Sore Throat

I woke to a sore throat this morning and gosh does it hurt. I wish I could take something for it other than tylenol. I did have some orange juice and some chicken noodle soup and feel a bit better. I also had a morning nap. But now I feel like I need an afternoon nap. I really hope I am feeling better by saturday. I will need to feel better by then so we can get our moving done.

Me and Kaylee made a trip to Walmart so we could get a few things and some soup. Looked through the housewares again and priced some things. Looked at toaster ovens and microwaves and refills for the foodsaver, which I passed on buying right now because the one I bought came with a roll of bags but I know I will need to buy some soon.

Mikey told me yesterday he made a 81 on his math test and it was a really big test. I'm so proud of him. Plus last weeks spelling test he made a 95, only missed one work. Lexi made a 95 on her math test. I'm so glad they are doing so well at school.

Oh and I decided to make the announcement to Lexi about the baby, she was excited and grossed out, lol. I just needed her to know so she knows that she will have to help out moving on saturday. Lots to do and ready to do it.

Funny How

It's funny how things happen. Being pregnant was something I had put out of my mind, now a few months back we were "trying", it didn't happen and I was fine with it. I had put it out of my mind, along with weird cycles I didn't think I would get pregnant. And I was finally coming to terms with only having three children. I think it has all come down to stress. Stress of our current living situation, stress from work, etc... Before moving in with the inlaws my cycle was regular and lasted 5-7 days, came ontime every month. Caught some stress from a certain person and I think that helped my cycle by not coming. So now that stress is becoming relived, I think it straightened things out.

I feel strange that I'm pregnant. I feel happy and a little sad. When I got pregnant with Lexi I was so happy, it was a wonderful 9 months. It was great having a baby, she was a great baby too, slept through the night and was my little best friend. Then after a while we wanted another baby and I got pregnant with Mikey, after he was born I remember feeling so happy but also so horrible that I took something away from Lexi. It was strange having a new little life to take care of, plus my almost 2 year old. She was happy with having a baby brother and I don't know why I had those silly thoughts that she would hate me because I had a sibling for her. Fast forward to when Kaylee was born and again I had the same feelings I had after I gave birth to Mikey. I felt like I took something away from my other two children when I gave birth to Kaylee. I don't know why I had those feelings and I really don't look forward to it again.

Like I said before I was beginning to be happy that we only had 3 children, don't take it wrong, I do want another baby and I do have one on the way. But when I gave up I had finally decided that I would be working full time in August when all the kids go to school. We would have more money and more family time together. I guess I can still try to achieve that but it will involve daycare and so long as its affordable I may choose that route or have to wait a few years. Either way I will be fine with it, I'm looking forward to which ever outcome comes my way.

And yes I'm excited #4 will be joining our family and I know everyone is happy for us.

So other than having major indigestion already, I've started having vivid dreams already. Last night I dreamt that I had twins or at least I was taking care of my sisters twins, it was a really cute dream. And no I DO NOT want twins!!! Only one please although I know its possible but I would really rather it didn't happen. That would be really crazy.

Getting closer

Well we are getting closer to moving day. I'm so ready, I bought a few things today, few cleaning products, a mop, a swiffer mop to be exact, a twenty four pack of glass glasses, a key ring hook. And I ordered our dining table set, to which my mom in law paid for, so nice of her. That frees up extra money for other things and maybe a couch.

I really didn't do much other than that. I did get some tums for my indigestion.

Shock!!

Well today was a wonderful day off. I woke early and left out around 8:30am to go visit my mom and dad. It was a great visit. I hadn't seen my mom or dad since Kaylee's birthday party about a month ago. The kids played and ran out some energy. On the way home we stopped by or rather drove by the kids new school. Looks pretty nice and neighborhood is nice too. We got home and Mike wasn't going to be home for a bit so we decided to go to Sonic and grab some lunch. It was good, just what we all needed.

After being home for a bit Mike got home and we headed out to traders village to look for furniture. We found a few things but I think I'm going to go with a dining set from walmart, it has all the chairs we need, perfect size for the 5 of us. After traders village we came home and I went to the grocery store, picked up a few things and some fried chicken for Mike. Then again we left out to Fry's electonics so Mike could pick up a dvd tv series. Afterward we went through big lots to look at furniture, I really like a couch and loveseat from there but I don't know if it will be in our budget. Now were home relaxing and I'm about to go to bed I'm worn out.

