Have you got an hour?

Do you remember that line from French Kiss? When she gets to the Hotel in Paris and Meg Ryan sets down and the theif sets down beside her and he ask, "Why the long face? You are in Paris...the city of love?" And she says, "Have ya' got an hour?" And he says, "As a matter of fact, always!" You have to say his parts with a french accent! It makes it so much better! ANYWAY...ok so long story short, Tori has been sick, she got better, when I got home from work last night she was sick throwing up again so she layed down, I called the doctor and off to the hospital we went. They were worried because of the way it has come and gone that it might be something other than a virus. Like possible appendisidis (I know I didn't spell that right)! We checked in at 9:13pm and didn't leave until 1:45am!I really lucked out though because one of Rick's buddies was working as the admin. nurse and took us right back. He was so helpful trying to get things moving along. You know that people that were there waiting were probably not impressed. The absolute worst part of the evening: besides the hospital and blah, blah, blah...was them trying to start an I.V. on her! The couldn't get it, they tried 3 times and her screaming crying, "Momma make them stop!" My mom had gone over with us and I don't think I could have done it with out her! REALLY! My mom was helping calm her as much as I was trying and it was taking all of us that's for sure. Rick was having a really hard time. We all were! He has seen sooooo much in his line of work and it doesn't bother him. Just because he has come accustom to it. But he does not handle anything or anyone harming his babies. It's like we play opposite roles. He is big tough meany with anyone else and I am a weeny! But with the kids I am the tough one and he is the weeny. Once we finally got home and got to bed Tori asked me if I would lay with her for a little bit. When we got laid down she said to me, "Mom, I am sorry for putting you through this stuff tonight!" So that is when I thought I was really going to loose it! I think between her and Nate getting up after that I've had maybe 3 hours of sleep. I am exhausted today and I'm not sure if it's more emotional or physical. I am sure it is both. I have really laid off of the caffeine since I have been trying to "eat better" but I am thinking I might have to cave in and have it today for sure if I'm going to make it! Anyway...have a good Tuesday.

Yeah for Monday!!

OK...I have never been one to want the weekend to be over but I was ready to come back to work today and get out of the house. I had sick kids all weekend. Friday night we went to Mom and Dad's for supper with everyone to celebrate Anya's birthday and to talk about our much anticipated trip to DISNEY! We watched a video that my mom had about Disney and things to do and traveling with little ones and all of that rah rah! After watching 1/2 of it we decided that it was pretty much worthless. You can tell everyone is really getting excited about going though. We talked about what parks we thought we wanted to go to and that kind of stuff. So Tori was kind of quiet and still and sure enough Saturday morning she woke up throwing up! We were in the bathroom, me holding her hair while she pucked, and here comes Nate. I think he will be the kind of kid to have a weak stomach because he started throwing up too! Both at the same time. I told Chase to go and get his dad! Nate didn't throw up again but Tori was throwing up every hour, hour and a half until 11:30pm. She was crying for me to hold her and set with her which Nate did not like. He thought that HE needed my attention. Sunday she got up and threw up once and did good the rest of the day. She was able to keep food and liquids down so I knew that that made her feel better! I still kept her home from school today because she is just weak still. Just not enough momma to go around. Anyway...I hope that your weekend was more productive than mine. Tomorrow morning is weigh in so wish me luck!!!

I am Starving!

I am setting here watching the clock and the minutes cannot go by fast enough for me to go to lunch. I am absolutely starving. I can't believe how hungry I am ALL of the time! It seems like since I started counting calories I am hungrier now than I was before. AARRRGGGHHH! I went back to Curves last night and my legs are sore today! It felt good though to know that I am on my way to hopefully a smaller hiney! I also wore my new glasses for the first time yesterday! My new prescription I think is crazy! My eyes are having a really hard time focusing. I figure I am giving them until Monday and if they don't work themselves out I am going back to the eye doctor. I have gotten lots of compliments on them though. Even from the guys at work. How totally impressive is that? You know that I am impressed! Anyways...Hope you all have a great weekend.

What a Weekend!

