Updating

Well, it's been a very eventful few days, to say the least.  First, the guys are taking the dogs back.  I can't get Prince to stop going to the bathroom all over the house, didn't want to get rid of Blackie, but it's for the best.  They want Prince to have company, and Alex is right, it's one less thing to deal with once baby's here.  The cat's are pretty self-sufficient, dogs aren't. 

Anywhooo, something else has happened, but we know who did it and they will FRY!  (I know this message is cryptic, but at present time, this person can't know we know...the law will take care of her stupid azz.)

Went to the doc today-everythings lookin good and we're a-go for next Thursday.  Baby dropped 2 days ago and OMG the pain in my back (sciatic) and abdomen cramping (not to mention my groin..ayeeee).  Has let up some today-guess she shifted some.  They offered to check me to see if I'm dialating or anything, told em nah...Thursday will be here soon enough, I don't need to be dwelling on being so many cents dialated.  I'm scared to death-not of dealing with a new baby (we all fumble are way thru parenthood w/out a handbook..LOL), but of labor!  I can't handle another one like last time, and even tho I KNOW they won't let me go as long and I KNOW they'll give me an epidural..I'm still scared crapless.  I have the 'normal' fears, too..something happens to me, something wrong with baby, etc...Just trying to take deep breaths and keep myself busy with other things. 

Got one of my W2's.  I had sent letters off to past employers nearly 2 months ago with my new addie..did they send to the new addie? Hell no...morons.  So now I just have to hope and pray I get them here-I'm going to call the one place I'm waiting for (it's the big one) and either have them send it to the right place (if it hasn't been sent already) or hold it til I pick it up.  My luck, it's already gone...:(

Kaitlynne's counselor has flaked out on the last 2 attempts at a homevisit, claiming my fault on both, then apologizing when I pointed out we were here waiting patiently while SHE didn't show up.  I left her a really nasty message today-told her she can put in her little folder that SHE screwed up AGAIN.  I swear, I don't have the time, patience, energy to deal with this stupidity!!!!

Oh, quick note:  Got an email today regarding my 10 year high school reunion!!!! I can't believe it's already!!!!  OMG!!!!  Ayeeeee....like the grey hairs weren't enough...LOL!

*sigh*  That's enough for tonight---I'm tired after the drive, then dealing with the bullshyt encrypted up top.  *toodles*

Aol's Browser must be terminated!

Haven't been able to access my journal (or anyone else's) for a couple days now, grrrrrrrr AOL's browser is a POS!  Ok, anywho...anything exciting...oh yes, Thursday at my doc appointment we set up all the dirty little details!  It will definately be Feb 3rd that we go to the hospital (good thing, they said it might not be that day and Alex already had it off of work), and we go in at 8pm.  Alex said he'd take the tour with me (they don't really do 'tours' just go look around..I didn't want to go do it myself), so hopefully we can do that next Friday or Saturday.  Oh, had another sonogram, too, to check size and lung function....she's lookin' good-almost 7lbs already!  If I was going to go the full 40, she'd most likely be bigger then Kaitlynne at 9lbs!  Aye!  They said she'll likely pack on atleast one more pound before being born (only gained 2 lbs in a month, and it went straight to baby).  BP looked good after them up'ing my meds, however I ran out...I HAVE to go get the script tomorrow, I just didn't feel like going out in this frigidass weather for it tonight.

I was having such a hard day with Kaitlynne today..she just kept willfully ignoring everything I said to her completely...then I realized she was having a 'manic' day.  It's been so long since she had a total manic episode I had nearly forgotten what it was like...no meds touched it, nothing phased her at all.  I finally chilled w/ the yelling (I'm 9mos pregnant..it's hard to NOT yell at everything and anything from anyone), and we laid down and watched tv.  I watched the Extreme Makeover-Home Edition.  And man, I bawled!  Just grabbed Kaitlynne closer and bawled!  Poor girl, 15 yrs old, had some kind of disease and had to undergo a core-blood transplant, chemo, etc...it was good to see her smile, I guess she is going to get better..but man, made me feel like dogshyt for getting upset with Kaitlynne.  Could have it so much worse then dealing with the ADHD/Bipolar...

