BTW

Casey and her family made it home fine. Just thought I would let you know!

Active Babies, Screaming Toddlers, and Falling Asleep

Sorry no post yesterday. I fell asleep. I was tired heh.

Cady slept last night from about 10-1030 till 630 this morning! I was soooo happy lol. Then she slept another hr and stayed awake until about 830 and by then Sami was awake. So, I've been awake since about 830. Cady then woke up around 930-10 and slept for maybe 2 hrs total today. She was VERY active today.

Everytime she would fall asleep Sami would scream. She is in a mean streak right now. She is pinching and hitting and screaming alot. Luckily, she hasn't gone after Cady, mostly me. I think I need to find some time to spend with her. Poor kid is prob just wanting a little mommy time.

I'm run, prob crash out. NIGHT!

New Blog, Heart Attacks, and Improving Life

I made a new blog on here to chronicle my weight loss (or lack of). So far it's nothing lol, will start the REAL posts tomorrow.

My children are trying to give me a heart attack. I was cooking dinner and Sami was standing on the chair beside me and Cady was laying in her bassinet just looking around. Suddenly, Cady lets out this ear peircing scream! It sounded like she was dying! I run to her and see nothing wrong and am trying to calm her and I remember Sami is standing near the stove with noone in the room with her! I holler for her to get down and start to walk over and I see she is getting down so I turn back and am going to sit and feed Cady. That's all I can think of that she would need. Just before I sit, I look over and Sami is standing in the door of the kitchen crying and screaming. I couldn't hear her over Cady screaming but I could see pain on her face. I freak thinking that she burned herself.

So, still holding a screaming Cady, I run to my 2 yr old expecting the worse and ask her what was wrong. She points to her stomach and about that time I see her horse (horse head on a stick) was lying sideways whereas when I had passed it earlier it had been sticking up. Sami had stuck the head in her little drum and left the stick poking at an angle. I hadn't given it a second thought when I saw it because I was rushing to Cady. Well, turns out that Sami had come running into the livingroom and had run square into it. It scratched her tummy a little but no real harm. I am thinking about having her eyes checked.

She can see stuff real well most of the time but runs into things alot. Like her horse or the counter. Today, she went running into the kitchen and around the corner towards the hall and ran smack into the counter! It knocked her down and she cried until I kissed her head and then ran around the same corner but this time slowed down and was careful to avoid the counter.

It was like she didn't see it the first time. I dunno. I don't know how I would get her eyes checked since she is the least cooperative child on earth. We would set her in the chair and ask her a question and she would say NO, if she said anything at all.

Anywho, over the next yr I plan on improving the lifes of my children and me. I plan on getting healthy and getting Sami healthy. Cady is already eating as healthy as she can heh. I plan on getting us more active and less TV. This is my New Years Resolution. I plan on managing money better and keeping the house picked up better. The health part will be in my weightloss blog, and I am considering another blog for the other stuff. Of course, all of my blogs will probably blend together. This one is life in general, which in a way is the weightloss, better health, and all the rest. I'm also considering a blog about BFing. I don't know for sure.

Of course, if I make all these blogs and post in each on a daily basis then I'll spend all my time bogging lol. We'll see how it goes!

Another Day, Omlettes, and Crazy Kids

Well, yet another day has gone by. Nothing of interest has happened really. It's still pretty white outside.

My friend Jen is planning on moving down sometime in the next wk or 2. She will stay here until she gets her own place. At least thats the plan. Things aren't going so good for her and she misses NM. If she does make it, we may be looking to get a place together. We'll see.

I made an omelette for dinner tonight. When we have omelettes we make one big one then split it between the 3 of us. Normally we use 6 eggs but there was only 7 in the carton so I used all 7. I fried the left over ham from Christmas dinner with some frozen spinach and mushrooms and used the grease from that instead of using butter. There was WAY to much stuff lol. I took out that mix and poured the egg in. I added that and alot of cheese when the time was right. Then I tried to fold it. Didn't work lol. It didn't go all the way, to much insides hehe. Well, when I went to flip it it kinda folded the rest over (think burritos) so I was like cool, that works. I let it finish then cut it up ect. Turned out pretty good actually. Oh, I added some Lemon, Pepper, and Garlic souce/mariniade thats meant for fish or chicken to the eggs. Not alot, just enough for a little flavor. I was happy with how it turned out.

