What a long & exhausting day! It started out alright. I got up, Bobby left, Stephanie came over and off to the doctor I went. Apparently, I only have sinusitis - but they did give me some antibiotics to make me feel better. I started to relax and my long, lost friend, Mary, came by to visit.
Then about ten minutes until 3:00 pm, my phone rang. It was the secretary at the high school. They thought my son had a seizure in class. They were watching a movie, his hand started to shake, he slumped down in his desk and fell on the floor, hitting his head. He lost consciousness for about 30 seconds and woke up.
This was terribly scary for me, considering something similar as this happened shortly before we found out my dad had a cancerous brain tumor. I drove Ryan home to then take him to the Emergency Room; however, he could barely handle the ride from school to home and it is only a few blocks. We decided to call an ambulance to take him.
After four hours, a urine culture, a blood draw, a chest x-ray, and a brain scan, they said everything looked fine. The doctor is thinking Ryan just passed out maybe and wants him to see our regular doctor on Monday. Hopefully it was a one time thing that won't happen again. I have never been so scared as a mother.
Other than that, I'm exhausted and I think it's time for us to sleep. It's only 9:00!! I don't think I have ever gone to bed this early before!! Crazy. Maybe it will be good for me. Nighty Night all...

Good thing nothing exciting happened today... I'm feeling not so good still. I have the headache, sinuses hurt, one nostril is stuffy and my throat. Not to mention the fact that my body hurts.
Despite my current sickness, baby D and I have been having tons of fun! It's been nice spending so much time with him while Daddy's at school. It's very exhausting but I'm getting through it. It's just going to take some getting used to I suppose.
Time to take something and get some sleep... nighty night all!

Well there you go. Yesterday was the day. The day that I didn't write a blog. I was actually busy! Can you believe it? My future sister-in-law, Stephanie, Dominic, and I ran to Chico yesterday. Good thing we did - Bobby ended up being stranded at the Butte College campus with a dead battery and nobody was around. Rita to the rescue!
After that, we went to the mall and I got a new pair of shoes - The Sketchers Shape-Ups. They are pretty cool shoes. They were quite expensive so I'm wearing them around the house to make sure they are keepers. They promote weight loss, help circulation, strengthen your back, help your posture, reduce cellulite in your thighs and strengthen your calves and abs. I wonder if they work... Then we ate lunch at Hula's and back home we came.  The Sketcher Shape-Up (Metabolize) - Click to learn more Bobby said he was going to check something out for school... that he was NOT doing. He bought me these cute Airwalk slippers that I wanted from Payless Shoe Source...  My new slippers When he handed them to me he told me to make sure that he got the right ones. Upon opening the box, I came upon a nicely wrapped gift in one of the shoes. After opening it, I discovered beauty...  The bling my honey got me... White Gold & diamonds... It was actually the necklace we were planning on getting for me to wear when we get married. I love it. He loves me. He surprised me with it. I was not expecting it at all. I will admit, I had a feeling he was going to get me the slippers :)
Anyway, I've had a long day without Bobby... he had school for basically 12 hours today. On top of it all, I think I'm getting sick - maybe something in my sinuses and throat. Not good. Plus, I think I have to run to the store tonight... have a good night.

Technically, I already posted a blog today... I'm not feeling too well so I'm gonna keep this short. I did pretty much nothing today. Today was Bobby's first day back to school so I had to get up semi-early and take a shower before he left that way I didn't have to figure out how I was going to when he was gone. I'm sure I'll get the hang of this "doing it on my own" thing. I did it with my first two children for lots of years.
So I don't know if it's something I ate or what but I feel sick... I need to sleep... maybe I'll sip on a Ginger Ale first. Nighty Night.

What would you do if you won a 42 inch Vizio LCD TV? For me, that would be awesome, considering our plasma TV has been acting up lately. If, by some miraculous force, our current television takes us through the future, my son would very much enjoy this TV if we were to win it.
My son is 14 and has the smallest room ever (or it seems that way). Our younger two children get the bigger room because they share. Currently, he has a bulky, clunker TV in his room and he just earned himself an XBOX 360... and on his TV, the graphics are not quality at all! The 360 is the best thing he's probably ever received (in his mind) and I could only imagine how he would feel about a space saving, awesome TV too!
It would be fabulous to win this and I'm sure many of you feel that way too - so mosey on over to their website and enter yourself! Good Luck!

