AHHhh, It's all coming together now.

Croup. I should have guessed it was coming. It's been making it's arrival over the last 3 days. My Friday ended with an entire bottle of glass cleaner dumped on my kitchen floor, kids whining for supper, a crying baby, me scrambling around the house -tripping over toys/trying to keep the munchkins happy, and last but not least, a husband calling 45 minutes after he usually gets home to say that he didn't know what time he'd be home tonight. Perfect. It absolutely NEVER fails, my worst SAHM days, Mike always ends up working late. Seriously, who works late on a Friday night?! Pick that guy. Oh well, it allowed me extra time to feel sorry for myself while washing dishes, so I could make room to wash more dishes.
Thankfully, yesterday made up for my bad Friday. I had a blast with Sherry!!! We had such a fun girly day. We indulged all day. I bought an awesome Tupperware pickle container. It's pretty sweet, you pull up the handle and the pickles rise out of the pickle juice - no more fishing with a fork! I'm going to take a picture of it and post it! That reminds me, I still need to get over to Webster to take a picture of Kat's Bolcano before the house is handed over to the new owners.

Pretty snazzy huh? It even matches my house. Sherry bought one too, only the smaller version. Mine can hold a giant jar of pickles. Her's is more practical maybe, and it's pink.

This week should go by fast. I have something going on tomorrow, Wednesday - we hand the keys over, Thursday is Sampson's neurosurgeon appointment, and Friday Kenz has no school and it's Mike's EDO. Also, Sammy has his 6 month vaccinations Friday morning as well. Have a good, healthy, and productive week - I have to run, I can hear my baby seal barking upstairs....

oh. One of THOSE.

It's just one of those days. Sammen has cried, er screamed, since about 8 am. I've been up since 3. And before that it was minutes here and there. My poor boy - I don't know if he swallowed something he shouldn't have, or if he is coming down with something? It seems to be a gut issue - lots of gas and bearing down, but he won't latch on either...crap, it's just one of those moments that you can't do anything but join in on the crying. Of course it isn't Mike's EDO today.
I feel bad for that boy too. Mr. McNutt, that is. I rely so much on him. He is my best friend, my best support in every way. There is lots of pressure on that guy.
Tomorrow I'm having a girl day with Mike's sister. I am so excited! I don't spend as much time as I'd like with his sisters...it should be a fun day! I wish at least one of them lived here. I mean, not in my house, but in the neighbourhood - would be nice. Oh, except Marcy. Nobody likes her.
I can only imagine what Marcy's face looked like as she just read that (probably while at work - get to work MARCY!) I was kidding of course! Everyone loves Marcy, c'mon!! It's Marcy! She is one of my favorite blondes in the entire world - for sure in the top 3!! I'm for sure getting hatemail after this.

Welcome Baby Tye Ashton

Tye Ashton Maier was born this morning at, I think,...3:44am. He is 9lb 1oz and 21" long. He looks like he may have the same haircolor as Justin. He is perfect!! Congrats Justin and Alex on your sweet little boy! We love you Tye!

I can't get on my facebook.

I feel so lost. Sam is sleeping. Mike and the girls went "errand running". And my facebook is down. I don't even know what to do with myself. I don't even have anything worth blogging about. OH Except.....

SAM is 8 MONTHS OLD TODAY!!!!!!

He has grown soooo much, and he is so smart already!!! He even helps himself to snacks...

Today's Katarinaisms

1. "I'm glad I'm not a snail, 'cuz then I'd be all slobbery."

2. "You need to build a big fence around my door, 'cuz Kenz always comes in my room and messes up all my stuff."

3. "I'm gonna wear my bathing suit to bath tonight, 'cuz Sam always try to grab a peak and then I'd get embarrassed".

4. "Someday when I'm a real old lady, older than Ma and older than Daddy's mom - I'm gonna jump with a parachute and go 'blbuububuueugeughubyu' (making a funny noise and waving her arms) - that would be real funny."

5. "Ma gave me two pieces of white chocolate, one for me and one to share with Kenz, and (pause) by accident I ate them both."

That's all my tired mommy brain can remember for now....I'm sure there was more...believe it or not, those were all from just today.

ps- did you watch LOST this week?!?

pps-Webster is officially sold!!! Yipeeeeeeeee!

ppps-150 hits in one day?!? C'mon lurkers! Come on out and "follow"!!!!

It's ok. I'm a professional Mommy.

This video montage was supposed to be of Samuel's first year, but with all that has happened - I wanted to celebrate who he is now through his cranio journey.
