Today...

Hello everyone! What a morning around here. Both kids Brittany & Jackson are in a mood today to say the least. I hate pranks.. have I said that before? I love my mom to death.. seriously she is one of my best friends but I could ring her neck for exposing the kids to the world of pranks. Last night, Brittany put glue in Jackson's belly button and this morning Brittany woke up with a ton of toothpaste in her hair.. and she was bitching like no other. So right now both kids are apart.. they had to listen to me bitch for 30 minutes straight and its coming to a point where I am going to take their stuff away for pranking. Plus I just got all the bedding washed and you know there is tooth paste all over it. Scott was like - They didn't use my $25 toothpaste did they? - How the hell am I suppose to know that? I wasn't trying to lick Brittany's hair to taste what kind of toothpaste it is. SIGH..Not the way I wanted to wake up for sure. And I am sure they all think I am the wicked witch of the west right now for my reaction to their morning crap. And to top it off...Brittany and Zane went to sleep after 3am and woke up early due to all this and you know they are going to be peaches today with not enough sleep. I seriously have to do something about their bedtimes soon. I know Brittany is allowed to stay up late at her dads and I know Zane is allowed up late at his moms. BUT...3am is pretty damn late for a 10 year old and an 11 year old. That needs to end soon. So you can see how the day started..Over all the kids have done great through the move. They have helped a lot and I have been so thankful for them. I hate getting on them in any way but enough with the pranking. I am all filled up with that bullshit. Scott is off work today but he's back at the old house right now getting the treadmill. He was going to leave it but I told him that my mom would die if I left it so he's bringing it here. Its works fine and we shouldn't just leave it. Then I think he is going to come home and go play golf with the kids. We got him a gift certificate for Fathers Day so he is ready to cash it in! And I think if he does go, he will be taking Brittany and Zane. Jackson doesn't want to go. I am going to be unpacking more and I have to run out today too so its probably going to be pretty busy for me. I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday! I'll be back later!

Waking Up....

Sleeping in the new house still hasn't been easy for me. Idk.. but I have woke up pretty early every day since we have moved in. Today however, I was a little more lucky and slept until 11am. And straight to the coffee I went! You know I didn't loose the coffee pot box! It was unpacked first! But I was up at 7...8..and 10 due to the cats meowing. I am probably going to go fix Romeo and then at least he will shut up. So today I got up and made him an apt to be neutered on the 28th.  Yesterday Brittany and I  had to go get Willow from the Vet..And it was over a 2 hr ride one way. I was still using my old Vet which was close to an hour away from our old house but even further with the new house. It was a very long drive and I probably would have done anything to not drive that far yesterday but I didn't really have a choice.

Moving in Grocery Haul!!

Today I finally got to the store. Thankfully, here in our new town most of the stores are the same. I did throw out some old freezer items but I brought most of our food with us. Otherwise, restocking the kitchen would have been a lot harder! 

Hope you enjoy!

Beat up, Broken & Exhausted

Its late and I need sleep but I thought I would stop by and say hello before I have another crazy day tomorrow.  So tonight we FINALLY got totally moved into the new house. We have nothing at the old place now and we will not be going back. Scott and I was out to midnight getting the last items...including the fish and then returning the Uhal and coming home. We both were so sore and tired on the ride home that I seriously think we might have got a hotel if the kids were not here. I didn't know how we were going to make it over 1.5 hours but somehow we kept moving along and finally got home. The garage is super full and there is TONS AND TONS of things to get put up but its all here with us now! Tomorrow is another crazy busy day and I probably won't be blogging until later in the afternoon if any. I have to go get Willow from the Vet which is over 2 hours from here and then I have to go by the post office and I really need to run to the grocery store. Fun.. Fun.. but who knows about the shopping. That might have to wait, depending how tired I am. I know Scott is totally exhausted too and just needs to rest. I couldn't figure out why this move was so hard on us. The other times seemed so much easier. Husby told me " We are getting old."  He's right.. Today I realized that I don't just have 1 bad knee, leg and ankle.. I have two. Yep.. and it sucks so much that I am actually considering trying to get a new knee that will work better and last forever so I don't have to be in so much pain. I seriosuly feel beat up, broken, and exhausted. And I should point out, our kids have been GREAT about helping but they have young legs and lots of energy! Anyway, its been a very long few days. Ohhh get this.. remember me bitching about the neighbors yorkies barking at 5-6 am waking me every morning?? Well one of my new neighbors has chickens and roosters right in his back yard and they don't wake me like those dogs did. Go figure..I still don't think I really like living in a neighborhood opposed to a country house but I am just going to have to deal with it. Most of the neighbors here don't even park in their garages.. Nope.. Instead they have all their stuff out there.. open up the garages and sit outside and watch everything going on. I'm serious.. we had about 5 families watchig everything we did when we were moving in. Hummmmmmm.....Well, they can just watch away.. the good thing about this house is, we live the back of the house and can't been seen through the front so we do get some privacy. This house is huge and I have no idea how I am going to keep up with it. Its 3000 sq ft and its going to be a bitch to keep clean. Maybe we should really consider getting some part time help. Idk. Well I am so tired.. its time for bed! We can catch up another time! 

