Tea for two . . .

So I woke up feeling eh today. I had to take Aiden down to the hospital because the area around his stoma had gotten worse, come to find out his has a yeast infection around the whole stoma site, and all under where the adhesive is for his ostomy bag. Well, the boys had give Kyle a rough time last night and he just wasn't able to comfort Aiden since Aiden was being a mommas boy. So Kyle brought Aiden up to me at 2:30am and I had been up ever since. I tried to get some shut eye at like 8am, so I set my alarm, and slept right through it. I had to be down at the hospital at 11, and I woke up at 9:40. UGH. Aiden still needed to be fed, and I needed a shower. So Kyle fed the boys and I took my shower and then I was on my way. When I got home I was exhausted and I told Kyle I was going to take a nap, for him to wake me a little before he left for work if I didn't wake myself. Well, at like 4:15 I heard the front door open and close, and I heard his car start up and drive away?!?!?!?! I wrapped myself in my comfy security blanket and came downstairs. I didn't hear the boys, but I heard EmmaJeans dog tags and thought she was getting into something. To my surprise, Erin love was here. Just sitting on my couch with a big smile on her face. When I get into a funk, like I have been the last few days, I usually don't like company, I don't reply to emails, I don't answer my phone, I don't answer my door. But here she was... sitting on my couch, there was no way I could turn her away. At that second when I saw her, I felt a warmth come over me. It was love. God love you Erin. Not only did she come to see me, but she brought me a present.
Oh a present!

Two of her tea cups, two saucers, two tiny tea spoons, a tea ball, two tiny candles, a cute basket, and a jar of sassafras! She shared her tea set sassafras, and her love with me this afternoon when I woke up. How nice to have a friend that will go out of her way to make you smile. I love you Erin <3

Hibernation

I am in day 2 of my hibernation. Eh, I can not say if it has done any good though. If you have called, text, or emailed me and I haven;t gotten back to you, it is only because it is hard for me to talk when I am in this fink that I am in. I haven't been in a funk this bad since the death of my mom finally hit me. My ob gave me some meds and prescribed some other things... I am going to start therapy within the next week. So we will see where it goes. I will try to get back to people as soon as I feel better.

...

Not sure on what is going on, I am just not feeling myself... I think I need to hibernate for a few days. Yeah, that is what I am going to do.

The only way to keep them quite...

Is it because they love one another or is it because the one can't breath?

Frugal Kitten is on the prowl!

Thanks to Tracy I have been looking everywhere with ways to help save money for our household of 5 with only one income.

Make your own baby wipes!

Recipe 1
You will need:

• 10 cup container (ex: rubbermaid w/lid, or an old baby wipe container that has been washed in soapy water)
• 1/2 roll of Bounty paper towels
• 2 tbs of baby oil
• 2 tbs of baby bath
• 2 cups of water

Cut roll of Bounty paper towels(they are the strongest) in half, remove center cardboard, mix liquid ingredients, pour on top of paper towels, pull first towel up. Each roll of towels makes 2 containers of wipes, which lasts aprox. 3 weeks.

I have found that if I let them sit for about 1 hour all the liquid has enough time to absorb the entire 1/2 roll. Bounty expands when wet and the other brands seem to shrivel up. Remember do not shake the liquid, it will foam up.

---

Recipe 2
No more expensive baby wipes! Here is a great recipe.

• 1-roll of Bounty paper towels cut in half & cardboard removed
• 2-cups water
• 2-Tablespoons each baby bath and lotion
• 1-plastic bowl (ex: rubbermaid w/lid, or an old baby wipe container that has been washed in soapy water)

Bring water to boil and add baby bath and lotion. place one half of paper towel roll into plastic container, and pour solution over paper towels. Once cool, pull your "wipes" from the center of the roll. keep sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation.

These baby wipes are much better on your babies bottom since some brand wipes can have chemicals that can irritate skin.