Anywho, that's about it.  Things are starting to get antsy around here.  All getting excited about baby coming, worried about money, etc...I know we'll be fine, but I'm eager to meet this lil girl, as well as get back to work and ditch some of this financial stress we're under.  Eh, blah...bills will get paid oneway or another, atleast we all hope :)  *Toodles*

...Tired...

So, after emailing Scott & Petey I expected to hear something from them.  I know the email was pissy, but it wasn't directed at them, it was directed at the dumbass dogs.  Mom calls me yesterday..."Why are you getting rid of the dogs?  Petey called me and asked me to take Blackie...".  Well, considering Petey said he'd rather see Blackie put to sleep then with my mother, I knew this was his shitty little slap in the face to me.  Soooo, I call Scott's cellphone, and low-n-behold his 'keeper' answers.  I chewed ass.  I told him he had no right doing and acting like this.  They dumped these dogs on me because THEY didn't want them pissing and shitting all over their new house!  I took them as a damn favor (as usual, just like mom's cat that crapped in the shower a few times and her rats that ate my spark plug wires...).  I told him we'd keep Blackie (after putting Prince in the carrier and leaving Blackie out, then doing the opposite, it was easy to follow the trail of shit and piss to Prince), but Prince had to go.  He said they would take him back-no problem.  He's still here, so far.  It's not the dog, I have a KID coming in 2 weeks and this dog is being taken outside every half hour and still doing this all over the house-I don't have the TIME or PATIENCE for this crap, nor for Petey's lil fagtrums (as Scott calls them).  So, chewed ass...haven't heard anything from Scott-kinda sad, he seems to have lost all sense of 'balls' while with Petey..but whatever.

I take mom to the store yesterday (after she calls whining about walking to winn-dixie and walking back with a cart like a bag lady rather then just ask me for a ride???), and she says she has 39 bucks.  No problem, should be able to get quite a bit for a single woman with that.  So, I go in with her.  She's picking up name brand crap left and right.  $4/box cereal, $7/pack ground CHUCK...I put it all back and economize her shit.  She got 3x as much doing it my way, including what she needed to get.  She just figured she'd 'write a check' if she went over...this is the checking account she found out about that has MY name on it as well as hers...needless to say, I am getting off of it come hell or highwater Friday.  She gets so pissed when I say I don't want on it with her, but come on...if it had been me who jacked some checking acct. in the whole over $800, she wouldn't want to jump to get on another acct. with me.  And I made her PROMISE not to use checks, just get cash or money orders...but, her promise is as good as her meds, and she got checks anyway.  She wasn't even supposed to know this acct. still existed, but the bitch at the bank was kind enough to remind her of it being open.  Lovely...

Donald was SOOOOOOO kind enough to go to her house afterwork today to fix her car.  He yanked the alternator, took it down to get tested, found it was fine.  Came back, piddled around with the car, had her try to start it a few times...heard the cellunoid rattle then POP, started right up.  So, she has to get that replaced, not the alternator.  He said he'd fix that, too, when she got the part.  I felt so ridiculous asking him to fix my mom's car-not enough he's always right there when I need him, now fixing her car.  What does she say to me when I tell her he's coming over to fix it?  "He doesn't expect money for this, does he, cuz I don't have it."  I can't explain how mentally drained I am right now from her (and Kaitlynne).  I'm so depressed I can hardly find reason to get out of bed (other then to get Kaitlynne out of the kitchen).  And I have a baby coming in 2 weeks.  I told mom AGAIN today to lay the hell off me, I can't take anymore of her negative constant harassment/bitching.  She says she isn't like that and she never asks me for anything (no, she doesn't ever ask me for anything..she just calls 4x a day to tell me things like her life is shit cuz she doesn't have a man, she's no better then a bag lady pushing a cart down the road, she can't carry her laundry up to the laundrymat so guess she'll have to wear dirty underwear...nope, doesn't ask me for anything, just makes me feel like TOTAL SHIT about EVERYTHING).  And Scott and Petey will do nothing with her, at all.  She is not allowed to have their home number (or to even know they have a home phone), and they never return her calls when she leaves messages.  So, it's all me.  And when I tell her to lighten up-I'm the bitch. 

