My princess

My Princess is sick and I am worried! She came home today from school with a 101 fever, a headache and her tummy hurt. For the last few months she has been going to the bathroom A LOT and drinking tons of water she is always thirsty. I had a parent/teacher conference a few days ago and even her teacher said to me gosh she uses the bathroom a lot and if I cannot find her I know where to look. A few weeks ago we went out and she went to bathroom like 6 times in 2hrs.

So back to today take her in and she has a UTI that is where the doc thinks the fever is coming from cause she is otherwise not sick. This is her first one so I think no problem then he says, but I would like you to take her to the children's hospital tomorrow for a few tests. He goes on further to say that her protein is really pretty high,and her white blood cell count is off enough that he is worried. We have a history of diabetes in the family so he says it could be diabetes or something might be happening with her kidneys or it could be off from the UTI. When I left though he said something that made me nervous he told me to make sure to watch her in case she got unresponsive or acting weird that I should take her immediately to the ER.

So now I sit here trying not to worry and telling myself it is only her UTI, but I cannot seem to shake this really weird feeling that something is not right. I just wanted to ask you all to send her prayers and good vibes to get better soon!

Kids, life and anyone in Houston?

Well well well how I ever got the impression that parenting would get easier the older they got is just CRAZY!!! lol Things have been nuts around my house with back talk and multiple other things to drive mommies crazy I am not sure if any of my kiddos will make it past 10yrs old!! So I have three parent teacher conferences this week, a job interview, walk to school day, another appoint, a bunch of friend's bday's and OMG what a week! Gosh and Halloween is coming and I have to search the garage for the decorations to make the kids happy. You know what though it is worth their smiling face's to get it done!

We went to the Natural History Museum today cause they opened back up and had a bunch of cool stuff going on! They have been closed all summer for fire renovations so we have been dying to be able to go! We had a great time making fossils, digging for fossils, listening to info about the Ice Age Mammals and being able to touch 30thousand yr old fossils!! We are such dorks!!!

I am going to Houston the weekend of my bday and I was curious if any of you guys in Houston would like to hang out while I am in the area!!?!?! If so send me a tell and we will get together!

Here is a pic of the kids in front of the new Sabertooth statue at the museum!(Mine are the three by the head)

P’s bday and other random thoughts!

P's bday has come and gone she is 7yrs old and I cannot figure out where the time has gone. I took cupcakes to her class as she requested and we had bagels for a snack after school. She got to pick dinner and she loved all her presents. She really is such an easy kid and I am blessed to have her and be her mommy!

We had a crazzzzyyyyy weekend although I cannot speak of it as yet. Working out has been well a bitch! I got a membership at the Y and I love it, but gosh I have to say that getting the motivation to go is well hard for me! I have really made a big difference in my lifestyle even with the little I have done, but could do soooooo much more!! I am surprised to find my body adjusting well to the changes except my feet they hurt like FRACKIN hell! I guess I need better shoes although I am really not sure what the deal is, my right foot hurts worse and I think I may be compensating for my left leg and ankle which I broke years ago.

It has been really interesting me trying to fit classes, studying, working out, seeing the kids, helping them with homework and the household chores all in lately I have to say I think I am doing well, but we all have our days! I got some fresh lemon basil from Shawn and Sharon today and I am marinating chicken with it lemon juice, honey, olive oil, pepper and garlic overnight. Tomorrow I am making lemon basil chicken, broccoli/cauliflower with cheese sauce and rice for dinner the kids are so excited! They love getting herbs from Shawn and Sharon's garden!

Marathon Kids!

I just wanted to toot my own horn for a sec! lol My kids have a program at school called Marathon kids that we have participated in the last 3yrs and today was kick off day! The kids will run a total of 26 miles throughout the school year. Two of those miles are included in the kick off day and the celebration at the end of the school year with the parents. We had a very successful mile jog/run per kid and I have to say that I am really proud of my kiddos!! Each one was able to run/jog the entire mile even Spunky it was so cool! Each grade runs by themselves the kinder-3rd runs with their parent, 4th & 5th run alone so we all had a good workout today! LOL

Here are a few pictures:

Love is like a booger, You keep picking at it until you get it, then wonder what to do with it.

