This may be upper middle class to cave dwellers or people in third world countries. Heck, maybe even some homeless folks right here in our country. I am thankful for what we have.

Uh-ohhhhh...more preggos. Just test for the heck of it. BF'ing too....hmmm. Never can tell.

I'm kinda looking forward to going back to work. I have to do something to get back down to normal human size.

Dammit I need chocolate cake.

I just ignore my dad. He's anal too....not sure about an actual poop schedule though.

Oh the chocolate cake, come to me my sweet, precious, delicious, decadent provider of all love and nourishment!

I am finally sending the letter of "how great this nurse was" from the last baby! I am so ashamed that I didn't do it sooner. It is addressed and stamped and everything. Going in the mail today.

Take a pg test!!!!!

I try to stay away from chocolate cake or I eat too much of it also.

MarieJ, I'm sorry about your mom. Tomorrow is the 2nd anniversary of my Dad's death. The anniversary dates are difficult, aren't they?

I suppose it's my fault if you're pregnant huh?

I have never lost anyone close to me, so I can't relate about the death anniversary. I'm so bad when someone looses someone too, I never know what to say that's appropriate. *hugs* for both of you though!

I bought b6 and unisom today, I'm tired of being sick all day. Now I'm just a little sleepy. lol

We got forms for the kids for a reading club. They fill out the hours that they read then they get a discounted 6 flags ticket. What good is it to bring a 5 year old to six flags?? Especially MY 5 year old. What rides would they be able to go on, or even be not afraid to go on? Maybe it's more kid friendly than I remember, the last time I went was when I was in 8th grade haha.

Those anniversaries must be hard

Marie, hope you feel better.

I am staying away from chocolate cake, my mom gave me a scale since she had 2 and I didn't have one. Thanks...I think

I am going to have supper at the Olive Garden and then going to the Broadway show CATS. So excited!!!

yeah, anniversaries of dead parents suck. The whole month before sucks, too. Fortunately the pain is nearly non existant after ten years, but those first five hurt. I'm a sick downer aren't I? Gonna go find some regular soda Coke for a pick me up

Not a sick downer at all, just normal I'd say. You should have some chocolate cake with that Coke.

Little debbie cupcakes are just as good as cake. I love those things. Or maybe a hot fudge sundae with real whipped cream, cream not oil! LOL I would prefer orange soda over coke actually.

I always feel guilty when someone loses a parent they love dearly. My parents are both the biggest idiots I know and I don't have any idea where the brilliance that is me comes from. I wish I could give one of them up so someone else could keep their good ones. I know that is awful, but it is how I feel.

Little Debbie's are NOT the same as this scratch chocolate cake. Not even close.

I had some chocolate torte. Yum

If anyone wants my dad they can have him. I am not fond of him, but someone else may be. My grandpa (moms dad) was like my dad. He passed away 10 years ago.
I always like to think of him as up in heaven hanging out with my kids who are yet to be born, and my angel baby, saying, "Really, where does this line end?" LOL

I don't like Orange soda either. You'd think with every thing I don't like I'd be thin...hahahaha.

I bought paint for the boys room yesterday. LOL. Bathrooms done, need something to occupy my time.

Enjoy dinner and Cats!!!

My husband's parents are total rejects. All his siblings, even though only 1 is full blooded, are illiterate rejects as well. Well except for David, he's just illiterate lol. His girlfriend is a piece of work though, she goes out at least 3x a week to drink, that's expensive! He's a good dad. It might be because Rob was raised by foster families most of his life that he's not like any of the rest of them. Guess that's shows nurture over nature lol.

My parents are alright they try their best. Maybe my dad doesn't try as hard as he could to see the kids and us, but he would never turn down a visit or a holiday for scheduled poop or anything

I'm so sorry, Marie and Sarah. I dread losing my mom. I don't think I'll feel whole after she is gone. My dad and I aren't close thanks to divorce and a crazy step-mom but I know regret for what might have been will hit me hard when he's gone.

