So, it has been a few days...during those days I have come to a decision!!!! As soon as we buy this house (March/April)...the minute it is in our name, I will be ripping up the carpet and replacing it with hard wood floors. So I have already set a little pot to the side, My own personal floor fund! LOL Seriously though. The people that own the house now (and previously lived here) had a dog, and two kids...so the carpet was already stained to begin with. But in just a few short months, we have added to it dramatically. Hell, in the last week alone, the floor has been under multiple abuses. It has been vomited on, shit on - by both kids! It is disgusting...I just want the carpet out of here! JR and I have said that we wanted a few upgrades as soon as we buy the house. #1 new floors, this is mainly for the downstairs area. THe upstairs will most likely get replaces as well, but that is Further down the list. #2 We want to build a huge deck on the back of the house. We want an area for the grill, an outdoor living room area, and a sunning area. I am very excited about this and have already begun designing it!! I dont have a fund set up for this yet....but with all the money we are spending right now I can only have so many savings accounts..As of now, I have TOO many. I have the Logan account, the Landry account, the Floor Fund, the OurOwnHome Fund, the regular Saving account, then the Checking Account, and the Bills account...If I open up another account, the bank will definitely think I have gone crazy! LOL, I wish I could just put everything into a savings account (except fot the kids college funds) but I have learned that it is much easier to save money, when you have a name for what that savings is going to! Maybe, its just because JR and I are horrible at saving money, but since I have opened these accounts, we have done MUCH better.
Now, Logan was sick on Sunday, we seemed to be fine on Monday - Wed. Then on Wednesday I started the day not feeling very well. By the end of the night I had to go to bed early because everything on my body was hurting, more like aching which eventually turned into agonizing pain. Muscles were tight and sore, my bones ached and felt as if they were splintering off, plus my stomach was in knots and I couldn't hold down food. It was very bad, so I took a pain pill, I was thinking that my pain was being intensified because I was becoming dehydrated so I began drinking water.I basically took a sip of water every 2-3 minutes for 20 minutes, then took a 20 minutes break. I did this for two hours. Luckily I was able to hold it all down, and the pain started to subside (of course it may have just been the pain killer....but I like to believe it was both the pill and the water). At 2:00 in the morning I heard Logan wake up, he came into the room and said he needed help, I wasn't in a place to help so I let him crawl in bed with JR and I went to his room to sleep. I could still hear him talking to JR, telling him he needed help. JR told him it was night night time, and that was it. At 3:15 I heard what sounded like a volcano erupting, followed by my husband saying...oh my god, oh my god, oh my god...it's okay, come in here. I got up and went and checked what was going on. Logan, JR, the bed, everything was covered in vomit! Poor kid...he was asking for help because he didn't feel good! Wow, did we feel like horrible parents! The minute I walked into the room, I turned and walked right back out. My stomach was not going to be able to handle that nightmare!
JR stayed home on Thursday...I slept in until 10:30. Logan slept until 12:15. Then I went to bed at 6, woke up at 9, and was back in bed at 11:30. Basically I slept ALOT! While JR helped with the kids, he DID NOT help around the house, and now I am being punished because I have an entire house to clean, I still dont feel well, and I have the kids to take care of, ALL BEFORE JR's sister and her friends get here later this afternoon...not to mention that I have to go to the store as well! Yay! I just got royally screwed! I am not happy about it at all! Oh wait...he didn't sit around all day yesterday...he made his stupid cooler radio for the river. I am so pissed right now...Hope you all have a great friday. I am going to keep trying to remind myself that I have a great husband. I do actually have a great husband, but when it comes to things like this it really makes me feel like he has no respect for me. I know that it isn't true, but how else am I supposed to see it...He was too lazy, he just didn't feel like it, He's selfish...no matter how I look at it, it doesn't turn out well for him. But hey, that's life! I am just going to suck it up and get as much done as I can and JR will come home and help me...I just seriously hate the last minute rushing around stuff! Yuck!

Whirl wind!
I feel as though a tornado has run through my life in the last couple of days! HAHA. This post will probably be scattered and hard to understand...just FYI
Last week we got a new car (see previous post) It was so exciting - My eyes still light up when I walk outside and see it. Just the thought of not having to drive my old piece of junk is lovely!
On Friday night, I was able to go out with a group of friends while JR stayed home with the kids. He wanted to go out, but had to work the next day and didn't want to be hungover in the heat! Lucky me! I had a really good time. It was nice to just step away from being mother and wife and just be Sara - at least just for a couple of hours.
