Happy Turkey Day Eve...Day lol. I am baking (yum...Heath cookie bars and hopefully punpkin cheesecake) and cleaning house. I kept the little man home from school today because it was a rainy half day, and we do NOT walk on rainy half days lol. So he will be helping me bake and cleanse the house.



The little mama is trying to talk up a storm. She has her words that she says often, mostly involving food lol, but she is slowly starting to branch out. She is also my other little helper. She loves to throw things in the trash.



I am doing pretty good. I am loving my Ativan/Paxil combo. It is making me one happy woman! Not zombie like at all, with just the perfect amount of stepford wife syndrome. Im sure Chris is loving it haha.



I will leave you with some pics of the lils.

Later. Lol Cam just dupmed out a Capri Sun. Be back later

I'm Bored

So, so incredibly bored. The kids are in bed. Hubby is watching the UofA game. And I can't bring myself to find anything to do but sit at this damn computer. I need to get out of the house. But, it's 9:40 at night, so...where would I go?

Ethan had his first basketball game today. Poor kid, clueless lol. It was so danged cute, but I was laughing so hard I was crying and my gut hurt. I mean, he is ONLY 5, but ah, funny stuff. Here is a video of that, and a pic of him doing a slam dunk lol.

I am really excited because his cousin Hayden just joined the team, and it will be nice for him to have a buddy to play with on the team. And Hayden will just add to the super cuteness factor.

I steam cleaned my carpets the other day as well, and this is how we do it in the Verry house lol.

I know, I will go take a bath, and have freshly shaven legs on my freshly washed sheets. Yes. That is a favorite of mine. Get comfy in my pj's, and go watch something I want to watch without Chris hogging the bedroom tv with ESPN, ESPN2, and all the other thousands of ESPN channels there are. I swear, that man would marry ESPN if it was legal and/or possible lol. So, there. I have a game plan. Night guys!

And I'm Off!!!

I'm going to get ready for my job interview. I'm pretty sure I may vomit all over myself. Ack. I am sooo nervous. Please please PLEASE pray hard for me that I get this job. I really need it and I really don't want to go to another interview lol. Interviews apparently make me have to vomit.

Okay....

More videos because they are fun...

Medicated Mama

I am now a medicated mama. I finally took the steps necessary to get better from my Post Partum Depression. I was hoping to not have to resort to meds, but I was on a nasty downward spiral. I am starting to feel better.
On a more pleasant note, I have a job interview with Intel tomorrow! Say a prayer for me, I need this job, we need the money. I am very sad that I have to put the littlest one in daycare, but it is for the best.
Not a whole lot more to update, OH! Ethan is in basketball....soooo cute! I will leave you with a few pics and a video of Cameron getting down to Lil Wayne lol.

Poor Babies

My poor babies are sick. Ethan is home from school today, and he and his sister are feeling pretty crappy this morning. The baby was up all night with a fever, and they both are coughing and all kinds of snotty. I guess they so rarely get sick that when it does happens, I remind myself to count my blessings that my kids seem to have awesome immune systems. But with Ethan starting school it was bound to happen.

Weaning

So, I am struggling with a very hard decision. Cameron is 1 now, and I always said I would breastfeed until "around" one. No set date to wean. But I am feeling increasingly burdened as even though she is on solid table foods, and drinks from a sippy cup, she nurses almost as much as a newborn! I have no time to myself, and she is up literally every 2 hours throughout the night. I feel so selfish, but I just need a break. And I cannot get one from the boob-a-holic. I'm not sure what to do, I have attempted the drop one feeding at a time approach, and it was a disaster. She screams and throws a hitting, biting, scratching tantrum if I will not let her nurse. But I don't want to just go cold turkey, I feel that would be too traumatic. I don't know. I am at a loss. I feel so blessed to have been given this bonding time with Cam, but at the same time, I am beginning to resent it as well. If anyone has any advice, please please please let me hear it!!
