Can you believe it is 10/10/10?!?! Another 100 yrs before that will happen. I hope nothing weird happened today that I just haven't heard about yet. Again this am J was whiny and not behaving well. A was eating well and J wanted fruity pebbles too but I guess he thought I put too much milk in his bowl and he was not happy and wouldn't eat... He also wasn't minding D this am so he had to stay home from church. Linda's back was hurting from picking up J yesterday so she didn't go to church with us.
Dad & I dropped A off at her classroom and enjoyed church service by pastor Chuck on the 1st chapter of Romans (~ vs 8-17). Chuck has a good memory - he remembered Dad lives in MO! After church I gave A the option of going hm w/GP or staying & going into another SS class for 2nd service. She wanted to stay. Dad went home and I chatted with the Dangels. I attended the class with about 35 others! (Theresa is in the class too.) I really enjoyed the class and look forward to the others. I am bummed I will miss the 3rd class which will be a "meat and potatoes" class compared to today's introductory class.
I got home and Dad had made fresh vegetables, sauted with shrimp and chow mein noodles. It was really good. It didn't need soy sauce on it but I love the salty flavor... :)
About 1:15 I was super tired and went to lay down. I know that Dee came over around 2. I didn't get up till about 3:30 - ahhhh.. I had a piece of Dad's homemade bread - :). The kids seemed to be pretty whiny so I wanted J at least to take a nap before AWANA started. He didn't want to go to bed. I guess A's head hurt so she went in and laid down. They both ended up falling asleep. Dee had to leave around 4 to go p/u Gianna.
I went in to wake up the kids at 4:45 for AWANA but A's head still hurt and she stayed in bed. No AWANA tonight. Kim came over close to 5pm. A got up at 5pm and went to Aunt Kimmie to be soothed. Aunt Kimmie was able to get her to take some medicine and also put a bag of peas on her head. I went in at 5:15 and woke J up. It took him a while to wake up but he finally did and wanted to ride his bike. I went with him till dinner was ready.
We had easy garlic chicken, mashed potatoes & gravy, asparagus & black olives. Delish! The kids basically only ate so they could have black olives... I put them both in the bath but they weren't there long as they, again, were not getting along. I had them brush their teeth, put PJ's on, and I read them a couple books. Aunt Kim said her goodbyes to the kids as she was leaving. I asked D to make sure the kids had gone to the restroom and to read a book J picked out. He did and put them to bed.
I started reading Strengths Finder 2.0 by Tom Rath. I kissed the kids goodnight then took my assessment on line. My talents are: Adaptability, Empathy, Harmony, Consistency & Positivity.
It is 10:45 and A just woke up wimpering. I hope her head isn't still hurting her. She went to the bathroom and went back to bed and is quiet. Maybe she was just wishing she didn't have to get out of bed to go to the bathroom...???
I printed out a report from my test so I might read that a bit before going to bed. :)

(Writing on 10/10 for yesterday...) I woke up early wanting to go to WalMart and Darin mentioned going as well. However, J was in a mood. GP made a lot of yummy pancakes for b-fast. :) D walked over to Vons just with A to go to the bank. He picked up milk and eggs while he was there.
Linda &I ended up taking the kids to WalMart to get some items including a gift for Alex (Alessandra). A saw a classmate who was there buying a gift for Alex as well. The party started at 11 but we didn't get to Nobel Park until about 12:30. The kids had a good time with getting their face painted, hitting the pinata, playing on the playground, eating cake and getting candy and party favors. I had a really good burger while I was there. Some of the kids were going swimming afterwards but we didn't have the kids suits.
I was so tired when I got home that I had to go sleep. I only laid down for about an hour and I kept hearing the kids arguing so I didn't get much rest.
I dressed A up as a princess and took her (@ 5pm) to E Clmt Baptist Church for dinner, Veggie Tale movies & crafts. I came home and Dad had made my recipe for fish with sour cream & dill. I hadn't made it before but it was so good!
We put J to sleep before picking up A. I got her at 8pm and she was ready for bed. I don't remember staying up late last night so I think I made it to bed around 10 or 10:30...

Boy, even with it being darker out in the mornings it seems like the kids (&Darin) wake up earlier! D got in the bath & A asked to get in with him then J asked to get in with him. D was out before the water was done running!
D & A left around 6:40 am. J wanted to take his cubby book to Ms. Teresa's but not his blankies. I saw the lamb out in the garage and had aleady put Jake in the car with his door closed, so I put the lamb up to the window like he wanted in. Jake just laughed and when I gave him the lamb he just hugged it and laughed. :)
J didn't want me to leave until Ms. Teresa asked him if he wanted to go on a walk - YEAH!!! I got into work a little earlier than my usual 8am, 7:45. Kim brought us over some goodies for Halloween time. Christina and Cindy got big Halloween mugs filled with goodies. I got a Halloween bowl with 2 dish towels, 3 small candles, a spider candle, stickers, and some goodies. It was such a busy day today with a fellowship mtg, MD appt, CF team mtg, urgent rqst from ML to put in ck rqst for translation svcs for CFFD tomorrow and let him know he wouldn't be getting paid tomorrow. MSP had urgent rqst for mtg for the CF site visit. It was so busy I hardly got to read any emails or EPIC msgs. Christina told me that she feels as though I have been gone 3 days now - I feel that way too. I got the ok to do some work tomorrow if I have the time.
Sad news today - there was a shooting at an Elementary school in Carlsbad. The 2 kids were brought to CH. I only know about a shooting in the arm so I don't know if both kids were shot in the arm. I just pray that they are ok and I am grateful for the construction worker/s who stopped him. Who knows what damage he might have done.
I bought airline ticket to Chicago for the fellowship conference (which will be 10/25), paid for hotel and registration.
We got home and D & A were here. A got out left over taquitos and I made J 2 hard eggs & a slice of cheddar cheese. D&I had an egg sandwich. I took the kids over to the Beatty's for Bible Study at 6:30 pm. I was with the kids tonight (along with Donna). They played, we did a little Bibe study, the kids watched Lilo & Stitch 2 and played some more. A fell asleep at 8:30 and the study was over about 8:40pm. J had a HUGE cookie (I helped him with it) - we LUV chocolate chip... :) I woke A up and had her go to the bathroom before bringing them hm. D carried her straight to bed when we got home. J seemed full of energy but went to bed ok. :) D went to bed too! It is 10:50. I should be thinking about going to bed but I don't want to yet...