Saturday seemed to go by at a snails pace. I was smart enough not to drink too much, so the hangover was non-existant! LOL But just because I didn't have a hangover, didn't mean the day was ay better. The kids were fighting all day. How does a 3 1/2 year old and a 9 month old fight, you ask? Well, it starts with Logan playing on one side of the room while Landry plays on the otherside..(I swear I have thought about buying separate pens! hahaha) Then inevitiably Landry will make her way over and take one of Logan's toys...he gets upset and starts saying, "no sissy, no sissy! Sissy stop it" I try to get him to share, but he will have none of it. Then comes the bargaining...."Logan, you have 5 cars, pick out 3 and give two to your sister."
"But, Mommy, no."
"Either share with your sister, or go upstairs with no toys."
MEANWHILE, Landry is crawling ALL OVER Logan flaunting the fact that she has his toy!
Logan is really patient as far as not hitting her or anything like that, I am very proud that he is using his words with her and not his hands. He will eventually give her ONE toy, and because she is content with that, I let it go. Then Logan will lay on his side and try to block Landry from getting anywhere near his toys. But, my daughter is smarter than he thinks...instead of going around him, she just crawls RIGHT OVER him, pinning him on the floor. HAHA He will lay there saying, mommy - get sissy, mommy, hold sissy in your lap. Sissy GET OFF! Now while this is funny for a few minutes...ALL DAY LONG GETS ON MY NERVES. I just tell myself to enjoy it while it so innocent, because when they are teenagers it will be MUCH WORSE LOL. JR didn't get off work until after 6, but we were really wanting to take the kids to see Despicable Me. The problem was that we needed to make dinner, and eat, and then the first movie we would be able to get to was the 9:00. Landry's bedtime is 8:00 so we weighed our options. I told JR could take Logan and I would stay home, but he wanted to go as a family and neither of us really wanted to get off her schedule by such a large margin. Its one thing to get home around 9:00 and have her off schedule by an hour...but just starting a movie at 9...a whole other story. So we stayed home and went to bed early.
At 6:00 Sunday morning Logan woke up vomiting. JR had to go to work so I was had a sick child all day! ROUGH! I felt like a horrible mother all day....he would throw up and there I was hearing it and seeing it and trying to get him to the bathroom while trying not to vomit myself. I can handle blood and broken bones....but my stomach just doesn't handle vomit. I can change the messiest, stinkiest, most grotesque diapers imaginable...but vomit is another story. I would get Logan cleaned up, then go to cleaning the area that was vomited on, all the while praying that I wouldn't add to the mess. I tried teaching him to throw up in the toilet...the effort was futile. ughhh. He threw up ALL day long. Poor kid. I went to the store and got some medicine and pedialyte, he still vomited. Grrrr. JR finally got home and I passed on the next couple of vomiting spells! I guess it was a 24 hour bug, because he is feeling fine today.
Today has been a long day and it isn't even 2:00! LOL Landry is learning new things every day. Today - how to open the gate to the stairs. How to open the entertainment center and get into all the DVD's. How to squeeze past the couch and get stuck behind it! Oh, she is keeping me busy. Logan is doing much better today. Playful, and loving and arguementative all at the same time. JR just called to inform me that the radio station he was listening to will be having a red head bikini boxing tournament on Aug. 13 and asked if I wanted to enter....UMMMM - Is he crazy? Apparently red heads put on a bikini, use oversized boxing gloves and jump on a trampoline while boxing for cash prizes. #1 NOT PUTTING ON A BIKINI, #2 NOT BOUNCING AROUND ON A TRAMPOLINE IN A BIKINI, #3 ITS RIDICULOUS, #4 WE AREN'T SO BROKE THAT I NEED TO BE DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT. So I said thanks for the information, but I'm not interested! LOL The man is crazy! Hahaha - at least it added some humr to my day! Hope it added some humor to yours as well.

New Car!
Soooooo, I have complained about my car for a while - but let me just explain again what I have been going through!
#1 My car had 107,000 miles on it.
#2 The passenger side window does not roll up.
#3 The drivers side window automatically rolls down when you start the ignition, then you have to wait several minutes to get it up, only once its up - you can not roll it down with out stopping the car and starting the process over again.
#4 Every light on my dash is on. Low Tire, Service engine soon, low coolant, ABS, check engine, and so on.
#5 My coolant resevoir has a leak, so I have to buy a $10 bottle of coolant twice a week and fill it up every 3-4 days, depending on how much I drive it. Technically it isn't how much I drive it...its how long the drive is. For example, if I drive down to the corner store (1.6 miles) my car will leak for a little over 5 minutes...If I drive to HEB (about 6 miles) my car will leak for about 10 minutes.
#6 My shifter stick thingy started getting stuck. When I try to put the car in reverse, it takes FOREVER and lots of strength to get it to shift. Grrrr!