Anyway...I know the hormones don't help this situation, but as I just told Scott on messenger-dealing with mom day in and day out issucking the life out of me so that when I get problems of my own, I can't hardly deal with them because I'm so depressed and frazzled over HER shit.  Don't know if it makes sense or not, but she's SUFFOCATING me...

Enough with this...it doesn't do any good to anyone, including me.  We did clean Kaitlynne's room today.  Every toy (including tv and nintendo) is locked in the closet until she realizes she can NOT do whatever she wants, whenever she wants, with whomevers belongings.  She didn't seem happy, but we did leave books out for her to read.  She read a book and fell asleep tonight.  Alex was such a sweetie to help me-I didn't want to have it seem I was cleaning her room for her, and also I couldn't-I can hardly bend over, stand for too long, etc...it would have taken me all day to do it myself. 

Anywho, I'm done.  Tomorrow we set the time for the induction...*toodles*.

Monday *blah*

Ok, Thursday:  NST, baby good, BP up (no kidding), kept telling them I didn't feel well, they sent me home.  I got home, wasn't in the door 5 minutes and started the damn vomiting again.  Felt sick rest of the day/night. 

Friday:  Felt better, thank goodness.  Didn't do too much this day, don't think (preggo-brain, can't remember shyt).

Saturday:  Got all excited to go out on our last 'date night' for awhile, but mom's car wouldn't start.  Figure it to be the alternator (Donald tried to tell her, but she just got a new battery and said screw it..now it's dead).  So, told her to get prices on alternators, I'd talk to Scott.  Scott can't fix it...ok, so now I've got to ask Donald, and if he can't/won't then I'll have to call James.  Anywho, we ended up going to Golden Corral (all 3 of us), still had a good time, just was hoping for a  little alone time with Alex.  Maybe next weekend...

Sunday:  Went to the hotel to meet a gal to swap some kids clothes for a camera bag-she didn't show up.  Found out later she had called the house after I left saying she wouldn't make it, going to try again Tuesday.  Did stay and eat dinner there with mom, tho.  Was ok.

Today:  Went to Orlando yet again for NST-baby wasn't very active today, but finally got her to wake up enough to see her heartrate is good.  BP was really up this time, so a doctor came in while I was doing the NST and wrote me a script to up my BP meds (again).  Whatever they gave me, it knocked my ass OUT.  I should NOT have been driving home, could hardly keep my eyes open.  I was going so slow, so scared I'd wreck, but didn't want to pull off-I had Kait in the car, and I was afraid if I fell asleep in the car somewhere, she'd get out or something.  So, crawled home, and passed out cold on the bed.  Never heard Alex leave for work, anything.  Got up, still dazed, around 230p or so, then passed out again til 530p.  Was not a pleasant feeling, to say the least.  Got off to the grocery store, made dinner, watched tv with Kaitlynne, took a bath.  Pretty kosher now.  Damn dogs (which are going..either back to my brother or somewhere) are in their cage.  No matter how many times I discipline them or how many times we all take them out, they are still pissing/shitting everywhere and I can't STAND it.  So, I emailed Scott (pretty sure he's avoiding me now) to ask him if he knows anyone who wants them.  He doesn't email/call me back soon, they'll go to whoever I find wants them.  Just need a place to run outside, atleast Prince does.  I'd like Blackie, but she's the one pissing on the bed (oh HELL NO). 

