[emmarleigh]

Were expecting to get more today too. I just hope I can get out before it gets :yuck:

[Lolanae]

A little bit. She was diagnosed with lung cancer about 5 years ago. She under went surgery and we thought all was better. We were SUPER close (Like, she was the one person in my family I'd go to for advice and I knew she'd kick my butt anytime I messed up.). We thought all was better, but then a year or so later, it was back, and more of it. By that point she was not able to have anymore surgeries and she also had an anarysm in her stomach. She refused any other treatment at that point really.

Back in November, she had pneumonia. I sort of "knew" then that it was probably nearing the end. She never really got over the pneumonia. She had also lost the feeling in her hand by then since the cancer had metastasized to her spine. I was actually surprised when she decided to do radiation, but I know she hoped she could get her feeling back in her hand. Things went down hill from there. That's when I really started to prepare myself. I knew in my heart that there is no way in the world she'd want to live in the condition she was in. She'd already signed a DNR, and I knew if we even mentioned hooking her up to a machine she'd kill us.

It is still tough to know she's gone. I know it'll probably hit me randomly still for awhile. It's nice thinking about the good times. The old memories before she was sick. I do take comfort in knowing that she isn't hurting anymore. No tubes, no medicine, nothing poking in her, ect.

[emmarleigh]

:hugs: I really sympathize for you. They gave my grandfather 6 months, over 10 years ago. He has alot of liver issues. :( And now about 2 months ago he was diagnosed with leukemia. Hes going through chemo right now, and was just hospitilized for a pnemonia. Its so sad to think he might not be with us when Z is 2. I guess since hes made it this far I just never thought Id ever have to see him sick again. :cry:

I do hope I can find comfort in the fact that he no longer will be suffering or hurting.

Sorry that was long, but it does make me feel better, ive been so depressed these last few days and no one to talk to. :sadno:

[emmarleigh]

This is adorable! :wub:

http://hyenacart.com/prod_details.php?id=12674&vid=2001

[Lolanae]

Oh no worries =) Feel free to PM me if you need too.

Gma and I had many talks over the last few years. She was the first person that I told when I was preggo. I made her promise when she was sick that she'd live long enough to see me become a mom. She did. She was still "with it" to see Alison this time as well, which I'm beyond thankful for.

I can't wear the shirts for the old place she used to work right now cause it's just hard. Helping clean out her house has been a nice distraction cause I swear she has kept everything. It's been one large trip down memory lane.

[emmarleigh]

Has anyone tried these? They look nice!

:hugs: It kinda makes me glad he lives in Florida, because while Id go to the funeral I couldnt live close enough to see my grandma, i know shell be heartbroken. Theyve been together since they were 16.

[Lolanae]

Going to lay back down for a lil. Bbl

[AJ'sMama]

Morning everyone. :needcoffee:

I am not looking at any of those links, I will not do it.

Huge list today, will post in a bit.

[Lolanae]

BTDT with my great grandma after my great grandpa died. I understand what you mean.

[mtfbwy72]

Thanks ladies...
My Gpa is the one I go to also. He keeps me in line and tells me like it is and I do with him too. Everyone else seems to baby him because of his age.

Staying at his place when I was down there brought back so many memories and I think that's what is making it hard. I lived with him for a year after my divroce while I was getting back on my feet.

[mtfbwy72]

:hugs: Erin

[Kristen82]

Awwwe haircuts Rach? Dont you want them to be long-haired boys? :wub: :giggle2:

I gave Logan his first medium fade last night :giggle:. His hair is curly so I cant stand it when it gets too long, it will knot up too easy...that and he wakes up with a birds nest on the back of his head in the morning lol.

[AJ'sMama]

:hugs: for everyone dealing with losing a loved one.

I've been through it twice in the last few years. My great-grandma passed in an old age home at 85, and couldn't wait to go, and my grandpa about 4 years ago died of lung cancer. This was after battling prostate and brain cancer, so I think in the beginning we all thought he would beat it again. He also held on way longer than we thought as he was worried about my grandma and the stress it would cause in the family. He was such a gentle, wonderful man, it's still hard to believe that I can't pick up the phone and call him.

[AJ'sMama]

We've been taking AJ for haircuts every 3 to 4 weeks since he was 10 months old. He looks like a mini military man! His hair is fine and gets hard to wash when it gets long, not to mention he has like 4 cowlicks and they stick up all over the place.

