Stupid Computer!!
I think our computer is finally on it's last leg! But we have gotten lots of good use out of it so I can't complain too much. It is the computer Brad and I bought after we got married. Not right after but you know what I mean, it's been a long time! We've been looking at laptops and are going to have to buy one soon. Until then, sometimes I can get on the computer, sometimes I can't.
The weather today has been horrible. I don't think it has quit raining. We were up early this morning, like always. Ryan woke up at 6:30 but Brad made him stay in bed. He did eventually fall back asleep, until 7:30. I have been wanting to go to a Hobby Lobby that opened uo by the mall so we decided to make a morning of it. We did a little shopping, ate at Logans (for the bread!!) and got a few things at Walmart then headed home. Ryan started running a fever while we were out. You could tell he just didn't feel good. I am sure he caught whatever Hannah had. She is better, BTW. He kept saying he was going to throw up while we were in walmart. We had just got done eating lunch so I knew it would be a juicy one if he did! I got a big baggie from one of their cleaning stations and told him if he needed to throw up he had to do it in there! He never did. We had to take a potty break towards the end of the trip and when Hannah and I went into the bathroom there was a mom holding her screaming son. He was soaking wet and red all over. He was around Ryan's age. Everyone kept walking by looking at her but no one offered her any help so after Hannah came out of the stall and was ready to wash her hands I asked the mom if she needed help with anything. She said that he had sprayed LYSOL in his eyes and she was trying to flush them out. I asked her if she had called the number on the can and she said she did. I guess they told her to flush them out for like 20 minutes. Try doing that with a screaming 2 yr old in a walmart bathroom!! She asked me if I could hold his legs. She had him laying on the little ledge above the sinks and was using his sippy cup to get water and dump it in his eyes. She also said she is a nurse so I felt a little better. She was sooooo calm. I would have been crying like crazy if that was my son!! I was tearing up while I was standing there holding his little legs, listening to him scream and seeing how big and swollen his eyes were. By this time there were like 3 walmart people in there staring at us and hannah was standing there seeing all this so I asked one of the ladies if they could hold his legs so Hannah and I could go. I felt bad leaving but Brad and Ryan were waiting on us and I knew Ryan wasn't feeling good. I was a little shaken up after that. The poor guy. Anyway, so we went home and hung out for the rest of the evening. I had to go up to the church to make copies for SS and do some last minute stuff but other than that, we didn't do much this evening. Now I am about ready for bed. Thanks for listening and say a prayer for that little boy. I bet his eyes are going to be hurting for awhile.

Long day....
Today was a terribly long day! Hannah has been having a fever off and on since Monday. She has also been complaining of a headache a lot since then and yesterday she cried because her stomach was hurting so bad. So this morning when she woke up with a temp of 102.8, I called the dr. (I told her first thing that if she stayed home, there was going to be no playing or going outside because if you are too sick to be at school, you are too sick to play.) Of course they said to bring her in but I already knew what was going to happen. THey do it to me all the time. They told me she has a virus (duh!!) and that if she still is having a fever over the next couple of days, to bring her back in. We were in the dr office almost 2 hours just for them to say that. I had Ryan with us too and he was being a nightmare, like always. He kept trying to sit on the dr stool (circle seat with the wheels), open the cabinet doors, rip the white paper that lays over the exam table. So I made him sit in a chair next to me. He screamed the entire time "I want down", "I want to go home" and he kept getting down so I had to keep puting him back in the chair, which only made the screaming worse. And spankings didn't help. It is so hard to be consistent and not just give in when he is acting like that. But I didn't, and I never do. When is he going to learn that screaming and continually disobeying won't help?! It didn't take Hannah that long!! So that was a very long and hard visit. By the time we left there it was time to eat so we went thru the drive thru at McD's and taco Bell (for me of course) and went home to eat. Neither one of them ate very good. Hannah wanted to put her food in the frig and go to bed. That was fine with me. So I put Ryan down shortly after that. But he never went to sleep. I went in there multiple times and put him back in bed but after 2 hours I let him get up. I was ready to wake Hannah up so I knew he would not be able to stay in there any longer. He continued his mean-ness for the rest of the afternoon too. He kept hitting Hannah or taking her pillows (she had a bed made on the couch) or just doing things out of pure spite. So I eventually made him go to bed again. He did go to sleep after awhile that time. When I went in to wake him up before supper his pull up was on inside out! The goofy kid took it off for some reason and put it back on inside out! I just can't help but laugh! At least he put it back on, even if the wet side was out! So, I'll have to do another load of laundry in the morning!! After we ate we went outside so Ryan could burn off some of that bad energy! Daddy worked late, like every day this week. Then it was bath time and bed time!
On a good note, I discovered Hannah has two loose teeth!! The two middle incisors on the bottom. They are both very wiggly. I noticed while I was brushing her teeth this morning. At first I kinda freaked out. I asked her if she got hit in the head with something. She said "I don't think so". Then it hit me! This is all normal! She is constantly pressing her tongue against them. I pulled on them with a tissue once but they aren't quite ready! I have been debating on whether to mention the tooth fairy or not. I think I am going to because we don't do the easter bunny, Santa or any of the other things like that. I guess we can at least do the tooth fairy! I just can't believe it is time for her to loose baby teeth. That is just one more thing that makes me realize she isn't a baby anymore.....I am sad but I am proud of her! Well, I think that is all for now. I sure hope tomorrow goes better thant oday!

