Heathers crazy life.

I guess im back.

2009-03-18T23:19:00.002-04:00

I have lost or cant get to my normal online journal so I guess its time to use my faithfull blog againe.

So whats been up and happened lately?
Well ill start with Daniel. He just had his 4th birthday and party, it was wonderfull and he was sooooo happy!! He is talking allot more now, still in therapy but talking is good. He is in the middle of a total redo and getting a new evaluation. Goes for his check up in a few days. He has been major stubborn this week but im thinking mabey he feels bad or somthing. He has done great this winter wth not getting sick. Im hoping it stays that way.

Michael is well doign o.k. Still getting his therapy also. He was doing great in Kindergarten but now is having issues and may need to be held back. I was upset at first but now im o.k. Dont want to push him if he is not ready for 1st grade. He is growing up, getting smarter and talking more. Im am very frustrated with his diagnosis right now. He only has a diagnosis of sensory problems. But the reason is when he had his last eval almost three years ago they said he was mentally not able to do the eval so they would do it when he was able. Well that was almost three years ago and now nobody wants to do it. School says the Dr needs to do it, Dr says its the schools job?? So he gets little help other than his two therapys because he has no diagnosis. Yet kids better off than him in his class get tons of help cause they have a official diagnosis. Yeah I am not venting about it, usually I just keep it to myself but im tired of all of this. I cant get my kid what he needs no matter how hard I try.

Well other than the kids not allot going on. Hauling the boys to soccer practice and games, and therapy, ect. I dont have allot of free time.

I did run two 5K's. In Feb my time was 32.06 and the one in March was only 28.40!! Now im running anotehr next month and im hoping for at least one second faster, thats all I ask is one second. Mabey I can do it?

Halloween.

2008-11-02T13:38:00.002-05:00

I first of all had a awsome vacation and will post pics later when I find time.

We took the boys out for halloween and both the little dino's had tons of fun. We did a fall festival instead of the traditional halloween thing. We carved our pumpkins also!! I guess all is going well right now. NOt much to talk about. I think im running a 5K in Feb!! Ive been thinking about it for a long time now and I guess im finally goign to do it. I can allready run the milage needed but still want to up my miles before I actually do it or increase my speed. Im running with a friend so whatever speed she goes, I will go. So if she is a little slower cause she is shorter and all then ill go shorter. Its more important to finesh with her than run fast!!!! Im kinda excited about it, having my Chiro work out a few things also that should make it easier for me. I have a one hour massage scheduled friday, yeah I know I cant rememer the last time I did somthing that good for myself??

Its that time

2008-10-06T18:37:00.002-04:00

Well almost that time. I leave in four days for a kidless/husbandless vacation. Just a few friends and thats it!! I have never been away from my kids like this but I think its about time. Daddy can take care of the boys just fine. Ill only be gone four days but its a much needed break from it all. Im picking up the Prius tommarrow to drive on vacation, the van would use too much gas and who needs a minivan for only two adults. I need a non mommy car for this trip!!! Im just over excited!

In other news my weeks sounds crazy busy.
Mon: clean clean clean
Tue: Beach playdate and pick up car
Wed: Grocery store at 7:30am, speach after than, then a Chiropractor appt in the afternoon and rock climbing that night.
Thurs: Speach appt, packing, then leaving to spend the night with my friend so we can leave before the sun even thinks of coming up!!
Friday: drive 500+ miles to my destination!!!

SAT-Mon fun fun fun and drive home.

2008-09-26T00:03:00.003-04:00

Cool toys. Im not buying anymore battery toys for awile. I bought my kids a train today, a plain and simple wood train. No sounds, no batteries, nothing. They love it, and they played for hours with it. Goes to show you kids using their imagination is a good thing. We dont even turn the TV on anymore, I dont need a TV to babysit my kids or entertain them. I sure dont need it to teach them or the computer for that either. They learn better when I teach them, I dont see how letting PBS, blue or barney teach them things is good??

Changes

2008-09-23T12:54:00.001-04:00

I once againe have changed my blog name. I could not leave it as a picture blog if I never keep up. I also changed the background coler for now. Now im green not pink!!

I forgot one importand Daniel update. He has been potty trained for a few months now!!! So I have no kids in diapers. Well Daniel still has nighttime accidents so he wears a pull up overnight but thats it thankfully!!!

Time for a update.

