Well we finally got snow. A whole 2 inches that shut down the entire Northwest Ohio area. Of course with all the wind making the snow blow everywhere it looked worse than it was and the kids didn't have school, but it wasn't bad. The worst thing was that my phone and power went out at about 11am and stayed out almost all of Wednesday. I'm lucky ( Read more... )

I'm so ready for this little girl to come out. I know that it is still a tad early, but I feel like crap. I've been nesting like crap thinking that I need to keep the house spotless in case I go into labor in the middle of the night and some one has to come here to watch the kids. Like my family doesn't know that I have been feeling like crap ( Read more... )

Had another visit to the doctor (midwife) yesterday and I was given some funny information. I guess it isn't really funny, but with my history of having to force these kids out I laughed when she said that she thinks I may only make it another 2-3 weeks. It must be the boys being stubborn. I told her that I had contractions frequently this ( Read more... )

Another holiday season has passed and I am so grateful. We had Christmas dinner at our house, which went well. I hate the stress of having a big dinner at home, but love the fact that everyone comes here so we don't have to go anywhere. The boys got spoiled (again) and even baby girl got a few things. My mom made a beautiful baby blanket for ( Read more... )

Just rushing in to quickly wish you all a MERRY CHRISTMAS!! Paul is going to be home tomorrow so I finally have some help getting the house in order for dinner on Sunday, but I also will have to share the computer with him which usually means I don't get near it. I hope you all have a great weekend and are safe (those of you traveling) wherever ( Read more... )

Anyone on my flist have an iPod or something similar? Hubby said last week that he would like to get one to listen to at work while out on the golf course, but I know nothing about them. He just wants to be able to listen to music he likes, not the radio. With funds being limited I don't even really know where to begin. He just need something ( Read more... )

It was 5 degrees this morning with a wind chill of -10. I really hate winter. The snow is pretty at first then it gets all gray and nasty looking then it melts and leaves mud which gets tracked in the house causing more cleaning for me. I'm bitter today for some reason. I think it may be the headache that I'm trying to get rid of before it ( Read more... )

I am sooooo pissed that I can't think straight. In my last post I talked about the cutbacks at works and lay-offs, well this is all related. On Nov. 16 I was laid off, point blank. Then on the 17 I got a call saying that one of the 2 full time nurses decided not to take a reduction in hours and that I could get 12 hours a week. After talking to ( Read more... )

Once again my world has been spun on around. I found out Tuesday at work that the corporate office for the nursing home I work for told the director of nursing she had to cut nursing hours due to our lack of patients. Then I found out Wednesday I was being laid off effective Monday. Which freaked me out completely, but she said that I would be ( Read more... )

I truly had no idea I was gone for so long, but real life has been a bitch lately. I spent the entire month of October either in pain or so ill I could barely make it out of bed. I had the dental work done that I had been dreading and ended up with dry sockets both times which meant multiple trips to the dentist and more pain than I could handle ( Read more... )
