All I can say is- the dreams are CRAZY these days!
Last night I had 2 kidnapped daughters who I frantically searched days for and then found clues next to a raspberry field & giant milk billboards.
A few night ago Servester Stalone hired me to clean his hoarding mother's house and then needed a date for a red carpet event which I agreed too, but then spent the next weeks trying to convince the press that he was only paying me to clean and nothing more.
Then I had a dream I carried a baby girl to full term, but when I saw her, she was minature with a crazy looking head.
There have so many others that I'm struggling to remember right now, darn, what are they??? That's what I recall for the moment...

Bunk beds...
We knew when we were planning another baby, that our second set of bunk beds would be on the list of things to buy, so we found some yesterday and Trav put them together for the girls. I wanted a few months to work on the transition from crib to "big girl bed" because it always takes awhile to get a routine down after they've been let out of their "cage".
The girls did great last night, and I'm loving the comforters I picked up at Ross a few months ago for $ 14.99 too- those things are pricey! After a little re arranging & organizing- I think the room will work just fine. If the baby is a girl- we'll keep her in that room with Grace & Willow (for decoration & color sake) but if it's a boy- he will share a room with Tristin & Daisy (they have the blue room).
We can't wait to find out in a few days what this little wiggle worm is!
2 Yard sales!!!
Yesterday we found 2 yard sales and my little heart was delighted beyond belief! Tristin found this amazing gas mask and wore it ALL day (except when we were shopping) I FIRMLY said, "No way, get that thing off"
It was the best .75 spent in a long time.
I was happy to pick up a few camping & baby supplies too! Bring on the yard sales, baby- I am SOOOOO ready!

Half way done!!! 20 weeks!
I have been so side tracked with Daisy's "situation", that I haven't posted any baby news in awahile. I am 20 weeks and delighted to find out what this little critter is next week! I have no clue, no feeling, no nothing. I'm just tired and exhausted to do anything other than make a baby and take care of 4 others.
Thngs are going well, except for my growing thighs and fat deposits showing up everywhere possible on a human body.
We will struggle with names this time around- I know that. Why did Trav suddenly get an opinion? After we know, then we can work that. Here's to the next 19 weeks of pure bliss!
Another lice outbreak- sombody kill me, please!
I haven't been able to post about it because of the pure horror of it all- until now...
The day after daisy's birthday party, I was doing her hair for school when I noticed red bumps all over the back of her neck and ears. I just stood there in shock and said, "Daisy- has your head been itchy?????"
She said, " No, not really."
Like a monkey, I started pawing through her hair and it only took 1 second to see she was covered in eggs. I literally started bawling. I couldn't help it. It poured out of me and I lost it. How could this be happening- AGAIN? And to ME??? I had been doing her hair everyday- pulling it back for school- HOW COULD I HAVE MISSED THIS???
I threw her in the tub where she sat crying herself- because she knew exactly what we were in for and she was horrified as well.
I called school and told them the kids wouln't be in, and I just cried. I called my Mom and she tried to calm me down, but nothing worked. I called my G-ma and cried and she told me I had to settle down for the sake of the baby- but that didn't work either. I don't know how long I cried, or how long I left Daisy in the tub without returning to her- but it was a very long time.
I had to call all the little girl's that were at the party the night before and explain, (once again to most of them) that Daisy had lice and that I was beyond horrified and sorry- but check your girls! I called the Rec where she was doing gymnastics, I called church so they would be informed and I called the school to confirm that it was indeed head lice. Those were the worst calls to make.Trust me. I definatly won the biggest Mom loser award of the century.
We shampooed everyone's hair, we wore shower caps, we went to the laundry mat, we did laundry at G-ma's, we did laundry at our house, we cleaned, we vacuumed, we put toys with batteries away in bags to freeze, we cleaned the van, we vacuumed the van, we ripped the beds apart, we shampooed carpets and couches and washed or dried every single piece of clothing in the house- once again, and then again, and again and again. I haven't even kept track this time because I couldn't muster the energy to do anything other than damage control.
Daisy had over 55 live bugs in her hair and 181 eggs the first day. That is the most discusting thing in the entire world. Seriously! What was going on at school??? I did find out that there was an outbreak in the first grade, so that explained it and her best friend had it too, so that made sense, but honestly, AGAIN???
Weeks later, she is fine. She was checked by the nurse, we continue to check and do EVERYTHING under the sun to prevent and we have all had more shampoo treatments just to make me feel better. She still wears a shower cap and anything she wears at school is promptly removed and washed the moment she enters the house. Everyone else has been fine but I swear to the Heavens and back- if this happens again any time soon, I will run away and probably never return.

Happy Valentine's Day...
Every Valentine's Day the kids get a "fancy breakfast" and they love it. This year they were tickled when they saw: poptarts, manderine oranges, and dessert kabobs (with donuts & heart shaped marshmallows), they had milk in fancy glasses and lots of treats for later too!
Later that morning, the little girls and I went to my Dr. visit, and made our deleveries to our friends at Albertson's. Every holiday we take treats to the workers and they love it. It sounds silly, but some feel like family now. (Actually, Trav is off to JJ's house after work to fix her computer, I'm sad I don't get to go hang out!) The girl's were given valentine balloons from the manager and then we went home for lunch.
After dinner and gymnastics, we made more deleveries and came home just in time for showers and bed. I was so tired. Trav and I layed in bed and watched a really good movie- that's it. That was our amazing Valentine's. Kind of what you expect from a 5 month pregnant wife of 12 years right???
(Actually, we went out last week for dinner. I was craving my Goodwood sandwich more than anything in the world, so we made that our Valentine date, which also included a trip to look at fabric, of course!)

Tristin is in gymnastics...
Last Wed when i took the girls to their first gymnastics practice, tristin came too. After 10 minutes he said, "Mom, I want to be in gymnastics!" So after the class we got him signed up for Tuesday nights. 2 nights ago was his first practice and he loved it. It was great to watch him enjoying himself and having a good time.
Littlest Pet Shop Party...
Daisy had a Littlest pet shop party tonight. (For those of who who have no clue: They are small plastic animals with little bobble heads!)I didn't get pictures of everything, but she had a fun time. They had a bean bag toss, pin the tail on the animal, ate dinner, opened presents ate cupcakes, played and ran around the house screaming and laughing. It was a great night, and I am thrilled to have it done (is that awful to say??? I swear I'm just not with anything these days!)
She had lots of friends over, a lot of fun and it was great to see her smiling and happy. Happy 7th b-day sweety pie!
(Thanks Dad and Mom for the B-day money. We will put some in the bank!)
Happy 7th Birthday Daisy!!!
Today Miss Daisy Mae turned 7. Seven. I am still in shock. It seems like just yesterday I was doing laps around the maternity ward struggling with the worst contractions of my life.
I'll never forget the day she ws born and I have loved every second of every day with her since.
She is definatly growing up, the drama is beginning (thank you school), but she is still the sweetest thing on the planet. She is as good as it gets, incredibly helpful, still very tender and the kindest girl you'll ever meet. I have adored her for 7 years. I couldn't love you more sweet girl.
