We have moved
Not sure if anyone still visits here since I haven’t posted in like forever but I’m going to try my hand at blogging again. Come join us at our now spot:
cute kid stuff
Well yesterday while we were eating Glenn told me “Mommy, feed me like a baby, then I’ll be Glenn again.” He has been doing stuff like that a fair amount lately. He will bring me his sippy cup, crawl on my lap and tell me to feed him like a baby. That requires me to get him into the position that you would have a baby when you are bottle feeding them and then hold the sippy cup like a bottle and let him drink.
When he is trying to get away with something or get me to tell him he can have something that he isn’t suppose to have, he will look at me and say, mommy your my best friend. I love you so much! Then he will ask again and if I still say no. Then he will say Mommy aren’t you my friend? It’s so cute and just melts my heart when he ways it. Although it still doesn’t work to get what he wants!
3 posts in a row!
I’m on a roll! 3 posts in 3 days. Although it’s after midnight, so maybe that doesn’t count… Now I’m confusing myself. oh well.
I went to my parents house today and did a photoshot with my sister’s and their kids. It was fun.
This is a family picture of my sister Heather, her husband J.J., and their son Freddie:
My nephew Freddie:

pictures I took on Monday
While at my grandma’s house on Monday, I decided to take advantage of taking some pictures of my little cousins that I don’t get to photograph very often.
This is Bell. She is the older of the 2 girls. She really looks like she don’t feel very good.
And then we have Abby. She’s the younger one. She was running around and playing, and every so often stopped long enough to throw up and then kept right on going. Looking at her you would never know that she had the stomach flu!
Another day without getting sick!
Well I made it another day without catching the stomach flu from Glenn! Yay!
I went to my dr. appt. this morning and don’t have another appt. until the beginning of March. He said that since the constant pain is now gone, we are going to wait and see if the rest will resolve itself. I still feel pain in my lower stomach when I’m doing stuff that uses that area alot or if I’m in certain possisions. But for the most part it is alot better. I’m so glad that the constant pain part is gone and I hope that it doesn’t come back. If the other pain is still there when I go back in March, then he said that they may do another shot, but didn’t want to do another one today, since there can be alot of swelling and bruising with the shots like I had last time.
Our Day
I had been planning on posting more this week since I have the week off work, but it’s not working that way.
I am feeling better. On Monday Glenn and I went to my grandma’s house. Then my Aunt dropped her kids off and so she could go to work. Then she’s like by the way, they both have the flu and have been throwing up all day. How nice! By Tuesday evening Glenn was throwing up. Then on Wednesday he was completely fine and bouncing off the walls. This morning Glenn had a dentist appt. which is an hour and 15 minute drive. When we get about 20 minutes away, Glenn starts throwing up all over the back seat again! So I pulled over and called to see if I could rescedule. They were going to, but told me that since I wasn’t giving them a 24 hour cancelation notice, I would have to have all my future appt. in the other office, which is farther away. I told them that if that’s the case, then I was going to bring him in anyways. After all what did I care if he threw up all over the dentist. I was just trying to be polite so that nobody else got sick. She put me on hold and then came back on and rescedled my appt. for the office that I wanted. Boy it’s amazing how fast they changed their minds! lol.
I’m supose to go to my dr. appt. tomorrow, but I guess that depends on if I have cought the stomach flu or not.
I’m sick!
On christmas day, I thought I was getting sick. I had a really bad headache and my throat hurt, and I have a cold. On Wed. the day after Christmas was really bad. I took the day off work and basically stayed on the couch all day. I wanted to stay in bed, but then I couldn’t keep an eye on Glenn if I was in my bedroom.
On Thursday I though I was feeling a little better, but still not the greatest, so I went to work anyways. I wound up leaving early because I had such a bad headache and was feeling a little bit light headed and dizzy. Then today, I knew there was no way I could take the day off since as it was the girl I was suppose to work with fell and hurt her hip somehow and they were having problems trying to find someone to fill her spot. Plus I had to train in a new kid and that is my job… My stomach was hurting so bad and I was throwing up by the end of my shift. Luckily Forest came in a little early so I could go home. (Forest is working 3rd shift tonight and won’t be home until around 5 am.) He is so sweet! I sure hope that I’m feeling better by Monday, because starting Monday I have a 7 day work week. Loads of fun!!! NOT.
Sorry if it sounds like I’m complaining, I’m really not trying to. It just really sucks being sick.
My new sister
In an earlier post, I told you that my parents were adopting a little girl. Well I finally have some pictures. I went over there last weekend on Saturday to help my parents clean (they had a house fire 2 weeks ago. But luckiny it only damaged the porch/dining room (same room). So we were cleaning the smoke off the cabinets while the guys were resheet rocking.
Anyways here are some pictures of my new sister.