Oh and I found out I'm pregnant!!!!!! I can't believe it, only 5 tests later to prove it to myself. Even the digital test said Pregnant. So I guess it will be new home, new baby!!! Guess I better get busy and set up a dr's appointment. And it was total shock!!!

Updates

Lots to update............
I had my dentist appointment and it was ok but horrible. So evidently I have periodontal disease and need a deep cleaning, its going to cost $1300.00, then I would need to go back to get a few teeth pulled, mainly wisdom teeth and then some fillings. Ugh, so much money. It will have to wait though, as soon as we get moved I will apply for some insurance for us.

So this past saturday we visited the apartments and were able to view one. It ended up not being the one we had wanted to look at but it all worked out. The first one ended up having had a flood so it wasn't ready to be seen and that told me it wasn't the one for us. So we viewed one and we loved it. 1286 sq. ft., three bedroom 2 full bath. I can't wait. We move on the 26th, we have just a little over a week now. This week has been filled with lots of packing and organizing and some shopping. So we did that saturday and then Sunday I went to work, Monday Kaylee was sick and we took her to care now, they are treating her for strep and the flu, I'm more than sure its not the flu but just a cold and maybe strep. Tuesday was filled with more packing and Kaylee being sick. Wednesday morning Kaylee woke with fever and then after a while it was gone and has been since. I'm so glad she is feeling better. I just wish her cough would go away, she sounds like a dog barking or a seal.

I worked 7 days straight and I'm so glad today is my day off, I was so tired. I'm still tired, I did alot today, I really should have just rested. Tomorrow is going to be busy too, I have to pay bills, take the car for an oil change, take Kaylee to school and take the car to get the tires rotated and possibly go and get my registration sticker. Today I did some packing and I am running out of room. I'm ready to move and get everything moved in and situated. Excited.

Dentist

Sitting here at the dentist, waiting to be seen. Just full mouth xrays and a cleaning and a list and pricing on everything that needs to be done. Im sure its not going to be a pretty number. Im sure its going to be very, very expensive.

Im hoping I get called back soon, I have to pick up Kaylee at noon. Scary.

Well rested Mommy

Well this morning I took the kids to school and after getting back home I crawled back into bed. I was so tired. So off to sleep I went. Kaylee woke me a 9, she wanted breakfast. So I got her breakfast and then ended up going back to sleep and didn't wake until 11:15, I contemplated if I should go back to sleep or get up, I got up. Took my shower and have had lunch. Ready to face the day.

Kaylee is such a good girl! She plays so good by herself, she will find a way to keep herself entertained all the time. I think she is ready to go back to school, she hasn't been in 2 weeks. She was sick Friday before last and then last week we had nothing but snow days and then yesterday we had a snow day. She has probably forgotten alot of what they have been working on but I'm sure she will pick it all up easily.

I'm ready for work today, I have to get more moving boxes and hope that when they made the schedule for next week they remembered to let me off on Saturday. I hope they remembered, but I know if they didn't they can go back in and make any changes. I just have alot more stuff to pack. Last night I went through my scrapbook stuff and organized, I didn't get rid of anything, I guess I will go through it all after we move and get rid of anything I no longer want. I'll donate it to Lexi's art teacher. The beginning of the school year the teacher was waiting on her supply order and they didn't have much so I went through everything and donated quite a bit of paper. She was thrilled and even called to thank me.

Today I made a list of everything I need to do for the move, all the address changes I will need to make. Too many things to change. But alot of them I will be able to change online so that's good. I need to choose a energy provider, I'm sure we will just go with TXU but I want to get quotes so we can get the lowest.

I'm so nervous, I feel like its all on me. If we don't like the apartment its all going to be my fault. If something goes wrong it will all be my fault. I know we can do it and its going to be tight but its stressful. Mike will make comments that just irk me. He's been getting kind of ticked that I have bought stuff, he says why don't we wait until we move, my thoughts are why can't we buy it now, its less stuff to purchase. I know its all going to work out but its tough.

