A quick howdy
I just wanted to put up a quick hi there since I've been absent a day or two. I've dealt with some nasty headache/migraine type things and it ain't fun, to put it nicely. I'm sure most of it has to do with stress, tension and lack of sleep.
Katy diet update-She had pizza at school Friday and for dinner at home. She will not be having tomato products/dishes again for a while. It's been just like "old times" around here today. Otherwise though, we're seeing an improvement. Her handwriting is actually legible. Still messy six year old handwriting but much improved.
Emily is now working on going all night in big girl panties. We take her to the bathroom when we go to bed (she's usually been asleep a few hours by then) and again when one of us gets up to go at night. She's doing fairly well. She is quite pleased with herself.
Lizzy's cough still lingers. Seems a tad improved. Her vocabulary is exploding, as well as her consistent use of sign language. Mind you, she still pitches one heck of a fit when she doesn't get what she wants, but she at least knows how to ask for it now. heh
Steven is dealing with a cold at the moment. He is, however, off night shift for about a month and a half. We're trying to figure out a way to squeeze by each month so that he can be home more instead of working all but two days a month. When our taxes come back and we pay for the van repairs, we should be able to make a big jump towards that. Fourteen days!!! I really want him to be able to quit the second job by summer at the latest.
The topic of idleness has been on my mind. I know the Bible talks about it in several places, but here's the one I'm thinking of in particular.
She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Proverbs 31: 26-27
I'm doing my best to limit my idle time lately. The lack of posting and IM chatting probably gives you a hint as to how high (or not) the computer is on the list. I do spend some time on here. However, I'm trying not to get back in the everyday habit of wasting hours on here and neglecting the house and getting frustrated with my children when all they want is Mama.

Lack of sleep = Lack of creativity
I hate night shift. Oh wait, did I say that already?
Instead of trying to get my brain to work productively, here's something to fill space. You can play too.
1. The one kitchen appliance I just could not live without is my toaster. I love a toasted bagel with cream cheese.
2. My desk always looks like a tornado hit it.
3. The clocks in my house are always zero minutes fast. Unless you count Steven's alarm clock which is 20 minutes fast.
4. The one television program I just can't stand is 99% of reality shows. Yeah, I know, that's more than one. But we don't have cable and when I see those stupid shows on the two channels we get (besides PBS and TBN) I want to hurl.
5. The one television program I try to never miss is when we had cable it was Trading Spaces. Technically, I tried to watch all those home shows. Hence, another reason to get rid of our cable.
6. When it comes to housework, I really hate cleaning my floors. I don't mind sweeping or vacuuming. But mopping! GAH! I hate it. And it figures that military housing typically doesn't have carpet but the hideous "lunchroom" tile floors.
7. If I could re-design my living room, the first thing I would do is chuck the loveseat and couch out the front door. You have no idea....
8. I wish I had a bigger bathtub in my house. The only tub in our house is in the girls' bathroom. That means it is typically slam full of toys. It also isn't big enough to relax in.
9. When someone points a camera at me and says 'Smile!' I usually stick out my tongue. I prefer to be behind the camera, thankyaverramuch.
10. I expect I'll have my income tax done by the time Steven finishes it all up. He does all the tax stuff. But hopefully soon, since that's how we're paying to get the parts for the van.

Night shift blues
This has nothing to do with the rest of this entry, but, how disconcerting is it to turn around and see your 18 month old dancing around with your (clean) underwear around her neck??
We survived the first week of night shift. One more week for this stint, sigh. We can make it. I have gotten fairly decent at handling the girls alone for bedtime and bathtime. My biggest complaint with night shift is that Steven and I get very little time together. No time at all with the girls asleep so we can be alone, well as alone as you can get with three kids under seven and two obnoxious cats. Leaves very little time for, ahem, marital bliss. (My family and especially MomFrances, you didn't read that, ok?)
He works tomorrow at the comissary. I'm going to let him sleep in for a while but he leaves at 11:30 and doesn't get home until around 7:30. The girls already miss him terribly with the night shift hours. They're going to want a little daddy time. I am very thankful he's off this Sunday.
We took Lizzy back to the doctor today. Her cough was starting to sound rough. She's had some sort of "something" for going on three months now. The doctor listened to her lungs and said he didn't hear anything there, just sounded like a lot of drainage from her sinuses that she was dealing with. Thus the "goopy" quality to her coughing. She got some medicine and hopefully we'll see some improvement. Hasn't slowed her down though. She's still climbing the end table to get things off the counter. Still grabbing anything off the counter that she can reach from standing. Still opening doors and getting to all sorts of stuff. The pantry is a new favorite. Oh, and she figured out how to take the plug covers off last night. Sheesh!
I owe a ton of you guys email. I'll get to it. I promise. For now, I'll leave you with pictures. We made and decorated cupcakes yesterday. Fun was had by all.

