Subject:Baby Blues
Time:12:15 pm
Current Mood:[mood icon] sleepy
Last night baby was a bit of a terror.  She had a good afternoon.  There was no unstoppable crying all day.  We hoped that maybe we were going to have a free day.  Then we put her into her crib at about 11:30 and the "fun" started.  She started a yowl and calm down.  this continues for like 3 hours.

So last thursday night I went into labor and at about 1pm friday I had an 8.2, 21 inch baby girl named Stefania.  There has been a lot to learn so far.

I think I've had another baby thing happen today but it is kinda gross so that's all I'm going to say about it.  It means I'm getting there.

Current Mood:[mood icon] worried

Bank of America totally screwed us over again with the help of AT&T.   We were behind on over bill this month so on the 1st we sent in a check for about half of what we owed.  We thought they took it out in that pay period but no.  They just took it out.  Which totally screwed us up for this paycheck and the next.  Thanks to the overdraft on everything that came out after AT&T screwed us up we won't get much out of the next check either.  If we need groceries I guess we can sell some movies and games but I dunno what to do about the rest.  I'd talk to mom and maybe she and dad would help out a little but I guess she's got a  meeting or something 'cause I haven't been able to talk to her at all today.  I guess I could call dad.  He's got a cell phone and apparently has it on but he has it on to hear when I've gone into labor and I don't want to get his hopes up like that.  I guess we can oh i don't know.

Today is my 37 week OB appointment.  It is the last of the two week appointments.  Next  I will be seeing the nurse-midwife every week.  Then this friday we have a shift at aadd (airman against drunk driving).  Then Saturday we have a baby class.  I don't think its exactly lamaze but its something like that.  I have to go thru my recipes because we are supposed to bring a  snack to share.  Ryan found out something cool about one of his co-workers.  There is another pagan family in the office.  One of the couples gave us an aloe plant as a baby shower gift.  It turns out that they are the pagan parents.  Its kinda cool 'cause they are older and might be able to give us tips on raising kids in the religion.

Subject:shots
Time:12:58 pm
Current Mood:[mood icon] good

So Skye had her annual shots today.  She only needed her distemper this time.  Next time she will only need to get her rabies updated.  She won't need to get her distemper again until 2011.  She'll be around 7 years old by then.  Hopefully Missifits will still be with us.  Tommorrow is my three hour sugar test.  The worst part is I'm going to have to sit in the waiting room that whole time.  It probably could be more boring but I don't exactly see how.  I have to fast for at least 12 hours but that time is when I'm asleep mostly.

Current Mood:[mood icon] crappy
Yesterday I took a sugar test for diabetes.  I apparently did not pass the test.  Now I have to take something called a 3 hour sugar test.  I think its basically the same thing but more complicated.  I guess  I never mentioned mom's diabetes to the nurse midwife but I didn't realize how much of a family history there was until mom started trying to get me to take the test recently.  To top things off I have a headache today.  I wonder if that's related somehow.

I am having a very annoying morning.  The paper isn't here yet.  So I can't read the paper and have coffee.  I decided to check my e-mail instead.  I found out that they shipped out dad's phone with a 757 area code.  Since he lives in a whole freakin different state what good does that do him.  I tried calling the stupid "customer care center" for all the good that did.  They wouldn't connect me to a real person.  Of course I had to go through 5 minutes of the idiotic voice recognition software before it told me they are still closed.  Its total BS!   I wanted to get this fixed asap but no dumb computerized system will be able to help.  When they used to be cingular they had 24 hour service.

Subject:last day of school
Time:09:10 am
Current Mood:[mood icon] complacent
Today is the last day of school.  I'm kinda sad.  I'm going to miss some of these kids and Audra as well.  Some of them I will be glad to have seen the last of.  I'm kinda tired 'cause this week has been all half days.  That means a 6hr afternoon shift.  Yesterday wasn't too bad though.  I'm curious to see how many of the kids will be there this afternoon.  We had a fairly low number this morning and less than half of those are kids who go in the afternoon.  I may be going in to help Audra tommorrow if we don't get everything prepared for the summer by tonight.

Current Mood:[mood icon] sad

Mom, Dad and Celeste left this morning.  They will probably get back before I get home from work this afternoon.  My ankle has hurt since last night.  I thought it was some kind of stress related thing but that should have cleared up over night if it was.  I've got to go look for an ankle brace for later.  One postive is that it is either distracting me from my usual acid reflux or maybe I just don't have it today.  There is only one more week of school left.  Its both exciting and kind of sad.  Some of our kids I will miss.

Don't know what's going on with the family right now.  They were supposed to call around 9.5 am  to let me know they were off but so far I haven't heard nothing.  I tried calling and I think mom's cell is still shut off.  When I called Celeste's cell there was a weird error message.  I don't remember exactly how it went.  I am going to go down and sign them in soon.  Of course to do that I wiil have to move Missifits from between my lap and and the laptop.  It is really hard to type with a cat in the middle.  I still have a lot of cleaning to do.  Right now I'm trying to decide if I want to either rest for a while and do it later or do it now and rest later if I have time.

