They woke Alex up

WHY can’t my kids be quiet?  There I was, having a NICE rest, when Alex starts hollering.  Now, it’s 8:20, which probably means Syd and Shabree woke her up, and therefore, waking ME up.  I had to get up rather early to get the rest of the house cleaned up for the woman who did the intake, and she stayed downstairs in the living room the entire time.  But my whole house is clean, vacuumed (it won’t last!) and looks SO nice…feels nice too.  It just feels GOOD to have it all guilt free and I know I can put Alex down without worrying that she’s going to pick something off the floor and put it into her mouth.  And almost all the laundry is clean, though much of it, despite folding for HOURS, is still in baskets.  I’m sick and tired of folding laundry!  

I just had to share this… WISH I’d had a camera, because it was SOOOO funny/cute.  Last night, I was laying on the couch, feeding Alex.  Well, I was on my back, so I put her on my stomach.  Well, she got on TOP of me, on all fours, and nursed like that.  I just laughed and laughed, and she just grinned at me with her darling little grin.  She didn’t even hurt me.  My other breast was seriously between her feet.  TOO funny.  

I got Alex’s eye appointment made.  The insurance actually approved it March 1st!  But I can’t get her in til April 29th!  Sigh.  They said they’d call if something came up earlier than that.  I sure hope it does, because I don’t want to wait til the end of April to see what’s what with her eye. 

I want to watch Law and Order tonight, but I was also thinking I OUGHT to scrapbook.  I ought to put some work into that.  Maybe I should clean.  But I gotta get the kiddos, the babies, put to bed first.  I’m having Becca give Alex a cheese stick.  Hopefully if she’s not hungry, she’ll go down.  I will probably have to feed her first.  Maybe I WILL watch Law and Order.  I’ve got 10 minutes til that is on.  Jerry is not feeling well, so took two tylenol blue pills and went to bed.

I might have to do the same thing later myself, but I’ll have to make sure and set my alarm so I wake up at a good time to feed Alex.  Becca’s watching Ace of Cakes, which is an okay show, but I like other Food Network shows better.  Oh, I guess she changed the channel.  She won’t tell me what she’s watching, she’s being coy.  Now, she’s being snotty.  She wants to know WHY I want to know, and I told her, if she wasn’t watching something she wasn’t supposed to be watching, she’d TELL me what she was watching.  She named some show I didn’t even know.  But now she’s back to watching Ace of Cakes.  Oh BROTHER.  I mean, I try to pick and choose my fights, but when she gets STUPID like that and snotty, I could just wring her little neck.  I’ve got to spend some time picking papers for the pictures I printed out of Alex.  It’s going to be quite a task getting her week by week done, but it’ll help if it’s all organized and put into page kits.  Oh… I was on MyBabyScrapbook.com tonight, and there are SO many cute brads and stickers, and paper.  They had some epoxy stickers, and I just LOVE epoxy stickers.  They’re dimensional, and shiny… what’s NOT to love?  LOL  It is NOT like I need to go buying ANYTHING for a baby scrapbook… but I used so many of my favorite things on Sammi’s book, that I want these things for Alex’s, so she doesn’t just get Sammi’s leftovers, you know?  Okay… that MAY be stupid… but then, it’s true to an extent.  Oh, and they had wonderful ribbon that I just loved.  Now I most certainly have enough ribbon… but I can’t resist ribbon.  I love ribbon SO much.  I especially love ric rac.  I have to find all my ric rac.  I’m having trouble finding good ribbon for some of my pages.  I’m going to have to really look at what I have for some of these pages.

But I gotta go, my show is just about on.
