Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Turkey day to everyone. We are in isolation due to Julianna having atypical pneumonia. I spent 2 hours at the car dealship in the morning with all my kids then off to the doc for another 2 hours where I found out that Julianna is highly contagious and I had her out in public the last 2 days. She has been running around and acting like her crazy self just had a cough on Tuesday. Well by that night it turned into coughing fits that lead to puking! Luckily I have avoided the playgroups but I did let her play at the Avenues. Luckily I have a great friend who is going to bring us our dinner so we can stay home and let the antiobiotics do their wonders! I also convinced the doc to put Matty on the antiobiotics since he has the runny nose and cough, so in attempts to prevent it getting worse. I am normally an avoid antiobiotics unless necessary but not when it comes to a baby. I would rather avoid him getting any sicker than this cold.
So we are going to avoid my grandma which kinda sucks since I really did want to see her. We will probably go down after Erik gets home which should be in 2 weeks now!! Crazy, I cannot wait!
Have a great day!

nothing new

Just wanted to let Lesley know I am still alive. We are busy as always. The closer it gets to Erik being home the more insane the children are acting. Plus I hit the deployment jackpot of taking the cars to get repaired and they break them more while they have them Seriously I had the tranny worked on the coolmaro and then it ran like sh@t Kevin figured it out and now it is fine, I swear if he wasn't here I would be going completely insane. Then I took the van in to get fixed since the door wasn't working as a manual but worked as an automatic, well I picked it up and now it doesn't work at all. So supposively they had to order another part. GRRRRRRRR
On a lighter note Matthew had now found his penis so the second his diaper is off he plays with it while scratching his butt. My daily amusement!
My newest AJism would be a trip to Walmart she found some socks with Santa on them and came up to me and said "Santa says (she made her voice deep) HAPPY HALLOWEEN!" Wow that kid cracks me up.
Well I guess we are going to head to Ft Meyers for Thanksgiving to see my aunt, uncle and grandma who hasn't been well. We are only staying the one night which is probably better. My aunt can kinda drive me insane, she is brain damaged so it isn't her fault. Plus 4 kids is pretty intimidating for anyone to have in their home for very long!! It just sucks since the kids are off school Wed through Monday (they have Monday off (the big ones, Julianna still has school go fig). I am going to go f#$(ing nuts having to entertain them for 5 whole days. Only because Erik will be home the following week! The next break they have Erik will be on leave for more than half of it so I won't be so insane!!
Well off to a screaming baby, always something...

My 97th percentile children

So it was Julianna's 2 year well child checkup and Matthews 4 month well child. So Matthew got 3 shots and he is sore but seems to be in a pleasent mood otherwise. Well here are their stats. Julianna 35#, 35.5" and Matthew 18# 27"! So they are in the 97th percentile in everything. My big babies.
Well that is all to update for now. Just hoping the four month shots work the same as the 2 month ones and he sleeps 10 hours for me tonight!! Here's to hoping.

Julianna is 2!!

So my baby is 2 today. We had a nice day, I woke up ungodly early the norm for me anymore. I got the house tidied up since Matthew has decided that mommy is the only one who can hold him anymore. Well he was fine at the party today but heaven forbid I try and get some chores done. We had a couple of friends cover so there were 15 children here total with mine. I saw a couple of friends I hadn't seen in forever and had a nice little visit, I kinda hate parties for that since you don't get to just hang out well at least when you are the hostess. Stacy bought her bounce house so the kids had fun in that and then just playing in the backyard since it was a BEAUTIFUL 75ish day here. Kevin grilled the burgers to prefection and the ice cream cake was YUMMY, chocolate therapy and chocolate chip cookie dough from Ben and Jerrys. Julianna got a baby doll, a phone, a book, a care bear, and the jackpot was a ATV power wheel from Erik and I. She tore up the backyard with that thing, running into everything and laughing hysterically about it!
Well now the day is winding down and I need to get the kids off to bed. I need to get as much rest as possible Kevin is going out of town to West Palm Beach for the week so I am going to be a single mom this whole week with no chance of being able to be rescued. I am getting used to it he has been out of town 6 of the last 8 weeks. With Julianna and Matthew being so young I truely love my brother being here. I will make it thru this week just less then 4 weeks and Erik will be home and I won't have to be alone anymore.

Supposively a month...