Anywho, guess that's about it for new and exciting goings-on here.  *Toodles*

...

Monday- NST was ok, baby good.  BP was up, tried to get me to be admitted.  I bargained to let me monitor it at home and I'd go if it didn't go down.  It went down that evening.  Also, Donald saw Prince up at Dollar General with some lady that had been hunting like mad for the owner.  It was all I could do not to want to strangle lil buttheaded dog while she was all happy for him being home.  She acted like at first I was trying to make it all up, steal him...yah ok..lil punk.  But, glad he's safe...came home to a nice warm home, Blackie and Smokey both attacked him, then he had diarhea all over the floor all night (luckily on the linoleum, or he'd be dead-pom).

Tuesday-Talked to Kait's teacher briefly.  Told me there's been a decline in grades.  It was all I could do to not start bawling in the classroom.  She told me she know's Kait's trying as hard as she can, but the concentration level just isn't there.  So, she's recommending her to be 'screened for testing'.  I guess that means special classes, I don't even know.  I was so dissappointed, I know Kait's been trying hard...just so easily distracted..off in space.  Her new med does seem to help some, just don't know if it's enough.  I held the tears back (barely) until I got in the car...then bawled..and bawled.  I want so much for it to be easier for her...for her to be like the 'other' kids.  It's not fair...

Today-Was out with Kim most of the day.  Went to Target, picked up the last few odds & ends for baby and I.  Went to the mall to find something for Alex, but couldn't find it.  Took Kim to El Toreo for being kind enough to pick up my kid twice a week, and keep her one day a week for the doc appointments.  Stayed at their house for a lil while talking to her and Donald and watching 'Birth Day' on Discovery (and discussing the art of stretching the 'f-hole'....).  Came home, not feeling well.  Cramping, back hurts..not contractions, really...baby's moving, but not as much...thinking she just went down further.  Getting paranoid after reading about a couple of ladies losing their babies late in pregnancy.  I feel so bad for them, makes you realize it can happen at any time to any one tho.  MaybeI just have myself worked up, stressing out over so many things...of which I have no control of.  Want to talk to someone, just don't really think anyone wants to hear what I've got to say today.  Feel like I'm coming across as a whiner-scared....whatever, I'm a big girl...I'll suck it up and move on, as always.

Tomorrow-NST again, maybe lunch with Sabrina again if she can get out of her doc appointment not too late.  And how I feel..hopefully better...

 

*Toodles*

Quick Update

Ok, went to the doc Thursday.  Stress test was good, BP up (but not horrid).  When I saw the doc, we talked about the fact that the due date I was originally given has to be the most accurate.  I KNOW what day my last period was, and this baby is measuring just a tad big for that date (but WAY big for the date they gave me afterwards).  So, they've changed induction date from Feb. 10th, to Feb. 3rd.  Yes...not even 4 weeks away--I'm way nervous now, but anxious to see her.  We'll go down that Thursday, they'll start the induction--but have me in a regular room, I can eat, walk around, watch tv, etc...then when things really get moving, I'll move to labor & delivery and OH YEAH BABE get an epi.  I'm guessing that I won't have her before that following Friday, the 4th.  My mom will be here with Kaitlynne, then Kim and Donald are coming down that Friday and will bring the 2 of them with them.  I just can't believe she'll be here so soon..to be honest, have the time it doesn't even sink into my head that there IS a baby.  I mean, duh, I know I'm pregnant and feel her move and all..just seems surreal.  Been a long time since I had an itty-bitty.  I'm excited tho...we get our lay-away off next week, and I think we're about set on baby stuff (for awhile..got the basics down-I'm sure we'll need other stuff, but got what we'll need right now).  