So, with all the things wrong on my car and the fact that the expense of fixing it is more than what the car is worth....JR and I got a new car today!!!!!!!!
We got a 2009 Chevy HHR. JR loves it, it is a little too bubbly for me. But I had to realize that I wanted an SUV and we weren't finding anything in our price range...except for 2005's or 2006's with like 70 and 80,000 miles...ummmm - no! So the car we got has about 38,000 miles and as I said is a 2009. It is cherry red (my favorite color) it is an SUV, which is what I wanted. It has god use of space, AND it doesn't have all the problems that my other car had....big plus! I will get a picture up asap...I posted it on facebook if you want to see it.
JR and I obviously have different (types) he thinks this car is AMAZING - its what he picked out online when we were just browsing...I wasn't super sold on it, as I said - I think its a little bubbly.....but hey, Its growing on me, and as I said....it sure beats the hell out of my previous car.

weekend stuff
Our Friends Bryan and Tina and their kids Kaylee and Kyler came down this weekend. We had a great time. We went to float the river on Saturday and everyone had such a wonderful time. That was pretty much it for this weekend...just go, go, go. Although it was a blast, I think JR and I are in need of some DOWN TIME! LOL I am constantly tired....and I have been having some stomach problems since Sunday. I can't really put it into words. I guess really this started a little over a week ago. I was having really bad cramps...then I started my period, and the cramps got worse - I ended up taking pain medication because it was so bad. By the end of it (Thursday), things were getting much better, but On Monday everything just seemed to crumble. The cramps aren't really horrible but they are VERY uncomfortable. I have basically lost my appetite. It is very strange....I will get hungry, but then when I go to eat - I take a few bites and feel like I am going to vomit. Nothing sounds appetizing at all....I have lost three pounds because of this - I dont mind losing weight...but not like this. I am 132 pounds, but if I dont have muscle to back it up - I end up looking gangly, and strange - I look more like a 12 year old than a 27 year old. I want to start working out again...I was supposed to start on Monday...but the cramping started and I just couldn't do it. I am tired...ALL THE TIME, but I am getting 8 hours of sleep every night. I wake up and feel like my eyes are swollen...just opening them is so hard.

Anticipation, procrastination and heart break
Today is going to be great...once I finish cleaning! Tomorrow will be even better, except that tomorrow is going to be a very difficult day for my family. Confused? Me too!
JR and I cleaned a little last night, but opted to go to bed early. It hit me about 30 minutes later we were in bed that I would be solely responsible for getting the rest of the house in order...laundry, sheets washed, toilets cleaned...yuck! I started to stew, but before I said anything to JR I realized that it was my own fault. I mean yes, it is nice to get some help from him - but he did help. He picked up all the toys in the living room and threw away the trash. So what did I have to complain about. Sure, it would have been amazing if he would have done more, but then isn't that MY job. The truth is I could have gotten the laundry done all week. I could have stayed up last night and cleaned the bathrooms. And I could have cleaned the kitchen after dinner last night. I dont know, this the battle I have with myself all the time. Technically, my job is taking care of our children. I am a mother not a maid - but any mother would know that when you become a mother, you also become a chef, a maid, an accountant, and a mother and wife! So should I be upset with my husband for not helping out more? Maybe, but I'm not...at least not this time! I have procrastinated all week, and now we have friends and family that will be here in about 7 hours...so I better get on the ball.
Tomorrow a group of friends and some family will be going to float the river. This river float is a two headed monster. On one hand, it will be so much fun and I am excited. On the other hand tomorrow marks the one year anniversary of my grandfathers death. Now, I have never been one to mark the anniversary of such a painful occasion. I instead choose to celebrate my Papa. His birthday is August 11, and I will send a card and flowers to my grandmother and I will wish him a happy birthday, even though he isn't with us anymore. I would rather celebrate the day of his birth rather than the day of his death. One thing I know for sure. Tomorrow will be a very difficult day for my grandmother and my mother. My grandparents were married for 55 years. I can't imagine the pain that she has endured over this past year. I am extremely close to my grandmother and I spent a lot of time with my grandparents growing up. I know that my Papa would not want us to sit around and weep for him. I know that he would not want us to stop living only to remember his death. I know my Nanny will mourn for him, I know she will cry for him. I know that she will not be able to think of anything else but the memory of him...but that pretty much describes her daily life now. Tomorrow, as I do so often, I will take the time to remember some of my fondest memories of my grandfather, and I may even toast a glass of Chardonnay (his fav.) to him! I miss you, Papa.

Worst night of sleep...