There was ALOT more spinach in it then I had planned. I had it thawing in a bowl of hot water and I looked over and, lo and behold, the 2 yr old was adding more to the bowl! I told her to stop and went back to my work, looked back and, surprise, she hadn't stopped! Teach me to think a 2 yr old will listen! LOL. I chased her off (no harm done really, spinach is good for ya so I let it go) and went back to cooking. I don't think she ate it all though.

She is being a major pain now a days. She keeps pestering her sister. Today Cady was swinging and sleeping peacefully and Sami was playing and I looked over to check on Cady and Sami was sitting there pushing the swing so far back the poor baby was falling forward! Thank God I buckle her in! I freaked and told her to get away from the baby. I kept an eagle eye on her the rest of the day. She was just trying to push her sister but it scared the CRAP outta me! No harm done, Cady is ok.

Anywho, I am going to attempt to move Cady from swing to bassinet and crash out. NIGHT!

Profile Views, Crying Fits, and Cravings

So, I have 50 veiws of my profile. If that many people have looked at my blog why have I not gotten any comments or even anyone posting to my map? The only ones on my map are people I know and they added from Myspace. Am I just boring? lol Honestly, I am interested in what others think of my babble. I didn't think anyone read it at all.

So, the past wk or so Cady has had crying fits every night. I think it's colic or a growth spurt. At least its evening and not uber late at night. She is peacefully sleeping in her swing right now.

Sami is being a pain. She wants me to read to her but she won't sit still and listen. I hate trying to read to a child who is wiggling around. Now she is in the room. I need to go put her to bed. I may go on to bed too. We'll see. Lataz!

Snow, Freezing Cold, and Stuck at Home

Its snowing again today. Cady is sleeping the day away after having a fit early this morning. She woke around 6 and was up crying and being wide awake until about 7-730. Woke Sami up several times but luckily she went back to sleep pretty fast. I finally got the swing and put her in it and she slept until 10-1030 when Casey woke me.

She scared me to death lol. I heard what sounded like a knock so I listened but didn't hear it again so I started to go back to sleep thinking I was hearing things when all of a sudden it was ALOT closer lol. I jumped up and looked around. Took me a few minutes to figure out that it was a knock on my window lol. I go and open the front door and Casey comes up. They were heading home and wanted to drop a few things off.

Sami had gotten up with me to answer the door so we stayed up. I turned on the TV in the livingroom and Tom and Jerry was on. She likes that show so we watched it for a while. I finally decided I wanted to watch something different so I turned on the bedroom TV and it was on Dora the Explorer. I told Sami "Look! Dora is on!" and she got up and said "OK! I'm looking!" and walked to the room and said "It is Dora!" I think she thought I was lying lol.

Anywho, I don't have much else to write on at the moment. I may write again later on. LATAZ!

Christmas, Sweet babies, and Snow


So, yesterday was Christmas. Was a good day. I got up and was planning on making pancakes and then waking everyone else up to eat. Instead, Sami woke up shortly after me. So, instead I woke dad up and we waited for him to get in the livingroom. When he came in I pointed the gifts out to Sami. They were sitting in the middle of the floor but she hadn't seen them lol. When I pointed them out she started grabbing and ripping. I didn't get any pics but it was cute. She played with her stuff while I made pancakes. We ate and the day went on.
Later on Casey came over with her little cutie, Kimberly. We took pics of all the girls together and traded babies for a little bit lol. Kimberly is alot bigger then Cady. Its funny, they were born just a few hrs apart but their are such differences. Kimberly is bigger and seems so much more active and alert then Cady. I put Cady in the swing and she passes out no matter what. Kimberly stayed awake and was looking all over the place. She has such big beautiful eyes! I can't wait to see how both girls grow!
They stayed for awhile. They'll be heading home tomorrow sometime. I was glad I got to see them. Well, it's late so I'm gunna go. NIGHT!

PICTURES!!





It won't let me add anymore. I have more to add later.

Christmas Eve, Last Minute Shopping, and Annoying People!!