Accomplishment

I have a feeling of accomplishment. Yeah yeah, there is a hunky guy in the picture, but I really like these posters... But I really do have a sense of accomplishment today. It started off pretty rocky, but from there it was pretty great! I only have 3 more loads of laundry to do... thats it! Three! I am so flabbergasted that I only have 3 loads of laundry left! WOW! i don't have any dirty dishes in my sink, nor do I have any clean dishes in the dish drainer. Who knew you are supposed to empty that thing when the dishes dry, not just when you need to make room for more dishes? I have swept and mopped all of my rooms! Even my room! I have folded and put away all of the laundry (except for Adam's that is his job). I mean I put them away away, not just throwing them in a drawer away! I even made dinner for myself! I made chicken and rice! WOW!! Only 3 loads of laundry left, that is amazing! I can't get over that! OH! I even did my Yoga! Kyle was wonderful and got me a Yoga set complete with DVD, ball, yoga brick, stretching band, and mat. I was super excited! The boys have been amazingly good (knock on wood). I have learned these last few days that when they are sleeping I have to keep them separate. Oh well right? If they get sleep we get sleep! Only one of them managed to slow me down a smidge when he threw up on me... I don't even remember what baby it was because I am so happy right now lol. Amazing, today is amazing!

Mommy

This is my mother on her wedding day. I recieved a package in the mail yesterday from my Aunt Eckie. She is a wonderful woman. She is my grandma Thelma's sister. There were handmade blankets for the boys and an album full of pictures... this was one of them. It made me cry to see it again. My father has all of my mothers things. Including wedding pictures like these, and it wasn't even his wedding! UGH. But none the less, I have a copy again. I love you mommy.

Tastyness (yes it is a word)

Again with a food post. I am obsessed with Slim Jims! Even though the second ingredient is mechanically separated chicken. That just sounds painful.


Poor chickens.

New obsession

Yes Tonni you should go and grab the garbage can I am about to start talking about cottage cheese again. :) I don't know why but for lunch the last 3 days and for dinner tonight the only thing that sounds good is cottage cheese, hot dogs and CranberryGrape juice. Now tonight at dinner I not only had one plate like the one pictured below... but I had two. Yikes!



There are updates on the boys... go have a look see one their site

You know.... I really love my friend Erin <3

This is my dear friend Erin. I love her to death... here are a few reasons that made me love her more lately....

Well, I noticed when she did my dishes (Yes she did my dishes! That is reason number one out of 1,986,136,236 reasons I love her) she wasn't letting my water run while she was scrubbing my dishes. She just simply set them in the other sink (we have a double sink) and then all at once she rinsed them. DUH Why have I not done this all the years of doing my own dishes? I could of saved us so much mula! Erin, thank you!



This is another reason I love her. She brought us some sassafras tea last week. I so forgot how much I love tea. Well today was kind of a drab day and Kyle skipped classes, and we have both been having sore throats lately and he got down our dusty tea kettle and boiled water and made the both of us tea <3 Mint Magic mmmmmm lovely!


I found this wonderful stuff at Walgreens while I was waiting for my prescriptions to be filled. Can I say WOW! Love in a bag, it truly is love in a bag.

Back to Erin, she is so wonderful! She gives me sanity and loves my family and I for us, not who some people want us to be. I love you Erin!

Seriously though

Why must Nate scream bloody murder like he is on fire? He screams when I hold him, he screams when he is laying down, he screams when he is eating today. UGH UGH UGH! I am at the end of ideas right now. Aiden? Yeah he is as sweet as pie right now... looking around (well not seeing anything but still looking) being a good little man.

Wordless Wednesday....

Nate and his soft

Nate just adores this little Panda that Tonni and Kevin gave the boys for their birthday! He cracks us up with it. Cuddles it, loves on it, tries to eat it, and even smiles at it. I think this is going to be the thing that he carries for life... his "teddy".

Conversations with Adam

While Kyle is making dinner (because he loves me sometimes, he is making marinated steak)....

Adam "That chicken looks good...."

This is something we have been battling with him is trying to know the difference in meat by taste smell and sight.

SO I grabbed his mouth like you would a doll to make them say something...

Adam "Chicken, Steak, Pork...."

Giggles all around...

