Rambling

Yes, I know that I haven't blogged in forever! I'm a busy, busy mommy! So I'll play catch up.

The kids are out of school! I thought I would be really happy about this, but they are trying to see just how tired they can make mommy. They are trying to see who can stay up the latest, which usually is somewhere between 12-1. Then of course the baby gets up anywhere from 6-8. I'm beat! I'm trying my best to change this, but it's not working very well. Although next week we have VBS which is from 9-12. That should do it!

Pregnancy is still going well. I get to go in 2 weeks for another ultrasound, in which I hope to confirm once again that this little one is a boy. My hubby said the other day "Watch us go and that picture from before turn out to be just a shadow". I asked him "A shadow of what"?

My oldest went to church camp the last week of June. We've been to the pool, and the lake. One week we went swimming every day sometimes twice a day. I think my kids are seeing enough water this summer. I'm trying my best to get them good and tired during they day in hopes of early bedtime. It's not working though.

After many HOURS of cleaning on Friday and Saturday. I've decided that I've got to start back on the 15 minute challenges EVERY day! Not only that, but I've got to get a chore chart back up and going for the kids and hubby. I'm not kidding it took me HOURS to clean the living room, and kitchen. I've got a mountain of laundry in the kitchen (as that's where our washer/dryer are located), and clothes all over everyone's bedrooms. It's awful! We moved my 3yr old's bed into my 5 & 6 yr olds room (per her request).

Here is what they (meaning the little kids) did to her room.



After a 15 minute challenge



I will finish it up today. No matter how long it takes. I'm trying to turn that room into a laundry room. Where everyone's clothes are kept in one place. Although not sure how that will work since we have a little boy on the way who will need a place to sleep.

Anyway, that's the run down. Now I must get my booty back to work.

Boy names...Help!

I need some help naming this little boy. I thought it would be easy seeing how we don't have any little boys, but it's really not. I can't have anymore names that start with A for a first name, it's confusing enough already As a middle name is fine, but not a first. I LOVE the name Jack but can't use it or Jackson because of our last name it sounds too much like Jack Sprout. Oh and here are my nephew's names already that I CAN'T use.

Joshua
Cameron
Ryan
Tanner
Patton
Tyler
Elijah

Here are my daughter's name if you want to pick a name you think sounds good with their names.

Isabella
Kaelyn
Natalie
Addison
Avery

Exciting Friday!

Friday I went in for my 12 week ultrasound (actually closer to 13 weeks). I was really excited about seeing my little bean on the screen. The tech did her normal measurements etc. My oldest daughter was with me and asked if she could take a look "down there" and see anything. The tech said she looked, but I don't recall seeing her look.

Anyway, the Dr came in and was super sweet, and friendly. She looked over everything and was talking to a medical student about how all mother's like to see their babies etc. I was saying that I thought it would be another girl seeing how I have 5 already. I told her that I had told my mom I would fall off the ultrasound table if they told me it was a boy. So she says "Then I'm not going to tell you anything cause I don't want you to hurt yourself".

Me: What??

Dr: Well I've never seen that on a girl ultrasound before, and it's not the cord because right here is the cord (lights it up so you can see the blood flow)

Me: Are you kidding me?

Dr: Well the legs are closed so lets see if we can get it to open it's legs. (wiggle the ultrasound thing)BAMM legs wide open that it's a BOY!

So here are the ultrasound pictures (well a few) from my ultrasound.

Laundry strike!

Why on earth did I go on laundry strike last week? To see just how many pairs of underwear everyone had? To see if hubby would wash any clothes, other than his own? I have no idea why I did no laundry (other than a load of towels) last week. Boy oh boy and I'm wishing I did laundry last week. I'm up to my eye balls in laundry this week.

I've got to wash at least enough for the kids to were to school for 3 days and at least enough for our trip. I think my Grandparents would be a little upset if the kids showed up naked. Although they know that a few of mine like to run around in panties, as they witnessed this on their last visit here.

Why is laundry my least favorite job in the house? I have no idea, I mean it's really not too hard. You run the washer, put them in the drier, and then fold them and put them away. Oh there, that's the part I hate folding and putting them away. I swear when we move into the next house, I'm going to have a huge laundry room/closet. We are just going to keep all of our clothes in the one room. Just like the Duggars!

Wouldn't that just be so much easier. You fold it and right there is the place you need to put it away. Oh that would be heaven to me!

What a day!

My day didn't start off the greatest. I found out this morning that my best friends Granny passed away. She had a massive stroke the night before and passed this morning. Such a wonderful woman! I've been thinking of my best friend and her family all day long and it's just so heart breaking. I remember her yummy food, how she always kept us laughing and how she told it how it was. She is going to be really missed! Last time I saw her was 3 years ago and she was in the hospital, but still looked great and still didn't miss a beat baby. Granny you will be missed, even though you are in a better place and we will see you again in the future.

One exciting thing that happen today is that my baby girl Avery got her first tooth. She's really mean about showing it to you though. She's so stinkin cute running her tongue over the spot where the tooth has come through.

Last but not least. To Bella's soccer coach who had me wake up early from a nap, get 5 kids ready, diaper bag packed and everyone loaded up in the van. Only to get to the field to see that you aren't there! We get there 30 minutes early (like you asked) to practice some before the game. I'm finding it a little odd that only my child and another from the team are there. We wait, cause you've been late before so maybe you are running behind. The other team is warming up. I'm sitting and waiting for the rest of our team to show up. The OTHER teams coach comes over to tell me that you call and cancelled the game and he is guessing that you didn't call me. HELL NO, you didn't call me. Thanks a whole freaking lot for calling me to tell me that you planned of rescheduling this game once AGAIN! The other parent you didn't call was pretty pissed also. Seeing how his daughter is on crutches, and showed up to support the team for the game that you rescheduling for the 2nd time. NO, I will not be coming to anymore games you schedule on a Sunday! I'm also really thinking about not showing up for anymore games in which I have to load up my five children and bring them with me. Since you can't call to tell me when a game has been rescheduled I won't be calling you to tell you that we aren't coming either. This is the second time you've called everyone and let them know that a game has been rescheduled and not bothered to call me! So BITE ME!