Sweet dreams!

Getting Moved!

Hello Friends and Happy Fathers Day! I hope you are having a wonderful Sunday. I know things have been quiet around here.. but I have been moving the past few days and I am totally exhausted. Today Scott is over at the old house finishing getting things packed up and cleaned. The tv and internet guy just left so all the kids are on game boxes. Actually its pretty nice because after 2 days with no internet.. my kids were going crazy.. Now I don't even know they are in the house! Which is also nice because I have so much to do! I have been working all around the house and now just taking a break for a few minutes. I am working on the kitchen.. Well what is " to be the kitchen " because check it out.. 

Its a total mess and I hate it. Hopefully by later tonight it will look much much better than it does now. But in a while Scott is going to be home with the Uhal and we are going to have to unpack it and probably take it back afterwards. I am already exhausted. I will be happy though because that means everything is here.. and I just have to get it sorted and put it up, which will take weeks to finish. 

But we are happy to be moved! I'll try to get things back to normal around here pretty fast but I have lots to do and I am very tired! 

Talk to you soon!

No More...

Morning Friends.. I hope you had a better night than I did. So as many of you know Willow gave birth and every kitten was born dead except one.. who passed away yesterday afternoon. Willow started taking a turn for the worse last night and this morning, I got her to the Vet. She has an infected uterus and  the infection has spread. So she will be staying at the hospital for a day or two until she is out of the woods. She will also be getting spayed while she is there. Which brings me to this.. I am done. There will be no more kittens for us. This hobby/passion of mine has caused a lot of trouble not only our pets who we love dearly but also our family. My mom was up most of the night with me trying to find an emergency Vet that we could take her to at 3am... My sister in Law Trina has donated to the kitty fund many times to help out when the expenses got so high. My kids are devastated over loosing those kitten, as I am. My husband has been very supportive but I know he's tired of the crazy emergencies that keep popping up. So my decision is to end it. I can't keep doing this to my family. For 3 years now, we have not any problems with breeding cats but the last 6 months has been crazy bad and I just can't do it. I am still condsidering letting Gypsy have a litter but right now.. its not happening. It might never happen.. I'm not sure but what I do know, is this has been too much. I am exhausted..my family is exhausted.. and I am tired of being scared for the animals I love. So No More.

I need some sleep...I'll be back later.

xoxo

Wednesday Hodgepodge

What do you think makes a good dad?

Oh wow.. what a hard question! First I should point out that my dads dad was my father. My dad lived close and came to visit.. he was always around but he really isn't my dad. For me, I guess I would think a father who puts their children above their own wants and needs is what makes a good dad. Not being selfish with their time is important to me. I know many dads work and come home tired.. just like my husband Scott but when you have children, they don't understand dad being tired and grumpy. They just want his time. So for me, a dad that is loving, loyal and thinks more of their children than themselves is what makes a good dad.

Sleepy Afternoon

Good Morning...Afternoon! It's actually morning for me right now but I do  have an excuse for getting up later.. 

← ← ←

I am still feeding this little guy about every 3 hours. And I was really tired at 830 when I had to get up and feed him. Thankfully he slept again until about 12:30 then I was back at it feeding him before I even had my first cup of coffee. He's doing good so far but its been a long night. And we are no where near being out of the woods yet but at least he made it through the night. We have been calling him " miracle " because its pretty fitting. 

To be perfectly honest, Willow acts like there is another kitten on the way right now. If she has another kitten I am going to be shocked. Just so you know...I have been on the phone with the Vet many times and since Willows temperature is normal.. and being she looks good still, we are not rushing her right in. Cats have kittens all the time so I am just trying to let it all happen as natural as possible. Hopefully she is done but its hard to tell! 

