2 kids, 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 1 husband – life isn’t perfect, but it is what we make it

Tuckered Out

This was a wonderful weekend, but I’m not sure that you’re supposed to be more tired on Monday morning than you are when the weekend starts.

We started off the weekend at our friends’ house. The boys went downstairs to jam out while my best friend and I chatted and played with Zach upstairs. When they were done making noise, I put Zach to sleep and we all played some cards and hung out.

Saturday morning I had to get up and make a mad dash for the grocery store as we were out of milk and the little man isn’t too happy without it. When I got back I showered and then packed bags to go to my sister’s. We dropped Zach off at my sister’s with my mom who got the pleasure of watching all three boys for the evening. We ended up being a few minutes late (as usual) so we rushed out the door and headed to my friends’ wedding.

The wedding ceremony was beautiful, but as is usually the case, the reception was the fun part. Hubby and I had a great time getting our drink on and dancing with my sister, her husband, and all of our friends. We were warned ahead of time that there was a sobriety checkpoint down the road a couple of miles. Fortunately we had a DD anyway so it wasn’t a big deal but the cop gave him a hard time for having his renewal sticker in the wrong spot on the license plates. After we got through the sobriety check, there was a very interesting game of truth or dare in the “party van” as it was called all night, then a stop at Taco Bell for munchies, and a couple of stops to drop people off before we finally got back to my sister’s house.

Once we finally got there, we were all ready to crash. We slept in as late as the babies would allow, which actually wasn’t very late at all. Then we spent the day lounging around watching movies, playing on our laptops, and eating. It was fun, but we didn’t leave my sister’s until 10:00 lastnight and today I’m just exhausted. Hopefully I’ll be able to catch back up on my sleep over the next couple of days.

Hi, how are you?

Published by dee on July 14, 2006

So, I updated to MT 3.3. I guess if you stopped by recently you saw that it didn’t go so well. I royally fucked my site up, had a slight panic attack, relaxed and then re-loaded the thing from scratch. Thank goodness all the important stuff is saved in MySQL. I’m now back up and running. The only thing I am kind of bummed about is that most of the plugins I was using have not yet been updated for 3.3. Hopefully updates for the important ones will be coming soon, like the one for my blogroll. I’m so glad that it’s Friday!

By the way, I know I’m having some issues with the comments and I’m working on that. But, if you find anything else funky please let me know. Comments on this post seem to be working, but not the old ones.

In Need of a Massage

Published by dee on July 12, 2006

Sometime in the next couple of days I plan on upgrading my site to Movable Type 3.3.  So, if you come here and everything looks really jacked up, that’s why.  Chances are my templates and stuff will have to be reworked a little to fit with the new system.  In the meantime, I’ll probably be doing most of my blogging over here.

Anybody Else Wanna VOX?

Published by dee on July 11, 2006

So the people at Vox have now upgraded all starter accounts to standard and are doing away with starters.  If you get an invite now, you get full access.  So, I have 4 more standard invites to give away.  For some reason I haven’t had too many takers.  If you are interested, leave me a comment.  I prefer to give them to people I know, but I’ll consider those I don’t know too.

Stuff About Stuff

Published by dee on July 10, 2006

I had a really great weekend.  The visit with my SIL and nephew went really well.  I am so glad that they decided to come up.  I have really missed them and it was nice to get to spend some time together.  I only wish they could have stayed a little bit longer.  They left this morning and I miss them already.

Zach has been really testing my patience lately.  I know it’s not his fault, but I’m getting really frustrated with him.  He is hitting the separation anxiety phase really hard right now and I can barely walk across the room without him flipping out.  If I’m not holding him, he’s usually hanging on my legs and I can’t get anything done unless I want to listen to him scream.

He is getting pretty frustrated himself as well.  Now that he is walking pretty much all the time, he gets really upset when he loses his balance and falls down.  I hate seeing the frustration on his face and knowing that there is nothing I can do to help.  He is also getting frustrated that he can’t tell us what he wants.  He does pretty well with pointing and saying "dis" when he wants something, but there are times when I just can’t figure it out or he wants something that he just can’t have. 

Unfortunately, we also found out at the doctor’s office on Friday that he has yet another ear infection.  This is the 5th one, or possibly a continuation of the 4th one, but enough that we definitely need to get him to an ENT for evaluation.  The doctor is pretty sure that he will need to have tubes put in so that his hearing doesn’t end up being damaged.  The thought of having any kind of procedure done on him kind of freaks me out, but I know it is necessary.

Another Busy Weekend Ahead

Published by dee on July 7, 2006

I’m feeling bullety today, so here’s what’s going on with me:

  • I know I have professed my hatred for myspace before, but damnit I’m getting so hooked on that shit.  I’m not nearly as obsessive as my sister is with it, but I’ve found quite a few people I know on there, both family and old friends.  Lastnight I found someone that I was really good friends with in high school but haven’t talked to since the last day of my Junior year.  That was a helluva long time ago.  We chatted on YIM lastnight for a while and I really enjoyed catching up with him.  I’m just afraid that one of these days paths are going to cross on there that I don’t want crossing.  Internet and real life friends are mixing and that kinda freaks me out for some reason.
  • I have a ton of work that I should be catching up on right now.  I have to leave work early today to take Zach to his 1-year check-up at the doctor’s office.  I’m still not 100% positive that he did indeed have chicken pox because he only ended up with a few spots.  I’m hoping they can give a little insight about that.  He will also get more immunizations so I can look forward to having a fussy baby for the next day or two.  That should be lots of fun.
  • Tonight my sister-in-law and nephew from Louisiana are coming up for a visit.  I’m so excited to see them!  I’m hoping everything goes well.  We haven’t seen them since the funeral and I’m don’t know how difficult it may or may not be for them to be around hubby.  SIL hasn’t been keeping in touch with the family very much since then.  Our phone conversations have been very short so I’m hoping that the visit will go well.  She did send Zach a nice birthday present and card with a very sweet note in it.  Anyway, like I said, I’m very excited to see them, just a little worried about how emotional things might get.
  • Saturday night we are going down to Springfield to participate in my Aunt’s annual 4th of July bash.  There will be much food and fireworks to enjoy.  I’m really looking forward to seeing my family and showing Zach off some more.  They haven’t seen him for a while so I’m sure they will all be very impressed.  I’m anxious to see my cousins’ kids too.  We just don’t get together nearly often enough.  My SIL and nephew will be coming along for that too.  Hopefully they won’t get too bored around my family.