P-3 Navy is different and are pretty good with dates so Erik should be home a month from today. I hate hate HATE the last month it just seems to drag and the kids seem to behave worse. Now AJ has caught on to the whole I can be bad and then just say I miss my Daddy to try and get out of it. What is horrible is I am getting so tired of being alone I just don't even want to deal with them. I am but I know I have been letting them walk on me. Part of my feeling down I just stop caring about everything. In about 2-3 weeks when the real countdown is on then I will get all excited and my mood will be different but right now I could care less about my house, the kids, and school. Which I only have 2 more assignments and a test and I will be done for this semester. Next semester I am taking 4 classes God help me.
I have been feeling antisocial and isolated. I really haven't been talking to anyone. I haven't seen or heard from Stacy since Halloween. I sent out an email to about 5 people inviting them over for Julianna's bday next Sat and no one has replied. I just want her to have a few more people than her siblings to sing her happy birthday.
Julianna had a concussion from flying off of a tire swing last week. I got to feel like mom of the year when I didnt put her hitting her head and throwing up an hour later together until 6am when I realized she had been sleeping for 12 hours and it took me a full hour to get her to wake up. That was a scary morning of course by 11 when we finally saw a doc in the ER she was acting fine. She did great for her CAT scan and nothing was there and I got the whole if she throws up after hitting her head please bring her here right away. 6 hours in the ER with Julianna and Matthew was GREAT fun. They were actually pretty good it was just a LONG morning.
It looks like we are going to have to get Erik a new car. The camaro is just falling apart the drivers side door broke so now you cannot get out of the car from the inside without rolling down the windows and reaching out (the passanger side was broke when we got it). The motor only has 30,000 miles on it so we will try and sell it for that or at least pull out the motor and put it on the engine stand in the garage. I am just trying to figure out how we will afford 2 car payments, we will make it work, we always do.
Well another day of getting kids off to school.

Halloween sucks

Can I just tell you that I must be a little down. Yesterday was just CHOATIC. Not like my normal choais of having 4 kids and both Kevin and Erik gone so I am alone. It was like I want to cry choatic. So Mikaela was supposed to go trick or treating with her friend Zoe well around 5 I still haven't heard from O'Neal (Zoes mom) so we call her. I have Avery so Stacy is kinda looking for me. Well O'Neal was just getting off work and had to run and get a costume for her youngest son and then get the kids from daycare. I knew that would be a min of an hour so I told O'Neal I need to call Stacy and ask her what to do with Avery. If I wouldn't have had Avery I would have went with O'Neal but to go to base and then backtrack plus Stacy would've had no one to go with her seeing as Gary had surgery and Gary's dad handed out candy. So anyhow as soon as I call Stacy all hell breaks lose AJ and Avery kept going at it. Julianna refused to wear her orange shirt and was screaming, so she wore Mikaela's voilet (from the incredibles) shirt. Mikaela was throwing a fit since she wasn't getting to go with Zoe. Matthew was getting upset from everything. Then Kevin calls and Erik is on the puter. I say by to Erik and keep talking to Kevin seeing as it was the only way I wasn't going to blow up at the kids. I get everyone in the car and head to base with full intent of calling O'Neal. Well I grab dinner and get to Stacys I eat in about 3 min and all the kids bust out of the house and just head down the street. So I quick take off with Stacy to chase the kids it is about 5:45 at this time. Well Mikaela had went off with some friends she has on base. So all was good. Stacy and I had fun chasing 7 kids under 6 in the dark. They did pretty good there were only a couple of times we got really frustrated. We got back around 7:30 (that was only going about 3 blocks). Then Mikaela got back about 20 min later. Then I ran Stacy up to her van (it broke and was at the shop) to get Garys pain meds. Finally I headed home at 8:15 and Julianna and Matthew screamed the whole way. Julianna finally passed out about 2 blocks from home and woke up as soon as we got in the driveway. I got the big girls in bed and just sat down I felt so drained. Julianna kept getting into the candy so I finally went to bed and just took Julianna with me. She fought sleep for forever and Matthew just wanted to sleep on the boob. I finally got Matthew in his bassinet and PASSED out. He ended up back in bed with me at 3am, but 10-3 was nice. I finally checked the phone O'Neal called at 6pm last night so I had Mikaela call back this morning a leave a message saying sorry. I feel horrible for not calling her. Oh well only one more holiday to survive alone. I am really over it. Halloween hasn't been fun in years. Of the 8 years Erik has been in the Navy he has been home for 3 and one of them he got home that day. I have never been a huge fan and I feel horrible since my kids are so excited and I just never really get into it. I think having to do it alone is the other thing. Only another month but I know it will feel like forever then it is never a big deal when it is over.
Julianna is completely potty trained now so now I have a bunch of diapers to save for Matthew at least I was getting Julianna Cars pullups! I also somewhere in my pea brain thought that it was a good idea to get a kitten. She is great with the kids but hates the dogs. Hopefully that works itself out. The girls got their reports cards they did great so no complaints there. Well I am off to get some chores done before running the kitty to the vet.
