the news for today is ... there is no news

Jaylen is doing better with her bottles and is now up to 6oz. I think she's growing. She goes back to the dr tomorrow for re-evaluation of her head. I think she's doing a lot better, hopefully the dr will think so too. I can't tell if her head is less flat on the right side or not, but she can hold her head up really good while laying on her belly and she's sitting better (with support -- I mean, she is only 3 months). Either way, we're going to say no to the helmet. All my other kids had the same problem with their head, but I guess the new thing is to give out helmets. And none of my kids have weird misshapen heads. I figure once she's a little older and stronger it won't be an issue at all. We're planning on going to Binder Park Zoo on Saturday ... but it's supposed to rain. :( Pray it doesn't! It's a great zoo, well, at least it was 4 years ago when we last went. In other news, the armless lego man is now fixed and apparently on Jango & Boba Fett's airship. ;)

{just a mongolian war twitch}

Jesse brings me a lego man whose arm came off. I ask, "What happened?" Jesse replies, "Big war." ROFL!

bottles?

Jaylen is driving me nuts. She won't drink her bottles. She'll drink 1/2 and then burp, then after that she is done. She refuses to drink anymore and screams and has a fit. *sigh* I'm getting so frustrated! She was up to 5.5 oz bottles and now she'll drink about 3oz. She seems happy enough, but she gets hungry before 3 hours is up. Normally she would go 3-4 hours between bottles. Now she's every 2 1/2-3 hours. But she did sleep through the night two nights in a row! Woo Hoo!! :) She'll be 3 months on Friday. Maybe an early teether?? She has all the symptoms of teething. I don't know what her deal is. She's just weird. LOL Her head/neck is doing a lot better, but she still favors the right side. She can hold her head up really well when she lays on her belly, but only for a minute or two, she gets annoyed being on her stomach. She's trying to roll over and it makes her mad because she can't. LOL Oh the joys of a 3 month old. But really, she is a good baby. The other three are behaving better today. Yesterday was the day from hell. Seriously. Ugh. They're outside playing in the kiddie pool we have. Jesse & Jordan were playing Barbies in the basement and I told them to go outside, but Jordan wanted to play Barbies outside and Jesse said "I'll play Barbies in the basement ONLY" ... ROFL ... he doesn't want anyone to see him playing Barbies with his sister outside!!! LOL!!! I'm feeling better ... I still feel a bit dizzy, but not as bad as yesterday. Ugh, that was awful!! I think its my allergies. We live next to a field and who knows whats growing in it. Gas prices need to go down. NOW. I'm going to write the govt a threatening letter. :P

ugh

I feel sick. I have a headache and I'm really dizzy. It came on suddenly. I don't know why, it's not hot in here. And really nauseous. UGH Jonah is being a right pain today. I hope he's not getting sick. He seems to get really naughty and grumpy when he's getting sick. Maybe too much warmth over the weekend? It was so hot on saturday, but we went swimming at Grandma Glass's anyway. Plus the 3 older ones went to the zoo on Friday. Maybe it was just too much for him? He wears out easily. Don't you just love my music? ROFL ... although for some stupid reason IE keeps prompting me to download active x on my page. I have it set to accept all active x .... but it's still prompting me because of my mp3. Weird. Yo ho, yo ho! A pirate's life for me. Hehehehehee ... In other news, I think Jaylen is teething.

{ flies, farms & shaving }

Found out just how very white my legs are - and fat. I shaved ... then put on shorts. Oh my. I got bit by a black fly and it hurt! :( The kids were out riding their bikes and they came back all excited to tell me they found a farm. Apparently at the back of the neighborhood there is someone that lives on a farm and their driveway comes out to the cul-de-sac that is a street over from us. The kids thought it was a road so they drove their bikes down it. I told them that I'd go out with them when Jaylen woke up. I realized once we got there that it was a driveway and not a street. LOL! And sure enough there is a farm back there ... over a little bridge and behind some wooded area. Hay, cows, horses ... farmy farm stuff. Lampposts too, Jonah was calling it Narnia. It was neat, but I felt like we were trespassing so we didn't get real close. Its warm out. I had lunch today. Woo! Ham sandwich and an apple. I hardly ever eat lunch. Patch & Kayla are back on DOOL! Yay!! 'Cept I haven't watched since the monsters have been home 4 summer. :( I miss AI .... So You Think You Can Dance is just not a good substitute. :P

Going out of town this weekend for our family reunion (Mom's side) ... hopefully I'll have some fun pictures to post when we get back. Have a great weekend!! :)

fishy fishy

Jesse's fish died. :( No memorial service. The kids have been out of school for almost a week and I think I'm going insane. I banned the word "bored" but instead they say "I don't know what to do," ... I'm not an entertainer! This isn't a celebrity cruise here, friends. :P And I have a headache ... but I think its the weather. Well, that and the kids. Hehehehe.
