My boys

Jayden in the backyard being cute



Terrell at Mill creek. I just love this picture of him, I can glimpse my big boy but yet I can still see a glimmer of a little boy

Super T

Terrell is running around the house today with his Darth Vader cape on. He is a superhero named what else? Super T. He was named student of the month for February for his class. Mom and Dad are so proud, it means he was the most improved academically. WTG Terrell!


In Jayden news, his vocabulary continues to grow by leaps and bounds. His newest word is happy. He sounds so cute when he says it. He also said grandpa this morning, I am pretty sure my Dad was tickled pink by that.

I leave you with a picture of my rug rats eating ice cream:

dotted post

I have a bunch of random things to share so bullets are the post of the day.

• My sister and I are trying to find a way for me and the boys to visit but damn plane fare is not cheap.
• Terrell is doing well in school
• except for the fact that the last 2 days he has gotten in trouble for pushing other kids
• I took TV away last night but I am not sure why he is doing this
• Jayden is talking up a storm and is coming up with new words everyday
• the latest is see ya
• Tony and I are in a good place right now
• for that I am grateful
• he is drinking less
• I am trying to walk on my treadmill 3 or 4 times a week
• I am not always doing it though
• both boys need new sneakers
• need to find some money for that too
• There is a blood drive at the american legion hall tomorrow
• I am going to go and donate if I can
• I went to my first city council meeting on Monday
• better than any soap opera I have ever seen
• I had one of the worst migraines ever on Sunday
• I finally made an appointment with the neurologist
• of course they can't see me till April

I am pretty sure that is everything.

Sorry for the lack of a post this past week. Christmas was nice, the kids were happy with all the goods and Mom and Dad were too. Got me a super duper new toaster oven. Woot, can't beat that!
The boys got way to much but what else is new? Terrell is really enjoying his new football and Jayden loves all the cars and trucks they got. Jayden has a new word, well that is not really true he has a ton of new words. Cold is the one he uses the most right now and snow. Yesterday when changing his clothes he was flopping around and I asked what was wrong and out popped COLD! It is so funny to hear him talking this much.

Terrell is enjoying his week off of school and has been staying up late and sleeping in. Which means Mom get to sleep in too. Starting on Monday I go on days and will be up at 4:30am and out of the house at 5:15am to get the kids to the sitter and me to work by6. Then off at 2 and rush home to pick both boys up, T from school and J from the sitter. God help me the first couple of weeks are gonna be hard.

I am working for NYE and still debating if I am staying at the hotel after my shift or if I am gonna go home. Guess I need to figure it out soon. What are your new year's plans?

More Random stuff

Some much random shit is floating around in my head so I thought what the heck write a blog post. I know how much my one or two readers enjoy reading the randomness that rattles around in my almost empty brain. So here for your reading enjoyment bullets.

• Terrell is loving 1st grade so far
• Jayden is now know as the destroyer
• Jayden has figured out how to take those little plastic outlet covers out of the outlets
• He can also turn the doorknob to the basement door
• Thank god we have a chain lock on the door
• Of course that means if you are down there and someone is upstairs with him they have to lock you in the basement
• So glad we child proofed the house
• Jayden also fell down the front stairs of the house, yes the concrete stairs, I swear I was right there the little guy is quick!
• Terrell is really starting to grow up right before my eyes
• It is making me sad
• This morning when dropping him off at school he kissed me and gave me a hug then said bye Mom see you tomorrow
• I miss my boy
• I HATE HATE HATE working nights
• My sister is close to possibly making her first home sale
• I am so proud of her
• My sister in law is coming to visit in November
• AGAIN
• she was just here in May
• and before that in September
• This is the most she has ever visited
• I need to go check my farm on facebook now so that is all
  

We spent the day today at the pool with my friend Lisa. The kids all had a blast. Jayden took to it like a fish. Terrell never got out unless he had to go to the bathroom or eat. It was so much fun. We just lazed around and hung out, just what I needed.

Let me tell you about my night. I get home and as I am getting out of the car a cop is walking up to my door. I was on the phone with my sister so I hang up and get out. He asks if this is my house I say yes and we go in. At this point I am pretty sure I know why he is hear because you can hear Jayden screaming bloody murder. You see it is summer and the windows in his room were open, Tony put him in his bed asleep. Now normal he will sleep until midnight or later before waking but for some reason he woke up last night early. Tony had take an ambien, forgotten to turn on the baby monitor and had the AC on in our room. He did not hear the baby. I had to prove to the police man that I did not leave my kids home alone while I was at work. I had to actually show him Tony in bed and then wake him up. At first I was not upset because I figure the neighbor was just worried but the more I think about it the more upset I get. He could not have been crying for all that long becase Tony texted me last night at 9:30pm that he was going to bed. This all went down about 11:15. For the love of god does this person not know that kids cry? I hope she doesn't think he is never going to cry or scream again because he is the spawn and screaming is his favorite thing to do.

Small update

Wow It feels like I have not blogged in forever. Just living life nothing exciting is going on around here. Well except for Tony's back window of his car shattering yesterday on his way home. Did I mention that my babies were in the backseat at the time? No one was hurt but Tony and Jayden were both shook up. Tbone on the other hand said it was no big deal.

We went to a birthday party this past Saturday at Bonkers. T had a blast except for when he lost me. I was very proud of him though. They made us move from the party area and I thought he saw where we were moving to. Turns out I was wrong, he could not find me and got scared BUT he did what Mom has always told him to do. He found a grownup who worked there and told her he had lost his Mom. As they were walking over to the main desk he saw me. He was mad but boy was Mom proud. See he really does listen to me sometimes.