Let's see, I was correct about being on the verge of starting my period, and can I just say that I have had the worst cramps of my life. I ended up taking a pain pill on Monday. I have never had cramps like that before. It was horrible, and it spread through my body like a virus. My lower back felt as if it were breaking splinter by splinter - not to mention the PRESSURE. The it was like sciatica set in because my entire left leg was numb with pain. My hips, knees, and ankles were screaming with pain, and to top it all off my right arm was in shocking pain. From the bottom of my shoulder blade, wrapping over the top of my shoulder and down to my elbow was excrutiating. It was horrible. I took tylenol all day until JR got home before I finally took a hydrocodeine. I dont know if it helped or if I just think it did because it made me pass out!
Landry is probably the sweetest baby in the world, but she has been a red headed monster for the last two days!She wants to be held ALL the time - which I refuse to do. She crawls to wear I am, pulls herself up and proceeds to throw a fit, complete with makes fists so tight that she shakes. She bites down and clenches her jaws, which also causes shaking, and then she will smack her hands against whatever it it she is holding on to. I have tried ignoring it, and distraction. Distraction works about 50% of the time. Ignoring her NEVER works. She is stubborn and will continue to scream at me until I do something.
She has also taken up irritating her brother! I have to admit, I find it more than funny. Logan will be sitting on the floor playing with his cars, or Woody, Buzz, and Jessie and Landry will sneak up and take one of his toys! Hahahaha. Logan will immediately take the toy back, lay down and basically cover all his toys while saying, "No sissy, No, No, NO. Sissy NO" hahaha She will just wait until he gets up and do it again! It's hilarious. Although I think its funny, I stop it after a few minutes. She also tries to annoy him when he is on the computer. She will go behind the computer and move the screen. Logan has the same reaction, as do I. I laugh, then I move her to another area and give her some more toys. I feel bad for the little girl though...all the toys she plays with are Logans. I haven't really bought her many, so I am going to go get her 2 new ones on Friday...but what do I even get???
Finally, last night was the WORST night of sleep ever! Okay not ever, but in the last month, maybe two months. Because of my cramps I asked JR to take care of Landry because she was fussing at 7:00. Instead of changing her diaper and giving her a bottle, he decided to take her to bed. I knew it was a bad idea - but I was in pain and a little loopy. I told him not to put her to bed yet and he ignored me, so I said that when she woke up, it was his responsibily to take care of her. Of course, she woke up at 8:30...and he went to change her and feed her (I am sure he thought she would go right back to sleep). At 9:00 he emerged from upstairs with Landry in tow. I was upset that he had changed the schedule of things, but what could I say? At 9:30 I gave her a small bottle, and changed her and took her back to bed...hoping and praying that this stray from our normal routine has not really messed things up...we will see. I went to bed at 10:00 and was woken up 6 times from the time I went to sleep until 6:30 this morning when Landry woke up (which is OFF schedule, because she usually wakes up between 7:00 and 7:15) but what could I expect, considering her night time schedule was messed up. Anyway the cramps are back in full force and I am soooo ready for this to be over!!!
I have mentioned before that Logan is in love with Disney.com he plays everyday. I feel bad sometimes because I love the fact that he is developing new skills. He has figured out how to use the computer for the games...he even knows to hit the "E" button for the internet. Then to control the mouse to the browser and type in DIS and hit the down arrow key to get to the website. It amazes me that my 3 year old is capable of doing this. I also like that he plays several different games, and he has to figure out how to win them. HOWEVER, I have always said that I dont want my kids playing video games all day long, so I make hime turn it off after 30 minutes. He usually objects to this, but I think is now catching on to the rythym of things. He can then play in his room or in the living room...but I try to encourage him to play outside. We will all go out there and try to have a good time...but it is HOT, and Landry doesn't have a lot to do out there, so I try to take care of this during her nap time! We also go to the pool quite a bit and to the river, so that helps. But my rule is that he can play for 30 minutes, and then has to spend the next hour doing something else. Before he can get back on the game he must pick up all the toys he has gotten out. Like I said, there is usually an argument but I think he is catching on. I love it when an hour has gone by and he isn't begging me for the game...but none the less, I am incredibly proud of him!
Landry is probably the sweetest baby in the world, but she has been a red headed monster for the last two days!She wants to be held ALL the time - which I refuse to do. She crawls to wear I am, pulls herself up and proceeds to throw a fit, complete with makes fists so tight that she shakes. She bites down and clenches her jaws, which also causes shaking, and then she will smack her hands against whatever it it she is holding on to. I have tried ignoring it, and distraction. Distraction works about 50% of the time. Ignoring her NEVER works. She is stubborn and will continue to scream at me until I do something.
