This has turned out to be the week of *if one thing goes wrong it all goes wrong*
First the fridge died.. Not an overly huge issue as we do run 2 fridges in the house however when the back one has been acting up for months now, it does make you cringe wondering *how long until that one freezes over again* with the main fridge down, time now is spent waving around options to fix or replace it.. Of course that's if its even fixable.
I am however left wondering why some house members continue to use the dead fridge leaving ron and I to constantly have to move things that need to be cold.. To the fridge that does something other than keep things warm!
Next on our list of *oh gee now what* is the ac/heating unit that has started making this horrid noise and found me sitting in the house of 80* all day yesterday .. Ok why am I complaining about 80*? Because whoever built this house didn't believe in crosswinds and so its 80*'s of no wind heat..we did break down and mess with the unit last night although not fully sure with what is wrong did manage to run it last night per request of others in the house. Personally I think with as cool as its been at night, who needs it than? During the day a slightly different story.
Now we are wondering what is next on the list to go.. After all, things always happen in 3's right?

well i thought i would do some update'n ~

wyatt was home sick today from school.. he only has a small cold but due to a student recently having the (regular) flu they are being a bit more careful on the kids who are in there that arent feeling 100%. apparently the day before he was coughing up a storm so they sent him to the nurse to make sure he didnt have a fever which he didnt so all was good on that end.. but i thought a day home would do him some good.

he has been doing good in his classes, homework has so far been smooth although i dont think im doing it exactly how his teacher would like but with the issues that wyatt has, i think its the best way to do it with him.. like with spelling words .. he will give me the order, i will write them out having him spell them for me and than he will re-write them. his teacher did send home a note saying that she didnt want parents to be doing this but i think with wyatts issues its best to continue to do it my way. even last year i worked more with him when it came to homework than im sure most parents did there children who didnt need that extra bit of help.
for the first time this year he did have speech homework so it was nice to see that, they are currently working on the ending T sound ~

little ron is still going along in high school.. still cant believe that he is already a 10th grader *ack* where is the time going. hes not liking the homework he gets for physical science but seems to be enjoying construction class.. right now they are building a box. apparently they do about 4 or 5 projects during the class and than at the end is there personal project.. the kids decide what they want to build and build it. i think he is highly considering taking construction 2 next year.
other than that he is getting in as much fishing as he can... tomorrow he wants to take his boat out but we shall see.. me im planning on catching up on some much needed sleep!

owen.. my sweet sweet baby owen is toddlen all over the house.. i love his smile so much! he was a little stinker today though and into anything and everything he could get into.. i cant believe he is already 13 and almost 14 months old.. time sure does fly by soo fast!

clyde .. went to the vet *lol* not sure if he was to happy with going but had to get a check up.. hes had a huge dander issue that we wanted checked out and apparently the best for dander.. fish oil so yep now he takes fish oil daily ~ cant believe that at just 9 months he already weighs 95 pounds! only a year and 3 months left of growing and they suspect he will be hitting another growth spirt again soon.

ron is working tonight but as normal with winter coming the season is over and the hours are cut back at his job.. he will be heading back to school in the spring and im soo excited for him to go.. he is finally going to take those photography classes he has been wanting to take.. come hell or high water that man is going to go..

as for me.. well ive just been doing the same old same.. taken care of the family and holding down the fort *lol* i dont think we have a chance this month at being pregnant so im just waiting to move onto the next cycle.. waiting is the worst part about ttc ..

Got a call last night from an old friends wife, said, I hate to bother you
But Johnny Ray fell off the wagon, hed been gone all afternoon
Well, I know my buddy, so I drove to Scullys and found him at the bar
Said, Hey Man, whats goin on, He said, I dont know where to start
Sarah's old car startin to fall apart and the washer quit last week
We had to put Mama in the nursing home and the baby's cuttin teeth

Sounds Like Life To Me
I didnt get much work this week and I got bills to pay
I said, I know this aint what you wanna hear but its what Im gonna say
Sounds like life to me, it aint no fantasy
It just a common case of everyday reality
Man, I know its tough but you gotta suck it up
To hear you talk youre caught up in some tragedy
It sounds like life to me

