Eh?

Hi!

Been awhile AGAIN since I posted. But I'm living, breathing, and tending to little man who STILL have night and day screwed up. *Grunt* Hey I posted some new photos - CLICK HERE - I also posted a few new photos in Cameron's album - CLICK HERE - And there's new Photos in - HERE - So life has been REALLY stressful lately. Hubby's mom has went on a frantic nutso rage again and was hospitalized for threatening to do herself in for 3 days. She was just released yesterday so now it's back to walking on egg shells for me. =0( He narded little rat dog (a poodle mix) not only shit on my floor while we were watching him - he jumped on Cameron's face while he (Cam) was laying on the couch - which is a HUGE NO NO In my house (no animals on the couch) - on top of that Cameron had the flu bug... so now he has this HUGE HUGE nasty scratch about 4 inches long down the side of his face. Needless to say MIL's little rat got his first flying lesson from ME! Bastard mutt. Bawhahahaha. So anyways - other than that.. same crap different day. I still haven't had any luck finding a night job and I think I've applied everywhere within reason. =0( I hope everyone is well!!!

Apologies

My apologies to all my friends for not being around as much as I was before. I am SO tired that I feel like my peepers are going to melt out of my head. Conner is a blessing but no angel. LoL. He has night and day completely twisted around and sleeps all of 4 hours a night *IF* I'm lucky. So - physically I'm about ready to collapse and mentally I can't think straight anymore. It will get better though. I hope. LoL. He's 15 days old already. Doing supreb and eating like a little piggy. He's really starting to pudge out. He STILL looks just like his daddy or so I think. Cameron is doing wonderful too. He's doing so well in school and the whole potty training thing is over with.. it's official. He's a dude man now!! WooT! HE absolutely LOVES school... took his first bus ride this last Monday.. he's so darn cute when he gets on the bus. Of course I Cried like a big old weenie! *Sniffles* He's not so little anymore. =0(
Other than that.. we're surviving! Sort of. Adam's working his arse off as usual.. I'm trying to find a night job.. we seriously need to buckle down on our finaces. The apartment needs some serious painting and renovations that are NOT our responsibilty however because the landlord is our "Friend" he dubs them our responsisbitly but provides the materials. Eitherway it's a pain in the ass because we don't have the time. So that's that.... I'm just putzing around like a flippin' zombie. I Miss everyone to pieces and will be back when I can function again. Till than!! ((hugs))

Conner's Birth



Sorry I haven't posted in awhile.. I'm exhausted!!!!
So Conner made an early entrance as I guessed he would. HE was born on Wednesday September 14, 2005 at 4:09 pm. (Funny note - Cam was born at 9:04pm). Conner weighted 6 lbs 12 oz and was 19 1/2 inches. He's gorgeous and looks JUST LIKE Cam did when he was a newborn. Of course they both look JUST LIKE their daddy! Wednesday morning I had gotten up at 4am because I Felt like Conner was trying to push his way out through my belly button. I did my usual waddle around, make coffee, ect. At 4:30 am I sat down at the comp to check my email and plug away .. at 4:45 am I coughed and my water broke. WOOT! Same thing with Cam.. I coughed and my water broke. So I woke Adam up - got Cam ready and off to the hospital we went. Of course Both Adam and I were ALOT calmer than we were with Cameron's birth. LoL. I was only 3 cm along when I arrived so they had me walk around for a couple hours.. that brought me to 5cm.. and I stayed at 7 cm for hours!!! Ack! Finally around 3:00 I started tensing up b/c I felt the need to push.. but the Dr said I was only 8cm. I was mad. LoL. At 3:30 pm I screamed that I needed to push.. so they came in and I was a full 10cm! WHOO HOO. The Dr wasn't aware that with Cam's birth I pushed 3 times and he was out.. so she had me start pushing while she left for a moment. Heh. ONE good  push and Conner crowned - of course the Dr was no where around they made me hold him.. I tell you that was the worst pain I've ever expieranced in my ENTIRE Life! Finally she same in I pushed 2 more times and wallla there was Conner.. eyes wide open screaming at the top of his lungs. My mom and Adam were bawling.. again.. just like Cam's birth I was just in the "OMG I survived again" state. LoL. So that's that. He's now a week and 4 days old and doing superb. =0)

