| Packing again... |
| 01.30.04 (11:32 am) [edit] |
I did absolutely nothing last night, but climb in the bed last night. Soooo....due to my laziness...I am packing today! Who wants to stay up packing when you just finished working three 12-hour shifts in a row? Not me.
There is a show on called, "Style Star" on t.v. right ow. It is talking about Christina Aguilera (sp?) She started out so sweet, like Britney, then they both turned into the biggest, whorish looking people. My girls used to love both of their music, but now the 2 have have been banned from our house. It seems there are no good role models in the public view. If it were up to me, the t.v. would be gone from our house, but Tony would die without his t.v.! I hope I can teach my children a little better and a little more self respect for themselves than what Britney and Christina have learned. It is all soooo scary though. I have [i][u][b]three[/b][/u][/i ] girls...each with their own little ideas and attitudes! What fun...teen years? [i][b]Ugggghhhh![/b][/i]
I need to get up and do something about packing. We will be leaving for Baton Rouge today. If I get done early enough we will check the girls out of school and head on. I'll never get done if I don't get started! Hopefully, I can find a dress. I went shopping for a dress Monday and I bought three dresses because I could not decide which one to get. I made myself sooo upset trying to shop for me. I beat myself up for being a size I do not want to be when I try clothes on, then I go to the Food Court because I am sooo upset and pig out. [i][b]HELLO[/b][/i]...[i]there's the reason why you've gained so much weight![/i] I can't help it...food is my comfort. Tony says he just won't go there! He trys to support me, though sometimes, he says things the wrong way, but then again--I'm a very sensitive person...yes I wear my heart on my sleeve. My 8 year old daughter is just like me emotional- wise. Great. Always on the verge of tears. Don't know why...we just are. Anyway...enough of the baring my soul...
Maybe Monday I will have some interesting thoughts on the weekend. I wish I could load pictures on my computer to share! I'll figure out a way to get them online. My brother is in Korea right now, so he can't do it for me. He's the only one who has the ability to scan pictures. I have heard that Kinko's does some scanning--I'll have to check it out, but I sure hate to pay!
[b]Have a good weekend[/b]. :D

| Six days--no action... |
| 01.29.04 (10:13 pm) [edit] |
It's been six days since I have posted here. We have been really busy! Oh, did I post about Barney? It was a pretty good show, but I had enough! Glad that was over!
The Mardi Gras Ball is this weekend. I need to be packing NOW, but I worked Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday(today). I am ready to relax...so guess who will be up all night washing and packing! I bought three dresses the other day, but I can't decide which dress I want to keep for the Ball. I need to take 2 dresses back. I put myseslf into a major depression trying to find a dress for me. I kick myself in the tail all the time about losing weight. I'm miserable! I am also sooooosleepy! My head keeps flopping over. I need sleep. I think I am going to bed now. Good night

| Packing for tomorrow... |
| 01.23.04 (9:14 pm) [edit] |
We are leaving to go to Baton Rouge in the morning. 8 a.m. sharp. There supposed to be a parade for the LSU football team on about the same route we are using to go see Barney--uggghhhh! [i]I love you, you love me, we're a happy family...[/i] Fun. Do you catch my excitement?
I had to work today. It was a busy day. I had a patient not doing well. I hope she makes it through the night. She was really pitiful.
I don't know what is up with the script on my blog. I emailed tBlog for some help, but I have yet to get a reply. Gee...thanks...and I upgraded to Pro User. That must mean no customer service. I don't know--I'm looking around at other blog services so we'll see. I just hate that I spent my money on tBlog and they don't want to or can't seem to help me!
Girl Scout orders are over. I personally bought 68 boxes. Cookies anyone? Good thing they freeze well. Like I really need those cookies. Yeah...right.
My sweet husband washed my car (truck--just what do you call an Expedition?) This is the second time he has washed one of my vehicles since we have been married. He must be going to miss me this weekend. What's on his mind? :oops:
We went to eat at the fish resturant here in town with my parents. We had a good time. I stuffed myself, My dad paid for it--I invited them to go eat with us and he pays! 8) I haven't seen them since Christmas---we only live about 30 minutes apart. I am a terrible daughter!
Guess I need to finish packing! I'll be gone for a couple of days.

| Two days off from work... |
| 01.21.04 (10:49 pm) [edit] |
I am off of work today and tomorrow. Today is almost over. What a good day it has been!
Tony and I are watching, "Pirates of the Carribean," and it is a strange movie indeed!
Anyway, back to today...
Tony was caught up on the houses he has been working on so he stayed home. This house had really become a mess and laundry has been piled up---clean and dirty :oops: Tony helped me sort all the laundry and put away all the clean clothes. (I was really tired of living out of laundry baskets!) Wasn't that just sweet of him? I thought so! One load off of my shoulders...pardon the pun!
oohh this movie is a little scary for my taste! Or creepy! I'm glad I did not rent it while alone!
I really need to be in the bed asleep. Since I've gone days, it is really hard to stay up this late!
Everyone is asleep. The t.v. is blaring...I am going blank in my thoughts! I guess it really is time to hit the hay!
See you tomorrow.

| Good day at work... |
| 01.20.04 (7:55 pm) [edit] |
Not much happened today...it was a good day at work. We did have one code to run to, but I didn't have to work it--we had enough therapists in room already. :( Not that codes are fun, but they sure do create excitement on a ho-hum day! I've been up since 3 a.m. this morning. Haleigh woke up saying she didn't feel good (she always says that--so she can usually get out of school!) She said, "I 'm going to throw up," I told her you are fine...she did not have a fever...I said go back to sleep, and you'll feel better once you get up again and get moving around ([i]in other words[/i]...[b]YOU ARE GOING TO SCHOOL SISTA!)[/b] Well, she kept whining, so I went to the kitchen and got her a couple of crackers to settle her stomach...hey...[i]that's what my mama did for me![/i] She took a few bites of one and I heard that horrible sound---when I got her crackers, I also got her a bucket--just in case! She started vomiting...ughhh! Well by that time, I figured out that she really felt bad. Especially when I saw last night's dinner undigested in the bucket [i][b]YUCK![/b][/i]I'm Respiratory--not a nurse...I can't stand vomit! Bad mommy for not believing my child--I was just going by her track record of her saying she's sick and 10 minutes after 8 a.m. she is healed as if by a miracle!
Oh well! She was feeling better by lunch, so that is good. She needs to go to school tomorrow. She has had a day of rest. Hannah, Haleigh, and Holleigh, went to the neighbors house with Tony, so she must be foing better...I did warn him that the neighbor's grandaughter had mono. He said she would not be there. Hope not--never had mono--don't want mono!
I am off work on Wednesday and Thursday, will work Friday, then it is off to Baton Rouge on Saturday and Sunday! I need to check my schedule to see if I am also off on that Monday and Tuesday! I better be!
Need to read my email and everyone else's blog(just to remind myself I am not the only mom losing her mind!)