It's been a long time!
I know I haven't written in awhile. By the end of the day I am too tired to even think about blogging! A week or 2 ago I got so irritated with the clutter in our house that I started cleaning stuff out and throwing junk away or sending it to goodwill! I started with the pantry and kitchen while Brad was out of town at the end of August. That went well and pretty quick. But then I made the mistake of trying to fix every room at the same time!! So I have been trying to get the livingroom, playroom, my closet and bedroom de-cluttered and reorganized. Ryan keeps me from getting a lot done during the day because I can't leave him alone without him getting into trouble. I was getting very frustrated with it when my wonderful sister reminded me that he needs me and I need to forget about the house and focus more on him again. So Friday I didn't do anything major around the house. We played together and had a very good day. Then Brad was up all night with stomach issues and has been having the "D" word (as my mom calls it)! So he's been laying around and feeling lousy but I think things are on the way back up for him. He has been able to eat a few things this afternoon. Tonight is our church weiner roast/ice cream social. I have been looking forward ot it. I made dirt pudding, complete with worms!! I can't wait to eat it! It should be a good time. Well, I have to get going so I can get us all ready to go!

Good bye 25, hello 26!!
Happy Birthday to me!!
I am officially closer to 30 than 20. I am not sure what I think about it yet. My life has been great thus far and I know God isn't done with his perfect will for my life yet. And I also realized that I have been in WV for half of my life now. It seems weird to think that I haven't always lived here. In the beginning, I could never understand why God sent us to WV and now I can't think of a reason to leave!! Well, my parents leaving is a good reason to me to leave but not really (if ya know what I mean)! I am just more and more amazed every day at how God works and how he had my life all figured out before I was even born!! A lot of times I just don't understand but then when I look back I say "He really knew what he was doing that whole time, didn't he?!" I can't wait to see what He has in store for the rest of my life. I know it is only good things.

what a day....
Today has been a long day! Ryan begged me all morning to go out and ride his bike. That is no different than any day. So finally I gave up and we went outside. We bought him a helmet/pads combo for when we go camping this weekend. We always take the kids' bikes and last time he wiped out majorly so we said no more crazy hills until we get a helmet!! So anyway, he was dying to wear his new helmet and pads! So I decided since he had on all his gear we would go on a walk instead of just letting him ride up and down our street/driveway. I hooked 2 dog leashes together and then hooked it to his bike so he would have no chance of taking off without me or getting too far away from me. You might be saying to yourself "Ryan, do something like that? No way, he's so sweet!" WRONG!!! He's got a bad side! It was fun for a change, even though I ended up jogging most of the way.
He also has major snot drainage right now!! That is a chore in itself! I found out that a boy who goes to our church and is in the nursery with Ryan has the swine flu. I don't know much about it but I look for my kids to come down with it soon. If not from him, from someone at school or something. His name is Micah, say a prayer for him please, and for his mom!
It seems like every time I have left Ryan a lone today he has been caught getting into trouble! Once I found him in the pantry eating gum from a gumball machine of Hannah's. Once I found him eating Certs out of the junk drawer. I can't even remember what else he has gotten into today but I know there is more! If we aren't outside and I am not entertaining him, he is getting into trouble. But I have to do some work sometimes!
Then when Hannah got home from school the first thing she was instructed to do was clean her room! I've already mentioned before that it takes her FOREVER to clean her room! So I had to stay on her about that and I finally set a timer for 15 min and told her if it wasn't done by then she wouldn't be going outside to play tonight. Well, she didn't get it done so......we were stuck inside all evening. She is usually pretty whiny and grouchy after being at school all day. It really wears her out. So I had to listen to her and Ryan fight while I, once again, tried to get some work done!
They were in bed around 7:35 or so and now here I am! Getting ready for bed myself! I'm glad the day is over and I'll be ready to start fresh tomorrow! Hopefully I won't forget to send Hannah's folder to school tomorrow!
BTW, I'm not loving the whole kindergarten thing. I feel sooooo out of the loop this year. Last year I talked to the teacher every single day, she was very personable, she answered questions, I knew their schedule, I stayed in the room sometimes, I knew all the other kids, I just knew what was going on. This year I don't even see the teacher. When I drop her off in the morning she isn't allowed in the room. All the kids sit in the hall until it is time for school. After school we aren't allowed in the building. The kids come out to us. We communicate via folder!! All I know is what Hannah tells me or what is inside that folder. It's just annoying. I have heard the same sort of things from other parents too. Well, I am done for now.