It's settled
We decided to have the van towed from Dothan to Montgomery to let Charles fix it for us. It will save us at least $1000. We'll be fine with the truck for now. Steven's raquetball buddy from work is going to give him a ride.
Lizzy hasn't had a fever since we left the ER Thursday morning. Now, though, she has an icky sounding cough. Way down deep, raspy kind. She couldn't sleep very well last night. I bought some cold and cough medicine to see if it would help her get some rest. She's a cranky lil' cuss when she's tired. Hmmm, I wonder where she got that from???
I picked up a cd for Steven for Christmas and I've fallen in love with it. Casting Crowns and I find myself driving along or working around the house and singing at the top of my lungs. So many of their songs just speak to my heart, I can't help myself. My favorite song (if I have to pick just ONE) is Who Am I. (click the extended entry for the lyrics)
It still amazes and overwhelms me that one so powerful and awesome is interested in lil' ole' me with all my warts and problems.
Who Am I
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my eevr wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours
Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
I am Yours
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
'Cause I am Yours
I am Yours

A day late. A dollar (or 3000) short
We got home today. Why today instead of yesterday when we'd planned?
Four hours from home, the transmission scared the bejeebers out of me doing 70 mph on the interstate. Three hours later, we've had the van towed while we follow in the truck, dropped it off at the DOTHAN!! Dodge place one minute after closing time, grabbed a bit of dinner and headed in the direction of home.
Only to discover that Lizzy has had enough of this mess. She'd been in a vehicle of some sort since 11:00AM and it was now pushing 7:30PM with a good four hours to go. We decided it would be best for all of us if we stayed in a hotel, let them run around a bit, eat dinner, and get some sleep before heading home in the morning.
Once we're home there is a voice mail from the Dothan Dodge place. "It's the transmission, but we'll need your permission to take it apart and tell you exactly what's going on." To the tune of $150. We say ok, because I mean seriously, what else can we do at this point??
Several hours later, they call back. It's the transfer gears in the transmission (whatever that is) and it will cost $2800 for us to repair it with a 1 year/12k mile warranty. OR we can replace it for $3100 and a 3 year/36k mile warranty. Either way we could pick it up Saturday. Called Pam and Charles (who is transmission guy!!) to see what his thoughts were. He can do it for us. We would have to pay probably in the neighborhood of $200 to have it towed to their house. Then $500-600 estimated parts. He works on side car jobs at home after his regular job. So it could take several weekends to finish up.
Sigh.
On to wedding pictures.
Lizzy loves her Uncle Daniel. We teased that she was stealing Nancy's husband.

There's more but if you aren't family, you probably are bored to tears by now.

