In celebration of Wyatt's 10th month bday, I took a few pics of the kids :D

Blast From the Past
From almost exactly 3 yrs ago... I finally got 7 rolls of film developed from my now defunct 35mm camera. I've only scanned in a few though. I'll be bringing the rest to show the family tonight :)
Here's Xavier and Calista on Oct. 26th, 2003:
Here's Ursula and Xander, also on Oct. 26th, 2006:(Ursula's almost the same age in these pics as Wyatt is now)
She's kissing him; isn't that sweet? Well, at least she wasn't biting him...
Here's Ursula and Olivia:
Me and Ursula on Oct. 26th, 2006:
No double chin here! woohoo! Something to look forward to!
Jeremy and Ursula:
Calista, Jeremy, and Ursula sleeping at Jared and Jessica's:
Calista and Ursula:
BTW, Wyatt does that same thing; through his arms up like that! And most of the time, after he raises them up like that, he falls foward on someone... or lunges :D Its so cute :D
Calista's hair looks so cute like that...
Ursula, me, and Olivia:
Look at my face! I like the no-fat look! lol

Visiting Cousins
This is Gene with some of our kids. Gene's a friend of the family and very helpful with watching the kids at Racquelle's soccer game... a good 'Manny' to have around :D LMAO
We went this past weekend and will be going back this coming up weekend (wow! Two weekends in a row??? Must be a record or something??? LOL).
We're going to see Racquelle's last soccer games for this season, for Jessica's 26th bday (scary Friday the 13th), and to pick up our cell phones!!! Woohoo! We're finally getting some! Everyone else I know already has one and has been having one!
Xavier (Jessica's oldest) and Calista watching TV (of course!).
Calista and Racquelle playing :D
Racquelle will be 10 next month.
Ummm.... I have NO idea why this picture won't load up the whole way... I've tried many times to get it right but it just isn't working... guess its not so bad since you can see all of the kids anyways... (click on it and you can see it fullsized)
I took this picture at the park near where my sis, Cherie, works. Just her kids and mine there with me, our mom, and Gene (a family friend).
The kids had such a good time!
This is a really nice park too!
This picture was taken by Jessica... its me and Veronica :)
Doncha just love that double chin I have??? Gosh, I need to get that thing sucked out surgically, huh? ewww...
Wyatt and Veronica - almost a month apart in age.
Jessica took these two pictures of Ursula and Olivia with my camera this past Friday when we (me and the kids) went visit.
Olivia is 4 (as of September) and Ursula is still 3 yrs old; until right before Christmas.

FreeCycle is Awesome!
Yay for Freecycle!
I now have a KitchenAid dish washer!!! Woohoo! I had my neighbor pick it up yesterday and since Jeremy stayed home from work today (said there was nothing to do there), he's installing it today.
Yeah, and you can see Wyatt's reflection in it too :D
What's cool is that it matches our stove! hehehe
We haven't washed dishes in it yet; need to buy some detergent but it seems to be working just fine! AND it was clean inside! Of course, I'll do a cycle of bleach just to make sure!
In other news...
I got in my $50 Wal-Mart gift certificate! Where did it come from? Mypoints.com! Finally, after clicking hundreds of emails, I was able to accumulate enough to have them send me a gift card! I could have gotten a card for other places, but since I rarely ever go into Lafayette, I might as well get one for where we frequent, huh?
Not sure what I'll get with it... I was thinking that maybe I'll get us a new comforter for our bed. Or sheet set for Calista and Ursula's bunkbeds (that actually match each other)... then, I was thinking that maybe I should just get something for myself since I'm always getting stuff for others in my family... I don't know... I'll see and post when I do it.

My Pretty White Kitty
He's so pretty... just have to figure out a name for him... one that I haven't already used in the past or one that isn't so cliche'... any ideas???Leave a comment if you think of a good one and I might use it to name him!
Here are our two white kitties together, playing of course.

