A sometimes shit-talking, ball-busting, loving mother to 2 boys with another baby on the way. Blame it on my hormones. Blame it on my upbringing. Blame it on the rain. Just keep an open mind and I'll keep open my direct link.Muliebrityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13501330973510257985noreply@blogger.comBlogger89125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931160569421358459.post-13173339043470922262011-07-20T09:40:00.001-05:002011-07-20T09:44:02.031-05:00Logan Wanted To Do A Video Too<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/rb73nab_-LA" width="480"></iframe><br />

<br />
A nagging feeling that something is just not right?<br />
<br />
Actually, I get that all the time and it is usually just me focusing on worry and fear. Things that deserve little attention and just serve to undermine by peace and motivation. But every once and a while I am find myself able to tell the two apart and bells start ringing all around me and I have to act.<br />
<br />
I am definitely a girl that can't help but to spring into action.<br />
<br />
My dad has an amazing sense of intuition. It's annoying as shit. The man is rarely wrong, and most of the time, I want to view him as a negative person, but he isn't negative. He is right.<br />
<br />
I really don't like being right about somethings.<br />
<br />
I pray that I have misjudged things.Muliebrityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13501330973510257985noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931160569421358459.post-13008223284507056062011-01-05T17:36:00.000-06:002011-01-05T17:36:58.551-06:00When It Just Doesn't Make Sense<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I just found out a sweet mama suddenly lost her two week old baby girl.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

We have really gotten it together on his dental care. We thought we did good before, but at the very first appointment, we learned how much we sucked. Did you know you are supposed to hold your kid down and brush their teeth until they are like 9? Me either. If you don't do that, the kiddie dentist and his perky assistant will make you feel like the worst parents in the world. They will tell you that your child will get cavities, and since they have crowded teeth, require surgery to have them repaired/removed.<br />
<br />
After a few stressful days, Logan and Hunter finally resigned themselves to the parental power brush and it has become quite easy. Well, as easy as brushing the teeth of a giant preschooler with what could possibly the boniest elbows EVER. I digress.<br />
<br />
So anyway, the boy had some good looking teeth and the dentist said I did a good job! He even gave me a sticker. Actually he didn't, but wouldn't that be funny?<br />
<br />
The only part that bummed me out was when he gave him a fluoride treatment after I specifically told everyone (but the dentist) that we are not doing fluoride because I consider it unsafe. I even had to pay $30 for the fluoride I did not want. Damn, the man.<br />
<br />
As a reward for good behavior, I took the boys to the mall to ride a beautiful carousel. We had packed a lunch and ate it at the food court. I brought a salad (I LOVE salad), but I felt like I needed some protein, so I got me a potato soft taco from Taco Bell (What? Potato is not protein? Details, details).<br />
<br />
Logan was begging for a smoothie from Panera, so I figured why not. I made the mistake of browsing Gymboree and they were having a "sale" (goodbye $40) and we passed about 9 places that also sell smoothies just to find that Panera's smoothies are $4 a piece. Damn!<br />
<br />
After Logan thew a fit because he didn't want to share a smoothie with Hunter (I had it split into two cups) and I pondered why I ever try to do anything nice for my children, we loaded up the van and drive the hour home. Then I fixed a lovely dinner in which my children proclaimed "disgusting", followed by sitting my fat ass on the couch while my hubby reads the guys a story.Muliebrityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13501330973510257985noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931160569421358459.post-59973180658605653932011-01-03T23:57:00.002-06:002011-01-03T23:57:37.244-06:00I Couldn't Resist.I ate fast food today.<br />

