Tell me what you think?

So I feel the need to vent. But I also feel a little stupid so I would kind of like some feedback. I was suppose to get my wisdom teeth out today. It's been a long time coming. My Mom came clear up from Cedar to watch my kids for me. They tell me not to eat or drink anything for 8 hours before which I am thinking is more of a guideline than a strict rule. Anyway my appt is till 2pm so after a full nights sleep of not eating or drinking I also can't eat all day. Well Stupid me unconciously take a few sips of Russell's drink around noon or so when I bring him home lunch. I am thinking this is probably not a big deal, right? A sip or 2 isn't gonna hurt. Well around 3pm when I finally get back in to the oral surgeon they give me the spanish inquisition about the last time I had anything. At first I say not since the night before but after the 3rd time they ask and the assistant tells me it's a life or death situation I tell her about the drink. She wants to know exactly how much and exactly what time so I tell her and she tells me that the docter will come talk to me. Well the docter comes in and says well looks like we'll have to reschedule. I'm really astounded. 2 sips really? He tells me that it's a firm rule and that thats how people get fluid in their lungs and 50% die. I am thinking to myself if this is really such a serious life or death situation shouldn't they have made it very clear? Maybe said " If you have had anything at all in the last 8 hours we will not perform the surgery." What do you guys think? I am a little peeved. So was Russell. Does anyone else think this was a little overboard? Also the docter was a little rude and made a comment about how now he had to sit and do nothing but wait till his next patient.

Finally!

My old dishwasher.....soo soo sad

My New dishwasher....Yay!!

Finally after 3 years and 1 huge hole in the kitchen my Hubby finally filled it with a pretty new dishwasher. I was SOO happy that I decided to end my no-blogging streak after a year and let everyone know!

Halloween

Ya ya Halloween was awhile ago but I am a loser who never blogs. I was gonna let it go but they are just way to cute not to post pictures of.

We were down in Cedar for Halloween and went Trick or Treating with the Wild Whitts in their neighborhood. My kids had so much fun! Gauge finally caught on this year and was totally into it. He was running from house to house opening peoples doors before knocking and plowing down little old ladies. It was kind of embarrassing but really hilarious! Cutie patootie Weston the lion pretty much just slept in his seat the whole time. He looked adorable though! And Emma Had soo much fun with Jase as Raggady Ann. She looked so so cute. Grandma DeAnn made this costume for Aunt Melissa when she was little and Later Russell wore it for Halloween when he was in the 6th grade. Where are the Pictures of that DeAnn? Anyway we had tons of fun, Thanks Wild Whitts for an Awesome Halloween.

Gauge's Birthday!

So since I haven't really blogged since September I have some things to catch up on. I guess I'll try.

Gauge's birthday was back at the end of October. My big boy turned 3 and I cried. We were down in Cedar while Russell had some Vacation time, So we celebrated his birthday there. We all went to Funtime Inflateables which was WICKED Awesome for a 3 yr olds birthday. It was a really great birthday for Gauge and I think we all had a pretty good time.

The Awesome Scooby-Doo cake was created by non other then his talented Aunt Nettie. Thanks to everyone for coming and making his 3rd birthday soo special!

Here I am!

People have been telling me I need to blog. Well these people have no idea just how LAZY I am! So this is me blogging. Latidatida bloggin bloggin bloggin...... Oh I have a sewing maching now I wish someone would come teach me how to use it. Then maybe I would really blog. If it didn't take so darn long to upload pictures I might try harder. But then again I would still probably be to lazy. So aren't you all glad you read my new blog? I am glad you read it. Hahahahaha..... I am gonna go take my medication now!
Okay okay when everyone in this house is better and I am not doling out 6 differant medications everyday I will really blog. Love ya all!

-The crazy lady who lived in a shoe

I realize I haven't blogged in awhile. But I have a lot I should blog about and it's kind of overwhelming so instead I haven't blogged at all. Don't you worry though ( not that you would) I will do it soon....maybe. I do have a funny story though. About who you ask? Well Gauge of course since he is our resident entertainment and comedian.
Lately Gauge seems to put everthing in his mouth. Okay that's been happening for about 2 years now since he decided he liked to pick his nose and that it also tasted very good. I know gross! Anywho lately it's gotten bad..... He chews on everything. He has chewed all his fingernails down, He chews his books, his toys, his cups and his clothing. Anyway lately we have caught him biting his toenails.
I keep telling him it's gonna hurt really bad if he doesn't stop. Well the other day he is in the bathtub and starts crying hysterically. So I run in completely frazzled hoping he didn't nearly drowned while I wasn't in the room. Anyway he is holding his toe out of the water screaming and it's bleeding all over. I new exactly what happened as soon as I saw it. He had been biting his big toenail and ripped it half-way off. I hurried and washed him and scooped him out to love him. I said Gauge what happened to your toe? Welll apperently i didn't know what happend because in the middle of his hysterics Gauge said "The tiger in the bathtub bited my toe off!" What the heck kid where do you get this stuff.
If that isn't funny enough the next day I hear him crying about his toe again so go too look at it but this time he's done it to the other foot. So i said "Gauge what happened to your toe? Did a tiger bite it again?"
"No that monkey pulled it off"
Oh my heck the kid cracks me up!

So life is crazy around this place. I am loving it but finding it a challenge to give everyone including myself the attention they need. Not to mention getting the house together.

So this is just a little picture preview of things around here.