Yesterday Alex let the dogs out to go to the bathroom.  He misjudged Prince's loyalty (everyone knew the dog would dart, but Alex hoped he wouldn't...).  Needless to say, the dog is gone.  Haven't seen him since 9am yesterday morning.  We went all over the damn neighborhood, have half of them looking for him, too.  I'm going to put a sign up at the gas station and grocery out here...hope whoever took him will give him back.  I know someone has him...he would be back by now otherwise.  Full-blooded Pomeranian..he has tags tho, not that that apparantly matters to whoever has him...anyway, I'll put the signs up...and just hope someone gives him back.  Blackie seems quite content to have him gone, tho...lol.  Anyway, just keeping fingers crossed now.  Scott and Petey aren't too surprised-they thought he would have darted long before this, but we generally took him out on a leash.  Damn mutt..lol.

We went to Target today...any of y'all with kids need to check it out-big time toy clearance going on right now..getting rid of the 'old' toys (including barbies, bratz, spiderman, etc..) cheap.  We got a few things for later on.  Went to Golden Corral for lunch (thank you Alex)....I've been wanting it so bad lately, but it's so damn expensive.  Then went to Goodwill-got 4 more pairs of baby pants and a baby tub (almost new).  Came home, fell asleep for 2 hours (take naps whenever I can--soon enough, no sleep..lol), made dinner, now everyone's just relaxing, doing their own thing.

Guess that's about it, can't think of anything else super-thrilling that's happened.  I'm about to EXPLODE..even Alex said it today.  I find out in a week and a half how big she is (they'll do an extensive ultrasound the week before labor to make sure size is good, lungs are developing well, etc..).  I'm outta here..*Toodles*.

 

I can see my reflection..in my feet...

Indigestion...YES...tired...oh yeah...and omg, my feet and legs are so swollen it even freaked Donald out.  I've tried propping them up, laying down for a few hours on my left side, drinking a ton of water (that only made me have to pee a few more dozen times).  They HURT!  My toes look distorted compared to these giants.  I can't even explain it, I can't BEND my ankles..at all.  And my legs, ok I have fat legs anyway, but they're twice their normal size (yes, you can tell..LOL).  Aye yay yay.  Alex wanted me to call the doc (believe me, I was tempted), but I go tomorrow to the doc..going to try and hold out.  I don't want to go to L&D if I don't have to.  I'm so ready for this lil munchkin to come, but it's too early.  Normally I can take my mind off of it, but the feet thing is too obnoxious to ignore..LOL.

Today I did go to Toys R Us with Kim.  They had this big section of clearance, and today only you took 70% MORE off of the clearance price, it was nuts!  I got 9 Backstreet Boys and N'Sync backpacks (good ones) for 59cents each.  Cute egg-shaped bubble-blowers for easter-6 cents each.  A 'Hitclip' player and lil song (Kaitlynne's favorite, Enrique) for 89 cents.  Got $60.20 worth of stuff for $17.99.  Going to sell the backpacks on Ebay..lol.  Anywho, that was my excitement for the day.

Donald and Kim did come over (I was half-asleep laying here with my feet up) and she did the carpet spots for me, and Donald tried figuring out the problem with the washer leaving spots.  He couldn't find anything, but he did reconnect the airhose on the dryer (find that helps in getting the clothes dry..lol).

I start my twice a week appointments to Orlando next week.  Kim is going to keep Kaitlynne on Mondays for me so that mom doesn't have to drive out here twice a week (I can't afford to do gas for her twice a week, plus $20/a trip for me, too).

Be glad when this weeks over.  Ready for Alex to be home for a couple days, ready to have this house inspection done and over with, blah blah blah.  That's it for me, I guess.  *Toodles*

...

The nonstop indigestion is getting REALLY old REALLY quick.  Going to ask the doc if there's something besides the superduty Tums I can take...I know it's all part of it, old wives tale says that means baby has head full of hair.  Kaitlynne did, and I had the indigestion then, so maybe it's true...  Anywho, just be glad when it calms down (goes away).  I know it's not good to have it for too long...erodes the esophagus, or something like that.  Anywho, I guess it's all part of the 'welcome to the 8th month-your body has officially been invaded and is no longer your own'.  Love being pregnant, but like most women, it's really tough when you get to this stage.  You're so ready, but you know babes isn't, so you suffer (and try to make sure everyone around you is suffering too). 