It's my birthday! WOW - 43 now... :) I got A dressed and breakfast. D took her to school. Dee called and sung happy b-day to me. Mom called asking about my day. I went to Doyle from 8-9:15 or so for a parent coffee where the principal and vice principal talk about what is going on.
I got home and Dad had been playing riding bikes w/J. D came home and pumped up my tires. I called Mom back who asked me over for breakfast. Dad said he would continue to watch J as D was in our bedroom working and/napping.
Mom had made eggs with red peppers, toast with jelly, fruit cups, & crispy bacon - it was a really good breakfast. She gave me a card with a painting of Elim Chapel on the front, a little zip wallet from Morris, IL and a CELEBRATE plate. :) I said hi to Grandma while I was there too. I got back home about noon. Linda had made rhubarb cake and it smelled so good! Dad had walked to the store with Jake and got some milk and ??? They said that J had eaten lunch aleady and had eaten well.
At 1pm we all laid down for a nap. D woke me up around 2:30 asking when they had swim (swim was yesterday) and he went back to sleep - thanks Darin... I heard J up with GP so I got up too. I typed up my CF mtg minutes from September as the next is tomorrow! J was on starfall.com during my time on the computer. D had left around 4 to pick up A and at 4:40 I had J get off the computer as she was due home any minute. When A got home I got J ready (he had gotten himself undressed from the waist down which isn't unusual...)
We went to Moonbeams from 5-6 (Gabriella was there). We came home and Linda had made chicken rice casserole for dinner - it was so good! I opened my present before we started eating (2 sets of PJ's which I love!) I read stories to the kids (while they were eating some more). We had rhubarb cake with the hot white sauce - oh I loved it! J liked it better without the sauce.
D had the kids brush their teeth and put on PJs (I helped J). They didn't go to bed as easily as I thought they would but I sang to them a SHARK song they learned at Moonbeams today. After singing that a few times they went to bed pretty easily.
I was really looking forward to watching a Netflix movie mom gave me to bring home and watch - Letters to Julia, but it wouldn't work - it is a Blue Ray. :( I checked my FB, did a Word Challenge game and did the best ever on my 1st try so I stopped and checked my work emails till 10:45. It is 11:15 now and I need to get to bed!

Darin was up at 5am. I told him if he wanted to go to work early I would take A to school since it is Wed. D said he was going to put a lunch together for A (he thought it was 6am). He stuck around and took A to school himself.
I had some bfast w/J then we played a couple games of Don't Break the Ice. J played about 15 min on the computer while I cleaned some then he started playing with legos. D could see that I was really tired so he offered to watch J while I laid down again. It was 9am. I remember waking up wondering who turned the light on but it was light outside and I was wondering why it was light outside. I looked at my watch and it was 9:11!! I napped till 10:30. D and taken J outside to ride his bike. J&I went to Party City and picked up party stuff for A. We came home and had lunch. J had egg salad and was finished before we even sat down. We had fried egg sandwiches - even D came home for lunch! D went back to work. D&L, J&I drove up to Mira Mesa looking for a WalMart Supercenter - it was a wild goose chase. I called Angelica Saldana and she confirmed there was no D&L had drove separately so J&I left and went to p/u A from SAY. I saw Ms. Archuleta first and I am not listed to be a volunteer yet. A, J & I came home. We were here long enough for A to eat some of her sandwich, we had banana & nuts. We then went swimming. J did not want to go at all - boy was he throwing a fit. He was fine within 1-2 min after being in the water. He was swimming, waving to me, jumping in from the side... A always likes to go swimming and she was doing very well today. I was amazed at how fast she was going while doing the "Dolphin" swim (she had goggles and fins on.) She was fast but she kept having to stop because she kept catching up to the girl swimming in front of her.
I had them shower and change and we came home. D&L still weren't home. I had just looked up my recipe for fish with sour dill sauce when L called asking about dinner. They ended up getting toquitos for the kids and burritos for the adults. Of course I got a carne asada - YUMMY.
The kids took a quick bath, brushed their teeth, got their PJs on and we watched the 2nd half of Bedtime Stories - :). They went to bed easily. D&L watched Undercovers. I watched it while checking my emails. Darin got hm at 8:40pm, ate his carne asada burrito and went to bed. I am earlier than most nights - it is only 9:18 right now! Not sure if that means I will get to bed anytime soon...