So, It is Christmas Eve! YAY! LOL. We Went to Dalhart for shopping. We got food and a last minute Christmas gift for Sami. Dad bought it. I was going to get her a few cheap little things but dad bought her a nice gift. She has a few gifts now.I didn't buy anything, I really couldn't afford anything. We got her some new tights too. Now I will be doing a load of laundry tomorrow so she can wear her new dress the next day!

When I was buying them I got PISSED. We went to Beals because we couldn't find them at Alco and the parking lot of Dollar General was a sheet of ice. So, I go in and dad and the girls stay in the car. I find them and go stand in line to check out. They chit chat for awhile and finally another cashier comes up. Someone stops her to ask her something and thens she starts checking them out!! I was PISSED and just about walked my happy ass out. If the other cashier hadn't of finished and gotten to me withing 2 minutes I would have. Pissed me off. I'm standing there for like 10 minutes waiting and someone else got to check out first? I don't think I will be revisiting that store.

Well, it's nearly 1230 so I should crash out. NIGHT!!


Oh, Yeah....

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Shopping, More Cleaning, and Lack of Sleep.

Hello readers!

Tomorrow I guess we are going shopping. Fun! I need to do a TON more cleaning. Almost done with the livingroom but not totally. I can't wait until it's done.

Cady slept from 9 or so last night till 630 this morning!! She slept ALL NIGHT!! I was soooo happy. Well, I woke around 3 and realized she was asleep still so I kinda panicked a little and checked on her but once I saw she was fine I was SOOO happy. Hopefully she makes this habit! I should be asleep right now. It's 1130 and I'm soo tired lol. I dunno why I'm still up.

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve! I think I'm going to give Sami her stocking tomorrow but I dunno for sure. On Christmas Eve night, after the kids are asleep, I plan on setting up all the gifts. Then Christmas morn I'll get up early and make pancakes, eggs, and bacon for breaky and then wake everyone up. We'll eat, then I'll start the ham cooking. Then it'll be prezzie time! I just realized she is getting NO toys :( that sucks. She is getting sheets, toothbrush set, slippers (from a neighbor), and I dunno what the secret Santa sent, but it feels like clothes. Maybe tomorrow I can find a cheap toy for her. That'll be sad if she doesn't get anything to play with. I'll have to look. Maybe we can stop at the Dollar Store and get something.

Shouldn't be to hard to find something for a 2 yr old lol. I need to decide about the stocking. If I am then I need to get it ready and hang it on the door. I wanted to get her Chocolates for it too though. I guess I could give what I have in it (or some of it) to her tomorrow and the rest on Christmas day. Thats a good idea! Ok, I'm off to do that.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Screaming, Refusal to Nurse, and Cleaning

Today has been spent mostly cleaning. I'm trying to get this house organized but its slow going with these kids. Right now I am going through clothes. The girls' and my own. Not getting rid of any baby clothes but all clothes above 6 mnths and below 18 is getting put in a plastic storage bin for awhile. Toys are next, Going to go through them and basically the ones I don't think she needs are being boxed to be dropped at charity. The ones Cady can use later but Sami is outgrown will go with the clothes for later.

Cady cried forever. I did everything I could think of, clean diaper, burping, and offering the boob. She refused the boob, sucked once or twice then spit it out. Well, after about 20-30 min I made a bottle of formula. She sucked it down! Now she is dozing in her swing. So, she is refusing to nurse. Which means I need to pump if I want to keep her on mostly BM. *sigh* At least she takes a bottle still, as long as she is eating.

Of course, now I'll need a few more bottles and ALOT more storage bags. Alot more money.

Anywho, Cady is asleep now. I'm going to go do a few more things then fight Sami into bed. NIGHT!

Family, Packages, and Christmas!

So we went to Tatum to visit family. I didn't get to post at all, sry bout that. I'm back now though!

I got ALL my packages from Target.com! The swing I got for Cady takes C sized batteries. We only have D lmao. The dress I got Samirah is soooooo cute! She has it on right now. Cady is wearing her baby legs too lol.

