Children

dh is killing me, I swear! Since Annabella was born, I have sort of been toying with the idea of not "being done"...when I was pg I said I wouldnt push my luck, I wouldnt try again, this was it. But she is such an easy, and easygoing baby, that its hard not to want another one (just like Andrew, thats why he and Luke are only 21mos apart).

DH has said all along he is done, he will be too old for any more (he is almost 39 now). When someone asks if we are done (and suprisingly, ...

I work nights, so most times I get to sleep from 4AM to 7AM (up with the kids) and then after I get the boys to school I can nap with the baby (usually from 9AM to noonish). Thats it, thats all the sleep I get, and if I have an appt or something comes up, forget the nap. So, as you can see, sleep is a precious commodity. Also, I am a mean bit*h if I dont get enough sleep...

So, with dh's 25% paycut, he has Fridays off. So, I was kind of happy, thinking he would get the boys up ...

My DH thought he was doing me a favor since I havent been feeling well and havent done anything lately...he started a load of jeans for me...but he didnt realize you have to check the boys pockets (even tho he has heard me getting upset over Pokemon cards, marbles etc in my wash)...

So, I open the dryer to find green and brown crayons in it...and of course on the jeans (and two pair of white socks that I dont know how they got in there)...the boys jeans arent too bad (mostly on the ...

what a production this is turning out to be. I swear I never do anything the easy way. I dont know what got into me, but apparently I forgot that the communion this year is on a Sat...Andrew's favorite restaurant, where he wanted his reception after, is a family style hall that only serves dinners on Sundays (except for weddings etc where you have to book a room). We have done all our Christenings etc there, and we love the place. I know that bec its family style, reservations dont need to be made ...

we drove down to FLA last week (left RI on Holy Thursday). We drove all night Thursday and Friday day and stopped for the evening in GA...left Sat AM for my parents house in SW FLA...we were on the road for an hour and got in a 4 car accident (we were car #2).
There was a car in front of us with one of those tow behind carriers (a little tray thingie, carrying a cooler and a Little Tykes wagon)...that guy jacked up on his brakes and my dh had to stop short to miss him (we were not following ...

at this rate we will be paying them to let dh work...
my SIL called me yesterday (BIL is a partner in the firm)...the partners are trying to avoid bankruptcy but it may eventually happen anyway. they are millions in the hole...they are paying overhead and employees at this point, not consultants, suppliers etc. They have one current project ($8 mil) that is keeping them afloat with nothing on the horizon.

So, in October they took a 15% paycut...in January they took another ...

I am just going to leave it at that

media whore

i am totally addicted to it...no big deal...but i got a friend request from my mom tonight...freaked me out...she isnt that computer savvy to begin with ...

and then...I knew this would happen, just a matter of time...someone I was friends with in HS "friended" me...but she seems to have forgotten a huge falling out we had...either that or she thought i forgot. She keeps messaging me, and i ignore it/dont respond and she isnt getting it...I dont want to rehash old issues ...

just so i remember...
at 4mos she is 13lbs 10oz and 25" long...up almost 6lbs from birth and exactly 6" from birth. she is taking four 8oz bottles and started cereal. rolling over: can do it but not a fan...sitting up unassisted: got the hang of it quick and always wants to be up now...
diaper rash is not diaper rash but a sensitivity to the diaps (Pampers Sensitive if u can believe)...area is smooth n well hydrated, thus conclusion that redness is just sensitivity, which ...

So asks Lucas....

We were getting organized for the drive to FL next month and talking about times to leave etc. We usually leave Thursday evening, drive all night and all day Friday and then stop in Savannah Friday night, pick back up Sat AM and get to my parents Sat afternoon. DH and I were trying to figure out if we left earlier, how to avoid NY and DC traffic etc. We talked about driving all day Friday and not stopping...and Luke came over to clarify dates...
