My Mommy comes into town tonight for Ry's fall break. We were supposed to go to Cali. for the week but just can't afford it. We'll just have to have fun here.
Going out for sushi tonight - YEAH!!!!!! I haven't had sushi in so long. Shouldn't spend the money, but I really want some sushi. After sushi we'll come get the kids (Grandma L. watching while we go out) and go pick up Mom at 1030.
I started back at curves this week. I go back to work in a month. YUCK!!!
Hey, so it is only Oct. 10 and I finally put the last of my xmas decor away. LOL - if I didn't have halloween/thanksgiving stuff to put on those shelves I wouldn't have even bothered w/ xmas being so close.

T. got his patricipation ribbon in ROTC and is very proud of himself. He got it for participating in three non-required events. He is now working on his community service ribbon. He is really enjoying this whole ROTC thing.
Also, check out the GUNS.....
I have combined both the girls blogs into one. They can now be found here.
My baby is already 4 weeks old, so that means I only have 8 more weeks off work. That stinks.
I don't really have much else to blog about, I don't do much these days, but catch sleep whenever I can and take care of the family. Of course, I keep up on all my normal reality TV and then some. I learn funny things from reality TV.
We've been home actually, it just still hurts too much to sit at computer for very long. That's what happens I guess when you push out a small toddler.
Ramsie is wonderful, so sweet and mellow, just like Rylee was until she started talking. I am hoping Ramsie will stay that way and be the opposite of her big sis. She is giving me a hassle at feedings. I did cave the first night home and gave her a little bottle, because I felt so bad for her as she was wailing. I have held strong since then though even though Mr. H tried to get me to give her more bottles. She feeds great one time and then the next she takes a few swigs and starts wailing like I am starving her. It makes me feel bad, but I am not backing down, she will not starve to death. She will usually settle down and go to sleep and we try again the next time, so I figure she can't be that hungry or she would suck it up (literally) and eat.
I am thinking of combining the 2 girls blogs into one, I don't really need 3 blogs to post on, I know it's hard to keep up w/ my busy life, so if you only had to read 2 blogs it would make it easier.
Now about the other man in my life....
My little ROTC guy. He really seems excited about it and I am very happy and hope he sticks w/ it as long as he continues to enjoy it.
I am off to update the girls blogs now.
Later!
Nothing much to report. It's hot, I'm huge, and my house is still a mess. The girls room is done though and there will be pics posted on Ry's blog, so go there is you want to see it.
Went and spent money we shouldn't have to see the newest Batman "The Dark Knight" it was great. I love Heath Ledger and such a waste that he is dead. Poor Movieman was stuck next to some obnoxious kids, but it was his 2nd time seeing it, so better him than me. I was just trying to breath through my mouth the whole time, because Movieman smelled so bad. LOL Kidding, some freak was wearing way to much floral perfume somewhere in the vicinity and it was making me sick.
Today I have my weekly doc appt and next week is yet another ultrasound to see how big little miss is now.
I am only working Tuesday - Thursday right now for 1 month. I was taking at least that much time off anyway every week, so I just made it permanent for 4 weeks that I take Friday off too. Now, I just have to force myself to stay there all day Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. :)
Mr. H, coworkers threw us a shower last Monday and it was so much more than I ever expected a work shower to be. So sweet of them to take the time and do this for us. We got a lot more great stuff. His boss painted up construction helmets for us and blinged them out w/ jewels and baby bottles. A pic can be seen here as Diva immediately posted the pic I sent to her by cell phone. Now to get that batch of Thank You cards done.
Today we took the Saturn in to have the AC checked, it blows cold, but not cold enough and never truly cools down when it is HOT out. That is done, so it better work great tomorrow. I don't know how it works, because it is still sitting at Saturn, hopefully a gate will be open and Mr. H can pick it up on his way home tonight.
Tonight it is just me and the kids as Daddy is at dorky Anime convention. Tomorrow we are all going to Waterworld thanks to the cheap Season Pass that costs as much as 2 entries into the park. I cannot believe I am taking my fat pregnant ass to a water park, but I know Ry will love it so that is why I am doing it.
Have so much to do around this house to make it more livable. Have laundry piled to my knees (slight exaggeration) but I just don't ever care to do it, until I run out of underwear or something else I need. Have to get the girls room done and quick. We need to prep the ceiling and get painted this next weekend hopefully, so we can get all the other finishing touches done to it during the week when Grama is here sewing everything. Have to fit a baby shower and pedicures in there somewhere too. Must work on my room so the baby even has a place to sleep, although my dresser drawers are empty, I could always stick her in one of those. The playroom is a disaster zone and just looks like a toystore exploded, there isn't even room to play. Need to get that cleared out and toys all sorted, so we can set up a baby area w/ all the baby toys too, not that she'll be in there for awhile, but still. Waiting on new gate to block off the whole playroom to keep the dogs and someday crawling baby out of there.
I can't wait to be off work for 3 months, not that I work a whole lot anyway, but it is going to be so nice to be off for 12 straight weeks and actually get a paycheck for the whole time. I'm not going to know what to do w/ all the money. Oh yeah, pay neglected bills, aw well.
Ok, these are from real camera and taken by the boy so cannot say it is because they were taken by a short person, MY BELLY IS HUGE!!!!!! Just you wait, you'll see soon enough.
