insanity

Soooooooooo...Jonathan is out of town today.


Which means I'm home. Alone. With three children.


Did I really voluntarily have three????


Toby's turning everything into a ball. I'd kick him outta the house if it weren't so wet & chilly!


Bristel's following me around whining. She hasn't had a cranky-free day in weeks!


Trevor's cuttin' a tooth & clumsy (he's banged his head at least five times already) & down-right monster-licious.


Ahhhhhhhhhh!


Maybe I should find the job after all!? And let J be Mr. Mom!

Nahhh...I can't see a man doing three kids alone. i know there are men out there that do, and I give them credit.

My husband doing this?? Ha, that's a good laugh. Just as much as I would hate doing his job, the kids would fire him if he had to do mine. We both agree that we fit the jobs we were assigned.

well...with one down (for a nap!) it's MUCH easier!

just a few more minutes and it'll be two down.

and then I'll convince Toby to rest too!

Hubby and I both have full time jobs. Actually, including motherhood I have two...hubby could do the first, the second...no way!!! He is alone with my two girls every Friday and when I get home at 4:45, it's like the whole house goes, oh finally.....mom's home!! But the funny thing is, he claims they behave like angels for him so I don't know what his and their deal is!! lol

It's days like these that make me wish I was still at CapOne climbing the corp ladder! lol

Funny thing is...Jonathan is the same way...it's like a breeze to care for the kids. Of course I usually find... Toby's on the playstation all day... Bristel's up to her elbows in m&m's...and Trevy's in his pack & play with a juice box!

The diff between guys & girls! lol

the naps were great...but not long enough! *grin*

BUT...the hubster came home mid-bath & rescued me! Yeah!

Now I need my heating pad warming my back (it's my nightly ritual) and the remote!

so I totally missed your blgo yesterday... a little thing called work got in the way!

Glad J is back. My hubby can barely handle one or two of them alone... NEVER three!

YAY for naps! Can I have one now? Yes I realize I have only been up for 2 hours, but I am ready to go back to bed :)

Guess I should go blog on my site!

I cried when I got the news

I felt like such a heel not going with Trevy for his first post hemi EEG. Yeeeeeees...Jonathan went with him. Yeeeeeees...he's just as good as me. But still! He's my baby! I was instead sitting on floor 6 east waiting for Neurology to get their boots here and help me sort out this medicine mess! Seriously it's like a bad joke...how many Neurologists does it take to write a bloody script? And fax prior authorizations? Cause Trevy's been back for hours now. And I'm STILL waiting! Anyway... Jonathan had just stepped out to meet the pizza delivery guy when Dr. EEG made his rounds. Of course I asked immediately if he had read the EEG. Of course he had. That's why he was there afterall. And I cried when he told me... that for the first time in almost two years. For the first time since this whole crazy mess began. my baby's EEG is completely normal! Side Note: It's super fun to sob in front of Japanese men and watch them squirm When I kept repeati...

I sure hope...

they grow back curly! Saw the "unknown" flashing on the face of my cell phone and knew who it was. Who it had to be. Dr. Fellow. My eyes met Grams' and I nodded. Grams has a pool, see. For super hot days like today. We're also having a septic installed. Which meant no water or facilities at my place. But those weren't really the reasons I was there. Close to mom. The purple ringing thing in my hand was. Only I wasn't prepared for it to be ringing SO darn soon. Shortly after lunch instead of dinner! I swallowed. Took a deep breath. And clicked connect. Dr. Fellow has a very nice phone tone. Clear. Hint of compassion. If only a stitch of humor were added...it'd be heavenly. But there was no humor. Just business. He's very direct. I'm learning that about him. Which explains his short hello. Followed by immediately pushing into the news. Being that it was a unanimous consensus. The entire surgical committee feels Trevor is a good candidate. And then p...

it's like being asked to the prom...

only MUCH MUCH bigger! I had noticed (yes...I stalk my site meter!) that a government ISP had logged onto Trevor's blog. Whoever it was had spent a good deal of time hanging out too. Followed a few minutes later by a government ISP...hailing from Washington. As in DC! My eyebrow raised. It was just kinda odd. Note-able odd. You know? Anyway...later that day (last week) I was folding laundry & thinking my crazy insane thoughts. Along these lines... I hope I'm not saying anything I shouldn't! Maybe I made somebody mad? Wait a minute! I live in America! I'm allowed to say anything I want! Aren't I???? A shout from the other room interrupted my thoughts before I had a chance to further mull. It was Jonathan. I had just received an email. **Side note...he's always doing that! Reading my emails! Sheesh!*** The said email was from a US Senator's aide! Asking if he could speak with me. Little ole' hardly has time to splash some make-up on ...
