i will not be responsible for my actions..

so i finally get to find my way to the bed last night.. i knew it was going to be a late night as Owen had napped much to late in the day but he was sleeping so good in his new big boy bed i couldnt just walk in and wake him up. of course if it got way to late i would have woken him up but we were good so i just waited it out a bit.
once i got owen to bed and wyatt to bed and than little ron moved to his bed, i took a few mom minutes and relaxed from the day before heading off to my bed. visited a few message boards i havent in a long time.. not that i was missed from them but thats okay, i didnt expect to be, i was never a huge poster at one and the other i hadnt been for a very long time.
anyways.. i finally get to bed and drift off to lala land only to have owen wake me up at some horrid hour in the morning .. somewhere between 2am and 3am.. so i tucked him in bed next to me only to feel him crawling over my head a few minutes later, apparently he wanted the middle last night, i wasnt going to argue, after all i was half asleep..
come to find out the reason for his early morning wake up.. the early morning wake up of the child who was sleeping oh so well in his new big boy bed when i went to sleep ... CLYDE!
apparently my 4 legged love, decided that he was tried of sleeping on his puppy bed and decided that the new big boy bed was just the right size for his butt. so he went ahead and nosed owen awake so that owen would come to our bed and than climbed his furry butt into owens big boy bed..
oh my sweet clyde who i love so much.. this isnt going to work, you see this is OWENS bed.. not clydes and if you do this again i will not be responsible for my actions.
so please stay on your puppy bed and leave his big boy bed alone.

is it bedtime yet?

*argh* im beyond ready for bed.. but something tells me due to owens late nap, he is no where near ready to crawl up into his bed.. figures huh? the nights your oh so tired, the kiddos have different plans.
at least everyone is showered and/or had a bath, had their small bowl of ice cream and are now laying down resting and hopefully will drift off to lala land soon.. well all but owen who is still making his rounds.
he seems to love his new big boy bed which is a good thing, however he didnt make it all night in it last night. i had a feeling he wouldnt though, it was pretty late (for him) when he got home and he was so busy with the excitement of being home that he didnt really get into the whole bed thing. i mainly was just trying to make sure he knew there was a big boy bed where his crib used to be because i was afraid he would try to stand up on me in the middle of the night and end up busting his head. today however, it was the best thing since sliced bread! he was all about his bed and even showing it off to whomever would come check it out. nap wise he did awesome in it and wasnt in a hurry to get out of it when he woke up.. he just kinda laid there and chilled for a few minutes.
ive also learned today that my owen is addicted to white chocolate.. ever try to break apart white chocolate easter bunnies so that he can have bits his size?
tomorrow is a busy day.. a trip to the hundred dollar store and of course my clydes vet appointment. still hoping that it ends up being something small and easy to take care of. but i suppose we will find out tomorrow what the mystery rash is.
well its looking like my owen wants to snuggle now.. so off to lala land he shall go .. i hope!

after midnight..

and im fixing to head off to lala land ~
tonight is Owens first night in his big boy bed so lets hope he likes it...
mother brought him and wyatt home tonight at the normal time which was fine, but why did she agree to store my crib for me and than toss a small fit about *how big it is* when in reality its the same size as any other crib. she even went on and on about *how it wouldnt fit where she was going to put it* and how *little rons crib was so much smaller*
first of all.. little rons crib was bigger not smaller (it converted to a single bed this one does not) and this one is no different size wise than any other crib on the market..
finally i just tossed my hands in the air and told her if it was that huge of a problem now i would just go get it later this week and shove the damn thing in storage. to which she responded *oh no we dont want it to get ruined being wood and all* well gee mom thats why i asked you to store it in your house for me but damn i dont want to put you out. hell she has plenty of room to stick it away where it will be out of sight from the world around her..
it just kind of ticks me off that she would start off bitching and complaining knowing i have to get it out of this house or the old religious one will try to snag it for the church and i really dont want to get into that whole argument with her that we are trying for baby number 4.. after all we all know how thrilled she was with babies 2 and 3.. im sure baby 4 will cause her major chest pains!!
than leave it to my mother to make a comment *well i know you wont be trying much longer but we dont want to get rid of it just incase*
um okay..
first of all there is no *we* in this when it comes to you and i, i have a lifetime of trying to figure out whey she feels that her and i are the same person and sometimes it drives me nuts when she starts her *we* stuff.. just as i dont need to know how *we* are going to pay one of her bills and *we* dont have my friends coming to visit *us* yet she seems to think that when they do its one of her *we* things..
secondly.. only ron and i will decided when we are ready to stop ttc.. if i want to keep it going until im 85 years old (yes i know impossible) thats up to US .. i know how old i am.. i know how old my husband is.. but despite what she or anyone thinks its our choice to try or not..
i just hate it when people think they have control over my ttc.. hell i dont even have control over having a baby im going to be damned if im going to allow anyone else (other than ron of course) have a say in what we are deciding to do. my other favorite statement from tonight from her is...
*well now that you dont have room for a crib since you put up the toddler bed, maybe you will get pregnant sooner* uh lady, it takes 9 months to *grow* a baby.. and on top of that have no fear .. regardless of what room we have things will be rearranged and there will be plenty of room for me to put a crib up if im so lucky as to see that bfp!

