Happy Birthday Jennifer!
October 19th:
I know I'm late on it, but I did think of it all last week and wanted to
post on the actual day. well, look what that got me. *blush* Just wanted
to let you know I'm still thinking of you, missing you and hoping all is
well.
I do wonder why I can never reach you or if any of the letters I sent
ever got to your address you gave me. :(
So happy birthday dear friend! I hope you got a LOT of hugs and great
stuff from your family. :)

I feel like I could fall on my face and crash out for a while. oy.
taking any of the other kids to the dr is a breeze, but take Hunter? yeah, I knew it was going to be an adventure. but boy-howdy, was it a wing-ding! so glad my mom went with me cause it'd have been undoable otherwise.
G didnt get any shots today cause he's got a runny nose and very slight fever. nothing wrong with him persay, ears/nose/throat are fine, just a snot nose. he'll pick up his shot at the next visit.
for stats today:
Hunter 5 years- 44.5" tall, 48.5 lbs BP was nice and low (like 85/63... amazing that with all the fit he was throwing) and pee was good, as was iron. oh, and he can shatter glass with his screaming. LOL!
Garrett 16m- 33.5" tall, 25.6 lbs, HC 19.25". he's officially the smallest of my babies at this age. height is right in range, but even K was a pound heavier at 15 months. guess he'll be tall and skinny for a while. hard to believe C was 30 lbs at 12m. makes me gawk at thinking of carrying that kind of load again. LOL! G will probably be 30 lbs closer to 2 years at this rate.
Dr did say to try and boost his fiber intake to see if that'd help with his poop cycles (he's been in a "wet" cycle earlier this week) so we'll see what we can do. at least he's not constipated anymore, right?
besides the dr, just hit a very few yard sales. found a couple of zip up small sleepers and other odds/ends. not much out today, even though the weather is great. guess its getting the end of yard sale season. *pout*
did get to see my Sis today. she brought me my Karen Moning book, plus some other stuff. *Woo!* she sat with us at McDs after we had breakfast (me and my craving for breakfast these days) til her DS called from school cause he was sick.
the church is having a family night tonight. potluck dinner and blowup rides for the kids, but it starts at 5 and not sure what time dh gets home (he's not here yet). plus I'm so dang tired. the thought of chasing down the boys for a few hours doesnt appeal to me too much. :p
I think I'll go to JCP to look for a MOH dress for the wedding. hopefully I can find something of fall colors that will look decent on me (crossing fingers!). dh also needs to find something as well cause my brother wants him to be the Best Man. :)
I feel so huginormous today. :P looking in the mirror to me, I seem giant! I know my weight's the same, but man! maybe I need a girdle. :) I definitely need hair color!!

today is laundry day. woo! actually its laundry catch-up day. :-D the boys laundry specifically. ugh. I know some of what I'm washing is clean, but I refuse to sniff clothes.
its all windy and gloomy outside as well. we got some good rain last night and its to rain more today! its looks like we might possibly be breaking the drought finally!
hopefully some nice weather will hold out for John and Tasha's wedding though (the 28th). cant believe its so close! next week will be spent a lot of time at my moms to help with decor making of stuff.
tomorrow is H and Garrett's dr. appts. both get shots. fun. I'm more stressed about Hunter though. he freaks at just the mention of shots, so it's going to be a wrestle-mania to have them done. :P
we're boring otherwise! dh *may* get to come home this evening if all 4 trucks come in today for them to unload. if not, he'll be home tomorrow.

finally back home! sometimes I wonder why I do story hour, it's always
refreshing when we LEAVE, but it does get the kids out to do something
else. it was all about firetrucks/firemen today. afterwards we got to go
see the ladder truck and the smoke house. the boys thought that was
cool. G was in the stroller the whole time. that kid is way too heavy to
pack anymore. (G wasnt in the stroller during story hour. that's when I
wrestle him to stay in my lap and resonably quiet. he spent his time
sorting crayons in/out of the cups and then taste testing them.) he was
quiet the whole time, guess watching everyone else and the fact he was
moving made it all ok. it did get DANG hot outside though! I think it's
warmer than what they'd thought it would be. I had to turn down the a/c
2* after we got home. I was breaking a sweat.

got some library books after the firetruck and K got her first library
card. (C just got his last week).
then to Lowe's to take back some stuff DH never had installed for me in
the utility room (a bar to hang the boys clothes on) so I returned all
that and just bought a spring loaded shower bar that I can install
myself! will do that later today!
I wanted to look at the wall-clings while there, but our Lowe's doesnt
have them. I'll have to look what Walmart has and check out the Lowe's
in the next town. If we have a girl, I'd like to find some Tinkerbell to
go along with K's Princess clings she has.

