Still More Nesting...

Okay, the next stage of get these nasty carpets out of my house has been completed. The little bedroom, which was formerly the nursery (where my child NEVER slept), now has its new floor. :-D

Bryon patched and sanded and then I laid down the planks yesterday. It looks so much better! The carpet that was in the majority of the house when we moved in was just downright icky! It was stained, and they were the kind of stains that no matter how many times I cleaned them with the shampooer they came back.

Have you ever pulled up carpet? If not, you should try it sometime just so you have some idea of the kind of dirt that resides underneath it. This house wasn't even that old when we moved in. I guess the carpet was about ten years old but there was an ocean of dirt underneath it. It makes you wonder if they just laid it down on a dirty floor but surely not!

So here are my terrible pictures. There wasn't much light when I was taking them.

This one is the in progress pictures...(forgot to do a before)


And here is the after!


Thanks for your help, Bryon! Now you get to move the guest bed in there so you can rip out the carpet in the other room. ;-)

Thursday Thirteen #39

This one requires a little set up…

My husband was supposed to bring Nicky to the bathroom to have a bath after me last Saturday morning, and he said he was just going to give him a quick haircut. I said, "Fine, just make sure if you can't get anything else done to trim his bangs." (Nicky HATES having his hair cut.) Because he couldn't see his hair was so long in front. Perhaps I should have been more specific. Perhaps I should have said, "Don't shave my child's head." I did not, however, so when I finally gave up on him finally bringing Nicky, this is what I found…

Not so bad you might say? At least he still has hair? Fine, you can say that, but this is how long his hair was before the haircut…

I like his hair that way!!! I just wanted it trimmed a bit and his bangs short enough that they weren't in his eyes.

So anyway…Bryon just didn't understand why I burst into tears. Before I started crying he looked very proud of himself. Later he claimed that he hadn't actually intended to cut it that short… Um…okay, to prevent another fight over this I will buy that…sort of.

So here is my list, inspired by last weekend's events…

Thirteen Things Not to Do When Your Wife is Pregnant

1. Not be anything except entirely loving and supportive. :-D
   
2. Expect her not to have mood swings.
   Seriously! Don't be surprised when your wife goes from a sweet, adoring woman to ready to hang you from the nearest rafter. It's part of the package.
   
3. Suggest that you might possibly be more tired than she is.
   Trust me. However long your day was, hers was just as long AND she was growing a baby the entire time.
   
4. Not go to the store and get her what she has a craving for.
   If you don't go, she's just going to make you feel bad about it later trust me! We pregnant women are excellent guilt trippers.
   
5. Suggest that she suck it up.
   I have a friend who actually said of his nine month pregnant wife, "I know she is uncomfortable, but I can't take the mood swings anymore. She just needs to suck it up!" I asked him if he had said that to her… He had not. That's why he's still married. ;-) My response? "I highly recommend that you never say that to her. Nor that you ever say that again in the presence of a woman who has EVER been pregnant."
   
6. Tell her she looks anything but adorable pregnant.
   
7. Look at her swollen feet and utter, "Oh, my god!"
   Yeah, my husband did something to that effect last time. I mean I had pre-eclampsia which is even worse than the normal ankle swelling of pregnancy so I know they were awful. Hell, I didn't even have ankles! But that's just not something you want to hear.
   
8. Decline giving her a backrub.
   Come on, man! She's bearing your child! Rub her back! And when she's in labor rub exactly where she says to rub right when she says it with no delay or dirty looks. It doesn't matter how important the conversation you're having with her mother is! And this time there ain't gonna be any football on in the delivery room! No soccer either!!! She might even watch Lifetime!
   
9. Decline to paint her toenails!
   Awww, but she can't reach her own toes! That's just mean! It won't magically make you a woman to paint her toenails, I promise!
   
10. Make fun of any of the side effects of being pregnant.
    Any of them! No matter how funny you make thing they are!
    
11. Not let her take a nap if she needs one.
    Growing babies is hard work!
    
12. Not help her with any household chores she can't handle.
    My husband is so good about this. He pulled up the carpet in the little bedroom this weekend, and he is going to patch the carpet tack holes in the concrete tonight so I can lay the new floor. :-D He'd lay the new floor too if I'd let him but it's vinyl plank and soooo easy, but it does require some pretty obsessive compulsive lining up and while he is capable it'd just be good for me to do it myself. ;-)
    
13. Give your son a buzz cut…
    

More Adventures in Rit Dye

So before we knew if Nicky was a boy or a girl my Mom brought me a bag of clothes that had belonged to me when I was a baby. Amongst them was my Christening gown.


