Mixed up ramblings of a bipolar mom to 4…

This past week..

Sunday Jul 31, 2005

Has been crazy wicked! First.. It all started Tuesday (the day I was going to post my next guest post) Well Tuesday started off like any other day around here does.. Everyone lazy, me trying to keep the kids quiet while Hubby sleeps in because he has to work that night. At about 7 pm Hubby calls me from work,”Come get me.. I’m sick”. I load all 3 kids up and high tail it down there. It takes 45 minutes to an hour to get to hubby’s job. We get there and he is waiting in his friends truck for me. He looks like hell. But hell I can deal with. We get home and he needs some meds so I leave to go to walmart to get some tylenol cold meds. I was gone about an hour..

When I got home I went to take them to him and he was b urning up. I took his temp which was a chore because he couldnt seem to hold it in his mouth long enough to get an accurate temp. Once it reached 103.5 I finally let him take it out of his mouth. It was still going up but he co uldnt keep it in his mouth any longer. I kept trying to talk to him but he was all weird and lethargic like and it scared me. I gave him some tylenol to try to get his temp down and he kept complaining about chest pains. After not being able to get anywhere with him and his responses to me and the way he looked I went and got his dad out of bed (they live next door) this was about 10 pm. His dad convinced him to go to the ER and got him in the truck for me. We live 45 min from he ER. When we got to the ER it was about 11:30. They took dh’s blood pressure and temp which was at 102.5 at that point and let us wait. They were suppose to hook him up for an EKG because he had been having chest pains. They never got around to it. At 1:20 Hubby said ,”Thats it.. I’m going home..” And home we did go.

We got home at about 3am because I had to get my youngest from my moms house. We get home and hubby starts vomiting. This went on ALL night long and all the next day. He was miserable, I was miserable, the kids were miserable. It wasn’t fun. Thursday he finally decides he has to see a dr. So he goes to the dr. The dr tells him he has a throat infection. Gives him mega antibiotics and with in 2 days dh feels better and the vomiting stops. BUT guess who has the mess now..

Yep you guessed right. Me.. I feel like i’ve been ran over. Of course I’m not as bad off as he was or I wouldnt be sitting here right now. I have slept all day today and I cant possibly sleep anymore! My back hurts from laying in the dang bed.. I can’t wait till we are over this mess.. Found out a few min ago that the lil girl down the road (diva’s best friend) had this last week.. Thats probably where we got it from.. FUN FUN! I’m hoping the kids do not get this mess as 2 of them start school in less than 2 weeks.. :(

bahumbug…

Sunday Jul 24, 2005

I’d love to tell you guys that I’ve been extremely busy lately.. But I would be lying to you.. I’ve been busy but not extremely. Truth is.. I’ve just been to down in the dumps to write or even get on. I just want to sleep. Weird crap is. I haven’t felt this down in a few years. The dr put me back on wellbutrin (hadnt taken it in 2 years) and now i’m feeling worse than I was before I started taking it.

I will post the next guest post tom.. It comes to us anon and Is a confession regarding love and her husband..

Another thing.. Roscoe the pup is sad.. Very sad. Tonight hubby brought home another puppy(yeah the man who was so dead set against a dog in the house brought home ANOTHER one). hub says its a mix between a rat terrier and a fox terrier.She is really little right now.. 8 weeks old. She is cute And HYPER! She jumps all over the place. Like she is on speed. She is SO HYPER! Roscoe does NOT like her. They have already tied up.. She is a fiesty lil’ thing! Roscoe never barked at me until tonight. He spent 30 min whinning and barking at me while I was eating because he wanted me to pick him up. Where is he now? Asleep on my lap.. Where is she? On my bed! where Roscoe thinks he belongs so he isnt too happy about this! Roscoe acts like we took his best friend or something. He is so sad.. He wont let her come near me.. She is so little though.. She looks like a lil rat.. She stands taller than Roscoe does though he has more bulk than she does.. He is alot more laid back than she is.. So we shall see.. I dont think 2 dogs inside is a good idea.. I dont have room for 3 kids and 2 dogs and Hub.. Someone is going to have to move out..


And how…

All right already..

Tuesday Jul 19, 2005

I know its well past m onday night. Its now tuesday morning but hubby is on nights so my schedule is all kinds of messed up and my kids are still up..

I know you hate waiting on secrets/confessions. And when I read guppy’s comment to my last post I had to laugh.. Sleeping to me isnt all that important..LOL Its something I do very little of.

Anyway.. Some of you might laugh at me, some might think,”She made us wait for this?” and some might think a few other things. However..

my secret is this..

I am 25, married and have my first crush. I’ve never had one before. Not a real one anyhow. Not even as a school girl. Its silly really. I dont find myself attracted to many people. Rarely do I find someone that turns my head, makes me stop in my tracks. Rarely do I find someone attractive because i’m easily turned off by behavior, lack of common sense, attitude, ect. But this guy.. He is cake..

