Wow it seems like forever since I've been near my computer. I finally joined the workforce again and getting up and 4 am and working 9 hours on top of playing mommy to 4 busy kids has really worn me out. I am glad to finally be back to work and making some money though. It seems that I have found a good place to work, which is always a plus. It ( Read more... )

Since I am trying to find a new job I thought it was time to transition Marissa into her crib and Zachary into his "big boy" bed. I really thought it would be no big deal, but I was really wrong. I don't remember having any trouble getting the other two out of their cribs and into a bed, but Zachary was truly a challenge. I ended up sleeping ( Read more... )

I've been in a terrible state of mind lately that has caused me to neglect my LJ. I just wanted to let anyone still reading this thing that I am indeed alive, just not all that well. The past month has been really hard on my marriage which is, of course, affecting me emotionally. We found out in February that Paul's boss quit. That started a ( Read more... )

Today Joshua is 5. He is so excited that he is already up and eating breakfast. Most of his friends at preschool are 5 so this is a big deal for him. He has no idea that he will be getting his shots tomorrow for kindergarten. That I am not looking forward to. I got a phone call Sunday that has managed to piss me off for 2 days now and I am ( Read more... )

As if I don't already have enough crap going on I am having a D&C in a few hours. My midwife is pretty sure that I have retained some placenta, lucky me. I should only be down for about a day, but I'm not looking forward to it. I have to renew my car tags and driver's license before I go since I will be unable to do it tomorrow. That outta be ( Read more... )

Since hubby went back to work I've been giving the computer dirty looks from across the room and wishing I could get on for just a minute. In typical Paul fashion he spent his entire time home running the kids to school (which helped greatly) or on the computer (which didn't help at all). I find it a tad funny that when we talked about him being ( Read more... )

Allow me to introduce our newest family member Marissa Dawn Bennett:

Just a quickie to say that I'm still here with no induction date set. My regular midwife was at a birth so I got the new midwife that wasn't really familiar with my history. Hopefully next week when I see my regular midwife I'll get my induction date set. I just really want to avoid another tear and big baby. I'm still measuring a week ahead ( Read more... )

Even though the weather refuse to act like winter the boys all got their winter illnesses at the same time. I had three boys home with the flu all of last week. It really was a terrible sight to behold. Poor little Zachary wouldn't let me put him down for what seems like the whole week, but I'm sure it wasn't. The other two pretty much stayed ( Read more... )
