overwhelmed

I am overwhelmed. I am trying to go back to get my bachlors degree, but if i focus on homework, the house falls apart, because my kids don't help....if i focus on housework, i'd have no time for schooling....

I just don't know what to do....

baby, baby....

Everytime I log into the Large Families board on Pregnancy.org, or read about large families, or watch Jon and Kate plus 8, I so wish I could expand our family more. I mean, I should be greatful that I have 4 wonderful children, but part of me can't help I want more.....I love my kids. However, part of me want another, or a few more....

Enough said.......

procrastinating.....

I should be studying....But I'm blogging....

I tried to get homework done yesterday, but dh was bugging me and not being very helpful...I wish he'd just help a little more.....

Other than that, s.s.d.d.

Cj is starting to crawl now, and that means the kids are going to have to help me keep the floor clean, whether they like it or not........

It's been a good summer, so far....

That is all ;)

wow....long time

Morning!

Things have been nutty around here! Summer hit me as a busy time! My kids are keeping me busy!

Our summer has consisted of cleaning out the house, and the pool....

we had a freak storm here, amazingly, we came thru unharmed....we had sever tree damage from the storm...

Here's a link to those pics........ http://s59.photobucket.com/albums/g303/starchild079/07-17-08%20to%2007-20-08/?action=view&current=4368280e.pbw

We went to Knoebles for a day, and had a blast...... here are the pics from that :o) http://s59.photobucket.com/albums/g303/starchild079/07-17-08%20to%2007-20-08/?action=view&current=6658120c.pbw

Then we went to my sisters....had fun there, and here are those pics :) http://s59.photobucket.com/albums/g303/starchild079/07-17-08%20to%2007-20-08/?action=view&current=5c1d7d76.pbw

Now it's back to the grindstone, cleaning.......wish us luck!

Updating..

I copied and pasted this from My pregnancy.org Jan. 2008 weekend chit chat thread..(pic from Babycenter.com email)

Ahhh....to sleep later than 6 a.m. Even if it was broken up...

Last night we had dinner at a friends house, and took our pups to her house, letting them play with her puppy (the one I puppy-sit) and they LOVED it...They loved it so much, I didn't hear a peep out of them until after 9:30 a.m.!!! The girls had a blast too, since they slept in til them too!

Cj slept ok, he was pulling on his ears, (Dh and I had tag-teamed him before bed to give him his meds, tylenol and eyedrops...which he protested the whole time) waking up on and off....(did I metion that Cj was 20 lbs 8.8 ozs at the ER?)

I told dh that he NEEDS to start getting more active with Cj. It's starting to get to the point where all Cj wants is ME, which is ok, but sometimes Mama NEEDS a break....Anyone else going thru this? I try to be understanding right now b/c of his EI...any suggestions??? (p.s. he won't sleep unless I am holding him and if I put him down, he'll only sleep for about a 1/2 hour...)Also,

I have been feeling really down...I started like this with Piper and went to a place that I didn't care for...I am going to talk to my Dr. and see what he thinks....Maybe I can get something for my anixety, or maybe they have some ideas....Idk if anyone noticed that I haven't really been posting alot...It's nothing personal, I'm just going thru this phase where I think everyone is mad at me, withdraw, and then start feeling better...

The girls are doing good, excited that school is out Monday (they have a 1/2 day, get their report cards)...I promised the kids I'd take them to the pool if they were good...

This weekend is a busy one for us....We have a wedding/reception to go to today and before that, we have to help my bff finish putting her air conditioner (that's what we started last night) in the window. Tomorrow, MIL volunteered FIL and Dh to move the woman getting married today to her new apt. with her new dh. Happy Father's day to them. LOL Other than that, It's to the pool if the weather holds.....(we got a summer pass)

They could care less...

Let me just say, that I didn't mean for this blog to sound like my life is a bitch-fest....But that's how it's sounding....sorry....

I am so sick and tired of dh and his crap....FIND A NEW JOB!!!!!!!!!! Obiviously this one doesn't pay! And when you're home, THINK OF SOMEONE OTHER THAN YOURSELF AND STOP YELLING!!!!! (let your wife sleep in for once????)

And Why can't my house stay clean? Just one day? Please?

Ok, pretty much done now...

Cj did the cutest thing last night at Tina's...He started laughing at me playing peek-a-boo....he would do that one syllabul laugh, and last night, it was the full laugh :)

Well, time for the next bus stop run!

bloggin is the things to do...

These are from Friday Night!

Ok, So, It's been a while since I've blogged last. I know no one is following this, or anything, but I feel the need to blog...

So, My weekend last weekend didn't go as planned...I wound up taking Cj to the Drs. on monday. He was gunky in the eyes again, and it was green, a sure sign of infection. So I took him in, and told the dr he was pulling on his ears. Doesn't my lil boy have his 6th EI? the rest of the day consisted of going home and making pepperoni cheesesteaks and that's about it...

Tuesday consisted of me worring out of my mind about Piper. She had an MRI, but they had to put her to sleep to do it...and anyone that knows, putting a kid to sleep can be risky. She did GREAT (and the MRI came back normal, knock on wood). We took her to McDonalds for a reward for being such a good girl. Then the kids came home from school and I had Connie's award ceremony, which she played with the band also. She got an award from the National Science League, for her contribution to the 6th grade science olympiad.

Wednesday was my day of rest...

Thursday was our appt with Dr. Greenspan. He opted for tubes (which i figured is where it would go) and Cj's getting surgery (tubes) on 6/23.

Friday was a pretty easy day, we went yard sale hopping....Then after Tina got back from Settlement, we walked to kmart....

Saturday, we helped Tina move into her new house! I'm happy for her, but feel kinda lonely now...Tina and Katie both have moved away and even though I see them almost every day and they're just a phone call away, it's just not the same as them being right next door or right up the street. I know we couldn't live near each other forever, but it doesn't change how I feel.

Sunday....we cleaned around the house, although it doesn't look like it...

Today I have a sick kid home from school (Pi) but it's ok, I want to get something done.....
