Crazy Days

Sorry I haven't posted in a couple of days. Life has just been crazy. I ended up in labor & delivery again two nites ago. I didn't get home until 4:30 am. I was getting contractions every 3 minutes or so. Luckily the contractions were non-productive, meaning they weren't dialating me or anything. I got an IV and some fluids. It took awhile but they eventually slowed down and I got sent home.

When I got home I was on an adrenaline kick. I couldn't sleep to save my life so I got some things done around the house and played around on facebook. It was an okay day motivation wise. I did take 2 one hour long cat naps yesterday which I needed.

I sent Nikolas and Alex to Danielle's yesterday. Erek had a poker dealing job downstate and with having gone to the hospital the nite before I just didn't feel comfortable having 3 small children here with Erek so far away. So far it's worked out good, Andrew was pretty bored all nite without his brother to play with.

I didn't get very much done yesterday. I know that I need to get this house in ship shape condition just encase this lil boy decides to make his appearance early. I did get most of the dining room done, I just need to mop the floor. I did play around in facebook for quite a while yesterday. I finally ended up going to sleep about 1:30 am.

I'm wired again this morning and hope to get a ton done today. I want to get at least finish the dining room, get the living room, kitchen, garage entry, 1/2 bath, and laundry room done today. If I can really kick it into high gear I'd like to get the basement stairway, playroom, family room and basement hallway done today too. Plus I need to get a bunch of laundry done. Well I'm uber motivated right now so I'm going to get busy! Toodles!

Very Productive Day

I had an awesome day yesterday! I was so productive and motivated. It was amazing. I got my morning routine out of the way quickly, straightened the master closet, cleaned the master bathroom, cleaned and straightened the master bedroom, and made dinner. My back was hurting like crazy but I pushed through it and continued working. The kids were pretty good for me with Erek being gone overnite...had a little problem getting them to bed but when I said bed they both got in bed and went to sleep. Then I relaxed and learned about some thunderstorms coming into the area so I went to sleep so I would sleep through it. It worked out well.

Today I woke up and didn't get anything done but play on Facebook. Then I took a little cat nap. Woke up late and high tailed it to my OB appointment. I worked on writing out my to-do list while waiting for the doc to come in. My appointment went great, Dr. Danz is an awesome doctor. I got scheduled for a 32 week ultrasound which will happen on Erek's birthday. I'm excited to get another ultrasound! It's to make sure that everything is okay with the baby after my history with Alex. I have invited my stepmom and aunt to join us for the ultrasound, and Grandma and Grandpa Jim are going to watch Nikolas and Alex while we're at the ultrasound.

Today I want to get the the entryway, dining room, living room, and kitchen. I also want to get a lot of laundry done...and make dinner. I do have bowling tonight which will be a blast without any pain meds. But I'll have to make due. Tonight is the fun nite for bowling. We get to play 9-pin no-tap and have the perfect attendance shoot out. I hope I win one this time. Well I'd better get busy so I have another productive day. Toodles!

Happy Birthday To Me!

Well yesterday was my birthday. All in all it was a good day, but I was severly unmotivated. I didn't do much of anything. My back was hurting so bad, especially last nite and I sat most of the day. I did call the ob office about getting more pain meds and they said no so I'm SOL for about 2 weeks. I will just have to learn to cope with the pain. 3 more months and this baby will be here...I hope I can make it that long.

I went birthday shopping for myself yesterday. I bought myself a Cricut Expression, the Jukebox, the Design Studio, and some new cartridges. I was going to work on scrapbooking my control journal last nite but realized I had typed up my control journal on my mac, which Nikolas took the keys off the keyboard. So instead I worked on typing up a new control journal so I can just read what I need to print on the cricut machine and go from there. I tried installing the Design Studio but everytime I go to open it, it says this program needs to close and it never opens. So I'm gonna have to call the cricut company and figure out what's going on with that or ask for a refund.

I am super motivated this morning. I hope to get the master closet, master bathroom, master bedroom, entryway and dining room done today. Ok the baby is done eating so I'm gonna get busy! Toodles!

Happy Easter

Yesterday was Easter. I got up and tried to get started but ended up back in bed and slept till noonish. When I did get up I got motivated and got most of my morning routine done. After I was ready, I got the kids dressed and ready to go to my grandparents for Easter dinner. We went to grandpa Jim's and had a very nice time. Grandma Barb always does a fabulous job cooking! When we got home I slug butted it all day long. I finally laid down in my bed and watched my shows and went to sleep.