Well, his face turned red and he shook his head
He said, you dont understand, three kids and a wife depend on me
And Im just one man, top it off we just found out that Sarahs two months late
I said, Hey, bartender, set us up a round, we gotta celebrate
Sounds like life to me, aint no destiny
Yeah, the only thing for certain is uncertainty
You gotta hold on tight, just enjoy the ride
Get used to all this unpredictability, sounds like life
Man, I know its tough but you gotta suck it up
To hear you talk youre caught up in some tragedy
Sounds like life to me (sounds like life to me)
Sounds like life

i swear i think sometimes im going to drive myself insane with ttc..
today has been a horrible day.. i constantly am in worry that we are going to miss that slim chance to get pregnant and no matter how much i dont want to stress it, i just cant help but to do just that...
needless to say this found me today in a ton of tears.. im sure the rainy weather outside wasnt helping my mood much.. just an all around over emotional bad day.
i cant help but keep thinking we dont have the years to put into ttc that we once did.. lets face it .. in another 6-8 years im more likely to be stuck in menopause than to be pregnant.. so its like the clock is going off crazy mad in my head and at the same time its like the same conversation every day.. now is the time for us to go at it like *rabbits* and yet.. that cant happen because of rons work hours and just basic life stuff... and so im left thinking *we didnt even give it our all.. we swore last month we would but yet we havent* and .. argh i just dunno.. its slowly driving me crazy..
yet i cant give up, i wont give up.. i know there is one person missing from our lives, one person we havent even created yet that is going to be here..

i just need to *breath* .. ron woke up and knew i was sad.. so he held me and let me cry.. told me how that me and the boys are the best thing in his life.. and how without us he would be nothing..
truth be told he has been under alot of stress lately as well and us both stressing isnt good.. but we know that together we can do anything and everything and together we will..
i need to learn to have patience and he needs to learn that he is the most awesome'est guy around.. that as much as he says he is soo lucky to have me.. i know how lucky i am to have him.

if it happens this month, it does.. if it dont.. on to next month and hopefully more time to work harder on having our last little one.. our last miricle.. our last pride and joy..

teaching wyatt to cook

wyatt is by far my *wild child* always have been and i believe he always will be.. kind and loving, the first one wanting to snuggle and the one you can actually see his heart break if your crying.. but he is ultimately the one that also keeps you on your toes, the one that you learn over time to never trust when he gets to quiet because if he isnt sleeping and its quiet its a guarantee that he is into something he shouldnt be! he is the one whose name you find yourself saying all day long as well...
but one thing that i have found that he loves to do.. is COOK .. so cooking we do. it started with him helping me cook in the kitchen, he loves just dragging out a cook book and searching to see if we have all the ingrediants to make something from it.
well last night, we decided to have *frozen pizza* for dinner.. so i started with having wyatt get the oven on and showing him which buttons to push as well as having him get the pizza pan ready and than very carefully putting it in the oven.
i dont think i have ever seen a child enjoy frozen pizza so much in my life.. so proud of making it himself! so whats on his dinner menu tonight? can you guess??

yep.. frozen pizza again *lol* and yes he is mr chef again..

one thing about wyatt is you just have to love him.. no matter how some days he makes you want to pull your hair out .. hes just the greatest kid!

September 5th

*argh* I sometimes wonder why when doing things like opks they don't come with a decoder of sorts.. All have been clear negatives until today..
Although at first I thought *close* positive but not quite.. Now I find myself second guessing and just wanting to call it positive..
At least if I do call it positive, at least I know for sure we wont miss O and after all that is what we are aiming for right?
Other than my brain going *argh* today has been pretty good.
Mother took the boys down to the water to swim.. Owen loves going down there, crawling around and playing in the water.. He's such the water boy! Wyatt at first didn't want to go but quickly changed his mind.. And I'm sure is having the most fun too. Little ron, well he took his boat out to ride around.. He LOVES taking his boat out! Although he did get caught up in a gill net *grr* that was a total of about 30 minutes of drama.. But he got out and now all is good.
As for me.. I'm taking advantage of 3 minutes of quiet and fixing to start getting stuff ready to wake ron up for work.
Tonight is another 12 hour shift for him *grr* but tomorrow is only an 8 hour shift and after that who knows because the end of the season is here.. Only time will tell ~

September 2nd 2009

Well I suppose I have earned myself the nickname *slacker* when it comes to updating my blog.
Well we are now well into week 2 of school for my bigger guys.
Little ron seems to be enjoying being in 10th grade although it maybe the count down to how many more years he had in school making him smile.
Wyatt seems to like his teacher this year, is busy making new friends and talking to old ones. He has also started his special education classes and seems to be enjoying them.
Rons still working a ton of over time but that should almost come to a dead stop after this weekend.. I swear seasonal work sites suck!
Owen is growing like a weed and doing so much more each day. I love to watch him.. He is now walking all over the house like he has been doing it forever!
As for ttc.. Well we are on month 3 of temping and have added in opks .. This is a first for me but I figured why not give it a try..kwim?
My *sister* (and I'm using that term loosely) is back to her games. This time talking trash about little ron. I'm used to her trashing me and ron.. But do NOT trash my kids!
Needless to say I've decided I'm done .. Done with the drama, done dealing with her.. Just done!
I guess that's pretty much it for now.
