Chris had soccer practice a couple of weeks ago, my husband takes him and I say home with Zack (Roo). He has a song that he makes us listen to when we go anywhere over and over. So I decided to make him a Cd to listen to while he sleeps. He already had baby Einstein he was listening to for almost two years. I put his favorite song as number one so when I start his Cd at bedtime he will get to hear it. For this first song it had to be Out Last Night by Kenny Chesney. Then so on to Chicken Fried, Small Town Girl, some Taylor Swift and Second Chance. He has a good variety of music he likes. I also had room for some kids songs. Now when he goes to bed he will run to his room and put his arms up for me to pick him up and be put in the crib. I put his Cd on repeat and he gladly goes to sleep.
I am about ready to change his bed to a toddler bed. I'm split between changing his bed or getting a toddler bed. I may see what kinds they have out there and go from there.

Almost The House Of Our Dreams
I look up the houses in our area every so often to see what is for sale. A few weeks ago I saw this house.
We went to look at it the other day. We really like it. It has 20+ acres with it, on top of a hill in the middle of the small town we live in. The house does need a couple of things done to it, like carpet and painting. The price has been dropped twice and several people have looked but no one has bid on it as of Monday. We would have to sell our house in order to buy it. I am thinking about going to the credit union and have the loan lady go over it to see if she thinks we could afford it. The price is a really good deal especially since it has 20 acres. It has 5 bedrooms, 2 baths, a den, family room, living room, huge kitchen, dinning room, 2 stairs with small rooms under the stairs one is set up as a kids playroom. Attic and a 3 car garage. The land has a dirt road on it and fenced off, they just took the cattle off the land last month. And the best part is I would be able to stay there when it stormed. I have wanted a house like this one for a long time. The house 2 doors down is my dream house, which the people who own it will not sale. We were thinking in about 5 years selling our house and building a house like this one on some land probably starting around 20 acres or so.

I have been extremely busy at work and tired after I put the kids to bed then walk a mile at night. Caught a break today at work.

Flooding
This is a road close to Mikie's work, I'm not sure if they have shut this one down or not yet. See the hole, goes all the way through.
This is the same road as above. It moved the pavement and tucked it under another part. Look at the big chunks of pavement it moved.
This is the road on the way to Mikie's work, the reason he has to get up at 4 in the morning to go all the way around it. They do have it closed and are temporarily fixing it.

Same road as above. It is really washed out underneath. It was falling in as we watched.
This one is our driveway. I called our insurance and we do not have flood insurance in the entire county. We will have to find a way to pay to have it fixed properly. We were holding out until they finished the road. but I guess it will have to be done sooner now.

My Mothers Day
Sorry for not posting I have been so busy at work. I hardly have time to do my work much less anything else.
I wanted to remember what Christopher did for me for mothers day this year. He fixed me breakfast in bed. Now remember he is only six. My husband had to work Sunday morning, because of the flooding here. Christopher woke up before me and fixed me a plate of toast and choclate covered strawberry's. Mikie had made the strawberries on Friday. Christopher brought the plate into the bedroom and put it on my stomach. Scared me to death, I was sleeping good. He couldn't make toast. The toaster was not plugged up, he doesn't need to be using it anyway. So he put bread on my plate but it was so cute and sweet. He also made me a car that morning and had made a photo frame for a picture they took at school.
Roo gave me a mothers day present too. He slept til 8:30 that morning.
I hope to get some pics up of the roads close to Mikies work. They were flooded bad Saturday morning and no one could get there. We went out there in the afternoon and looked around.
We shopped around Saturday for our moms. We got my mom a porch swing. It is what she wanted and hers broke a while back ago. We even put it together. Mikies mom we got her a outdoor fire pit. She said she had been wanting on. I cant wait to try the chocolate marshmallows she has for it. For my granny I had worked on something for a while now. I gave her a MP3 player with the bible on it for her to listen to. I have some SD cards to put in it to that I will put other books on them for her. I didn't have it ready by Saturday when we went to visit her so I took it at lunch today. She really liked it. She is in a nursing home and it hurts her eyes to read a lot. So I thought this would be really good for her.
The pics above were taken at my granny's with my aunts new camera. She bought herself Nikon D60.