The Cat's Out of the Bag

Well my inlaws officially know that we are moving!!! You know Mike told me that he had told them but I'm guessing no since his mom and dad both acted like Mike had never told them. Mikes dad had asked me if we were sure this is something we want to do. Yes it is! Also asked when we were moving and I had to tell him we are viewing the apartment on saturday and go from there. My mother in law asked just about the same thing and I gave the same answer. They didn't seem upset. So glad that awkward moment is over. So three more days until we get to view the apartment and two days until we get the rest of our tax refund. And one day until the kids go back to school!! Woohoo...

So Lexi got her new cell phone today, she did nothing but stalk the ups man all day long today. She watched and watched until he finally came about 3:50p.m. She was shreiking she was so happy. I'm glad she likes it, I had promised her a few months back a new cell phone but we kept putting it off.

Mikey is finally asleep for the night and I am happy, he was driving me crazy today. All he wanted to do is pick on the girls, he just never knows when to leave them alone. My mom said my little brother was the same way but just not as bad as Mikey. (Thanks Mom) Maybe one day he will learn to leave them alone and do his own thing. I can hope right?

Kaylee hasn't been around much today, she has spent much of her day in her room watching tv. Which is fine, she stayed out of my hair so I could cook dinner and do a few chairs.

Snow Day Again!!!Uggh!!!

Today we are cursed with yet another snow day! Although no snow really when I was out a bit ago it was nothing but sleet falling! I really need to get to the store today to get the kids valentines for their parties on Friday but I don't know if that's going to happen. It may have to wait until tomorrow. I am so sick of winter, I am ready for Spring!! More than that I am ready for this Saturday. I sure hope the apartment is ready for us to look at. I hope we get to look at it and sign all the paperwork on Saturday, pay our deposit and fees, that way its all taken care of and will be ours.

Yesterday I placed an order through winkflash for a photo book. They were running a fantastic deal that I couldn't pass up. The regular book is 16.95 for 20 pages, but the special was for up to 100 pages no additional charge for the extra pages. So I ordered a 100 page book, my total before my coupon was 96.95 after the coupon my total was 16.95, I saved 80.00, woohoo, score for me!!! I can't wait to get it in the mail. I did the whole of 2010 in review, kind of cool. I had alot of pictures to choose from though. So it was tough but i highlighted everyones birthdays and all of our trips through the year. I know Mike is going to like it too and the kids will get a kick out of it.

I had meant on getting more boxes last night at work but never got a chance to go back and get some, but I will be at work on Thursday so I will get more then.

So already this morning I have broke up fights, cooked breakfast and cleaned up the kitchen. I'm sure today is going to be a busy day with the kids home. I know they really need to clean up messes in their rooms and I'm sure do some homework they didn't finish. I think I may try to get out, we can just take it slow and easy and make it to the store. Since today is my day off I really don't want to be stuck inside all day. Plus I really do need to get those valentines for the kids so they can take them to school. I'd really like them to fill them out today so they are ready to go on Friday.

I should try to clean up my scrapbook stuff and organize it for the move, I have alot I need to go through. I may even get rid of some of it. That would probably be a wise choice.

Packing

The weekend went quickly, which was good because I had to work the whole thing. Monday was good I had gotten a call from the apartments over the weekend and couldn't get a hold of anyone because by the time I noticed the missed call they were already closed. So Monday I took the kids to school, thank goodness, I needed to be away from them as they needed to be away from me. So me and Kaylee went and had breakfast and then afterwards we decided to go by the apartments to speak with the leasing agent. She at the moment didn't have anything to show us but did tell us the apartment we are interested in will be available on the 12th to be viewed at and on the 18th to be moved into. I'm so excited!!!

We started packing yesterday, we are maybe half way done packing but its at a stand still until I get more moving boxes. The girls helped alot with the packing, I think they enjoyed it. I believe they are excited because we are moving. I know Kaylee whined yesterday because we weren't moving yet. I had to tell her it would be soon in about a week or so. I just can't believe its happening.

Today is going by slowly which is fine by me, I'm really in no mood to go to work today, although I will be off tomorrow, but tomorrow we are expecting more sleet and snow. Blah!!! I really don't want more. I'm sure it will be another snow day tomorrow and possibly on thursday. I'm just ready for this week to be over with. Well ready for Saturday so we can go and view the apartment.

Lots Done

I got lots of stuff done today! First off I ended up going back to sleep this morning and got up at 8am only to find that all three of the kids were out front in the street playing in the snow. Yeah I got on to them, told them they needed to come back inside. They were a mess too, snow head to toe. Lexi told me they made snow angels in the street, why the street I have no idea, they had the whole yard.