Jessica and Freddie (my nephew)
My Christmas…
As most of you know… we don’t celebrate christmas for religious reasons (we are Jehovah Witnesses). Glenn and I still go to Christmas dinner at my grandparents houses. Forest’s side doesn’t celebrate it either.
I had to finish cooking my tator tot hot-dish for the dinner… That’s the dish that I bring to all the Jones get togethers. Meanwhile Glenn is being awful quiet. I go and see what he is doing and he is coloring on my walls with crayons. (Not that big of a deal! Adds character to the house). I take the crayon away and give him a couple of gifts to open. He got some tools. A drill, skill-saw, and grinder. Along with the hammers and other tools that came in the sets with it.
Now I go back to cooking. Toss everything together and put it in the oven. Get a bath ready for Glenn, Not sure what he got into, but he is very filthy already! Meanwhile he’s throwing a tantrum because he wants to play with his new toys. Get him clean, take him out of the bath and send him into the living room while I get him some clean cloths. Get the cloths on him, now where are his shoes! I just had them before I put him in the bath, phone rings… answer that. It’s my MIL. talk to her for a couple of min. Back to finding his shoes. Glenn runs by me. His cloths are off again! Find where he put his cloths, get them back on him. Now I ask Glenn where his shoes are. He tells me that he hid them so we would have to stay home. I tell him that if he doesn’t get his shoes, so we can go he won’t be getting anymore presents. So he decides he wants to go and gets his shoes from under his bed and behind the couch. Now he’s ready to go. Grab my camera because Grandma Thacker asked me to bring it. She wants family pictures taken. Can’t find my phone. I ask Glenn where my phone is. He says in the house. We go back in the house and he points in the cabinet. Why in the world would it be in there??? Open the cabinet and sure enough that’s where my phone sits! I must have set it there after I put the pen back when I hung up from talking to my mil. We are now a half our late!
Get to my Grandma Jones’ house. I see my nephew Freddie and realize that I forgot his present at home. Great! Oh well, I’ll give it to him next time I see him. Glenn opens more presents. After a couple of hours he was playing in the basement with the other kids. Then we here a little kid fall down the steps and is screaming. It was my 2 year old cousin (Glenn’s 2nd cousin, I’m the oldest grandkid out of 23 grandkids on that side.) Luckily she didn’t fall very far and didn’t land on the cement. After her mom brings her up and is holding her, Glenn comes over to me and says “Mommy! I pushed that little girl down!!!” He looked and sounded to proud of himself. I remove him from the crowd and put him in time out then have a long talk with him. Dad forgot his cell phone and asks me to bring it to the other grandma’s when I go and asks me to pick up the Ford kids so he won’t have to drive back to get them later. Stop and pick them up on my way through and realise that there are 4 kids that are coming with me. I only can legally seat 3 more people in my explorer. I wound up putting the smaller girls in the middle seat-belt in back. I don’t like doing that, but don’t have much choice.
On the 30 mile drive to my other grandma’s house I’m trying to keep Glenn from spitting on the girls in the back. The roads are a little slick and it’s snowing pretty good, so my top speed is 40.
After we get to my Grandma Thacker’s, Glenn gets more presents and we eat more food. Then the kids are playing and Glenn decides to beat up Freddie. Pull him off Freddie and tell him that it’s not nice and if he does it again he will have to go out in time-out. Glenn talks Freddie into going into the bedroom with him and proceeds to start beating him up again. Pull Glenn off again and put him in time-out. The whole time he is in time-out he is crying and screaming that he wants to be good, and won’t do it again! So of course I’m getting nasty looks from everyone and one of them tells me to give him a break, it’s christmas. After his timeout was done he was pretty good. He wanted to play brad dolls with the girls, but they wouldn’t let him.
Now it’s time to take pictures and I get my camera ready and turn it on. Then is says it needs a memory card. I open the spot and see the card is gone. I look in the camera bag and can’t find it. Then I realise that it’s in my printer, because I was taking pictures off it the night before ( I have to get a new cable for my camera since Forest’s dog chewed my other one.) I’m so mad at myself!!! I could just scream!!!
On the way home, Glenn fell asleep and slept all night long. Yay! More time with just Forest, we really don’t get enough one on one time. Glenn normally is an angel and everyone always comments on how well behaved he is.
Today my cold is getting the better of me and I have been fighting a bad headache all day. (I took the day off work)
my mommy is my best friend
Tonight as I was sitting at my computer, checking my email and playing with some pictures, I was listening to Glenn talk to Forest. Forest was helping him count and teaching him how to write letters. By the way he mad a perfect I i both ways. I had a hard time telling which one was his and which one was Forest’s. Then Glenn came over by me to get his cup filled with milk. After I filled it, he went back in by Forest and sat next to him on the couch. Then he says “Daddy, my mommy is my best friend.” My heart melted. I love that little boy so much!