Samirah is getting a TON of Candy Canes in her stocking lol. Spongebob with a gummy attached (three of those) and some with Dora, Deigo, Spongebob, and Patrick (4 of each character) and a HUGE one that is plastic and full of gummy Krabby Patties lol.

She is having a very Spongebob Christmas this yr lol.

Casey got the girls something and I think my neighbor did as well. Dad just told me he got them stockings with their names on them, yay! Hopefully they get here tomorrow lol.

I have all of the gifts wrapped...well, no I take that back. I have one thing I hadn't intended to give as a gift but I think I will.

Family was good. Samirah is in love with Papa. She followed him around EVERYWHERE lol. It was cute and Papa seemed to enjoy it. Nanny loved holding Cady so this week was somewhat of a vacation for me. Nanny held Cady so I got to take Sami out to swing for a good long time. It was fun for both of us. First time in a while I got to spend some one on one time with my first born. I think she loved it as well.

It was a nice relaxing visit. We stopped in Portales on the way home and visited with my Godparents. My Godmother was there for Cady's birth and so she was happy to get to see Cady again. Sami too, of course. She gave me the disk with the pics she took at the hospital. I need to upload them and post them different various places lol.

Well, thats about it for now. I need to get things straightened up around here before Wed. Lataz!

Christmas, Family, and Road Trips

We are going on a road trip tomorrow to visit our family in Tatum. It might be a long trip but its all good. Hopefully, Cady will sleep at least most the way and mabye, if I'm really lucky, Sami will too! We'll see. Dad is talking about staying until Thursday now, I dunno if that is gunna work. I'll have to bring my pump either way but I don't know how I'm going to pump (or BF for that matter) in a crowded house but if I go that long without BF'ing or pumping it will KILL my supply.

BRB Sami is crying

OK, I'm back heh. She fell asleep watching TV and woke up. If she wakes alone she cries until I go get her. I don't know why but she WILL NOT get off the bed after waking until I tell her she can. In the morning she will sit on the edge of the bed and cry her little heart out until I come in and tell her she can get up.

Anywho, it's late. We will be leaving early tomorrow. Our net is screwed right now, it does this. Just decides it wants to go out, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to post this. I'll get on before we go post, for now I'm saving it in notepad. NIGHT!

WAIT! It is working now! YAY!! I getta post tonight lol.

Pap smears, Doctors, and Appts

So, got a call from the O.B. today. My pap came back "abnormal" and they want a follow up. Set it up for Jan 30th. Hopefully, it don't mean anything.

I am waiting for her to call me back because the nurse told me to make sure I wasn't on my period when I made the appt and I was thinking the appt would be soon told the person making the appt that I was still bleeding from HAVING Cady, in case it mattered. She went to ask the doc but the doc was busy so she is leaving a msg for her to call me back. I'm not sure why since the appt isn't for another mnth and hopefully the bleeding is LONG GONE by then.

When she calls I am going to ask her for the name of the head doc she had told me about at my 6 wk. They were going to make the appt for me but since I'm not preg anymore my "primary care physican" has to do it. BLAH! So, I am going to get his name and call the Logan clinic to get that going. Hopefully, that gets done quick and we can fix my head!

Anywho, I need to check to mail so LATAZ!!

Santa pics, Christmas presents, and Cranky kids








So, there are the Santa pics! I posted the ones from 05 and 06 also. Samirah has grown SOOOOO much!

Today I got the sheets I got for Samirah at Target.com. Yesterday she found some Spongebob candy canes. Dad also bought her a Spongebob toothbrush set. The girls also got Secret Santa gifts from a friend. I'm not sure what those are but am EXTREMELY greatful she sent them!
Cady is sleeping and Sami is going to bed as soon as I'm done pumping. When shes out, time to wrap a few prezzies!! I think the candy canes will go in her stocking though. She has one but she plays with it so God knows where it is. I wish I could get her a Spongebob stocking, She would LOVE that. Can you tell what her interest is?
Both girls were cranky today, there was ALOT of crying going on in this house.Sami got sent to her room for attitude a few times. it was only a few minutes before she was done crying and ready to say sorry. She actually does better when she starts to see she can't get away with it. I just have to stay on her.
Well, Sami is due for bed now.
NIGHT!

