Slip of the tongue

Today Bradley had off so we spent some time in Idaho Falls. We went to old navy to get hunter some jeans because he has definetely outgrown his. We were looking around and I noticed a mom with her two girls, one of which definetely had dwarfism. We got Hunter a pair of jeans and went over to the girl section to see what there was for Gookie. Gookes has the shortest legs ever, so we were trying to see what size she would fit into. I had Brad hold her up and put a 2T next to her and said "oh yeah, those will totally dwarf her!" and slapped my hand over my mouth as I realized the mom and her two girls, one of which IS a dwarf was right by us!!!! Brad could not believe I said that, I CANT BELIEVE I SAID THAT!! I didnt say it to be funny or anything, it just came out. Brad said "i would imagine me saying something like that, but not you!" Yeah. I feel dumb.

Sink saga

5:30 the kiddos and I headed to Memaw's house. We had a wonderful time and the kids played and played outside. It was just what the kiddos and I needed. Memaw and I had a great visit. Then we left at 9pm and came home to a note on the door from the rooter man who said our sink was fixed. We ran the water for a long time and it all seems good. HUZZAH!!!!

I have sprayed the sink with bleach and it seems to be smelling better.

Now Brad and I are vegging and watching king of the hill. Good times, good times.

Friday thus far

Has not been eventful. It has been spent inside waiting for the Roto Rooter guy yet again. I have to be where I can hear anything because he most likely doesnt know we are in the basement. So we have spent all day in the basement. Right now HUnter is in the bathtub playing with shaving cream and water. He's happy and that's what matters. I really wanted to go and do something fun with the kiddos today.

It is 3:50 pm and I hope he comes soon. We got a bunch of water out and an hour ago I heard the sink bubbling and it was full os sewer water. Oh man it smells like vomit and I am sick of being in this stinky house.

So we are planning on going to spend time with Memaw at her house this evening. Brad is at work until late tonight so unfortunately he will miss the fun. I am just hoping this guy wont be too late so we can spend some good time at Memaw's before getting late.

Gookie has not been walking as much today. She has done some and that is a heck of a lot better than nothing! She has little pig tails on top of her head and I just want to eat her up!

Hunter and I were playing hide and seek earlier and I jumped out and scared him. He loves that, only as he was running away he was look back at me and totally bumped his head. I felt horrible and he had big tears. And as I rocked him in my arms and kissed his cheeks he said "I need my Daddy!" and just then Brad called and Hunter got to talk to Daddy. I wasnt the bad guy for too long because after the tears stopped HUnter asked for me to scare him again. I put him in the tub instead.

And that is about it.

Hallelujah!!

Gookie will be 16 months old on the 22nd and is not walking. She is sooo stubborn. She truly can do it, but its when she wants to do it and if we try when she isnt willing, wo man!
Tonight after dinner we were sitting in the family room and Brad stood Gookie up and she just took off and walked to me!!!! I couldnt believe it. So we did it more and more and I got further and further and she would walk from me to Brad and from Brad to me. Then Brad had to get up because our sink was leaking because they were running their dishwasher up stairs. (yeah our house smells like vomit and she was very rude when we asked if they could not run their dishwasher, but i digress)
So Gookie had walked to the chair was Brad was and then he left. And all by herself she just walked away from the chair by herself!!! I am absolutely THRILLED!!
I couldnt find my camera until after Hunter stripped down and Gookie took off her diaper! Maybe she likes the feel of the breeze as she walks so fast!!
We had her walk until she wore herself out. I am so happy!! Good videos coming soon.

OUCH!!

So i was going about my morning normally. I had done the dishes (as much as I could before the sink clogged) and I super swept the floor. Then a sharp pain started in my left ovary and it got worse and worse. I got the sweats, sick to my stomach and nautious and I seriously thought i was going to die! I didnt know if it was toxic shock or what! Brad was donating plasma and I called dear Beth and she came over. I was talking to my mom on the phone and totally passed out!! I was hurting so bad!! I knew i needed to get to the ER or something. Eventually the other symptoms lightened up and eventually the pain subsided and I felt like a baby!! One minute I was dying and then I was okay. I called my obgyn office and told them about it and they talked to the dr and told me that it was a ovarian cyst that had ruptured!! This happened long ago to me in high school. So now that it has ruptured I feel like new. If I have any pain at all I am to go to the dr right away. I am relieved it is over and now I can go back to cleaning the house.

Monday and Tuesday

Bradley had off!! It was so nice to have him home and we kept busy. I mean, we had errands and things to do to get out of the house. The kiddos are doing MUCH better and we are all sleeping better which makes a world of difference!

The sink is still having some problems with draining VERY slowly and dishes take all day to do. I think Brad should call the landlord this time. I called him before and told him it was still clogged and he told me just to run hot water!! Oh brother.

Much to do today and I better get started.

Being home..

Is not all that it is cracked up to be. I am sooo bored and lonely. Mom and Dad have gone on to Vancouver to get all their things in order to be able to move to Driggs in a month.
Since being home Bradley has had to work until midnight every night and the kiddos are miserably sick. I miss a house full of a dozen children and the space of a house to hold over a dozen children.I am closterphobic (SP?) in this rabbit hutch of a home. I miss my sisters and there always being something to do and especially someone to talk to.
I also feel like I am falling apart physically. I need to get to a dr and a dentist and an eye dr!!! KA CHING!!! I have this thing on my forehead that needs to be removed, i feel like the dentist i went to a YEAR AGO for an abcess didnt do anything and feel like i am getting another abcess (I do brush and floss i sware!) My periods have not been regular for over 5 months now and my sister has diagnosed me with some condition that i never can remember the name of and i call it cystic firbosis even though i know that;s not the name.
So these are my thoughts and feelings as I wait another 45 minutes from Brad to get home. I am lonely and bored and falling apart.