I believe we got to bed at about 11:30 last night - not as bad... :) I don't think that Darin slept at all - he said not till 6am then J came into our bedroom at 6:22. He got in our bed and I went out and woke A up so she could have b-fast. J came out soon after and I heard D in the bath. He came out stating he had to leave so to hurry and get A ready. This is the 1st day we didn't make a lunch for her. D said this was rediculous trying to get A to school in time. They left and I called SDUSD transportation and was told to call Doyle directly. I called Doyle and lvm for a c/b.
I took J to Ms. Teresa's (he thought we were going to "his house" though) so he wasn't happy. He was fine soon after getting there though. I had a very busy, very productive day at work but didn't get done till 5:05. I got J and saw Michelle there. She isn't too happy with having Cheyenne there. She is only 18 mos and cries from the time she picks her up till the time she goes to bed. There isn't any discipline at Ms. Teresa's so whenever she doesn't get her way at home she throws a screaming fit.
J&I got home and D&A were already home. :) D&L made homemade pizza and boy was that delicious! D went to bed (at least doing computer work as he has to present on Friday.) We had ice cream for dessert then J&A took a bath. GP read stories to them then they went to bed. I checked on A around 10:30 as she had been coughing and she was sleeping on the floor. I put her back in bed. We watched NCIS (2 of them), The Good Wife and some news. I was busy catching up on my yahoo emails during that time. It is no 11:25 and probably time for bed (D&L just went to bed).

D woke up at ~ 6:25 and took a bath. He came out at 6:45 and was wanting to hurry A to school and she wasn't even awake yet! He woke her up. I had her clothes set out (pics today!) and had made her a simple lunch last night. She got dressed and I brushed her hair and she & D were pretty much out the door. She didn't even get to see GP before she left!
J saw my egg salad sandwich in the fridge and wanted some of it. I made him 1/2 sandwich and he gobbled it down and wanted more but it was time for us to leave by that time. I dropped him off at Ms. Teresa's and went to work.
Nothing really big happened at work today. It was a good day, busy. It seems as though I am starting to catch up more and more. Since the meeting with Rachel I have been given a new duty of getting prior auths for CF lab tests. They are kind of time consuming. I was told it would be rare for me to get them but today was my 3rd or 4th request in about 2 wks time. Darin called me from home during his lunch. He doesn't like the fact that nobody seems to have time to go out and get a simple cup of coffee or jamba juice or whatever. It would definitely be nice if there was more camaraderie.
I picked up J and he had 2 small yogurts then came home and had a guava. He wanted more guava before he finished his first one! I didn't let him as D&L were making dinner. Fried potatoes and onions (delicious!) and fish sticks - YUM! I made some tarter sauce to go with them. D & A got home soon after we started eating. Everyone ate well.
I ran over to the church real quick to turn in my 2nd hat and to be shown again how to start a hat. I started another baby hat and was informed that they were trying to finish 150 hats for the homeless in 1 wk. I took dark brown and green yarn and other things I needed for an adult hat. When I got home the kids were ready to brush their teeth and go to bed. They both seemed to have more energy. A had told D she just wanted to go to bed when she got home and she had been very whiny at the dinner table. I had put her in time out for her gremlin and said that she could come out early to finish eating so she could just go to bed early. She told me she had changed her mind and didn't want to go to bed early. (She was just about ready to come out of time out when I left to go to the church.)
We watched Chuck. D&L & I had ice cream. D had yogurt. We watched The Event. By the time that was over I had finished the baby hat! There was another show on and I started the adult hat.
It is 11:30 and I am going to bed!

10--03-10
I can't believe D&I stayd up till 2:30 playing Bookworm! We probably would have played longer but we were kicked off the site! (I think there is a limited time limit for trialing the game.)
I got up around 7:15 and the kids were already awake, so was Dad. He fed the kids breakfast while I got dressed and ready for church. I had to look up on the the story for today. I was able to make copies of a drawing and get a craft together for the kids. (D&L will go to church w/Kim at the Rock @ 10 am.)
We only had 3 other kids besides J and one of those was a 4 mos old. Mr. Peek came and sang songs today which was very nice. It seems like it has been so long since he came. The Dangle's weren't at church today as they were at the air show.
J wanted to ride his bike when we got home. D was watching football. I took the kids to Jack n the Box and we got 9 Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers and 2 lg fries. The kids each had 1/2 and quite a few fries. D ate 5 burgers! We had 1 burger and fries leftover so we took them to Ms. Sue but she had already eaten. We visted a little then took the burger and fries to Jeff. :) J then wanted to walk me to "his house" which is far away from here. Any other day I would have put him to the test but I was tired so after a very short walk we came back home.
When we got home D was on the computer and ready for A to watch Barbie Mermaidia. I got a computer ready for J in case he wanted to do Starfall.com. It was 1:30 and I went and laid down till 3:30 when J woke me up because, "Daddy made me cry!" :( A was watching Lilo & Stitch for the 1st time.
J wanted to ride his bike again so I went out and picked some apples. The kids got a piece of cheese too and before we knew it, it was time to go to Awanas! I had been having A listen to the CD and I put it in the car on the way over too.
Laurie and Peanut were getting registered for Cubbies but A was so sad that L agreed to put her in A's class. Laurie stayed with then. J was sleeping when we arrived and wanted to cling to me during the songs. When they were dismissed they told J they would be playing in the sand. I told him I wouldn't be playing in the sand so he finally/reluctantly let go of my finger.
I stayed in the car catching up on my Bible Study until it was ready to get the kids. A wasn't herself but wanted an icicle that was for sale. I had no money so Ms. Laurie got one for A & J. Just before we got home A said she felt like throwing up. She got home ok but once in the house she was wailing in pain pretty bad. She threw up. D got her in a bath then she was able to go to bed pretty easily. Jake went to bed easily but around8:30 he ws crying and I wasn't sure why.
I turned the fan off in their room, put a shirt on him and so far so good (10:46). I made egg salad (with help from Linda who made it taste more like deviled eggs) and put a sandwich as wall as a small bag of carrots in her lunch.
Tomorrow is pic day at As school so hopefully she feels better tomorrow. I have clothes for her to wear pu.
I thought I would have time to watch another Miles McPherson "Royal" but I am on the nods now.
Night!
I got up around 7:15 and the kids were already awake, so was Dad. He fed the kids breakfast while I got dressed and ready for church. I had to look up on the the story for today. I was able to make copies of a drawing and get a craft together for the kids. (D&L will go to church w/Kim at the Rock @ 10 am.)
We only had 3 other kids besides J and one of those was a 4 mos old. Mr. Peek came and sang songs today which was very nice. It seems like it has been so long since he came. The Dangle's weren't at church today as they were at the air show.
J wanted to ride his bike when we got home. D was watching football. I took the kids to Jack n the Box and we got 9 Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers and 2 lg fries. The kids each had 1/2 and quite a few fries. D ate 5 burgers! We had 1 burger and fries leftover so we took them to Ms. Sue but she had already eaten. We visted a little then took the burger and fries to Jeff. :) J then wanted to walk me to "his house" which is far away from here. Any other day I would have put him to the test but I was tired so after a very short walk we came back home.
When we got home D was on the computer and ready for A to watch Barbie Mermaidia. I got a computer ready for J in case he wanted to do Starfall.com. It was 1:30 and I went and laid down till 3:30 when J woke me up because, "Daddy made me cry!" :( A was watching Lilo & Stitch for the 1st time.
J wanted to ride his bike again so I went out and picked some apples. The kids got a piece of cheese too and before we knew it, it was time to go to Awanas! I had been having A listen to the CD and I put it in the car on the way over too.
Laurie and Peanut were getting registered for Cubbies but A was so sad that L agreed to put her in A's class. Laurie stayed with then. J was sleeping when we arrived and wanted to cling to me during the songs. When they were dismissed they told J they would be playing in the sand. I told him I wouldn't be playing in the sand so he finally/reluctantly let go of my finger.

