My Dr. that is. I finally have been making myself and caring for myself a priority. I saw the most fabulous Dr. yesterday. It was my first visit with him so a lot of it was just talking about me and my history and current issues and what I'd like to accomplish. He is a Naturopath and it was so nice not to leave with a hand full of scripts. I did leave with one, which is one I wished to have.

I left his office with a prescription for Melatonin, commonly used for insomnia, and I sleep fabously last night. I wasn't dead to the world when Mollie starting jabbering over the baby monitor, I didn't feel like I had a "pill hangover", I felt like I had been sleeping and just woke up. I felt refreshed and slightly more energized the more I laid there and thought about how I was feeling.

I FEEL GREAT!

Just Another Manic Monday

29 August 2011

I think I have used that title before. Actually I am sure I have.

Things have become explosive and volatile with Skot. It's actually quite surprising. He was seemingly the level headed one for awhile, and me the impulsive, over reactionary selfish one. These days the roles have totally reversed and sadly it's taken mediation and police involvement for him to see things my way.

I feel the desire to be more crafty. I'm a secret etsy window shopper. I always find myself thinking, "omg, that is so cute, but I'm not spending $25 on that, I can make it way cheaper," or a thought of similar nature. I want to get more in touch with my inner crafter. Perhaps with these cooler and more festive months ahead of us I will unleash that beast!

Hurricane Irene did quite the job on our area. It was a tearful drive though town today. It's so crazy how some homes are ok, and some homes are flooded past the first floor windows. We drove past one property today where the porch had detached and was floating in the front yard. My family and I have remained very lucky.

This is RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD FROM US:



And this is near the town where I grew up:





This is from our town:




And this is from OUR STREET:



It saddens me so much when I look around, and then I realize how lucky my family and I really are. We were totally prepared for the worst, and it was pretty bad. I know we'll be prepared for next time as there is always a next time.

Dear Santa,

28 August 2011

All this momma wants for Christmas is a belt like Rich's belt he got when he was in the military, and a Keurig with Dunkin' Dark and GM Coffee Roasters Dark Majic.

Yes, I've been a good girl all year long and that is what I want.

Sick Kids and Preparing for Irene

27 August 2011

So both my little ones are sick. Which sucks.

I've been on Facebook this morning and I have to ex out of the stupidity. It's, well raunchy, what some people considered "stocking up just in case". This is not myself, but a post I saw, and mind you this is for a family of four, possibly five if daddy decides to be in the picture:

"aaaaaah I will be all alone, me and my chicklings soooo if any1 wants to cum over so we can freek out together that would be good, Iam all stocked up on smokes, beer, and poptarts and yes and my buddy xxxxxxxx xxxxxxx brought me 2 jugs of water."

You can up on smokes and beer in the even of damaging weather conditions is acceptable. I hope that in the event or the worst case scenario that you enjoy your cigarettes and beer while all those kids have is water and pop tarts.

I know we have 4 gallons of water, plus individual bottles, we have so many canned items it's a little crazy, but I stock up anyways, just about every month. We've got diapers, wipes, formula, a few candles, flashlight, blankets, juice, those small cartons of milk that you do not have to refrigerate. Oh, and the family that lives down stairs has the basement ready and accessible. Some people are just stupid, and they are right, you really cannot fix stupid.

Out of the Loop.

13 August 2011

I have been sitting here reading blogs of friends and link hoping and having a lot of fun while realizing that I want to blog again. I miss it. I miss interacting with most of you and just knowing that people care enough to read about my day.

It's been since October that I blogged. Mollie was not even born yet.

Mollie Theresa entered this world after a horrid c-section on October 19, 2010 at 1:44pm, weighing in at 6 pounds 13 ounces and being a precious 18 inches. She is a perfect fighter. She is my personal definition of fighting Irish. When Mollie was 3 days old we were at home and she had an episode of cyanosis around her mouth and nose and became very limp and unresponsive. A 911 call and about 6 minutes later there were about 20 EMT's in my home to help our baby. Mollie is doing excellent, and in light of those events we were able to learn about a kidney defect in which she was born with; renal dysplasia.

That's a lot to say for not blogging in over 6 months, but that's a small step in the direction of playing catch up.
