I couldn't take it. I bought a wii today! Toys R Us had a GREAT deal going on and if I bought this bundle I got the wii for $99. Awesome! I am getting ready to clean up the house so Ryan can hook it up tonight. We got one game with it, but I want to go to blockbuster to get a few more (and try to find the bowling game & mario bros game). I LOVE MARIO like you dont even know lol. I'm also hoping to find a wii fit on black friday. We shall see :). |

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.
If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies; Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway.
-Mother Theresa |

Right now my husband is at home depot buying me the supplies for this, and some nice new thick wooden blinds, etc. b/c I'm tired of my house being frumpy. I saw the idea on www.frugalcouponliving.com and I am in LOVE. LOVE LOVE LOVE! It could keep me so organized, especially when it comes to the bills! I am pumped. We are also going to replace my kitchen floor and paint the paneling on my break in a few weeks. I am soo excited! :D

I think that if you breastfeed, insurance should cover a boob lift. And one of the sides of my stomach is more saggy than the other- thank you 3 babies.
I'm having a very high self esteem day- can you tell? |

Ten Reasons I can't/won't drop out of nursing school
(although it's crossed my mind a bazillion times):
1. It would disappoint everyone around me. My husband, my mom, my grandparents, etc.
2. This should be number 1...but my kids. I wasn't meant to live on C Ave. for the rest of my life and they weren't meant to go to trashy schools. Enough said.
3. I would miss my friends. Nursing school has created some bonds I know will last forever- and without those 28 people all encouraging each other, I have no clue if I'd still be in this or not.
4. I'm halfway done. In 10 months I'll be on my way to taking state boards (NCLEX..eek!) and becoming a real life RN.
5. I will not be strapped financially anymore. We have a big family and don't make a ton of money- this will be nice.
6. Getting to help people. Even in clinicals I know I am making a *tiny* but very meaningful difference. There's no feeling like it.
7. What else would I do with my time?
8. The arrogant attitude that we SNs have at A.I. We know we're the shit, so take a big wiff.
9. My mil might kill me after the $120 stethoscope she bought me *hehe*
10. I know I've said it before, but my family. I am doing this so that my kids can have whatever they NEED as they get older. A bigger/helluvalotbetter house, better schools, etc.
and on and on. It's about actually achieving a dream that I've had my whole life and never thought I could do. I went into college just trying to do something "easy" that'd make so-so money. Now I KNOW that I am capable of going through nursing school** and making a LOT of money someday. And after I graduate this and get a job, I plan on getting my BSN/MSN to really make big bucks. It'll all be worth it someday :).
**nursing school is the hardest thing I'll ever do. I have a whole new respect for nurses...a whole new respect... and a new respect for nursing school... it's HARD- if it weren't, they'd make $12/hour and everyone would be nurses. |

It’s sad when people you know became people you knew. When you can walk right past someone like they were never a big part of your life. How you used to be able to talk for hours and now you can barely even look at them....
that is all for today.