Wednesday, December 12, 2007

Oh BTW

I am going to pick up the girls' Santa picture probably tomorrow! YAY!!

MIA, Catching Up On Sleep, and Watching Movies

Sorry I haven't posted in a day or two. Been going to bed early lately, tired as all get out. I'm better now though. Been watching alot of movies too. Recorded a mini series on Sci-fi, Tin Man. It was a 3 part series and I was going to watch it today, yeah it recorded parts 1 and 3 but not 2!!! I am miffed. I did a search and couldn't find it again! I am uber miffed!!!

Took Cady to the doc the other day. The mrk on her side is blood vessels close to the surface. She said we would watch it and if it got any bigger she would call someone to look at it. I have decided not to worry over it. Hopefully it just goes away. I will keep an eye on it but refuse to go crazy with the thoughts of what "might happen" since those thoughts are destructive not productive. If it gets worse and the doc sends us to a specialist then I'll go see that doc and go from there. My baby is going to be fine!

Her eye got infected. While she was napping she spit up and somehow got it in her eye. I think I wrote about it in my last post. The doc called in an ointment for it. We got it in the mail today and put it on her, but her eye already looks cleared up (did before I put the med on it) so I dunno.

Cady is 10 lbs 11 oz and 21 inches long! She is getting crazy big!

Sami is good, being her usual bratty self lol. Not much to report on her.

I'll write more later!

Gooky eyes, Cranky babies, and Spit up

Sorry in advance if my typing is horrible, I am pumping so typing one handed.

Tomorrow I will be calling Cadence's doctor. While she was napping earlier today she spit up. When she woke up and I went to get her it was ALL over her face, including in her right eye. I cleaned her up and didn't think much about it. A few hrs later I noticed her eye looked gunky, well Sami's eye did that ALOT until about the time she turned 2, was just a clogged tear duct. So, I clean her eye and do the rubbing the inside corner like I did when Sami gunked up. A little while later I notice it looks swollen and gunky! I show dad and he agrees it looks kind of bad. I clean the gunk and 15 minutes later it is gunky again. I clean it about every 15 minutes. It is looking a little better but I am still going to call tomorrow. Even if her eye is all better (God willing) I will be taking her in. She has this mark on her tummy I want them to look at. She looked at it at the 1 mnth appt and measured it and told me to keep an eye on it. At the time it looked more like a birth mark. Now it looks slightly swollen and blistered looking. So, I will def be taking her in for that and, if the eye still looks bad, that too. We'll see, I might not get in tomorrow and if it snows its gunna be hell getting there. Hopefully, no snow.

Theres a package at the post office, we didn't get there soon enough to get it Sat and its closed Sun. They normally call when we have a package on Sat since they close at like 10 am but Dad went to check the mail Sat afternoon and said there was a yellow slip. Would be nice if it is from Samirah's dad and has some child support in it, but that is wishful thinking. It's probably for dad.

Anywho, I guess thats all for now. Nothing to exciting.

Pray that Cady is ok for me!

Slow day, Sleeping baby, and Spongebob

Hey all. Today we have NO PLANS! We have been going the past 3 days and all three of us are SICK AND TIRED of being in that car! Today we are just relaxing. Samirah has been watching Spongebob and running all over the house, Cady has been sleeping...ALOT. Poor baby is plum tuckered out! Last night she slept from 9 pm till 330 am (she normally only sleeps from 9 pm till 12-1) but then was up for near an hr heh. Thats still better then waking at midnight and staying up for an hr then. She is starting to sleep longer. Maybe in a few wks she will be sleeping through the night.
Yesterday I got a myspace msg from one of my bestest friends from High school. its been YEARS since I last saw her and I missed her. We sat up uber late emailing back and forth. It was good talking to her. I need to go see her sometime.
Thats all the news for now, I need to get off here and straighten up the livingroom. It's a mess. I may write more later, may play with the camera and post pics later tonight.

