Long Time No Blog!

Well, it's been quite a while since I have blogged. Not really much going on here. Alot has happened since last blog. Macy spent 3 days at Childrens on EEG. Nothing found. Very disappointing. Now the neurologists will not see her again.
Jade had scarlet fever.
Macy had a birthday (can't remember if i blogged about that or not.)
I'm out of school this semester. Waiting on the magic acceptance letter from college about nursing school. So ready to have that behind me.
People have had babies. Not me. I miss mine being babies.
Allen lost his job. That sucked. Alot.
Macy is getting over strep throat. She is also starting to talk more. She is a funny little girl.
Jade started first grade. She likes it. Alot. But she doesn't like to do the work.
I took the girls and Allen to the pumpkin patch last week. It was alot of fun! Got some good pictures of the girls. They are so stinking cute. Jade got stung by a bee when we were there. But it didn't ruin anyones fun. She still had a blast.
That's about the run down for now. I'm beat and it's definately bed time!!

I'm going to try to be better about blogging more often! And include some pictures next time!

Not Me Monday!

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by Mckmama at www.mycharmingkids.net (I cant' get the tag to work right.. anyone know how to make it work?)

This week I did not study for my anatomy final. And i most certainly did not put it off until the weekend where I did not have to take my youngest daughter to the hospital. I did not have to wake her up to go, and I did not forget her shoes. She most certainly was not wearing a tshirt and panties over a diaper into the hospital at 9 on a Sunday night! Then, i did not let her walk around on grubby hospital floors. After all, she might get swine flu. I most certainly did not bring her home only to wash her off with baby wipes and put her back in bed after a long night.

And I did not open up my psychology final today only to find out that she added another chapter to it that i did not study for (no really I didn't study for it!!). I did not just make semi educated guesses and cross my fingers and hope I got the right answers!

Tomorrow is not my last final for the semester, and I am not at all excited that it will be OVER for this semester after 12 tomorrow! (GRIN!)

Go check out what everyone else is not doing over at Mckmama's blog!

Updates on Everything...

Jade FINALLY got TUBES, and her adnoids out. We went in Wednesday morning at 7:45 (we weren't really supposed to be there til 8:30)... They went ahead and took us back. And we waited, and waited, and waited some more. There was a play room there for the kids (thank goodness) and little cars and wagons for them to ride the halls with. Macy picked out a nice little car, and decided the ONLY way to go was backwards.. and in a circle.. well, There are nurses LINING the halls with little rolling trays with computers on them and nurses and drs trying to get in and out of rooms and patients being taken to and back from surgery. So, I am trying to contain Macy and keep her from running someone over.. She would go forward a second and I would think I was ok and all the sudden BAM there goes me toe.. she decided backwards was the only way to go... BUt anyways back to Jade.. they finally took her back to surgery around 10 or so.. about 25 min later the dr comes out and tells us Jade did great and her adnoids were really swollen before he cut them out.. and that Jade would be back to the room in "just a minute". Well, I wait, and I wait, and 20 min later the nurse comes and gets her bed so she can bring jade back. And I wait and I wait and another 25 min goes by and I am getting panicky... Well, they FINALLY bring Jade back and come to find out, when she woke up she had Croup. So they gaver her a breathing treatment before they would let her leave recovery. Really nice of them to let me know huh? They are lucky I didnt' go busting back there to find my baby! Well, once she got back to the room and sipped a little sprite and took about 4 licks of her popcicle, they let her go home. We were back home by 1!! She was a grumpy grumpy girl for quite a while. but she was up and playing a few hours later. She is up and at em. Still complains of sore throat but that will pass I'm sure in the next day or 2.
As far as everything else, I think we are on the way to recovery and something else happens. Macy has started having shuddering spells again along with some really weird symptoms. Exactly a week ago, we had been playing outside, and everything was great! It was nice outside and so I was letting them play in the water.. I start to notice macy's little face and body getting extremely red... so I went and checked her. Her skin was EXTREMELY hot to the touch.. so I call time to go in and we go inside. I stripped her down to her diaper and gave her some juice. I cooked dinner, and she ate, and then it was bathtime(about an hour after we came in). She was STILL hot to the touch. So after her bath, i was trying to dry her off and talking to Jade and all the sudden I hear macy's teeth slam together (almost like chattering teeth but not really) I look at her, and she is not breathing and she is shaking (like shivering but ALOT harder). It lasts about 30 seconds, and it's gone just as quickly as it came. Well, I watch her for a little while, and then I put her to bed thinking it was just another shuddering spell.. Just a worse one.. That night, she had 5 more shuddering spells. Each one woke her up.. and when she woke up she was crying a cry that did not belong to my baby.. it was very weak and sounded very wrong. When I would go to pick her up, she was VERY confused... like she didnt' know where she was and was very hard to calm down. I also noticed that she was having a hard time getting her bottle to her mouth.. She had just learned to put her shoes on about 3 weeks ago. The morning after her spells, she could no longer put her shoes on and had alot of coordination issues. She dropped things and had a hard time with things she was good at. She fell down alot.. thing just were not right. So I called the dr. They told me to call on Monday morning and bring her in. Well, I call monday morning and they tell me the first appt I can get is Wed. Crap. Thats the day of Jade's surgery.. wont' work. So i get an appt for Friday. I make it. Then, Crap. Thats the day of my math final. I can't make it in time. So I called back and switched it. Her appt is this Wed. But, now all her symptoms are going away. She is still VERY sensitive to heat. She doesnt' handle it well, and DOES. NOT. SWEAT. She gets extremely hot to the touch and it takes her forever to cool down. She gets hot like that at times when she shouldn't really be that hot. we played outside in the shade with the wind blowing a couple days ago and it was quite cool outside. We were out about 20 min and when we came back inside, guess what.. hot to the touch... really hot. i check Jade, nothing.. she was still just fine..So, we had popcicles.
Does this EVER end? We have been dealing with sickness since December!! If it's not one thing it's another! We can't get rid of stuff. It's been ears with jade since then, and Macy has had ears and a cough since then. And when we finally changed drs, guess what.. RESULTS! :) We got over the battles we had been fighting for 5 months and now it's on to something new I guess.
Well, thats about it for now. Hopefully we will have good news with mace at the dr on Wed. I will post some new pics soon.. After my camera gets charged and I have time to upload pictures.
OH... I had my math final today... I MADE AN 87.50!!! AND an 86 in the class for the semester!! THAT IS HUGE!! I am math dummy... I worked my butt off for that B!! I have been so excited! it was a hard earned B.. especially since I am SO BAD at math!
OK ok.. I'm really off for the night. I'm beat. Been a long day!!
Until next time...