some days i just want to bash my head against the wall ~

Ron made it home a little after 2pm today and laid down for a while.. hes up now so it looks like another night of sleeping alone maybe? or maybe he will come back to bed after he is up for a bit ..
no huge plans for tomorrow (aka today) and than finally tues.. clydes vet day!

happy fluffy bunny day!!

last night *little* ron and i put together owens new big boy (toddler) bed, its sometimes hard for me to swallow that he is getting so big so fast.. but i think he will love his new bed.
one thing i learned when doing these projects, is its easy to get your 16 year old undies in a bunch when he is helping you.. but how could you help but not laugh when working on the worst part of the bed and your love'n clyde wants some attention so he proceeds to be oh so helpful and get right in the thick of things *hahaha*
all in all it was good fun.. lots of laughing and even some wanting to scream.. i dunno who manufactures these things but they really need to rethink how they do. but we got it together and the crib taken down.
ive been bathing clyde daily per vet orders until our appointment on tues. im really concerned about his mysterious rash and wondering what is causing it, i guess we need to stop google'n and what not and just wait it out until tues.
thankfully he dont seem to be to upset over it, hes not scratching and dont seem to be bothered by it at all. so thats a good thing!
of course this morning the fluffy bunny visited, and left 3 nicely filled easter baskets for the boys.. wyatt and owen will get theres later tonight when they get home from mothers house .. but easter has never been a big deal for us.
we arent the religious type and other than a visit from the fluffy bunny our day is spent doing the normal lazy hazy sunday things..

irritated by stupid people

okay so the powers that be called and told ron he didnt have to leave town last night *woohoo* but of course tonight (for just tonight) he has to, cool we can do that although i still think its a waste of gas, its do'able.. so than ron informs me that he has to come home sunday and go straight to bed because the powers that be want him somewhere sunday night as well (this means a few hour nap before being gone another 8 hours) im not happy about this but i guess if he says he can do it, he can do it right?
so i dont say much of nothing, just some silent cussing to myself (after all the powers that be arent doing anything why cant one of them take the 8 local hours oh yeah they are the powers that be that right *rolls eyes*)...
so than he wakes me up as he climbs into bed for a few hour nap before he has to leave and is venting at me about now his night will last longer than normal but he dont have to do the sunday night gig for the powers that be..
do what huh?
okay so basically..
the place he is going is closed on easter sunday and so they wont be back until monday morning at 9am.. now while the old guy is his relief, he just cant miss easter sunday at church now can he??
so he isnt going to relieve him until about 4pm sunday night..
so let me get this right, you have to be up no later than 5pm to be there by 8pm to hang out in an empty parking lot until 4pm tomorrow if the old guy gets there by than (which i doubt seeing as he wont get out of church until at least 1pm and than get his stuff loaded than the 2 hour drive)..
am i getting this right?
so now my hubba is going to be up for 23 hours straight plus 2 hours drive time puts it at 25 hours straight are you nuts??
of course when i point out the basic math of things i hear from the old religious one that *the old guy is pulling just as many hours as ron is* uh excuse me.. lets do the math..
old guy is going to be up at 1pm to go in (i will not count his choice church thing) than he gets off at 9am monday morning.. 20 hours .. 22 hours if he chooses to drive home that morning or is he staying up there? if so its just 20 hours.

now i will admit the old guy is much older .. but lets add in the kicker of the whole damn thing..

the old guy is the one who agreed to these hours!! when i said *well the powers that be need to put someone else in there to help cover that mid shift, they need to have ron out of there at 9am and than the old guy not there till 8pm (leaving with time for driving there)*.. and i get told *well they asked the old guy if they wanted someone else of if they wanted the hours!!
and he said *yess* omg are you flipping serious? he agreed to this? it was his choice?? and he said *yeah we want them without even talking to the one who is going to be shoved there longer? and without being able to prepare himself for so many hours up in a row?*
yeah im pissed..
im just hoping that ron will stop and get a quick nap before he leaves out of there tomorrow.. but with the fact he bought 4 5hr energys im not holding my breath on him not pushing it home...