All's well
She's fine.
We went to the appointment Thursday afternoon and the pediatrician reread her blood work. She isn't anemic (the ER doc was reading the adult level). So, the Ped was thoroughly confused and sent us for more blood work. He said that her original report from the ER showed bacteria in her urine. The ER doc never mentioned that. So, the Ped put her on an antibiotic until the culture finishes growing. He said that tiny spots on her face were just the typical viral rash kids can sometimes get. She hasn't even run a low grade fever since the ER. She's feeling much better today, thank heavens!
The wedding is this afternoon and as soon as we eat lunch, we're all getting bathed and ready to go. Pictures are before hand so we need to be there a bit early.
I'll try update tomorrow, maybe a picture or two.
OH! April, I can't email you about your comment!!!! WHO??????
January 15, 2004
Not on the list
I took Lizzy to the ER at 3:00am while Steven stayed with the girls. Her fever wasn't getting lower and was climbing a little. We got a 104 under the arm. Gave her Motrin, took her in after calling the nurses' line. After three hours, a catheter for a urinalysis, one nasty blood draw for a gajillion blood tests we came home with a discharge sheet that says fever and low platelets. We have an appointment at Peds at 1:30 for follow up. If he says it is still okay to travel, we'll drive part way this afternoon, get a hotel, sleep, drive the rest in the morning. If he says wait, Steven will take the girls and go ahead. I'll follow when I can. If he says you can't go, then Steven will take the girls and I'll stay here with Lizzy. The doctor said she was slightly dehydrated, slightly anemic and her platelet count was really low. Those first two plus the fever can deplete her count as well as Tylenol. She hasn't had any Tylenol in a week or more but the other two she's had. We're just praying that she's fine and healed.
I just want her healthy and happy again. She's been a cranky pot and I can completely understand. It's going to take all I can do to make it through today with this little sleep. I've already sobbed twice since leaving the ER at 6:00. When I finish this I'm going to go shower and try to wake up some. I need to pack up the van so that we (or they) can take it.
If the doctor says we can go ahead and go, we will leave straight from there. So, I won't be able to update until tomorrow at the earliest. Love you guys!
January 14, 2004
Makin' my list/Checkin' it twice (we all know I'm naughty)
To do list:
Wash clothes
Pack
My suitcase with two nice outfits and black dress shoes plus regular clothes
Steven's suitcase with white dress shirt, suit, black shoes, fishing clothes, etc.
Girls' suitcases-Katy's glasses case and head blanket, Em's baby, Lizzy's
night night blanket and sea horse. Both dresses for wedding, tights, shoes,
hair doo dads
Vacuum carpets upstairs and down
Dump kitty litter and set out extra litter box while we're gone
Make certain neighbor has been contacted about feeding the cats and fish
Remember to pack cameras, batteries and film for 35mm
Decide whether to pack Lizzy's cloth dipes or just use disposables for the trip
Pick up Steven's suit
Clean out fridge
The girls' clothes and shoes are all packed. The stuff I mentioned up there all has to be packed in the morning. I always feel like I'm forgetting something. Feh.
Nine hours people. Three girls. Two of whom can't seem to coordinate when the potty breaks should be. One needs to go, so we stop. I coerce the other one to try to go. No dice (some of the time she goes) so about 30 minutes down the road, voila now she has to go.
One of the girls really isn't fond of riding in her car seat for extended periods of time. She gets cranky and foul and is rather vocal about the indiginity of it all. We usually stop a few times to let the girls run off some energy. I don't know how much of that we'll be doing this trip. As it is we'll be getting there around 10:00pm.
Katy seems to be nervous about the wedding. She's been telling me her stomach hurts and she's been very easily upset today and some yesterday as well. She tried to tell me she isn't nervous. She is so much like her mama. Let's pray she doesn't end up as warped and overly needy of affection as I am.
I need to pack my suitcase and start getting things out for Steven to put in his. He says I basically dress him anyway. When we went to pick out his suit, the salesman kept asking Steven "Do you like this one, sir?" Steven would point to me and say "I don't know, do I?" Heh.
Katy, Em and I have appointments Friday morning to get haircuts. I think I'm going to get my hairdresser to re-color my hair. I love the idea of red highlights but this didn't turn out just as I'd hoped. (No, Lynn it isn't something you did. I promise.)
Okay, I'm off this time. (I know, I'm off in that sense, too)

I think it's the chair
Every day I wander around the house writing entries in my head. By the time I sit down in this chair, they magically disappear. I sit here with MT open and stare at it. Maybe when these storms blow over my witty banter will return. (no comments from the peanut gallery about the level of my wit)
On to the to do list for our trip.

Wash clothes

I'm sure there's more but right now that's all I can think of.

Allowable
Katy's home sick today. She threw up several times yesterday. Some not so gently. She seems to be feeling better today, but I kept her home just in case. She's eaten a little breakfast, which is an improvement over yesterday. She'll only be in class two days this week since we leave Thursday to go home for the wedding. I've got a lot to do to get us all ready but I think today is going to be a lazy day. I'll do laundry and start packing a little, but that's about it.
I don't know how much I'll post between now and Monday. We'll be busy getting ready to leave, then there at the wedding, then just back from the trip. I'll update when I can.
There's a lot going on right now and it's basically all that's been on my mind. However, I can't write about it here. Thus the rather mundane, surface scratching entries of late.
January 10, 2004
Coloring outside the lines
I'm about to pull out my freshly colored hair.
Lizzy woke up from her nap in a foul, foul mood. Nothing is making her happy and everything is making her scream. Sigh.
Is it sad that the only two places I can go to escape for 30 seconds to regain my tenuous grip on reality? The bathroom. Only the upstairs one in our room, though. Anywhere else the girls think they need to come and chat or help or plunder. Of course, our bathroom isn't completely void of that, but if Steven's home I get a brief reprieve. The other room is the laundry room. While the girls play I can walk into the laundry room (usually leaving the light off) and breathe for a minute. Just breathe and relax my shoulders and my neck.
I have about an hour and a half before Steven gets home. I can survive that.