[AJ'sMama]

To-Do List:
put away clean dishes
make bed
vacuum
wash floors
do 2 loads of diaper laundry
work while AJ naps
30 minutes on treadmill once DH gets home
make dinner - pasta with veggies and sauce
clean up after dinner
put away stack of papers/paid bills on kitchen counter

[AJ'sMama]

:giggle2: I feel ya on the birds nest. I have to drench Z's head every morning to brush it out and make it lay down. But I refuse to cut it. :giggle:

[mtfbwy72]

Don't tell DH but I ever so slightly trimmed R's hair the other day to give it better shape.

[Kristen82]

:giggle2: I feel ya on the birds nest. I have to drench Z's head every morning to brush it out and make it lay down. But I refuse to cut it. :giggle:
I waited until Logan was around 15 months or so before I gave him his first hair cut :giggle: I didnt want to cut off his curls. This is a few days before I cut it...I got tired of people asking me if he was a girl lol.

[Tamatha278]

:hugs: to all dealing with the loss of loved ones. My grandparents have always been the rock of my family. Only child, grew up in a broken home, watched my dad, then my first step-dad cheat on my mom, dealt with abuse from multiple sources, abandoned by my father, etc... not an ideal childhood, and my grandparents were the people I knew would ALWAYS be there for me. I stayed with them over the summers, they took me on vacations, they paid for special classes for me, they gave me my first car, they helped support me through college. Then my Grandpa got sick. He had several strokes over the course of 4 or 5 years, and by the end he could barely care for himself. My Grandma became his nurse, her whole live devoted to caring for him and meeting his needs. The example of wifely devotion she has set was inspiring, but it was awful to see a proud man reduced to sponge baths because he couldn't shower himself. He died 2 years ago, and I still miss him.

As for my day, I am really dragging today. We had a big cold snap come through last night, and my head feels like it is going to explode. I warned my hubby I'm not likely to get much accomplished today, and I'm probably gonna live up to that.

So here's my measly list:
-feed dogs
-shower (cuz I seriously smell bad)
-dress
-take meds
-stop at Panera and pick up 6 cinnamon crunch bagels and hazelnut cream cheese
-head to a women's breakfast at 9 (crap, I need to get moving!)
-pick up probiotic
-stop at Joann's to look at Lightning McQueen fabric to make sheets and a blanket for Trey
-home for lunch
-nap for the boy (and maybe me)
-clean bathroom

Ok, quick brag. I love this kid!!! We have a drawer in the kitchen that has "safe" snacks that he can have pretty much anytime. He has a small bag of chips from dinner last night in the drawer-a rare treat. This morning, he went to grab a snack and passed up the chips for dried cranberries! :D

Gonna go get moving. Hope this headache eases up!!

Don't tell DH but I ever so slightly trimmed R's hair the other day to give it better shape.

:muted: :giggle:

B had curls til we cut it in august.. he was almost 9 months old.. got tired of everyone asking what HER name was

hello HE is dressed in boy clothes with a boy binkie

The other day DH and I were at the mail with Abigail, she had a blue shirt on, but it had a big heart on it, and a purple soothie and was covered in a pink blanket and some women (who by the way though it was ok to lean INTO my stroller) asked if Abby was a boy or a girl. :rolleyes:

I bought myself a new pair of sunglasses yesterday. Its so nice to be able to look through them and not have to try to see through massive scratches :happyclap:

:thumbsup: I FINALLY, in my entire life, ordered my first pair of sunglasses. I can't see a dang old thing without my glasses on and because of the muscle problems I get bad headaches if I try to do anything without them on. So DH made me order some sunglasses when I ordered my new glasses. I can go get the sunglasses today (but it's overcast and snowing like crazy, what am I going to do with sunglasses :giggle:)

[Katie7617]

btw ~ Morning All, I feel all blurry eyed this morning. Abigail is still sleeping, DH is at work and Aidan and Madison are upstairs playing nicely for now. I have 2 more rounds to go on the first leg of this pair of longies I'm working on :goodvibes:

I'm coming down w/ a cold again! :sick:

Aw, that sucks, especially when all you can take is Tylenol and cough drops. I did use a saline spray when I was pregnant that seemed to help with congestion, have you tried anything like that?