The Lastest
Well, Jeremy has a new employer and is happy and actually going in to work! woohoo!
There's even a guy that lives close-by to us that Jeremy can carpool with! That same guy gave Jeremy the truck pictured below (as well as those nice wheels and rims in the bed)! Its not in running condition; guy says it needs an engine... but, hey, that's fine! Jeremy can handle that! And now, we'll have a truck! Its a 4 cyl which is great for Jeremy's work commute. And now we won't have to ask others to haul stuff for us! yay! Its also a stick shift. Has small seats in the back which work just fine for the kids... will fit carseats.
The guy was gonna give it to another co-worker but he didn't like him very much and decided to give it to Jeremy instead :)
And here's the white kitty I'm going to keep from Momma Cat's 3rd litter of kits (still have Tiger from her first - the others were given away and her 2nd batch disappeared). Isn't he so pretty? His eyes are such a beautiful shade of blue... I didn't capture that in this photo though :(Anyways, he has 3 brothers (another white one but with stripes on his legs), and one sister (who is soooo super soft and sweet). I know we have one already given away (Brandy) and maybe one of our neighbors will take another one since her daughter, McKenzie wants one.
Our washing machine went out at the end of last week (mine from my marriage to John; so, its about 10 yrs old). Today, Jeremy's mom picked me and the kids (except for Calista since she's in school) up to go buy a used one in Lafayette. So, now we have a 'new' one :D Its nice :) Its a Whirlpool, super capacity, large tub (the lady that owns it says she has one just like and it can easily handle washing comforters), and 7 cycles and 2 speeds. :D She gives a 30 day warranty. Paid $150 for it. She said if the motor does go out in 45 days, she'll just give us another machine... but, she said it shouldn't. I'm happy :) I'm happy that Jeremy made enough last week to pay the rent, pay a few bills, buy some clothes from an outlet mall, pay for a 'new' washing machine, and buy some groceries... all with some money still left over until Friday(next payday)! Amazing what happens when he actually goes to work, huh? :) lol
Ursula wanted to spend the day with her grandma (aka Mimi), so Jeremy'll pick her up on his way home from work... so, its just me and my sleeping baby on my back... LOL
Oh, the landlord said that our rent will increase by $50 starting in October. woohoo :( Oh well... we have been here for 5½ yrs now... guess that should be expected.

WTF?
I haven't updated my blogs (this one, my girls, and Wyatt's) lately because for some reason, I can't seem to upload any of my pics to blogger.com... what's up with that?
Its getting on my nerves... LOL I have some new pics of myself that I'd like to blog... much better than the ones I've been putting up on here... lol You can see them at MySpace (which has been consuming some of my time now) or at my Yahoo folder (not sure that link will work... if not, go here and click to the right where the photos are shown).

No Make-Up Me
Yep, this is me as I look almost all the time... LOL No make-up and hair up in a hair clip... and notice my messed up eyebrows! lol Those are one of 2 things I am not happy about on my face... my eyebrows and my eyelashes.
Maybe the next few pics I put up with be with me fixed up (meaning hair fixed and make-up on and maybe even some decent clothes!) :D
At least my face isn't all swollen like it was a couple of weeks ago from that abcess under my tooth... and you can also see I've lost a few more pounds... not sure exactly how much; but it shows in a slightly less fat face! ha ha ha Double chin is deminishing! yay! I hate that thing! :D
I do know that I fit in one of my size 6 shorts! woohoo! Yay me! I have breastfeeding and child-chasing to thank for that... lol Okay, okay, I have been doing some crunches whenever I remember to; need to get my flat belly back... oh how I miss that! Notice I have some color to my face? Thanks to the little swimming pool we bought a couple of weeks ago! My girls also have some color! They look so cute with it!
Anyways, one of these days, I'll post a pic of me all made up and in a cute outfit to show my weight loss thus far... still more lbs and inches to go though!

