Long Time No Write!

     It's been since April since I've gotten to write, my life has gotten even more busy now. Kash is 8 months old and all over the place, the twins ARE FINALLY POTTY TRAINED, and Lane is out of school. Now you would think things have gotten easier since the boys use the potty now, and they have in some ways, but I'm forever running them to the bathroom now and Kash thinks he has to join us every time. And now that Lane is out of school I have to hear about how board his is everyday. lol My back pain has gotten worse here lately, probably because of the extra bending and lifting to and from the potty with the boys....oh, and since the twins think they are super hero's now I'm breaking up fights and kissing boo boo more often now....not to mention that Kash thinks he is three years old and can do everything the boys can do so I'm forever lifting him and moving him out of "danger"......you'd think I'd be use to back pain by now but I don't think you ever get use to it.
      Man, I can't believe how big my kids are getting!! I just wish I could pause them in time so I can enjoy them for longer. As busy as they keep me I wouldn't change my job as a stay at home mom for the world. I make sure to cuddle each and every one of them (when they will allow me to!) everyday and tell them how much I love them. Time is a very short thing and I'm gonna try to enjoy every second of it with my little family. I know this was kinda a random post but it's just what I was thinking about today. :)  

:)

I decided to let Major take a shower with me Friday afternoon, I undressed him and then he started trying to tell me something. It sounded like he was asking to take a bath instead of a shower so I just told him no and turned around to get a towel and wash cloth. He said it a few more times and it then sounded like he was just asking if he could get into the bath tub or shower, so I told him he could get into the bath tub while I turned the shower on. I turned the shower on and I heard him say I'm finished......when I turned to get him to put him in the shower he was standing in the bath tub with only a shirt on and was trying to turn the water on. I said no Major we are taking a shower, he said okay mommy but I need to wash the pee down the drain! He had peed in the tub! So I guess he was asking if he could pee in the shower or bath tub (YUCK! I don't know why he would think either one was ok!), not if he could take a bath. Lesson for that day was to make sure I listen a little better when he is saying something to me. LOL

The Trouble With Potty Training :/

So I woke up this morning at 6 to feed Kash and then I couldn't go back to sleep. So I got up and planned my day. I decided to get oil changed, buy groceries, pic up pictures from Sears, get laundry done, and clean trash out of my car for the trip. I know A LOT to do for one day, but it had to get done. But it was raining and I didn't get started until around 2, I ran by post office before I went to get Lane from school and realized I left the double stroller at home!!! Crap! Oh well, I'll manage I thought. Well, when I got to the parking lot of the school I decided I'd use that time to clean the trash out of my car....might as well right!? lol So just as I was finished putting the last bit of trash in the Wally World bag Lane came out and then we left. I went and picked up pictures then went to Wal-Mart lube to get oil changed and went in to gro shop. You should of see us four! LOL I probably looked like some crazy woman in there with all the kids. I had two carts, Major and Kash in one and Jackson in the other. Lane pushed the one with Jackson in it and the groceries and I pushed the other. I kept having to look back and make sure Lane was keeping up and not running into people (or into MY heels) with the cart. As well as try to keep my list away from Major (not an easy task) and buy groceries. Sigh! I feel tired just talking about it again! lol But we got it all done and headed home.....JUST in time too because it was time for Kash to eat and he was whaling! (And my milk was dropping with every cry! OUCH!) So we got home and unloaded all the groceries (and kids!) and then I started to heat Kash a bottle up (I didn't have time to sit and feed right that min and he eats WAY faster when fed from a bottle). I asked Lane to help watch the twins while I put up groceries.....well I heard yelling....LOTS of yelling. So I stopped what I was doing and went to the play room where the twins were and what did I see?!?!?! Yep, you probably guessed it! Major on the train table NAKED and turds on the table (right near the bridge to be exact! :?) and on the floor. Jackson was bent down yelling YUCK and pointing.....pointing SO CLOSE he was almost touching it! So I ran Major to the changing table and cleaned him up (made Jack go with us!) and then washed both their hands and cleaned up the mess.
After that I finished putting up the groceries and fed Kash. Then I went to check to see what Lane was doing in the bathroom....he said he was going to take a bath but who knows around here! lol And he was in the tub with water ALL over the floor and like three clean (well, they were clean!) towels on the floor and poop in the toilet (he NEVER flushes) and some ON THE SIDE OF THE POT! OMG!!! Are you kidding me!?!?! It seems like poop runs my life lately! I said boy you are 10 yrs old and you WILL clean that up on your own! *shaking my head as I am remembering it just now*
So my wonderful husband (my savior at this point because Major was running around without a diaper AGAIN!) finally gets home from working 10 hours today and tells me while putting a diaper on Major and also changing Jackson's poopy diaper that his boss has given him one more responsibility at work......the KEEPER OF THE KEYS TO THEIR BUILDINGS!!!!! WHAT the world!?! He can't even keep up with his own car keys more 'n less with keys that important! LOL I got a kick out of that and am very curious to see how it goes! ROTFL!!! Anyhow, I think he could look at me and tell I was beat so he said you need a long hot bath and he went and ran me one. While I was in the shower he made BLT's and FF and unloaded/loaded the dishwasher. WHEW! What a difference having him around can be.
So after we ate he cleaned up the kitchen and got the boys ready for bed.....I am SO grateful for that man! And about that time I felt something wet on my leg and it was Major without a diaper, AGAIN! I'm gonna kill that kid before he gets the chance to get all the way potty trained! LOL :?