[Katie7617]

That sucks April

When I was pregnant with Abigail it seemed like every time I turned around I had another cold. I hate being sick and pregnant :hugs:

[AJ'sMama]

Morning Katie! :wave:

AJ just ate a whole banana and is now working on three scrambled eggs! I bet he'll ask for "woe-dirt" next.

[ManniesMom]

I haven't Tara...I'm :nervous: about putting stuff in my nose! :blush: I will try it though. The OB gave me the ok for Claratin and Benadryl, so I've been taking those. Really only the Benadryl helps but then it almost knocks me out so can't take it during the day. :(

eta...EXACTLY Katie! W/ this one, I'm sick like every month or so!

[Katie7617]

Morning Katie! :wave:

:giggle: he must be a growin' boy. My kids ate their entire lunch yesterday and shock the **** out of me. They NEVER eat more than a few bites of lunch, then DH made pancakes, sausage and eggs for dinner and they both had THIRD helpings of everything. First time either of them willingly at scrambled eggs :D I'm so proud. :giggle:

btw I :wub: how AJ says yogurt :giggle2:

Oh, and did you see yesterday, Abby went to the doctor, she weighs 14lbs and is 22 1/2 inches :yay:

[emmarleigh]

April, have you tried vitamin C? It doesnt hurt, I was always sick while pregnant, and had horrible vomiting. :puke:

I would also drink a thing of OJ every morning. :giggle2: But it really helped my stomach feel better.

[emmarleigh]

:yay: shes a big girl!

[ManniesMom]

I'm impressed Erin...how big was this OJ container?

Hmm, prolly 16oz? :giggle:

Wow, that's a lot of juice. I would have :puke: immediately after drinking. :yuck:

Okay, got my first diaper load hung to dry. I'm tweaking my wash routine yet again, separating fitteds and pockets so I can use Oxy on my FB and softner on my B4s, and trying a regular wash cycle instead of a super one, much shorter. Gotta go get the floors done now, BBL :wave:

[Kristen82]

Ok someone give me a swift kick in the butt lol I cant seem to make myself get up and moving this morning. I REALLY need to go shower so I can run to the PO!

[emmarleigh]

So I was thinking last night, why cant I be as enthusiastic about dishes as I am about washing diapers, then it got me thinking how weird we must seem. Like wouldnt you crack up if you found a forum totally devoted to dishes? Where people where taking out of the dishwasher/RTG pics? Or "stash" pics. :rofl: im so stupid! :giggle2:

[sabrina_the_mommies]

hahaha Katie! I tried to put one on Sis & anything with velcro she insists is 'broken'

[Katie7617]

:gah: this lettuce edge ruffle is driving me crazy. First it wanted me to KFB, so I doubled my stitches, now it wants me to do it again. It's taking FOREVER :gah: Maybe the other leg will have a different cuff.


:giggle2: JKing, it will look oh so cute, I'll keep trucking on.

OMG ERIN! i seriously just laughed so hard!!! oh my i just loveyou.

We're back awake.

Got a poop question for the mamas that have started different types of solids. Alison had some beef pasta stuff last night. Well, this morning her poopy diaper was a brownish red. I'm guessing just from the spaghetti stuff and nothing to worry about?

Spaghetti sauce always leaves that reddish greasy residue on your dishes, just think of it as that. :yuck:

i'm surprised his fertility doc agreed to implant so soon. I thought all docs agreed that it was best to wait at least 12 months between pregnancies.

[Lolanae]

As much as I'm going to hate to do it cause they are super soft and squishy, I think I'm going to have to sale the ADG longies. They are still WAY too long, and huge in the waist. Ali will slim down more when she starts working more too.

Blah!

Wool question:

When I first washed the ADG longies, they dye bled, BAD. Like the entire sink was full of teal water. Now if you look closely at the longies they have a stripped look. Any idea? And if I do FSOT them, should I price them less? I washed them the same as my other wool.

I killed it!

[melinda3443]

OK I bought a dozen LL toddler size and 2 more toddler snappi's

[emmarleigh]

No a/b's here, but Id put Z in cloth regardless, yeast is nothing a little tto and vinegar cant get out.

[emmarleigh]

I need to get some snappis, mine are pitiful.

[emmarleigh]

BTW Mel- I used some wool wash on Z's hair last night. :giggle2: It made it really soft, and he smelled yummy!