<br />
We all know I am an <a href="http://smithfamilyfollies.blogspot.com/2010/09/coming-to-my-senses.html">idiot</a>, right?<br />
<br />
Just when I think I have turned over a new leaf, something ridiculous happens. Something that is clearly my own fault and something I deserve (though a little mercy would be nice).<br />
<br />
Just so you can get the clearest picture of my jackassary, let me go back a month. This hurts. Give me a minute here.<br />
<br />
Sigh.<br />
<br />
Here we go.<br />
<br />
One afternoon last month it suddenly occurred to me that I haven't paid my car insurance in a while. Maybe. So I start digging and I find a notice that says, "If not paid, your insurance will be cancelled 8/31/2010." It was September 10th. Oops. REALLY.BIG.OOPS. Dang. (This maybe the 3rd time this has happened this year. Or not. Orrrrr...) I reluctantly pick up the phone and call them. The policy was cancelled. Shit. They started the process of creating a new policy and after 20 agonizing minutes, they had my new policy ready to go. I just needed to cough up the 300 bucks needed to get it going.<br />
<br />
Houston, we have a problem.<br />
<br />
Can I stop here? You get the picture, right?<br />
<br />
What? This is for my own good? Suze Orman would be proud of my honesty?<br />
<br />
Ok, ok.<br />
<br />
Hubby gets paid every two weeks, and we still had another week to go, and the insurance company doesn't take Discover (not that I had much room on it anyway).<br />
<br />
Hold that thought. I just checked my bank account is overdrawn and I need to go rob Peter to pay Paul.<br />
<br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The other day, my husband asked me, "How old is Hunter again?" </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"He just turned 2 in April."</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"So he's really just 2?"</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"I know, hubby. Can you believe it?"</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">He wasn't asking because he didn't know, he, as am I, was amazed at how advanced he is. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Advanced is not always a good thing, when you have the reasoning of a 2 year old. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">.......</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My husband was out of town overnight. No biggie, sometimes it's nice to have a little break and the day and evening went pretty well. As I was going to bed, I did something I don't normally do, I set the house alarm. We do set the alarm when we leave the house, but because disabling alarm is loud (compared to the quiet of the morning), we don't really set it on weekday nights, because my husband often leaves before the boys are up.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I set the alarm, and because I haven't set it from the inside recently, I had to fiddle with it for a few minutes and almost gave up on it. Once I got it set up, I moved along to bed. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I was startled from my slumber by what can only be descried as beyond the most annoying sound on the planet. The alarm was going off at 3:20 am. It is a cross between and bat sonar, mosquito sonar, and a crickets. And a rock concert. Two noises that should never be heard by human ears at a volume that should only be heard in a stadium. So loud and annoying</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But, not the noise you want to hear when you are home alone with three children under four. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I leaped out of bed and raced to the alarm box and on the way, I passed a small crying boy. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Hunter. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I as I keyed in the blessed combo, the sound stop. Then it started up again. Then I keyed in the combo again.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Silence.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Except for the sounds of a terrified little boy.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Had he been woken by the sound? </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Is there an intruder somewhere in the house?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"Hunter, what are you doing? Did you open the door?"</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"Yeth."</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"Why, bud?"</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"Because, because, because, I need to get my pillow pet."</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"Where is your pillow pet?"</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"It's in da stweet."</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Oh, sweet Jesus.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"In the street?"</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"Yeth."</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It was on his bed.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I changed his diaper and he was right back to sleep.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I was not so lucky.</span>Muliebrityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13501330973510257985noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931160569421358459.post-82358597288982705852010-08-30T11:20:00.001-05:002010-08-30T11:21:22.188-05:00Up to something religious?<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