Adam "What I can't tell the difference between all the meats. Is it Goat?"

W O W

Conversations with Adam

Adam: "Mom did you realize that my birthday is 5 days after Jesus's birthday?"
Me: "Yes Adam I did notice that a time or two."
Adam: "Why did you only notice it a time or two?"
Me: "I should of had two more of you."
Adam: " HA HA Mom, you did have two more."
Me: "Yes but they are not just like you."
Adam: "Yeah that's right, they are much worse."

Whoa! Sounds just like something my mother would of said to me. No they are not like Adam they are going to be far worse. (Insert tons of giggles and a few tears here) I love and miss you Mommy.

Lord

Lord,

Please give me patience today, I am going to need it.

Poppy seeds, Sunday, and throat...

Just a note, poppy seeds are the same as sunflower seeds and peanuts in the end. TMI I know but I suffered so bad this morning, Kyle thought he was going to have to stay home.

Tree63 - Sunday

Nothing’s sacred, the days are cheap
Truth is thin on the ground
Still our prophets are crucified
Nobody believes we’re stumbling
It’s Friday, but Sunday is coming

Someone’s saying a prayer tonight
For hungry mouths to be filled
Someone kneels in the dark somewhere
And darkness is already crumbling
It’s Friday, but Sunday comes

Sunday – Hallelujah – it’s not so far, it’s not so far away
Sunday – Hallelujah – it’s not so far, it’s not so far away

Broken promises, weary hearts
But one promise remains:
Crucified, he will come again
It’s Friday, but Sunday is coming
It’s Friday, but Sunday is coming

Sunday…

I really like this song. It makes me smile knowing that Sunday is truly always right around the corner. And He is coming... He is coming.

So on top of my belly being all messed up this morning my throat started hurting too. Not too sure on what it is, but all I have had today has been water and cough drops, it hurts to eat. I CAN'T EAT! I am sure I will post more later.. right now I am trying to just hang out and talk to some friends... that is much needed after the screaming meme's behind me

Baking and couch surfing

So today has been odd... it all started at 3:30 a.m. when Kyle came up and cuddled with me <3. He got both boys asleep in their pack n play and thought he would come and spend some time with me. 6:30 a.m. on the nose Aiden was screaming his head off. So I went down (since it was truly my shift any ways) and he was in actual tears. I picked him up tried to console him.. but no. Mom was not good enough. So I went to grab his bottle to warm it, but I had to lay him in his swing since I need more than one hand to make the bottle since it had meds and such (God if you ever think of re-making humans... please add an extra set of arms. Thanks.). So I warmed his bottle and made his meds, then he ate. He burped. Then he started screaming again. So we laid down on the couch and hung out for a bit, he finally stopped and we went to sleep. 7:30a.m. comes around and Adam Ant wakes up.

Adam-"Morning Mom"
Me- "Morning Adam. Don't forget to eat breakfast, pack your bag for Nonnies, brush your teeth and take your vitamin."
Adam- "Uhhhh Ok."
A few minutes later....
Adam- "Mom, what is there for breakfast?"
Me- "Their is cereal and oatmeal in there."
Adam- "But mom I don't want either of those, can't I have toast?"
Me- "Sure let me pry Aiden off my chest (he was really sweaty) and I will come make it." Adam- "But how long is it going to take you? Doesn't it take a while to make bread?"
Me- "Adam we have bread in here."
Adam- "Oh"

My goodness what am I going to do with 3 boys? Help!

At 8:33 a.m. (Adam's bus comes around 8:40-8:45.)

Adam- "Bye mom I love you.
Me- "Adam where is your bag for Nonnies?"
Adam- "What bag?"
Me- "The bag I told you to pack about an hour ago, did you brush your teeth?"
Adam- "Ugh no, you didn't tell me to. Hold on."
Me- (Deep breaths) "Adam go brush your teeth take your vitamin and I will pack your bag since you guys have to drop by here after school to grab it."

A few minutes later...