Not my daughter, but my puppy. Little miss Zoey will ONLY go potty in the shade, if you stick her in the sun, she will not even walk to a shady spot in the grass, she will walk back under our patio and try to go on the rug. If you place her in a shady spot in the grass, no problem. SPOILED!!!
I am up to drop off Ry at her summer program. While she is there for 3 hours, I am going to Petsmart to get more puppy pee training pads for inside, go to Target to look at new strollers and other baby stuff and try to fit a pedicure in there as well before picking her up at noon.
We'll have to hit Sams Club after school and then grab some lunch. Hopefully a nap and tehn swimming later on when Mr. H gets here w/ her cousin after work.
What an exciting day!
*name still under consideration - Mr. H says no, but thats what me and Ry keep calling her.
Crappy cell phone pics....
Amazingly enough the tooth did get pulled Friday morning by the oral surgeon. It took all of 5 minutes total including stitching, which makes me even more annoyed - as if that is possible- with my original dentist office.
Of course, had I not been desperate to get tooth taken care of this was so not an Oral Surgeon I would have chosen. Old office, in not so great neighborhood, old man that was shaky. LOL Oh well the tooth is gone and I am happy now. He was even nice enough to call me first thing this morning to see if everything was ok.
I was in alot of pain yesterday but today is better. We went to a bbq at a friends house today and I spent most of the time resting on the couch.
That is about it for now.
Goodnight!
I am soooooooo pissed. Our origInal dentist has left the practice and they have all these new dentists. The chick at the desk was supposed to show the Friday dentist my xray and make sure he was fine doing it, since the one that was there on Wednesday wasn't comfortable pulling my tooth. She never called to tell me there was any problem so I rushed to the fucking dentist, he looks at tooth, looks at xray again and says oh yeah, I am not comfortable doing this either I'm going to have to send you to specialist to have it pulled. I bitched I took the whole day off to get it done and he tells me I can have a free day off now. Stupid prick, I don't want a free day off I want my tooth pulled. Get back up to the front am ready to just leave w/o referral to specialist and start over somewhere else, but I wait and ask the girl what happened thought she was going to call me if there was a problem, she doesn't know why he won't do it now and she had showed him this morning and he was fine. Suppposedly the dentist that was there on Thursday didn't have a problem w/ pulling it either so I don't know why they didn't just make me an appointment for her to do it, but fuck it, I don't care, I'm done w/ that place anyway. I get to take another whole day off and go to the oral surgeon/specialist next Friday. Then I'll be finding a new dentist after baby girl is born. Plus, I have to call the endodontist on Monday that was supposed to do root canal anyway, I think my gum behind the tooth is all infected now, it just sucks.
We got these taken back in March, but didn't get the actual photos until April. DAMN! I got some cute kids. As you can tell the photographer just loved Ry and took some goofy pictures of her, just because she was having so much fun w/ her.
The kids and the suitcase is my favorite and is going to be a 16 by 20 inch canvas so it looks like a painting. I told Mr. H we can look at it and just imagine they are leaving home.
we got them taken at Sams Club, they had some travelling road show type deal. They are so darn cute and will make great Mothers day presents for all the Grandparents.
Making these for Ry's teachers......Too freakin CUTE!!!!!! It is teacher appreciation week next week! Actual Teacher Appreciation Day is May 6.

This last weekend we went to Tucson for a karate tournament.
We had a great weekend but not enough sleep. We finally got to hotel and all checked in after 10pm. We didn't leave until almost 7 after I had to run back into house 3 different times for stuff, then we stopped at McDonalds for dinner. We passed our turn off for hotel and had to turn around. Jerry came over and we hung out until after 2am.
We got up Saturday and walked around hotel looking for water slide and lazy river, had breakfast and then were headed back to room to put our suits on when Rylee got sick and puked on the edge of a gift shop and again in hallway. We had just eaten, it was hot outside and she was running around w/ her brother before hand. We rested in the room for awhile and then went to pool until after 3. We were going to try to get to zoo but when we got there it had just closed at 4. We ate some lunch and went to a comic book store Dave had seen a commercial for. Went back to hotel and I got a little nap and then ordered myself some room service because everybody else had the leftovers from lunch. We rented National Treasure at Ry's insistence and she lasted all of 10 minutes into movie before she fell asleep - we didn't start watching until 11pm.
Sunday morning we got up and went to tournament and Phillip actually showed and on time! It was quick tournament w/ only having the 4 events to go to and not nearly as many kids as the Phoenix one. We even had seating in the bleachers. Ry was getting upset that she wasn't getting any trophies, even though she gets a medal for every event. We all know that girl can punch, as our neighbors broken window can prove, but once she gets up there she just gets too shy or something. She finally did get a trophy, and a 1st place one at that for Fastest Kick. That is the same event she got 3rd place last time. I think we were out of there a little after noon. We went to lunch, showed Phillip the comic book store and headed home. Phillip took Taylor w/ him and we all left. I made Dave stop at Ostrich Farm on the way, and we went on the monster jeep ride and fed the animals. It was a nice 45 minute or so detour.
I'll post pics later, maybe.
This morning Ry was grouchy, I know what a surprise....
She yelled at me - again another shocker...
I said "I don't know who you think you are young lady!!!" This was being said as she was slamming my bedroom door.
She opens back up my door and says "Oh yeah, You know exactly who I am, I am Rylee !!!"
and slammed my door again.
Can't argue w/ that!!!