10-02-10
YEAH - It is Saturday! I made blueberry, banana & pecan pancakes - YUM! We took A (&J) to PCP ofc to read her TB which didn't take long - we were done by 8:50 am. We went over to have D's car checked out for his air conditioner and found out that they will order the part and when it comes in then they can fix it.
When we got home A, J, Dad & I walked over to a garage sale and bought popcorn, rasberry lemonade and a St. Patrick's Day wreath (for Mom). The kids then went in the jacuzzi while D played lifeguard. I sat with Dad at the kitchen table and played a couple games of Word Challenge on FB. I got off as soon as the kids came in.
Dee, Jared & Kedric came over. D went to take a nap. I let J&A take turns on the computer (Starfall.com) until it was time for lunch. D&L made tacos which were sooooooo good! Kim called right when we were eating and said she was on her way over too! There was just enough left for Kim & Darin. :)
I laid down for about an hour while D&L, K, D, J&K tried to play cards. J&K kept arguing, not listening, etc... so they didn't play cards afterall. I got up and Jared showed A how to tie a shoe. J got to fingerpaint while A watched Barbie Nutcracker. I read a couple stories to A. D, J&K went home. A drew on her big princess activity book. I gave J a cookie sheet full of shaving cream with a couple drops of blue food coloring and he mixed it all up. A joined him and they were trying to draw shapes, letters, numbers. :) I put them in the bath then. :) I got out face paints and drew a heart on J and a butterfly on A.
D&L went to 99c store & CVS to get aloe vera (for burn relief) and more shaving cream (for me!!!) We had hotdogs for dinner. J (then A too) was pretending to fall backwards on the couch every time Aunt K blowed at them. They were having fun. :) D played with the kids for a while. We were working with A on sight words, having her draw them on her stencil Dora thingy.
Kim left and boy was J trying to get her to stay - even had her try out his bed to sleep with him tonight! He was telling her how he lives somewhere else, far away, and has 5 motorcycles and a car. He does have an imagination! :) D read to the kids while I made A's bed (I had washed her bedding today.) Kids brushed their teeth (they were both pretty whiny - so I said they would have to go to bed earlier tomorrow night). They went to bed pretty easily.
D dished me out some ice cream (Rocky Road) - yum!
It is only 8:45 right now! I was up till 1am so I wonder if I will get to bed at a decent hour tonight. I am hoping to watch at least 1 episode of Chuck off Hulu though. D&L are watching videos they took from the air show yesterday. Linda's sunburn still looks really bad.
More later!

10-01-10
Darin & kids woke up early again. J stayed dry... :) YEAH! (He has been having quite a few incidents of wetting himself at night.) D was in a rush to get A to school. He thanked me for making her lunch last night. I got her homework together as it is due today. D woke L up at 7:15 so they can leave early for the air show.
I took J to Ms. Teresa's. He has been saying pretty much every am that he doesn't want to go there but he was happy before I left and was blowing me kisses. :)
I had a pretty good day at work today. I found out that Dawn Breisch's baby shower was at noon today and I wasn't aware of it. (I'm not sure if it was for Rachel too or not.) Dawn invited me in but I didn't go - I had a mtg to prepare for at 1pm. The food didn't come! I finally got Rosa on my cell - she had delivered to DR C! She wasn't going to bring it over but Rachel got on the phone and then told me it would be delivered in 10 min. I had checked in the am and double checked after lunch and my location was 3101 Berger Ave - not DR C.
I had a good day. Christina was in today but boy her voice is raspy! :) I got off at about 4:45 and went and got Jake. He was happy (eating ice cream) but ready to go right away. We came home and rode our bikes in the driveway for about 15-20 min. I put on the WIGGLES and A&D got home before it even started.
D&L got home and they were tired and sunburnt! They said it was really hot out there, they didn't have sunscreen and it wasn't as good as the last time they went. They had to walk about 2 mi too. They won't be going back to watch again on Sunday. They weren't hm long before they left to pick up a light bulb for Dee's van which Dad plans to fix tomorrow.
I had the kids eat some sandwich & apple I brought home from work and we left at 6:15 for the Bible Study @ the Beatty's. James was there - it has been about 9 mos! We started in Romans today and it went well. Jake came out for a little bit and just sat on my lap. He had me take him to the bathroom and he stayed inside to play. After the study James told me some details about the 5 different times he almost died - and the coincidence that he has 5 sons (one was born just before he was discharged.)!! He mentioned that he was given a medicine that was to stop his heart - it was painful but not effective enough so that was 4ml so they upped it to 8ml and that stopped his heart...
Kate had made some yummy pound cake and once J started eating it he kept wanting more. A had 1 1/2 peices. A was super tired. We came home and ran into Daddy's arms, brushed their teeth and went to bed. D&L were watching a CSI show and I checked emails. D&L & D all went to bed. It is 11:30 now and I want to try out a game again that I saw on Facebook last night. Something like "Word Scramble".