argh.. why do people have to be so stupid? and why does the person who you are bitching at about it throw up at you that this is the same thing the old guy is doing.. not take credit to the fact that HE ASKED FOR IT where as my hubba didnt, my hubba said *why dont so and so take the middle?* yeah whatever lady.. he wants to kill himself thats fine but id rather my dh didnt..
of course leave it to her to ask my husband what he wants for easter dinner, he gives ideas and of course has to say *dont bother i wont be here anyway* yeah because of the old guy..
grr grr grr bitch bitch bitch
oh and it took everything in me not to smack her when she gave me an attitude and told me *well he could tell them no* and left it at that, yeah who they gonna call than? the old guy and there goes your precious church service with him all together.. stupid religious lady!!!

well i get to keep my hubba one more night *smiles*

the powers that be called him today and told him to call before he headed out the door and when he did, he was told that he only has to leave town for tomorrow night. so yep no sleeping alone in my bed tonight *woohoo*
in other news our clyde has gotten a mystery rash *insert sad face* .. not sure what it is or how he got it, called the vet today and they will see him on tuseday until than its daily baths for clyde (per vets orders) so im fixing to get to that in just a few minutes. luckly he dont seem to be in any discomfort and he isnt itching.. i just hope it ends up being much of nothing.. poor puppy though.
went and picked up Owens big boy bed tonight, plus a new mattress maybe now he will want to spend more time in his bed. on my to-do list tomorrow is to take down the crib and get it ready for storage and put up his big boy bed .. fun! i cant wait until he sees his new bed, lets just hope he loves it.. and lets hope that clyde dont look at it as an open invitation to sleep in owens bed *lol* although im sure owen wouldnt mind one bit, he loves his clyde!
we also picked up a few puppy toys for chris's puppy and dropped them off to him on our way home. Wyatt got to see her for the first time and i think she really likes the little things we had for her. ah what can i say? im a sucker for babies.. 2 legged or 4!

today was my nephew brandons 16th birthday!! Happy Birthday Brandon.. hope you had an awesome day hun!
well i suppose its time to snuggle my hubba for a few minutes and than hit the showers with my clyde and get his friday night bath done before the night runs away from me and it turns into Saturday.

looks like im packing him up.. again

ron went to get two new tires for the front of the van and called me to tell me that he got a call from the powers that be, that they need him to go out of town yet again. so now i have to get him packed up, the van loaded up and him ready to go by tomorrow afternoon.. i am beginning to wonder if this will ever end. i mean come on people here we are week 2 that he shouldnt be leaving and of course he is leaving.
on the positive side, at least he is only going for 2 days (1 night) and will be home sometime on sunday. the poor guy once he gets rested again, hes back at long late nights and little sleep. it just sucks!
in other news..
wyatt had his class easter egg hunt today! seems to have been a great day for it to.. the sun is shining and enough days have gone by since our last rain to absorb most all of the water on the ground. even our puddles in the low areas are beginning to look more like land and less like swamp land. of course ive probably just jinxed myself and will be seeing cloudy skies and thunderstorms now even though the weather man is still saying nothing but sunshine heading our way.
wyatt also had a pizza party at school today for their spring celebration. you know im not a religious person at all but damn it why cant they just say Easter? im not offended why should anyone else be? i dont think of easter in the religious sense.. i know its supposed to be all about god but i prefer to make it all about the bunny.. but it works for us and how we live. why cant others just look at it the same way? sure some will have that religious aspect of it but for those of us that dont.. make it all about the bunny!
little ron came home and went to his room.. i suspect he will be riding with the wildabeast to uncle chris's house.. chris called earlier and said that he needed some part that he didnt have (he borrowed some part off of little rons engine) now dont start thinking i can give specifics about engines and parts because i havent got a clue and no desire to learn either but all i know is they are supposed to run something to him and i know little ron will want to ride with because after all he is dying to see uncle chris's tootsie girl! but he still has to bring her by because i have one more boy that wants to meet his girl and i know one wildabeast who wont offer him to ride with because he dont like wyatt *sad face*

tomorrow is the last day of school for the boys .. monday kicks off spring break!! i hope the weather stays nice for us all so that when ron is home and around, we can maybe go do something..