2008-09-22T22:09:00.003-04:00

Michael Started Kindergarten last month and so far things are going o.k. Sensory issues are really bothering him right now so we are working on that. They want him to have another evaluation to see whats going on psychologically?? I just know dealing with a child with problems is very difficult esp when it comes to school. Now our Insurance is changing also so the therapist who has seen him for the last 3+ years is not accepting the new insurance so he has to change. This will not be fun cause Michael and change do not go very well together. But we will get through it.

Daniel is doing great. He is talking more everyday. He has learned his ABC's and now is learning to write them. He knows all his shapes and colers. They had me apply for preschool but he did not get in and im kinda thankfull. I like teaching him at home for now. He still goes to speach thearpy twice a week and its perfect cause while he gets thearpy I volenteer as a sanity saver in Michael's class!! We have been going to tons of playdates now that im the one planning them. Thats good for him also.

Im going on my first kid and husband free vacation in a few weeks. I cant wait!! Im sure I will miss them but I will enjoy the time off. Im starting back rock wall climging this week. We had to take some time off this summer cause it got too hot. They dont have AC, only huge fans and it was really hot in the warehouse. Not a whole lot else going on. Dh just went on a trip with Kip and he is going againe the weekend before my vacation.

Ill try and upload some more pics. I guess you can tell I gave up on my year of pictures. I also lost some blog entry's I had somehow?? Well back to adding more.

2007-08-19T20:43:00.001-04:00

So I guess this is the only way to post pictures on my blog untill

I figure out what is wrong. So these are the pictures I had made a few

weeks ago of his first birthday. I ordered allot, then ordered the

extras they offered when I picked them up. Now I need to make an

appointment for easter pictures.

2006-02-22T10:44:00.000-05:00

Im just posting this because its a rare that you will see michael asleep. He fell asleep after his shower the other night while watching T.V.

2006-02-14T02:03:00.000-05:00

Just a few shots of the boys a the aquarium in MB. They had allot of fun. Michael loved the fish and the belt thing you walk on..

2006-02-14T01:20:00.000-05:00

Yikes a shark, I took this at ripleys when we took the kids. I was suprised it took so well through the glass!

2006-01-13T15:57:00.000-05:00

Got to post this even if its older!
He was so happy riding on that thing and he has such a cute smile!!! I fall in love everytime I look at him.

2005-12-28T11:40:00.000-05:00

Happy Baby!
I had to do this, matching shirts!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this picture even if they are not smiling.

I took this one of Daniel on Christmas day, yes I had to pose him and he did not like having to sit still.

2005-10-27T13:48:00.000-04:00

He looks like he is posing as bigfoot in this one.

2005-10-27T13:40:00.000-04:00

This is a picture of the view from our room. It was amazing how close we were to the lake and how nice it was. The weather was cool and it felt great.

2005-10-27T13:39:00.000-04:00

Playing in the leaves at the arbutorium (or however that is spelled).

2005-10-27T13:37:00.001-04:00

Michael the cow, he is such a Ham.

2005-10-27T13:37:00.000-04:00

This is Daniel sleeping in the park. Thats what he did allot on the trip.

2005-09-05T14:44:00.000-04:00

Ewwww, what a dirty kid. It took forever to get all that dirt off of him.

Results.

2005-07-08T17:45:00.000-04:00

Michael had his developmental evaluation yesterday. They said he is behind in speach first of all but they did not say how far yet. He is also only on a 18 month old level with his fine moter skills, adaptive behanvior, and social-emotional behavior. He has to see a occupational therapist in two weeks for those problems. He also has to see a nutritionist to work on getting him to eat non pureed foods without gaging. I am not sure what is causing all of this so hopfully we will get some more answers soon. They also have to check his hearing as well.

Well I am glad that is finally over, well at least the evaluation part. Other than that not much going on. I have tons of appointments this month, and its so hot that I dont want to go. I have been trying to stay at home during the day and only going out at night when its a little cooler. I only mean a little, the other night I came home after 9pm and it was still 85 outside.

2005-06-28T21:27:00.000-04:00

Mr.giggles, he is just sooooo happy after his bath. I love those little toothless grins!

2005-06-27T15:26:00.000-04:00

Daneil looks kinda shocked in this one, I think he was wondering what the camera was. I fogot to use the red eye, kinda looks funny.

I took this one in the grass the other day, he really seems to like it outside when its not to hot.

My cool little man in his new glasses, he loves them. I cant blame him, the sun is so bright it hurts my eyes also.