Happy Anniversary Baby!

Today is a very very special day!! Mine and Allen's 1 year anniversary!! The last year has been one of the best!

I know that there is nothing I can say that will do him justice, but I can try.

I am so glad you are in my life. You are the most handsome, amazing person ever!

You are the love of my life... my soulmate... my best friend!!

You can always make me laugh.. even if it's forced :)

You are so good with my children. You love my children.. and you have no idea how much that means to me! There are not many men that would treat my kids as well as you have. Men like you are rare, and I am so glad that I have found you.

I cannot imagine myself with anyone else. You are the one I can see myself growing old with.

I love you more than you know.

You seem to get me.. or at least try your hardest.

You eat my cooking! :) haha!

You listen to me when no one else will. I know I get long winded and freak out easily about stuff sometimes, but you are so good to just listen.

If I am having a bad day, you always seem to know what to say to make it better.. I always feel better after talking to you...

You have a smile that just melts my heart. It's the most amazing smile ever!

You are patient.. :) (to an extent :) ) You dont' fuss when we can't go out. Which i wish we could do more often, I love every moment I get to spend with you.. whether it's at the house with kids or out by ourselves...

You give the best hugs in the world :) and I love cuddlIing up with you!

And you know what i like best?

YOU LOVE ME TOO :)

Sweetheart, I can't wait to see what the future holds for us.. but I am so glad you are around and I'm so glad most of all that you are mine!!

I know I can't do much of anything else for our anniversary, but hey, thats why i'm in school.. to make us the big bucks here in a couple years :) But, I do what you to know that you are loved so very much by me!! You are absolutely amazing, and I am so in love with you! :)

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY SWEETHEART! 1 year and counting...

Busy Busy!!

As I sit here amongst my mountain of homework and studying, I decided I should take a break and update my blog!! I just finished one final!! My first aid class is officially over as of TOMORROW morning as soon as I take my first aid test and turn in my final!! That means only 4 more finals(psychology, bio 202 final, bio 202 lab final, and math) to go!!!! I can't wait!! I can finally see the end of the semester!! It's so close I can almost taste it and can almost feel the sun on my face and the sand beneath my toes!!



Jade is having surgery next Wed, April 29!!! She is having tubes put in her ears and her adnoids taken out!! We are so ready for this... she has been so sick for so long and needs this so badly!! Hopefully this will be the end to all or most of the sickness!! Please keep her in your prayers!!
I went to pick her up yesterday from her Mama Shirleys after school since I couldn't make it in time to pick her up from school myself, and to my suprise when i picked her up she had gained a new piece of clothing. I should have taken a picture! She looked absolutely ridiculous, but i was so embarrassed I didn't think to take a picture! I had dressed her yesterday morning in her chocolate brown Hannah Montanna shirt with some black leggings. When I picked her up at Mama Shirley's she had a BRIGHT red spaghetti strap tank top on over her shirt I had put on her this morning! Of course I asked her why she did that and if her Nana let her leave the house dressed like that to which I was informed she took it to school in her back pack and had put the shirt on there over her other one! So i guess now I will have to start checking her backpack before school! I can't believe she walked around school like that all day yesterday and NO ONE bothered to tell her she looked absolutely ridiculous! What a funny girl!



Macy is such a funny little girl lately. Her favorite words this week are "Beee Peesh!" (read please) She loves being read to. She is learning her colors. She likes "Wewwow" and "puhpuh" (yellow and purple) the best. Everything is yellow and purple to her!! She has been extremely whiny this week, I think because of her ears.. I'm thinking another doctor visit will happen by Monday. she will be done with her antibiotic on Friday and if it's not better by then we will be back at the doctors office I have a feeling! she is so much fun lately though.. always doing something new, mimicking us. She is such a joy to be around.



This past weekend, my best friend Stephanie and her boyfriend Ryan came to see me and the girls! I had an absolute blast and am so glad she got to come down! I have missed her so much and Jade has missed her Aunt Stephanie as well! I so wished we lived closer so that we could spend more time together like we used to. I'm SO GLAD i got to see her this weekend!

Well, I'm off here for now.. check back tomorrow for a new post! Tomorrow is a special day!!