Exchange Accomplished!
I'm ever so happy to report that I was able to exchange my camera (that no longer accepted batteries... ? no idea why it stopped) for another at Wal-Mart! Of course, they no longer carry the same one (the Z740) so, I went with the P850. Its 5.1 MP but with a 12x optical zoom. Its the performance series camera (one of 3).
I love it as well! I had to pay the difference ($55). It is really nice... lots of cool features. I can actually use (buy) lenses and filters for it as well as a zoom flash! If I were to get them, it would be somewhere in the future as those cost $150/piece... but, its cool to know I can get them if I wanted to! And since its an EasyShare, I can still get the nice printer that goes along with it :D The compatible ones range from $119 to $500. I'm excited! I have a camera again! (Again, a HUGE thanks to Kimber! BTW, Kimber, I had sent you a little thank-you gift; well, to the address on my package, and it came back to me!)

Tooth Extraction
Background:
Back when I was living at home, as a teen (around 18yrs old), I had an amalgam filling in one of my upper, left side molars (I have these 'pits' that apparently is in the genes).
Well, before I conceived Wyatt, that molar fell out. I have it in my jewelry box. And my tooth has gotten progressively worse as the time went on but I really didn't have any pain associated with it.
The night of July 3rd, I could feel my cheek & gum swelling up while I was in bed. That next morning, my left cheek was swollen up. I look totally deformed. Of course, being that yesterday was July 4th, no dentists were open.
I asked Jeremy to bring me today (so, yes, he missed out on working today for me). This place in Palmetto takes walk-ins until 12pm and its also were Jeremy went for his extraction last year; the least expensive in the phone book. So, we left the house around 9am with kids in tow.
It took a while before I was called in, maybe 30 minutes or so. Then, I sat in the dental chair for probably another 30 minutes. A nurse took my x-ray and for some reason, afterwards, my cheek started hurting a little bit. I wonder if there was any connection between the x-ray or if the thing to take the x-ray did it...
So, this petite dentist lady comes in and talks to me. She tells me usually, if there's this much swelling, they do antibiotics first and then make another appointment for the extraction. The reason being is that the numbing agents sometime doesn't numb the gums if there's too much swelling. She said that she could try but if she reached the cut-off for the amount of numbing agent she could administer to a patient and I was still feeling pain, she'd have to stop and let me make a 2nd appointment.
I asked her if she could go ahead and try extracting the tooth while I was there since I wasn't sure how long it would be before I could go back... I didn't want to have to drive afterwards; esp. if I was in pain... plus, I have NO idea how to get there... LOL
So, that's what we did.
The numbing worked and she was able to remove my tooth... she broke it in 3 pieces to do that.
I have 2 prescriptions. One for Lortabs and the other for Clindamycin.
I just looked up on Kellymom.com for info on breastfeeding and taking these meds. They both are rated the same as far as being 'moderately safe'.
Anyways, I haven't eaten yet today; just water and juice. Supposed to have a soft diet for 24 hrs.
Yes, it hurts.
I can't wait for the swelling to go down.
And no pics... not just because of my vanity but because my camera isn't working. Jeremy said to just pack it up and bring it to Wal-Mart... good idea, huh? They're really good about exchanging stuff.

Stuff
Hmmm... my digital camera isn't working with the rechargable batteries that we have... I'm going to buy some new ones and see if the ones I have are bad; or not strong enough now... I'm crossing my fingers. If anything's wrong with my camera, I don't know how anything could have happened to it. Jeremy bought me a camera case for Mother's Day and I've been faithful about putting it in there after I use it.
I'm missing pics... Like, the other day, Wyatt pulled himself to his feet a few times; couldn't take pics of this feat :((
Trying to clean out our house. Have stuff in the trunk of my car and by the door to get rid of; plus more to go through. I'm in the middle of going through Wyatt's clothes... getting rid of anything under 9mths... which is quite a bit. Have to ask Tasha if she wants the bassinet back since he's getting to where he grabs the sides of it when he wakes up and pulls up. I guess I can set it on the floor though; I'll see. Also need to see if she wants the baby bath tub back (maybe sell on eBay?).
Doing crunches almost daily and not eating past 8pm. Some days, I'm doing other things like push-ups and leg stuff; while on the floor with Wyatt.
Our computer is crashing... depends on what we're doing on it. Like, it crashes or just the program crashes while I'm playing Sims 2; even when I disable custom content.
Been having lots of dreams; vivid ones, of course. Can't really type them up since I waited too long to record them... can't remember them well enough.
Jeremy didn't get that raise he had on that one check. They said it was a clerical error and took out the difference in his next check. Wonderful, huh? So, he only went to work one day last week, Monday, when they told him about it. He returned to work this past Monday and have gone everyday since. They didn't say anything to him; he was even supposed to work that weekend but didn't because he was proving a point to them. He's not worried if they fire him since he's in demand now and can easily find another job welding for over $20/hr now. He said he's trying to get the guys he works for to understand they need to pay their guys better or they'll lose them; they've lost like 9 guys to this one other company within the last month or so.
We're having company this weekend! Cherie and her girls and possibly mom will be here tonight and Angele and Shane will come up Sunday (more than likely). So yay! I'm glad I've been keeping the house somewhat clean... LOL I have to still pick up the girls' clothes but that's about it. Most clothes/towels/dishes are clean as of now :D woohoo! Go me! :D :D :D The bathroom and the refridgerator or both clean already! yay! :D lol
Alrighty, I think that's about it... gotta eat and finish up these chores.