2005-06-14T12:27:00.000-04:00

This is Michael's favorite place to go when I turn my back for two seconds.

2005-06-14T12:23:00.000-04:00

Eating cake.

2005-06-01T13:34:00.000-04:00

This was Michael's favorate thing at the aqurium, the turtles. Did I mention I really love my new camera, and it takes great pictures.

2005-06-01T13:29:00.000-04:00

This is Daniel's first time at the beach. It was cloudy and a little cool, so I had to bundle him up a little. He was sitting in a hole we dug for him.

2005-06-01T13:25:00.000-04:00

Michael at fort fisher. He loved looking at the fish.

2005-05-21T14:48:00.000-04:00

Michael and the big smile!

2005-05-20T18:45:00.000-04:00

Daniel is getting really good at lifting his head up,he still leans to the side. He has trouble getting the right side up, but is improving every day.

2005-05-04T15:39:00.000-04:00

My little munchkin. I had him weighed to day and he is 14 1/2 lbs. Wow he will only be 8 weeks old tomarrow and he has already gained almost five pounds. That sounds like allot, but he does not look that fat, well I dont think so. We had to take Michael to the Dr. today for a fever he has had for several days. The Dr. said it was just teething, so I am hoping that is all. He has also been really grumpy for the past week. Michael now weigh's 30 lbs. He is getting so big, I had to bye him a new pair of shoes last night, size 8. I found some really cute blue Nike's on sale, the last three pair of shoes I have bought him are Ni*ke. They look so cute on him, and they all were on sale so they were pretty cheep. I think its naptime, the baby is asleep, I am sleepy, and Michael is grumpy, so he must be sleepy to. Off to take a nap!!

2005-05-03T16:11:00.000-04:00

New pictures of the boy's!!!!

2005-04-08T16:37:00.000-04:00

This is Daniel Joseph the day he was born.

2005-04-08T16:25:00.000-04:00

Daniel Joseph was born Thursday 03/10/05, at 12:29pm. This is his story, I dont feel like writing it againe so I will copy and paste it.
Wednesday afternoon I started feeling the same as I did the day before Michael was born. So I went to food lion to walk and stock up on food, then came home and walked around outside with Michael allot more. Went to bed around midnight but had trouble going to sleep. Thursday morning around 2am I woke up and my water had broken. Woke up Dh, called the Dr., got Michael up and dressed still no contractions so from 7-8 am I walked around the L&D floor hallway. Started having strong contractions but not making much progress only at 4cm. They gave me pitossin and then it started moving faster and I got my epidural. 11:45 the nurse checked me and said I was almost fully dilated, Dr. came in and checked at 12 and I was ready to push. I started pushing at 12:10 am, everything was going fast, his head came out and then he got stuck. His shoulders are really wide so he was stuck pretty good. I had two nurses pushing on my belly while I was pushing and the Dr. was pulling with this panicked look on her face. 12: 29 Finally he came out but he was not breathing and was blue. They cut his cord and took him over to the table to work on him, he started crying soon after they suctioned him and gave him oxygen. They kept him over their for what seemed like forever, the Dr. was worried she had hurt his shoulder pulling on him so hard so they had to check that out also. She also was having trouble getting me to stop bleeding so for the first 30+ minutes of his life I did not get to hold him. They also did not weigh him for the longest time, but when they did they said 9Ibs 11oz, I was in shock. The Dr. told me before I started pushing that she thought he would be smaller than Michael was, and he was 8Ibs 4oz. I finally got to hold him, he was perfect, still a little blue on the feet and hands and his face was bruised from being smushed coming out. But he was perfect to me. We spent 24 hours after he was born in the hospital and then we came home. He went in for a four day checkup and he weighed 9Ibs 7oz, and was measuring at 22in, he was 21 in the hospital so they think they measured him wrong. He weighed 10lbs 7oz at two weeks.

2004-12-15T22:11:00.000-05:00

Hear is a picture of Michael showing off his new ourfit before we had his picture made last week. I should get the picture back and post some this weekend. He looks so handsom!

2004-11-19T12:52:00.000-05:00

My little man sleeping, he is getting so big latley. I love his new PJ's they look so grown up compared to the sleeper style. He is feeling a little better this morning, but is still sleeping all the time. Coughing still also, I really hope he gets better soon so I will feel better.

2004-09-07T20:46:00.000-04:00
