my challenge to you....

seeing as how I am as hum drum as they come these days.... what would you like to hear about me? what do you want to see in my blog?

patrick spent his first night away from Mommy....

and mommy was not too happy about that. the kids had their joint birthday party this weekend, and I am used ot Jadyn who still at her bf's house at 8pm wants to come home and we have to just say nope you are staying, you wanted to go, your there.......
patrick has been BEGGING to go spend the night at his best buddies forever. his best buddy btw is Jadyn's best friends little brother- and his mom and i are wonderful friends.
So they had their party, and J had 7 girls.. yup 7 count em... I am all sorts of crazy.
D said"Chrissi did you tell me this many girls were spending the night"
me- feigning idiot mode- well of course i did , dear , sweet husband of mine....{GAG ME}
D~ ummmm are you insane.....
I was all like Oh I can SO do this.... and then of course he heads to his buddy's house to play the xbox 360- of course within 20 minutes J was sick from all the junkfood and wanted her daddy so I had to call him and be all like, your girl wants you home, come home blah blah blah.

so anyway back to Patrick- my friend said P want to come spend the night with "Maiden"? His name is Ayden but for some reason my boys call him Maiden lol. Patrick got his backpack faster than I have ever seen him move and started shoving things in and said lets go~ down the stairs he went saying.. bye mommy bye i see you later! I was all like wait patrick are you sure you wan tto go? are. you. sure?
because Mommy is NOt so sure. lets clarify. Patrick has spent 4 nights away from me since he was born into my life. two. and that was when wy was in the hospital and i had no choice. but never away from me by choice. never picking his "buddy" over me. NEVER.
so I call later to check on him and my friend said PAtrick your doing fine right? you don't want to go home? Patrick said NOOOOOOOOOOO. Ayden said mommy I don't want patrick to go home, at which point I hear P say big and loud- Its ok buddy I am not going anywhere.

Part of me is glad he went so willingly. I guess that means I have raised a secure little man.
the rest of me is SO glad that Wy is too young for sleepovers.
on a good note, my P man sure was glad to see me this am!

on vacation from school....

WHEW! I finally finished this semester. Anatomy I and Lab are done as well as Soc. I am done I need a break. a little disheartned that they screwed up having me take my placement tests which should have been done FIRST, and now I can't enroll in the math pre req I need to be enrolled in by spring semester to apply for the RN program. so I basically have to push everything back a semester. take 2 non credit math courses over the summer and my english and have everything done by NEXT spring to apply next spring.
talk about a pain. in. the. ass.

LITERALLY. I am over it. I wanted to quit, not go back, finito... done.
but the D-man says I have to keep on keeping on... I will hate myself if I don't. and after all what is a minor set back...............

ok so here chrissi goes..... keepin on... keepin on...

Mommy swallowed me up and then they had to cut me out..................

Let me start out by saying that Tuesday December 9th was little man's birthday. his 4th. He tells me he is no longer Mommy's boy.... instead he is now Mommy's MAAAAAN... and says it just like this. He wore his birthday boy shirt proudly and showed it to whoever would pay him attention.
Little back ground, Patrick is my preemie. he came to us at just over 30 weeks gestation due to Pregnancy Induced Hypertension, Preeclampsia, low amniotic fluids ect ect. we were blessed by the grace of God, {yes he is great} that even though they brought the ventilator machine into the OR and warned us he would be intubated, he did not need to be, they warned us about apnea and the apnea monitors, he suprised everyone by keeping his sats up, his body temperature, passing the car seat test ect. they cut my belly at 731 pm that night and at 737 I heard the most glorious scream as they pulled him out of my belly. A night that I will be forever grateful for. {not that I am not so thankful for my other 2, just this one was so early and we came so close......}
So anyway the other day was his birthday- he and wy are 15 months apart. both c sections. J was my only Vag. So patrick asked me "Mommy how was I borned?" I showed him my scar and just said when you were born you were very sick and they had to cut my belly open and you came out here.
WY: mommy mommy mommy my come out your belly?
me: yes wy you did too.
WY: mommy my kick you?
me: yes wy you did.
WY: mommy my not mean to I so sorry as he kisses my scar

meanwhile patrick is just staring at my scars....