Family Issues
I wanted to go over some things that has happened in the last couple of weeks. We had to have our septic tank cleaned out and then turns out we had to have the pipe from the house cleaned out also. Cost us 400.00. We asked My parents in law to watch our kids so we could run around in the yard in the rain helping to find our septic tank. She also kept Our nephew the same night. We went and got our kids as soon at the septic people were done. My parents in law wanted us to take Dane home also but I need to go to the eye doctor on the other side of town, so we did not take him home. I am so glad we did not. They go to take him home and no one is there and will not answer there cell phones. Finally they go by there again around 6 and they are home and drop off there grandson. At this point not a biggie. Monday Mikie looks up who got arrested on the Internet. This is public knowledge that is spread out on the Internet, everyone looks it up especially on Mondays to see who went to jail over the weekend. Mostly the guys at my work will find someone we work with and put up there mug shot for everyone to see, all fun and games. It so happens my sister in law went to jail that Saturday morning for public intoxication. Now I really don't think this is a big deal, I mean who has not been in the public and intoxicated at the same time. Any one of us could have went to jail at any time for this.
Mikie saw this on Monday morning and proceeded to call his dad about the situation, which made his dad mad about the whole thing, who told my mother in law about it. She was mad at Mikie for bringing it to his dad's attention. I guess they would rather not know where she is or has been? Anyways she gets all upset that she was a bad mother. She thinks her kids did not turn out so well, even my husband. She is relaying this to him on the phone and he is like wait a minute. How did I turn out so bad? I'm not clear on how she put examples on this to prove her point, but we are supporting ourselves, buying a house and never ask anything of them except to keep our kids every now and then and that is just so we don't have to get a sitter who will do no telling what while she is with our kids.
My sister in law was suppose to keep Zack last week for 3 days our daycare lady had to be off. I asked her in advance and she said she would. That was before going to jail and not talking to her brother. I call her on Sunday to make sure she will keep him because the daycare lady had to be off Monday and Tuesday for family issues, she told me she had a job interview on Monday and could not keep him any at all that week. I'm glad she called to let me know. That put us in a spot where we had to take off of work just to keep Zack. I still haven't heard if she got the job or really had an interview.
So Mikie is currently not talking to his family. His mom did call last night and ask how long can he go without talking to his mother. He said he would talk to her as long as she did not complain about anything, nor talk about his sister. He said he was tired of hearing about it and didn't want to talk to her or be near her at all.

DayCare Hell Part 2
The pink eye is gone thank goodness. It wasn't as bad as I feared and I never came down with it. I think we are returning to daycare hell again. Our daycare ladies oldest child is having surgery next week and has to be off for 3 days. My friend was gonna watch Roo but then her husband said she could not. My sis in law said she could watch him except for Wed. she is taking her son to register for pre-k. Yesterday daycare ladies husband was rushed to the hospital for fear of a heart attack. She called my mom to pick up the Roo. He is OK but having to go to the cardo doc today. Daycare is also off another 3 days the week of spring break, I do have someone to watch the kids for then tho. Our old daycare lady is thinking about going back to watching kids at her house. The daycare she works at is moving further away and she would have to drive further. She is saying if she has enough kids she will start keeping them at her house. The current daycare will not let Mikie inside her house for some unknown reason. She will meet him on the porch and hand Roo off to him. Now mind you it has been pretty cold here until last week. She does not seem to have a problem with me and I tend to stay a little late just talking to her in the mornings.
I was watching lost last night, that is when I found out about my friend not watching the Roo. But we text back and forth during Lost. We are both intrigued with it and comment it thru the entire show. Last night they had a fish commerical about McDonald's fish sandwich with a singing fish on the wall. It was the funniest thing, I re winded it and made Mikie come in and watch it, he is now wanting a fish sandwich, it is a double fish sandwich. I was watching the iPhone commercial and am now wanting the ipod touch. I texted Mikie today asking what he wanted for his birthday. He called me and asked what that was all about. I told him what I wanted and told him. He told me to just go and buy it. Yippee...

Pink Says Eye
I thought Zack had pink eye Sunday. I went to my moms house and when I returned it all pink and gooey, it looked pretty bad. That night he couldn't sleep for coughing and gagging. I put him in his bouncy seat and put him beside our bed, he slept pretty good there. Monday I woke up and decided to take him to the doctor. I called and they did not want to see him just called him in some meds for the eye and told me I could give him Children's pseudoephedrine. He had to sleep in his bouncy seat again last night. He was coughing and finally threw up.
Thursday comes up and Christopher's eye looks pink now. I put the drops in his eyes. It took 3 of us to hold him down for that.
My chest has been hurting on and off since Friday. I went to the doctor today and he said I have an infection in a joint in my ribs. That goes along with my cold or rather sinus infection. He gave me some steroids and some 800mg Motrin. Now I'm feeling a little buzzed, but my chest is not hurting as bad now.
Work has been extremely crazy the past 2 months. We are making changes, adding on and starting to hire more people. Still no one to answer the phones yet, I'm staying hopeful on that front.