| Off work early today... |
| 01.19.04 (3:37 pm) [edit] |
The workload was low at work , meaning patients are getting better and going home, so I was able to leave at 2:00 p.m. The bad thing about it is--I still have to go tomorrow! YUCK! I'm so ready for the weekend! hahahaha Today is only Monday, but I did have to work yesterday so my weekend was cut short.
Well, Saturday, we did not make it Chuck E. Cheese. It was nasty with the rain and I was hoping it would clear up some. So I held off until it was too late to drive to the coast. I had to wake up at 4 a.m. on Sunday, so I did not want to be out too late or driving in the dark! I'm like a little old lady...don't like driving in the rain or the dark! Anyway, we went to get Haleigh's stitches out, and then I decided I would take them to see Peter Pan at 4:30. I called Tony to see if he would be back from fishing so that he could go with us. He would not have been back by 4p so I decided to take the girls to the Pizza Hut and then we would meet Tony at his mom's and go to the movies at 7:00p.m. Well, we went to Pizza Hut and then we went to his mom's house, then I started feeling VERY sick! I guess from eating Pizza Hut! Food poisioning takes 24 hours to show up so I don't think that was it , but I felt pretty bad. I laid down (feeling sick physically and emotionally--because I did not do a thing with my girls that I had planned!) Tony took them to Toys R Us and Walmart, bought some movies and a DVD player, and the girls were thrilled. Turns out, Haleigh did not want to go see Peter Pan at the movies. So Daddy turns out to be the hero of the day.....[i]argghhhh! [/i]Hehehe Oh well, life goes on! Hannah did bring me a blanket, covered me up, and said, " I love you , mama, I hope you feel better!" Haleigh and Holleigh drew me some life size portraits! How sweet is that! Guess I'll try another day! :oops:
My baby brother had a birthday yesterday. He's not really a baby at 28 years old. Sometimes I wish I was still 28....21....heck--18! I am really starting to feel old! I'm only 33, but 40 will really hurt me!
I guess I'll get off my tail and try to increase productivity around here! Tune in tomorrow for the next episode of [i][b]My Life[/b][/i].

| All is quiet here... |
| 01.17.04 (6:39 am) [edit] |
The hubby left at about 4:00 a.m. to go fishing with his bass club. The girls are still asleep. It's just me, my blog, some dill pickles, and some cranberry-grape juice! What a combination! No, I am not pregnant...I just happen to like those to things to eat and drink. The other day, I broke down and bought a gallon jar of kosher dill pickles from Sam's Club. We've just about gone through the whole jar. The girls love them, too.
There was not much accomplished on my list yesterday. I did meet my friend Deva at McDonald's for lunch (this was accomplishment because we can never seem to get together!) I ran late as usual! We both agreed that we let our kids [i]rule[/i] us. [i]Speaking of...I hear the little women in there stirring around![/i] No! Not yet! I still need some mommy time! :(
I am taking them to Chuck E. Cheese today--it is a surprise for them. I guess I'm going to wing it alone. I imagine it will be like the last time I went alone. What am I saying? I usually--always go alone! Enough about that! I could always ask my MIL to go, but I think I won't bother with that!
I have to work Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, so I may be out of action here for a couple of days, but you never know...people always find a way to satisfy their addictions!
Here is a pic of my three little gals. It is an old one. I need to hurry and get the scanner thing worked out so that I can load some newer pics on my computer! People are getting tired of seeing this same picture on everything!

| Busy Day Ahead--- |
| 01.16.04 (10:01 am) [edit] |
I have a lot of things to do today! So, why am I on the computer? Who knows---I'm addicted. I guess there are worse addictions. [i][b]My name is Lisa and I am addicted to my computer.[/b][/i] Ok, there---my first step! Addictions aren't funny, I understand that---it is serious stuff, but I am being serious! Anyway...
My list for the day:
!. Get dressed.
2. Get girls off to school.
3. Fold some laundry and put up.
4. Take scanner back(which # is this on my returns of scanners?)
5. Find dress and shoes for Mardi Gras Ball(more on this later in the blog)
6. Lunch for Holleigh and me.
7. Get girls off school bus( I hate the car line at school!)
8. Go to clinic and get Haleigh's stitches out(Anyone else care to volunteer for this one?)
9. Console traumatized Haleigh with a "prize."
10. Console other 2 girls because they didn't get a prize.
11. Call an old friend. (Talk about old times before marriage and kids!)
12. Check email 100 times today! (Delete 90 submissions of SPAM!)
13. Find a sucker...er...friend to go to Chuck E Cheese with me tomorrow!
14. Call my parents. (We live 30 minutes apart--haven't talked to them in about 2 weeks!)
15. Recite, [i][b]"I love my husband[/b][/i]" 10 times an hour and remind myself [i]why[/i] I love my husband!
16. Decide on supper.(spaghetti, salad, applesauce, and garlic bread)
17. Spend time with each of my girls [i]alone.[/i] Why is this so hard to find time for?
18. Save some time for the hubby!
19. Clean off computer desk.
20. Get ready for tomorrow and go to bed.
Now, this is just the hotspots---I'll do a million other things in between these! LOL
[i][b]About the Mardi Gras Ball[/b][/i]--Hannah is in a Ball in Baton Rouge at the end of the month. I have all the girls dresses. Tony will wear a suit. His "funeral" suit as we call it, because that is the only time he wears it! I've put off getting my dress( trying to lose weight--yeah right!) I hope I can find one! We have to take Hannah not this weekend, but the next one, for practice for the MG BAll. That same weekend, Barney is coming to Baton Rouge...so guess what we are going to! The girls will love it! Tony told his mom he wasn't going...guess he has more important stuff to do than [b]BEING WITH FAMILY[/b]. Yes that was a YELL! He told me, I'm not going unless there is a reason you really need me to go! ( How about being with your family--bud!) Anyway, I told him, " You just do what you feel you need to do," and left it at that. This phrase usually works on him every time. We will have to see, though. If not, well....I'll just have to go alone. The story of my life. Ok now, I'm getting negative.. I'll stop--just neede to rant and rave a bit. I need to get up for a bit--I'm not getting anything done sitting here! Until next time...