That would give me plenty of time to decide how I was going to address the way I was treated and to gain some perspective.<br />
<br />
Except<br />
<br />
They called the following day to see if I would like to move my scheduled injections from the 23rd to the 11th.<br />
<br />
Ugg. I was not looking forward to these injections. After the trauma of my c-section, I wasn't any the mood to inflict farther pain on myself anytime soon, and while I desperate want relief from my back and neck pain, I didn't want it to hurt. Because I am breastfeeding, that limits what they can use for pain relief during the procedure. I was going to have to suck it up. I had some injections in my second trimester, and they really weren't too bad, considering my doctor hadn't done injections without the aid of an x-ray in years.<br />
<br />
I can do this. I need to do this. Why put off any longer what could possible provide relief from this constant pain and daily headaches? Ok, let's get this over with.<br />
<br />
A nurse from his surgery center calls with instructions, which include, no eating or drinking since I will be going under anesthesia. Well, I will not be going under because I am breastfeeding and the doctor is aware of this, because was able to treat me previously without a problem.<br />
<br />
All righty then.<br />
<br />
........<br />
<br />
On the drive there hubby attempts have me listen to the new Deftones. It was pretty heavy. I didn't find it incredibly progressive. It was grating my nerves. I kept turning it down. Hubby got all butt-hurt because her couldn't hear it.<br />
<br />
15 year old boy much?<br />
<br />
"Look, babe. I am really nervous. I am about to have my spine poked. With out drugs. It hurt when I had it done last November, but I was being a hard-ass. I know what is coming now, and the epidural I had for my c-section hurt like a mo-fo. I am just not looking forward to this."<br />
<br />
"I'm sorry. I know. I shouldn't have tried to listen to it right now away. I feel like I am going deaf and it's never loud enough. I'll listen to it later."<br />
<br />
I love this guy sometimes.<br />
<br />
........<br />
<br />
I arrive after my hour and 15 minute drive with my crew in tow. Hubby is there to act as my driver and because it is a hot day, hubby, Logan, Hunter, and the baby all set up camp in the waiting room.<br />
<br />
Sorry, people in the waiting room and surgery staff.<br />
<br />
They call me back almost right away, and I have to bring the baby back with me since she is hungry and needs to eat. We have a divided curtained area where each patient has their vitals checked, a quick consult with the doc, and prepares for surgery by having their IV put in, etc.<br />
<br />
The entire time I have having my temp taken, history given, blood pressure checked, I am nursing the baby. I again reiterate that I am breastfeeding, so I will not be under for the procedure. I wish I would be, but I can't.<br />
<br />
I had the baby back to my hubby, and wait for the doc. I am here to have injections in my neck for the first time ever. I need them in my lower back and hip too, but my daily head aches and the pain in my left arm are making me crazy.<br />
<br />
The doc comes back and we talk about my neck. The conversation lead to my back and left hip and leg. Since I had some success with the last injections there, he wants to skip the neck this time and fix that hip and leg.<br />
<br />
I guess...<br />
<br />
And...<br />
<br />
...here's where I get relieved and kind of excited...<br />
<br />
he is able to use an opiate based drug during the procedure, that will make me comfortable and not effect breastfeeding. I was given enough opiate based drugs after my c-section to kill a horse and was able to safely taken the during all my pregnancies and while breastfeeding. I had not even considered that they could use some today. I <i>know</i> they are safe.<br />
<br />
"Please give me the minimum amount. I know they are safe, but I need to resume breastfeeding as soon as possible."<br />
<br />
"No, problem. We'll make you comfortable. It will be fine."<br />
<br />
.....<br />
<br />
I lay face down of the table.<br />
<br />
There is a flurry of activity.<br />
<br />
I am still nervous.<br />
<br />
I am anticipating the warm sensation in my arm as they push the drug.<br />
<br />
"How you feeling?"<br />
<br />
"Regular."<br />
<br />
"Give her two more."<br />
<br />
Good night moon...<br />
<br />
.....<br />
<br />
I am sitting in a wheel chair.<br />
<br />
"Would you like something to drink?"<br />
<br />
"Apple juice."<br />
<br />
"We have let your husband know you are finished and he is getting the kids into the car.<br />
<br />
Here are your post-op instructions.<br />
<br />
No baths for 24 hours.<br />
<br />
And no breastfeeding for 48 hours."<br />
<br />
WHAT?!<br />
<br />
Only, because I was high as a kite, I said,<br />
<br />
"Ok, thanks. Only 48 hours?"<br />
<br />
They slipped me a mickey.<br />
<br />
Versed.<br />
<br />

<br />
Here I am, an hour plus away from home.<br />
<br />
I seriously own not one bottle.<br />
<br />
Not one.<br />
<br />
No formula.<br />
<br />
No breast pump.<br />
<br />
I am not prepared for this scenario. At all.<br />
<br />
As if it wasn't awesome already, wanna know how long I was "out" for?<br />
<br />
Less than 5 minutes.<br />
<br />
5 mins for 48 hours.<br />
<br />
And, it's World Breastfeeding Month.Muliebrityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13501330973510257985noreply@blogger.com6
