THEY WERE SO BAD TODAY. THEY EVEN BROKE DANIEL'S REMOTE CONTROL CAR. DANIEL WAS SO UPSET. THESE 2 GIRLS DROVE ME NUTS TODAY. OF COURSE WITH REBECCA GETTING ME UP AT 4AM THIS MORNING, THAT DIDN'T HELP MY ENERGY LEVEL AT ALL. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. I CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHY SHE KEEPS GETTING UP 2 TO 3 TIMES A NIGHT. IT'S REALLY GETTING ON MY NERVES. I WALK AROUND LIKE A ZOMBIE IN A DAZE. THIS MORNING I DRANK A WHOLE PINT OF ORANGE JUICE, AND 3 HUGE MUGS OF COFFEE, IT DID NOTHING FOR MY ENERGY LEVEL. I CAN'T WAIT FOR SCHOOL TO START, SO I CAN NAP DURING THE DAY, LOL. BEING A 46YR OLD MOM OF A HYPER 5YR OLD IS NO FUN. PEOPLE SAY TAKE HER TO THE DOCTORS THEY HAVE MEDICINE FOR HYPER ACTIVE KIDS. SORRY BUT UNLESS SHE HAS A FEVER OR A COLD, SHE IS GETTING NO MEDICINE. I HAVE HEARD FROM NUMEROUS PEOPLE WHO'S KIDS ARE ON THAT SAY THEIR KIDS SUFFERED LIVER AND KIDNEY PROBLEMS ON THAT MEDICINE. SO NO WAY IS REBECCA GETTING IT.
IT TOOK 2 SHOPPING CARTS FOR THE FOOD YESTERDAY. MY VAN WAS STUFFED. I FILLED EMMAS FREEZER AND FRIDGE. SHE CANNOT GO SHOPPING UNTIL AFTER SUNDAY CAUSE THERE'S NO ROOM IN HER FRIDGE, LOL. TOMORROW I WILL GO OVER HER HOUSE IN THE MORNING AND START COOKING. MAKING THE POTATO SALAD, FRUIT SALAD, DEVILED EGGS, HOMEMADE BAKED BEANS, SALAD. IT TOOK 4 GROCERY STORES BUT TODAY I FINALLY FOUND KIWI FOR MY FRUIT SALAD. ALSO FOUND THE DRESSING FOR MY PASTA SALAD. I AM MAKING IT WITH MULTICOLORED CHEESE TORTELLINI, OLIVES, RED ONION, CARROT SLIVERS, AND A BALSAMIC VINEGRETTE DRESSING. SUNDAY I'LL BE COOKING THE MEATS. 50 CHICKEN LEGS, 40 BURGERS AND 30 HOTDOGS. MY TOTAL AMOUNT SPENT YESTERDAY AND TODAY FOR THIS BABYSHOWER, NOT INCLUDING THE COST OF INVITATIONS AND POSTAGE THAT WERE 97.00, JUST FOOD AND GIFTS $383.00. I HEARD TODAY 7 MORE PEOPLE AREN'T COMING. I SWEAR IF THIS SHOWER IS NOT A HAPPY ONE FOR EMMA, I AM GOING TO BE SO PISSED OFF. I AM SO GLAD THIS IS HER LAST BABY, LOL. PAPERS HAVE BEEN SIGNED AND ARE IN HER FOLDER TO GET TUBES CUT, TIED AND BURNED.
OK, I NEED TO CLEAN UP MY APARTMENT. I HAVE LET IT GO THE PAST COUPLE DAYS AND IT LOOKS LIKE A HURRICANE HAS GONE THROUGH IT. MY KITCHEN IS A DISASTER, BATHROOM IS TOTALLY GROSS. I HAVE NO ENERGY AND COULD PROBABLY FALL ASLEEP STANDING UP, BUT I HAVE TO GET IT DONE.
GOT 2 THANK YOU'S TO MAKE.
ONE TO ANGIE FOR THE BEAUTIFUL POSTCARD SHE SENT REBECCA WHILE ON HER VACATION TO MICHIGAN, AND THE OTHER TO LISA41076 FOR THE SUNFLOWER SEEDS I RECEIVED IN THE MAIL TODAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH LADIES.
WELL, I'D BETTER GET MY BUTT UP AND GET BUSY. HAVE A NICE EVENING ALL. WILL HAVE MORE PICTURES TOMORROW OF ALL THE FOOD I PREPARED.
LOVE YOU ALL.....................CINDY

Wow you sure have a lot of stuff for the baby. Love all those shoes, I loved buying little girls shoes. (actually I still love buying shoes for a grown girl) Have fun at your shower, I am sure it will be a special day for emma.
ReplyDeleteMichelle

ReplyDeleteMissie
That baby will have a lot to welcome her! So much pretty stuff! :)
ReplyDeleteThat food sounds great, anyone having you in their lives are very lucky!

I love that crib. She sure has alot of cute stuff already. You need help cooking! That's a lot of food to prepare and set up! I hope your getting some help.
ReplyDeleteHope Rebecca sleeps better, you know I had problems with my daughter, did you ask her why she is getting up? What wakes her up?

Ellen
hey cuz, i am sorry i can't be there for emma's shower but please give her our love and tell her we said god bless her and the baby. hope you all have a nice one. love carmen, chris and elvin
ReplyDeletehey cindy, thanks for putting my mother in your journal and thanks to all your friends for saying prayers. i will look for a picture of her. im sure i have one somewhere.i have heard about aunt eva. i don't think my mom knows about her either. aunt eva's daughter is a real bitch from what i hear and is trying to keep the family away from her. she already took her house after cousin angelo passed away. it's all messed up here. i wish i could call my mom but that might stir up bad feelings and i am not ready to deal with it.
ReplyDeleteEveything is beautiful! I can't wait to see pictures fom the shower!!

Lord CIndy...that's alot of food to have to cook! Your poor legs will be hurting!

What a lot of nice things this baby is going to have. I like that sleeper changing thingy. I haven't seen one of those before but of course I haven't been around any babies the last few years either. Good luck cooking for the shower. Hope a lot of people show up to eat all that food. Helen

ReplyDeleteTime out is a good form of discipline, but taking the pictures and posting them is a little inhumane and demoralizing for them. I sure you thought it was funny at the time, but with a baby coming they are probably getting their nose out of joint and trying to get your attention. If kids don't get good attention they go after bad attention. Otherwise, I love your journal.
You desreve a nice cold glass of wine at the end of all this my Dear. Well done!
ReplyDeleteGaz ;-)
Hi Cindy great photos. We don't have baby showers here in the U.K. After the baby is born people call to the home with giftes and cards and to see the new baby. We don't go to the expense of a shower, but its sounds like a great time and will look forward to seeing the pictures. Hope all will go well for you after all your hard work. Kathie.
ReplyDeleteAwww... everything is so cute. Love those bad girls standing in the corners. Poor Daniel and there's another one coming to help make his life heck. Glad you came and rescued him and took him shopping. Ky love to go shopping with me. I feel bad now for complaining about myself dragging around when you are doing all that stuff. IF I was close I'd be helping you out. Everything sound delicious. I'm straving now. Hope you get a chance to rest a minute.
ReplyDeleteTake care, Chrissie
That little baby will be the luckiest and most well dressed baby on the block!!! That picture of those girls in time out cracked me up!!!!
ReplyDeleteI loved the pictures! Those shoes are just too cute! :o) Boy I hope that you can get some rest soon. You really need it.
ReplyDeleteLisa