New friends, Santa, and Sleeping Babies

So, today was Santa day! We went to Dalhart and stopped at Alco's to get a few things. Got Samirah a pair of new shoes, she didn't have any dressy type shoes. When we were looking at them she saw a pair of those crocs that she fell in love with. She has a pink pair (that are getting to small) and wanted these, they were pink but had a little bit of blue swirled in. She kept saying "Mama! Pretty shoes!!" and pointing at them as I was trying other shoes on her. We didn't get them, I'm broke and really shouldn't have gotten the shoes I got but I got them big enough she'll wear them for awhile. She likes them too, kept looking in the box and saying "Mama, I like shoes!" I also got Cady some socks and a pair of "pretty" shoes lol. They turned out to be HUGE on her (go figure, EVERYTHING is huge on her.)

Anyway, They were starting the Santa pictures at 4 and we got there around 330. I kind of expected people to be arriving early and wanted to be sure to be able to get s parking spot lol. Yeah, no one showed up until about 5 minutes till lol. The first family to show after me had 2 little kids, a boy and a girl. The girl was still small and was held by her momma the whole time but the boy was about Samirah's age and I think she just fell in love with him lol. She was a little parrot to him. Everything he did she did to. Worked out for me because when his Gramma told him to sit by the window he listened and sat there and so Sami sat right next to him. The were hugging and talking and just being so cute. I wish I had brought be camera, there was one time they were sitting facing the window and he had his arm around her shoulders and they were looking outside. Would have been the most adorable picture!

Then it was time to meet Santa. They opened the door and Sami and I stepped in and she looked at Santa and said "No no no" and left the room lol. I talked her into going back in and she cried and cried. They put Cadi in Santa's arm and made sure she was postioned where her face was visible and then I put Sami in Santa's lap. She freaked lol. They tried EVERYTHING to make her smile and got her to kind of stop crying. They took 3 or 4 shots and he told me "That's probably the best we'll get" and sounded like he thought I would be upset that they couldn't make her smile. I don't mind, it's not like they pinched her or something to MAKE her cry. She didn't want to sit in Santa's lap and get the picture taken, not their fault. The crying pictures are just as cute as the smiling ones to me.

After the pictures we went to United and then got some food at Sonic and went home. All in all, was a good day. Not alot to write but was still a good day lol.

NIGHT!

Not much new heh

This morning I had a WIC appt (at nine o'clock in the fricken morning). I got up at 8 (set the alarm for 7 heh) and got me and the girls ready to go. Nothing to interesting. Get the card loaded, go get the oil changed in the pickup ect. We stopped at the dollar store before the oil change and picked up a color book and some crayons to keep Samirah busy while they did the oil. The colors were 2 for a dollar so I got two boxes and dropped one in the Toys for Tots box. That wasn't the plan when I got them but I saw the box and just dropped em in. A nice lady who was in front of me in line had gotten a double pack of Tic Tacs and she asked if Samirah could have one, I thought she meant one Tic Tac so I said sure, well she handed my kid an ENTIRE PACK! I was shocked! Samirah said "Thank you!" and the lady left before I could recover. That was a really nice thing to do. Samirah loves them, before I opened them she used it as a shaker and made lots of noise, then she figured out it was candy in it and started yelling "OPEN! OPEN!" Was cute.

Another cute, but totally bad, thing she has taken up today is the phrase "Oh Shit!" lol. She has been saying it ALLLLLLL day, at random times. Everytime she did I would tell her "don't say that!" and Dad told her to say "Oh man!" instead, so she started saying "Oh, Shit! Oh, man!" lol.

Anywho, not much else to write today. Tomorrow is Santa pictures! yay! I'ma go pump and crash out. night!

Doc Appts, Black outs, and cranky kids!

Hey all! Well today has been...umm...interesting.