Sweet compliments
I've gotten several very sweet compliments on the picture I've used for a header. (Those of you who follow the notify list that takes you to the archived entry may not have seen it. Go the main page and check it out.) I thought I'd show you guys the full image. To view the full photo, click here That photo was taken February 2, 2002 at a friend's wedding. I was very pregnant with Lizzy. Steven and I still managed to dance, though he did have to lean precariously over my belly. That photograph is one of my absolute favorites of the two of us together. The look on our faces absolutely describes how we feel about each other and how we act together.
I'll hopefully get back today for another entry.

Tidbits
It's hard to write a coherent entry when all that's going through your head is random thoughts and bits of songs. So, since there will be not giant "story" today, I'll post the snippets as they come to mind.
-Lizzy is learning to say a bunch of new words. Her new favorite is "tat uu, uu eeum" translation-thank you you're welcome. I suppose she says it that way since we always responded to her thank you with a you're welcome.
-Emily had some strange stomach thing going on today. We were almost to Katy's school to pick her up when Emily starts sobbing. "My stomach hurts. I need to go to the bathroom. I need "fro up". We race down the street to the nearest bathroom I know of, McDonalds. We get inside, she burps a few times and she's fine. As we pull into the parking lot of the school she says it again. "I need to 'fro up'." I tell her to try burping a little bit again but she won't. So we pull up to the pickup line of cars, I jump out, hand her an empty plastic cup I'd neglected to take back into the house this morning. She begins to burp and burp and burp. She's fine, again. Same thing happens when we leave. Odd.
-The girls talked Steven into letting them buy me flowers today. They were so cute about it. All giggly and happy.
-Didn't take down the decorations today.
-All three girls have an appointment tomorrow. Katy has one to check out that strange thing on her thumb and I'd like to see about getting her tested for allergies to foods. Emily has her four year check up and shots. Lizzy has her 18 month check up and shots. Fun, fun.
-I think we're going to try the Elimination Diet with Katy to see if some of her behavior isn't food related. We'll all have to be on the program because how horrible a mother would I be if I made Katy sit and watch Emily and Lizzy eat ice cream when she couldn't??
-It's 8:30 and I'm tired.
-I think we're taking two vehicles to Georgia when we go next week. Yippy skippy. Not.

The End of an Age
Today marks the end of the "Roaring Twenties" for me.
So much happened last year. I learned a lot. About life. About myself. About love. About faith. Large chunks of time are a big blur of nothing, though. The depression just sort of sucked the life out of me and so I don't remember much of what took place during those times.
Moving on to my thirties isn't hard emotionally at all I think. I have a mental picture of me as the 19 year old who got married. Some days it's hard to believe I'm old enough to have 6,4, and 1 1/2 year old children. Now I can throw in the hard to believe I'm 30.
I already mentioned that Steven and I went out last week because he'd be working all weekend. But Friday, Pam, April and Deena drove down to celebrate. We sat around chatting and catching up until Steven got home from work (early I might add). Somewhere in there Lynn arrived while I was changing. We went to Chili's for dinner, talked and talked. We got a cake on the way home. Sat around my table eating cake, opening gifts and talking some more. Lynn left sometime around 11:00. Pam, April and Deena were spending the night at our house so we changed into jammies and watched a movie. Got very little sleep.
Realized this morning after talking to Mama and then Daddy, that we hadn't checked the mail in several days. Steven went out and got it as we were heading out to church. There were four cards in there! Heh. I bet our mailman thinks we're flakes.
Anyhow, besides waking up to a few new (noticable) grey hairs things seem basically the same. Get back to me later this year. I might be celebrating the anniversary of my 29th birthday next time.
Attention: Giant Subject Change Ahead, Be Sure Your Seatbelt is Secured
Lizzy has decided to tell us rather early on in her life that she prefers nudity. She stripped twice yesterday, pants first then diaper. Then today I was trying to get her to nap and she was vigorously trying not to. I really had to go to the bathroom (read: couldn't wait another second) so I laid her down again and went. When I came back, she was laying in the bed in her pink sparkly turtleneck and socks. Her shorts and diaper were on the floor close to a very suspicious puddle.
Thing is she can't open the snaps on her cloth diapers and covers. We're getting ready to go cloth full time at home (and eventually out of the house too). At least she can't take those off. Well, this week. Next week she'll have figured that out, along with how to operate the lawnmover and solve quadratic equations.

Pretty girls
We tried taking some pictures of the girls in the dresses for Nancy's wedding. The color is a bit off, but you get the idea.

Man, I'm tired. I've been trying to clean/rearrange/dejunk upstairs for a while now. Yes, June Cleaver is still here. I got three rooms done upstairs. The only one left is our room. The clothes the girls have outgrown or that need to be passed down the line are piled in there. It's just messy. Eh, it'll get done. Not tonight, but it will get done.
