I haven't updated in forever
My son Liam is 2 1/2. He's a pain in the butt and he beats me on a daily basis. :o) He's way too strong and he's already darker than me. The only reason I ever go in the sun is if someone pushes me, but he loves it and he tans, like his daddy, who I affectionately refer to as "Fibby McLiarPants". |

I was gone all weekend and when I got home, one of my cats had shut himself in the utility room with the food and water, had ripped up the carpet trying to get out and left the other 3 cats with nothing to eat or drink. I don't know for how long. I almost had a heart attack. An 11 year old cat can't go for 3 days without water. My sister had bought me some beef jerky on a road trip, which I left on the kitchen counter. The cats got in to it and threw it up EVERYWHERE. |

I'm so tired
The baby seems to have colic. At least, that's what my Mom and I figure from the info we've looked up. It's so horrible. He just cries and screams, sometimes for more than an hour at a time and there's nothing you can do about it. I'm sure it's rough on him but it's rough on everyone else too. It just makes me cry and gives me a headache and wrecks everyones nerves. And Mark is out of town for work so I'm staying at my parent's so they can help me. My mom keeps really unusual hours so if I go to bed early enough, I can get 4 or 5 hours of sleep before I even have to worry about getting up with the baby. But this situation also brings up a whole new bundle of anxiousness...I don't like leaving my cats alone. I keep thinking that maybe I left a door open or someone broke in and they all got out and were eaten by wild guineas or impaled on broken burglar glass. And I worry about Mark being away too. I won't get in to most of that because it involves him doing things I wouldn't like or getting in to trouble. But there's also the occasional feeling that he's been in a car accident or has been hurt at work or was paired up with a homicidal roommate who chopped him up in his sleep. And to add to the discomfort, I'm having really massive dizzy spells. I get sick to my stomach and my eyes hurt and the room just starts spinning. Sometimes because of movement and sometimes for no reason at all. It happened 3 times last night while I was just laying in bed. I'm going to call my doctor today. Maybe it's a weird after-effect of childbirth. |

lazy
I feel out of it today. The only thing I really have to do is clean the kitchen and I'm just not doing it. However, right now I'm sort of tied down with a baby. He is so clingy. I think he would prefer it if I just carried him around 24 hours a day. I just ordered one of those baby carrier things so I'll be able to use my arms. He's asleep in my lap right now. Well, Liam's almost a month old. He's pretty cute. I think he's going to have my eyes, which is a shame because Mark has such pretty eyes. He burps and farts more than I ever would have expected. He's still so little that none of his long sleeved clothes fit him. I'm not healing very well. I went to the ER a couple of days ago because I was in so much pain. Mark isn't feeling well either and it's making it pretty miserable in this house. The people down the street are bassing. They were doing that all day long on Monday. If it keeps up today, I'm going to call the police. I hate that sound and it wakes up the baby. I need him to sleep so I can clean. |

What the hell is Parker Posey doing in Blade Trinity? I watched this movie the other day but I missed the first 30 minutes so I'm watching it now. This movie is just horrible. Not as bad as the second one, but still really, really bad. Only the 3 main characters even seem to be TRYING to do a decent job in this movie. (not to say that they are) Everyone else performs like they lost a bet or something. And that was my movie critique of the day. On a different note...I seem to have chosen a bra with barbed underwire. It's really uncomfortable and kind of painful and I am so lazy that I don't even want to walk the 8 feet to the dresser and look for a different one. I wish I could train my cats to do little tasks like that. At the moment they're only proficient in knocking things over, laying on my laptop and for some odd reason, dropping their toys in their water bowl. |

I'm watching Four Kings, I've never watched it before but it looks like it's going to be one of those horribly embarassing shows that is really hard to watch. But Michael DesBarr (if that's how you spell it)--AKA touring singer for Power Station, AKA Murdock from MacGyver--is in it. Oddly enough, he actually looks really good. He looks almost exactly the same as he did in the 80's but he has short white hair, which beats the mullet by a mile. I went to the doctor this morning and she says I have "pregnancy induced hypertension". My blood pressure had been fine up until about 3 weeks ago. Apparently the lower number is high, I don't really know what that means but she said if it doesn't go down soon, she's going to induce. I think Mark and I are just going to go to the hospital on Saturday and tell them I'm having the symptoms she told me to watch out for and get it over with. Then we all win...Mark gets his baby that he's wetting his pants for, I get to not be pregnant anymore and my dad gets his grandson on his birthday (which he wanted...he was born on his grandfather's birthday) So Mark's plan is to feed me as much salt as possible tomorrow to raise my blood pressure and then hit me in the head to give me a headache because he knows I won't lie about it. |

LJ sure is hard to catch up on when you haven't been on for a while. I had my baby shower on Sunday. It was really nice. Connie and Julie even managed to find purple gingham decorations. I got lots of nice gifts and we've been setting up the nursery. We've washed all the clothes and Mark sorted them out and put them away and put together everything that needed to be put together. Somehow over the past few days, Jack's fur has turned into rabbit fur. He feels really soft like Caliope (Julie's cat). I pinched a nerve or something in my shoulder or arm. It hurts almost all the way down and keeps going numb. I need to be cleaning my bedroom. I have to get it ready for the bassinet. Mark is making me switch sides with him so he can keep the baby on his side. Fine with me. I'm going to watch Firefly for the way-to-many-eth time. |

