why is it so hard?

so i've been trying to get josh's bus situation straightened out for three weeks now. phone calls to this person and that person and this other person. transferred here. transferred there. hung up on. they didn't even go this week because they just couldn't get the stop right. i was told on tuesday that it would be fixed, and as of this morning, nope. so i took plenty of pics of where they want him picked up in relation to our house and we went down to the transpo office. less than 15 mins later we walked out w/ it fixed. i asked her if we'd have to go thru this again in august and at least she was honest when she said "yes". aaaaaaarrrrrggggghhhhhh!!!!!

I WON! I WON! I WON!

i finally gave up on sleeping at 6 this morning after tossing and turning for hours. plunked myself in the recliner, turned on the tv to the channel two news and goofy tim ezell is on the screen. he's the 5th wiggle. lol he was at EDIBLE ARRANGEMENTS AT 418 N 10TH ST, 314.241.6565. man that fruit looked so good. anyhow, the drawing was supposed to close at 810. at 750a when they went back to tim and he said they were still waiting for someone to come register i said what the heck. threw on some clothes, brushed my teeth, and hopped in the car. i got there at 810 on the dot. they told me i was one of three people so chances were pretty good. i thanked them and left and they called at 815 before i even made it back home to tell me I WON 4 TICKETS TO THE WIGGLES AND A 50.00 GIFT CARD TO EDIBLE ARRANGEMENTS!!!

wooohooo!! joshua is finally gonna get to go!! this is following my 4.37 electric bill i just received last week. wooooohooooo!!

almost 28 weeks....goal 4 weeks left....

so w/ all the problems w/ pre-term labor we've almost made it to 28 weeks. i've had to have my meds changed to terb every 6hrs to control the contractions, hopefully it works better than the procardia did. i got the first shot for baby's lungs yesterday and go back for the second today. so now it's darvocet, terbutaline, zofran since all the pills make me sick, ranitidine, faab tabs, and a random vitamin here and there. goal is 32 weeks. that's a month away. wow. only if she's healthy.

the cost of disobedience.....

the kids love books. they would check out 6-7 chapter books at a time. my concern is they have to be returned, you have that many out, and you can't keep your room clean, and things get lost. so over winter break i told them eff returning to school not to check out a single book w/o permission from me. well, that oldest, miss puddn, checked out one in february on valetines crafts. let some lil girl in her class see it and yep, the book was never returned. so now her report card is being withheld until the book is either returned or they get 19.00 for it! geez! i found it on one website, for 7.66 if i use google checkout. she had 5.00. think i might go that route and then make her work off the rest by scrubbing walls! and she asked for a nintendo ds the other day!

RANDOM PICS..

crazy pregnant dreams!

i dreamed i had a biophysical check up on the baby at 30 weeks and it was a girl measuring about 5 and a half pounds. ok. good. good. and then a little over a week later my water broke at home and we rushed on in because the contractions were strong and i haven't actually pushed a baby out since the oldest, the rest have just slid on out.....and as soon as we got there out comes this 2lb 15oz BOY!! WHAT?!?!? no, that's not mine! do something w/ that and give me a girl! but no, considering the fact the cord still needed to be cut i couldn't deny my tiny son, but i was still in shock! and then it was time to deliver the placenta and instead out comes my 6lb 1oz GIRL!!!

I'M TELLING YOU, IF THAT WERE TO HAPPEN THEY MIGHT AS WELL JUST KEEP ME AND LOCK ME AWAY ON THE LOONY FLOOR!!

way to go, tatertot!

i cleaned and put her potty chair in the bathroom yesterday. and a few hours later she told twiggi, "pee pee" and made a dash for the bathroom. she didn't quite make it, she was lifting the lid on her chair when she started to go, but we're still so proud of her!! yaaaaayyy for tatertot!