I've really messed up my website! I don't know how to use Front Page(remember--I'm computer stupid!) So , I'll have to figure out what I need to do! Send me ideas!

I got off work at 6p and picked Holleigh up from the MIL's. She keeps her on the days I work. We got home at 7p. House is a mess! [b]YUCK[/b]! We had corn dogs for supper...not what I wanted! I was wanting spaghetti, but I'm so tired and just wanted to cook something [i][b]fast[/b]![/i] I am off for the 3 day weekend and want to do something more than clean! Maybe I'll take the girls to Chuck E Cheese on Saturday. I'll have to see about that! I'm trying to talk a friend of mine(but she's a nurse) who works the opposite shift of me, to call in "sick" so that she can go to Chuck E Cheese! I'm so terrible!
[b][i]Tony needs the phone so I'll be back---darn dial-up![/i][/b]

Holleigh and I just got back from preschool, Sam's, Office Depot, McDonald's, and Walmart! Whew! Glad to be home! I went to Sam's to take back the scanner(#2) that did not work on my computer. Well...idiot here forgot to take the software CD out of my computer and put back in the box. So--that means another trip to Sam's. After that lovely moment, we went to Office Depot to look at the scanners. Anywhere I go, all the salespeople usually end up telling me I need a whole new computer! This coming from stores that SELL computers! Yeah, right...I'm not soooo stupid. I see a pattern here. :roll: I know there is a scanner out there for my system. It may not be top of the line, but there is one. So, I bought a webcam from Walmart that will suffice for now. Needless to say... the house did not get much done to it! I did wash some clothes, but I have a ton of clothes to be done! Wouldn't it be nice if we didn't have to wear clothes? Goes back to that Adam and Eve thing! They should have never eaten that apple. Oh well--fig leaves would have shredded in the washer--don't you think? I'm just rambling! I am going to try my webcam. It is supposed to be plug and play...we'll just have to see about that! No...I won't be live on the webcam---I hate regular cameras, so don't think I am going to broadcast my mug over the internet! Might do some still shots of old photos--that's it! Later

I always tell my girls that it is better to tell the truth, because if you lie, the consequences will be worse. Ok... so I lied to my hubby. I told him if he would take Holleigh to preschool, I would work on the house---what a mess it is! Well...here I am on the computer chatting with my friend Deva and surfing the web! I haven't done a thing and I have to pick Holleigh up in 1hour and 3o minutes!
He'll get over it! I didn't mean to lie! I did not start out to lie! Is that the same?
I didn't post anything negative! How am I doing girls?! Keep me to my word those of you readng this!
:oops:
Tomorrow I start the dayshift :? which means I have to get up at 4:00 A.M. YUCK! I better go to bed at 9:00 or 9:30 tonight! No "quality time" for the hubby tonight! :twisted: Guess I will post later! I've got to clean up the house now!

| Lazy day |
| 01.12.04 (6:15 pm) [edit] |
Last night at work was my last night. I am officially day shift now. Life goes on... it was a pretty uneventful night--thank goodness! I got to MIL's about 6:30 a.m.--Tony and the girls stayed there last night(of course), so he had to take the oldest two gals to school. I climbed in the bed about 6:45 a.m. and slept until 12:00 p.m. Then, Holleigh and I came home. We watched [url=http://www2.warnerbros.com]Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory[/url]..hhmmm...makes me want some chocolate! It's been a long time since I had watched that! We usually watch the Disney movie, "Mary Poppins." My girls know that by heart. Holleigh had gymnastics and I just picked her up and dropped Hannah off from 5:30p-7:30p.m. for dancing and gymnastics. Haleigh goes on Thursdays! Busy! Busy! What's on the menu for tonight? I was going to cook spaghetti, but I think maybe corndogs tonight! I'm just so unorganized today! Maybe since I am back to dayshift, I can get things back in shape---including my body! I need to go back to the gym! NO EXCUSES!! I need to clean the house tomorrow, but I also need to take my scanner/printer/copier back since it does not work on my computer. I really need a newer computer! I stay on it too much as it is! :oops: Really must be addicted!
Tony is working on a house this afternoon. He did jewelry repair this morning. Multi-talented. At least he is....nevermind...only positive things! Got to think positive things! :roll: Oh well, I guess I'll come back when I have something to post about!

I guess I better get my tail up and get dressed for work. I laid down about 8:45a, then Tony calls me. Hello-I worked a 12 hour shift last night! You don't call people that work at night before 2pm in the afternoon! I probably was not as nice as I should have been. Well, I finally drifted off to sleep---good hard sleep and the phone rings again. It is Haleigh and it is also 10 a.m.! My MIL keeping the girls today while I sleep(hahaha what a concept--beautiful sleep--vivid dreams---NOT!) Then, she calls again at 12:30p.m. then again at 1:30p.m. Forget sleep--I'm awake now! Ok, Haleigh is 6 years old and she is missing her mommy... she is excused. Where is the woman who is SUPPOSED TO BE watching my girls? What do these people think I do all night?! :x Thank God I am going back to days! I'm not a very nice person when I don't get sleep. I am about to leave to go see my girls now before I head off to work. Oh, the hubby is actually doing some electrical work today! Gee... I wish he'd finish the work around here! I've got to make a New Year resolution now--no more dogging on the hubby! I'v got to find some positive things to say about him...maybe next time! :twisted:

I'm really missing my girls right now! :cry: I've been working this weekend and sleeping in all day, so I really haven't been able to see them. They have been at their grandmother's house since Thursday! My hubby likes to stay there at night when I work :x --why? Because he does not have to do anything with the girls, for example--watch them! He gets to sit and watch all the t.v. he wants while his mom takes care of the girls. Whatever! Ok, that's enough said on that before I really get ticked!
I added the Weather Pixie today...isn't it cute? I am really trying to work on my sites to make them fun. The blinkie at the top of this post was found at [url=http://www.heartcreators.net/...]Jo's Blinkies[/url] (trying to give credit where credit is due!) Oh well...need sleep-have to work tonight! I'm off work tomorrow! Yippee! I go to days on Wednesday :( gosh--going to miss that extra money, but I will get to spend more time with my girls! :D Until next time...