 This morning was kinda nice.  Caity came in to work the morning shift so I got to leave early.  Ryan was still here when I got home.  On PT days he tries to come home and change, ever since he got foot fungus at the public locker room on base.  Now I have an hour and a half before I have to do anything else.  MissFits has her annual vet appointment this morning.  I think the hardest part will probably be getting to and from the car.  She freezes up once she gets to the office.

 So Ryan has off tommorrow, the lucky butt.  We've both got monday off.  He just got back to work after taking 3 days off for his parents visit  Its been a stressful week. The big bosses were supposed to come in and inspect us this week.  So we kept having to have everything perfect for every shift.  I wore a skirt everyday too.  Then they didn't bother to show because all the feedback (inspections and such) was so good.

 Sometimes I wish the family was closer.  Our topic for discussion with the kids this week is birds.  My dad has quite a few bird books that I could have borrowed.  Oh well with the help of the kids librian I found quite a few interesting books.  I'm thinking that I won't be able to get my half of dad's birthday present to mom until friday.  We have the money now but I don't really want dad opening the mail and getting a check before his birthday.  If Celeste has any suggestions on how to get the money to them sooner I'm all ears.

Current Mood:[mood icon] frustrated

So even though Ryan went to play cards this morning I decided I didn't need to take him to get my dad's birthday present.  I went to the BX first to look for the ipod shuffle, maybe some shorts and some pansies to plant in the front yard.  The BX doesn't have the ipod shuffle or hardly any flowers at all.  So I decided to go to walmart 'cause we'd seen the ipod there yesterday and usually they have a good selection of flowers.  They are all out of the ipod shuffle as well.  I'm starting to think that maybe they are no longer making the ipod shuffle.  The shorts I got at the BX are a little big but the shirt  I got seems to fit.  Tommorrow maybe Ryan and I will hit a couple of big box electronic stores but I am done for today.

So Ryan has strep throat.  Work called about lunch time and told him he had to go get checked by a doctor.  Well first he was given and IV because he was dehydrated.   They gave him a shot of antibiotics.  Last time I had strep they gave me pills but it was a long time ago.  He is on quaters for 24 hours.  Which means he has to stay home and not go into work.  He was supposed to go to a class at work tommorrow and already since he's been home Sgt. Clay called to find out when he went on quaters, he might have to go in tommorrow once he goes off them.  Sometimes the military is a major pain in the butt.  Ryan is currently sleeping in the chair next to me so I'm trying not to make too much noise.
There was a car in the neighboring house that has been vacant the whole time we've lived here.  That could mean one of 3 things.  One painters are getting the house ready for someone to move in.  Two someone is moving in.  Or three the people who live in the other half of the house are using the driveway for car overflow.  I kinda hope its new neighbors.

 This going to be a short post because Missi Fits keeps sitting on the keyboard and making weird things happen, like trying to post.  I got another e-mail from Rachael today.  I was starting to wonder since I haven't heard from her in a while but apparently she is busy.   I saw something kinda odd earlier.  A squirrel demolished the cushions on two of my deck chairs.  Luckily they were the older, less comfortable ones.  But I don't know why he had to destroy the fabric.  Maybe something to do with nesting or something but the fabric is beyond saving.

I found this kinda neat thing on astronomy picture of the day today.  Normally I got to the site for new backgrounds but today I found something to take to work.  Its a neat thing for a teaching kinda thing.  Its a selection of lunar eclipses.  Deonna was a big enough pain in the butt today that even Audra was annoyed with her.  She called in sick on a day she knew we needed that third person.  Its a half day today and the school is having an activity in the cafeteria (where we work) and in the gym.  We had to move all our stuff down to a classroom and we need 2 adults for that.  We actually had to call someone in but thats ok 'cause it was a pretty cool guy.

Today is my birthday.  Whee!  I actually got the day off from work today but I really needed it.  This week for some reason the local schools all have half days.  So that means 6 hours a day with the kids all rowdy 'cause they've got a half day.  Monday and Tuesday are days off for the kids and until yesterday I thought for me too.  But yesterday I got volun-told and now I'm work somewhere I've never been for six hours both days.  Whee!  Some days I hate my job.

We're supposed to get snow in Virginia today.  Of course I wish they had predicted it for yesterday since then I could have gotten a day off work.  In the 3 years we've been forced to live here we've never had snow that covered the ground.  Its definetly dreay enough for it.  Also I got my birthday off!  I don't have to work a half day (6 hour) shift on my birthday.  Just the day before and the day after.  Oh well I get a random 4 day weekend the next week.