| Ryan's 1st cloth diaper experience... |

So ever since I brought up using CDs with Ryan he's been all for it. The first day I thought for sure he'd be like "I don't think so" but it was really cute he goes "Well what do you if they pee in them? How do you change them? You have to teach me." So I've been giving him little instructions, etc on how to change them, etc. Well last night when I went to the BFing class I just left him with B in a disposable and told him not to worry about it because he was still new to the idea. Brennen wore 2 last night and I put one on him this morning when we went to the Y and now I am completely out of them. Well, I found some covers that I had bought when I was preg with Kylie (I had fully intended on CDing her and never went through w/it) so I washed those up (they're really cheapy ones) and told Ryan before I left for the store today how they worked, etc. Well I was gone for like 2.5 hrs b/c my mom and I went shopping then we went to her house to get some stuff, etc. so I got 2 phone calls from Ry that I missed and when I called him back he goes, "ok so what do you do when the kid shits all over these?" And I just busted out laughing b/c of course he would get the gross poop diaper (B hasnt gone in 2 days lol) when I wasn't home. Well he was a champ he left me the diaper in a bag on the back porch (thank you hunny) but he DID put Brennen in a CD all by himself! I was so proud! I got home and cleaned the diaper out (it really wasn't that bad) and then just threw a load of dipes in the wash anyway (incl the new ones I bought last night at the BFing center! so we can try those tomorrow yay!) and threw it in...it was no big deal. But I was so proud that he put one on him (granted, he had no choice) but he did it. He told me it wasn't that big of a deal at all and he was getting the hang of them and thought they were a really good idea. This is the guy that freaks out about the parabans in his own shampoo so you can imagine what he thought when I told him all baby washes/shampoos have parabans in them (goodbye johnsons & johnsons *sad face*) but I gave him a paper on CDs that I got from the class last night and he read it and said that's BS they put stuff in BABY diapers. These poor babies come into the world au natural and then are put in chemical filled diapers and given chemically produced "milk" in chemical filled bottles... ew. Just another reason why I hate the FDA :o). Anyways...just wanted to share the hubby's experience with them. My mom laughed when I told her b/c the same thing happened to my dad (only he was dealing with a diaper you had to fold 800 times and diaper pins...and poked me a few times haha) so she felt his pain.
Ok I'm going to bed... I'm praying my new dipes come in the mail tomorrow!! We shall see.. |

Bubba woke up dry as a bone today! I was so excited that his jammies weren't soaking wet!! Lol... sorry, it's retarded, I know- but I think I'm getting the hang of this :o). We are almost out of reg. diapers too so it looks like I won't have to shell out $30 for another box! I have a few left that I'll keep around for church, etc. but since I am staying at home and have no excuse not to spend 2 extra minutes to deal w/the cloth I really feel like I am rewarding myself for this lol
On another note, Ryan told me to go ahead and do the 3D ultrasound. I wasn't really waiting for his "approval" so to say but I've been slacking b/c I don't really want to spend the money and he was like "just do it, it's your last pregnancy and I know you've wanted one with all 3, just do it" so I am going to schedule my appointment today for sometime next week! I don't know if he'll be able to go with me or not but we're going to try to do it for this Sat or next Mon when he's off so we can go! If he doesn't get to go though (he was forced to work today, who knows if he'll be forced next Mon) then at least we will get a video and he can watch it... he hasn't seen this little one in real time yet (or on u/s besides the pics) so I think that's better than nothing.
Anyways- I can't believe I'll be 30 weeks this Saturday! THIRTY FREAKING WEEKS! I am in my third trimester now (eeek!!) and time is just going by so fast (yet so slow at the same time). I am getting anxious for my water to break and for me just to go into labor and get the show on the road! I am pretty much anti-csection this time around and am going to try to avoid it at basically all costs. I really want to try a VBAC and see how it goes. We'll see though..my mind could change closer to D-Day.
So spongebob just say "You are freaking worthless and have no freaking life." Is that appropriate? I am bothered by some of the cartoon language these days and the way they say stuff. I was also watching Drake and Josh last night and Drake said "I'm tired of that shit," isn't that ridiculous?!?! It's supposed to be a freaking KIDS show! I know D & J is a little old for Kylie but she loves that show...I guess we'll have to really watch what she watches. I never really noticed these little things but the tv is on all the time whether someone is watching it or not and I catch these things.
Anyways- this Fri is my mom's work picnic at Clay's Park! Ry, of course, has to work so the kids and I are going with my mom and dad (and brother probably...ugh). I'm really excited, we love Clay's Park...so that'll be something to look forward to. I have to take my gma to a dr's appt tomorrow, a BFing class on Wed, I'm going with a friend to her WIC appt on Thurs, and then Fri is Clay's Park! Always something...good thing I don't have to drive to Clays Park though...so much for saving gas money hahaha. J/k.
I'm off to do laundry and feed the kids...
