just another Saturday night

My youngest. He's a real looker ain't he? He constantly does funny things like this. I'm not sure why he's missing his shirt this time. And the fact this was taken at my mom's and his shirt is missing makes it more mysterious cause he'll get nekkid at home here no prob...not at his "honey's" house, as he calls his grandmother. He used to call me honey, but has passed the loving nickname down to my mother. He loves the heck outta that woman. Those two share enough giggles and squeals, chases.. she says the same thing I do "You're lucky you're cute"... casue otherwise he'd get himself in some deep trouble.

Story hour at the library

We had story hour tonight at the library. Grandpa was even there to join us, as was grandma. Grandpa came right from work!

We (they) got to pet bearded dragons

Mini alligators, which my kids weren't too sure about at first

And an Albino something or other snake. It was a good story hour.

some photo editing I"ve been doing

These next couple are about a boy who died when he was 13.

When his "anniversary" comes, I"ll talk about it more.

He was a beautiful soul, and although claimed not to like children

he took mine in as a brother

And his momma misses him every second of every day.....

Five for Friday

1. They say the heat wave has broken. I beg to differ...seriously. I stepped outside today and I was taken aback by the humidity. I scowled even. I think I even said some not nice words. I think the weatherman is WRONG. Just sayin.

2. The younger ones in this household tried to execute world domination today against their leader. Many battles were fought, and in the end I think it was a tie. This Leader is exhausted and so are the mini wanna be world dominators who are already fast asleep in bed. I was persistant in time outs and what not, however, their strength, persistance and younge age gave them the upper hand at times. Three against one isn't always a great shot during the day. All daddy does is raise his voice and they stop. Perhaps I need to get a daddy voice.

Hopefully Monday, when it rolls around will be better. If not, I might go into hiding. We all know we have our good days and bad days and boy.... today wasn't classified as a good one. At least not for this leader..lol.

3. School shopping must start soon. I have the oldests first day outfit, and I got it at kmart for under 10 bucks for shorts and a shirt. I have been looking around for my Daughters first day outfit and I can't find anything I like or I think is reasonably priced. Kmart doesn't have a good girls selection in her size. lots of short shorts, which I call "Hootchie wear" and I refuse to send her to school in that. She's 4 not 14. Even at 14 I don't think I'd let her dress like that.

4. I saw my doctor the other day and he just increased a medication dose. However when I went to the pharmacy, he had it all screwed up and they had called him twice to clarify because him and his "nurse" had everything all mixed up. Its a good thing the pharmacy pays attention. and its a good thing I PAY ATTENTION, because this is like the second time they've made an error. And I left without my increase because they hadn't gotten it right STILL. Really, cardiologists are very high paid and hes rated at one of the "best" in his field. Then what's the problem?

5. I don't really have any new pictures. I"m too tired from being chased by 3 kids all day. I try to pull the camera out and they all run. I think its because they are hiding proof of their secret plans for world domination and don't want proof on film. (kidding really)... Its just in summer, we go to the pool and I dont bring my camera cause I dont have time and I dont want to get it wet or stolen. So I chose a picture of our Cat. Who is in heat and almost impossible to shut up. Who has to get to the vet to get fixed or we might all go crazy and seek hiding. We got her from a friend who was going to give her to humane society. She's a wonderful cat, just not wonderful when in heat. We let our youngest name him since the other two were gone. Her real name is .....you ready for this "weinerbutt"...but usually our kids call her "baby" or... "kittypie"...or "kittykitty"..lol. weinerbutt....thats what we get for letting him name her.

we're having a heat wave... a tropical heat wave

I don't tolerate heat well at all. Seriously I tend to break down and almost tantrum at the thought of living without air conditioning or things like that.
I was pregnant with Jax, our youngest during the summer and I remember we moved in late August/September and we moved into this little old house that when we toured it , it had a window unit. When we moved in, TA-DA, that was gone. We went a few days without air and I was miserable. Like crying, moping swearing to goodness I would melt and die. Being heat intolerant is one thing but being pregnant on top of it? Ohmygoodness. Luckily my husband found a window unit where I camped out in front of the rest of the warm weathered days.

So this heat wave we're having? went from a "heat advisory " to a "heat warning" or whatever. Really? where its been 97Degrees today with a humidity index of like 80? yeah. Not happy.

luckily we have a/c in our apartment, but we need every fan and wish to get it back to where we sleep. and I haven't been sleeping the best and not sleeping the best triggers the whole heart issue I'm having issues with...
I had that ablation like 6 weeks back. two weeks after I started having reoccuring symptoms, where my pulse would jump real high again and then the PVC's would come back. we switched back and forth between medications and I was pretty miserable. Then we went back to ONE medication and it was good for a while. Then I had to wear a holter monitor after an ambulance trip to the ER, and tomorrow is my check up with my electrocardiologist. I know the results from the holter weren't the best. Basically its like the surgery didn't really help. so now they have to, no WE have to decide on a treatment plan and I'm really hesitant on adding more medications. I don't know what way to go from here, but my body is pretty sick of medications they way it is. I feel pretty wiped out from all the adding, subtracting and turning around of medications. That's hard on anyones body.
so the heat, lack of sleep, the heart issue makes me pretty crabby and the kids fighting like cats and dogs?
fall can come any time now.

heat advisory until thursday 9pm

We're under a heat advisory until Thursday at 9pm.
I hate that kinda heat. Where you go outside and theres no room to breathe because not only is it hot out, the humidity is near 100%.
We took the kids out for 10 minutes before much tantruming went on about being hot, etc...lol.
I can't wait for thursday at 9pm
