Weekend are jsut way too short!
This past weekend flew by. Not much new happened, but I could'nt even keep up with the old to let new stuff go on.
E has had a fever each night, starting Friday. It goes away during the day. Dr thinks it's a childhood thing. Should be better by Tuesday.
T is T. Gotta love that little guy.
Hand is healing. Hurts only when touched. Should have the stitches out by Thursday.
Will update when I have more time.
I still HATE SBC DSL. Still not working. :P

I am on a break, so I'll make it fast.
Saw Dr today. No more Cast!!! :)
Hand still hurts a little. I can't get my pinky finger to work real well. I got a real close look, I count 12 knots and a lot of stitches. Planning on having them taken out next Thur.

T & E are good.
T is himself.
E is a mover. She is army man crawling (forwards & backwards). I left her on the bed yesterday and came back 3 secs later and she was on the floor. T was telling my "bebe hurt, mommieeeee, bebe hurt!" She was not, but it must have looked like the dive off the bed did hurt. When I got into the room, she looked up at me with that toothless grin that just melts your heart. Gosh, I love those smiles.
Seeing Tammy with baby S make me want to have another one. I know E is only 6 months, but the newborn stage is so much fun too. I miss it! But I know that I need to wait. I am sure that by the time I post this and start back to work, I forget I want another one. Then I'll look at the Pics on Kristin blog for the 100 time. My heart will melt and I will be right back at the I"I want a baby stage again."
Papa is off next week! I can't wait. T will be SO happy. Planning a trip to the park and other outdoor activties. That kid has got way to much energy.
Break over. Back to work. only an hour left :)
p.s. spell check not working right now. sorry for the errors!

Sorry it took so long. My hand is not the reason. DSL from SBC is. Nothing but trouble since we signed up for a year contract. I spend more time on the phone trying to fix it then on-line. Very frustration.

Hand is okay. Hurts a little today. Thursday I see Dr. I am tired of diapers sticking to the ace bandage around the cast like contraption I am stuck in. I am sure I am a sight with two kids and my arm casted in a sling. You should see me driving!!! Or maybe you don’t want to be around to see that.
I think I have 12 or 13 stitches. Looks like franken-hand. Kind of creepy and gross.

Saw Carrie Friday. She was kind enough to watch T & E while we had a chunk removed from my hand. She is so great! I miss her. T & E like her too. They seem to have good taste in their mama’s friends. They always seem to like everyone who I like. I guess I did something right.

I must say all the daydreaming I did in school, I should have been writing with my left hand to practice just in case I lost the use of my right hand. T writes better than me.

It’s late and I am beat.

YAY the week is almost over. Okay, I really not excited, I just don't want to go to work.
Not much is happening. T & E are good. It is HOT, like Africa hot. Keith is off this week. T really likes having papa home. They play are hang out. I like it too.

My mom's friend, Josie, died Tuesday night. Please pray for the family. I talked to mom and she said her friend & dad are hanging in there, remembering all the good stuff.

Friday @ 1pm I'll be checking in to Fresno Community to have my hand operated on. It's my right hand and it all started off like over a year ago. What I thought was a wart was not and it is a cyst. I had it removed back in April, I think. Now they DR has to go back and they're going to make a quarter size hold as deep as to the muscle and remove the rest of it. It has roots. Prayerfully I will not need a skin graph. I don't want to have to tender areas. It will take about 2 weeks to heal. So if you don't hear from me for a while, you'll know why. I'm a little irritated, sad and worried. Irritated, because I thought it would be no big deal to have it removed and it has turned into an ordeal. Sad, that I will not have the use of my hand for 2 weeks. I won't be able to shower & wash my hair by myself. I won't be able to give T & E bathes. :( I have to be careful. Worried that I might not be able to take care of T & E and hug & hold them too tight, like I like to. I am worried that it might hurt too. I also worry about Keith and all that he'll have to do and the such.

Oh, when the news breaks about Tammy & Baby B will someone please call me. I am just itch'en to hear that they are all well and doing fine. Thanks!!

Boy does time fly when you get older!! This weekend was a blur!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Friday I played bunko. Had fun,ate junk, talked with other mom's, and lost 5 bucks. Saturday, Keith & I had conversations that at times, got loud. Eventually I got my way. I took E to the Dr for the cough. Lungs clear, just sounds really bad. I think she is getting better. Still getting dirty looks when we go places, :P to them. I know how bad she sounds, but what are you to do when its a dramatic princess cough. My step mom came over & watch the kiddos without any problems. We went to dinner. It was good. There was no , whining, crying, baby swapping, crayons, kiddie menus, spills, high chairs and tag team eating. We got to eat our food right after the waiter brought it out and we didn't have to wolf it all down. We actually enjoyed a meal. It was great. I got a bunch of great cards and even better phone calls! :) Sunday was church & lunch with my dad & step mom. It was good. T & E were great. E likes the red, blue & yellow ceiling at Red Robin. Maybe I should do some painting!
Monday back to work.

Funny, I am listing to the rerun of the News and E is a tropical storm. She has her very own storm. Maybe it will never reach hurricane status or maybe it will be the worst one ever?! I think it would be neat if I had a hurricane with my same name the same year I was born. Did you know she was born on a special day. The elections in Iraq. Maybe God is preparing her for great things. Or to be apart of great things, or just be around when they happen. I don't know. But every mother hopes that her child will achieve great things. Whatever they maybe. Especially if she just continues to be the great baby she is.