I put the carseat and stroller together today.  The base on the carseat is dang heavy...but VERY nice that you no longer have to strap the seatbelt EVERY time you put baby in the car.  It also snaps onto the stroller...also pretty cool..I love the stroller-was well worth the bucks I paid for it.  Kim got me a couple more outfits at Bealls Outlet the other day..too big for baby for a few months, but very cute.  Also gave me the pack of diapers she used a couple out of at the babyshower.  She had intended on keeping them for when she gets preggo, but they've stopped 'trying', and now just go at it like bunnies (she said they're both still aware of what week is what tho...lord knows it'll happen, she's fertile myrtle like the rest of her family..lol).  Oh, wonderful woman down the road is giving us a crib for free!  Just have to go pick it up, so going to ask Kim if maybe we can get it in her van?  Lady lives really close to Kim..anywho, I thought it was really neat and definately nice of her.  We did just get the bassinett, which we'll use for sure for awhile.  Nice to have the crib tho, just have to get a mattress.

Kaitlynne's meds got switched yesterday...I'm hoping and praying this works for her, cuz it knocks out 2 of the other pills...less pills is just fine with me.  She did get in trouble for threatening to 'throw a computer' on a girl today, but this is a particular girl that is usually picking on Kaitlynne (and anyone else around), so I'm sure something was said to get her to say that to the girl.  Kaitlynne's a handfull, no doubt, but usually needs to be provoked before she's ever mean. 

Think Kim and I are going running around tomorrow, don't know tho.  They were supposed to stop by tonight (Kim was going to do the carpet clean, Donald was going to check something on my washer).  Didn't show, but I know when I was with Kim earlier, she said that Donald had gotten pissed off at her for something ridiculous last night, and of course carried the grudge over thru today.  I'm guessing that's why I didn't see them.  No biggie tho, I know she'll come by and do the carpet thing for me, tho the odor is getting better.  I need to go make a small payment on my layaway tomorrow.  I'll be glad when things aren't so tight with the bucks.  Taxes will give us a boost until I can get back to work...nice to take a deep breath.

I sent a letter to Kaitlynne's dad today.  Said I know he's either left town, or wants me to think it, and I personally don't care-but feel it's really rotten to do to Kaitlynne.  I didn't go after him for anything (child support enforcement went for the child support, not me), and I've never brought it up to him that he's not sending it either.  I know he sold our house (got a very pretty penny off that, too), and I don't care about that either.  I told him that he needs to 'handle' the divorce like he said he would.  Get it done before he truly skips the country to avoid that big $172.00/month he's supposed to pay for his daughter.  @@  Whatever...we'll see what, if anything, he says about that.  I wasn't nasty about it...being nasty with Larry just gets him to ignore you all together, and I really want to get this divorce done.  It's been well over a year since I left him, he's moved on, I've moved on.  I told him not to abandon his daughter..we'll see.

Need to get my other calls done, too...tried today, kept getting busy signals on all of them..irritating.  I have to go to the doc Thursday (NST, see the doc-he wants to know how my nausea is doing), then one of the gals from the baby email loop I'm on wants to meet for lunch.  I thought that sounded fun (and safe, being a public restaurant and all).  Mom's coming to sit with Kaitlynne, but starting next week I go Monday and Thursday.  She wanted gas $$, but we won't have it for a couple weeks, and even then, it's costing $20/per trip when I go there (gas and tolls).  May have to ask Kim if she can watch Kait on one of those days.  We're almost done...baby will be here soon...I'm getting anxious, I'm ready to meet her. 

Guess that's enough for now.  The dinner I made isn't agreeing with me (and that was roast, taters, and gravy...one of my favorites, but nothing seems to agree with me anymore).  Anywho, *toodles*.