Holy Crap, I never thought about the weird dreams being pregnancy dreams! I had another one last night but I'm not going to repeat it. You guys will think I'm preggo for sure, lol!

I need to check my closet. I may have a left over test in there. If I'm sick again tonight between 6:30pm-8:30pm I'll take a test for sure! A bfp right now would be the ultimate in bad timing for soooo many reasons and would make all my work this morning obsolete.

And yes, RM, this will all be on you if I get a bfp!

I didn't get any chocolate cake today but I did have some yummy cheesecake!

How was Cats? I'd ask about Olive Garden but I'd rather you didn't rub it in, lol!

My parents both have issues which is why we were never close. I was close with my grandpa and I know it still hurts even after lots of time has passed.

Plumbers are showing up tomorrow to fix a leak. They have done 3 patch jobs on a drain pipe and I think we are at the point where it needs to be replaced. Last time they were here it sounded like a huge deal. Like jackhammer to the tile and concrete huge deal.

I lost my mom 11 years ago last month and the anniversary of her death is still really hard (especially this year with the early pregnancy hormones) I spent a lot of the day crying I miss her a lot and it makes me sad she never got to meet any of her grandkids. Plus there are so many questions I wish I could ask her now (she had 7 kids).

We are suppose to leave Friday for MI and I have no energy or motivation to clean the house or pack Plus I have to have the house clean by tomorrow afternoon because DS#2 has his early ed specialists to come work with him.

I'm so sorry, Ruth.

I kinda feel sick but now I don't know if I'm sick sick or crazy because I've been thinking about it or if there really is a chance. Either way, I'm picking up a test when I take Milly to her Dr's appt tomorrow.

hey girls-I get really mad that my mom only got to meet my first LO, he was 4 months old when she died suddenly. Not sure if I told you about her. Maybe she sent my other four babies to me, right? Great moms are hard to lose.

dh and I are getting a day sitter and driving 5hrs to the city on Saturday, sort of a date-day! Olive Garden is on our list and we're looking at vehicles for each of us. Friday Joey turns 7mos and Saturday makes 5 years that mom died. Its a pretty significant weekend. I'm doing okay right now.

Ruth, do not clean for people coming to the house. This is coming from someone who had autism therapists in her house 30 plus hours a week. Those therapists do there job messy house and all. They certainly didn't think any less of me having a dirty cluttered house because they are my best friends now (like I'm a matron of honor best friend and she wants me to nanny her kids someday). I didn't hide anything from those girls (kinda impossible when they were at my house so much). They saw me at my worst and my best. I don't think anything that happened shocked or surprised those girls. They see so much in their jobs and I assure you that even with a a messy house you will be looked at as supermom compared to some of the awful situations those girls see.

MTT6 - I will be checking all day to hear the results!

Marie - I hope your date-day brings a smile to your face this weekend.

Plumbers should be here in an hour. Please, I don't want a disaster. Let this be a somewhat easy fix. Dh has been out of town teaching the last few days so I am on my own with getting this leak fixed.

I think I feel a bit better today. I have a headache though.
I want to go to the store and get some stuff to do some projects around here. We'll see how much energy I have after therapy.

I always clean the living room before therapists come, possibly the bathroom and kitchen if I have time. I hate dogs so if I had to go to someone else's house and sit on their dumb dogs hair I wouldn't be so happy, so I do the same favor for the therapists that come. At least they're not covered in mutt fur when they leave.

So much for my kinder, gentler week. I just had a spit flying fit at the two oldest. They were still asleep at ten and i flew into a rage. #1 was sent to bed at 8 last night bcause of attitude. i dont think it helped. she also has the sheets and blankets on her bunk to make a wall. i tore all that down. it was a snake morning i guess. i just figure if i can be up at 41 and 9 mos pregnnt, so can they. i just furious with them.