Today is my birthday! I woke up and found that Nikolas had taken a whole row of keys off my keyboard! That little stinker has struck again. I yelled for Erek to get up and he didn't as usual. I hate the fact that I can't do anything to repremand Nikolas right now. I hate the fact that I have to resort to spanking but it's the only thing I can do with being pregnant, having a bad back, stairs to contend with. It's not like I can just keep putting him back in timeout. It would be the end of me physically. So this morning I went shopping for myself for my birthday. I bought myself the bigger Cricut machine, the Cricut software, and some new cartridges all for me! Anyway I'm starting to get motivated and the baby has fallen asleep without finishing his bottle so I'm going to get busy.

Today I want to focus on the upstairs and laundry and scrapbooking. I'll start in the office and then do the kid's bathroom, their bedrooms, the hallway and stairway and will alternate laundry in between each room. Hope everyone has a great day!

Crazy Days

Well I did it. With the help of Donielle (my mother's helper) this house looked great for the party. Everyone behaved themselves for the most part, except my grandma, she made one comment that urked me but other than that everything went perfectly. Andrew had a great party and really enjoyed his birthday.

We did have kind of a scare with the pregnant the nite before the party. I wasn't feeling any movement so I went to L&D and got hooked up to the monitors. His heartrate was strong and he started moving so that was a relief. I was getting some contractions while at the hospital. They checked my cervix and I'm not dialated at all which was a huge relief. I was told to go home and take a bath and take it easy. So I did just that...but I didn't sleep very well. Andrew joined us in bed and was grinding his teeth which kept me up. Then Nikolas joined us in bed and I had no room to sleep so I ended up getting up at 4:30 am. I got busy right away on the house, getting it cleaned for the party. I'm happy it went so well. Grandpa Jim and Grandma Barb saw the new house for the first time and loved it! They are very proud of Erek and I for moving and that feels so good to have the support of someone. After the party I laid down and took a nap because my back was hurting so bad. I ended up going to bed at like 9:30.

Today is not going as planned. I slept in a little bit and haven't gotten much done. I'm out of my pain med so I'm going thru withdrawls today which is probably what my problem is. I just really need to work on laundry today. Today is Easter so I need to get myself ready, the boys ready and be to my grandparents in an hour and a half. So I'm going to leave this post as it is and get busy! Toodles!

A Pretty Good Day

I started out strong! I got the front porch cleaned and the dining room cleaned and organized. Then I went to start on the living room and my back started hurting. By the end of the nite I was in urgent care because my back was out. They gave me some medicated patches to alleviate the pain and boy are they nice! I was pain free after about an hour of putting the patches on. My aunt came and took Alex for last nite and tonight. I already miss that lil boy. My mom stayed with the two older boys while I was at urgent care. Man is my mom is BITCH. She didn't say anything about the master bedroom or dining room being clean...just that she thought that with me having a nicer house I would take better care of my house. And that I don't need to be scrapbooking, I need to be cleaning...WTF! I have been working my tail off to get this house cleaned, unpacked and organized all she can be is negative. I'm about to tell my aunt that I'm done with my mom. That she can come to Andrew's birthday party but after that I'm done. I just don't need to listen to her bitch so much and be so negative! All I can do at this point is ignore her and let what she says go in one ear and out the other...but it's so difficult because she's my mom.

Now that my back isn't hurting I plan to get a ton done today. We are having that birthday party here tomorrow at 2 and I want to be proud of this house, not embarrassed by it's appearance. So I plan to focus on the living room, kitchen, garage entryway, 1/2 bath, and laundry room today. If I can get to the basement area that's great, if not people don't need to go down there. Anyway I'd better get busy! I'll leave it for now and post again tomorrow! Toodles!

A So-So Day

Well I started out strong yesterday and got the master bedroom cleaned and the entryway. Then my back started hurting and I laid down to help the back situation and I sputtered out. Erek got home yesterday afternoon and it was great to have him home. I did spend some quality time with him yesterday evening before bowling and that was nice.

Today I plan on working on the front porch, dining room, living room, kitchen, garage entryway, 1/2 bathroom, and laundry room. It's suppose to be a very nice day out today so if I get all of those done I'm going to work on the yard some...that's if my back will cooperate. I plan to scrapbook after the kids go to bed and while Erek is at work tonight. I'm making a control journal scrapbook and I want to get it finished so I can start using it! Anyway I'll leave it at that and I had best get busy! Toodles!