For Dody
I'm so sorry for the loss of your big sister. It breaks my heart that
you have to go through this. She put up a strong fight through the years
she battled breast cancer and through your updates, I could see that
just like I remembered her, she was full of life.
So many prayers go out to you, your entire family and every person she
touched, for comfort through this time. I wish I could be there to give
you a real hug and give you a shoulder to lay your head on.
She is one of my heroes now, along with my husband's mother, that even
though they lost the battle, they didn't lose the war because they will
never be forgotten for all that they were.
Love to you my dear friend.

My poor little Boo. he just had his first bad booboo. he fell and hit
his head on the concrete outside, obviously a rock or something was
under him and he cut the side of his little head. left a good sized knot
too. didnt bleed very long, the cut is only less than 1/8", but it did
get all over his shirt, me and the concrete.
katlyn washed off the concrete cause it freaked her out. I told her she
at least was more worried this time than when Gavin cut his head when he
was about this age. she was about 5 and just walked in saying "gavin's
got a bleed". when I looked outside he was covered in blood all over his
face. scary scary stuff! nothing like that this time, thank goodness.
he's gotten some tylenol cause I know his little head will hurt.

baby stuff
I'm 13 weeks today!! I had to think about that this morning when I remembered I needed to take a belly pic. wow! last week totally flew by! next week I'll start my 2nd trimester!
OH, I had another baby dream this morning! I was at the hospital after the birth, relaxing in my room and was looking at my baby girl laying in my lap. she was all swaddled up, but had the fattest little cheeks and blond whisps of hair on her head! I thought to myself "you're so tiny!" but when she stretched out, she was longer than I realized.
I never looked in her diaper, but I knew she was a 'she' and called her that (but no name). the funny thing was, later dh was sitting on the bed looking at her and he was saying 'he' and I rolled my eyes and said 'its a girl honey'. that's so funny cause he's the one that so adamant that I'm having a girl.
so I'm going to sketch up a pic of the baby I saw in my dream so I'll have it for keeps! that's the first time I've dreamed of a blond haired girl though. normally I see dark haired babies.
course it all means nothing on if I 'know' the gender. I tend to have girl dreams anyway. this baby did look totally different from any others I've seen though. ;)

recap
so, gosh, not sure when I last posted even.
let's see, for Sunday:
bought the new water heater and dh got it all installed and we had water again! no hot water though cause I had to call monday for an electrician to run a new wire for it (new codes have a bigger wire to use).
monday, called all the electricians in the phone book and was called back a couple hours later by the one recommended by my neighbors. he came out asap to look at it and see what he could do. turns out he could be out the next morning and get it done!
We mostly bummed around the house that day, but also cleaned house. (and as a side note, only one other electrician called back the same day. two others called back the next day and one recalled again today at 7:45am. duh.)
tuesday, it rained that day!!!!!! we got like an hour and a half of rain! made the electrician run a wee bit behind, so he got here about 8:30 and was finished by 11. we had hot water by 11:30! only cost $180 for his work and materials, so I was very happy about that. my mom stopped by for a bit. she'd picked K up earlier to take with her to the vet's office. Billy (remember the little runt kitten that my cat took in and he'd grown so much?) had been sick and turns out he was almost gone. they had to put him to sleep. mom and C buried him out back where we have my Tilly and Callie.
I also had to run in town to cash FIL's comcheck he gave to me to help pay for the electrician and stuff. then last night was the homeschool meeting. we also had a hayride, which was really nice. it wasnt quite too cold, just chilly.
today we woke up late after staying up late to watch movies. we got in town in time for story hour, which was providing free pizza. we stayed til around 12 cause of mom yakking. LOL!
now back home and finally checking email and all that after a few days. scary stuff!