Spunkmeister's birthday and a bit more!

So on to better things Spunkmeister's birthday was wonderful! It was of course just us family, but she was really happy with everything! She got a Tinkerbell outfit from dad(she is WAY into dress up clothes) and a bunch of other dress up stuff I don't think it could have been better as far as presents were concerned! lol

Her official birthday party will be in the second weekend in Sept and she is really excited. I cannot believe that she is already 5yrs old, I mean did I fall asleep during this period of time? Maybe it is because she is my youngest, but I cannot fathom that this much time has passed!
_________________________________________________________

School starts Monday and OMG I will have a Kinder, a first grader and a 5th grader! I just cannot seem to grasp that we are on the path to growing up! I was so excited last year that I had all out of the house and into school, now I am freaking out because they will all be in school full time this year! I have no idea what I want it's almost funny when your mommy brain and your rational brain are fighting!

Random thoughts at 2:45am

Late night blogging! So random thoughts cause I cannot sleep don't mind me I don't usually make sense. So school starts on Monday and I cannot tell you how excited I am, I almost feel like a bad parent I am so excited! Life is nuts, nuts I tell you nothing appears to be slowing down in fact things are getting worse someone plz tell me there is a light at the end of this tunnel!!! Birthdays birthdays all at once it seems this time of year you almost need a second job to keep up! lol

Anyone hear the new Ozzy song "Lay your world on me" if not it rocks! lol I told you I was random!! I really really need to be in bed and here I am writing a blog jeezzzz!

The boy had one of his good friends spend the night last night and OMG I don't understand my son! He is so antisocial I do not get why he spent a good portion of his time in front of the TV rather than playing with his friend! I am thinking as I type this that I should have turned off the TV, but at the time I was just so irritated. UGH this age is driving me nuts I have to tell you!!

School school UGH I hate school and yes I know that once I am done with this things will be better, but OMG it is killing me already! I think I may have ADD or maybe mommy brain idk, but whatever it is.................is not helping my over all life!

Well it is almost 3am and I am still not tired I have no idea what to do to make myself fall asleep I NEVER have this problem! I have a bunch to do tomorrow it is just sad.

Things that make you go hummmmmm

I am so defeated I truly am just so defeated! WTF I am seriously sitting here thinking WTF did you do? Why? Please tell me why you would do that too me? I don't understand how I deserve that! OMFG I am sooo freaking pissed right now I can hardly stand myself!!!! A bunch of lies all a bunch of lies! My stomach hurts I think I may be sick god this sucks!

WOOHOO the boy is home and a rant!

WOOHOO My baby is back!! The boy got home from Cam's yesterday and I am soooooo happy! He has been gone since June 3rd and let me tell you 2 months is way too fucking long to be without your kid! I guess I better get over it cause this is the way it will be every summer for awhile, thank god I only have to do this for 8 more years!

Ok and will someone explain to me why it is that his father cannot pay child support, but the boy can come home with brand new Michael Jordan tennis shoes, a build a bear, a bunch of new clothes(nice ones not walmart) and 20lbs heavier. I mean WTF did they never leave the house this summer and let him eat anything he wanted? I am glad he got to do cool things and eat what he wanted, but if I could only get a portion of that $ sent to me than we could maybe have half the same lifestyle! Ok I am just pissy, but god help me to understand how he can be 3+months behind on child support when he makes over $50,000 dollars a year. I am confused and not a happy camper.

OMG the child weighs 96lbs now and he is 2inches taller than he was when he left. He was standing to my shoulder, he is now above my shoulder and working on being taller than me at 10yrs old! lol

EDITED TO ADD! The subject title contains the word the rant meaning it is a rant and not necessarily the way I would normally feel(depends actually), but the point is that sometimes one needs to vent without others getting all pissy about it! I am not gonna hide behind a private profile just cause others cannot understand venting! If you do not like it don't read it! Thank you I needed to get that out!
