Where was I again?

TEACHBROECK On 12:59 PM

Oh yes I just about to upload pictures, online shop and read all my Bloggies...when all of sudden IT HAPPENED.........I, teachbroeck, the anal of all clean bees, the mother who threatens near death if ANYONE have food or beverage near MY computer....spilled KOOLAID on the Laptop....(I hate Koolaid but it was the only thing to mix with my VODKA ....see now you understand!) So a week later and 137 bucks we are back in business!



Anyway busy as all getout....sick sick sick...like fever out of my mind sick....



Trying to online shop whilst at work...not good.....have a big order to put in today.



I never want to hear the word DEER or HUNT in the same sentence again!



I will be reading shortly...there is rumor of an AWARD? I am an award VIRGIN! Leave it to Nelly to pop my cherry!









We have been letting the dog INside the house, he actually slept IN our bedroom and not in the kennel for the first tme las tnight..it is going well. he has calmed down and likes to be around people. BUT this is one of his many antics to try to get let in.

I did a 6 month shoot with Baby J and a cousin shoot for Grandma























And here because I love him to death...his Buck. Whatev.

Happy Sunday!

6 months

TEACHBROECK On 7:16 AM




As usual your mother is a little late ....

ON the 9th you turned 6 months...from 3-6 months is such a huge jump...but in the back of my mind I know 6 to 8 months is a leap too.


YOU LOVE:

-TO EAT! Cereal...with veggies. We just started with apples or bananas in the morning.

-To sit at your highchair.

-To watch the dog and cat.

-To roll!!! I waited all this time for a back to tummy roll and you just kept right on rolling ........

-BE held...and "climb" us!

-Jammie time...

-To laugh and smile when people talk to you

-Stare at our blue cups


Things that are changing:

-Since your shots and ear infection you wake up to eat at night

-I can't rock you to sleep anymore....you get too excited and overstimulated...the last 3 nights we just give you a bottle and let you lay in your crib...then rub your back and sooth you to sleep. You settle down much more quickly and sleep better....it saddens your mother though...I LOVED rocking you to sleep.

-The swing and bassinet went back to Grandma's

-You actually drink less formula because you are a good eater



DAYCARE! SO HAPPY TO START AT OUR DAYCARE THIS WEEK.


No more washing, packing, unpacking bottles, food, formula, cereal....L has it all!!! You come home clean and happy. She awake and ready when we get there...it is her job...it is such a warm, educational environment. L is so smart and patient I didn't worry one second the first day.


I see 8 month olds that we know and the are eating REAL FOOD! SITTING! CRAWLING!

Length: 29 inches
Weight: 17 1/2 inches
You are so strong, but sitting is not quite stable yet...
I love you and we enjoy every minute of your changes and smiles.




This is what 4 shots and an ear infection look like

Starting to get cold!

Tears of JOY

TEACHBROECK On 6:20 AM

I sent out the picture on yesterday's post of Baby J to my friends and family...just a happy FRIDAY kinda of email...I like to sent pictures to those that don't see him much.

One of the emails I sent out was to the daycare we are trying to get into.

I still consider her my good friend and she took PRIME care of Kdog. None of this is her fault we are waiting on a technicality.

Here was her response via email:

Cute pic! I'm done waiting.....so whenever YOU'RE ready.......

I am so happy...I am off to go shopping and flirting with my husband !! Thank you for thoughts and prayers!




Should I bother?

TEACHBROECK On 12:29 PM

I feel bad I don't update much.... work, sleep, clean...love on my kids...it is consuming but I LOVE IT...even with the small bumps in the road with daycare and my X I can't control it. But when I look up from pouting -I have so much in front of me that I want to savor, cherish and kiss on. Sounds soooo cliche' but I have to start sucking up all the goodness out there or I will consume myself with CRAP!

Anywhooo sorry I went all Oprah on you.


I am not sure I should keep truckin with TEACHBROECK...I only have a few readers, and I love to read each and everyone of your blogs, but maybe it is time to shut er down with my boring, infrequent posts.




WE shall see...(please don't see this as a plea for people to pet my pride and ask me to keep it up...just thinking outloud!!)




Okay I usually leave the TRYING OUT stuff to Jenn, but I happen to try this since I have been counting calories at CALORIECOUNTER .




BAD!!! It tasted like the crap you find in the bottom of the sink drainer after Thanksgiving dishes. (well I would guess that is what it taste like) I was so excited to have such a big bowl of soup with no meat be so low in calories.. BLECK! I threw it away and ate a twinkie.



K is off with a friend for our half day ( I still have to "work") Then she is off to an indoor game place and her dad will pick her up from there. I suppose it will be a reunion with the X and all will go back the way it was....o'well.



Jdog and I are off to the MALL OF AMERICA!!! We bought a hotel room near there at a silent auction. We are giving up our VEGAS trip ( too much out of pocket expense ) and spending the cash we won on the kids. We get a night away, nice dinner and drinks so we all win!!!





HAPPY WEEKEND!

VOTEYLICOUS

TEACHBROECK On 6:03 PM

AMEN for FREEDOM!

TEACHBROECK On 6:10 PM

Today:

K dog's dad emailed me that he is getting back with KANTFACE. After my parents and I helped him get out of her house and I took K on all his weekends so he could "get situated" Last week he could not pick her up because he drank after work...this week he is using GOD as his excuse to a sudden clear mind. I told him I wish I could take K FAR AWAY from such a selfish, shallow person. Damn we had been getting along so well (hmmmmmmmm he moves out we get along)Whatev be miserable. Thanks for putting K though emotional confusion.

And my daycare is bailing on me. Here I ago again...

BUT BUT BUT I give you my sanity....somebody thought he was KINGPIN in his new throne.

Halloween Hangover Funeral Flu

TEACHBROECK On 6:13 AM

Halloween was so fun! And Exhausting! But so fun! Both kids dressed Halloweeny for the day.


Kdog ended up going as Rachel Ray.



Baby J was our little pumpkin of course!



After a long day of school festivities, Jdog, Baby J and I headed to Jdog's grandma's wake. She passed away last Wednesday. It was sad, but she dearly missed her husband that passed 2 years before. She lived a good,long life filled with dedicated children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and even 3 great-great- children. WOW! What a legacy.
After the wake we rushed back to T or T with the kids and visit some special friends. Finally it was off to the annual kids' Halloween party at my friend's restaurant. It is so awesome to have a band, games, and prizes JUST for the kids.




Here is Baby J with my friend who owns the restaurant and watches him on Fridays.



Da fam...I actually don't look like I had lost my mind at this point.


TRICK OR TREAT!


Lastly we went to G &G s house to relax and hang out...


So tuckered out....
