Well, summer is nearing an end and that only means one thing. Everyone needs a doctor's appointment to make sure they get their shots in! Unfortunately for me, Alyssa's birth date is close to then (6/26) and it is hard to get one in time. I also learned something else today too. Check ups are only covered by your insurance once a year and it doesn't matter if it is the day before a year is up, they still won't cover it! :( So I drag all the kids up there because I had to and Alyssa has to have her blue form before she can sign up for school.
Ever since she had staph infection she has been afraid of the doctor's office. Well, I didn't tell her we were going there this morning but I did already tell her before that she had to go to be able to go to school.... I came to my exit, took the ramp down and she noticed where we were.... next I hear "Momma that's my doctors office" (it's a hospital too) "NO momma don't take me there, go somewhere else! I don't want shots! I don't want shots!". Over and over. I couldn't find a parking spot, there were lots of people in the parking deck and I cannot stand this deck... small parking spaces, sharp turns, not much room to drive around, steep ramps that when there is a long line makes your car die (I drive a stick) because some one quickly stops because they *almost* didn't see that parking spot that you already had your eye on.
I get in there and here the bit about my insurance not covering it. They call us back and Alyssa starts in with the rant about no shots. She cried and didn't cooperate the entire time from being weighed, measured, and checked out by the doctor. Doctor left and Alyssa wanted to leave... but we couldn't because she needed shots and blood work. The whole time we were waiting for the nurse to bring the needles of doom she screamed. Kailey screamed because she was tired. Tyler screamed, still not sure why. It seemed like forever before that nurse came! It took 3 of us to hold her down so she could get her 4 shots. Then came the finger prick which I reminded her was just like when Kailey was in mommy's tummy and I had it done all the time and also that she got a hand stamp for that and could almost have her sucker now.
Whew!
Height 42" 90%
Weight 35.2lbs 75%
She is almost tall enough to get by and ride on a rollarcoaster, at 4 years old!
Heading home Alyssa goes, "mommy, do we have hairs in our nose?"
Me, "yes baby we have hair in our nose"
Alyssa,"but, I don't feel any hairs in my nose".
Then I explained to her about how there is dust and germs in the air and we have hairs in our nose to catch it so we don't breath it in to our bodies and that's what boogers are.
Alyssa " Do we get the boogers out with our fingers?"
Me "No, we use a tissue in the bathroom"
Alyssa "But I Can use my fingers" (can said with two syllables, very southern-like)
Next conversation a few minutes after this one was "Mommy can we play a funny game?" she calls them funny instead of fun. "How about Timon Says?" (Simon Says)"I say Stimon Says and you do what Stimon Says but if I don't s Timon says and you do it then I laugh like this *insert laugh here*"
She went through several 'commands' some of which I had to say we couldn't do in the car and then this crazy bright girl goes.
"Stimon says, go to the playplace" She wanted me to take her to McDonalds playplace lol. What a mess!?

Busy Busy
You know that secret that every one has? Well, one of mine is that my smallest room that is supposed to be for my youngest is well... piled up. You know all those clothes you can never keep up with, broken furniture the kids had a lot to do with, accumulated outgrown clothing.. etc.
I find it hard to keep up with laundry but it doesn't help when your DH just throws it in a baby bed... yeah a huge pile looks more inviting to fold than say.. 6 baskets?
We didn't have a mattress for Kailey which is how this happened in the first place. Now, thanks to my aunt Traci (thank you!) we have a mattress. So... the cleaning task had to be done. I piled it all up so she could sleep on it that night but today I just got around to cleaning the room out.
I folded 8 baskets of clothes (some just came out of the washer/dryer today) and put away 2 bags of outgrown/ out of season things. I can walk in half of it now! There is only 2 buckets left to go and ALL of our laundry will be clean.. oh and a box of socks that need matched.
When my husband got home, I asked him to take the kids out so I could continue cleaning. When he got back in and I showed him the room he said, "Yeah, that's a start." Of course I got mad..