So here I am... relaxing after a long day in Chico. Yes, you heard right, I got out of the house. Surprising, huh? Bobby wanted to go shopping for a couple of things. The weather wasn't too bad. So we piled up little B and baby D and off we went. Our first stop was the Chico Mall. Bobby got some pants from Anchor Blue. Next we went to Wendy's to eat - little B's choice. Then off to Game Stop we went... we spent too much money there. Then we stopped by Toys R Us to grab little B a prize and to check on a monitor for baby D. They didn't have a monitor we wanted. Last, we ran into Wal-Mart for a couple of necessities. Guess what I got all day? Tampons and face moisturizer.  baby D's first trip to Wendy's It's mostly my fault. I really couldn't find any clothing that I wanted. The pants I tried on were too tight, some shirts I found were too thin, and the shoes I kind of wanted were too expensive. This trip (and the fact that my current selection of clothing is very limited) made me get into an "I NEED to lose weight" mode. It's time. I have had the baby and my post-partem days are over. Let's do this! Bobby starts his first day of the new semester tomorrow. It is going to be weird being here without his help all day. I don't have to freak out just yet. His sister is going to come over tomorrow to help me out. He has to leave at nine in the morning and I just don't know if I will be able to get up that early and take a shower... I'm not quite the morning person. Eventually, we'll get the hang of it. Hopefully within a week or two. I'm sure there is more that I have to say because I actually did something today. But now that I did do something, I'm tired. So tired I think I need to get some rest. Well I will probably have Bobby go to sleep since he has school tomorrow and I will stay up with our little baby. Goodnight...Back to Life,Lovely Rita
Lifetime premiered a movie today - The Pregnancy Pact. What a movie. These girls are absolutely crazy! Trust me, I know it happens. It happened to me. I gave birth to my son only two weeks after my 15th birthday. I never thought it would happen to me - it did. Let's just say I grew up real fast and it helped mold me into the person I am today.
Back to "The Pregnancy Pact." What were these girls thinking? All over one girl wanting to be like Jamie Lynn Spears. It was very difficult being a teenage mother. Why anyone would deliberately do this to themselves is beyond me. It has shown these girls at parties drinking alcohol and at HOME smoking - in the presence of her guardian! The movie was alright... not everything I thought it would be.
So my 14 year old son has three friends over tonight. I'm not sure that he has ever had that many stay the night at once. Surprisingly, they are being somewhat quiet. TheirGuitar Hero can get a little loud here and there but nothing that is really bothering us. We'll see how it goes after we lay down to sleep. Awake children always seem louder at that point.
Baby Dominic has been extra fussy today for some reason. At first, it seemed as if he was fighting his sleep (and most of the time I think he very well might have been) but other times, it seemed as if something were wrong. We have taken him to the doctor a few times and he has been switched formulas a couple of times. He is currently on Similac Alimentum. I'm thinking I will call his doctor Monday morning if he continues to act this way tonight and tomorrow.
Sleep is calling my name. Nighty Night...

How can a baby so small create so much laundry? Seriously, this kid accumulates more laundry than anyone else in the house. Today was a busy day for putting those dirty clothes in the hamper. I think we got a bad batch of diapers. He leaked through twice early this morning. So that was two pajamas. Next, he somehow ended up with wetness near his armpit - I'm guessing it was some "secret spit-up." Then, shortly after, I was changing his diaper and he decided to pee everywhere. He hasn't done that to me in a while. If I remember correctly some time he also spit up and had to be changed. He wore like five different things before noon. He's so darn cute, I just don't care. So I suppose I'm not complaining... just sharing.
During his "I wanna dirty all the clothes" moments, he decided to spit up on my jeans. So I figured I'd do a load of our laundry. Ugh! Living in apartments is the pits when it comes to laundry. Someone in the laundry room had all four washers and all four dryers. There should be some kind of limit that way when someone comes along with one load they don't get into a predicament. On top of that, there should be more than four washers and four dryers for over 50 apartments... don't you think?
Briana, Briana, Briana... we dabbled in a little Girl Scout cookie selling. I wish I could tell you she came out of her shell and sold her little heart out but that is not the case. We started after school with her teacher and then visited another teacher she knows. She managed to sputter out some words here and there with them. We then walked into the school office - walked in, that's all. She said, "I'm scared" and we walked right back out.
We dropped by a friend of mine's business. Luckily, she got everyone in the office to order some cookies. The whole time they were ordering Briana was worried about getting out of there to see her friend outside that we saw when we were coming in. By the time we made it out, she was gone and Briana was disappointed. We headed over to my mechanic's and sold some too. So I'm okay with her selling to people we know... not too sure about strangers. I think I'd end up being the one to sell the cookies and not her.
That about sums up my day. How was your day?

By the way, is it lame that if I move over to Blogspot, I am considering copy & pasting all of my blogs thus far? I just can't let them go. After all, it is my New Year resolution... something I want to look back on at the end of the year.
Like you all must know, I'm new to this blogging business. You also must know that I have high expectations for myself as far as expanding this blog in 2010. Upon joining The Blog Frog, I have came across many of amazing blogs that mine doesn't even compare to. I love everything about them - from the content to the design of the site.
Looking at these fabulous blogs creates questions that I have yet found the answers to. How can I create an amazing looking page? I have seen many that look like they have came out of a breathtaking scrapbook, fully equipped with a navigation bar and sidebars on both the left and right side. Not to mention, their beautiful signatures at the end of every entry... I want this.
I'm beginning to wish I would have started a blog at Blogger - is it too late to switch over? Can I take my blogs with me? Is there software out there that can assist me in creating a unique looking site? I just want this to reflect who I am. While you're reading, how can I attain more readers? Now that you've made it this far, join my community at The Blog Frog. :)
If you have the answers to any of my questions, I would greatly appreciate your input. Thanks again for reading.

Outside? What is that? I didn’t make it out there one time today. Not too bad. Briana and I were supposed to go sell some cookies today – ugh, the weather has just got us in a funk (well me at least). The weather says it is supposed to rain tomorrow and then it is said to be sunny this weekend. J This weekend it’s on – cooking selling here we come!
I’m sitting here watching The Doctors (yes, I love DVR) and they are talking about the health problems that eating too much fatty foods can cause. They sure do make it sound easy to keep me and my family healthy. I really need to get it together in that area. Oh my goodness! They were just talking about contact lens problems and that is exactly why I have been stuck in my glasses for a year now! My optometrist seems to over medicate and doesn’t ever do anything for the long run of the problem. I’m supposedly “legally blind” but they’ve told me because of that I’m not a candidate for Lasik eye surgery. Maybe I just need help from The Doctors…
Bobby has offered to sleep in the living room with baby Dominic that way I can have the bed all to myself and get a good night’s sleep. As great as a good night sleep sounds, I don’t want to be without him all night. Is that bad? I would rather have my sleep interrupted than sleep alone all night. I love the idea that the man of my dreams is right next to me all throughout the night. Call me crazy.
Anyway, nighty night.