Adam- "Bye mom"
Me- "Did you take your vitamin?"
Adam- "MOM, you didn't tell me to."
Me- "Adam stop and listen to me please"

Every time he talked to me today he was very antsy (Kinda mean but that is why we call him Adam Ant, he is always antsy), but that last time he was moving back in forth like I do when I hold one of the boys, you know that mom sway?

Me-"Go take your vitamin, you are going to be late for your bus."
Adam-"OK, uuuggghhhh."
Adam- "(chew chew) Bye mom."

I grab him by his arm and pull him over to me.

Me- (almost in tears) "I love you Adam, have a great day at school and I will see you when you come by to get your bag. I love you."

Wiping off the kiss he walked out the door and got on the bus. I truly think he has ADD or ADHD. That was the one thing I forgot to talk to his doctor about a week and a half ago when we went. It breaks my heart knowing that this is why he forgets things, this is why he is starting to fall behind in school. This is part of my stress. Kyle had told him last night at dinner to stand still while Kyle talked to him, and it looked like it was about to kill him to stand there without moving. God love him. He needs help, but not meds... I refuse.

So today has been pretty productive... I did 5 loads of laundry, did the dishes... twice, made bottles, made more formula, mopped, and made muffins. Shut up I know! I made muffins! Granted they were a mix in the box.. but whatev.
Before :
(Yes I ate one right after it came out of the oven, what kind of woman do you think I am?)

After:

(I am a hungry woman)

Actually the real reason is, it has just been one of those days. I have noticed with my stress I eat more. I am stressed. I mean at 4 p.m. when Aiden woke up to eat, I changed his diaper like i always do before I feed him... and there was a brown streak. Almost like he was trying to poop. WHAT? For those of you who don't know, Aiden has an ostomy and he has a bagged hooked up to it that he poos in. So how can it be that he as a brown streak in his diaper? So I called the doctors office, and all the doctors were in patient rooms. So I left a message with the nurse and she said a doctor would call me. Dr. Peltier is not in today, so I knew it would have to be a doctor on call. Well the doctor on call called me and was stumped. She said lets wait for his next bottle, see if he takes it, and then we will go from there. He took his next bottle (all 4 oz of it!) with no problems. So when she called back I told her that he seemed fine. So she said for me to call his surgeon tomorrow morning and find out from him. As long as he is not running a fever, vomiting, lethargic, etc. she said he would be fine. So he is now asleep and he seems fine. So we will call the surgeon early since I have to be down there tomorrow with him anyways because of his eye appointment.

This is where the couch surfing comes in... Nate when you lay him backwards in his Boppy... he snuggles all the way down into the Boppy.. this time he just happened to almost slip off the couch.. yes I was right there and he wouldn't off fallen.

Prayers for Logan

The little guy in green is Logan. The picture right next to it is Logan and his twin brother Lucas. Their mother and I have been very good friends since we were pregnant. We both were due around the same time, within a week of one another. As you all know our boys were 3 months early and hers were only a month early. They had NO NICU stay! Praise God! But little Logan was born with a mass under his right breast. SO today he is under going surgery to take out that mass. Father we pray to you that you pull him through this surgery and his long recovery.

Wordless Wednesday

How you live

One of my favorite songs right now is by Point of Grace and it is called How you live:

Wake up to the sunlight with your windows open
don't hold in your anger or leave things unspoken
wear your red dress, use your good dishes
make a big mess and make lots of wishes
and have what you want but want what you have
and don't spend your life looking back

Turn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all out
'cause you won't regret it
Looking back from where you have been
'cause it's not who you knew
And it's not what you did
it's how you live

So go to the ball games and go to the ballet
go see your folks more than just on the holidays
kiss all your children, dance with your wife
tell your husband you love him every night
don't run from the truth, 'cause you can't get away
just face it and you'll be ok

Turn up the music
turn it up loud
take a few chances
let it all out
'cause you won't regret it
looking back from where you have been
'cause it's not who you knew
and it's not what you did
it's how you live

Wherever you are and wherever you've been
now is the time to begin

So give to the needy and pray for the grieving
even when you don't think that you can
'cause all that you do is about to come back to you
so think of your fellow man
make peace with God, make peace with yourself
'cause in the end, there's nobody else

