So I had jury duty this week. we had some long days. luckily we had a nice judge who let us move around and have sevearl breaks.

Heather has blocked me from facebook, because I have been a pain in teh ass. This really isnt anything new though.

I have missed being with my kids during the day. It was so hard the last two days when I could call the sitter to talk to them. or to be able to talk to Sara and Heather. It was like tourture. the room had no windows or anything. the water from the fountin in the room had a metal taste and they didnt have bottled water.

but they did have a mini fridge with soda. they had coffee too but that was made with the nasty water. Monday me and a woman named kimm went to a gyro place. Tuesday we went to an irish pub. Luckily one of the 3 others who joined us that day owned part of it or else I wouldnt have been able to get in. yesterday they bought us lunch at a nice resturant. today we would ahve gotten fed, but we got done shortly after noon. so no reason to buy us lunch.

hmmm

So I am like 87% sure that I am pregnant. I am having a bunch of symptoms. Now I just need a positive result! I have picked out the bedding I want for both a boy and a girl. I know what crib I wanna get, but I am not going to set it up right away. At least not until the baby is about 2 months, or closer to three. I really can't wait. Today I have been trying to think of how I can rearrange my room to fit a crib and the rest of the baby's things. I am totally not getting a changing table, I didn't use mine often with Owen and Bella. They just take up too much room. I plan on half formula feeding and half breastfeeding.

anyway, there hasn't been much going on lately.

Happy birthday Laurie (today) and happy early birthday to mudder!!!

Sooooo..Hmmm..First of all I want to say that, in reply to your comment, Heather, about being mom's favorite....SHE DOESN'T PLAY FAVORITES..So HA HA HA. Nice try!

I took Shelby to the zoo today and they had a bunch of different plastic animals, that were painted by local painters. There was a giraffe with a puzzle design. My fave was the pig painted like a Ham radio. It made me think of Mudder! She wanted a picture of it so I took one, then decided it was missing something.. MEEEEEEEEEEE.. She seemed to like it very much ;o) & of course Heather, Dad and Laurie got to see it.

I went to the Dr. last week and my numbers were really high, so my meds were doubled. Sara and I have decided to lower our numbers together. So far we actually aren't doing too bad.

I DOn't know what to say...but I did come across this as I was digging through some emails.

To me from "Heidi"

Once a pone a time there was a girl named Minnie Wilkastank. She was a very funny girl. She had a really rough childhood, but tried to make the best out of it as she should. When she was a young teen she meet this guy at the mall. His name was Jay. Jay was much, much older then Minnie .. but she fell for him anyway's. Once they were dating for a while Minnie started to see a side of Jay that she didn't care for to much. Jay had a really short temper and sometimes took it out of Minnie. She loved him so she put up with it. Several years later Minnie found out she was pregnant.. and to her surprise.. It was TWINS!!! She was very excited and scared! They babies were born just before Thanksgiving. She had a boy and a girl! Shortly after the babies were born Minnie made a new friend Sally. Several days later Jay died. Minnie took this extremely hard. She blamed herself, but everyone knew it wasn't her fault! It was a good thing for Sally... She really helped Minnie through her hard time. Then soon she was introduced to a girl named Heidi. Minnie wasn't sure what she thought of Heidi, but after a short time she really started to like her. Minnie sure knew how to make Sally and Heidi laugh! It was a good thing that Minnie had these two in her life... they really tired to keep Minnie out of trouble. Although sometimes Minnie did things anway's.. even though she knew she shouldn't. But she would get into trouble with Sally and Heidi once they found out.

Heidi would always ask to see pictures of the twins. They were just so darn cute! Minnie was good at telling stories.. sometimes though Sally and Heidi just wasn't so sure about them. Minnie liked to keep things from the two girls.. or would only tell half of what was going on. They wished that Minnie knew that she could tell them anything! They also really wished that Minnie and the twins would make a trip to IL to see them. The would just love to spend time together.. go shopping.. and do fun things with the kids! But Minnie just wouldn't do it :( Maybe some day they can talk Minnie into coming. The End!


SO my sperm donor backed out on me because he forgot about his step nephew's graduation party. I was really unhappy and bummed out. I don't think we will be trying this cycle because it falls a day or two before July 4th :(. My guessing is I won't get pregnant til August.

Sooooooooooooooo today is friday... I am pretty excited for this next week. I am hoping to GOD that it all goes the right way. The weather is really nice today! only in the upper 60s so it is pretty warm out and with the breeze it is about 60..yay!

I am looking forward to all the sales that are going on this weekend. I am really trying to not buy anything. I have a few things to save up money for.

Today I am probably going to clean my room and organize it. I have been going at it at a slow pace and would really like to finish it..

Soooo thats about it.

The kids have taken to coloring :]!!!! Owen had a hard time getting the hang of holding the crayon like a pencil, and Bella would hold it for a minute then stop. Bella is talking quite a bit, she can sometimes make small sentences. Owen isn't talking as much, he says a few words (mainly headder (Heather). I don't expect the kids to be head to head in everything, they are their own person. I love them how ever they are.

Hmmmm....what else??? I spent a good part of yesterday cleaning..then I got into a funk..so that messed with my cleaning....grrrr...One day I will get it under control. I have been pretty good about it, with a few minor slip ups. I am just glad it isn't has bad as it use to be a little over a year ago.soooo guess I can't beat myself up over it. :]

I have no idea what to talk about. I am only doing this so you will tell me your story. You know it would be easier if you gave me a topic :)....just a suggestion.

I have been lucky enough to be on entertainment duty today :)..

I had a pretty good Mother's day. The twins and I mostly watched movies and just lounged around.

My family is about to have to military boys on our hands. My cousin Alex enlisted last week with the Army. My brother Nick, signed a contract stating he is planning on joining the Air Force after he graduates. He is entering through the "Soft Entry'.

I am planning on taking a trip down to O'Fallon. I am really excited about it. We'll be heading down sometime between late March to late June. We really haven't figured it out, but that's okay we have 7-8 months before we need to worry. I have already picked out the outfits the kids will wear :). I am a bit nervous, but I think it is more excitement.
