Memorial Day weekend

Filed under: Uncategorized — christman1976 @ 8:03 am

Memorial Day weekend we went to visit Davey’s family. We went to his Mom and Larry’s house and got to visit with them, his grandma, and Uncle Denise.

We left out Saturday morning around 10am and got to their house around 3ish. H was a nightmare in the car. When she was not asleep she was screaming or being a brat. D kept asking if we where there yet the whole way and when we told him no he would say “This is taking a long time.” I can’t tell you what a fun drive that was.

I was never so glad to make it somewhere in my life. Once we got there the kids had a great time. Grandma Donieta got them a pool and a slip and slide so D wanted to spend most of his time in the water and H was ok with that for the most part. We all had a great time and enjoyed getting to visit with everyone.

The trip back was not as bad as far as the kids went but the trip ended up taking us 7 hours. It was crazy. We got stuck in traffic once then when traffic started to back up close to home we took the long way home because I was not going to sit in traffic again. H did much better because she slept more on the way back. D did not sleep that much but he was not asking us a hundred times if we where there yet or telling us “This is taking a long time”.

Once we finally got home we had to drop the kids with my parents because we had set off bug bombs before we left. So after a 7 hour car drive we had to mop, wipe down, wash, and bleach toys. So much fun! I have been washing clothes since we got home. I think I finally finished yesterday. On top of all of the fun I have not been feeling well. The kids both have runny noses. H has been really fussy I think she may have what I have. D has some really bad rashes that he is itching like crazy. That is nothing new though since the boy has the most sensitive skin of any kid I have ever met.

On top of everything 2 of our Beagle puppies have gone missing. The tri-color and the chocolate are the ones that are missing. These are the two that always stayed in the backyard and never really escaped so I don’t know what happened. I really hope someone took them rather then they got out and something killed them. So sad. They where really cute and sweet.

So that has been our long never ending weekend/week. I am hoping all the bad things are done. I really could use a break from anything else going wrong.

Taking the kids to daycare

Filed under: Family, Kids — christman1976 @ 8:12 am

Yesterday Davey had to go to Dallas for work and he stayed the night with his dad since he had to be there again today. I picked up the kids from daycare and H was he usual handful. My back and hip where killing me so I asked my mom to watch the kids last night so I could take some meds and get some sleep. I took two hydrocodone I had left from the dentist and I don’t know if they where to old or what but they did not work. I still was up half the night. It is so hard to get comfortable.

This morning I picked the kids up to take them to daycare because I did not want the daycare to know that D spent the night with my mom because that is the tool they use to keep him in line. If he is not good he does not get to go to mammaw’s and pappaw’s house. Anyway I picked the kids up this morning and these are just some of the conversations I had with Dylan this morning. He is so funny.

On picking him up.
D “Mama I love you! Are you taking me to school?”
Me “Yes”
D “You are like my own school bus.”

He was really into school buses this morning. He kept asking me if he could ride the bus and telling me that “Mickey and Alex” ride the bus. Then we saw a bus and he was convinced that was Mickey and Alex’s bus even though we where in the wrong town for it to be their bus.

When we smelled a skunk.
D “Mama what is that smell?”
Me “A skunk.”
D “It stinks.”
Me “Yes baby I know.”
D “We should give it a bath. A bath uses water and soap and will get all the stinky smell off him.”

Yep just give the skunk a bath. LOL

When I asked him if he and sister where good.
D “I was good but baby sister was bad. She was not nice to me.”
Me “I’m sorry she was not nice to you.”
D “I’m sorry I taught baby sister bad habits mama.”
Me “Thank you.”
D “U Welcom.”

This is because I always tell him not to teach baby sister bad habits because she is too small to do some of the things he does.

When I asked him what he did with mammaw.
D “I played.”
Me “What did you play?”
D “Maybe Transformers and stuff.”

This was just a few of the many conversations I had with D this morning. He really is funny. You just never know what will come out of his mouth. Normally I just take H to school and Davey take D to school so I miss all the wonderful things he comes up with. H just sits in the back and screams at me. Maybe I need to switch which kid I take to school. If I thought H would let me out of the house without her I might try and switch.

Happy Mother’s Day

Filed under: Family — christman1976 @ 9:06 am

I have been blessed to have some really great women in my life that I have loved and do love with all my heart. For all those wonderful women I wish you all a Happy Mother’s day.

My mom has always been a great mother who pushed us when we needed and picked us up when we failed. She is an incredible grandma as well or as my kids call her Mammaw. D would move in with her in a second if I would let him. I am so thankful for having my mom in my life and being so close to her. She really is one of my best friends and I just hope my kids one day will look at me the same way. I love you mom!

I also remember my grandma this day that I have to say as a child I would have lived with if my parents would have let me. I spent so much time with her growing up and she could be stern but she always had so much love for her grandkids. I miss her terribly and wish my kids had the chance to really know her. I’m so thankful that they will have that kind of relationship with my parents.