The POOP MONSTER strikes!

Okay, it's been a while since I've had time to write but we have our new baby here! He is super cute and is such a good baby!! I really mean a GOOD BABY!! He has slept ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT FROM DAY ONE!!! I know right!!! Amazing! The twins started sleeping through the night at around three weeks old, my oldest child Lane was FOUR before he started sleeping through the night. And after the twins I just knew I couldn't get that lucky (more like BLESSED!) again! But I did! Thank GOD because with the way the twins have started acting when it's bedtime I'm not sure I could survive a baby that wakes up every two hours at night! LOL
I don't know what's gotten into Major and Jackson, seems like as soon as they hit two they became the poster children for the "terrible two's" saying. We use to be able to say bed time and brush their teeth and put them to bed.....just easy as pie! But now we even mention the word bed and they go crazy! We have tried spanking them, letting them watch tv in bed, laying in the beds with them for a while.....nothing seems to work for more than one night. One of us usually has to stay in there with them either threatening them to not get up or "petting" them to sleep. Sigh! I do realize that having the baby here now is a big change for them but this started several months before Kash got here. I'm at a loss!
Lane is doing ok in school, he still isn't make the best grades in math but he is improving. I've just realized that I'm going to have to stay on his teachers about sending study stuff home. He is just in love with Kash! He was the same way with the twins.....up until they were old enough to start showing him that they had their own personalities! LOL But I think we all sometimes wish they would stay babies! ; )
JJ (my husband) has been  totally awesome.....well he is totally awesome most always anyhow! But he really has since I got pregnant and started having all these gallbladder problems. He has been doing EVERYTHING! Really, he won't even hardly allow me to get up out of my chair! Which probably seems great to most people who aren't so obsessed with having things done just so! LOL I've really learned to relax and let things go though this past year and so, for that, I am grateful and proud. I am now a mother of four that just had a c-sec and is due for a tubal/gallbladder removal on December 16th....... and basically have NO control over how ANYTHING goes anymore anyhow. So I'm going to just go with the flow and pray my husband don't kill himself trying to take care of us all! LOL No, really though, JJ has been awesome and I couldn't ask for a better partner! (Now if only I could get him to stop thinking it's cute get out of the shower and show me his "little dance"! LOL
Now, to get these twins potty trained!!!! Let me tell you what happened the first day I was home alone with all three of the babies! I was in the middle of breastfeeding Kash when I heard the twins start yelling something about the "poop monster".....I though hummm, they must be saying something else, surely not POOP monster. Well, Jackson came running into the living room where I was and said ROAR, I'M THE POOP MONSTER! (So I looked at his bottom and no diaper! But it also didn't look as if he had pooped either!) Well, I just said really, your the poop monster....ha ha ha!  Then I saw Major with a shovel running back into their bedroom.....so I quickly stopped feeding Kash (he was pretty much done anyways) and went to see what they were talking about. I walked into their room and what did I see?!?!  Jackson jumping on the bed half naked yelling poop monster and Major in the floor with a plastic shovel picking up little poop balls (WITH HIS HAND!!!) and placing them into the shovel! OMG!! I grabbed them and took them to the bathroom and scrubbed them down, then went to clean the mess in the room up.....as I was taking the "mess" to the trash I saw little poop balls all over the front sitting room floor! (My first thought, after "I'm gonna KILL them!" was I can't believe all this came out of one child (Jackson), then my second thought was I needed to give him some juice to loosen things up! LOL) They had been putting the poop in the shovel and throwing it into the front room! YUCK!!!! So I cleaned all that up and by the time I was done it was time to start feeding the baby again!
I thought to myself, if this is what my days have in store for me then I'm gonna need a stiff drink every day by lunch! LOL And although it wasn't funny at the time, I find it very funny now.....THE POOP MONSTER!!!! ROAR!!!   Boys are SO gross!!!

Nerves are getting to me.....

