Ugg!

So, I had to go to the Dr. yesterday. I've had serious cramps for about a week or so now, and then REALLY bad pain, mostly on my left side, this last weekend. So I went in and got an u/s done. I have a 5 cm cyst on my right overy (the normal size is about 2-3 cm), and then I had a LOT of fluid all around my left overy. My Dr. is assuming that I had a cyst on that one as well and it had ruptured. They can't do anything for cysts unless they stay there for awhile or get huge, so she gave me a shot of something to help the pain and sent me on my way.

I had to call them again this morning though because I was in SOO much pain, I felt nausous, achy, etc. Still the really bad crampy feeling. I went to get blood drawn and a urinalysis so we'll see what they say about that (we should have my results by tomorrow morning though which is good!) It just really sucks though because I just cancelled my health insurance this month! We were paying almost $300 a month just for me (less than $100 for Matt and the boys each) and we just couldn't do it anymore. Go figure, huh?!?!

Anyway! The boys are doing good and excited about Halloween tomorrow night. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures and post them. Jace and Kelton had a "Fall party" at their school today and they thought that was really cool and Daylon has his "Bat Feast" (where they eat what the bats eat- fruit, bugs (gummy!), blood (red drinks), etc) and he's SUPER excited about that! We're still not exactly sure where we'll go Trick-Or-Treating this year. I do know that we'll be going with some friends of ours and their two boys, so that'll be nice. Last year we had a huge neighborhood thing where all of the kids went together (with the parents following of course!) then went to one of the neighbors houses and had a big chili dinner thing. Yumm!! It seems like all of our neighbors (with the exception of a few) have peaced out on us though, and we're no longer "friends." Long story, but just sucks for the kids, ya know??

Anyway! I've lost my train of thought- one of the neighborhood girls just came by to see if I would donate money to her Jump Rope for Heart (of course I did!) ;-)

Alright, I'd better get going. Need to figure something out for supper (we have tons of different kinds of leftovers so everyone is just going to have to make do with that!), get the house picked up so they can come and clean it tomorrow (gotta love that!), and then make sure everything is ready for Trick-Or-Treating tomorrow too (YEAH!) I'm off!

Video of Blayden

Well, hopefully things will settle down some after this final week of Daylon's football and I'll actually be able to write more on here!!

Anyway, I have a cute video of Blayden after his first OREO cookie (which, of course, he loved!) He's such a stinker and still SOOO sweet! Enjoy the video and I promise I'll post more on here later! (And I really do take videos and pictures of the other boys too, they just usually start acting silly once they see the camera and the pictures end up really bad! LOL)

Just goin' crazy!

I don't think I've slowed down in the last week or so, much less STOPPED to enjoy myself! I still have my two classes that I've had to deal with, and the boys all have school (which is going really well for all of them), karate, football, etc, etc, etc. It really does seem like we just don't stop for anything anymore! I can't even imagine how crazy it's going to be when all four boys start doing sports and stuff. Ugg!!

On top of that, Blayden STILL isn't feeling well. His nose is still stuffy and yucky and he is even running a slight fever today (he's trying to get one of his top teeth so that's probably not helping- I don't care WHAT the Dr's say, kids DO run a fever when they are teething!) I just don't know what the deal is though! This is a CONSTANT stuffy nose for him and it makes him (and me) miserable. He can't breathe at night, and the last two nights he's even started to cough really badly. Guess I'm going to call the Dr. and see if I can get him in again today.

Jace and Kelton also came home from their Mother's Day Out yesterday with a fever and Jace has thrown up (a little) this morning. So I missed Daylon's football game to stay home with them (Daylon got one out of the two touchdowns our team scored too- he's doing AWESOME with it this year and is one of the best kids on the team!) I'm just so tired of having someone sick in my family! We can't all get well at once. (Even I don't feel good, but I think it's because I was out walking yesterday morning and it was COLD- well, 62 degrees, which is cold when you're not used to it yet!) ;-)

Anyway, that's kind of my gripe for the day. I'm going to call the Dr.'s office once they open. On a good note, Christine was great and sent me a Boulevard for Blayden so I feel SOOO much safer with him in that! It's such an awesome car seat and he really seems to love it. Yippee for us!! (And thanks again, Christine!!)

Oh!! And I'm going to try to sell my Navigator. I LOVE it and it's so nice, but there is NOT enough room in the back for storage, etc. I can't even put Blayden's stroller and groceries all back there at once. I really want a Suburban or something that has more storage room. So if anyone knows of anyone that might be interseted in a 2006 silver Lincoln Navigator with only 15,000 miles, let me know. We're JUST asking what we owe on it. :-)

Karate + Football = One Busy Night!!!

Well, Jace and Kelton had karate last night and I FINALLY got some pictures of them!! Daylon had his first football game as a "Panther" against the Lions and we won 5-4!! Daylon got TWO of those touchdowns and pulled a lot of flags- he did awesome and we were SOOO proud of him!

Anyway, here are a few pictures of Jace and Kelton at karate, and then some of Daylon at flag football.


My hadsome karate experts... lined up with the group.

A fierce kick by Kelton

Daylon is READY!


Looking at someone on the sidelines....??? :-)


My handsome BIG boy!!!

Blayden's big boy bath fun!!!

Oh! I completely forgot to mention!! I gave Blayden a bath in my bathtub the other day and he LOVED it! He just slid around, splashed, and kept grinning, so I took some pictures. Here they are- Enjoy!!








And a picture of him playing- isn't he cute?!?! :-)

Dropped!

Well... my math class turned out to be too much for me. I just wasn't picking up on it, and then last week we had a test and I had COMPLETELY forgot about it that day, so I didn't study at all. I made an 18 on that test. Today was the last day to drop with a "W" at Blinn, so I figured that a "W" would be better than an "F" and just dropped it. I'm upset with myself and I feel SOO stupid! It just sucks because I've taken the beginning part of that class and I made a high "A" in it.

On a good note, it looks like we sold our dining room table! ;-) I've wanted to sell it FOREVER, so I finally recovered the chairs and put in on Craigslist. Matt made me list it for $800 (I figured we would be lucky to get $500 for it) and I had someone contact me the first day it listed. They just emailed me back today saying that they wanted it and would send me a certified check for the full price! I'm still a little stunned! However, it just all seems a little hokey. The person obviously isn't from the U.S. and doesn't speak the best of English so it's hard to read and understand what he/she (I don't even know if it's a man or a woman!) is saying. Hopefully it's a ligit thing though and we can get this table GONE so I can get a wooden one with at least six chairs! (This is a big glass top table with only 4 chairs so we can't even all sit down to dinner together- I hate it!!!)

Daylon has his first flag football game of the season tonight! I'm super excited- I love watching him play. And he's GOOD!! I'll be sure to take pictures of him (and I still need to take pictures of Jace and Kelton doing their Karate too!) and post them all on here later. Since I won't be having math homework, I should have more time to post my blogs! LOL :-)~

Alright, I'd better get off though. I do need to finish some other homework and I have to take a test on Thursday for my online class I'm taking. Fun, fun, fun!
