Mommy Meltdown

So, last Friday my 9 week old Princess Baby came down with a cold. I swear to bejesus that she picked it up at Walmart. I can tell you the exact moment in Tuesday we walked by a man chewing on a cough drop. I remember saying to my husband, "hold your breath, that dude is sick!" As I threw the blanket over the baby's head and hurried away.
Friday comes and she is so congested! I called her doc and since she bad no fever or green snot and she was eating like a horse they said not to bring her in.  The next thing I know, it is Sunday and her Daddy says "uhoh I'm getting her cold!"
I told him he is full of shit, you can't catch a cold from a baby!!!!
Ummmmm....I was wrong. Yes I said it. I will even repeat it. I was wrong.  The little shit has infected my whole house, except for me.  Both of her sibs are now sniffling their heads off, loading themselves up with cold meds with dear old dad.
Everyone being sick means that I had zero help with the baby monster, so my house looks like a deleted scene from a disaster movie.
I spent the morning bouncing the cranky baby and trying to get her to stop crying.  Yeah, that worked out well. Then I spent about 20 minutes locked in my bedroom with her pleading with the kid to just please stop crying, which ended up with me laying next to her on the bed, curled in the fetal position sobbing louder than she was...still in my night gown with my hair a mess at 2 pm.
One kid wanting lunch, the other needing data added to his phone, and Daddy Bear snoring away, comfortably settled in he recliner with a pillow and blankie.
Not the best thing for my mood at that point! But he is sick so I gotta let it slide, right?
Finally the baby takes a nap, I get everyone some lunch and she wakes up...did I mention that it was a short nap??.
Ughhhhh I  still in my night gown!!!
around 4 she decided that I was going crazy enough and decided to take another nappy poo....so....
I got dressed! In dirty yoga pants and a questionable t shirt, but I am dressed and my hair is somewhat in order.
We decided on pizza for dinner and guess what! It isn't cooked all the way when hey bring it!  So, of course, here we sit starving while we wait for the Papa Mobile to bring us some cooked ones!
9:30 please get here fast, so Mommy can have her melt down!!!!!
This is no life for a Princess :::sigh:::

Feel the Earth Shake

"Two earth quakes and a kajillion after shocks in 2 days and i didn't feel a damn thing. I guess i should consider myself lucky, but dammit, I could have at least felt a little bitty rumble." blog post started by me on January 8, 2010. I got busy doing something else and logged off. Then we have the Haiti disaster and I feel awful for even thinking that, much less putting the thought out there. I'm bitching about not feeling a itty bitty earth quake and those people are fighting to survive after not only feeling the big one, but losing everything that they own. I am going to say that I am ashamed of myself for whining over choosing to leave things behind when we moved....I have the ability to get new things, and I brought what was important with me, family photos, mementos, antiques, my favorite clothing, gifts from my husband that I would never part with, even the clothes that I burned in.....and my husband and children. I am ashamed of whining abou...

Quiet Saturday Morning....What to do?

Wow!  Shhhhh it's quiet!  I just realized that I would blog more if I had a new keyboard and a comfy chair...what an excuse!  lol So, we sold my son's Jr Dragster last weekend.  It was kind of bittersweet, but he will end up with another one.  He wanted to go to Disneyland with some of the money, so that cheered us all up!  No one can be sad at Mickey's house, and if you can, then you need to be on meds! Of course I had to wear my sparkly ears and my tiara.  Together, they look like 1 piece and everyone asks where I got them...but I don't give away my secret  =)  I get to be the only Princess Minnie there, and that tickles me.  My hubby got on a roller coaster and shocked the daylights out of me.  It wasnt a super skeery one, but he doesn't like drops and dips...but he liked it!  My son talked him in to getting on it, he is too short to ride by himself, and I was fighting a head cold, so I wasnt about to do it. The only dow...

I'm HOW old?

Damn. I woke up one morning, and I wasn't a kid anymore. Funny thing is, I knew I was married and had 2 kids. Hell, I even owned a house and had a cat, a vehicle payment, a job...bills...i knew all of that. Why didnt I get the memo about growing older? I am telling you, that shit just snuck up on me. I never felt it, and I be damned if I saw it....but there it was. In the mirror. Aw, i knew about the grey hairs, who am I kidding. Those don't count. I have been hiding those since I was in my early twenties. Let me clarify. I do NOT feel nearly 36 years old. I barely feel 26. Most days, I don't think i look 30. Well, sometimes when I'm feelin' bad and all sorry for myself, I think oooh poor pitiful Princess, your almost to the bottom of the hill, you may as well join the AARP! Anyway, my husband is only 33. I think he's hot. A lot of my friends think he's hot, and he's a sweet guy...so the age thing tends to get to me once in a while. I...