Well, baby boy number four will be here in 11 days!!! I must say that I am a nervous wreck! Most people tell me that if I could handle new born twins that I can handle one more....but I wasn't even a bit nervous or scared when I was expecting them. I was calm and confident and ready to take it on! This time seems alot different...could be because I already have three kids!! lol I know that God will see us through and give me the strength to handle it all but I'm still alittle scared. So please pray for me.....well all of us! I'm sure it will be quite the change for all of us.
On another note, I have managed to keep the twins from smearing poop all over the house for the last month but they are STILL taking their diapers off almost every time they dirty it. I've kept shorts on them and they still take them off.....mabe I should try duct tape! lol And I'm sure they would be potty trained by now if I felt well enough to put all I had into it. But as soon as I'm healed from the c-sec I will get right on it.
Lane is doing pretty well in his new school, it's def alot different than he is use to but he is happy. He got his first D-Hall a few weeks ago....he was scared to death but after he "served" his time he was like "that wasn't that bad!" :(  Lord I hope this don't mean he ain't scared of getting into trouble anymore! He ran for student council but didn't get voted in....I think the whole experiance was good for him. He seemed to have alot of fun running also.
Jackson has been attached to my stomache for the last several months....he love to feel the baby kick and rub my tummy. I think it's so sweet! I am alittle worried about his jealousy after the baby is born but I think for now he is excited. Major talks alittle about the baby but most of the time could care less! lol They mostly fight over my lap because I can sit both of them in it anymore! Major has even said MOVE BABY KASH! :)
I am not sleeping much anymore and I am always thinking too much....but I think that is the nesting part of the pregnancy. That or the fact that I can't get comfortable! But on the up side the doctor set me up to get my gallbladder removed and for a tubal on Dec. 7th!  YAY! Until then I don't think I'm gonna let my hubby so much as kiss me! lol Just kidding! But I will be so glad when that is done, alot less pain and worry! Well, that's all for now. I'm gonna try to just think about this cute, sweet, wonderful little blessing that's about to enter into my world and not about the scary stuff.

What they want, they TAKE!

When Jackson got up this morning he asked if he could take a bath, I told him no you had one last night. Now, we have started locking the bedroom and bathroom doors because they can open them, so when I got up I locked all the doors as usual. And a few hours later they went to watch tv in their tv room, I checked on them about every 10mins or so. But 5mins after I checked on them I heard bath water running.....I went into my bathroom to find the water running and in the tub was two of my high heels and one of Lane's old shoes, a pillow, a book, and Jackson and Major! They still had their diapers and t-shirts on and Major was pouring water over the side of the tub onto the floor. The floor was sopping wet and Major had a wet poopy diaper. Jackson was yelling I'm swimming, I'm swimming! As I stood at the door and looked at what a mess the bathroom and tub was all I could think was this is SO funny! I guess it would have been much easier to have just gave them a bath when he asked. LOL! My little monsters!

Yellow shower this morning!

Major told me he had to go poo potty this morning so I ran him to the bathroom, got his diaper off (he had already gone just a litte in his diaper) and sat him on the potty. He sat there and started doing his business, I sat in front of the potty on the floor as always because they sometimes try to get up and may fall on the hard tile floor. I was glad to see that Major had actually made it to the potty in time to do his doo! Jackson was standing kinda beside me but out of my side view saying I pee pee potty. Jackson don't usually show interest in the potty, other than taking off his own diaper AFTER he has gone, so I didn't pay him much attention. I kept my eye on Major so he didn't try to get up, just then Major started yelling NOOoo Jacks! Diaper ON! So I put one hand on Major's leg to keep him on the potty so I could look back at Jackson, just then I felt something spraying on my leg! Jackson had taken off his diaper and was peeing all over the floor, wall, AND my legs! YUCK! So now I'm squatting so I'm not sitting in the pee, Major is trying to get off the potty (guess he was done) and Jackson was tapping his feet in his pee on the floor. UGH! What a mess, So I grabbed a towel and threw it on the floor and put my foot on it so I could swish the towel around to keep Jackson from playing in it. Jackson almost fell twice in his own pee, all the while I've still got one hand on Major so he couldn't get up. I finally got enough of the pee up that I could get Major off the potty and wipe him, then I got a rag and wet it with warm water and started cleaning Jackson's legs and feet off. I ran them out of the bathroom so I could get diapers on them then I went back with a mop and cleaned the floor and wall up.  : #   I got finished and then realized how funny this really had been and thought I'd share it. I got out the laptop (which has to stay plugged into the wall because the battery is bad) and begin to type this story.....Jackson came up and got into the chair with my and unplugged the laptop. Of course I was about halfway through this story and hadn't saved it and had to start all over again. So I plugged it back in and restarted the story just to get all the way to the end when Jackson unplugged it AGAIN! So this is was my third attempt to get this wrote! (I saved every other sentence this time!) LOL
     Also, Major just came up to me and said diaper change, he finished pooping in his diaper after all that! Oh, and it's not even 10 am yet! Joy, Joy, Joy!    : /