She has also taken up irritating her brother! I have to admit, I find it more than funny. Logan will be sitting on the floor playing with his cars, or Woody, Buzz, and Jessie and Landry will sneak up and take one of his toys! Hahahaha. Logan will immediately take the toy back, lay down and basically cover all his toys while saying, "No sissy, No, No, NO. Sissy NO" hahaha She will just wait until he gets up and do it again! It's hilarious. Although I think its funny, I stop it after a few minutes. She also tries to annoy him when he is on the computer. She will go behind the computer and move the screen. Logan has the same reaction, as do I. I laugh, then I move her to another area and give her some more toys. I feel bad for the little girl though...all the toys she plays with are Logans. I haven't really bought her many, so I am going to go get her 2 new ones on Friday...but what do I even get???
Finally, last night was the WORST night of sleep ever! Okay not ever, but in the last month, maybe two months. Because of my cramps I asked JR to take care of Landry because she was fussing at 7:00. Instead of changing her diaper and giving her a bottle, he decided to take her to bed. I knew it was a bad idea - but I was in pain and a little loopy. I told him not to put her to bed yet and he ignored me, so I said that when she woke up, it was his responsibily to take care of her. Of course, she woke up at 8:30...and he went to change her and feed her (I am sure he thought she would go right back to sleep). At 9:00 he emerged from upstairs with Landry in tow. I was upset that he had changed the schedule of things, but what could I say? At 9:30 I gave her a small bottle, and changed her and took her back to bed...hoping and praying that this stray from our normal routine has not really messed things up...we will see. I went to bed at 10:00 and was woken up 6 times from the time I went to sleep until 6:30 this morning when Landry woke up (which is OFF schedule, because she usually wakes up between 7:00 and 7:15) but what could I expect, considering her night time schedule was messed up. Anyway the cramps are back in full force and I am soooo ready for this to be over!!!
I have mentioned before that Logan is in love with Disney.com he plays everyday. I feel bad sometimes because I love the fact that he is developing new skills. He has figured out how to use the computer for the games...he even knows to hit the "E" button for the internet. Then to control the mouse to the browser and type in DIS and hit the down arrow key to get to the website. It amazes me that my 3 year old is capable of doing this. I also like that he plays several different games, and he has to figure out how to win them. HOWEVER, I have always said that I dont want my kids playing video games all day long, so I make hime turn it off after 30 minutes. He usually objects to this, but I think is now catching on to the rythym of things. He can then play in his room or in the living room...but I try to encourage him to play outside. We will all go out there and try to have a good time...but it is HOT, and Landry doesn't have a lot to do out there, so I try to take care of this during her nap time! We also go to the pool quite a bit and to the river, so that helps. But my rule is that he can play for 30 minutes, and then has to spend the next hour doing something else. Before he can get back on the game he must pick up all the toys he has gotten out. Like I said, there is usually an argument but I think he is catching on. I love it when an hour has gone by and he isn't begging me for the game...but none the less, I am incredibly proud of him!

Random
Well its Saturday and JR is off at work. I want to complain, but I can't. He was home last weekend - but seriously, when did it become normal for him to work every other weekend? I vividly remember the day he came home to tell me that he would have to work SOME weekends...hmmm. Another reason I can not complain is that we need the money. JR took two half days last week and this week has been rainy and gross so he has been home more than usual. This leads to another thought. Is this really why I want him home? It makes it easier when it is two adults to two kids. Did I get spoiled over the last two weeks? This is really why 3 day weekends are both wonderful and horrible. More family time, but then schedules change, I get used to having a helping hand, and then just like that - it's ripped away!
We got a letter from the lovely IRS saying that we owe $1,190 from 2008...WTF? Why are you just telling us now....ughh! I was ready to dispute it until I realized they were right, shit. What now? So then start the evil thoughts. Thoughts of inadequecy. Time for me to get a job. But that only leads us back to the same merry-go-round ride we always end up on. Will the job I get actually make us enough money two afford two kids in daycare AND make a profit? I doubt it. So I sit here stuck in limbo.
Speaking of the IRS...every year, JR and I end up spending our return way before it gets here. Well this years money is going to a new car! Thank you, Jesus! My car is seriously on the verge of crapping out....please, hold on until February. My passenger side window refuses to roll up, my drivers side window automatically rolls down when you start the car, then you must wait at least two minutes to roll it up - and once it's up, you can not roll it back down with out restarting the car. There is a hole in the resevoir that holds the coolant, so that has to be replaced every three or four days. So I rarely leave the house to drive anywhere, because yes, I realize that it would be cheaper in the long run to just get it fixed than to pay $10 every three or four days. hmmmm....problem is that we just dont have the money, which is my fault because I got too hasty and have been paying a double ring payment and double student loan payment for the last 4 months...My hope was to FINALLY be done paying the ring payment, and to cut the amount we owe on JR's student loan. We still have about 12 - 13 more years to pay, so I figured if I doubled the payments it would more than cut the years in half (due to interest). Plus, I want the ring paid off before we buy a car because we are going to need that money to make a car payment. I just dont think we could afford to add in a car note. Not with the bills we have right now. Plus, now we need to get this $1200 paid back to the IRS before febuary as well. The idea here is to minimize the bills before we start adding new ones! Geez!