[image]mississippimama_29 6859664.jpg[/image]
I just changed over my blog to tBLOG from [url=]www.Mindsay.com[/url] I like Mindsay, but tBLOG had a few more features---except--you can't backdate your entries here. So...now that I have switched all my old blog entries over, it is looking kind of strange! If you are reading my blog and don't know me, you will have to read back on my blog to get to know me and the kind of excitement I have had in the last few months. Basically, I'm a married mom to three beautiful girls--ages 8, 6, and 4. I'll post pics of them when I get my scanner hooked up--soon I hope! :)

10:42am - It's been a couple of days since my last post--but I've been a little busy. I've been at work--still nights right now, but that will change in the upcoming weeks. So--I sleep all day! Not much exciting has happened until last night. Last night's excitement was enough to last me for a while!
The Evil Knievel of our family, AKA: Haleigh, 6 years old, decided she wanted some apple to eat. We were at my MIL's house, and her grandma cut her an apple to eat. I guess Haleigh decided she wanted some more! This being my wild child, probably the reason I did not have a boy---she is wild enough! She took it upon herself to cut some more apple! I had laid on the couch and dozed off(I had worked the night before and had not had any sleep--going for 24+ hours straight!) When I laid down, all 3 girls were watching cartoons and eating supper. Grandma had cooked us supper. She said Haleigh wanted an apple after supper, so she cut her one. Anyway, Haleigh decided she wanted more and pulled a knife out of the drawer and evidently stuck the knife thru the apple on thru to her fingers. The knife cut in the web part of the fingers between index and middle fingers. I woke up to her screaming "what happend to my hand!" Blood was gushing everywhere--all over my MIL's new tile floor and carpet(light-colored!) I've never seen so much blood on my child! After I rinsed her hand, I could kind of tell what she did! So we wrapped her hand, held pressure, and off we went to the ER of the hospital where I work (wonderful-this is the only child that has had more than one ER visit--that is a different story which also happened at the MIL's house!) Anyway, they gave her three stitches and put a bandaid on her hand. I am so thankful it was not worse! I have seen worse at the ER when I've worked down there! Haleigh was such a big girl! The doc injected a deadening med several times and Haleigh screamed, but laid still. Most kids would have been thrashing and not laid there. I was so proud of my baby! After her hand was numb, he sewed her up---she just sniffled during that! She has decided not to use knives anymore...maybe she learned her lesson!

January 5th, 2004.
2:24pm - I work nights in Respiratory Care because I chose to do so. It is a lot more money, but I am about to make some changes! I also work 12 hour shifts at a time. I am tired of sleeping all day and missing out on a lot with my kids. I don't know if I could go back to an 8-5 job though! I enjoy my days off too much, but I am considering that change also so that I can be on sort of the same schedule as my family. Working nights is not for the married! It is so hard on a marriage. I've been through this sort of thing before...with the same husband and it almost ruined us...well that and a lot of other things that went on! That is another story! I really want to be a SAHM, but I have to provide the health insurance for my family. My husband is now a self-employed electrician, because construcition slumps kept causing lay-offs. He's been laid off every year from August to November for the past 2 years. This year he decided to work for himself, that way even though he may not have commercial things going on, there is still always residential things whether people building homes, or needing rewiring done. He is a union electrician--I thought that was supposed to be a good thing! So far we've not seen the good in getting laid off!
Oh well! Think about me as I decide what changes I need to make!

Feeling better...when on pain killers!
9:55pm - I took some pain killers today so I am feeling better at times, but I've slept too much! Tony was home today...all day, so he kind of took over the girls, but that was only after we had the mother of all arguments and every ache and pain and emotion I was feeling came out in one big blast! I hate to say it, but when I feel I can't take anymore, I am a dirty fighter and I am going to say anything no matter how hurtful it is, just to hurt him before he can hurt me. I refuse to let him hurt me ever again! After I finally had to lay back down (I'm so weak from being sick), he just kept saying "I still love you, Lisa" and I couldn't return the phrase, because I just don't know! That was the first big fight since we got back together from being separated. I guess it is not a good time to focus on marriage stuff when you have fever, sore throat and can't swallow 'cause it hurt so bad! I have to work tonigt, so I guess I'll run to the doctor sometime today! I just haven't felt like driving! I feel soooo woozy when I stand up!
Oh, since the fight, Tony was a lot nicer--fixed me some soup, tea, and brought it to me, and then put my dishes away when I was done! We've been married almost 11 years and I can count on one hand the times he has done that for me! If he would do stuff like that more often, I might be prone to remember the reason I married him! Everyone is in bed now and I have calmed down and a better person now. The girls go back to school tomorrow! Yippee!
Ok, enough singing! You get the picture! Haleigh is crying about returning to school though. She keeps saying, "I'll miss you". I tell her that I will miss her to and that I will be home waiting for her when she gets off the bus. She's been this way since I've gone to work nights. I am thinking of switching back to days to return to some type of normalcy in their life. Mama sleeps all the time---that's all they know right now. Well, I've sat up as long as I can tolerate. Time to lay down again for a little while! Until next time...

11:40pm - Still feeling yucky! My fever stays down only when I eat Advil like candy! Gosh! The girls were wild today! I'm so glad they finally went to bed. I did not know how much more I could take of their girlish antics! They go back to school Monday. Yippee! I did not get to do all that I had hoped to do with them. Life seems to go by so fast.
Tony came back from fishing early in the afternoon and was on a rampage because the house was a mess. I'm thinking, "OK, next time, keep you tail at home!" I just told him he could always go stay at his mom's. He hushed then, but was a jerk the rest of the evening. When he was sick, he wanted me to fix his soup for him, he just told me there was soup in the pantry. That's ok, maybe I won't be so "giving" from now on!
I guess I need to try and sleep some. I've been laying around all day, I felt I just needed to move around some.