9-30-10
Back to work today. Darin woke up really early and so did Alexa. I had forgotten to put her SAY shirt in the dryer so I got up and did that. A was already at the table eating breakfast and it was only about 6:20. Her shirt wasn't quite dry before they were ready to go.
Jake woke up a little before they were ready to leave and he sat down to eat b-fast. It was early and he said he wanted to ride his bike. He was already dressed but just needed to get his shoes on. He got his shoes on and ended up doing something else. We were ready to leave a little early and when he saw his bike in the garage he wanted to ride it. I let Dad know that he was riding his bike and he came out and took a pic of him which turned out real cute.
![[100_1348[3].jpg]](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_oTUdUbpFovg/TKSqp0qeVPI/AAAAAAAABvM/T3RvYcm3nGs/s1600/100_1348%5B3%5D.jpg)
He was good at putting his bike away when I said it was time to go. On the drive to Ms. Teresa's house I was telling him how I loved the sky - dark sky with some pink, some blue skies and some really white, bright light. It was beautiful. I was saying, "Thank you God for the beautiful sky!" Jake repeated me - so cute!
Jake didn't want to stay at Ms. Teresa's today but she changed his mind when she asked if he and Lily wanted to go on a walk. He said, "Yes, that would be nice." :) As they walked out the door he told Lily that he liked her. He is so sweet.
Tuesday and today I took the back way into work without having to get on the freeway. It ends up being faster - only about 15 min and I don't have to worry about bad traffic getting off 163. On the drive into work I saw lightening! At work I heard thunder most of the day. Once it was super loud and made me jump a little! I like thunder too.
Christina was sick so she went home at noon. She sounded really bad so I told her to take her germs with her! She mentioned that she would have gone home earlier except that she is by herself at her home and over the weekend she had seen someone who ended up breaking into her neighbor's home and beating her.
I had a meeting from 12-1pm and I was so tired - it was difficult to stay awake but I did. I came back and had lunch so I got back at 1:30. The phones were busy! As soon as I was about to finish up with one call another one came in... one after another after another after another... I was able to take care of them all though. I can't believe that Dr. Lesser got a complaint from a Mom who never wants him to see her son again - he is so nice! Oh well, everybody has their right to their opinion. I had the powers that be fix it so that nobody will ever be able to book that pt w/DL again.
For being by myself the afternoon went really well! I was able to get off at a decent time - 4:38pm and went to get Jake. He was still sleeping and it was almost 5pm! Ms. Teresa told me that he and his little friend didn't want to take a nap earlier so they were both sleeping. I woke him up and he was tired! Right when we got home D said he had just picke up A and said he would drop her off at Moonbeams. We basically told GP hi and bye and were off!
Peanut and Laurie were there at Moonbeams. They say their pledge and then do crafts. D dropped A off when they were almost done with their 1st of 3 activities (2 drawings and a craft). Tonights craft was making a "person" out of a small empty water bottle. We had baked potatoes with chili, cheese, sour cream, garlic bread, fruit and a cupcake. After dinner we stayed for learning 1 song and part of another. I think they are planning for a Christmas choir as the songs are Christmas or "Chrsistmasy" songs.
Laurie said Peanut would be at Awana's on Sunday. I brought A&J home and they both played with their puzzles. They brushed their teeth and I read 2 books and put them to bed ~ 8pm. D was already asleep in our room! J got up at 9 stating he didn't want to sleep. I put him in a bath and he was ready for bed about 10 min later.
It is 9:17 now and I should try to do some Bible study as I didn't get to it last night.