Timer Pics
Okay, one of the hardest things that I've tried to do is to take family pics using the self-timer on my digital camera. You have about 10 seconds to press the button and get into position before it flashes; NOT an easy task.
None of them are satisfactory to me for one reason or another...
Here's a decent one but the girls aren't even looking at the camera... and Ursula's doing some weird thing with her eyes/face... LOL
Don't like myself in this one and don't like Calista's face in it either.
Now, this one could have been the best one if it wasn't blurry and if Wyatt would have been at least looking at the camera.
I messed this one up:( It would have been a pretty good picture of us if I wouldn't have been in the middle of talking!!! Oh well... 
I took these the night before.Would have been cuter if Calista's hair was fixed and if they would have been dressed better :D
Notice how motherly Ursula is towards Wyatt... LOL and look at his face! lol

Mommy's Got Milk!
Sing it in the tune of Baby Got Back!
I like milk breasts and I cannot lie
you other babies can't deny
that when a mom walks in with an itty bitty waist and
two round things in your face
you get THURSSSSSS-TEE
cuz you notice her bra is stuffed
she's deep in double d's she wearing
im hooked and i can't stop staring
OH MOMMA i wanna get witcha
and drink your juicy pitchers
Enfamil tried to lure me
but only momma's milk makes me WAY healthy!
Ooo boobie's smooth skin
it always makes me grin,
so feed me, feed me,
cause you know it makes me happy
I see 'em bouncin'
With at least six ounces
It's sweet.
This treat!
Sit down mom, pull up a seat!
I'm tired of magazines,
sayin' formula is the thing
Ask the average baby and they'll say, "Snap!
Give it to me straight from the tap!"
So, Mommas (yeah!)
Mommas (yeah!)
can you NIP without any drama?
(HELL YEAH!)
Then nurse 'em, nurse 'em, nurse 'em, nurse 'em,
nurse your precious babes
Momma's got milk!
(Mom's sweet face over big full boobies)
Momma's got milk!
(Mom's sweet face over big full boobies)
I like 'em round and big
I'm like a little baby pig
I just can't help my self,
I'm eatin' like an animal
Bottles can't hold a candle
I wanna get that booju and slurp,
slurp it up slurp slurp
I ain't talking 'bout Playtex
Cause silicone nips are made for chumps
I like 'em real big and juicy
so give me your big bubbles
boobies don't give me trouble
rarely do I get a gas bubble
I'm lookin' at TLC's baby shows
Oh would you look at that...Oh, NO!
You can keep that mooju.
I'll keep on stickin' with booju.
A word to all you new mommas.
It's no trauma
It's not a big drama
I gotta be straight,
your baby can nurse
til the break of dawn
Now you've got it goin' on
Similac won't like this song
Cause they count on you to try it and quit it,
but you know those breasts make milk
It's not wrong. You're strong
Let's get that lactating on
So babies (squee!)
babies (squee!)
Do you wanna have your thirst sated?
Momma undo your bra, whip it out,
you make this baby shout
Momma's got milk!
(Mom's sweet face over big full boobies)
Momma's got milk!
(Mom's sweet face over big full boobies)
Yeah mommas.
When it comes to breastfeeding?
Size ain't got nothin' to do with your ability.
Bs? Cs? Double Ds?
You've got all your baby needs.
So they gave you a "success bag"
complete with a Nestle tag
But don't think that you always need
to get some free swag
Leave that sample up on the shelf
you can make it yourself
You can have some wine and sushi,
Your babe can have your milk!
Some docs wanna play that hard role
and tell you to supplement.
Momma toss it! Leave it!
The trashman can retrieve it!
So the security guard says, "Stop that!"
Well, I ain't down with that.
Cause my boobs are full
and this baby needs feeding,
It's his needs that I'll be meetin'
Some knuckleheads tried to be snide,
but the law is on my side.
I'm not feeding her in the restroom.
So stop with your doom and gloom.
So momma if your babe needs food
Go ahead and do what's good.
Sit down and feed that baby there
and let your milkies flow
Momma's got milk!