Icky Feeling!
11:36am - It's been a couple of days since my last post. One of my New Years resolutions is to post everyday! Ooooh.. that's a toughie!
I've been sick for the last 2 days. Guess it is the same crud the dear hubby had. He stayed on the couch at his mom's for a week. So now I am sick, and he is fishing, and I've got all the girls! Go figure! I guess I don't need to post what I am really thinking!
Update on Haleigh and the ants: She looks like she had the Chicken pox she is so ate up, but she is back to her regular wild self!
This post is not going to be very long because I feel so yuck!

Happy New Year!
7:00am - Happy New Year! Happy New Year! Happy New Year!
It is now 2004. whoopee. Can't you hear my excitement? It is a new year, but why is it not so happy? For one thing--I had to work last night, while my family was sharing the new year. Tony said the girls had a great time. Maybe I am not so happy because now I have to reflect on 2003. What could I have done to make it better for me and the girls? I need to make a lot of decisions, but it is such a difficult task, one of which I have been procrastinating. Maybe 2004 will be better. Maybe I will think on some goals I need to work towards. Who knows! Happy New Year to me.

Mosquitoes?
6:34pm - No, it was not mosquitoes! I let the girls go outside to jump on the trampoline and they had been out there quite a while. I decided to leave the door open so that I could hear them and so that I could clean house a little. Well, I am ususally sticking my head out the door everytime I walk by so that I can make sure they are fine. They also know that if ANY car comes into the driveway that they are to RUN not walk inside the house! Anyway, I head someone screaming her head off after a few minutes and I ran to the door. I was wondering what was wrong. My first thought was---someone fell off the trampoline and broke an arm or something! Then I remembered...we have a trampoline enclosure and that is not possible! My 6 year old, Haleigh came running to the door screaming, "mosquitoes, mama get them off!" over and over. It scared me terribly, that it took me a second to gather my senses and realize she had ants! She was clawing her skin to death all over her little body. She had clawed her neck until she was bleeding. She had ants all in her hair! She has thick, curly hair that is almost to her waist. It was free flowing today b/c we did not put it in a pony tail. She had major tangles, leaves and ANTS all in her hair. We ran into the bathroom---I had just loaded the tub with Comet Cleanser...ughhh! So while trying to slap the ants off of her and stick her head in the sink to maybe help get the ants out of her hair, I was trying to rinse the Comet out of the tub. She was so hysterical, I finally stuck her in the tub(standing up) with the Comet rinse water. I figured I have to deal with washing the comet off of her later! I must have squirted half the bottle of shampoo in her hair and lathered it up until it was a huge ball of white suds! I figured soapy suds kills fleas, then maybe they will kill the ants, too! I scrubbed and scrubbed. I am suprised she still has hair!Bless her heart--we had soap in her eyes, too. I do not have a shower (old house) so I had to get a bucket and keep rinsing. I finally got all the shampoo out, but the tangles were even worse now! I wrapped her in a big beach towel and carried the poor baby to the den. I gave her a dose of Benadryl and Motrin, to help with the itching and maybe calm her a little. I had some Ocean Potion from this past summmer's sunburns. It has aloe vera gel and lidocaine gel in it. It seemed to help soothe her. Hannah, my 8 year old helped me smear it all over her. Haleigh had ant bites all over her face, neck back legs, everywhere! She must have had 1000 ants on her. I sat her down with me and had a bottle of conditioner and slathered about a cup full into her hair and started to work out the tangles. I worked out the tangles and a ton of dead ants out of her hair, too! It was awful! By the time I had finished, the Benadryl and Motrin had kicked in and she was sleepy. She took a long nap and is feeling a little better now! Poor thing!
Later, she told me she had gotten under the trampoline and laid on the ground. She must have laid in an ant bed is all I can figure! I bet she won't do that again! Oh well, just thought I would share my afternoon with you!

Time for me with cleaning in between!
1:07pm - 1:07pm - This morning is flying by! I downloaded Paint Shop Pro and have been attempting to learn how to use it! UGHHHH! Is there and easy way? The girls are outside on the trampoline. It is freezing cold out there---but they wanted to jump. The poor babies have not been able to jump since Santa brought it! How cruel is that? We just got home the night b4 last and then it rained all day yesterday! O what fun! I was glad they could go outside today!hehehehe--Aren't I a mean mommy?!

Where are you Christmas?
2:05am - OK...Christmas took SOOOO long to get here and then it was gone in the blink of an eye! We had a great one, but now what do I do with all the stuff? We have been at my mother-in-law's home since Christmas day. I came home last night to the mess we left Christmas morn because we had to leave about 0830 to go to my mom's!! There was no time to cleanup. Ughhh! Now I have the toys and clothes from about 4 Christmas celebrations over the past week to. Where am I going to put it all? Any ideas on what to do? I need to clean out my girls' closet(should have done that before Christmas!) They are home on school break, so that is kind of a difficult task with them here!

Hurry Santa!
7:14am - I did not realize how long it has been since I posted! Gee--I'm no fun this week! Between work, Christmas shopping, taking care of three kids (four if you count the hubby!), there just never seems to be any time for my hobbies! MY hobbies that is! So...what does that tell me? I am not taking any time out for me! The Flylady would get me on that one! Guess I better quit whining! If you don't know who the Flylady is, check out her website at www.flylady.net -I can keep a clean house using her methods and keep a sort of organized life--except for this week! I am so ready for Santa to get here! All the girls' things are bought--now just have to be wrapped. I HATE WRAPPING!!!
Merry Christmas to everyone who reads this if I don't get to post again until after Christmas!

Life in General...
4:16pm - I worked my 12 hours last night and have been dead to the world today since I have not had any sleep. Haleigh,6, was sick early this morning, starting about 3 a.m. well into the late morning. She mostly just slept. That baby is NEVER still, but she was today--poor thing! She seems to be back to her old self right now(terrorizing her sisters)!
Hannah and Holleigh have their dance and gymnastics Christmas parties today. Haleigh's is tomorrow. My work party is tonight. We are just a bunch of party people this week!
And life goes on...