09-29-10
Ahhhhh... Wednesday and I have the day off. However, the kids decided to wake up early still. :( Alexa had a nightmare around 12:30 or 1 am, and mentioned something about a kid who got hit by a car in the street. She stayed with us in our room. Jake woke up around 4:30 or so and I took him to the restroom and went back to sleep in A's bed. When they woke up the both came out to the living room and started screaming, crying, yelling oh my....
They both got a spanking and got sent to their rooms. A was Ms. Grumpy all morning after that. Jake was a little grumpy but fine for the most part. I took both kids to Dr. Gandhi's @ 8:15 this am. A got a TB test and we need to remember to take her back to the office by 9am Sat.
Jake got a prick on the finger for a blood test which showed lead level of 13 when normal is 10 or below. I was given a Rx for more lab work to be done. We dropped A off in Ms. Archuleta's class (she was being a pill...) I let J go to the playground but he didn't want to be there very long - maybe 15 min.
When we got home I looked through the pprwk A was given to bring home yesterday for selling gift wrap and other items. There are some things that I would like. :) I called HELP desk a couple times but was finaly able to log onto CITRIX! It also has Meditech, Chartmaxx, etc...!!! :)
Jake played on the computer for quite a while again today. I believe this was only his 2nd time playing on it but he was hooked - he didn't want to get off. He got off when it was time for lunch though - even though he didn't want to eat. At about 1:30 I took him to LabCorp for his blood test (D&L went to the newly revised Target). J wasn't thrilled about getting poked again but he did good.
We picked A up... (still a pill), played on the playground for about 20 min and then went to swim. We were there early so they played on the playground for another ~20 min and then they swam and they both did well. J didn't want to go swimming but A did - but they both did good. :)
Got home and the house smelled so good! Linda had started pork ribs in the crock pot this am. I put the kids table outside and worked w/Alexa about 30-45 min on homework. She did very good! Darin was working late so we all ate and it was YUMMY!!
Darin got home around 7pm. Earlier he said that his co-worker had mentioned the likelihood that the vitamins we give the kids have lead in them. I looked up Lil' Critters Gummy Vites and found an article that mentioned they were tested and do have lead in them! A&J won't be getting them anymore!
A&J go to bed pretty good now. They both took a bath, no stories tonight though. I was beat. I need to start going to bed earlier. I haven't even been doing crocheting this week or doing my Bible Study with the ROYAL...
It is 11:11 and I might go try to read some in bed. I believe Darin might still be on the computer in our bedroom. If not, I will go to bed. :)

09-28-10
Jake woke up about 5am - Darin got up and found that he had wet himself (even though I had taken him to the bathroom when I went to bed last night around 11:15.) D got in the bath with him then he came to bed with us. He was awake a while then fell asleep finally. Alexa was still sleeping and I had to wake her up to get dressed and eat. Soon before she was ready to leave she went into our room and then, all of a sudden, Jake was awake.
I took the back roads to work after dropping J off today. I got there about 10 min earlier than taking the freeway yesterday! I had a pretty good day. I hate it when I get short with people. I got short with Cindy and apologized. I had a Supervisors mtg - soon we won't be able to wear open toe shoes anymore.
I was informed I have access to Citrix at home. I was able to get online tonight but had to register and was informed I would have to wait about 6 hrs before trying to log on.
When I got home Dad & I started making baked tofu and then since it wasn't making very much he suggested making panninis - YUM! Both turned out pretty good (Linda didn't like the tofu - the kids didn't eat it either). Darin really liked it and I thought it was ok.
I am trying to teach the kids John 3:16, "Jesus loves me", phone #, address, etc... :) Alexa wanted to watch youtube song "Connected" from Barbie movie "Diamond Castle." Jake wanted to watch something too so I gave him the option of "Who Let the Dogs Out" or "Peanut Butter-Jelly" and he chose the latter. :) It was the first time Dad had heard the song.
I read and had the kids brush their teeth and go to bed. Helped D make lunch for A. D&I went to WalMart and got A a new backpack and sandwich tupperware container. We got her a couple things for her b-day too. D&L were watching a few things on tv and time just slips away! It is 11:30 already! I didn't even do any Bible reading today. :( Night!

When I got home Dad & I started making baked tofu and then since it wasn't making very much he suggested making panninis - YUM! Both turned out pretty good (Linda didn't like the tofu - the kids didn't eat it either). Darin really liked it and I thought it was ok.
I am trying to teach the kids John 3:16, "Jesus loves me", phone #, address, etc... :) Alexa wanted to watch youtube song "Connected" from Barbie movie "Diamond Castle." Jake wanted to watch something too so I gave him the option of "Who Let the Dogs Out" or "Peanut Butter-Jelly" and he chose the latter. :) It was the first time Dad had heard the song.
I read and had the kids brush their teeth and go to bed. Helped D make lunch for A. D&I went to WalMart and got A a new backpack and sandwich tupperware container. We got her a couple things for her b-day too. D&L were watching a few things on tv and time just slips away! It is 11:30 already! I didn't even do any Bible reading today. :( Night!

Alexa and Jake are so smart! They are quick learners. I was trying to teach J new verses this am and he was doing pretty good but kept wanting to sing John 3:16 which was the most recent one he learned.
Today was a super hot day. We had A wear pants because of gym class (which I don't think they had because it was so hot) and we had her take an extra bottle of water with her.
She did really well minding today and even wanted Darin to ask the ladies there at SAY. They confirmed that she did well minding. Go Alexa! That's mybaby big girl!
Today at work was the first time we shut the blinds because it was hot! We kept them closed all day and had the air conditioner on. I kept wondering how J&A were fairing. When I picked J up he was fine even though it was pretty hot even with fans on. When A got home she said she was hot at school too.
D&L went out and bought sandwich makings. It was yummy and it was nice not having to cook anything. I left at 6:35, got gas and went to church but the Hands & Hearts ministry wasn't there. Either I was too late or they called it off because of the heat. I will have to try to start another hat on my own.
I watched Dancing with the Stars with D&L as well as did quite a bit of my Bible Study for my "Core Group". The name just changed 2 Fridays ago from Home Fellowship... I couldn't find my sheet from ROYAL. It is 11pm now but I was thinking of looking it up.
Darin had a good day at work today - PRAISE GOD! I pray it will continue! Tomorrow he will have lunch with Jacque and Bob. :)
Lord, teach me how I can love and support my family more. :)

