Yeah!! I am so happy! I just got this set up to send texts or email to update my blog!! Woohoo! Now if I am out and about and want to update, or in the car being the passenger and I have a thought I want to blog I can!!
Gotta brag on the littlest one again! Z has been doing great with potty training! She has been using pullups and hasnt had hardly any accidents! Yesterday she wore one all day at the babysitter, as the day before! She only pottied in her pullup while we were on our way to the City! So, while at Wal*Mart, we changed her pullup. Made it home, and it was dry. Which is pretty cool considering she fell asleep on the way home! So we get home, and she said she didnt need to potty. She wore her pullup to bed and guess what!!!! It still had the butterflies on it!! The ones that let you know if they have pottied in them or not!! Way to go Z!!
We got a few snacks and such when we were in the city. I was really hoping to get me and Z a new swimsuit. I hate shopping for swimsuits for me! =0( I am ok for the most part with my body. I mean, I would love to have a little more in the chest area, and a touch flatter of a stomach! But for the most part my body is pretty good for having had 5 babies! I just have this one area on my hips I guess it is that drives me insane. Just need a cute suit that can hide that part! Most suits dont cover it! I am sure there is the perfect cute one out there, just need to keep looking! And when it comes to suits for Z, I am not one for getting the cartoon characters on the suits. I just dont think they look as cute. So I am on the look out for a cute pattern suit for her. Which Wal*Mart only had character ones! =0( Wish we didnt live an hour or so away from the City! Only made it to Sam's and Wal*Mart last nite!
Casey had Aladdin on his computer playing right now! I forgot how much I like that movie! The Genie just came out! *LOL* Amazing how easy the words to "Never had a friend like me" come screeching right back to you! I think I must have watched it alot when it first came out and I was babysitting!!
I really need to figure out how to update the place! Need a new background and such! I never really could change it without it being a royal pain in my ass! Maybe I will see what I can find!
Tonite I am feeling off. Dont know of anything really to set it off. Just while watching t.v. tonite I felt sad. Almost to the brink of tears really. Maybe it is the stress of wishing we could be a little more financially stable, maybe it is stress of feeling like I dont have control of everything, or maybe it is because it is March.
Ahhh March! A time of good things! Such as Kenzi's birthday and March Madness! And of one sad thing, Carli's Angel day. I dont think that my feeling down today has anything to do with Carli. I really dont. I am pumped about my Jayhawks beating K-State last nite! Wow! That was awesome! They have won the Big XII title for the past 6 years! This year we won it out right! No sharing with Texas, or that stinky KSU team!
My uncle made a comment on my aunt's facebook (not the one he is married to!) status about Rock Chalk Jayhawk. He said, and I quote "yea, but who's #1? Syracuse!!" I couldnt help but to reply, " yea! but who has had #1 for the majority of the season!" LOL I am a very proud Jayhawker! I cant wait for the NCAA tourney! I LOVE March Madness! Sadly, I think this year we may not have our annual March Madness brackets. All because we are going to go to Mall of America. I am kinda bummed about it to be honest! Not about the possiblity of winning overall, even thou that is great! But just because it makes watching the games SO much more fun! My boss doesnt think he can handle making sure all the brackets get put in on time. Which, I dont know if he would get them all in to be honest. I am usually all over doing it! Like I said, I LOVE doing it! I guess I could always still fill out a bracket just to make it fun for me! LOL Wonder what the hotel we are staying at would think if I had my boss fax me all the brackets! Better yet! I wonder what my husband would think! LOL
I seem to talk alot about sports. I have even had it pointed out to me on Facebook! Once I did one of those things that tells you what the most used words are in your status updates. I think my top word was games! Not kids, or one of the kids names! One of my dear friends laughed at me. She asked if I was really surprised that was one of the most used words. I guess not! I talk about Kaela and her sports, and Carter and Keaton and their sports!