Here is another kicker, JR and I were planning to buy the house we are in at the end of the year. But I just can't see that happening...I have to have a new car. As much as I love the house we are in, I just dont see how we can do it, unless the owners decide to owner finance. That is really the only way because, when our income tax return gets here, I am going straight to the dealership. Why do I get the feeling it will be pushed back? And will my car make it another year? Doubtful.

My little fussy butt!
Man, Landry has been on a terror this morning. It's so weird because I know that if we were around other people they would probably think that her crying is just the usual...but it isn't. In fact, when I really think about it - she doesn't cry very often at all. I mean, she whines a little when she is hungry or sleepy....but I am talking about CRYING....full, lungs expanded, wailing. Yesterday, she did this - but I figured out that it was gas. Today she has been doing it...but it was because she was sleepy...go figure...she skipped a nap yesterday! Now we are back on the usual schedule, but I am wondering if she will drop her next nap....I can tell that we are DEFINITELY in a transitioning stage...but I dont think either of us know which nap to drop! Haha. My plan was to just stretch her awake times out about 30 minutes...and move up to 45 minutes and then and hour. This worked for me today with her first nap (which she is taking now) She woke up at 7:30 (Lucky me...SERIOUSLY) and she usually goes down for her first nap somewhere between 9:45 and 10:00...but today I laid her down at 10:30. That 30 minutes was pure hell....but we hung in there and now she is sleeping like a princess. My biggest concern is that this might mess up her bedtime. Landry is almost always in bed by 8:00...sometimes this gets screwed up when we are out eating dinner or at a friends house, but I try really hard to get home as close to 8:00 as possible, and when I know I am not going to I take the pack n play for her to sleep in. It has been a totally different experience having a child that is on a schedule. I feel bad for Logan sometimes, because I feel like he was my trial and error! LOL At the time I know I did the best I could...and well - lets face it, he turned out just fine. The boy is amazing...but I made a lot of mistakes that I am correcting with Landry. Such as, the schedule, not letting her fall asleep in my arms, not sleeping with me...etc. In no way do I believe that these choices will greatly impact who they become as individuals...I think that comes from discipline, morals, faith, good examples...and yes even mistakes. But I do believe that having a schedule implements a sense of discipline at the very beginning which may make it easier later (or it may not...we will see)...but it ABSOLUTELY makes it easier right now!
I have been pretty emotional the last couple of days (no, I am not pregnant....more likely about to start my period), I think about my kids and how wonderful they are. How I desperately want them to stay babies...and yet I can't wait to see the people they will become. I think about how I wish Logan was still Landry's age. I think about when he could still fit in my arms and how he would just stare at me with those big beautiful eyes. Now he sits in my lap and cuddles, but he is so big and long...but he still has those big, beautiful eyes. My next thoughts go to what he will be like as a teenager, and then what college he will go to, will he marry his high school sweetheart, or will he met his wife in college? Will I like her, will she like me - and do I care? LOL These thoughts haven't really hit me with Landry yet...maybe because she is still so small - I dont know...I just have these thoughts because I look at my son sometimes, and this harsh reality sets in...he isn't a baby anymore. The mere thought of him being 4 in eight more months crushes me uncontrollably. Very soon, (August) he will be starting school. It is only 2 days a week...and although I know that it will be a wonderful experience for him, it breaks my heart. Soon, he will have friends - other than his cousins...but more importantly, other than ME. JR and I are literally his best friends and soon that will start to fade away...he will play t-ball, pee wee football, have sleep overs, and JR and I will slowly become just his "mom and dad". It has all gone by so fast, I wish it would slow down...just for a little while longer. So now I am in tears, bawling like a baby - and you guys probably think I am crazy....but just wait, it will happen to you too. Logically you will think you are being ridiculous, but emotionally you will be breaking in two...one half of you excited about the journey that still lies ahead and and the other half devasted by the idea that your baby is growing up and one day wont depend on you for every little thing in his life.

Geez Louis!!