*#$(@* Heartburn :(

Hmm, ok..trying to think of what's happened since last entry.  Ok well Thursday's appointment was VERY productive and informative!  Did the NST...baby finally woke up, did her jogging routine, then got the hiccups..LOL.  Then in for the sono..this part was cool (I'm going to try and get my sono-pics scanned to put on here..I've gotten some really good ones).  She was talking!  Her mouth was just moving a mile a minute (like her Daddy..lol);  the tech gave me a bunch of pics of her doing it, was really cute.  Also told me she is at 4lbs 12oz (87th percentile..another biggun..lol), and looks very good.  She did finally go head-down, tho she's oblique (tilted to one side)...I'm sure that'll correct itself by the time I have her.  Which brings me to the doc appointment.  We got to get a really good, INFORMATIVE doc this time.  We talked about the ER visit (wants to see me again next week just to make sure I'm ok...I'm still really nauseous, can't figure that out..but taking the Phens).  Then we asked about setting a date for induction.  They had told me at 38 weeks, but it being so far for us, we'd feel better knowing.  Anywho, we picked Thursday, February 10th.  As soon as I heard a date, I could feel myself breathe a sigh of relief..but panic, too.  I felt (and still kinda do) that I wasn't ready at ALL.  I don't mean to have a baby (no one's ready for that..lol), but as far as her room, what we needed for her, and O-M-G labor..LOL.  He did say those lovely words that did help, tho...'You want an epi, you got it'..lmao!  Anywho, that's where things stand with the babes thus far.  Body aches..I've definately hit the "I'm miserable and my body has been invaded by an alien" stage..LOL!  Oh, I went to Walmart THAT NIGHT and put a bunch of stuff on lay-away...made me feel better, atleast I got most all (except the tub) the stuff we'll need asap.

Ok, next...New Years Eve.  Scott & Petey called and invited us and the girls out for bbq and fireworks.  I had forgotten all about it being a holiday, so had nothing planned..so we went.  Had the bbq (still not sitting well..nothing really is..), then they did the fireworks.  Then the neighbors showed up with MORE fireworks..LOL.  The gals had a blast, and Alex and I prettymuch hung out inside (he watched tv, I slept..LOL), and enjoyed the small breather from the kids.  Came home, watched the ball drop, went to bed, had to get up early.

New Years Day:  Drove to Georgia to take Kaity home.  Surprisingly, his ex was only 15 minutes late.  She was dressed in her oh-so-lovely attire (big gal to start with, big preggo on top of it, too-small clothes on @@).  So, we stopped in Valdosta on the way back, hit the outlet malls...had nothing..all crap.  Did take Kaitlynne to the GAP outlet (she seems to have a fascination with it), and got her a shirt on clearance (she thinks she's the bomb now).  Came back here and went to Cici's for dinner, then Kmart to get Drew a toy (party on Sunday), oh and went to a consignment shop and I got a bassinett!!! It's so cute, I'll have to take a pic!! Guess that's about it for that day...

Today:  CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN!  LOL!  Kaitlynne cleaned her room (there is an odor..not saying why..but Kim's coming over in a day or so to clean it w/ her lil machine..we have house inspection Friday..LOL).  Baby's room is coming along very nicely..so cute with the lil Pooh and the Gang stick-ons, and the wall tapestry.  And the bassinett and swing..it's all so cute, I can't hardly stand it..and to think in a few short weeks a lil babes is going to be in there..wow..I'm still floored.  Oh, went to Kim's for Drew's bday party..that was fun, whole gang there..ate, did presents, chit-chatted..then Kim and Donald brought over their dining room table (really nice wood table), cuz Kim's mom gave them hers.  So, now have a table holding the laundry in the breakfast nook (lol), and a nice one to eat on in the dining area.  Muchhhh better. 

Ok, that's enough of an update.  House is pretty, kid's asleep (thank GOD school starts tomorrow..LOL), and I'm outta here.  *Toodles*