Jayden is growing by leaps and bounds too. He can now climb onto a small chair. He is getting into a biting stage though and I do not know what to do. He bit me twice over the weekend. When you say NO loudly and with force he laughs. Ask my sister she has heard it. He is too little for the bite back thing to work and I have no ideas on what to try to stop the biting. BTW we are not breastfeeding, he bit my leg and my face.

Terrell will be 6 in 2 weeks and he is very excited to have a party. He keeps talking about tech decks too. Guess we are gonna have to buy some of those for him. He is doing great in school but we are having some minor problems at home with listening. I am sure it is just normal 6 year old boy crap.

I am doing good, Zoloft seems to be kicking in cause when DH tried to pick a fight this weekend I let it roll off my back. Work sucks right now though and I wish I didn't need to work. UGH oh well what can you do?

Sickness

So far today I have been thrown up on, pooped on and stubbed my toe. This was all by 6:30am. Then I got T up, just before he started to eat breakfast he said "Mommy my tummy hurts." Yup he threw up too. How did I get so lucky????

So much going on

I have so many thoughts swirling around in my brain right now that I thought a famous bullet post might be in order. Come on you know you love them.

• I am pretty sure I am getting sick
• Of course this would happen now
• I am event coordinating a function on Saturday
• I have to be there for the set up
• We have our home inspection on Saturday as well
• Today is my parent teacher conference with Terrell's teacher
• I need to find out how close to the end of the school year we can close without him needing to transfer schools
• I need to write a $400 check to the attorney who will be helping us with our home purchase
• I am scared to death about the amount of money we have to come up with
• $7200 for the down payment
• Another $5000 or $6000 for closing
• plus all that stuff you don't always thing about like
• $850 for the lawyer
• a new fridge and a washer dryer

• Oil, we heat with oil in these parts and a few days before closing someone will go stick the tank to see how much oil is in it
• Yeah we have to pay for that at closing
• Homesteaders act. Although our 1st time homebuyer class told us it costs on $35 and to do it ourself at city hall
• At closing they try to make you do it for upwards of $200
• Home insurance
• Packing
• Unpacking
• The kids adjusting
• Me adjusting
• We have lived here 10 years as a married couple I will be sad to leave
• I got the doctor to give me a new prescription for Zoloft
• Now I just need to fill it
• T needs a haircut
• J needs pajamas
• Anyone got some 12 month pajamas they aren't using?
• Did I mention I am getting sick????

Ok I think that is enough rambling for one day.

Good things and bad dreams

We went this afternoon and met with a Realtor. We liked him immediately and have decided he is the one who will help us find our first home. His name is Jonathan and his parents own the agency. So you know he was taught by the best. We are going to spend this week finding houses we would like to see and go look next weekend. I am so excited to finally really be starting this journey.


In the bad dream department I had a really bad one this morning. I dreamed that the boys were in the tub and for some reason I was in the other room. When I came back into the bathroom Jayden was floating in the water. I screamed and scooped him out, I was trying to give him CPR and call 911 all at the same time. It was so real and frightening, I woke up in a pool of sweat breathing heavy. I was crying too. I wonder what the hell it means? I never want to have another dream where one of my kids die, it was so real and so scary.

My sweetie

Terrell was so sweet this morning. He heard his brother wake up, came into my room and said Mommy I will take him in the other room so you can sleep. How cute is that? Of course I got up anyway but I let him think for a few minutes that he was baby sitting. We then made yummy blueberry pancakes in little circles for breakfast. Even Jayden liked them. So far it has been a good day.

Fun in Boston

I took the boys into Boston today for a Mommy date. We had a blast, we visited Auntie Susan at Faneuil Hall and then went over to the Boston Common. We played at the playground and watched the skaters on Frog pond. It was a little chilly but oh so nice to feel the sun on my face. I go back to work tomorrow, oh well only 4 days until I am off again.

Bullets Again!

I have all kinds of stuff on my mind so I figured a bullet post was due.

• Terrell turns 6 in 72 days!
• Jayden turns 1 in 110 days.
• I turn 39 in umm just forget that!
• Seriously we are gonna buy a house.
• I am scared shitless.
• Found out we might be eligible for down payment and closing cost assistance depending on what city we buy in.
• Sitting on a hard wood chair for 5 hours is not good for a bad back.
• Buying a house is really freaking complicated.
• The whole octuplet mom thing pisses me off
• Her doctor and or clinic was irresponsible
• it gives a bad look to all who use ART
• My doctor freaked about putting 3 back
• I am addicted to House
• I love Hugh Laurie
• I am still not sure what to do about my Dad.
• I did call and will most likely call again tomorrow
• I just don't want to have him die and then wish I had called him more often
• At least it will be snowing here again tomorrow so we will have something to talk about

Christmas 2008

Merry Christmas to you all. It is after 3 now and I am at work. I love love love going to work after the busy busle this morning. Terrell was so happy this morning, he loved his hot wheels race track and his slinky. Who knew that a $1 toy would be such a big hit. I will be uploading pictures in the next day or so. Tony got me american idol karoke for the PS3. It is fun and I can't wait to play it again. Jayden loved the wrapping paper and not much else. Off to do some work now.

My Boy

Terrell is the sweetest little boy ever! At the coffee shop this morning someone asked him what he wanted for Christmas. After his usual answer he also said I want my brother to have a fun day. AWWWWW

Sick

Jayden is still not feeling good and it is starting to catch up to me. Once I finally made it home last night he decided it was a good idea to wake up. You can't blame the poor little guy he is just miserable. Now I feel like I am getting sick. Thankfully whatever was bothering Tbone yesterday seems to have cleared up. Hoping we will all be better for the Christmas eve dinner and Christmas morning craziness. Have you gotten everything done for your holiday celebrations?