OKay, so my little princess has been a little toad today....LOL. Apparently, she decided to give up a nap - without letting me know! I really haven't "scheduled" her naps...only her bedtime...but it is without fail that she is on a schedule none-the-less...WHICH IS PERFECT! However, today, she took her schedule, chewed it up and spit it out! She woke up at her regular time, but when it came time for her first nap she just cried and cried. After 5 minutes, I went in and rocked her (which I NEVER do), but she just laughed and laughed and laughed. I laid her back in her crib...she screamed for another 5 minutes, before I went in and patted her back...she just kept standing up! ughhh After fighting for 30 minutes I just decided to bring her downstairs. She had another bottle, and played and played and played. Logan actually played with her which was great. JR came home around noon and we were finally able to get her down for a nap. Whew! I dont know what is going on with her! When she woke up she was SCREAMING...this NEVER happens....she wouldn't let me bend her knees so I decided that it must be a gas problem. I gave her some mylicon drops and 10 minutes later she EXPLODED! LOL But, she was much happier. Anywho, she only took three naps today...I guess that is just a clue that she is getting closer to that 1 year mark..AHHHH! With everyday that passes I am so happy and so proud of my babies, but also realizing that they wont be babies for long and a sense of despair comes around knowing how much I will miss my babies being babies. I can only hope that I will teach them right from wrong, and install good values in them..I hope that they wont be embarassed to hug me in public when they are teens (although I know they will). I hope they remember to tell me they love me every day (although I know they wont). I have so many hopes and dreams for the two of them, and the idea of them growing up, both; enlightens and breaks my heart! Being a mother is probably the biggest mystery on Earth! All I can say is that in my eyes - they are the best kids in the entire world!
Logan is singing Twinkle, Twinkle little star...he tells me every day..."Loves you so much" he plays with his sister (except when she touches Buzz Lightyear or Lightning McQueen). My kids are amazing, who could ever ask for more?

Book report
OKay, I know I have already posted today, but I needed to say one more thing. I am almost finished with a book that I downloaded to my phone with my Kindle app...seriously the cookest thing ever....but anywho, the name of the book is Eternal Hunter. I wasn't so sure about how good a "free" book would be, but I am impressed. If I wasn't really sure before, I am 100% positive that I will be watching the Twilight saga..soon! I just put it on my queue for netflix. Anyway, the book is about Others...Shifters, vampires, demons, and I have NEVER really found any interest in stories, books, or movies that fit in this category, but this book is GOOD!...If it were a movie it would be rated R...or they would have to take out the sex scenes....because the sex in this book is vivid. LOL! It is definitely a recommendation, but I just want to tell anyone who reads it...be prepared - your spouse will thank you for reading it! hahaha
new phones
While my little sister was in town she ran a few errands. One of those errands was taking my mom's blackberry to the verizon store. Somehow, when she hit the tree the phone got screwed up...can't imagine how(sarcasm). Anyway, JR was looking at her phone...she has a Droid Eris...he seemed to really like it, but then he switched and started playing with Brandon's Droid..apparently it is the regular one. He seemed to like both of them....I was pretty much in lala land. I have never had the "it" phone or anything like that...I go for functional...all I need is for my phone to make and receive calls, and texts. JR bought an iPod Touch a few months ago, and we were planning on getting him an iPhone, but there were so many things that we weren't big fans of...INCLUDING THE BILL! He ended up jailbreaking the iPod so that it was easier to get free aps, and he enjoyed it for a while...in fact it was really great for Logan, we put a few movies on it so Logan could watch Toy Story and Cars anywhere we went. So Vanessa told us that Verizon had a sale on some of their Droids, and that the Eris was buy one get one free, plus a reduced price. JR played with her phone for about 3 hours straight before looking at me and saying he wanted to go to the store to get it. I said we could go to the store and look but not to get his hopes up....well, we ended up coming home with the Droids. LOL I dont think either of us have put our phones down since we got them. I have put so many apps on my phone, its insane. And better than anything they are all free! Hahaha....I am not excited that we have gone from paying $90 a month on TWO phones to now paying $160 on our phones, but JR is so happy that it makes it worth it. The man has been wanting a smart phone for a very long time now, So I am happy that he got something that he wanted so badly, and that I got one as well! We got a plan that shares 1700 minutes, but its free when I call anyone on the verizon network, plus anything after 9:00, and on the weekends...AND we got a top 10, so that anyone in those top 10 no matter what network are free. I checked today and I have used 2 minutes...hahaha I live this thing!

