the best

I have a babysitter/nanny come every Tuesday to watch the kids. I LOVE HER!!! She does my laundry. She cleans my floors. She does my dishes. She watches my crazy kids. AND today she made a sour cream coffee cake that I started yesterday but didn't have time to finish. (AKA got butter out and that was it...:)

Uppers and lowers

Well, LC has to get an upper GI. She has acid reflux and is having problems breathing after she eats due to the reflux. The Upper GI will see if there is anything else going on that is causing the problem. Hoopefully we will have some answers. I am wondering if there is something that I am eating.

I am at my wits end with BAB. She is sooooo loud and whiny. She never stops talking. She tries to boss EVERYBODY around. Including me. She acts like she is LM's mother and tells her everything to do. Yes, she is the oldest. But this is seriously out of control. And if she throws one more fit today I am going to make her stay in her room for the rest of the day. I am so sick of this stage....... May it end FAST!

Sloppy Joe...kinda

I put 2 recipes together to make this. It turned out really good. I am by no means an excellent cook. However, I do make a good supper when I feel like it!

Pizza Sloppy joes
2 lbs. ground beef
1 lb sausage
2 cups swiss cheese shredded
pizza sauce (enough to make sloppy!)

Opt. pizza mix in's- mushrooms, green peppers, onions, etc

Cook the sausage and gr beef together. Drain. Add mix in's and sauce. Add the cheese is last minute. I also froze some in my family size portions. It worked out well! Enjoy!

Aaaaaaaalllllll by my seeeeeeelf.....

Ok that was lame.... I don't even know who sings that.... Ok I just googled it. Eric Carmen. Never heard of him. Interesting...

So if you haven't guessed yet, Pilot is gone for the weekend. So I am, as stated before, all by myself. I think I will be ok. So far not to bad. LC takes a pretty good nap in the morning. Then she will prolly wake up when I am trying to get the gets lunch of course! But we will have to work ourselves into a groove.

I have loaded the dishwasher and started it, vacuumed, and started a batch of chocolate chip cookies. The kids are dressed and fed. I am contemplating on weather to get the fall clothes out. The kids need the next size for sure. LM's little belly is starting to stick out! I am going to have to find some pants that fit BAB. Her 2t pants fit length wise, but are to tight in the waist. Maybe I will have to invest in a good seamstress.

The girls are doing pretty good with LC. LM wants to hold her all the time and BAB wants to mother her. So I have to hold them off with a stick. Both are jealous and want me to hold them too. Which is quite hard.

I still want to can a bunch of stuff this year if I can. I want some more tomatoes. Thanks to my friend Taiya I have some already! She was nice enough to can some for me! So even if I don't have time to do more I have a few. I would like to do some applesauce, peaches, and freeze some corn. I think corn season around here is almost done though. I might be to late. Oh well, I got a baby instead and that is worth it!

So Sheila puked yesterday. Pilot was so kind as to clean it for me. However, he used a concentrated cleaner on the carpet. It stinks. Sigh.... I have a bottle all set up for use. I have all the windows open trying to get the smell out. UGH!

You guessed it

I had the baby!!! HAHA... Little Cutie was not bigger then LM as it turned out. LM was 7lbs. 7oz. and LC was 7lbs 8oz. both 20 inches long! HAHA!! Long story short I was suppposed to have a c section at noon and went into labor at 1:30 in the morning. Hard contractions 2 then 1 minute apart. They wouldn't do the c section at 2:30 in the morning when I got there and so I had to wait until 11:15 when they finally took pity on me and did it. They did gave me something to stop the contractions but it really didn't work. It kinda did but not really. It stopped them for about a half hour, but then they came back. But all was well.

Coming up

My C Section is next Monday!!!! So excited. I think this baby is going to fall right on out. I am pretty sure she is going to be bigger then LM was. Glad this one is a C Section for sure. It takes the waiting out of the picture. Although I get a lot of funny looks when I tell them that I am having my baby a certain day. Then I have to explain that it is a c section and blah blah blah....Whatever...

I am up in the middle of the night because Pilot decided not to go to bed when I did. Which is fine. But then is loud and wakes me up before he goes to bed. Then I have to go to the bathroom. Then Sheila decides that she is going to whine at my bedside because she needs to go outside which Pilot has oh so nicely already went to sleep. So I have to get up and let the dog out. Then wait. While I am waiting BAB starts crying and comes out of the bedroom..... for no reason but to cry. Sent her back to bed. Then I got hungry so I made a snack. Maybe an hour later I will get back to sleep. UGH. I better get used it though. Pretty soon I will be up with night feedings. Hopefully more sleeping during the day will occur then.

Busy busy busy

I am trying to get as much stuff done as I can before the baby is born. Although I have stopped doing a lot of walking stuff. Like zoos and shopping....:( But I am still busy! I have doctors appt., visiting with friends, open houses, family reunions, and just plain craziness! But I am glad because it passes the time so well.

Also I am so very proud of myself for not going to fast food the last couple of nights. I have just not wanted to do anything, but I made myself get something around for dinner both nights. Tonight was chedder brats, fried potatoes, and broccoli. HAHA. At least it was edible! And it had a veggie!

Pilot has been gone since Thursday and will not be back until Wednesday. It is going to be a loooooong week! But I am prepared. I even have somebody coming over on Tuesday to watch the kids while I get out. And then on the last day somebody is coming out to make jam with me. OK, well she is going to make jam and I am going to watch.....heehee. AND then, Pilot is going to take the girls camping Thurs.-Sunday. WAHOO!!!! It is just about an hour away. His family always goes there every year. I am not interested at all. I hate it every year. All they do is ride bikes and its usually boring. Now that I have the kids I get stuck with them all the time because he is out riding bikes. So I said no camping for me! HAHA! I might go out a day like I did the last couple of times. That isn't so bad. I can leave when I want to. Maybe I will kidnap...uh... I mean snag one of the sister in laws. :)