Sleep? What Sleep?
I didn't sleep all but 3 hours last night.. I was just wide awake... *BoNg* Finally crashed around 2:30am and woke up at 4:30 am when Adam's alarm went off.. I threw that.. ha! Than gave up and got up at 6am.. oye. But oddly enough.. I don't feel tired.. yet. Nothing much going on today.. it's supposed to be like 90 degrees out, so I may fill Cameron's pool up for one last round about - maybe clean the house in the A/C.. or JUST PIXEL! *Shrugs*
We're going to get Remington tomorrow!!!!!!!! Yea! Poor dude is in surgery right now.. ack he's going to be sore. LOL. I can't wait for him to come home. =0)

Okay here's today's rant -ol-a

When you tell someone -
after they have said many a times "When it's time PLEASE call me so I can take you to the hospital."
Please DON'T shut your cell phone off because it's ALMOST time - anyday now. But yet.. they shut it off or just plain old ignore your phone calls... what should you do? Bitch slap them? *Heh* Sure why not? I'm talking about my MIL. For those who know me well know I have a hell of a relationship with her.. it's simple really - AVOID her at all costs. She's nuts! Lmao. No I'm really serious... she's REALLY just nuts. Anyways - she's the ONLY ride I have to the hospital besides a cab or Ambulance. Right this moment we're flat arse broke so a cab is out of the question and well I'd rather not with the whole ambulance thing. So Adam tells her again the other day - DO NOT SHUT YOU PHONE OFF! OR PLEASE ANSWER IT IF I CALL... Ummm HELLO Physco, drunk, nutso b*tch. Come on ya know? SO I'm a bit ancy about when and how it's all going to happen. She drives me ABOSLUTELY insane. How'd you like that rant? Yup MIL Is pissing me off again! Nothing new eh?
OOOOOOO and than she gets all emotional tweaky about our new dog.. like she has any say in it? She has a flippin Poodle that just needs to be squished. Honestly people.. I HATE Weeny dogs. And her's is the most annoyning of them all. She believes everyone should love him and love small dogs. That I'm supposed to somehow feel protected if I have a weeny dog! I Mean weeny as in small, ankle biters, little shits, something that should be stepped on. Nope not muhahahaha --- I am into BIG OLD Powerhouse dogs. I Love BIGGER breeds and Remington is massive. So she tweaked - why???? She started screaming and hollering about how Remington could knock Cameron over - well... yea.. it's possiable.. with ANY dog... but that's where Adam and I come in... dumbass!!! A dog is a dog... christ! So Adam asks her.. can you please get a collar, leash and prong collar from work.. she works at petsmart so gets a good discount. Yup sure.. physco bitch is back agian.. she starts crying about it... *BLINKS* Talk about weird. "You can't use a prong collar it's inhumane".. it's inhumane my ass when I have an 80 pound + dog that needs to learn NOT To pull on the leash.. I can't walk him without one. Not to mention here's the difference.. a CHOKE (hence the name) collar increases in tension as the dog pulls causing him to loose his breath.. I"ve never had any success with this things.. ever.. not to mention it can mess up their necks.. however a prong collar pinches the outer skin and releases.. meaning it's a one time ina second grab your attention deal. So she tweaked. She tweaked about getting my cat declawed.. erm yea.. that's MY Choice. He's an inside cat that destroys my furniture and scrathes peoples... makes sense to me eh? Again I'm EVIL because I am "Hurting" the animals. Go blow yourself hun - I have discussed all of this with my vet and trainer and they agree. Oye.

Owell.. hehehe. Man I'm being a bitch today.

Meet Remington



Well here he is! The Man himself. Remington. He's a purebred (so we're told doesn't matter tho) Yellow Lab Retriever. Isn't he something? We adopted him the local City Pound.. poor guy was there for THREE weeks. I think it's because he's 4 years old and a BALL of energy. Isn't he gorgeous? I can't wait for him to come home. This Wednesday we get to go pick him up. His past family relinquished him because "They Didn't have they time".. which infuriates me because wouldn't they consider finding him a home first knowing that the pound doesn't have the room and wont hesiatate to put him down whether or not he's a great dog? Oye. Some people just irk me. But that's okay.. beacuse now he has a family that will love him forever, keep him happy, safe and warm. =0) He's just a big old ball of love.. and man, he concentrates REALLY super hard when there's a tennis ball in sight. He doesn't even blink.. but he waits for you tell him he can get it. He's really super smart. I'm so happy we found him. =0)
On another note, not much happening here. Conner gave me a tid bit of a scare between last night and this morning, I mean I'm due in 20 days so I completely understand the dude has NO room left what so ever. But last night I didn't feel him move AT ALL.. and this morning I had been up since 6 am and didn't feel him move.. I ate, drank, ect. And just nothing. So I finally caved and called the nurse around 10 am and she explained to me on how to do a kick count and what to do to get him awake and moving around. Sure enough.. I followed everything she suggested and now he's just throwing himself a party in there. Made me feel much better though. I know.. worry wart! Can't help it though. No contractions today either! WOOT! They've been increasing in strength, how long they last and getting a bit closer together. WOOT! YEA! Lets get this ball moving little man! Ha! I'm so excited. I just can't believe it's almost over. Pretty soon though... I'll be able to hold the little man. YEAYEAYEAYEAAY! Hope everyone is having a Great day!