Cute, right? Aside from the big stain on the front. Doh!

So I tried everything to get it out, including bleach, and that is the end result. So I thought...well it's not really wearable as is so I might as well try something. Now it's polyester and acetate so I had serious doubts as to whether or not the dye would take and it didn't turn to true color on the bottle but I think the color it did become is even better!

It's kinda hard to see the under dress in this picture, but it turned about the same color as the lace. All and all pretty darn cute! Granted no girls, but we'll see. hehe

8 People I think should do Crazy 8s

I'm terrible at tagging so how about 8 people who want to can do this one. ;)

I had a craving...

A couple of weeks ago I had a craving for Red Lobster's Crab Alfredo, and no hope of getting there anytime soon. You see my husband has something against anything that swims. I blame it on the fact that he is a Pisces and he doesn't want to eat his own kinda. At any rate, he is none too fond of Red Lobster needless to say, and all my friends were otherwise occupied so there wasn't even the option for a girls' night out. So I decided in my desperation that I would try one of those fake recipes.

This is the one I found.

I have made it like twice since! I only used 1/4 teaspoon of Cayenne because quite frankly I don't remember their Alfredo burning my tongue, and that much sauce will actually coat 16 oz of linguine quite nicely. However, other than that it's almost perfect!

So if you like their Crab Alfredo I'd totally recommend this recipe.

Snips and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails

I'm sure we've all heard that part of the poem before, but while looking for something that might tell me what the heck a snip is I discovered that it's actually part of a longer poem and some of it's verses are really cute so I thought I'd share.

Hospital Scam Artists

I was recently reminded of my extreme annoyance with the financial department of our local hospital and felt that I should share.

There are actually two different incidents I would like to relate. The first happened two days after I got home from the hospital with my son. I was admitted for an emergency induction with him because I'd developed Pre-Eclampsia. (If you've never heard of it, click on the link. It's a nasty condition, and if you are pregnant you need to know the symptoms.) So I hadn't gotten to the hospital yet to turn in the Pre-Admission form and pay their pre-admission fee.

So my phone rings and my husband brings it to me, and says he doesn't know who it is, but they are asking for me. And a little lady comes on the line telling me that I owe such and such an amount of money for the hospital stay. No problem. I mean obviously I was expecting it and had money saved for it. So I ask her to send me a bill, and she says to me that I have to give her my credit card number over the phone because this is something that should have been paid before I was even admitted.

I mean good grief! I am out of the hospital two days and perfectly willing to pay the bill, but she wants my credit card number right then and there. I explained to her the situation under which I was admitted and again asked for her to send me a bill. To which she then again responds that I was supposed to have already paid it. I at that point informed her that I was not a complete imbecile, and that if she was willing to give out her credit card number to people who just called her with unlisted numbers then that she should seriously do some research into credit card fraud and phishing.

She then said that she would send a bill right out.

THANK YOU! THAT IS ALL I ASK!

Of course, the bill didn't come for four months…

Something similar was done to three other people I know, and their bills were sent to collections before they even sent a bill out asking for money…

The second incident happened after I had to go to the emergency room with my little guy after he had a seizure induced by a high fever right after he turned one.

First of all we sat in the emergency room waiting room for eight hours before getting to see anyone, but okay what can you do if you're short on doctors, right? Well, I had a friend who was just in the waiting room for hours on end barely able to breath with a blood clot in his lung, so… I mean if you can't breathe or you're having chest pains maybe it's time to move you up on the roster… But I digress…

A few weeks later we got a bill for the price of our co-pay, which I then paid and sent back. No problem right? I figure we're square. Then a couple weeks after that I get another bill from the hospital. Apparently that was for the doctors and the other was for the hospital…

The kicker…?

There was a note on the bill that said that anything that was paid quickly and didn't have to go to insurance got a 40% discount.

I then called my insurance and they said that I should just call them back and make sure they sent it on to claims, because all I actually had to pay was the co-pay.

So what was this about? I can't know for sure, but it seems to be a way for them to make you pay more than you actually have to because it's less work for them to have to send it through insurance. Plus the insurance company will argue the prices of things and get discounts you couldn't get. So basically they are just being bums…

What is the moral of these tales? Be very careful with hospital bills because they are hurting for money, and they aren't above trying to confuse you to get more.