Lost in Christmas wrapping paper...
4:22pm - Most of my shopping is done--for my immediate family that is! I just started wrapping some of the girls presents from us. I hate wrapping presents, isn't that horrible! I usually wait Christmas eve to do it, but not this year. My house is a little more in order this year, although I am still not ready to do a Christmas party yet. The girls are going to be so excited when they get their trampoline. Santa is bring that with an tramp enclosure. Boy, we'll all get exercise on that thing! I can't wait until Christmas to jump on it! Tony and a friend of ours is going to put it together on Christmas eve night. Hope it's not cold! It will be hard to put it together in the dark, too. Oh, our friend is going to give the girls a Lab for Christmas, which is really sweet of him, but, I don't feel like having a dog! I'll be the one to clean up the mess. YUCK! Oh well... the things we do for our children! My tree is up with a few ornaments. So I like the bare look...NOT! I guess I should be decorating it instead of being on this compter. The girls are going to decorate the tree in their room tomorrow. It will be mostly purple! Cute. I love purple, just not on a Christmas tree. It should have red and green. I am old fashioned that way. I hope I can find my way out of all this wrapping paper!

First Entry! A few thoughts on web site...
4:15pm - This is my first entry under Mississippi Mama. My website is almost complete. YAY! It has been a tough undergoing, but I am amking progress--especially since I am all new to this. I am still having trouble loading the pics on my site, though. This is very frustrating because I have some cute tags and pics to show off! Maybe soon I will be able to get it to work!

6:00pm - Life has been so busy since my last post in November! My Papaw just had heart surgery--the doc did about 4 bypasses. Everything went well. I have to admit that even though I deal with ventilators-place people on them and take them off, it sure was hard to see my Papaw on one! Sometimes you can know too much! It's a good thing he was weaned off by 1130p.m.--he was only on it about 12 hours.
Haleigh has stopped with the death issues again--I am so relieved!
I have almost finished Christmas shopping! The girls keep changing their Santa lists! this is the most expensive Christmas we have had so far!
I need to get back on my diet again. I lost 10 pounds, but then I got off my diet! Why is it that I can't finish something I start? Sometimes I feel like such a failure. My failure feelings often drifts into parenting area also! I wonder if has to do with losing my mom at such an early age. Life seems so...incomplete sometimes. Something always seems to be missing. Maybe that is why I constantly try to feed my face. What am I trying to fill? I always feel miserable afterwards. I have always done self destructive behaviors. Then I feel sooo guilty! Anybody have any insights? Until next time...

9:20am - It's been a busy week! This has been my long week at work and the hospital has been packed. That time of year again! Tony's Uncle Bob died Saturday morning. He was at home and just slumped over. They figured it was his heart. He has had a lot of heart problems. You never know when it will hit you! Haleigh has started up her fears about dying again. Maybe this time it won't be as bad as when her grandpa died. Last night she kept crying because she thought Grandma was going to die. Cont'd...
I tried to explain it the best I could. It is so hard trying to explain that to your children! I made Hannah and her go to school for a little return to normalcy! Got to have routines! Holleigh and I are going to the mall so I can find me a dress for this afternoon. My diet has not been going well the past two days. I have to get back to work on it today! Tony decided to become self-employed so no more unemployment! Yippee! Until next time...
November 13th, 2003.
8:37pm - Boy has it ever been some kind of week! I had a wreck Tuesday--I rammed somebody from behind and then the person I hit, left the scene of the accident! What's up with that? I also started the medifast diet www.medifastdiet.com and it is about to kill me! Maybe I can shed a few baby pounds! My girls are driving me crazy this week--maybe because of all the stress I am dealing with--don't know! Tony has started doing some work with different people. He has decided to go into business for himself--that way he can't get laid off! Anybody know of any good self employed health insurance plans? Let me know! I'll have to look up some on the internet! I sure do want to quit work! I told him I did not mind being a secretary for him if I can stay at home! I have got to get back to Christmas shopping!:-Z I have the trampoline and enclosure. Today, I put some pajamas and Mary-Kate and Ashley shirts on layaway at Walmart. All three girls have the same exact colored items--no arguments that way! Well, I will try to update some tomorrow! Until next time...

12:22am - We just got home from Bush, Louisiana. What a long drive! We went to eat a House of Seafood Buffet. The food was good, but the atmosphere was horrible. It was so crowded and there was no "non-smoking" section. We sat next to a table of smokers... it was so hard to try to eat and breathe at the same time. We will never go there again! Tony's Aunt Liz is here from Baton Rouge. She asked Hannah to be in a Mardi Gras ball in Baton Rouge. Hannah is sooo excited! I think it helped her self esteem
made her feel important!

Ranting and Raving!
10:01am - It is early morning and I just can't get myself going! The girls are already awake and already in WWWIII mode! UGHH! I just don't know how much I can take today! Last night, by about 9:00 p.m., I had been awake for about 39 hours! Working nights at the hospital is about to take a toll on me and my marriage again! Especially if Tony does not hurry and go back to work! He needs to realize that he has a family responsibility!
But...after 10 years of marriage, it seems too hard to end it. I get so lonely sometimes...he does not pay any attention to me--just that stupid t.v. and his fishing, hunting, and buddies. They all come first. You would think he would at least put his daughters first!
[ reply? ]
Not much today!
6:51am - There is not much going on today! Tony is gone for the day so it is just me and the girls. He really needs to get a job! I am tired of him having an extended vacation! I mean, how much fishing can you do? I need to go Christmas shopping sometime this weekend. It seems I never have time, when I have time, I never have money! I am really tired of being the breadwinner--I want to be a stay at home mom! That's enough ranting and raving today--until next time...