So after getting the kids indoors and all the wet clothes dealt with I got online and paid my cell phone bill. Waited around a bit for it to hit the account and had Lexi choose her new cell phone, I've only promised her a new one forever and kept putting it off. So that got ordered. I also filled out the application for the apartment. That was fun and exciting. I will be going by on Monday to the complex and hopefully getting to view the apartment I've been wanting to look at. Hopefully I can get our application fully processed and possibly a move in date. I'm getting so excited!!! I even packed three boxes that in the end will be three of many I know.

Mike left work early and after he made it home we went out to lunch and then went to a few stores. I got a few things for the apartment, some towels and a few other things. Also picked up some more packing tape. I will be glad when we get a moving date so I can pack everything and start purchasing everything we need.

After we got home and settled me and the girls went out and we tried to build a snowman, it didn't work too well, the snow was too dry. Maybe tomorrow before it all melts but I don't know if I will be up to it.

Ready for Monday to get here!!!

Snow

Well I woke at 1am to about an inch of snow, now its almost 6am and we now have about 3-4 inches. It's not suppose to totally quit until around noon. I'm not all that happy about it. I'm sure I will be asked more than 50 times today by the kids if they can go out to play. I guess now I will have to let them considering it is snow and not sleet that fell. I was really hoping though that it had only been a dusting. So today is snow day #4, I learned about 3pm yesterday that they wouldn't be in school again. And again the kids were excited, I think I may need a mental hospital before its all over. It's suppose to warm up tomorrow, the high will be 44 and I am ready. I'm ready to thaw out a bit.

I have bunches to do today. I need to put in our application for the apartments, pay some bills online, clean some house, maybe make it to the store after Mike gets home, start packing some boxes. I may need a nap too, I've been up too long already. I have even had breakfast. Oatmeal the perfect breakfast for this weather.

It's Cold Outside

Catchup, Tuesday morning I woke around 5 am and saw outside was completely white, it has sleeted, and was still sleeting with a bit of snow. I tuned into the news to see if school was closed. It was, so I tried to go back to bed. Mikey came in at 6:30 wanting to know why I didn't wake him. I told him he didn't have school and he looked at me confused. I told him to go look outside and he did and started cheering and then ran to wake Alexis and tell her, she could've cared less. So we had a full day of being inside, the kids did nothing but continually ask to go out and I had to break their hearts every time and say NO!!! Too cold, the windchill was in the teens. Mike was able to get to work and home early without any problems. He came in and we decided we needed to go to the store so we did. We got what we needed and then went to eat at Denny's. I wasn't sure what I would be able to eat but I ended up having Chicken Noodle Soup and some french fries. And I was hungry. It really sucks to not be able to eat. Right before we had lunch I discovered I had a missed call on my phone and it was work. So I checked my messages and it said no work for the day, thank goodness, they were closing the store at 4 too.

So yesterday wasn't all that bad but it was pretty boring being stuck at home for most of the day and not having a car, I failed to mention that Mike took the van to work because he couldn't get the doors on his truck opened. Last night I checked the schools website and discovered they had already cancelled school for today, I said waaahhhhh and the kids cheered. So this morning it is really cold out. Mike again took my car which more than a little ticked me off. I hate being stuck at the house. I could probably drive the truck but since it belongs to his dad I'd rather not. That's all I need something else to break while I'm using it and its not mine. I just wanted to get out, no where in particular just anywhere, grocery store, target, I don't care. I just didn't want to sit in the house all day again. Mike tried to get me to drive over to his work in the truck and switch cars but I threw a fit and said no. I don't care I was just aggravated about the whole thing. So far the kids haven't drove me crazy but I know its coming.

No work for me today as it is a scheduled day off, yay!! Just wish I could go out and do something. Not sure about tomorrow as it still forecasts it will be below freezing and then Friday we have a chance of snow. So who knows about the rest of the week. I'm scheduled for work tomorrow but off Friday and then I don't know about school yet. Guess I will keep a look out on that. I hope they go tomorrow, I would like some routine again. I just hate that I felt bad all last week with my toothache and through the weekend and now its fixed and I still can't do anything. Maybe tomorrow........