You know, most of the time I feel like I won the kitty lottery. All my cats are so good. Although 1 of them really only likes me. Bob won't leave me alone right now though. He just crawls all over me and purrs and cries. I'm trying to not pay too much attention to Jack because he's the only one that seems to like Mark so I'm trying to let them bond. It's really hard because he's so cute and lovey. And I finally found Kitty...he was in the cat hammock. He's torn a hole in the lining of my box springs and he crawls in there and goes to sleep. But I made Mark a sandwich today with ham and usually ham would call him to the kitchen if he was in outer space, so I was worried that I haven't seen him in so long. Good grief, I'm the crazy cat lady. I could talk about them all day. I guess I'm going to go hang some curtains now and put my new quilt and bedskirt on the bed and paint my new bookshelf. I think that's my whole chore list for the day. From there on out, it's just telling Mark what I want him to do. |

I need some new icons. I let my paid subscription run out on LJ and now I only have 3 pics and I'm tired of them. I don't have the energy to look for any new ones right now. I do have some pics on disc of my new kitties, maybe I'll use one of those. So Angelina Jolie is pregnant. This makes me think a lot of Cyndi. Celebrity info was her life and she loooooooved Angelina but I don't think she would be able to wrap her brain around the Brad/Jennifer/Angelina chaos. Tom Cruise's new found idiocy and insanity would drive her round the bend too. None of this is very important I guess, It just makes me think of her a lot. I had to call Julie this morning to ask her how to time contractions. I've had a lot of pain today. I'm sure it's not labor though, I don't think it's painful enough to be labor. But my lower back is killing me. And I figured I should know how to time those anyway so I know what to do when the time comes. I think I may have pulled something in my tummy too. I got up from a rocking chair earlier and got a pain like I had been stabbed in the stomach, I almost fell down from it. Being pregnant bites. I haven't seen Kitty all morning. He's probably under the bed but I can't get down there to look for him. Well, I could probably get DOWN there, but getting back up would probably be out of the question. I'm so ready for Underworld to come out! Only about a week left! I'm curious about Scott Speedman, he's not in any of the previews. Bill Nighey is in it again so I guess there are flashbacks. And the guy that plays Marcos sounds so much like him I kept having to do double takes when I heard him. I just watched the Daily Show and back when Craig Killborn hosted, Bill Murray was on once and made up lyrics to the theme song and sang it and now every time I hear it, that's all I can think of. I do the same with the presidential song. James Garner sang his own lyrics to it in that president movie with Jack Lemmon, I can't remember the name. But I think more american theme songs should contain the lyrics "You better watch your backs, you bastards". |

My baby's daddy, (he loves it when I call him that :o) had a stroke last week. It was really scary. He's doing well now but the timing just couldn't have been worse. Also, 3 of our neighbors came over and cleaned our house while we were gone. (I stayed at my parent's while Mark was in the hospital). It was awfully embarassing because I hadn't cleaned in days but it was such a relief not to have to do it. |

Long time no write
I don't really keep up with the journal anymore and I don't know who even wants to hear about stupid pregnant stuff but I felt like doing a little expressing and what better forum? It is a journal after all. I had a baby shower today. It's strange how much more real having all this baby stuff makes the whole situation. You would think that a 7 pound baby sitting on your bladder and pelvic bone making it nearly impossible would be a good reminder of it's imminent birth but somehow diaper cream and onesies and a baby bath and one of those vibraty bouncy seats does an equally good job. I've only got a few weeks left and Mark and I have been working our asses off in the house trying to get everything ready. We have almost everything we need so it's not a big deal, but we live in a house that's over 50 years old and I think it just caught up to us that we need to get all the home improvement stuff done NOW. I don't know how much help I'll be once the baby is here. At least for a while. And he's already getting mad at me for trying to do too much. I know I've been lifting stuff and doing things I shouldn't but it's hard not to right now. I guess I'm nesting. Everyone tells me that happens close to birth. I think after the baby is born, I'm going to beg Connie to come over once or twice a week and help me with laundry and mopping and that sort of thing. She's said on several occasions that she would help me with those things. I'll even barter with her. I'll make Mark go do work at her house if she needs it. :o) |

Haven't posted in a long time. I just happen to have a few minutes this morning to fill though. I am pregnant, for those who don't know. I had my first sonogram on Monday and I'm about 4 months and it's a boy. Not much else to say about that right now. The house seems to be coming along pretty slowly. Mark says he got a lot done while I have been at my sister's the past few days, we'll see. And just a hint to anyone who might be thinking about it, if you're going to remodel your bathroom and you only have one, it's best to stay in a motel or something...it's really a pain in the ass. But I do have a very nice jacuzzi garden tub now! |

It's not supid
I had over 3,500 songs on my computer and they're all gone. Mark thinks I'm being an idiot. I can get all that music back. The thing is that Cyndi downloaded half of it. It's stuff I would never listen to. I don't even know what most of it was. But it was hers. And I had it. Also, there was about 4 hours of music that Cyn and I downloaded while Julie was in labor in my bedroom. I can't even remember for sure what it was. Stupid boy band stuff. But it doesn't matter. It was important. And it's gone. |

I don't like the 1st stall in our restroom at work. The door always hits me in the ass and I feel like I'm using a Liliputian potty. |
