Hidden blessing

There is a girl at my work who I love to death that recently lost her baby. She had just announced it to the team that she was expecting and w/in a week the heartbeat was gone. She had a Molar pregnancy (http://www.webmd.com/baby/tc/molar-pregnancy-topic-overview)In her case she had 2 sperm enter 1 egg. I keep on complaining about A keeping me up at night and her stubbornness. Today my friend asked me how I'm doing and I said "tired, A has been sick and is not sleeping well" She looked so sad. All I could think of saying was "Maybe I should count my blessings". She smiled and took off. Here I have this beautiful baby that drives me crazy because she is so dang smart and all I do is complain about never being able to sleep and my friend would do anything to be able to have the same complaint. I do love my baby even when she is teething and has a runny nose and refuses to take naps so she cries and cries unless you hold her. The worst part is as A is getting closer to her first birthday The Husband and I are talking about when to have a second child and my friend has to wait a year to even try again.

Scentsy...

So I am selling Scentsy to get the product at a better price. Only problem I am NOT a sales person and hate pushing things on people. I LOVE Scentsy. It is the best alternative to a candle in the world. Mine is on all of the time. I would love to get some opinions on how to broaden my clientel (sp). https://sarahfoerster.scentsy.us/Home

bright eyes

I love this little girl!!!

C-ism...

Today The Husband and I went with C and A to the Church Distribution Center to buy some things. As we were there wondering around trying to find out sizes and checking out scripture prices (because we have still not bought B his scriptures for his 8th birthday) and looking at wall art of the Temples to hang in our home (someday) C started to get a little antsy. This is the following conversation...

Co: Sarah, Sarah. My eye is broken!
Me: (not even looking at him) Oh know which eye?
C: This eye, Sarah.
Me: (still not looking) well cover up the other eye so that one can get strong and get all better.
C: But Sarah, it's broken I won't be able to see where I am going.

Little crazy boy...

Happenings of the week...

Last night I went to the ER. I am fine. They did a CT scan if my abdomen and nothing appeared out of sorts. I went to the ER because I was in my kitchen getting a drink of water for C and there was suddenly a sharp shooting pain the knocked the wind out of me and I fell to the floor. It was in the area of the appendix so we waited about an hour and it happened a couple of more times and so we took off. Again nothing was wrong just some stupid pain with no answer.

I am getting my IUD taken out tomorrow. I am slightly nervous because I do not want to be a mother again right now. Eventually sometime this year we will be trying for another baby but not right now. The reason I am getting the IUD removed is I have been reading up in it an I am not the only person that has gone crazy. Mothers have noticed an increase in mood swings, depression where medications no longer help, extreme tempers, and inability to loose weight. I am tired of weighing anywhere from 160-180 lbs depending on my water retention of the day. I was 180 at the time Miss A was born and 9 months later I still feel pregnant. So long story short in the next few months I am probably going to be expecting another child.

I have decided that I really want to do clothe diapers but no one in the world of child care will do the clothe diaper thing. Next baby I am definitely going to try the clothe diaper thing. The Husband and I have already agreed that I get to stay home after the baby is born and I will be able to not worry about what day care providers are annoyed with my choice to be a hippie. Maybe if I just get a couple and use them on Miss A when we are at home and use disposable when we are out and about. One of the big things is the amount of laundry that you have to do. Well I have 3 other kids to do laundry for, what is 1 more load going to matter?

Going green

I have a friend that told me about gDiapers. today I am going to go look at them at babies r us. Maybe some day I will get the guts to go semi clothe. Kinda scared to make the change though.

F/up from yelling at the kids

So the children told their teachers what their mother did yesterday. M is terrified that her mom is going to find out she told her teacher what happened. I told her to not worry because her mom will think it was me and The Husband that did it. I have also scheduled an appointment for M with Mary Kay, our WONDERFUL family counselor. She is AMAZING!!! I think the best part is that the children trust her 100%. They have no fear with her. How can a person hate themselves so much that they treat an inocent child so horribly?

This is why this blog is private...

So today The Husband had court. Psycho now has visitation until 8:30 on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Psycho is to be given the children after he has been at work for 4 hours but here is the funny part... The Husband is only allowed to contact her through email. The woman does not own a computer let alone have the internet. Her parents do not have a computer at their home so if The Husband were to even try and say it's been 4 hours come get the kids he can't because she has no way of receiving the emails. Oh and did I mention this was HER request. Also she does not have a full time job and she has not filled for Social Security Disability and she was supposed to have one or the other done by the 31st of December. This woman gets away with everything! I am so sick of Utah and the stupid bias towards mothers. She is sick in the head and has no clue what reality is. She has seizures and lies about them to get a drivers licence.

After court today Psycho went to the school and started yelling at the kids. Telling them that they need to stop listening to me. That I am evil. Miss M started crying during her recess and all of her friends started asking what is going on. B was upset because he was pulled out of a soccer game to be told to stop listening to me. This whole thing is pure crap! B said something that set off Psycho and it was all taken out on the kids. Come to find out the whole thing is because I went and got C a build a bear gift card for Christmas and funny thing is we were at the mall at the same time. I am a liar because if I had actually been there she would have felt my evil spirit. BAH!!! Evil spirit THIS!!!

So finally tonight I asked the kids if there was something I can do to be a better parent. B said I cook more. M said you can't be better I like you the way you are. Makes me feel good that they say simple things like that.

Quarters

Today I changed diaper bags and discovered a rather large stash of quarters in one of the pockets. I started thinking "why do I have so many quarters?" Then it came to me, if I ever have a quarter I aways throw it into a pocket on the diaper bag so when we go have dinner with The Husband at the mall they can have a quarter to get a treat from one of the quarter machines on our way back to the car. Why do I do this? I remember always wanting to get a toy or candy from the quarter machine growing up but never did. I know it's pretty much a wast of money but there is something about the fun a child has knowing they were good at dinner and earned the quarter and get to look at each little machine to pick out the perfect gum ball flavor. Oh the simple joys in life a quarter can bring.

Corbenism

We are riding in the van and C and B are in the back. B is playing his DS that he recieved for Christmas and C is really trying to get him to pay attention to him and not the DS. The following conversation takes place...

C: I am sexy. B do you think I'm sexy?
B: Sure whatever.
C: B, do you think you are sexy?
B: Yes.
C: Do you think I am sexy?
B: Yes.
C: B, you is so GAY!!!

She does have Hair!!!

Miss A's hair stands up ALL of the time. She has this nice little puff ball on the top of her head. So because she is always being called a he I decided to try putting little pig tails in her hair. BARELY worked...



She looks like a little bug, LOL.
