Go, Go Away

March 29th I got sick with a real stomach bug, well Shea and I did we thing Sammi had it before us and we just got it bad. Anyway, It was bad the following Monday enough Shea didn’t go to work. And ever since them I’ve been feeling sick to my stomach.

Lactose intolerant? maybe it seems to be dairy that sets it off.
Morning Sickness? It’s possible but not likely. I was on an antibiotic and I forgot that it made the pill ineffective or less effective. But I’ve taken like 5 tests all negative and I got AF on schedule.
Ulcer? possible, I’ve been stressing over finances and the possibility of being pregnant and stressing over stressing lol.
Anything else? sure.

But what happened when I called to make an appointment last week. The doctor put me on some pill that helps with the nausea with out any indication of what’s wrong. I don’t like that. I’m going to call the doctor tomorrow and set up an appointment. I want to know what’s going on. I don’t like this. I don’t like it at all. The thing is it acts very similar to my pregnancy with Kathleen. Sick first thing in the morning, dairy upsetting me, food or enough rest help to calm it down. So this pushes everything else into the worry about being pregnant. *sighs* So I dunno what to do go to the doctor and see what he says. I’ll have to write down everything I know so I don’t forget about it when I talk to the doctor.

I just want to know what’s going on.

Life Sucks

For once I’m not saying this about my family. We have our own issues and our own problems, but Nat and Den their lives just keep getting dumped on. First they can’t conceive naturally and have to go through IVF. They finally get pregnant only to lose their baby a month before he was due. They spend the better part of the following year trying to get pregnant. With some major ups and downs through out that year they FINALLY get pregnant only to lose the embryo to a tubal pregnancy. I can’t say how much that pisses me off. Their luck is bad and they so want a child so badly. I feel so bad for them and I wish there was something I could say or something I could do to help them out, but we live miles away and really there isn’t much we can do even if we weren’t.

We are here for the both of them. We love them and think of them often. I really wish there was more I could say or do to help them out but I’m at a loss. They would be excellent parents and I fear for them, I wish them the best, I pray for them. I do what I can but that isnt’ much.

Guys we love you, we are here for you.

Bolt vs Cars

Sam got Bolt for her birthday. We watched it several times Easter Sunday and then the following day. We are back on a Cars marathon.

Cars is still #1 I think. Sam is sitting in front of the TV watching it while Kathleen plays in the tub.

Easters and Birthdays

Last night was a busy night for me. Not only did I have to bake a cake, I had a major migraine and a arts and crafts project to do with my little ones – dying easter eggs. Now Samantha wasn’t interested, but then I didn’t expect her be, she’s not overly artsy unlike her sister who loves to color, even at 2 she loved the coloring of eggs, even if she didn’t help much she still enjoyed it. Sammi, had no interest when she was told she couldn’t play with the cups anymore.

But we had fun coloring eggs in three colors. I had taken my meds and I’d asked Shea to get caffiene and he picked up supper, by the time he and Kitkat got home with Daddy my head was better and I was able to finish the rest of the evening with the eggs and all that follows.

But the one thing I didn’t do last night I knew I should have, but we got into Supernatural DVDs and I just didn’t feel like it was put the basket together and hide the plastic eggs. Because as per norm Kathleen was up at 6am which was the time I was suppose to wake up. So I did my best to hide the process and she was surprised. I even managed to hide her coloring book with ease.

We had a crisis before leaving for Shea’s folks house so we could get to church in time. The girls didn’t sit through church well. Samantha had to visit all the men and then she wouldn’t sit still. Kathleen would have behaved better if her sister wasn’t there I think. We left early and waited for Sunday school to start. They had fun I think, Kathleen had her first trial with playdough, it went fairly well but as suspected Sammi’s first thing when she got her hands on it was to eat it it. So we won’t be having any at home for a while.

They hid easter eggs and Kitkat had a blast it took Sammi a while for her to understand the concept as she had no interest this morning when we went looking for eggs.

We went to Mam and Pawpaw’s house and they enjoyed playing with the dogs and with a new ball for Sammi’s birthday. I think the biggest hit was Samantha’s Jack in the Box. She got Bolt, two baby dolls, a jack in the box, purse, glasses, and a ball. All of which her sister will probably enjoy more than she will. Sammi has no real interest in anything her sister doesn’t already have in her hands with the exception of cars trucks and anything she can push. My girls are such total opposites – one girly and one tom boy at least thats how they are at this early age.

That was the last party, I’ve come to the realization that Sammi doesn’t like fire and to be sang to, she didn’t like the cake ritual again. Oh well, maybe next year will be better.

All in all it was a good day but I’m exhausted.

Easter

We are down to the last birthday party for my youngest. She’s had 3 so to speak. We had one on her birthday with just cupcakes and a present. We had one for her and her sister and little cousins and we are having on Easter for Shea’s family to lavish their attention on my little flirt lol.

Easter needs to be more about just eggs and candy so I’ve insisted to Shea that we go to church that Sunday, he doesn’t have to go if he doesn’t want to but me and the girls will be. It’s not a problem as long as they have a normal service. There is no way I can make a sunrise service.

I know they are a bit too young to understand, but it begins traditions early and it enforces the sit still and be quiet rules that they so dearly need.

I am planning a small scavenger hunt consisting of three or four items around the house that Kitkat should be able to identify from some very vivid clues I plan to give her. It will result in them finding some color wonder marker sets and paper that they can then bring to church and not get all messy lol. I plan on hiding plastic eggs as well for them to find when they wake up, and of course easter baskets. We will be dying eggs the day before everyone but me likes hard boiled eggs so they will get eaten and Kitkat will enjoy coloring the eggs at the very least.

I think that after church they will be doing an easter egg hunt for the little ones then too. Not sure if they will at their grandparents house but you never know. We might hide a few for the girls Kitkat does enjoy looking for things and loves eggs.

I finally got my journal to cross post to myspace, twitter and facebook. Only thing I’ve not gotten is livejournal but I really don’t even use that.

So yay, there is one error but hopefully that can get worked out.

Fried Chicken (again)

I have tried on several occassions to fry chicken, all attempts have been unsuccessful. The coating always falls off, and I mean always, this is not good for fried chicken. So today I am trying again. I will be using Tyler’s Ultimate Fried Chicken recipe.

I have my chicken currently in the brine in the fridge. I’ll let ya know how it goes when it’s done. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will go well.
