Being Four



Today i got the chance to review a book called Being Four by Kim Cormack

It was a very touching book. It brought back tons of memories of things as a child. Things i get to look forward to in my childrens life. Things that i never took the time to notice that my daughter was seeing. Granted this book is more suitable for a book to read to your child, it is a great book that i as a 27  yr old mother of 2 enjoyed reading. I sat and stared at the pictures on the pages for awhile as my mind wondered, back to my childhood and how many of the pictures in the book could have been what i was seeing 

I really hope this book comes out in print as i think my daughter would love looking at the pictures and seeing how each childhood is different but yet many children have the same memories.


OOPS! I just wanted to edit this.. I guess the book is in print! I would def recommend getting this book and reading it to  your kids.. No matter the ages! Also check out the authors website at:

good morning!

Why must my daughter fight me to go to bed... and then fight me to stay asleep, and then fight me to get up?

She fought me last night to go to bed. She finally passed out around 830 on the couch. So i was in the middle of a show so i let her sleep. Then as my show was getting over i was like ill carry her to bed. NOPE she was waking up. So i just started another show.. She went back to sleep so when that show was over i carried her to bed. She fought me a little and then was out again. Thank GOD! Then about 4 am this morning she woke up freaking out. I dont know why she does this.. But its like every morning she freaks out about 4 am. So i went and got her brought her to my bed and she starts screaming, which in return wakes up logan!  Sometimes its days like this that i wish logan couldnt hear anything.. Is that bad of me to say?

So i moved logan out of the room so i could get alaina to sleep.  Finally get her back to sleep but guess who wasnt tired enough to go back to sleep? ME! so i lay there cause if i move alaina wakes up. So then i just get back to sleep ( like 10 mins) and boom!!! alaina is up.  Trying to get this kid to sleep is almost impossible nowa-days.  I dont know what else to do. We have eliminated naps all together. So she no longer gets a nap. Plus we let her run and jump till her heart is content.. which wears her out but alas no sleep for the wicked... lol

trying to decide...

So on light of my new diagnosis. And depending on what my mri's say.. we might be taking the step of the snip.. well see where it goes... not sure if i want to take that option away especially with aarons record...

at a loss

So i have this dog.. bruno.. hes a great dog.. but he pees on the floor when being yelled at, trying to wipe his feet or anything else like that.. Other then that hes a good dog. But with the diagnosis of scolisos and MS and logan getting ready to crawl i just dont think its worth it for my son to be crawling around in dog pee.

For example... I found a thing of dog pee that was dried and my daughters been playing right there... kind of annoying if you ask me...

Granted he is my daughters dog.. but my kids shouldnt have to play in dog pee... i just dont know what to do.. And yes he does go outside all the time!

letter from my dr.

findings: three-view lumbar spine series demonstrates 5 non-rib-bearing lumbar vertebral bodies with normal height. The lower thoratic spine curves to the right and the right iliac crest is higher then the left. Disc spaces are well maintained. No soft tissue abnormalities.


so apparently my spine curves to the right... wonder if thats why its more comfy for me to sleep on that side.

deal pulp

this is an awesome site that one of my friends turned me on to. its called dealpulp. You can get things for half off or more! check it out!

I have gotten target gift cards for cheap, papa murphys gift cards for cheap! and many other things!

updates...

So my left leg.. the one i couldnt lift.. is getting much better. That is the knee i have arthritis in. I dont know if something is messing with the muscles or what but it was annoying.. BUT now that hip that was super sensitive is still super sensitive under the skin but the skin its self is numb.. go figure.

My right leg is soo numb it hurts.. I really wish they would figure this out. I am now on steriods 2 times a day and not 3. hopefully it will get better by the time i am off of them.

The mri place called yesterday and wanted to schedule my mri but i cant till i get approval through tricare.. so i told them to call me back.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So i am little frustrated. The only thing i have asked my husband to do is help put laundry away, clean the kitchen and cook dinner ( hes a great cook!)

Do you think he can do any of them? NO.

our clean clothes are on the floor in the bedroom, i am cleaning the kitchen.. and he bitches he has to cook.

Granted he works all day but so do i. I take care of 2 kids. And any parent knows that that is a hard job.

I have time to play on the puter ( obviously), watch tv, play outside, play inside, do laundry, vacuum,  lunch, breakfast, sweep and mop, and everything else but he doesnt have time to help me? this is his home too.

I feel like i am cleaning up after 3 kids. This is his day

Hes up, goes to work ( some days just hands out ammo- like lately) comes home, bitches, cooks, eats, and then passes out on the couch...

But yet, he just trashes my house... I just want some help.. is that so hard? I asked him one day if he could help out and he told me he acknowledged what i was saying.. but nothing has changed..

oh and do you think he has made another counseling appt? yeah freaking right...

SORRY.

Sorry its been soo long since i wrote in here.

We went to the zoo. It was awesome. Got to feed and pet giraffes. Be up close to monkeys, and my daughter got spooked by the grizzley bear. we had a great time!

I am soo not ready for my husband to go back to work. I have been enjoying having him home. But alas hes gotta go back.

Every day he goes back i know it is one more day closer to deployment. Which i am sooooo not ready for.

i feel soo bad.

I feel so bad. Aaron was looking forward to the jeff dunham show tonight, but our sitter just has strep throat and i havent been able to find another sitter so we have to either try to sell the tickets or forfit the money spent on them.. which bites cause i spent over 100 on them.  I know he was really excited. I told him to go with out me but he wont. So maybe i will be able to sell them and at a later date be able to go out to eat. This was supposed to be our valentines/ anni date since we missed valentines and will miss our anniversary.

Life blows sometimes.... Honey if you read this... Im sorry.


I should add.. that i in no way think laura is faking... im just sad cause nothing ever goes our way when we have something planned... ever! so i guess i was just venting.

Tuesday, March 01, 2011

so much to do today.. i have alainas hearing appt at 130 and then i have to rush home.. i got something very important to pick up today.. i also get to go to town today! yay!!!!

good morning

good morning everyone! last night was a looong night. I dont like thunder lightening or high winds.. and we had high winds.. All i could think about was my roof coming off or everything in the backyard flying away...

This morning i had to get up and go chase down my recycle bin at the other end of the block. I know its not any of my neighbors as no one else on my block recycles..

My trash can was knocked over and everything else.. usually i tie everything down.. but i didnt know it was gonna do that last night or else i would..

Today alaina is really testing me. She is chasing the dog and its not making me happy...

well logan is going off so i must go get him....