I'm listing some EUC HTF GM's. Want to give you ladies first dibs....Woodland Splendor, Eclipse & Woof are going on FSOT.

[emmarleigh]

I did, his excema is BAD right now, and I didnt even want the suds in the tub irritating him. But I figured lanolin would only help his dry skin if the suds got on his skin. :lostit:

[Lolanae]

Afk for lunch.

I think I'm going to put up a new ISO/IHA list after lunch for some trades maybe.

[Lolanae]

Em, can you/have ya tried the aveeno oatmeal bath soak with him?

Well, that is a great idea and I agree, I think the lanolin would be great for his skin, and for the suds, it is all natural soy based so it is probably a lot better than some other things out there. ;)

We keep our downstairs heat set at 73, upstairs at 69 or 68 (2 different thermostats).

Well I finally went out and mailed my diaper :giggle: I need to go search for my to do list.

[Katie7617]

I think my cell phone is frying my brain! :banghead:

I just got off the phone with my sister and now my head is killing me. While DH was gone and we were talking on that stupid thing everyday I had bad headaches too. I haven't been talking on it since he got home other than a minute or two here and there and haven't had a headache like this for days. I bet the stupid phone is what is causing them.


btw, we don't have a home phone. Don't talk on the phone enough to pay for one :thumbsup:

Do you homeschool? :headscratch:

Not a bad mommy at all Rach, we all have the right to forget something from time to time. :hugs:

[army mommy of 4]

I was just thinking the same :giggle:

[army mommy of 4]

Thankfully DH just came home to bring me Z's carseat because he took him to school this morning on his way to work, and he agreed to take J's napmat to school on his way back to work :wub: Hes sort of a catch sometimes huh? :giggle:

[Katie7617]

Do you homeschool? :headscratch:

Nope. Aidan turned 5 September 14th and the cut off for starting kindergarten was September 1st. They won't let him in this year. Last school year he went to preschool here on post (when we was 4), and actually was going to the same class at the beginning of this school year. But it's at a daycare center and most of the kids in the class are 3, he was "helping" the teachers teach the other kids and he was bringing home the EXACT same projects as the year before. DH got promoted so we were paying twice as much this year as we did last year and he wasn't learning anything new and it was driving us nuts the way they treated him. So we pulled him out, and are putting him in karate and soccer and he will start kindergarten this coming fall at the age of 6. DH and I were always the oldest in our grade and I think it will be good for Aidan, he can be a leader instead of a follower. :goodvibes:

OK, that was a lot longer than I expected it to be. :blush:

I use the Aveeno advanced care (it's in the first aid section, not sure why :headscratch: ). It used to be called Aveeno eczema care, again not sure why they changed the name. It doesn't really suds at all...great idea about the wool wash though!

The dishes thing had me :roflmbo:.

You ladies are killing me with the enabling. All that yummy yarn :drif: :drif: :drif: :drif:.

I just got back from looking at the new apt and wrote them a check to hold it. Compared to where we are living it's a freakin palace!!! :yay: So I decided to sell a few dipes to recoup some of the money I have spent.

[Katie7617]

Oh, btw, I CAN NOT wait until Aidan starts kindergarten!!!!!


Not only will it be good for him and get him out of his shell, but he gets so bored here during the day and drives me CRAZY!!!! :giggle:

Were gonna be in the same situation with R. His b-day is 9/19. It's really sucks for them but at least our DS's will be extra ready for Kindergarten.

Black and gray stripes. Quite boyish IMO.

[Katie7617]

I had heard, but know how true it is, that they are talking about making the cut off in June or something like that. So your child has to be 5 before June of that year to start school in September. The teachers are saying that kids are just not ready for kindergarten before about 5 1/2. I also heard at some point that they were trying to make preschool state funded and mandatory.

I honestly think both are a good idea.

We have a state funded pre-K program here in FL. I think it depends on your income as to how much the state pays.

gotcha :thumbsup:

Ill have to double check what we use, its Aveeno -oatmeal something or another and says for excema. :dunno:

I believe there is a state funded program in this state too, but it is for low income families, and I don't think we would qualify.

My child is doomed to just mess up her face today. Same side she scratched now has a goose egg thanks to her opening the cabinet door while standing in FRONT of it.