13 Random Things I Can See From Where I'm Sitting
I know! So Creative, eh?

1. Nicky, my two year old, who is sitting on my lap watching Go Diego Go.
   
2. My new Gardenia Plant. Hopefully I won't kill it soon.
   
3. A bookshelf full of mostly unfinished scrapbooks. Really need to finish Nicky's before the little one gets here. Or at least get it up to date.
   
4. The Puppy Computer. Not that he'll play it. He's much to set on sitting on my lap watching Diego at the moment.
   
5. A case full of thimbles that belonged to my Granny.
   
6. A shelf with the unity candle, framed invitation, goblets, and cake topper from my wedding.
   
7. Lots of pictures of Nicky.
   
8. A carpet shampooer which I need to use on my rugs. It's out because this weekend we had a slight flood… I walked into the bathroom to check my laundry and stepped into an inch of water that had run out into the living room, the extra bedroom, and the nursery. Good thing we were planning on tearing the carpet out anyway…If you flush my toilet too hard it keeps running, which is annoying but not that big a deal…as long as when you flush a bunch of tissue down you make sure it actually goes down. Now I'm not pointing fingers but the guilty party cleaned it up so at least there is that.
   
9. An itty bitty table and chairs with Pooh Bear.
   
10. A Mahogany dining table that has two leaves so it closes to be pretty darn small, which fits perfectly in my small house. I got it on Ebay for 75 bucks. I was very proud!
    
11. Nicky's Pack N Play which I desperately need to clean out, because it seems to be a toy dumping ground at the moment.
    
12. My DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) Pads which have not gotten much workout lately…
    
13. A big frog that my husband gave me for Valentine's day, but that Nicky has since claimed as his wrestling partner.

Nesting? Yup!

Okay, so I've gone through every article of baby clothing in the house and this is what I have for a newborn boy...As long as he actually is a boy. ;)

Newborn to 3 Months Clothes

• 1 Sleeveless onsie
• 2 Long Sleeve onsie
• 27 short sleeve onsie
• 1 wrap around tee
• 11 footie pajamas
• 2 fleece blanket pajamas
• 1 tee
• 2 cotton blanket sleeper
• 1 bath robe
• 1 Halloween footie jammie/bib/hat set
• 5 receiving blankets
• 1 long sleeve preemie onsie
• 1 footie overalls
• 2 sets of gloves
• 1 outfit with jacket, pants, and tshirt (space theme)
• 1 pair pants
• 1 Tigger romper
• 1 jean jacket
• 13 bibs
• 15 hats

So all I need for him are some pants...I wonder how I managed to have only one pair of pants for Nicky. I think I have the ones picked out that I want, and I'll get them after I find out for sure he is a boy. hehe Oh and I need some of those swaddle blankets that are shaped just for that purpose. Those things rock.

It's a Boy!

Well according to the lady at ultrasound place, we're having a little boy. I'll have to admit I didn't see any really fabulous evidence either way. I'm not 100% convinced that what she showed us was in fact a wee wee, but she did check to make sure there wasn't major blood flow through it which would indicate that it was the cord. We're having our official ultrasound in about two weeks so hopefully I'll get a better view then. Until then I'm not going to be buying any new boy stuff. Not that we don't have plenty of boy stuff left over from Nicky.

We don't have a middle name picked out yet, but his first name (assuming the ultrasound lady was right) will be Finn. (Looks like I need to go rename a character in one of my books... :-D)

I went through all Nicky's little clothes this weekend and separated them into sizing and checked for stains. My husband didn't understand why I refused to put my second child in anything that was stained. He argued that they would be great for sleeping in. Well, I'm sorry. Hand me down is one thing, but stained hand me down? I would feel like a bad mommy! "Here ya go, Finn. Don't mind that Spaghetti stain on the shirt. We didn't think it would bother you." I can just see him taking his baby photo album to the shrink one day as proof that his mommy really didn't love him as much as his big brother! When in fact they will be loved completely equally!

Thursday Thirteen #37

Wish me luck today! We're having an ultrasound, hopefully to find out the gender of our little one. So if you would think nice unshy baby thoughts, I'd be grateful!

