gave that too. Not that I am too worried about it. I do know how to shop. LOL

15 years, He ruined a 15 year
streak THE BUM BTW his new name is TOAST.
I am talking about my husband and the fact that in 15 years of marriage with have never left behind a child. Not ones we were watching or our own. Well he changed that tonight. He left the 4 year old at TaeKwanDo. See I took the kids and waited for him to get there then gave him a kiss and told him I was coming home to make dinner and left. an hour later I get a call from the gym and Jannette (one of the people) tells me that my 4 year old is with her and that TOAST has left her there. Just as she finishes TOAST drives up. I look at him and say did you forget someone. Oh yeah so he backs out of the the drive again and goes to get her. Poor thing her whole family gone. and Dang It he Ruined a great running streak. so from this time forth Dh is know as TOAST.

see what other bloggers do....
OK so Ky put this on her blog so Staci put in on her blog and now I am putting it on my blog. See it's a cycle I'm telling you next it will be an epidemic.
Congratulations. You are BLUE.
BLUES are motivated by INTIMACY. They seek to genuinely connect with others, and need to be understood and appreciated. Everything they do is quality-based. They are loyal friends, employers, and employees. Whatever or whomever they commit to is their sole (and soul) focus. They love to serve and give themselves freely in order to nurture others' lives.
BLUES have distinct preferences and have the most controlling personality. Their personal code of ethics is remarkably strong and they expect others to live honest, committed lives as well. They enjoy meaningful moments in conversation as well as paying close attention to special life events (e.g. birthdays and anniversaries). BLUES are dependable, thoughtful, and analytical; but can also be self-righteous, worry-prone, and moody. They are "sainted pit-bulls" who never let go of something or someone, once they are committed. When you deal with a BLUE, be sincere and make a genuine effort to understand and appreciate them.

Hmm I am thinking.....
Maybe HF wanted to smack the entire ward today. all three meetings (testimonies included) revolved around prayer. Sunday school was prayer, RS lesson was Prayer, we got a new counselor in the Bishopric and they bore their testimonies about being called of god through prayer.
So it got me thinking How often do I pray in a way that my father would like. See that was a big point today. somebody called it a grocery list. Do we go and to HF and say thank you for this, this, this ,and this, and then help me with this this this and this, oh and please help all these people, Or do we really think about what we are going to say before we say it. The analogy was made about our kids and how much we really listen to them when they continually are asking us in that Can it can I can I type of asking verses when they say hey mom I would really like to have this what can I do to make it happen and that our father is the same. to get the most out of him we need to ask what we can do so that all of that happens.
I know this is getting long but it really struck me. They also talked about how and when and where we pray. They especially touched base that during family prayers with small kids they need to be kept short so that small kids will learn a love of praying and not hate having to it. that personal private prayers were where we could pour our hearts out to him and let him know EVERYTHING in our hearts. Group prayer should focus only on that meeting and so on.
It was all so thought provoking that I am making a new goal to pray with more thought. NOt only that but I am going to work on a FHE right out of that manual so that DH and the kids will know too.

Ok a day in the pits.
SO I had a terrible day yesterday. lets start with my 23 month old decided to start her I'm 2 phase and screamed the entire day. Add to that a 7 year old that has decided the only word she knows is EH, and a 10 year old that thinks he is 26 and doesn't need to do anything we ask and can talk to us in a condescending voice sassing with every step he takes. Add o dash of PG with all the hormones that are attached. Then and just to make it fun lets add an 8 year old worrier that has an upset stomach. Add a bit of assumption and get a van that has been puked in. a great recipe for stress don't cha think.
Thank goodness for a VT that says you still want out and you can say HECK yeah. Those 3 hours made it so much easier to cope when I got up this morning funny thing was all we talked about was our kids and how sick they were and how they were driving us nuts. I do think though that it was just that a chance to talk with someone that would understand.
Oh I talked to my brother until the late hours of the night his wife did go home to OK Her grandmother is dieing and that is part of what is wrong. Her mother called my brother and told him what was really up. It turns out that his wife is going through a major depression. She also has stress induced anorexia so she is stressed and feels out of control so she controls what she eats. Her mother is going to get her medical help and My brother will go and get her in about 10 days. The trouble is that they are in the area with the HIGHEST rate of divorce is the military period. he is getting out of the military but he is afraid it may be too late. As I was talking to him he kept saying IF we get back and then he would back petal and say when. I have a little more hope that when she gets help and gets on some meds, that things will be better. There are other underlying things that were the cause of the depression that I am sure she is worried about but she needs to get her self back to a calm place to be able to deal with them.
so in short today I still have the kids that drive me nuts and I still have a sick 8 year old but I also was able to unload to someone that really listened. so I am able to cope and coping in everything right now.
