It’s amazing to me where V will fall asleep. Lately everyday around 3-4pm she’ll usually just pass out and take a two hour nap. Well Friday of course when I needed her to do that she didn’t. M left to go spend the night with her grandparents, which really made V mad. So she cried for a while and I was able to calm her down by letting her have a pack of fruit snacks. She finished them and I went in to go to the bathroom. I came out to her laying on the coffee table (this is an ongoing battle in our house, they are NOT suppose to lay on it) and went to discipline when I realized she was laying quite still.
I came around the corner and this is what I found:
So M is going to Grandmas tonight. Four times already today she’s asked if her sister can come. I told her no because Grandma wants to spend time with just her. Which is generally followed with “Why only me? Baby sister loves Grandma too…” Grrr I don’t know what to say anymore. I’d love for both to go, but they don’t ever ask for both. His mom gets so tired with just one of them.
I’m so frustrated for both girls. M wants V to come too so they can play on their slide together. And I’m sure that V will be a mess all evening.
Well I finally got a call with my results. I have an underactive thyroid, but not enough to treat (go figure). I also have elevated testosterone, which I have no idea how elevated the nurse didn’t tell me. I have an appointment for next Wednesday to talk to the doctor about the next step, which will be some fasting levels on cholesterol and liver function.
The doctor is thinking PCOS… I guess I’ll find out more Wednesday.
I am really frustrated with our phone company right now. We’ve been with out our home phone since 12:30pm yesterday. Just absolutely stupid!! I guess I wouldn’t be so upset if this didn’t happen but once in a while. But this is an ongoing problem! Everytime they come to look at it they blame it on our phone. Well they’ve replaced that twice now and we’re still having a problem. I think its their line!!
They are using this DLPS or something or other and ever since they changed over to that we’ve had problems. GRRR The guy told Mike he didnt know when they would be able to send a tech because they are severely short handed. I guess its good we have a cell phone incase of an emergency.
Growing up in Michigan it became very hard not to get excited over the Detroit Red Wings. Even though they had a 42 year drought from 1955-1997, it was hard not rooting for them.
I’ll never forget staying up late to watch the games in 1997, the highs that went along with it. Then to repeat the next year was amazing!! And they’ve been top in their division since 1999.
Since I’ve moved away I haven’t gotten to see very many of the games. I follow them religiously though thru NHL.com. I’m a die hard fan! 
Or a WingNut as we’re called. I’m loving them being in the playoffs. The only games I’ve missed were the ones when we’ve had to be somewhere. But generally we record them and try to watch them before someone tells us the score.
They lead the Finals right now 2 games to none. They’re playing tonight and I just can’t wait to watch.
****
Bummer we lost, but not with out a gallant fight!! On to Saturday!!!
I thought this was a cool picture. Its actually from May 23rd. But its pretty much the same sort of light every night at the same time…
Why people do what they do. I have this friend (who I’ve pretty much written off as a friend at this point) who had a while back told me about how he and his girlfriend had an abortion. Because it was going to mess up their life.
Well… tonight he messaged me saying I needed to Congratulate him on his impending fatherhood. I told him congrats and asked if they were getting married. He said “Of course not. We’re just friends with benefits.” I said “oh…” He said that its such a shock to them, that this is unplanned.
Its just so stupid to me. You’d think after having one abortion for an ‘unplanned’ pregnancy you’d use damned protection to keep this crap from happening. I really do not understand why at this time its different. It makes no sense to me at all. Sorry just needed to vent.
To go with all the whine I had to listen to today?? Both girls were are their finest I swear!! What I wouldn’t have given to be able to go off somewhere with a strawberry daquiri and read a book or something.
I am just beyond happy to have them in bed now. I love being a mommy, I just don’t like days when all they do is fuss and whine. Makes me so frustrated. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
I’ve been in the search of a swing set for the girlies. Every other week or so I would check craigslist to see if there were any listed. Today on a whim I looked, the very first posting I saw was for a swingset with a slide, two swings and two other pieces for 25$. There wasn’t a photo but I figured what the heck I’d call and see if they had it and if we could swing by and see it.
Much to both Mike and I’s suprise its in wonderful condition for an 8 year old swing set. Mike only had to replace two bolts that he had to cut while taking it apart.
I think it would have been worth atleast 75$, theres only a handful of rusty areas which we’re going to take care of, and its perfect!
“Will Not Be Moved”
By Natalie GrantI have been the wayward child
I have acted out
I have questioned Sovereignty
And had my share of doubt
And though sometimes my prayers feel like
They’re bouncing off the sky
The hand I hold won’t let me go
And is the reason why…
[Chorus:]
I will stumble
I will fall down
But I will not be moved
I will make mistakes
I will face heartache
But I will not be moved
On Christ the Solid Rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
I will not be moved
Bitterness has plagued my heart
Many times before
My life has been like broken glass
And I have kept the score
Of all my shattered dreams and though it seemed
That I was far too gone
My brokenness helped me to see
It’s grace I’m standing on
[Chorus]
And the chaos in my life
Has been a badge I’ve worn
Though I have been torn
I will not be moved
[Chorus]