Inspired by Jenn's Bucket List, I've decided to make a Thursday Thirteen Bucket List of my own. :-D I used to have one of these, but I have since lost it. So here we go…

13 Things Lesley Wants to Do Before She Kicks the Bucket (Hopefully Many, Many, Many Years From Now) :-D

1. Sky Dive
   That's right my friends I want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane. Bryon's done it. He was a parachute dude in the Queen's Guard. I still think he should have been a diver then he could teach me. Which brings me to my next one…
   
2. Learn to Dive
   I want to take all the classes. Everything from regular diving to structure and cave diving. (This one might not be the best of plans for me as I have an insane fear of being trapped in something under water, but hey I'm willing to face my fears, and it sounds fun.)
   
3. Take a Horseback Tour through the Countryside of Ireland
   Horses + Ireland = Woohoo!
   
4. Drive all of Route 66 in an RV
   No, I wasn't at all influenced in this by the Cars movie…Really!
   
5. Water Ski
   I've never been! I've been snow skiing and that was fun.
   
6. Sell a Book!
   Okay, more than one! Millions of copies would be ideal. ;)
   
7. Restore a Victorian Home
   Hubby just wants to build a Victorian one day, but it's not the same!!!
   
8. Learn to Fence
   Well maybe not fence, maybe sword fighting is a better term for it. I don't want to use those tiny little foils. I'm a broadsword kinda girl!
   
9. Take a World Cruise
   One of the ones where they don't try to tell you what to do. I don't like being told what to do.
   
10. Bungee Jump
    Wouldn't that be fun! If I start to chicken out, someone shove me. K? :-D
    
11. Hang Glide
    Yes, lots of the things I'd like to try involve jumping out or off of things, don't they?
    
12. Travel Europe (Also by RV) with No Schedule!
    Ah, to be independently wealthy! Guess I'm gonna get all that cash from all of those millions of books I'm going to sell.
    
13. Parasail
    Maybe I can do the water related ones on my World Cruise. ;)

Jericho Tonight!

Wooooooooooot!

That is all! ;)

I'm a Farmer's Daughter! I should have some idea of how to grow things!

Now, I've always wanted to be able to grow things, and the idea of planting things and later harvesting them and feeding my family with them is very appealing to me. However, it seems that I have a big ole...hmmm what is the opposite of a green thumb? A red thumb? Anyway I have those. I am moderately capable of keeping roses alive, but only after a very sad incident in which I completely ignored them for an entire summer in a bed that wasn't lined with that fabric that keeps weeds from growing... Yeah, I didn't realize you had to have that stuff! I thought if you put down mulch it kept things from growing. My weeds laughed at the mulch and grew to waist height!

So last summer my quest was to save the remaining roses in my bed and plant more. I did a pretty darn good job, and I think they will come back quite happily in the spring. I do need to cut them back this month though...*adds that to her to do list*

I also started a nice little herb garden. Anyone can keep herbs alive right? WRONG!!!! I had to replant the basil three times before it took! The first time was totally not my fault. We had this freak cold snap where it dropped to like 22 for three days. It was so sad. All the beautiful spring leaves on the trees shriveled up and died. I was pretty concerned for a while there that we weren't going to have any leaves at all, but they finally came back. I can't remember why the basil died the second time... But the third it took and boy did it take. It got enormous. The mint did well too so I'm hoping it will come back. Mint comes back right? And the cilantro only lasted about a month before I killed it... Oh well. We'll see what I can do with that come spring.

So anyway that brings me to this year. The soil here is...well the soil here is rocks. So as my darling husband has been cleaning up our field in anticipation of spring and lovely new native plant (read that as: weed) growth and has piled up a knee high five foot wide pile of rocks, we're going to be making some above ground garden beds. They'll be 4 foot by 4 foot. Basically we're going to use this uber cool method I saw used by my best friend's sister. It's called Square Foot Gardening. It's like the lazy girl's garden. :-D And it's perfect for places like here where the natural soil is pretty much useless.

So I was thinking the other day, since they are putting out all the gardening stuff does that mean that it's time to start planting the garden. Then it occurred to me that I really should have some idea of this. My grandmother grew like an acre of garden every year! My father was a farmer for most of his life! And I have no idea whatsoever when to plant my seeds... I think I'm embarrassing my ancestors. *Goes off to learn more*

In case of disaster...You know... Like on Jericho!

I was thinking that I still haven't gotten my emergency kit in order, and it is about time I start!

I found this great site that is actually to create an emergency pack for your car in case of getting stranded somewhere, but a lot of it applies to a home kit as well.

