Well we survived

the first school morning without daddy, only 3 more to go!!! But before I get to today I have to tell you what happened last night, so I went to bed shortly after blogging and read for a bit, but I was so tired so I finally just fell asleep....next thing I know I hear this ringing/beeping and I think it's my alarm!! I'm like WTF!!! So I pop up and roll over to turn it off and I read something:41 and I think why is my alarm ringing 20 minutes early...then it hits me it's my phone ringing!!! Hahahaha!! So I grab up my cell phone and quickly facetime hubby back and I'm like ...."why are you calling me so early...it's like 5 in the morning..." And he's like ...."honey it's 10:41PM"!!! Hahahaha!!! I mumbled a few more things and we said goodbye and I was right back to sleep!!! Once I woke up this morning I realized that I did see 10:41 on the clock last night but for some reason my brain only wanted to acknowledge the 41!!! And I was so out of it I have no idea how I managed to dial him back.....I mean I don't even think I opened my eyes!!! Hahaha!! It was good stuff!!!
Ok now for this morning, I made the girls eat cereal (actually I don't think they really mind) and got their lunches packs and got them out the door and then I laid down, but didn't go back to sleep. The boys were up before the girls left but thankfully they were semi quiet in the living room!! Once I got up I gave them hot oatmeal and finished packing their lunches. Got the dish washer unloaded and then got them on the bus!!! As I was coming back in the house my phone was rinigng and it was hubby!!! So him and I and C facetimed for a bit and he shared his morning balcony view with us, lucky duck!!!


Then I sat down and edited halloween pictures from 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 - I had 121 photos total!!! Got them uploaded and order at Wal Mart. Then got the living room cleaned up and swept (well after I blew dust everywhere because the hose was clogged and then dug out said clog with a golf putter) and the hallway swept. Then it was lunch for C and I and then we had some running to do!! JoAnn's, Michael's and then Wal Mart!!! Then home and once R, L and G were home we ran out to get S and then to drop of T's pre-streets at FV and then home to have a little facetime with daddy - cause today is his birthday after all!!! Happy 37th Birthday baby!!! We love you so much!!! Also today should have been my brother Jeff's 50th birthday!!! *sigh* I can't believe he has been gone for 5 years!!! I miss him so much and I'm so sad that my kids don't get to grow up knowing him...well strike that they know him I guess "experiencing" him would be the better word!!! He was such a riot!!! He was quiet, but man once he got going he was totally awesome!!! He could get one a rip and just ride it forever!!! So sad he was taken from us way too soon!!! Here is a picture of the handsome devil and also coincidentally my other brother that was killed too just 20 months later! Jeff is on the left, my sister in the middle and Brad (Dutch) on the right!!
From my wedding in Nov 1997!! Love and miss them both!!!
 After facetime we had dinner - my delicious homemade velvetta mac and cheese and then it was just hoovering in survive mode once dinner was over - hahahaha!!! Showers/baths and then bed!!! I was going to start scrpping my halloween photos but I want to just go to my bed and READ so that's what I'm gonna do....well after I go yell at some boys that I can still hear talking....and now yelling in their room...................................ugh...ok now I'm going!!

Happy Birthday!!!

so today is a day full of birthdays in my house!!! My sweetheart of a hubby is celebratig his 33rd birthday today!! Love you tons sweetie!! My sweet baby boy C is one month old today!! Can't believe how fast your growing little man!!! **sniff sniff** And today my big brother Jeff would have turned 46.....miss you tons Jeffy!!! Can't believe it's been 18 months since your death!!! :-( My sister called me and told me she was sending flowers to my mom at work today!! Wish I would have done something for her but I've been crazy busy and short on cash!!! Maybe I'll give her a call later!!!

So we went grocery shopping last night.....all 7 of us!!! It was interesting to say the least!! Everyone was good, even C, he just fussed a bit......but it was during his "fussy time" (aka he needs a boob in his mouth constantly) and he was probably a bit hungry!! Then we went to McDonald's and it also went really really well, even if I did end up nursing C the whole time......which was also my first time nursing in public somewhere other then my van!!!! Go me!!!!!

So C is having some weirdness going on......he is having weird foamy poop, not green but yellow. I've searched online and have found several things it could be: a dairy "allergy", a virus (remember a 4 of my other kids were just sick) or over active letdown. He also has a red raw looking rash right around his little bum hole.....which could also be the dairy thing. The thing is he's not super gassy and when he does fart or have gas he doesn't seem uncomfortable or in pain. I also read it could just be from having gas or lots of air hen pooping too!!! So maybe I'll try avoiding dairy for a few days and see if that helps!!

OK I need to go get the bigger boys a snack (if I can get C to lay down and sleep without me!!) and hopefully get the boys laundry folded!!! Have a great day......it's sunny here and suppose to be in the 60's!!!

ETA: that little mister C FINALLY lost his umbillical stump yesterday!!! I've never had a kid hold on to theirs that long!!! I'm pretty sure that all the other kids lost their within 10 to 14 days after birth!!! But needless to say I was so glad to see that thing GO!!!! Woot for being able to wear onesies on my baby!!! *lol*