Can you do my a favor, Please pray for my mom's friend's mother, Josie. At 8 Monday night she was basically waiting to die. She has been sick for some time. Her body is shutting down. She has double ammonia and was disconnected from all machines. She is able to breath on her own, but she was having a heart attack when they first disconnected her. There is a DNR for her. She is ready. But her body had not let go yet. Pray for her Husband of over 50 years. My mom's friend has a brother and their family is kind of messed up. Pray for comfort for the family and that Josie will not have to suffer too long. I am pretty sure she knows that Jesus is waiting for her. When she was first removed from the breathing tube, while having a heart attack, she signed to cross as to pray. Please keep them in your prayers.

Lord,
Be with Josie right now. Comfort her in her pain. Comfort her family as they helplessly standby. May they feel your presents. May they find their comfort in you. May the man whom she spent so much of his life with, find a calm. Surround him with the love of his family as the women who he loves so very much suffers. Allow him to know that the physical suffering will pass and she will soon be with you in a whole, complete, healthy body & soul. Lord I lift this family up to you and know that you have a plan. Help them to mourn/grieve and turn to you at this time. I thank you Lord for being who you are. May this family see your glory & honor during this hard and painful time. Amen

Well, I better get some sleep.

People are just mean!!!
Sometime between 130 am & 630 am yesterday, some bone head broke into our storage, again. They left all the thing that could be sold to make a quick buck and took ALL the boxes with T & E's clothes!
WHY??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I am so mad! I was up since 630 this morning dealing with it. PD said that got some good prints and the bolt cutters used to break one of two locks.
Bone head stole baby clothes. Leaving tools, sleeping bags, tote full of about $2,000 worth of Keith stuff. Left behind good camping gear, boxes of books and school supplies. But I think, deliberately took baby clothes. Fine, maybe bone head needs them. Okay. I am now working, I will eventually replace it. Some hand made stuff gone. Bone head maybe needed it. Maybe bone head is a girl w/a baby & needs clothes. Okay. But am I so mean & ugly looking that you won't approach me in a parking lot & ask me for $$$. I think not. It happens almost every time, someone ask for gas $$, food $$, formula $$ even prescription $$. I do what I can. So bone head, stop stealing! Come to my door. You have my babies clothes & diaper bag filled w/ new stuff. You also have all my CD's. Not to mention laundry soap, fabric softener & dryer sheets. Come to my door & stop breaking into things and taking thimgs. I will gladly give you what I can. You can even sit with me & I'll give you the right size clothes. But to take it all, size 0 to 2t is WRONG! Not to mention all the summer stuff , T & E have in their room. Bone head, please stop violating my family. Just ask and I'll help you.

I know that the Lord forgives. I am proof of that. Lord, help me to forgive. I know that it is just stuff. I know that you gave it to me and you'll take it back. Just as you allowed me to lose my job, you also gave it back. I pray for this person who took T & E's clothes. Help them to find you. Help the person who took the diaper bag & CD's to find you. Lord use me to help these/this person. Lord help me to let go of the anger & rage I have inside me. Lord, I don't not want to be in bondage to anger. I pray that you will help free me. I know by the power of the Holy Spirit I will be released. I beg, calm me, soothe me, hold me, guide me Lord.
Lord, I pray for this/these lost people who have hurt me. I pray that they might find you. That they find the hope & things they need in you. Lord, you are in control. I pray this in your Holy & Precious Name, Amen.

Not much is going on. Not much has changed. Not much to say.

Keith has to teach for a few more days. The 8th is the last day of summer school and boy, he can't wait. Maybe next year he won't have to teach summer school.
T is good. Growing & talking more each day.
E is good. She has a little cough. No fever, mucus or rash. So we are just waiting it out. I think it sounds worse than it is.

As for me: Work is good. I am starting to get into the swing of things.
Counting down until the big day. 3 days until I climb another rung of the ladder of age.
In the start of my twenties I did not think about it. In the mid of my twenties, the thought slowly crept in. Now as I turn the corner in to my thirties, I wonder.
As a kid b-days where fun. In the teenage years they got exciting. From 17 to 20 there was a hurry up and wait feeling. Could not wait until the next big one, 21. Then 25 was a point to get to, it just sounds a little more grown-up to be 25. Then, 26, 27 ,28 and 28 seemed to be a good place to stop. But oh, no, 29 crept up and in. Now, 30 is BANGING on the door. And I wonder, will I feel any older? Will my body start to feel it? What about my brain? Considering I still have a mush brain from having a 2 year old & 5 month old, I think that my brain is somewhat oblivious to the things of this world and to me at times. Will I be any different when I wake up on Saturday morning?

Before I continue my rant on turning 30....I can't believe what just happened!!!
E is sleeping, T is watching pooh.
Well, that is what I thought. I heard some rustling and a loud "I did it!" So being the attentive mother, that I am, I went to see just what my precious little angel is so proud of. T is standing on the ottoman with the door to the DVD, VCR & other junk needed to make the TV work and he has taken it upon himself to change his entertainment. Apparently pooh was over and he changed the DVD and put another one in. Okay in our terms, not a big deal. We do it all the time. But my little Bubba T is 2 and as a mother, I feel kind of foolish. My 2 year-old has seen us change the DVD so often that he can do it himself. The fact that he could do it without falling is most impressive, since the cabinet is above his head. I just never thought he knew the buttons to push on the DVD player. Even I don't know the buttons, I have to use the remote!!

Okay back to my age thoughts:
Will I be any different when I wake up on Saturday morning? Will I be more mature? Will I feel anything? I don't really know. But I think my parents might. Saturday Morning they will wake up and be the proud parents of a 30 year old daughter. I think that might be worse then actually turning 30. Now that I think of it. I think I just made myself feel a whole lot better. Huh. I did. Now when T&E start to get into their 20's & 30's I might need to do more than talk it out, I might need to be medicated!
Well, princess E has arose from her royal nap & by now I am sure the the little prince has figured out how to program the VCR clock.

So much for: Not much to say! :)