Turn up the music
turn it up loud
take a few chances
let it all out
'cause you won't regret it
looking back from where you have been
'cause it's not who you knew
and it's not what you did
it's how you live

When will I make time for

Reading. I miss reading. So the last few nights when my "shift" is up, I have been going up stairs and reading when I should be sleeping. But I looked at my list of books to read ( the public library's website has a nifty idea to where you can keep a list of books you want to read and then order them at your leisure) and I realized how long my list really is! But when I have down time I honestly want to just sleep. Sleep that's all I want. I feel bad when Kyle comes home from work and I rush literally rush upstairs so I can go to bed in peace. God love my little guys but it is hard not to rip out my hair today for some reason. But now, they are sleeping peacefully in their boppys and what am I doing? Emailnig and blogging. Lame.

I often forget that I love peanut butter

Today at church.. I felt differnt. I felt like I knew what I was talking about. We had our first dive into our new book When Gods People Pray. It really made me think how much prayer has really impacted our family. God has been so good to us and sometimes I forget to stop and thank him. But I know every time I hear one of the boys cry or change a diaper, it is His work. His work.

Short post....long night

2nd night of late shift...

I woke up tonight to Kyle kissing me on my forehead telling me to take my time coming down stairs. All I heard was screaming. By the tone... I could tell it was Aiden. I got down here and Kyle was still trying to feed Aiden... from 2:30a.m. Aiden had woke up a half hour early and was starving lol so Kyle went ahead and tried to feed him and an hour and a half later he was still trying to get him to take his bottle. Granted he had taken most of it.. but not all of it. He just smiled and said "Get them to sleep and go back to bed baby." So I put their paci's in their mouths and laid them down.. and it was easy as pie. It sometimes just takes a mommy to do the job.

Today is Friday and we have Aiden's eye appointment. Kyle is able to go with me which is good since the important appointments he has not been able to go to something has always gone wrong (when we found out we had TTTS, the day the admitted me to the hospital etc.). Prayers are in full force for our little guy. We found out that if he has to have eye surgery, they will need to keep him over night in the NICU for observation since he has to go under anesthesia.

So I am off to sleep since it is quite.... for once. God love them.

First 3 a.m. shift . . .

So we are trying this new shift thing out. Once Kyle gets home from work, or on the days he doesn't work, I am going to bed around 10 p.m. He will then wake me up at 3 a.m. and I will take over while he sleeps. I can catch some shut eye while down here on the couch since the boys usually fall back to sleep for a bit after their 3 a.m. feeding. So far it seems to be ok with me.... ask me in a week how it is working though. We plan on giving it a full weeks course before we make any decision on if this is going to work for us or not. It is nice though, it is just me and the little men this early in the a.m. I am able to catch up on my emails, blog, and fold laundry! Which was in deed something that I have been putting off since Tuesday. This also gives me time to get my yoga in! I don't like doing yoga when Kyle or Adam are up. That is my time. Plus I don't want to be made fun of.

