Sorry to keep you all guessing/waiting..

My sister forgot to pay the internet bill.. So we had to wait until she got paid to turn it back on! I think I'll take over paing the internet bill now!

But.. anyway...

I got a permanent teaching position for next school year! :)

i know, i know.

i know i said this was done..

but i just realized that i never posted anything about katy turning a month old on tuesday. that could be because i was in the hospital for something minor that happened after something major that will not be discussed in detail because i'm not comfortable with discussing this with the whole blog world. it has something to do with my health and it's something only my family and close friends know about. i'll tell you this- i had 2 surgeries within 2.5 weeks. june 3rd. june 21st. the first one was major. the second one, not so much. only a half hour surgery. to cut out the infected area that was in my incision. i'd rather not discuss what the first surgery was for at this time. maybe sometime when i'm not tied up trying to chase 2 energetic kids.. which really sucks because i really can't do much of that at this time. since the 3rd of june, i have spent a total of 8 whole days in the hospital and this past saturday i was admitted around 7 that night. we spent saturday afternoon in the emergency room. the doctor said their was no way avoiding it because they would start antibiotics there. they never did. the resident was in to see me about half an hour after i got there and said we'd be getting some scans of the area that was operated on and then they'd get me in a room. the finally got me in a room around 8pm and antibiotics were started immediately along with a bag of fluids. i got a dose of antibiotics every 6 hours and i was on constant fluids for 48 hours, i think. maybe a little longer. along with vicodin every 4 hours as needed and zofran every 6 hours as needed. zofran is for nausea. . not sure if you're familiar with it. it's a very strong drug. i was constipated and they weren't going to let me leave until i finally went, but ryan and i went downstairs because he wanted to get some coffee from starbucks, yes, the hospital has a starbucks right beside the family waiting room for people getting surgery. while we were down there we saw my surgeon going to talk with a family and he saw us and i told him that i still hadn't gone and he said it didn't matter. i was leaving. i had 2 suppositories. an enema. laxatives. greasy food. miralx. nothing. it did nothing. i finally went when i got home. and now i'm fine. i go back next thursday to get my stitches removed.

that's all for now.

ok, so i said i really wasn't going to discuss it.. but whatever. gave me something to do since i really can't do too much.

!!!

i just have to share this good news...

anyone wanna guess?

the end.

i'm sorry to say it, but i think mommy moments is coming to an end. i can never find time to post.. so my dear friends, goodbye. i'll post every now and then just to update and i'll still read all your blogs, so i won't be away for good. i just have my hands full.. and it's summer. maybe a post every other week? once a month? i'm not sure yet. who knows.

and, happy birthday to my sweet little girl who's turning 5 today! i love you! :)

New

We haven't changed the living room around since before Christmas. We had to change it around so we could fit a Christmas tree in there.. We rearranged it tonight.. Tell me what you think.

Old Living Room-

New Living Room-

Maybe I'll get around to doing the kids' rooms since Preston and Abbie's are upstairs so Katy could be downstairs so we wouldn't have to go upstairs at 2am with very little sleep..

*Update*

I just went back and looked at the pictures I had done of the rest of the house back in August. If you look at our room and our bathroom, it looks like the door to the bathroom doesn't match up and the window looks into Abbies room (I think) .. If you would turn it vertically, it would. But it was easier to do the picture in horizontally. You can go look at them if you please.. I'm too lazy to go link to them. :)

beach. sand. sun. ocean. backyard bbq's. late nights watching the sunset. most of all- fun times!

June 11, 2007

This is 2 days late. but life has been busy.

when i was 20, i became pregnant. on november 2nd of 2006, i lost that precious little babe. that precious little baby was due on june 11th of 2007. 2 days ago he/she would have been 2. the five of us spent the day remembering him/her.

here's the original post i wrote back on november 2nd of 2008-

Cherish each and every day you get with your children. Some parents don't get to meet their children. Some have their children only have their children for a short time. While you may be laughing with your child, another family is crying without theirs. I'll be completely honest and open about his. Two years ago, when I was 20, I got pregnant. It wasn't planned. But it wasn't prevented. At 8 weeks into that pregnancy I lost the baby. It was one of the most difficult times of my life. I never talk about. I don't like to talk about it. But today is exactly two years since my baby went to heaven. I may sit outside in the yard and cry today. That's exactly what I did that November 2nd of 2006. At that very moment I wanted to die. I thought my heart was torn out of my chest and run over by a truck. So every November 2nd I think of my precious baby I never got to meet. Every June 11th, I think of by precious baby. S/he was due that day. I cry each day. This past June 11th was pretty tough. My baby would have turned one. I know I have two other kids. I know I'm only 22. But that baby will always have a special place in my heart. Each and every day after I miscarried I cried. I just wanted to be alone. June 11th of 2007 was so hard. I just wanted to die. That was the day my baby was due. When I watched this movie, I cried. I went outside today and wrote November 2nd, 2006 on it. I released the balloon. I'll due the same each year. I'll do the same each June 11th. Just please, cherish your kids. Let them know that you love them and want the best for them. As they grow older teach them right from wrong. Tell them how proud you are when they do good in school. Make them think positive. Even though I didn't get to meet you, I love you. I'm not the mom on 2. I'm the mom of three.

^update: i'm not the mom of three. i'm the mom of four.