Rather than just the cheap pot he suggests, I think one of those little aluminum mess kits would be ideal. Like this one. You might even want one for each person in the family, because they have a little cup and plate in them. It'd be a lot easier than sharing. You can use them when you go camping too.

When I got to thinking about how much you'd have to carry if you were...say running away from aliens or zombies or something...I decided I really do need horses. It's not just for my own riding pleasure. Really! They would also be the only reliable means of transportation in a major nationwide catastrophe. It's unlikely that their would still be people delivering gas after all.

So here is what I want for my kit...

• One large bag that is easy to carry, in case you have to travel far
• Ziplock bags to store everything, in case it all got soaked.
• Mess kits for the whole family
• Those tablet things to drop in water that kill microorganisms and a pitcher filter
• Dehydrated food that only requires water to cook (about a weeks worth)
  
• A good first aid kit with an assortment of medicine in both children's and adult strength and ways of dealing with any minor injuries that might arise
• Ponchos for the whole family
• A couple of those tube tents for emergency shelter
• All weather blankets for the whole family
• Matches - Lots of them - packed carefully
• 1 LED flashlight and 1 kinetically rechargeable flashlight
• A Compass - in case you need to stay off the main roads
• A small radio
• Good knife
• Fold up fishing pole (okay, I maybe going overboard here, but I've already got one and what better way to get some good protein. Of course, Bryon would probably die before eating fish...)

I'm sure I'm forgetting lots of things, but there you go. :-D

Thursday Thirteen #36

I got Nicky a Betta fish, which he has dubbed Nemo. It got me to thinking that in my life time I have had lots of different pets. So in honor of the inclusion of Nemo in our household...


13 Pets I've Had

1. A Hamster Named Chester
He was a cutie pie, who became a wild hamster by mistake. He was very ill, presumed dead, buried, and later rose from the dead. Okay, obviously he didn't rise from the dead, but he did dig his way out of his grave.
2. Bunnies
I don't remember their names, because I was much too little, but I do remember that the baby bunnies in the nesting box bore a striking resemblance to pop corn popping.
3. Guinea Hens
These didn't have names. They are birds that are possibly the only creature on earth who goes from completely adorable to utterly hideous in the space of a few months. They start off looking like fuzzy white tennis balls with legs and end up looking...well I don't think I can aptly describe them. So check out this link.
4. Ducks
I still adore ducks, if we had a pond, I'd totally have a flock.
5. Chickens
These started out always as those adorable little chicks at the feed store and 9 times of 10 grew up into demon attack rosters. There was one we had that was absolutely so men I was afraid to go in the yard. He would jump on me and attack me with those big claws they have on the backs of their feet.
6. Dogs
I've had several throughout the years and they all deserve their own posts so I'll just leave it at that.
7. Cats
Same as dogs.
8. Horses
There were two that I particularly adored, Sheba and her son Sire. They were wonderful horses.
9. Parakeets
I remember enjoying having them as pets but I'm not sure why. Birds are a great deal of work for very little pay off. They could care less about you as a general rule.
10. Cockatiels
We had two, one named Cocky and one named Sulpher. Both of them said a few words and knew how to call the cats. Cocky even learned to sing a song that I had to play on my flute for a competition. As birds go, they were good pets.
11. Many a Fair Goldfish
You know how you can play the game at the county fair usually where you throw ping pong balls into the goldfish bowls? Well we enjoyed that game as kids. hehe
12. Guppies
I like these fish. They are pretty cute, and they were always having little guppy babies.
13. Bettas
Yes, Nemo is not my first. I do know a great deal more about them now though. Like they are from Thailand and are common in rice paddies. They can live in such shallow still water because they can breathe air. That's how they can survive in those tiny little containers at pet stores, but it's not an ideal environment for them. Despite the fact that those little containers are probably insanely boring, they are also virtually impossible to keep warm. Coming from such a warm environment they thrive in water in the upper 70s to lower 80s, which is why I'm keeping Nemo's light on most of the time. He's a terribly amusing fish because he thinks his reflection in the side of the aquarium is another boy Betta, and he does his darnedest to scare him off.

Well there is my list. What pet's have you had?

Thank you, Sweetie!

Look what my hubby is getting me for Valentine's Day!

Look Look Look!

Okay, he isn't like buying the What's Kickin Ultrasound Studio or anything. hehe But he is getting me an ultrasound. :-D He's a good hubby.

I'm so excited! Is it Valentine's Day yet!?