New Blogger in town!
12:06pm - I just joined Mindsay. I have been using Blogspot.com, but this is more colorful! I don't have too much to say right now, but I will later. I have three beautiful little girls so there is ALWAYS stuff happening with me! This is my escape to rant and rave, cry and scream, and anything else I care to express
[ reply? ]
Diet time
9:55am - I have missed a day or two because I have my days mixed up! Working at night really throws your body out of whack! All the girls are at school and Tony is at home watching t.v.--what else?! I made a major decision today...to do something about my weight. I am so sickof being 40lbs overweight! I feel miserable ALL the time. I really don't see how people who are way bigger than me function from day to day! I can bearly function at my weight of 165, but I have decided to make a change and I hope I can succeed at least once in this fight and maintain a healthy weight. ( i know that is a run on sentence--this is my journal, I am typing however thoughts come to mind!) Anyway, wish me luck! I am so tired of being fat!
Oh, how the holidays are approaching! I've already put the trampoline on layaway. Tony told me to just give him money to fish in the Fishers of Men Bass Tournaments. It is a christian based bass tournament. It will be about the same amount of money as the GPS Magellan device he wanted at first. If that is what he wants--then ok! It's done! Hannah told me she wants a Password Journal--it is electronic, and she wants a real karaoke with the screen for the words. Apparently, the Barbie one they got last year wasn't real! It doesn't matter anyway, they have already desroyed it! I haven't talked to Haleigh about what she wants Santa to bring her! Holleigh wants everything on t.v.! My parents are going to be difficult to buy for! I don't know what to get them. If you have any ideas, please post it in the comments for this date. I would appreciate it!
As of this blog--I have been awake since 3:30p.m. on Monday, November 4! I have not even gotten sleepy yet! I have got to stay awake, though! We have to go pick up my van from the dealer. I was having some warranty work done--it was until 100,000 miles and I have less than 1000 left! Talk about cutting it close! Everything was about to zonk out on it--the power windows, power locks, even the air! The brakes are terrible! They quoted a price of $448 to do a brake job! I think I am going to have to seet talk my brother into doing my brake job! Wonder if he will? He told me one time he would do that kind of stuff for me when he was home from offshore! I might just take him up on it! Well, I need to get up and o something before I start to get sleepy or else I will never get up! Until next time...

Quiet Time
10:13am - Saturday, November 01, 2003
I just got home from work and Walmart, but I am still not sleepy! It is so quiet here...the girls are at their grandma's and Tony is fishing. I am REALLY getting tired of the fishing bit---especially when I am working my tail off and he is laid off! Somebody PLEASE pray that he will get a job soon! While at Walmart, with my Christmas money, I placed a trampoline and tramp enclosure on layaway for the girls from Santa Clause. I can hardly wait to jump on it! It will be such good exercise for the girls, especially Hannah. I am so worried about her! She is getting pretty thick in the middle. I try to encourage her to exercise without stating the obvious. I guess she needs a better example from me. There is nothing consistent about my exercise routine. Anyway, the tramp is the main thing the girls are getting for Christmas, then the usual clothes and few odds and ends toys! Guess I better hop in bed and try to sleep! I have to work again tonight!

Trick or Treat
11:07pm - Thursday, October 30, 2003
We went to the Fall Festival at school and the girls had a great time! After that, we went to eat at Ward's. The girls were sooo wound up! I'll be glad when this halloween is over! The girls made 2 pet rocks a piece--and they are huge rocks! Do you see a problem that might unfold there? I can see someone dropping them on theur toes or throwing it at someone, or rocks going through the windows! Anything is possible here! I just finished instant messaging my friend Jenn. I haven't talked to her in a while so that was nice to be able to chat with her! I haven't talked to Deva tonight though! I'll have to bug her later on! I was washing clothes this morning about 5:00 a.m.--i had not been to bed all night--anyway, my dryer belt broke and I had to wake Tony up!(gee, I hated to do that--NOT!) hehehe I am so mean! Well, I had to go to the laundromat on main street! I have not been to a laundromat since 1988 at college! Anyway, like all laundromats--CREEPY! At least the police station is right across from it! I took my cell phone! The girls had to have some clothes dry! Tony fixed it, so I don't have to go again! Everything in this house is falling apart! I let Tony know the other day that I was tired of it all! I mean--I left a brand new house to come here! Ii is sooo frustrating sometimes--ok--all the time! Well, I think I am going to bed! Until next time...

Whew! I just got home from church--about 9:00 p.m. We had a fall festival with lots of games and candy! The girls racked up. Boy, do I dread all those sugar highs! I think I am going to hide some candy. hehehe There was a space jump, fishing hole, sponge throw, horse rides, horse shoes, face painting--you get the idea! Oh cake walk, too! All the kids were in their costumes--not scary/evil ones! Anyway...tomorrow night is the fall festival at the school, so we get to do it all over again! Then, there is halloween night trick-or-treating! FUN! Hear my excitement?
I had been posting about Angel, our kitten--well she is no more! We haven't seen or heard her in about 2 days. I guess a tom cat got it. That happened once before when the girls had a kitten-- a tom cat killed the other kitten and left it lying on the patio. Yuck! So I can only guess that is what happened to Angel. Oh, well--sure hate it! The girls had become really attached to it! So the saga goes on..
It is almost that hectic time of year again! I am about to embark on my Christmas shopping for this year! Tony is laid off right now, so I have decided to start early and do a little at a time to keep from doing all of it the week before Christmas! Santa is bring the girls a trampoline with a safety cage so that they will not hurt themselves. I've seen too many accidents working at the hospital. I guess they will get a few toys and clothes to even out everything. Tony is making his list. I think everything on his list has a starting price of about $300! He is 36 going on 12! Wish me luck! I am going to start the marathon tomorrow! Anybody have ideas on what to get a mother or mother-in-law that has everything? Help! Please add your ideas to the comments!

Where, oh where, has our kitty cat gone?
9:12am - Monday, October 27, 2003
Hannah and Haleigh are off to school! Holleigh does not go except on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. We are going to clean house a little before I have to go to work tonight. It is time I got back to my Flylady routines! Time to dust off the control journals---even the girls have slacked on using their routines! I kept hearing the kitten this morning and he sounded close by--he had an echoing meow! Well, it never came running when we opened the door to the house this morning, I wondered where he was! Holleigh and I went to the grocery store and when we returned, I decided to see if I could find that kitten! I walked around the house, but never found it. I kept hearing it meow, though! So, I came inside and stepped out onto the back porch which has the stairs going into the basement. When I opened the basement door, guess what came up the steps! The crazy kitten had been trapped in the basement the whole night! At least it was warm down there! Anyway, we have a basement window broken (no glass in it!) I can only assume it fell through the window last night! Poor thing--that had to hurt!
Scary, huh?! Wonder what other critters are down there! I hate going to the basement anyway, so if I need anything , Tony can go down there! Holleigh is watching Dora the Explorer right now--well the commercials are on and she is asking for everything that comes on the commercials! AND she makes sure I turn my head to see what it is...I am starting to get a cramp in my neck! I am working on a website (learning as I go) and when I am finished I will provide a link to it.
Time to go clean!!! Anyone care to join me?

