So Tasha had her baby yesterday. Isn't she beautiful..I know you can't see her face and all babies look alike. Right?
I'm so showing my age here....but who cares..lol...I had to share. Let me tell you how nuts it was.
I had to drive 29 miles, to be exact, to get where we needed to go. With contractions 5 minutes apart I didn't have much time. Almost not enough time for the epidural but somehow she got it. Much more than I can say for when I had her! It was too late and how's that for the first baby. You'd think I'd stopped there. Anyway, I drove anywhere, depending on school signs and intersections, from 40 to 80 mph and saw many cops. Now if that hadn't been an emergency you know I'd been stopped and ticked like one of my old posts! REMEMBER!!! I even flagged my arms out the window and no, not one bite. Thank God I wasn't being kidnapped! The only person who allowed me to pull in front of him was a very kind garbage truck driver who didn't mind at all. I had my lights going and horn honking........thank God I was in the Jeep too. The van doesn't have a horn right now. GEEZLEPETE! So here she is....I present to you little Mandy and we're just glad she is OK. She wasn't breathing at birth but I think she looks fine now! At least util she turns 16! Wow....more girls ;)

This is the most beautiful cake I have ever made. JK LOL. No. I actually bought it at Servattis bakery here in Cincinnati. Now Terra wants one in June for her birthday.
What will her friends think? She will be 15 years old!

I think she picked up the necessity to have reading material from someone and it wasn't me!

Ok 5 out of 5 sick kids but only 3 had to go to the doc and 1 actually made it to school! Now get this..... It was the high schooler! Wt\? How nice is that? How long will that last? lol Just a thought as I was sitting in the doctor's office with the 3 sick and had to share. ;)

Happy valentines day! I wanted to send out my love and hugs to all my friends and family and my tweeters!
I had a very chocolaty day and let me tell you I don't think I'll be wanting any soon.
I was supposed to have the entire weekend to do what I wanted...which was this! Blog! Write! Sit on my arsk and EAT whatever I want...no laundry..NADA! But..........................
my husband had to go to work for a bit and we all know in this day of everyone hurting financially you cannot turn that down. From then on I don't know what happened but I did get a couple of naps in and was fine with that.
The kids had so much chocolate it wasn't funny. I'm hoping to share on here if I can find the pic I have on my phone. The dogs had diarrhea so that candy not only came back to add up on my ass but to bite me in the ass as well...lol..but we all enjoyed our weekend. You know me..gotta string it out! Anyway, that's my "lover's day" and I'm thinking after 10 yrs. of marriage I'm lucky to get that! And of course, I did get some lovely roses...;) to go with all the happy little sugar buzzed little kids!

Why Do I Feel Like I'm Going To Die When Everyone Else is Sick But Me??

So here I sit on a Sunday afternoon still in my jammies. I started off thinking I'd get a good night of rest and got my shower. Lana Jean had been cranky all day but I thought maybe it was due to the smog alert and running around to Sam's Club, Kroger, Complete Petmart and a little hotel shopping for my dad who is coming at the end of July. It has been such a crappy week and I was just ready to get in some serious pool time with the kids so when I got my shower and nightie on I got into bed and heard a gurgle from the side of my bed and it was Lana Jean throwing up. She wasn't rolling over so I had to get her up and carry her into the bathroom STILL PUKING!!! God love her..never mind the fact I'm now stepping in it, my hair is hanging all ratted in my face wet and my hands are so smelly I can't even wash them enough to put them near my face, let alone my hair scrunchy! She reminded me of Terra when she was a baby. Screaming as if she'd been taken over by aliens or holy water was hitting her. After about 5 minutes of begging and pleading to let me scrub the "stuff" out of her hair I finally just went into combat mode and used my jammies from earlier to cover her eyes and clean her up. Thank God Tim wasn't sick at that point as he grabbed up the puked in sheets, evidently put them into the washer RIGHT AWAY since I found that "stuff" again after drying and putting back onto the bed. So after a whole night of doing that over and over, just Lana and I up, I get up to find Tim is puking, Tannah is ill and I'm thinking we have been invaded!! I call Terra to come home from a friend's house just to keep an eye on the little ones while I try to recover the home and notice I can't find her once she gets here. She is upstairs asleep FEELING ILL TOO!! OMG I'm so tired I feel like I'm going to die...lol...but I'm not the one who is sick...