I had my 6 wk PP check up. The appt was at 11:15 am in Clovis. We got there at 11. I went to the new building, like I had EVERY appt before, just to be told the appt was in the OLD building. No biggy, it was just a short drive. So, we drive over there and I take Cady in and leave Sami with her Gampa. We go in and as I'm signing in Cady starts crying, it was time for her to eat so I had expected it. After signing in I sat down and gave her a bottle I had pumped for the trip. She eats a little and then starts wiggling, meaning she had a gas bubble, so I take her outta her carseat and burp her. She won't let me lay her back down of course but no biggy. We finally get called back and once in the room I have to lay Cady down (can't exactly hold her during the exam heh) and she started freaking out. She does not like to lay down, she prefers to be upright where she can SEE whats going on. The doc askes if I would mind the nurses holding her and I was like "If they don't mind" and she told me they love doing that lol. So, she took Cady to the nurses and came back and we talked for a little bit. Then she examined me (I hate that crap). She gave me a new Rx for the headaches (one that I can't take, I read the little paper and it says "DO NOT TAKE IF BREASTFEEDING!" in big letters. I'ma call tomorrow and ask about it. She knew I was BFing so I'm not sure why she presribed it. I'm glad I read those papers before taking the pills I'm prescribed. She is also setting up an appt with a neurologist about the headaches. When I go for that I will get my IUD also.

So, we run off to Walmart to do some shopping and get the RX filled. We walk it and the store is kinda dark. Ok, strange but all well. I go to get the RX and dad goes to get a few things. I stand in line for like 30 minutes, get to the window and she takes my RX and tells me it will be filled when the power is back up. So, I'm like "We live 100 miles from here, I'll have to go somewhere else, we can wait around ALL day, Thanks." So, I go to find dad and walk ALL over the store looking and can't find him. I walked pass a few things I knew we needed so I put them in the basket. Five minutes after I put 3 cases of Dr. Pepper in the cart they say over the intercom "Attention Walmart customers! The registers are all down, we apoligize for the inconvinence" Um WHAT??? No registers??? YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!! So, I continue to look for dad and finally find him. We decide to go to Portales to the Walmart. We want to go visit but it was already like 4 and the girls were cranky so we couldn't. So, we do our shopping and drop off te RX to be filled. We get what we needed and paid. The plan was we would pay and take everything out to the pickup and then I would run back in and get my pills. Yeah, we forgot. We get about 11 miles out and Dad remembers. So, we drive back and I run in to get them. Yeah LONG ASS LINE! So I'm standing there for like 30 minutes and finally I'm next! Then Dad calls my cell, both girls are freaking out, Cady is hungry and Sami, well, to be honest I have NO CLUE what she was crying about. So, I tell him I'm next and we hang up. So I get my pills and run back to the pickup. We head home, get about 5 miles from Broadveiw and Sami starts crying saying she needs to poop and that it hurts. So, dad agrees to pull over in Broadview. Sami is in Diapers so the only thing we can figure is that being strapped down so tight in the carseat is making it hard to poop or something.

So, we pull over and Cady starts crying also. I unbuckle Sami and then unbuckle Cadi and get her out. I let Sami be a banshee in the backseat while I burped and changed Cadi. Then, I put Cadi back in her carseat and grabbed Sami. I changed her (no poop BTW) and buckled her back in. She was fine and Cadi was ok too. So with everybody strapped back in and happy we hit the road. Have I mentioned that I had about 8 oz of pumped BM and planned to use formula if I didn't have enough BM? Well, I didn't have enough BM but guess what, I forgot to grab the formula! Cadi was hungry and I had nothing and we didn't want to sit so I could nurse. So, guess what? I got to milk myself! lots of fun, let me tell you! I had to self-express milk into a bottle, I got about 5 oz all together. I got about 2 oz and Cadi started crying for food so I stopped and gave that to her, that held her until I could get about 3 more. She drank another 2 (I think) and fell back to sleep. So, now I know that if need be I can get milk in a bottle no matter what (though I think about 2 oz worth of milk leaked out.)

Anywho, we made it home without further incident and tomorrow I must go to Tucum for a WIC appt. The appt is at 9 in the morning and Dad is making me go alone. Will NOT be fun lol.

Then on the 6th I will be going to Dalhart for Santa pics! YAY!

I'll post more tomorrow, night!

Learning how to make siggies!


i'm learning to make my own siggies. whatcha think?
its my first attempt...now i'ma go make a Christmas Card lol

I should be asleep

Why am I still awake? Well, most likely because this is the only time I get to myself lol. My 2 yr old, though I love her to death, can be quite a handful. She is always on the go and always RIGHT there. I love her but everyone needs a lil breathin room every now and then know what I mean?