J woke up yelling something at 4am. I went into his room and he said that he didn't like me, "You threw my bicycle in the water." I let him know that I didn't do that but he was pretty adamant that I did. I let him know that dreams seem very real (this is the first dream that I know of that he has had) but that his bike was in the garage - safe and next to my car.
I woke up this morning thinking of something I read recently about having reverance for the sanctuary. I tried to make it a point to get out of the door by 8:15 with the kids dressed, me dressed nicely - including nice hair and some make-up on. I was able to get the kids to eat and got us all ready by 8:15. I actually got the kids to their classrooms and was in the sanctuary before any prayer or singing began!! (Right before...) :)
I hadn't seen Cathy or Erin in so long and I gave them both a BIG hug before we sat down. We started in Romans today. The Dangels had plans after church so I stayed and let the kids play back on the blacktop with some jump ropes. We got home around 11 or so. Boy was J excieted to see his bicycle. He again told A how I had thrown it into the water. (I had to explain dreams again...) I told D about it and he thought it was classic - also glad the dream was that I had done it and not him... :) D&I watched the end of the men's v-ball and Jennings & Wong took the gold!! (I haven't watched v-ball in forever!) That ended at noon and A wanted to watch Barbie and the Nutcracker. I put it on for her, made us all some P&J sandwiches and laid down. I got up around 1:40.
At 2pm I took the kids on a "Color" walk to the park. On our walk we were looking at anything/everything and stating what we saw that was red, purple, pink, orange, black, green, brown, blue, yellow, etc... :) It was fun. They had a good time playing. We walked home and got back around 3:30 or 3:40. I read quite a few books to the kids, made quesadillas and left around 4:30 to take the kids to Awana's. They were having a hard time with electronics so they started singing late. I stayed as Jake was clingy and the ladies were aleady trying to keep the kids entertained until the singing began.
I got home around 5:30 and did my ROYAL Bible Study on line with Miles McPherson. I finished around 6:45 when D left to go p/u the kids so I started cleaining the kids room. I got it looking quite a bit better. A & J brushed their teeth and I tucked them in. A got a new SPARKS book that came with a CD so I let her listen to that in her room a while.
D scooped us out some ice cream - YUM! It is quite a warm night so I have a lot of fans on in the house. I turned the one on in D&L's room as they should be home sometime tonight. It is 8:43 now and they haven't gotten hm yet.

Busy day as usual yesterday. D took A to school & I took J to Ms. Teresa's. At work it was the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new bldg - Pt Care Pavilion. Cindy, Christina and I all went and got a free pancake b-fast. We were there from 8 to about 8:25 and they still hadn't cut the ribbon so we missed that part.
We had a CF team mtg in the afternoon so I took minutes. Dad called me at work and said that he would make cinnamon rolls for me for tonight so I wouldn't have to stop somewhere to buy dessert. Soooo awesome! :) I worked a little late but was able to get J and be home by 5 or 5:10. Linda had made pork burgers for dinner - YUM! I had 5 leftover boxed lunches but forgot to bring them home. D & A got home right when we were ready to eat. D's presentation went well. :)
Right after dinner I helped clean up some then took the kids (and the cinnamon rolls Dad made) and we went to the Beaty's for Bible Study. :) We were there till about 9:20 and all the rolls got eaten.
The kids went to bed pretty easily as they were pretty tired. They have been going to bed better lately though. It has been nice. D&I stayd up to just past midnight...
This am we worked on the computer and ate bagels or cinnamon rolls before D, A, J&I headed to LJ Shores for clean-up day. We helped clean up from about 9-9:35 and picked up 1/4 lb of trash. We turned it in then let the kids play on the playground and then in the ocean. We got home around 11am. D&L had just spoke with Kim and will be driving to Santa Barbara today to surprise Jacob tonight. He is doing a commercial tonight and is a tad nervous about it. I hope it went well.
After lunch of refried beans and cheese quesadillas D&I were tired! A & J wanted to both sleep in our room so I had them sleep apart from each other. A kept waking me up and finally she got a spanking (1) and my anger was a little over the top. She ended up falling asleep in her room. I rested some more before getting up. D&I were able to talk some about how to try to improve things at his work before A woke up. She didn't apologize for her behavior even though I asked her to. I think that tomorrow am I need to ask for an apology myself. I did tonight - while she was sleeping... :) For dinner D&A went & picked up Hins. Everyone ate well. We watched the 2nd half of Bedtime Stories and had popcorn. The kids brushed their teeth and went to bed.
D&I had ice cream and watched the first 2 episodes of this season of Hell's Kitchen. I took a bath and put some pics on Evernote. Today is my 2nd month on so I have more memory now. :) It is aleady 11:20 now. There is more I wanted to do too! While D&A were out. Jake & I had some jello and I was reading to him from the Bible - the 1st wk of the ROYAL study (from The Rock). I would like to watch the 2nd part of that but it is a little too late now. Hopefully tomorrow.

Back to work. :( Darin dropped A off (I put my volunteer ppwk & TB copy in A's red folder). I dropped of J and got into work around 7:50am. What a busy day! I am still waiting to get caught up. It has been 1 wk since my mtg with Rachel and Stephanie Paul. I was a bit bummed this am first thing though because I got a pissy call from Yoly. She has been like that quite a bit lately. Later I got another uppety call from Robert Cox about adding lines to the Research lines. What is in our drinking water?!?!?
I got off work right at 4:30pm (even though that is right when Dr. Park came down to ask for help with his computer - Christine helped him- oh yeah, he is supposed to be on vacation still too!) Anyway, I picked up Jake. D&L had picked up A (whew what a relief!) I swung by home and got A (she had to change as she was in one of her princess outfits). I took them to Moonbeams where they made "Universe in a Bottle." Darin came by then Theresa came with Niko (it was their first time - they came to watch A&J till we got back.)
D&I went to Doyle to Parent night. That went ok. We were the first to leave though as I wanted to get back to the kids. Theresa had them in her van watching a movie! :)
We brought the kids home and I read to them. I have been singing John 3:16 to them a lot because A needs to know that in Awana's in order to get her vest and book. D&L had picked up Gianna and her friend from the ranch so they got home right as the kids were going to bed. They were able to say their goodnights to GM & GP and they went to bed good.
D&L had brought home some ckn sandwiches which D&I shared Dad's and he had leftover goulosh.
It is already 10:32 and I need to do my Bible Study - doing my first wk of Miles McPherson's ROYAL. :)

