It has been a busy few weeks. Two weekends ago, Emily and I did two cookie booths. I have had sick kids in and out of the house for the past MONTH it seems. As we speak, I have Emily home sick. Her dr said it is a Rotovirus. All her little friends at school have had strep. I almost wish it were strep so she could get an antibiotic and then be done with this mess. She has been sick since Sunday and finally seems to be getting better. She is still running a fever but not as bad as her 104 temp two days ago. The first day it was 103. It must have been from our busy weekend.
This past weekend was very eventful. We had a ZooCamp to go to for Girl Scouts. We had 7 girls and 4 adults. On our way up, we saw a horrific accident. We were so close to being in it, it just scares me. A pick up had crossed the median and hit a Sheriff head on. We were five cars behind and saw everything go flying. When we did go around, we saw the body of the sheriff. We had all the girls close their eyes the entire time. I had four girls in my car, 3 who are 9. There was no way I was going to have them see what we saw. Come to find out, he was a K9 and was named deputy of the year last year or the year before. He and his dog were buried together yesterday. Five other cars were in the mess as well. We came so close to being in it that it is scary. Another eerie factor....we remember the deputy passing us minutes before. His wife and three children are in our prayers......
On a happier note, we had a great time at the zoo! We got to go in the elephant and giraffe pen, pet some animals and do a night hike. We slept in a reptile room which disturbed Lizzie. The next day, we toured the zoo. I am getting too pregnant to do this stuff anymore. I swole up really badly and hurt at the end. At least I came home to a clean house! I had cleaned it before I left and my two younger babies and hubby didn't make any messes. I do think I have a UTI though. I was cramping and contracting all day yesterday and the day before. I haven't been feeling good at all. I did get to tour our Labor and Delivery at the hospital I will be giving birth at. WOW! That is all I have to say! The rooms are beautiful!@! Hardwood floors, decorated beautifully and most have a jacuzzi tub in them!! I am so excited to give birth there now. I contemplated giving birth at home in my big garden tub with a midwife but decided a hospital birth would be safer. I just wanted the tub for laboring reasons so now this allows me to stick to what I wanted! I am very pleased! Anywho, off to do some dishes and wait for the nurse to call me back so I can go in and get this fixed!

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Yes, one more thing to complain about! LOL No, for real, it is down right painful sometimes. It has been nagging me for a while now. It had gotten so bad that I just couldn't move my hand. Sometimes at night, my left hand would do that at night. I had my routine appointment this week and they gave me two wrist splints. I wear them both at night and I wear the right one all the time. The thing is, I am left handed. I don't get how my right is worse than my left. I did suffer from tendenitis in that wrist in high school for about a year after All State Band camp. We played a total of eight hours a day for a week straight. (Not all at once but still, playing bass clarinet put strain on my wrist. I also ran into a building on my roller blades on campus the last day.) Hey, at least my hips have not been giving me as much trouble as my last pregnancy. ~knock on wood!~
Story telling catches up with you eventually......
My sister, God love her, claimed her and the ultrasound tech saw a pee pee at her first ultrasound. She then told my mom that they say 'little beans' so to speak. Well, after all that story telling....she is having a girl. I am happy she is having a girl! That means that my niece will have a baby sister to buddy up to, especially with how close they are in age. They are also looking at getting the same van that we have, same year so used. That doesn't bother me. It is the fact that they are trying to buy an $18,000 when they are stuggling to pay things as it is. I mean dang! From what she has told me, his car is in his parents name and is still being paid by them. Her car was like $6000 and they still owe $1500 on it. They will use this for the downpayment. I hope that his credit is enough to get it. From what she has told me, he screwed it up before. I just hope they aren't getting their hopes up too high or that they swamp themselves with more bills they can't handle. You would think they would learn from our early marriage mistakes. The only difference: Mike had a steady job that included health insurance. They do not.
Enough b*tching about family: Nida. Well, we have four adults going along with eight girls because why? My pregnancy according to Nida. How f*cking stupid is she? Two meetings ago, (don't remember if I blogged about it so here it is again) She yelled at the girls in my mid sentence. She has not been a participant of our troop for months and has stepped down as a leader. It was totally uncalled for. To top it off, she gave a girl a stern talking to about her heeley shoes. I had already spoke with the girl earlier and we had worked it out. I tried to get the woman's attentiong but she kept on and on with this girl. The poor girl was mortified and upset and you could see it on her face. I had to finally raise my voice because she was so focused on ignoring me. I told her to stop and that I had already spoke with her about the issue. I sent her an email knowing she would not listen to me if I tried to speak with her. I have tried many times to speak with her about other issues and what happens is, she is always right, doesn't let you get a word in and argues everything that comes out of your mouth. Now we have to have her on this sleep over trip when it is totally unnessessary to have her there. Thank GOD she is not going on our March trip! I could not deal with Miss Know it all there. I know how to camp as well as the other parents. I am camp trained and am NOT going into labor anytime soon. ~knock on wood!~ I always have to be induced and are always a week late. I know my body and will not put us in danger over a camp trip! The killer thing is this trips total, food, site, everything is $175. Her first food bill for the same amount of time was $185 and that wasn't even all of the food or the camp site!! Ridiculous! She will not be leading this troop next year if I have anything to do with it! I will not have these girls hurt because of a spitful, mean witch who obviously does not care for their feelings at all. I may be a stuck up b*tch on my blog sometimes and can be very nasty sometimes but this is my diary and my feelings and my vent spot for everything that runs through my head. I treat those girls with the utmost respect and know how to discipline without hurting their feelings. I get down to their level and try to help them grow as much as possible with the program. I want to connect with them and the other adults positively. Plus, a handful of girls don't have the chance to do certain things that Girl Scouts offers them. One of our girls has never been camping! It will be great to show her how fun it can me.
Ok, I am done now. I have to go and get my two middle kids from school. Two cookie booths this weekend, and drs appointment next week, a sleepover at the zoo, and our labor and delivery tour. It will be busy the next two weeks!