We had or first outing as a family yesterday... Yeah it was all peachy until we were about to leave Meijers.... Kyle had purchased a new propane tank (because he loves me and I have been craving ribs, and the only real way to have ribs is on the grill don't you know?) and he had to wait for the attendant to get the new tank and then I was supposed to meet him at the front doors so he could get the old tank out and get the new tank and then we could go home. Well while Adam was trying to get in the car (mind you I have a very small backseat space, and with both of the boys car seats being in there it makes it even smaller) he accidentally hit Aiden's car seat lap belt release thing.... and his car seat base went side ways. Oh wow. I flipped my lid and I feel so horrible about it. I had both Nate and Aiden in my arms (in their car seats) and now I have a car seat base undone and Kyle still in the store waiting for the new propane tank. I went around the car to put Nathaniel in his spot. (Yes they have spots.... I am weird. But in case of a car accident I will know who is on what side and if God forbid something would happen I would be able to tell whom ever what baby is on what side, call me paranoid... but I feel better them being on their own sides!) So ok, I put Nathaniel in his spot and then I went back around to the passenger side of the car, put Aiden's car seat in the front seat so I could use both of my hands... let me tell you people were looking at me crazy when I put that car seat up front. Like I was going to leave him there! So I told Adam to get out of the car so I could fix Aiden's seat. Now when we had the car seats put in, Children's Hospital installed Nathaniel's seat and Sycamore Township Fire Department installed Aiden's to make sure that they were properly installed. So I kinda freaked. What if I don't put it in correctly and we crash? I know I am irrational. But I am a new mother of two precious God sent gifts that if it was my fault of the car seat base not being installed properly and something were to happen I could NEVER live with myself after that. So Adam proceeded to get out of the car and he wasn't being the fastest so I kind of got a little snippy and asked him to move it along. He got out, completely undid the base and then started putting it back in... Commence twin crying. Yes they really do help each other cry. I continued to re install the base, thought I was finished told Adam to get in so he did. Then as he was buckling I was watching him to make sure he didn't unhook the base again, thats when I noticed that I didn't put the slack of the seat belt through the base again, so if I were to try and put the actual car seat in, it wouldn't go because tha seat belt that goes up to the roof of the car was in the way! OH MY GOODNESS. So I yelled at Adam to get out of the car. Why did I yell? It wasn't his fault that I didn't install the seat properly. I am not sure I was still freaking out. My hands were so cold that a few of my knuckles had started to bleed because of them being dry and from trying to fit the base in I had hit my hands a few times too many. Adam then got out of the car and I started to re-reinstall the car seat base. Then Nathaniel got dramatic... stopping a little in between not catching breaths. Then Aiden did the same thing. Then it got quite on Nathaniel's side of the car... so I ran literally ran to the drivers side of the car opened up the door and saw Nathaniel with his mouth wide open in mid cry not breathing. His face started to turn very red... then slightly blue. I said a few choice words and started crying. I couldn't unhook his car seat from the base for some dumb reason so I did what they told me in the hospital, I blew lightly on his face.... he started breathing screaming but breathing! Thank God. But then I noticed that it was deafeningly quite in the front seat all of a sudden. Frantically I ran to the passenger side and threw open the door hit the cart corral with the door, and then saw that Aiden as well was turning blue. I did the same thing I did to Nathaniel.... But it was not working. I was now crying so much it was hard for me to breath. I was yelling at Adam to help me, but how could he help me? I went to reach for my phone but then remembered that Kyle had left his phone at the house so it would do no good to call him. What was taking him so damn long in the store? It was a simple propane exchange! Then as I was reaching in the car seat to grab Aiden out, he let out a few small gasps of air... then screamed louder than I have ever heard him scream. Music to my ears! Then it went to a whimper... and he was done. Just like that. Nathaniel was as quite as a mouse.. no peeps form him anymore. Mean while poor Adam is standing there like a deer in head lights. He had no idea what to do. I finished re-reinstalling the base told Adam to get in, locked Aiden into place and started walking over to my side of the car. I went to open my door and thats when Kyle walked up empty handed. They didn't have any propane. LOL W O W. He asked what was wrong, I briefly told him. Then I said for your sanity and mine you should hand me a piece of chocolate from that bag your holding. The car ride home was spent with me profusely apologizing to Adam eating a chocolate and praying to God that my boys forget how evil I was during the whole ordeal.

Wordless Wednesday (after sleepless nights, this is what we have brought ourselves to do)

New Years Resolutions. . .

Life isn't meant to be lived between the entrapping lines of the pause symbol. You were born in motion, and everything around you is changing and moving. The world does not wait for anyone and so some of us fall to the way side thinking it will. Stagnate and dull is not what life is about, follow the path that brings you happiness and vitality; and that brings you the external revenue from the passion within.

Resolutions

1. Get to know my maker even more

2. Have more patience with my kids

3. Become more organized

4. Fit back into my pre-twins jeans

5. Blog more often ( kinda lame but it helps me keep my thoughts fluid)

Elvis has left the building

Tracy this one is for you... The King does live!!!