Patrick: mommy how did i get in there?
me: you just grew in there
Patrick: I need to go talk to daddy
run run run... and he goes to talk to daddy while daddy is in the shower

Patrick: Daddy did you knwo that mommy swallowed me up and ate me down to her belly and I got sick and they had to cut me out and throw me to you to save me.

Daddy: wow p thats an ummm interesting story... I wonder how mommy knew you were sick and needed to get out?
{ok.... daddy...seriously... lets not egg it on}
Patrick: well daddy..... I put my mouth to her belly and said "mommmyyyyyy your man is ready to come out come gettttt meeeeee i neeeeed you"

seriously... out of the mouth of babes.
so happy birthday my little man, may you have many many more blessed birthday.
Love, Mommy

Black Friday....

First let me say. Last year was my very first year Black Friday shopping. EVER. I loved it. I vowed that I would go every year and join in the festivities.

This year the only thing that I wanted was the portable DVD player that was supposed to be on sale for 49.00, the case with the car charger for 10.00 and some of the matchbox cars that were a 10 pack for 5.00, a boy cabbage patch for Wyatt for 10.00 and a Baby Alive for 10.00 that Jadyn has been busting my ass about for over a year now that I finally decided to get since it was so cheap. I called a week before the AD came out in my area because someone on my FAVE group ever...www.gymbofriends.com was nice enough to post a pic of the ad she had seen. I wanted to know how many they were getting, what brand it was ect ect since it didn't say the brand where I could see it. the NICE nice nice sales lady said... "well I am certainly glad YOU know what our ads are because we don't." well.... stupid join gymbofriends hahahahahahahaha.
so we get the ad and it says you can buy online at midnight the DVD players. my friend and I opt to try and do that that way w can hit kohls when it opens at 4 versus having to wait in line so early at walmart. thats a no go. they weren't online. So I called my friend at 1230 and said ok lets meet at 330. I get up at 325 and therre is a voice mail. Bitch has been there since 145 ~! 145~!~!~~~ again I repeat 145! I had worked the night before so my happy tail was in bed.

So I get up and get dressed, stopped at DD for breakfast for Franc and I and head on out. all the pallets were still wrapped but she had talked a worker into showing her wherer the pallet was so she was parked in the section right by the yellow tape. we sat for a few hrs the lines started getting longer and people started getting nasty- going under hte yellow tape to STANd right by the stuff {we were right near the Xbox 360 bundles and MAN was that a fiasco} to workers taking stuff out of the palletts and giving them to friends who were s hopping and saying hide this. at 5 am they yelled GO GO GO and we dove. I got knocked over, some woman AHEM BITCH knocked me over and crawled over me to get a darn DVD player.... sheesh woman. next time get in line at 145 am lmao.
all in all it was fun. we got what we wanted I spent 135 and finished most of what I wanted with the exception of 2 blue fisher price kid tough dvd players I want to get the boys. then I am done.
oh wait stockings...thtas a whole shopping trip in itself!

Finals.....

So I will admit . I have been a bad blogger blogger blogger.......... This semester has been bad for me. {and looks like its only going to get worse....................} I got Mono half way through the semester, and then ended up in the Hospital for 12 hrs getting IV fluids and antibiotics as I ended up with bronchitis on top of that due to my dumbass not taking care of myself.... i know , i know, nurses know better. I KNOW BETTER. but I kept going to work, didn't take the time off like I was supposed to and well got really really sick and ended up off work for 4 days anyway.

Finals are upon us... its been crazy, I am not ready and at midterms had a B average. I think I still have that B or VERY close to it. so I am not too too worried. My lab class has been awesome, we dissected a cat, a sheeps brain, a cow's eye, and a deer heart. I love the dissection portion of class. I can't WAIT to start clinicals again, that was the best part of nursing school when I was in LPN school. I lived for clinical days.

Christmas shopping is ALMOST done. I braved black friday... that will be another post. UGh it was bad. I hvae 2 more presents to buy the kids the boys are going to get a Fisher price DVD player if my darn bonus goes in on the 12th like its supposed to.... so letttttts gooooooo bonuses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I promise my faithful few.,,,, I will start blogging more and more. you will be tired of hearing from me!