Also I would like to thank my Nannaw who I love very much for all she does for my family and myself. I always loved our visits to her house when I was a kid. Or when she would come to visit us.

To all the other wonderful women that are moms in my life I hope each and every one of you have a Very Happy Mother’s Day!!!

I think I am trying to kill myself

Filed under: Uncategorized — christman1976 @ 8:04 am

Well I think I am trying to kill myself. After hitting my head Tuesday I did not think my week could get any worse but it did. We wanted to get the ground where our back porch is level so we can poor concrete eventually. My dad has a friend that has a small tractor that offered to level it out for us. So the guys where all outside leveling the porch area out and I had H inside with me. I gave her a bath then I was going to take a shower because even though it was 91 and really hot I am still holding off on turning the AC on to save money. So I’m in the shower and H is standing there when all of the sudden she takes off toward the door. All I can think is I have to catch her before she gets out of the bathroom or I’m going to be running necked in front of open windows where the guys are all leveling the yard. So out of the shower I take off running after her to catch her before she can get to the bathroom door. This was a very bad idea. We have cement floors and wet feet plus cement floors equals disaster waiting to happen. So I get almost to her and wham I am flat on my back. Not even sure how I ended up there it was so fast. While I was sliding apparently I took H out as well. So she starts crying and I am just trying to determine if I have anything seriously hurt. So I manage to get up get H and shower off now that I have been sprawled out naked on the floor. I had a killer headache and backache after. Today I am very stiff and my back still hurts. I really am an accident waiting to happen lately. I think I just need to lock myself in a padded room this weekend. :)

Major Headache

Filed under: Uncategorized — christman1976 @ 8:41 am

Yesterday morning I was trying to be nice and not turn on any lights in the bedroom as to not wake up Davey and D while I got H ready. While I was holding H I bent down to get a diaper and stood up full force right into our wall mounted TV. I slammed my head smack dap in the middle with the edge of the TV. I have to admit I did say sh1t. It hurt like a sun of a gun. I half expect to touch my head and find blood. So with a major headache I dropped H off at daycare and went to work. At work I tried to eat which just made me even more nauseas so I ended up going home and sleeping. Maybe not the best thing to do after whacking you head but after I woke up I felt a little better and today the headache is gone and it only hurt when I touch the spot that I hit. So I just will refrain from touching it. Glad that hair covers my head because I would imagine I have a nice little bruise on the top of my head. Ma

I think all my kids do is have parties

Filed under: Uncategorized — christman1976 @ 10:07 am

Well my kids are having Cinco De Mayo parties at their schools so I had to make refried beans. My mom said to just get a large can of Ranch Style beans and some cheese and blend it up together. Well I have had my mom’s refried beans before and they are pretty good so I tried it. Well about half way through the can of beans and cheese I broke my blender and had to borrow my mom’s blender to finish. So now the parties today have cost me a $35 blender and the cost of the beans and cheese. All because some other parent signed up for juice. We are always the juice people. Every party the kids have we always do juice. So next time I’m going to have to be quicker on signing up.

I’m a Mom so yes I am going to worry

Filed under: Uncategorized — christman1976 @ 8:03 am

I’m tired of everyone treating me like a crazy person just because I want to keep my kids safe. Yes I may be going overboard but you are not in my shoes. You don’t have to deal with the pit in your stomach that something bad is coming. I have two kids that catch every little thing that goes around. If someone has something within a 10 mile radius of my kids they are going to get it. Plus I have already almost lost my baby girl once. I’m not willing to take chances with my kids’ lives. I don’t care if everyone thinks I’m the paranoid crazy mom. If I had enough money that I did not have to work the kids and I would be at home right now waiting it out. Since I don’t have that luxury I am doing all that I can to not go completely crazy worrying about them. I took what little hand sanitizer I could find to each of their daycares and asked the teachers to use it on them and on the other kids if their parents will allow it. I will be happy to buy more for them when I can find some if they will just use it. I can’t watch H for over a week in a hospital room with tubes down her nose again. I will do every thing in my power to keep her as healthy as I can. I really hope I look back in a year and think I overacted. However if this really does turn into something then I want to know I did everything in my power to keep my kids as safe as possible since both of my kid are so young. Last night I could not sleep because every time I feel asleep I had the same dream. I was standing in a field and all around me was nothing but graves. Woke up crying every time until I just gave up and stayed up. I know I’m nuts and not totally rational about this but until you have sat next to your 7 day old daughter after she has had major surgery praying she will not die and then live every day after wondering if she is just sick or did her intestines twist again don’t you dare judge me. I will be the crazy over protected mom until the day I die but hopefully by doing so I will keep my kids safe. Even if everyone thinks I am a nut I am going to do what I feel is right for my kids not what everyone else thinks I should do!