I know everyone thinks its oh so glamorous, fun, and sweet to hand feed a kitten. Well it is sweet but it not fun. I don't recommend it unless you have no choice. Willow is not producing milk yet so we are doing kitten formula instead. I do plan on getting a video up soon of how to feed  but first we want to make sure this little guy grows a little more first. My real hope is Willow gets the milk in where she can feed her own baby. 

Today is suppose to be more packing for me.. however, I don't want to leave the cats long enough to do anything. I am a little worried about Willow and I don't want it loud around here because I don't want her scared. So the moving plans are coming together pretty good. Friday we will get the Uhal... husby says he's getting a small one and making a few trips. Friday morning we will start loading up everything and getting it into the new house. We will probably be making a few trips and then Saturday I will be at the new house and then Sunday we plan on coming back.. getting forgotten items and cleaning the house up. Again.. its going to be a crrrrrazy weekend! I am excited to be moving though! I am still working on all the utilites and getting things set up at the new house too.. See busy busy! 

I will be blogging when I can. I do have some posts coming later today but its time I get up and do something. The kitten just ate AGAIN ( had to take a bloggy break! ) and now he's sleeping so its time to get things going around here. The yard guy is cutting the grass one last time right now so it looks nice if people come to look at it. 

Anyway, I hope you have a great Wednesday! I'll be back soon!

Meet Sonya! - Guest Spotlight! -

Hi everyone, allow me to introduce myself, my name is Sonya and I blog over at a gray rainbow. I would say my blog is an everything blog. Ideas, pictures, pups and my little Ardo is what my blog is all about. Speaking of which (my little guy) I wanted to touch on one subject today...sleep.

I don't think I consider myself a new mom anymore, after two years I have a few tricks up my sleeve. However, one thing people seemed to give me the most advice on when I was a brand new mom was all the sleep I wouldn't be getting. And it's true little babes are on a 24 hour schedule and if you babe was anything like my sweet little Ardo, to say he was high needs is probably an understatement. I didn't have one of those miracle babes that slept from dusk til dawn at 3 weeks. I had a little guy who didn't start sleeping through the night til he was 13 months old. (So mama's of babes who feel me, you are not alone.) I started noticing so many moms and mama blogs would say how much they wanted to sleep in, and how waking up early is still so difficult. Around the time he started sleeping through the night I made a deal with myself. If I was able to get uninterrupted sleep, I would embrace a early morning start. I couldn't possible complain about both. So I started waking up the same time everyday, even on the weekends. 6:45am, and you know what, life started to become easier. I would lay in bed til 7:00 like I do every morning, check my phone, and then get in the shower, just waiting for my little guy to get up. And life became easier. I was no longer trying to get something that wasn't going to happen. And you know what, waking up early has a few perks.

1. getting ready before your little one, lets you have time to get ready, so you walk out of the house looking fresh, and not like you were just run over by a truck.

2. getting to stores as soon as they open helps with more time to shop and if your little one starts acting crazy, there really isn't anyone to disturb.

3. little ones seem to be easier in the morning, almost like their energy level needs a little time to kick in

4. and this one is probably most important, I noticed when I stopped fighting the sleeping monster and got on the wake up early bus, my little guy seemed happier. Sometimes I already had breakfast made or was able to map out our day, and when he is was happier, then for dang sure, I am.

I hope you guys stop over.. check out her blog and say hi when you have time! I have been loving her blog posts and can't wait for you guys to get to know her a little better!

Mom Rants....

Hello Friends! I know many of you have children and I am betting that you should be able to find something in this post that you can relate to! It's not just a rant because the kids have a lot of great qualities that should be said too.. but they are handfuls around here! 

* Brittany seems to think she doesn't have to listen to anything she doesn't want to do. She's not an adult.. and has the same rules as the boys. I'm seriously thinking about putting a little video together of her crazy behavior just so she can see. And also for her dad to see!

* All the kids fight over my cats. Yep.. Brittany thinks they are all hers and the boys tote them around just as much. I feel sorry for the kitties in the Jaggers House. 

* The kids are all on red cup duty because they use 30 a day so they can wash them. They should only use 1 per day but nope.. not our kids. Every night there is a different kid washing the red cups...and they still use a ton.
