Poop, Paxil, and Pageantry

Today, Clint and I have been married for four years. We have three children that both of us deeply love. We have three children that both of us look at and ask "do we have three children?" Holy shit, our lives have changed so much in the last four years. I have heard Clint walking around the house singing a tune from the wiggles. I have seen him show more patience then I knew was humanly possible. We have been shit on, pissed on and puked on. We have wiped other peoples' asses. We have had to put the needs of others before our own. Beer and wine is no longer for entertainment, it is a necessity. Clint stood by me through the death of my mother. He stood by me through pregnancy weight gain and loss (which is totally his fault). He has loved me through post partum depression. He has loved me through fights with my friends and fights with my family. He loves me for all my good and bad. He has taught me more about marriage and love in this four years then I learned in the 27...

Clint came home with more albuterol for Ethan's nebulizer and steoids. I am not sure what that means....is it in his lungs? I would love an explanation, not just medication given to Clint. I really only care if the little guy gets better, but I am an information person. I need to be armed with information...wether good or bad I must know all I can so I am prepared for everything. Boy, that sounds like a mental disorder if I have ever heard one. I am serious though. When my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, I had an entire notebook of reaserch I had done. Maybe she wasn't the information type of personality. She was more of the denial personality. The kids and I will be cleaning out the zoo cages today. I am not sure , but I think I hate Pine bedding. I really prefer the odorless crap. With the pine, it stinks even before they piss on it. Do not get me wrong, I love my bunny, guinea pigs, sugar glider and Tanner. They are just stinky more then I would like. I clean out th...

So, ten days ago, all the kids started coming down with colds. No big deal right?!?!?! Well, then on Monday, they started waking up with green goop, sealed eyes. Yes ladies and gentlemen, we also had pink eye. We took all three children to the doctor on Wednesday. They all had pink eye and ear infections. Well, five days of eye drops and antibiotics and Steven and Emily are doing fine. Ethan.....not so much. He goes back to the doctor this afternoon. He is not eating, but when he does, he throws it up. He has gone from 10 to 12 cups a day to 2 maybe 3 if we are lucky. He also has diarrhea...which doesn't surprise me with the antibiotics, but since he is not keeping up with the consumption end, I worry about dehydration. He also seems to be having labored breathing and remember not to long ago we had the fun hospital vacation with the RSV.......well, let's just say, Clint and I are very concerned. Please do not let it be phenomena. UGH!!!!! Okay, so more movies. We watched Under...

Clint and I have watched a crap load of movie this weekend. On a scale of one shit log being the worst up to five shit logs (a really clean colon) being the best, I will rate the movies. First, The Weatherman . I am a fan of Nicolas Cage and I am a fan of this movie. There are some great lines and some great laughs, all while you are faced with the not so glamorous reality of life. If you liked Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind , I think you will like this movie. I am going to recommend this movie and give it four shit logs. Second, we watched Derailed. I did not predict the outcome, but Clint did. He picked up on the "twist" pretty early on. I thought the movie was entertaining, but a little slow in some spots. the twist was good and the ending suprising. I guess this movie would be a 2 and a half...maybe three shit logs. Let me see, next was The Hills Have Eyes . I did not know until the same day we watched the movie that it was a remake . Now, this being said, I hav...

Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....if you are not interested in a Katy pity party, I suggest you move along. See that red X up in the right hand corner? Feel free to push it now. Do not leave me some stupid friggin' comment about how stupid I am. I have no problem deleting comments that go against me and my opinion. Why you say? Well, to be frank (not that I want to be some guy named frank, I just mean to speak frankly, openly, no holds barred) I do not give a shit about any opinion other then my own in this particular venue because this is MY blog and I will say whatever the hell I feel like saying. HMMMMPPPPHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! I am probably saying that for my own reassurance then for those few people who may have any interest in what a boring stay at home mom may have to say about her kids shit, her own shit or the dog's shit. Now, that being said, I would like to open with the fact that I am feeling super duper homesick. Not so much for Texas (yes, yes do not get me wrong, I m...

So, I told you before that Clint and I took the kids to the circus. Well, It was so much fun. Emily couldn't keep her eyes of the clowns. She was completely and utterly fascinated. Steven was terrified. Everytime a clown tried to say eye, give him five or even looked in his direction, he would scream and holler. Too funny. Ethan couldn't care less. He really marches to the beat of a different drummer. He did however find himself as a clown quite amusing. Mommy and Daddy made really great clowns as well. Don't you agree?!?! Clint also found time last week to build the twins toddler size bunk beds. Could these things be any cuter? So much cheaper then buying furniture. How did I get so lucky to have such a hard working husband. He is so good to the kids, me and of course my family. I can not imagine living life without someone who takes such wonderful care of the kids and I. Oh yes, and the kids have something they would like to say. "Mahmaw, we can't wai...

Well, the kids and I are about to start homeschooling. When we finish these little basic work books that there wonderful Aunt Tara got them, we willbe going into full swing. Something that I am excited about is the Child Development center here on post is offering Spanish classes. To anyone who already home schools, please e-mail me with any tipyou have. I am open to most suggestion. I am really building my own curriculum and trying to go straight from preschool into a kindergarten curriculum. I am just a bit nervous. Man, my head is killing me. Clint and I drank long island iced teas while watching the sapranos last night. OUCH!!!!! Oh and for the record, I did cheat with the smoking last night. I went out to talk to Amy and Jenna and I think it was mainly because I had been drinking. At least it wasn't in fromt of my kids. I will recover. I am determined not to be a "smoker". Clint and I will be celebrating our 4 year anniversary next Thursday. I can't believe it. I...