recovering
Ok, I feel as though I am finally starting to recover from having my sister and the kids at my house for so long..Logan is recovering as well, and I think he is happy to not be fighting Isaiah for his toys. I truly enjoy having my family so close and I love that Isaiah and Logan are so close in age that they can play, but four days is way too long. I mean it would be different if she brought them over four days in a row...but the constant morning to night was too much (for all of us). Logan wasn't able to get in a nap, because Isabella and Isaiah dont take naps, so we are talking about a very cranky boy! Even Landry's naps seemed to be cut short...My stress levels were through the roof. I kept telling myself to calm down and not stress, but it was too much. Every time my sister walked through the door, I swear my blood pressure spiked. I kept waiting for them to go home, but they never did and it was just grating on my nerves. I was short, and moody, and I just tried to keep my mouth shut because I knew whatever came out would NOT be nice. In fact, at one point she told me that I was rude and hateful, and sadly she was right..I had been rude and hateful all day. I was sick of her, sick of her kids...I needed to get ready for my guests that I had INVITED and my house was a wreck. Those kids have no discipline and absolutely no understanding of the word "no". I bought a 12 pack of Dr. pepper...they were gone in a day. I told the kids they could have ONE, and they would sneak in and grab another one. I would hear it open and get on to them and they just looked at me like I was the crazy one. Then Randi would get home and SLEEP. When I got on to her kids she would wake up and tell me to back off...I was like, ummm, I already told Isaiah that the bathroom was NOT for playing, and he just went in there, used half of my (Bath&Body Works) hand soap, AND used half a roll of toilet paper...I'm sorry, but I bought that stuff NOT her...tell your freaking kid NO. I went to the grocery store and took Logan with me...he picked out a Woody race car so I got it for him...as soon as we got home I opened it for him to play with because Isaiah had stashed all the toy stoy toys in a corner and was guarding them....telling him to share was like talking to a brick wall, as soon as I handed the new toy to Logan, Isaiah jumpe up, ran over, and grabbed the toy. Logan was hanging on for dear life...I told Isaiah to let it go - he wouldn't - Logan had had enough I guess, because he let go of the toy - and pushed Isaiah down hard. I jumped up - put Logan in time out and told him he wasn't allowed to push (even though Isaiah had been pushing Logan for days - I dont want my kid to be a sissy, but I would rather him use his words). He sat there, he apologized to Isaiah and to me...so sweet. I told Isaiah that he had to share and that the toy was Logan's so Logan was going to play with it... Randi wakes up and asks what is going on because Isaiah is crying or should I say FAKE crying..he goes to sit with her still WHINING - I tell her what happened and she says - WHY would you buy him a new toy? As I was trying to contain myself she starts hugging Isaiah and telling him that its okay, and that Logan and I are just mean and we dont know how to share! WHAT????? I couldn't believe it. Then at 9:30 we were all hanging out, Vanessa and her boyfriend were here and we were playing a card game...I was constantly telling the kids and RANDI to use their inside voices to not wake up Landry...and the woman actually said, "Oh My God, that is all you worry about....waking up that damn baby!" I looked at JR and Vanessa and I honestly didn't even know what to say...so I left the room and went out side, she didn't even realize that I was trying to get away from her so she came outside too...I just went right back inside...While she was outside smoking I told JR that I wanted her out of my house...ughhh! it was awful..I just wanted her gone and her kids too.

This week - geez
okay, so much has happened this week that I may have to just break this down into more than one post...
First, my mom was in a car wreck on Thursday. She completely totaled her truck. She was on her way to work and it was raining. Apparently she hydroplaned and started skidding, she said she tried to turn in to the skid, but it didn't work...she went across the road and slammed into an old oak tree...more like she wrapped her truck around the tree. The airbag hit her in the face causing her glasses to bruise her face and bust her nose. My dad said when he arrived her face was covered in blood. They still haven't found the glasses! LOL Her entire windshield caved in....it was a mess! They had to cut off her door in order to get her out. She broke her elbow, several ribs and punctured her spleen which caused internal bleeding. Her seatbelt cut so deep into the side of her neck that they contemplated stitches, but went with the glue! She was in the hospital for two nights before they released her. I saw her today...she says she feels better, but honestly she looks worse. Mainly just because the bruises have had more time to set it. Oh...she also broke 6 toes! Every thing on her is bruised...it is the weirdest thing ever...My dad said that after seeing the truck, he truly doesn't know how she is even alive. My dad isn't one to exaggerate, so although I haven't seen the truck...I believe him.
Now, my sister and her two kids stayed the night on Wed. because Randi had to be at work at 7 and needed me to watch the kids. Then my mom got in the wreck and they ended up staying Thursday night. My sister, Vanessa, and her boyfriend came down and stayed with us on Friday...oh and guess what - Randi decided to stay AGAIN too! She had to work from 7 until 2 pm on Saturday, but when she got back at 2:45..she stayed until 5:30 before FINALLY taking her kids and going to the river. She seriously couldn't understand why we didn't want to all go with her. Hello - I wanted her to get the hell OUT of my house and take her kids with her! My stress levels were above and beyond. Well, it looks like that is all I can say for now...the baby is crying! I will try to post more later or tomorrow!
