Easter 2009

Fun was had by all. We went to my mom and dad's house for Easter lunch. YUMMO! Then we had a Easter egg hunt for the little ones and the little one's at heart. Fun was had by all. At 6pm after consistently getting on BAB's case for one thing or another we packed up went home. I had enough. I got the kids in the house. (By myself of course because Pilot was flying) Pj's on and ready for bed. They were in their Easter coma as soon as their head shit the pillow. However I am paying for it today since after said Easter coma neither one has taken a nap. *sigh*

The Gate

I have started to put a gate up to keep BAB in her room at night. She has started coming out in the middle of the night and playing with her toys. Real sneaky of course. However her toys make noise. About time all those loud and annoying toys paid off! I am most worried that she will just let her self out. And yes I have tried locking the doors. She knows how to unlock them. She has decided to go outside on a handful of occasions. So we had to bring out the gate.

Randomness

I have been so busy lately! Haven't had time for the blog. But the kids are sleeping and I have a few minutes. WOOT!

I have 4 more months until little baby girl is born. I am FREAKING OUT!!!!!! Ok, so no really that bad. It just kinda hit me the other day! Everything is basically ready. I only have to get the dresser and crib ready. I basically have everything else.

I am going to a couple of shopping centers next weekend! WOOT! I am going with a friend and we are going sans kids and husband. I am sooooooo excited. I can hardly wait. There is a cutsie little strip of stores and then a BIG christmas store. Then in the next city over there is a GINORMOUS outlet mall. EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A friend came over the other day and helped me make some letters to stick on the wall. They are
my kids' names. It's wood letters with scrapbook paper glued on top. Easy and fun. LOVE IT!!!! I need to go and buy some letters for the new baby. But I'll have to hide it in my super secret spot because it is a secret. I really don't know why..... That was Pilot's decision. I already told people anyways. Whatever.

I have tulips, daffs, and hydrangeas coming up!!!!! I need to buy some crocuses this fall and plant those so they can come up next spring. My cedum is starting to grow too. I think I have some irises that are coming out as well. I LOVE SPRING!!!!!!!

I have carpenter ants in my kitchen. They are driving me nuts. I went on a rampage yestreday and killed about 30 of the suckers. I think I made a dent. I need to buy something to get rid of them but I don't want toxic chemicals in the house because of the little ones. BAH!

Because Pilot is gone a lot I get stuck.....er.....I mean, am able to entertain his out of town family while he is gone. This is not fun for me. Some family is ok, but some are not. We will leave it at that.

BAB is driving me nuts. She 2 going on 13. I can hopefully get her into a program for preschool this fall. She is going to be turning 3 in the summer. Some programs have a 3 year old program. She really needs it. This putting her personality in the best possible way- She is a born leader that is going to be a good boss some day. That is what I tell people. You can read into that how ever you would like.

missing dog

I saw a dog yesterday that reminded me of my old dog, Sammy. I have been thinking alot about her since then. I miss her so much. I know that if you are not an animal person you probably don't understand. And that is ok. She was my friend. She was always there for me. Through thick and thin. My confidant and my security. *sigh*

Oh what a morning

LM decided to keep me up all night for no reason. She woke up fussing ALL night! I got up with her gave her a drink and motrin. I had a cold and thought maybe she got it. I sat up with her a while and finally put her back down. I slept in a little unexpectedly. When I woke up BAB had taken all the clothes out of her dresser. AND everything on top of the dresser. She had broke a wicker basket we keep toys in because she had turned it upside down to stand on it. I was HOT! I am glad that she was not hurt, or the dresser did not fall on her, or that she didn't come out and get into worse trouble. Although I know I would have heard her if she had actually came out. She was being sneaky and quiet in her room. So needless to say how do you punish a 2 year old for taking all the clothes out of her dresser? GRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!

I am eating cheetos and coke already this morning and it is only 9:30. It is going to be a day!

the time is drawing near

LP's next hearing is coming up soon. The social worker said that he was going to be petitioning the court to have her placed back with biomom. I have very mixed feelings about this. I have talked to the biomom a little here and there. I drop her off at her place and pick her up. She comes to doctor's appointments with me and the such. I know that she loves LP and I believe that she has gotten her life together. My fear is for the future. Weather she can keep this up and not turn back to her old life. I love LP very much. She is almost a year old. I have had her for so long. It's just very sad.
I have thought that I should start packing her up so I don't have a crazy day trying to get all her stuff around at the last minute. Then when I get up to do it I suddenly find myself exhausted. I just can't seem to do it.

Nice weather

It is so nice out today! Why am I inside?!?!?!?! Well the kids are napping and I just got up from a nap. I suppose that is excuse enough. I had to go into town to get a prescription so I stopped at McDonald's to get lunch. I brought it home and fed the kids. Put them down for a nap. They are on hour 3. Hmmmmm coincidence? Not sure.

I took a walk yesterday. That was crazy. 35 lb of BAB + 25 lb of LM + ? lb of stroller +muddy hily roads = out of breath pregnant mom 2 feet down the drive way. Shut up. Its been a long winter. I haven't got out much....
