It's one of those mornings....

that I wish Thad was a stay at home dad, or that it was Saturday so I didn't have to deal with this. I woke up this morning way earlier then I wanted to to Raquelle pounding on the bathroom door (between the bedrooms) and yelling "MOMMY MOMMY!" I tried to ignore it hoping she would give up and go back to bed. She switched to her bedroom door pounding and yelling "MOMMY!" Then she came back to the bathroom door...so I decided maybe I should just get them up. I walked into the kids room and Raquelle says "OH NO! Ty Poopy!" I look over and there is Ty's pants and a perfectly clean diaper on the floor next to the crib. Titus is sitting in his crib (very happy I might add) naked, in a huge pile of poop! He looks up at me with a big smile, holds up a handful of poop and says "Cracker!" and shoves it in his mouth! EEEWWWW!!!! He had it all over his face, hands and was totally caked in it from waist to toes. I grabbed the nearest pack of wipes to try to start cleaning him up. After 6 wipes and no progress, I concluded that he had done this several hours ago while we were sleeping. It was all dried to him. So I went and got a bath ready thinking that I would soak him like you soak 3 day old dishes that were forgotten. I very carefully picked up the filthy child and put him in the tub. I decided while he was soaking that I deserved ice cream for breakfast today and was pleasantly surprised to find that Thad had hidden a cherry dilly bar in the freezer (My biggest craving this pregnancy). So I stood there and ate my dilly bar for breakfast while he soaked in the tub and played with his rubber duckies. He sure was proud of himself. Luckly, it worked and all of the poop soaked off pretty easily.

I got him dressed and went back to clean up the mess. I pulled the blankets, sheets, mattress pad and stuffed animals out of his crib and threw them in the wash. Then I had to scrub down the mattress because somehow he had gotten poop under the sheet and mattress pad. Then I had to take the mattress out and scrub down the crib bars because he had grabbed onto them with his poop covered hands. And then I decided to take a break to blog about it. I still have to go back and scrub what he threw across the room off of the dressers and out of the rug. Yuck!

Oh, and to top it all off, when I went to get dressed, I popped the button off of my last pair of pre-pregnancy pants. *Sigh* I'm going to have some sewing to do after this baby is born before I can wear any of my old pants again.

That totally tops any poop experience I've had with 2 kids! You have my most profound sympathy! I think that Thad owes you a very, very nice dinner out... without the kids. ...Debbie

Okay, that's hillarious. Not going through it I'm sure, but looking back on it it's going to be one of those stories that you can tell over and over and over again!

Almost a decade!

 I have not posted anything on this blog in about 9 years!  The kids are growing up, and last night, as teenagers, Kezzy came across this blog.  “Mom!!! You have a blog?  Can I read it?”  Since then, she and Titus have been reading everything on here, reminiscing about how cute they were when they were little.  It got me thinking that maybe I should resurrect this old blog!  I have another child now (Theo) who was never even mentioned in any previous posts, and very little is on here about Annabelle and Philemon!  I’ll have to think about what I want to write about, now that the kids are older.  In the mean time, here is a new picture of my now much more grown up children.  This picture is of me and the kids on Mothers Day.

Raquelle is here!

Raquelle Elizabeth was born Sunday March 5th at 5:49 AM after 41 hours of labor! I was sent home from the hospital 3 times Friday and Saturday because I was not making very fast Progress. Contractions started out 3 min apart Friday at noon and got really strong by about 11 am on Saturday. I could no longer stand the pain so they had to keep me this time. By 4 pm I was at 3.5 cm and Contractions were 2 to 3 min apart, and so strong I was shaking uncontrolably through them. So I begged for an epi (gave up on going natural after the first 28 hours). The epi was the most traumatic part of the whole thing. As they were putting it in, my blood pressure dropped dangerously low and they had to rip it out and give me two shots of epinephrin to raise it back up and then start over. The 2nd try, they put the needle in too deep and punctured the fluid behind the epidural cavity, which caused the fluid between my brain and spinal cord to start leaking. This causes horrible migrain headaches that th...

The Dream Giver

I haven't written in a while, but as I start to toy with the idea of moving away from facebook, I find myself toying with the idea of reactivating this old blog.  I'm not sure what direction it will take.  Perhaps an overview of things I am learning?  Perhaps cute stories about the kids and every day life?  Maybe an occasional allergy friendly recipe... I don't know.  For now, I am a firm believer in life long learning and mentorship.  I strive to discipline my brain and my personal development daily with books I read, what I watch or listen to, Bible studies, and people I hang out with.  I just finished reading the book "The Dream Giver" by Bruce Wilkinson, the author of "The Prayer of Jabez."  I was surprised at how much I really enjoyed this  book! A short overview.  "The Dream Giver" is about a "nobody" named "Ordinary" who lives in the land of "familiar."  Every day, he wakes up and goes to the same job.  ...