If I Could Reach through this Screen....
I Swear! If I could reach through this screen and strangle someone I would... I'm not going to point out who.. but I'll tell you why. So I belong to this forum - anyways.... there are constant battles about views, differences, opinans, ect. ACK! It makes for some miserable reading b/c every other post is locked or pulled... I just want to post a big FAT "SHUT UP AND ACT LIKE AN ADULT PEOPLE"... it drives me absolutely insane what these people fight over too! Like for example... a lady who was probably pretty ticked off at that point in time decided to post about a topic she expieranced and just Vent... it said "VENT" in the subject.. therefore people should assume that it's probably an angry, upset, I'm going to say whatever post.. right????? Well the lady used the word Retard to define someone... WELL... the WHOLE flippin' community freaking jumped her about it... GAWD! I mean I can understand some might be offended.. perhaps.. but let it go... just walk away... read the next post.. JESUS!!! There is someone going to jump me now?? ACK! What gets me the most is.... that is what makes the world spin round and round is everyone is different... I just don't understand why people have to blow things WAY out of porportion.. perhaps they thrive on freaking drama.
Okay I'm done bitching! hehe.
So .. lets see progress for me.... well the other night I was up from Midnight to 3 am having contractions every ten minutes.. but.. they weren't getting closer or stronger so I let it go and went to bed.. sure enough woke up feeling fine. Yesterday from 10 - 2pm I was having the same contractions this time 6-8 minutes apart... but again they were staying steady and not getting any stronger. WAHHHHHH! I Just want to get this baby out NOW! O well. =0( The past few days I've definatly felt different in the aspect that I feel as though someone is ripping my hips apart... I feel like while I'm walking he's going to just fall out.. it sucks!!! *Sighs* hehehehe hahahahah! KK well I Hope everyone is well. =0)

Hmph...
*Shakes head* I don't get it.. what's the differance between a REAL contraction and a bh??? Mom says "You'll know"... o...k... I'll know what? That eitherway it's uncomfortable and hurts? Lmao. WAHHHHHHH! I was in Triage yesterday for 4 hours.. fun fun... I'm having mild contractions according to the monitor but nothing major. I don't believe I Feel them?!?! But I wake up this morning.. and starting around 10:30a I'm having what I believe are BH.. except here's the diff... it starts out as a pain above my belly button.. works down.. gets REALLY tight and wraps right around to my lower back. But than again my lower back has been hurting because of baby anyways.. am I being a complete lunatic or what people? *Sighs* The impending arrival of this baby is starting to make me Loooooose my flippin mind. Ack! Really... yesterday was the second "Oppps false alarm hahaha you have to wait longer".... *Grunts* Now when I say "ouch" adam just rolls his eyes.. Lmao. I mean I don't blame him. I just wish there was a surefire way to tell what's real and what's a " haha did you feel that mom".
Other than that nothing going on... =0)

It's still hard
Today is the third day since Merlin has been gone.... It's still hard. I am still adjusting to not seeing him around in his "Spots"... not taking him outside.. or hearing him bark when the doorbell rings. Adam hasn't said much about it.. if he's cried he hasn't done so in front of me... but I know it's hurting him. But he's taking it much better than I expected. I on the other hand have been busting out into tears just by seeing his picture... I had to take all his "Goodies" and pack them away.. it just sucks. Cameron keeps asking where is .... which in turn makes me sit and think about him.
I still feel like I am the biggest jerk in the world. Really.
Maybe my heart wont feel so heavy as time goes by ya know?