Got up around 6:10 this am as I had to be at SMBHW at 7am. D&L dropped me off. I was at least able to get the kids b-fast before I left. D took A&J to school, dropped J off then came to the hospital before I was taken into the sugery room. Dr. Shay was my anesthesiologist and Dr. Colleen McNally did the procedure. It was over within 1 hr (I love the warm blankets they put on!) Darin brought me home around 11:30 and I rested for about 1 hr.
I got up and had a jello D had went out and bought for me. I didn't have any medications - no more Motrin than what they had given me while I was under anesthesia and no Vicodin. I didn't feel any pain except for when I first came out from being under. My outer thighs were sore and that's because they said they had me in a "YOGA" position for about 1 hr! (Not much bleeding either - YAY!!) I have a f/u w/McNally in about 2 wks.
Around 2 I had cantalope, toasted bagel and apple juice. Mmmmm :)
Dad made a type of goulosh tonight that was really yummy - as well as his homemade garlic bread... YUM!
Dad, L & I had ice cream too - we all had different kinds. D bought me rocky road, L had choc chip & Dad had cookie dough. :)
I did a lot of surfing the net - reading Facebook, speed typing, ziplist, and getting a little more up to date on my Yahoo emails.
A&J both went to bed pretty well. They didn't eat too much so I just had them get in a bath and I read stories to them.

Today was red shirt day at A's school so she wore her pretty red shirt. It was also gym day so she got to wear her brand new princess tennis shoes that Daddy got her yesterday while we were at church. Daddy took her to school and I took J to Ms. Teres(a's. (J has been wetting himself a lot lately. I got up and took him to the bathroom around 11 - he had fallen out of bed - so he stayed dry all night!!!) He has also been wetting himself during naptime at Ms. Teresa's. Not sure why he is regressing except for the new changes w/A going to school and not being with him at Ms. Teresa's.
Work went ok. It was really busy as I was trying to get the Oct calendar done. We had Kathryn (Kat) Coverston come in for her first day of work to help with the Fellowship. She needed help getting the process started to get her ID & badge. I called the Sharp Hosp anesthesiology nurse who went over the things I need to know for tomorrow.
I got Jake ~ 5:10 and we came straight home. D&L got here about 5:30!! D&A came home then. :) What GREAT timing! I ran over to the church w/A while dinner was in the oven and learned how to finish off my first hat!! YEAH!! Some little boy or girl will be a little warmer in the cold weather. A got to hold Linda's Dotson while we were there.
We had pork ribs, beans & corn, garlic bread and broccoli & carrots for dinner. YUMMY! I got the kids ready for bed while D cleaned up the kitchen some and got A's lunch ready for tomorrow. I then finished cleaning the kitchen to my liking. Took a bath - Ahhhh... :)
Had good time chatting with D&L! It is 11:33pm and I need to leave the house around 6:30am!

I have never blogged before so we will see how this goes. Not sure if I will keep it up or not. I will start with yesterday. Darin couldn't sleep so I had to take Jake to daycare and Alexa to school. Alexa was happy to see Ms. Teresa but asked if she could stay there all day. When we got to the school we saw Noah (such a sweetie) and the kids had breakfast together.
At work I had ameeting with Rachel and Stephanie and it went very well! They are going to be taking such a load of work off of us. It will be so nice to get caught up on our work. I was training Cindy on some new duties that she would be doing and I noticed that I was late for my appointment for my pre-op appointment by about 5 minutes already so I just grabbed my cell phone and ran out the door. I still had my head set on and got a blister on my left foot. They wouldn't see me till everything was paid in full and I had left my cc back at the office. I was really upset and Brenda Bates saw and came and talked with me. Darin then called right before I got back to the office and said that he was going to file a complaint with the ins co. I went back at 1pm for the appt so my surgery wouldn't have to be cancelled. Darin called the ins but found out that offices can request payment in full before they will see patients.
I had a good rest of the day at the office. I worked till about 5:10 and then picked up Jake. We had left over manwiches and then we went to the Bible Study. I thought it was at Chris and Brian's but it was at the Beatty's home so we went there. The kids did really well. We read about Lazarus and the rich man who died and then we watched a video of it - talk about bringing it to life! By the time it was over the kids were so tired they just wanted to go home and didn't want any dessert! I said I would bring dessert next week so that I will be sure to go!
TODAY!!
Darin took the kids to their dental appt at 9am so that I could stay home and do some cleaning. It was a pretty laid back day. Darin rested while I fed them lunch and let them watch the WIGGLES then I rested while the kids played together. They marked each other up pretty good so they took a bath and came clean. (They ran around the rest of the night naked...) I made Jake's bed and still need to make our bed and the bed in the pink room.
We had an early dinner - I made Taco plates (included leftover taco meat from when K&J were over Wed night.) A watched Barbie Mermaidia after she and J cleaned up the playroom. I need to make the beds and see if D will watch a movie with me. (Bedtime Stories from Netflix.)