Non-Stop! I am used to my week's being that way but not necessarily my weekends. First and foremost I did not get enrolled in my class at Butler because they changed the class date to Monday's instead of Wednesdays and Todd doesn't think I should be gone on Monday mornings! So I am going to have to wait until March and see if they are offering the class in the Summer at all. Went shopping with SummerTime on Saturday morning for new glasses. I got a pair and their machine was down so I was supposed to go and pick them up last night but with the weather I was not driving on the ice. Plus Rick called me and told me I did not need to go. He NEVER tell's me what to do so I said OK! Back to Saturday...Tori went to Pump It Up for a birthday party and lost one of her front teeth. I was so happy. She's starting to look like Buck Tooth Billy bless her heart. Just because her other teeth have come in behind and were pushing them out. After being at Pump It Up she decided that she was having her party there. Then Sunday after church she wanted her dad to pull her other front tooth that wasn't hardly hanging on. She decided that she wanted it pulled with dental floss and tied to the door like you see in the movies. So after 1/2 an hour of crying and Drama later Rick tied the floss around her tooth and pulled it out. Blood everywhere, more Drama and more Drama! I didn't think the blood or drama would ever stop. At least it is finally over. I did manage to get my coupon book done that was on Alisha's blog and took a pic last night to post but forgot my card to get the picture! I will do that tomorrow. Tonight I am having highlights put in my hair again. I am think a carmel color this time. I did red last time and it didn't hardly show up! Then hopefully I will get my glasses. I can't wait for them. And for Wynne~I got my "Motherhood" shirt at the Pink Boa in Andover! Also you can get them at www.cutting-up.com That is who makes the shirt! They are pricey for a tee but absolutely worth it! I love mine!!

It's Friday

I am so bummed! Great that it is Friday but bummed that when I went to sign up for my Web Graphics class they had changed it to Monday's instead of Wednesdays. Mondays are just to busy of a day for me to not be here so I am going to have to wait until Summer now to see if they offer it now. Stupid Butler! Anyway...I am going shopping in the morning to look for new glasses. I can't hardly wait. I have wanted/needed new ones for forever now. Tori has a birthday party tomorrow night to go to so it will just be me and Nater! Hope every one has a great weekend.

What a Day!!

This has been one of the most hectic days ever and it's not even a Monday. It was kind of crazy this morning getting around for school trying to get Tori ready for school pictures today and then out the door to school. Met my mom to give her stuff for Summertime. Ate breakfast with Nate, got ready for work (3 minutes late) and then it started all over. We are having a really hard time with a box that was shipped to us from Sweden so I have been dealing with a Customs Broker for the last 2 days that I don't think he really knows what he is talking about. He finally just admitted to me that he is new to the company. Well sir...find me someone who isn't. On another note...I have cooked almost every day for the last 2 weeks with this whole new make a menu and plan thing but I am thinking it is my night off. I am going to enroll at Butler when I get off of work for my Web Graphics class and then it is whatever is in the fridge or Rick can come up with something. I am finishing getting all of my pictures ordered from Snapfish for Crop*A*Ganza!!! That's Super exciting because it's almost here and I can't wait!!!

WELL...I was right. We were at the eye doctor forever yesterday. An 1 1/2 to be exact. But they were looking at Chase and I both. He did such a good job. He starts having almost like panic attacks anytime that he gets really nervous or scared. They now do the glaucoma testing different now. Instead of blowing the air puff in your eye they put these numbing drops in there and touch your eye ball with this instrument. His eyes got HUGE when they told him that but he did a really good job. He is more near sited than last year and needs a new presciption. I on the other hand am Near Sited in my right eye, Far Sighted in my Left Eye and have a stigmatism in both eyes. HELLO. My grandma Wanda used to say, "You get your ass fixed and your head goes crazy!" Or vice versa. The more I go through life the more I believe it. I just had surgery on my bottom half to get it fixed and now my eyes are crazy. Anyway, I am going to back to Curves today and can't wait. I have to resign my forms and make sure nothing has changed and then bring on the exercise. This morning after Chase got up he was complaining that it was hurting him to eat because of his loose tooth. He asked me to pull it for him. I almost hit the floor that he even asked. He would let it stay in there forever instead of have somebody pull it. But I guess it was hurting him bad enough he wanted it done. I told him to pull it and eat his breakfast so we could go to school. I went to get Tori up and when I came back 20 minutes later he was still messing with it. So I pulled it out. No wonder it was hurting, he had another tooth under it. I didn't even have to hardly touch it and it came right out. It was so little compared to his other teeth. Anyway...having a great day.