To make matters worse. He is

Sunday Jul 17, 2005

To share my secret/confession.. And I will.. Soon.. I promise.. I’m just too tired to type it all out. Its 2:30am and I JUST now sat down. I’ve been running all day. I plastered my kitchen, got rid of my old dinning table and put up a “newer” one. (NOt new… just new-er..lol). Then had to help hubby outside with some things. Rode into the hunting club to hunt for something hubby had lost while riding the horse today. We fed the kids and ourselves at 1am. We had a late lunch os a late dinner was in order. Only now i wish I hadnt eaten at all. The kids are still bouncing off hte walls only hubby is snoozing while i’m up with them. (Whats new there..) I cant seem to find any quiet time when he is off of work.. If he works monday night I shall share my secret/confession then…
TTFN….

Family.. Pet…

Thursday Jul 14, 2005

i’ve never been good with pets.. My grandmother gave my kiddos a puppy today..

Meet Roscoe…

In the past we’ve had a kitten that didnt work out because it was extremely hyper and kept scratching the kids. And she made my son sneeze.. He hasnt ever had aproblem with dogs.. My mom has 3 of these so he should be fine. I’m not thrilled about a dog inside the house. We have no where to put him o utside but I guess we will manage.

My son had his first sleep over last night. He stayed the night with his cousin. I was a nervous wreck. He was so excited. I was thrilled for him b ut kept waiting on that phone call telling me to come get him. I had tried calling over there at 9pm and didnt get an answer. My sister in law told me that he went to bed before 10pm and slept in this morning..She said he was good.. I hope she wouldnt lie to me..LOL..

My husband is wanting me to invite my nephew to come stay the night here.. I’m not to keen on that idea. If he was older yes. But i’m just really not ready to care for 2 hyper 4 year old boys and a 2 year old and a 6 year old. If they were older maybe..

I’ve been so exhausted and so busy. I promised my daughter that I would paint her room. i’ve been making this promise for 2 years now. I did however buy the plaster to fix her walls and have almost gotten finished with that. Its taking me awhile. I hate messing with the plaster. I’m really picky about touching things and the gritty texture of it when it dries on my hands..ICK! Now my daughter wants to paint her room a really funky hot pink with lime green trim. Where she came up with that who knows. Hubby told her she could paint her room whatever color she wanted. I however am against this. I asked him if she wanted black walls would that be okay with him. He said yes its her room.. it may be her room but its my house.. I’m not okay with it..

Would you let your kiddo paint their room any color no matter what?

I’m surpised im forming real sentences. As soon as the alcohol wears off i’m sure to form a real meaningful post since I havent in some good time. i dnot drink much. since i never get a break from the kids and dont believe a drunk mother is a good mother. I only drink whensomeone is here with me to watch the kids or i get a few hours alone.

as i sit here.. im gettin gmore and more ticked off. probably has soething to do with the wine as well.. my damn site (no not this one) has been down since 9pm.. I keep gettin ga freaking error and cant seem to fix the problem myself and of course tech support is off duty till the morning but because i can access my site at all i cant file an emergancy report. I feel like ripping through the damn computer and knocking someone out. Oh i’m pissed off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

while im at it.. I have a confession to make a secret to share. however its gonna have to wait until i’m back in my sober state. I dont want to share too much(LOL) or rather i just need to be sober to do it. Do you have a confession you want to make? A secret to share? Really need to get something off your chest? Want to do it anon? email it to me.. I’ll post it for ya.. We can have a

A day at the river…

Saturday Jul 9, 2005

I’m too tired tonight and stressed out from the ongoing battle with my aunt and her grandson to type a well meaning thought out post. A little update on that situation. Kidnapping charges are being pressed on both the baby’s dad and mum as soon as the judge signs off on papers removing ALL visitation rights from both of his parents. Now kidnapping charges will be filed on both parents. Before it was jsut going to be the father. But the mother has left state with them (they arent even a couple). We are told an amber alert will be issued as soon as the judge signs off on the papers. I’m not real sure 100% what is going on because i havent been able to talk to my aunt due to other things going on. This was relayed to me through my husband and my aunts husband any well.. to save from going on about husbands and the way they relay messages or information. Long story short..

Inside my mind. My emmotions have been flooding me inside. I’m drained emmotionally, physically, I’m becoming numb to the pain. These last few days have been hell. Extreme hell. Several reasons. Oh Goodness where to start..

Will the REAL world please stand up..

Sunday Jul 3, 2005

I’ve been wanting to sit down and write all weekend. All weekend ideas popped up in my head. Not so much ideas as stories about “life”. Things i’ve been through. Most people would say i’ve been through alot in my 25 years. I think deep down most people have. Although, I’ve met a good deal of people who have had the easy road their entire life. Most of them are still living off of their parents at 30 years old, “working” for their parents company so they don’t have to get a real job and be in the “real” world. I don’t think people experience the real world until they are forced to pay their own bills and support themselves(assuming they are able).

I learned about the real world when I was a teen. I started working at 11 part time. Just 2 hours after school monday through friday and I enjoyed it. I wasn’t forced but I learned alot. At the age of 16 I had my first REAL job. I worked for walmart. Oh what fun that was. I learned what a bitch employers could be. I learned that things do not always go as we want them to and I learned the responsibility of paying my own car note and insurance. I often had to choose between gas money for the week or going out on friday and saturday night. I learned that if I didnt take care of my car. I was stuck with out one. Mom and dad were not going to take care of my responsibility. If I messed up it became theirs.