My daughters' artistic sides...
6:13pm - Well, being the mean mommy that I am, I finally made my girls come inside! They have been writing on hundreds of pieces of paper--or so it seems, paper is all over my house at the moment! Here are the things that they have written:
Hannah's Stuff
Angel is my kitten. I love my kitten Angel. She is playful and cute. She is cuddly. She looks like a tiger. She is the prettiest thing I ever seen. The end.
Haleigh's Stuff:
My cat loves me. I love my cat she loves me I love her thank you God for this good day! I love you my baby cat! By HaleighIsn't that just sweet? Holleigh drew pictures and I can't post those!

Dance-dance-dance
3:07pm - It has all of a sudden become cooler! The girls have been outside most of the day playing with Angel! I have never been able to get them to stay out there that long, now they don't want to come inside! They used to want to watch TV all the time and I would make them turn off the TV to go outside. With moaning and groaning they would go, but then they would only be out there about 5-10 minutes each time! Last night, Haleigh even woke up several times asking about the kitten! I really think my girls are obsessed with this kitten! Today is such a lazy day. The sky is so dreary and gray. I love cool weather, but I hate gloomy skies. There is nothing really exciting going on today. I need to work on cleaning my house. I have really slacked on my routines.
The flylady usually helps me keep everything decent--I don't know what has come over me! I guess it must be from going nights! All I want to do is sleep! I will have to set the timer after while. The girls usually do well when we set a time and put Jessica Simpson or Britney Spears on the stereo, (Jessica is the better role model! Oh yeah, I've got to find some costumes for the girls for Halloween. I have to work that night! Hannah has a Girl Scout outing and Tony is taking Haleigh and Holleigh around his mom's street and to my mama and daddy's house. I wish they would wear their recital costumes from last year! Those were $50-$60 a piece! Hannah and Haleigh each had three costumes apiece. I need to try to use them a little and get some more money out of them! The girls tell me that they want to be princesses AGAIN! They dress up like that every year! Maybe we can be more creative this year. I don't like scary costumes for kids. Something about kids wearing evil things really bothers me! We are having a little fall festival at church on Wednesday before Hallween and they are not allowed to wear scary costumes. The kids always like the booths and candy! Speaking of dance, I am going to try to get Holleigh switched to another class. She is four and supposed to be in the 3-4 year old class, but there is nothing but 18 months to 3 year olds! What's up with that? I really don't think she is learning as much as she can for her age--the babies are holding her back. Her sisters teach her a lot of flips and stuff here at home! I hope Laura will switch her--we may have to quit. I refuse to pay if my child is not learning things appropriate for her age. More on that tomorrow....

What's shaking my windows?
1:41am - WOW! It is storming here! Yes...I am still awake! Everyone is sleeping and the rain is pouring down. I am suprised the girls have not jumped out of bed with the daylights scared out of them! For that matter, Tony either! LOL He really hates bad weather! I don't exactly care for it, but he really gets scared! Our new kitten, Angel, is really wailing outside--or whatever it is that cats do that makes so much noise! I kind of even felt sorry for it and tried to find a box to put it in to bring the poor thing inside. No box found, thus no inside kitten! Don't you just hate it? I probably would have ended up being extremely miserable anyway. I know the little thing is scared to death! The storm sounds like it is really flooding the yard. Thunder and ligtning booming and striking--- who can sleep with all that? I guess I need to try if we are to make it to church this morning. Oh, I almost forgot! I have to change the clocks tonight! What is it? Fall forward? Hopefully, we will be on time! Maybe the power will not go out!

Filthy Babies--YUCK!
11:43pm - We really enjoyed the fried fish! I am stuffed! Now, I am trying to get the girls in the bathtub. Why don't little girls like to take baths? Mine are so filthy tonight! They played with the kitten, Angel, and jumped on the trampoline. Their feet and legs are black--not to mention their clothes! Haleigh tried to lay on the floor and pretend she was asleep so that she wouldn't have to take a bath. She also said that she was afraid of the dark. I told her that the dark ought to be afraid of her! hehehe She is soooo wild!

Cats! EEK!!!!!
9:39pm - The girls found a kitten that strayed to our house.
We have some wild cats in the back field that we can never catch. Hannah, Haleigh, and Holleigh were so excited that this kitten came up! They have played outside so much since it showed up! All I have wanted to do was sleep, because my body is still clocked by the night shift! I can't sleep as long as they are outside! Ughh! Anyway, they have named the new kitten, Angel. I have to keep reminding them to wash their hands though because I am VERY allergic to cats! Cats make me very miserable! The things we bear so our kids can have a little enjoyment in life! I guess it is lots of Benadryl for me! We are supposed to be meeting Tony at a friend's home for a fish fry! I am being bad--I am still not ready--I am on the computer! Bad wife! Guess I better bet ready so that I can pig out!

4:51am - I am really having trouble using this blog! I posted the other day, but I was not able to see what I posted! Maybe I wll figure it out soon! Well, I slept all day because I worked all night before. ICU was quiet until about 10 minutes until 6 a.m.--I get off work at 6 a.m. so this just made my day! I did not leave the hospital until 6:45 a.m. I was VERY tired!ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz z Hear me snoring? heeheehee Anyway.. the house was a mess, but I came home and climbed in the bed and drifted off to slumberland. I was so suprised to wake up to a clean house! No, this was not a dream, Tony cleaned the house for me! He does have a really sweet side sometimes. Okay, so he might have just been tired of the mess--let's give him the benefit of the doubt! This is my weekend off, so what am I going to do? I haven't figured that out yet. We had some friends over for dinner and that was nice. The kids had a blast outside--they were filthy when they came in! Ughhh! Now everyone is fast asleep, but me! Maybe I will try to lay down for a little while! Maybe this will post on my blog!

First blog...ever!
3:50am - This is to be my very first blogging session! You will have to forgive me if it is a little "rough" around the edges. I am a mom to three beautiful daughters, ages- 8 years, 6 years, and four years-old. I have been married for 10 years-WHEW! It sure does seem like forever! Anyway...being a mother can be so difficult at times, especially with all girls. I guess with a little patience and a lot of prayers, and only God, moms can conquer just about anything we set our hearts out to do! Well, it is late and I do have to work tomorrow night. I need some rest! More about me to come...