Right now I am gonna talk about Z and how proud I am of her! We tried potty training a few months back. I still think she was ready for it...but daddy didnt. Well, her cousin Colby, who is 6 months older than her, is trying to potty train. So we are going with it again! I have talked to the babysitter about it. She is great about helping with it during the day. So much so that she even makes little awards for Z to let me know how well she does during the day! Tuesday she sent home a paper that said she went 3 times and tried several more times. That nite I had been home about 30 minutes when Casey had given me the note from the sitter. I then asked Z if she still had a pull up on. So we looked and she did. It was still dry! Casey had probably had her for about 2 hours at this point. She kept it dry until the middle of the nite sometime when she pottied during her sleep!! Then this morning I was talking to her about how yesterday went. She said that Kenzi kept her pull up dry all morning, used the potty quite often, and only pottied in her diaper that she put on after lunch for nap time. Today was an even better day!! Her little award said that she kept her pull up dry ALL day, even thru nap time!! I am so stoked!! We bought some cute little panties the other day! And her Grandma NiNi got her a little 3 pack of Dora panties! I am so happy and sad all at once! She isnt even 2 yet! What a big girl!!
"I thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too! I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and your picture in a frame. God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart!"
I saw this on one of my friends facebook page. How true this is! I can hardly believe that Carli would have been 3 here in a few weeks! And that Kenzi will be 2! Just seems like I was pregnant with each of them!
I hate not having enough money. I know, welcome to the life of most people huh?
There is nothing that I would love more than to have everything caught up! I just seem to need a little more money!!
Ok, venting done!
It is Sunday again already! I always seem to not like Sundays, since I know I have to work again tomorrow. This weekend was not good for my KU Jayhawks!! =0( We have been ranked #1 for a while now. Going into our last 3 games, I knew it was gonna be rough. We played at OSU yesterday. And we lost! Actually, of our last 3 games, I guess if we had to lose to someone, I would want it to be them. Our last 2 games are K-State at home, then at Mizzou. And I really hate losing to either one of them!! LOL
I know, my mind seems to just run from thought to thought. And I'm sorry. Just really wanting to get back into the swing of blogging. I know I have said that quite a few times. But I really do mean it. Seems like I dont have time, or energy sometimes. Or not having a laptop makes a huge difference too. I thought my charging port was messed up on my Gateway....so I hadnt used it. Turns out the charger I was using was messed up! So after Christmas I got a Acer net book. It is nice to have, but I miss the fuller size keyboard of my laptop.
I want to get more pics on here, but during the winter, I just really dont get many good pics taken. I am so glad spring should be on its way! And I'm sure I will get some pics when we go on Spring Break! Woohoo!!
I am so over winter! I dont think I can take any more snow or cold!
Ok, so now that I have that out of my system....lol! I am looking forward to Spring Break! Three years ago on Spring Break, we had Carli. Two years ago on Spring Break we had Kenzi. Last year I took the week off and stayed with the kids. This year we are making it count! We are going to go to Mall of America in Minnesota! The kids are so excited, as are Casey and I. We are going to be taking one of Kaela's friends, Sheigh, too.
We are planning on going to the Nickelodeon theme park, the aquarium, mirror maze, the water park of america, and mini golf. Think there is some other stuff too, just cant remember it all.
The kids are doing great! Mikaela has had a good year at school with sports and such. She was on the 7th grade Varsity Volleyball team. She rocked it as usual. Then for basketball, she was a bubble player. So she played for both the JV and Varsity teams!! Right now she is doing cheerleading for the boys basketball....next up is track! And of course before long there will be summer softball! Which we love!!
Seems like I never have enough time for anything!! I have thought about blogging, but since a certain someone messed up my laptop, I havent had much of a chance to get on!
Things are going ok! Seems along with not having enough time, I also dont have enough money! But I know I am not the only one! The kids start back to school on the 20th! Kaela isnt too excited about school, but she gets to play volleyball this year! She starts practice the 17th! I am really excited about that for her too! She is an awesome volleyball player!
Carter is really looking forward to school this year! He is going into the 2nd grade! He is the one when you ask if he is ready, he is excited about it!! Keaton is pretty excited too! He will be going into the big Kindergarten!! This will be interesting for him! K here is an all day affair!
Z is getting bigger and bigger by the day!! I cant believe how big she is getting!! She is 17 months already!! Where has the time gone? Our morning routine will be a bit different this year! I will only have her to take to the sitters.
Well, I need to go clean some more! I came to put a sheet on the bed and decided to blog real quick! I want to get on here more! Whether that happens or not we shall see!