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
WTH was I thinking? I am usually a very calm person. It really does take a lot to make me angry. But it didn't help that I didn't sleep AT ALL last night.. I kind of couldn't plus I read nearly a whole 600pg book and didn't sleep *stupid*. It sounded ok at the time and I reasoned with myself that I just recently had a nb so I should still be ok will loss of sleep right? Well I enjoyed my book though was in a haze by morning since I haven't slept well lately anyways. By midday I was ok though still tired. To my point though...
Yesterday my daughter literally tore a hole in her box springs(minus the springs) and was sleeping in it! UGH I was so scared of my husbands reaction and ... he laughed.. not something I would think he would normally do. These stupid destructive tendencies happen pretty much every day with the older two. Anyways he brought home more suprises, a cookie cake and guitar strings and another book.
That was the bad here is the ugly. Today.. dd1 decided to make more michief of course (can you tell I'm still livid!) I was vaccuming my bedroom and went to put it away in the laundry room to find that she had poured water in a brand new (used for 2 bottles) can of formula.... It was ruined and my last one and was supposed to last until we got paid again. Sometimes I feel helplessly caught in this distructive chaos wondering why I can't be more on top of things. Like I said I don't normally get mad but played in with sleep deprivation I grabbed up the can and flung it in the sink... at the same time I was on the phone with my FIL because he called the second I picked up the phone to call DH... He was next door at my Grandmother IL's came over took one look then left.. called DH. I have a huge gash in my thumb and then a small lateral cut too that took a bit to stop bleeding.. all this hurting myself of course happened with him on the phone and I just may have cursed or at least said half of one unable to finish (I DO NOT want to or like to curse). I really can't remember all that well since I was aggrivated not talking to who I wanted to....cut.. and had formula spash up all at the same time.... It's hard to do anything and I'm wondering if I will be able to comfortable knit for a few days... great
It doesn't seem fair to add the good in with this glum rant of a post but I suppose it needs it and the title suggests it's pressence. (the more books I read the more my mind and speach mimmick that of written literature and novels... on the norm I feel I have dummed down since out of school and me time.. honestly) The above mentioned suprises count in this part but I also recieved my dyes in the mail unexpectadly and... something else. Some Peace Fleece from a good friend Katidids.. still haven't charged my camera yet. Thanks Katie!
Maybe I can calm down now but I have 3 kids screaming.. one hungry and her formula I know it pretty much ruined... I think I can salvage some from the bottom (there was a wooden spoon in there like Alyssa was going to stir it.....) and I have a good mess to clean up and I really need a shower but I think that will have to wait.... I feel sick and I'm not sure what upsets me the most.. the waste, the constant episodes of destruction, my innability to catch them before they happen, the nasty smell of soy milk all over my counter and clothes, or the smell of blood....
Ironically I am reading a Vampire/Wearwolfe book...
My hand hurts... this is where there would normally be a nervous lol

Expensive Dissapointments
Well, my son has been sick lately. Two months ago he started smelling bad and had a rash on his bottom. I did what I knew to do, strip my diapers, put medicine on him, change him often, and read the boards on my yahoo groups. I just thought it was a yeast rash again but it just got worse. I took him to the Dr. and he said it was a Staff infection! yikes! So I bleached my diapers since I have 3 kids in them and kept separate the ones I used on him. He went through antibiotics and a topical cream. ($75 worth of medicine and co-pay)
I called back a week after he finished his medicine and said he still smelled (he was still waking up in the middle of the night too and that is NOT like him to have to sleep with us) and they said they don't give a follow up of antibiotics that I probably just needed to keep putting the topical cream on him but if he gets worse to bring him in.
It is now two weeks after that and I called and make an appointment... Today was my 3yo daughters first Christmas play.. and I had to miss it! I mean sure she probably just stood there looking around not singing but still. I know she knows the songs since she runs around the house singing them. She probably also saw all the other kids' parents. *sighs*
Turns out my son has a double ear infection and a sinus infection that has also spread to his mouth and it now has sores in it. He smells like a foot with fungus and has now for 2 or more months. I really hope he gets completely better now because this time.. the bill was even higher ($120+ missing a priceless moment with my daughter)
The company my husband works for was bought out nearly a year ago now and it changed our insurance for the worse... it has been a big pain this year. I don't know if I should go to her Christmas party because I'd have to bring my other two kids and with Ty being sick plus they'll have food and exchange gifts which he would not like being left out in... I just want to cry myself to sleep.
But to end on a positive note... I should get my Crickett's diapers in today... yeah don't know if that really is going to cheer me up.
Oh and Tyler threw a fit the entire time we were at the Dr. office. He did not want to be weighed or his ears checked. I had to hold him down and he kicked the Dr. in the knee... Thankfully he just kind of laughed/ignored it.