So, I end up staying up WAAAAY to late for a few nights and then getting up WAAAAAY to early until i crash and HAVE to go to bed as soon as Sami does. Cady is up for a feeding, brb.


Good Morning! Sami woke just as Cady passed backout so i went to snuggle her back to sleep and decided to go ahead and crash out.

Now it is 12:30 lol. I watched Tin Men on sci-fi this morn, well it was recorded last night. 1 of 3...the next is tonight, then the last tomorrow. So far its REALLY good. I can't wait!

Sami and dad ate weenies for lunch. Dad fed her when I went to check the mail. I'm going to eat mac n cheese with polish sausage. I was going to share but they ate. If Samirah wants some I'll give her some though. I'm going to attempt to lay the mouse down so I can eat lol.

Extended Family!

I got permission to post pics of my extended family!

Jeremy, Casey, and Kimberly





Kimberly
Oct 23rd at 12:53pm
21inches long
7lbs. 9.5 oz


Isn't she just the CUTEST! These are her Thanksgiving pictures! She is just as cute as Cadence is and I love her just as much. Ok, I just wanted to show off Kimberly since I showed off my girls.




Introduction

Hello, bloggers. I am Lyda, I am a single mother of 2 beautiful little girls. Samirah Dawn is my oldest. She is 2.5 yrs old. Cadence Leigh is my youngest. She is 5 wks, will be 6 wks on Tuesday. They are my life. I will write a little about each of us as an introduction.

Me (Lyda)-

(I don't have a current pic of just me)





I am 22, my birthday is April 2, 1985. My parents are Larry David and Donna Carol Wells and I have an older brother, Davy (24). My Mom passed away when I was 2, I don't remember her much but wish she were here to meet her grandbabies. However, I feel that everything that is in my past, the good and the bad, happened for a reason and if any of it had happened differently I wouldn't be in the place I currently am in and might not have my babies and I could not imagine life without them.


Samirah-







Samirah is my firstborn. She was born May 4, 2005 at 4:38 pm. She weighed in at 6 lbs 4 oz and measured 19 inches. Her father, Clarence, was the love of my life. I thought he was forever. He swore forever and it still hurts that it turned out to be a lie. I miss him but he says he isnt "ready for kids" and "wants to keep having fun" so he doesn't make much of an effort to be in her life. That makes me sad because he is missing out on a wonderful child. She is so full of life and so happy. She LOVES Spongebob Squarepants and has SEVERAL of the episodes memorized. She could watch that show all day every day and never get bored. She also enjoys other shows but Spongebob is her favorite.







Cadence-







Cadence is my baby. She was born Oct 23, 2007 at 10:14 pm. She weighed more then Samirah, weighing in at 6 lbs 9 oz but was shorter, 17 in. Her father, David, has never even seen her. He intentionally got me preg thinking I would marry him and when that failed he denied paternity. He saw my weaknesses and played them to get what he wanted. I don't know if he is even interested in seeing her or not, he has made no effort to contact me since I told him that I was preg, except to tell me what he wanted her to be named. He was a control freak. Cadence loves sleeping and eating, I mean REALLY enjoys it lol. She makes happy grunting noises while she eats and sometimes in her sleep. She is fasinated by her older sister and her older sister loves her just as much.




Cadence also has a twin born to another mother lol. One of my very best friends, Casey, and her husband, Jeremy, had a baby girl on Oct 23rd as well. A few hrs earlier (12 something, I forget the exact time, SORRY CASEY!) Kimberly is just as adorable and dear to my heart as my girls. I haven't had a chance to meet little Kimberly yet but I am eagerly awaiting the day I get to meet her and the girls get to meet. I won't post a picture until I get a chance to ask Casey if she minds.


The girls and I live in a tiny town of about 30 people. I was working in the neighboring town. It was a 90 mile round trip drive but I didn't mind much. I had to quit at the end of July because of an accident. I was driving to work one day and a Semi was slowing down to turn and the Semi behind him was going to fast and not paying attention and hit him and came into my lane and hit me. Long story I'll type later.
Anywho, it's getting late here so I am going to end this. I will try to post everyday, but some days I may not have anything to type about, those days I will just put pictures! I may end up telling about our life through pictures since that is my passion.
Goodnight for now!!