Life's Getting Better
Great news!
Jeremy got a raise! woohoo! Yep! We're so happy! A $5/hr more raise!!! Maybe we can finally get a dental plan! lol AND start saving up! Saving for a rainy day, for our own place, etc... Gosh, we're come a long way! Guess you have to go through crap to really appreciate the good stuff (yes, I'm being vague; its intentional).
Jeremy bought me some jewelry too! I'll have to take a picture of them and post them later; I don't feel like doing it right now; both of my youngest are sleeping and I think I should probably take advantage of this time and rest myself!
And YES, I LOVE the jewelry he bought me! I won't even describe them yet :D
You'll have to wait to see pictures :) heh heh heh
Oh yeah, I've been doing some much needed stomach exercises this week; I just need to keep doing them...

Update on My Life
Alrighty, as far as American Idol is concerned, I got 3 out of the final 4 right :D woohoo! Go me! hehe
Right now, I think that Katharine and Taylor are the finalists. I'm still rooting and voting for Taylor. I do like Kat, I do... but, there's just something I really, really, really like about Taylor! He did so awesomely tonight too! I really enjoyed tonight's singing :D And Simon (whom I usually agree with and like) was also very positive.
Know what really sucks? The 3 mth pics I brought Wyatt (and had pics of the girls as well done) at Wal-Mart ended up being on bad film! Yeah, great. So, no pics... no digital ones either since I didn't do my usual thing and buy the disc... sucks for me. They owe me a sitting of course; just to figure out when to go. I mean, everyone's bdays are way past. At least I have this nice-ass camera though! :D woohoo!
Calista's last day of school is the 24th. Her cousins (my nieces) have their dance revue on the 28th, so, we'll be going down there to visit and see them perform. It'll be so cute! I'm going to have to remember to bring my video camera as well!
Then, when we come back, we're going to make plans with Jeremy's sister, Tasha, to go to the Lafayette Zoo. I know the kids will love that; plus, I get to debut my tandem stroller :D hehe
Speaking of my nice stroller, I took the kids walking down the road today; it was just such a pretty day. Calista rode her bike. I think it looks like she can go without the training wheels. I asked her if she wanted to try to ride without them and she said yes! But, I couldn't find Jeremy's tools... he finally picked them up (in his trunk). Go figure! lol And he still isn't home. He had to do his deposition (from his car wreck that happened in March 2005) and then stopped at his place of work... now he's out drinking with his foreman or something like that.
Anyways, I really need to get walking more often... like daily. I still need to lose 10lbs to get to pre-pregnancy but 35 to 40 lbs to get to where I want to be. I started doing push-ups and crunches whenever I think about it... I figure that's better than nothing.
And this house... I just want to do a clean sweep. I need someone to help me just clean it out. Jeremy might help... but, he'd want to throw everything away... there are a few things that I'm not ready or about to part with. I need to minimalize; for my own sanity. We have been living in this house for 5 yrs and accumulating stuff. What would be nice would be if Jeremy would build us a storage building; that would help immensely... but, I would allow it to enable me/us in accumulating/hoarding $hit. I'd only put things like outside toys/tools/chemicals/etc and some clothes and toys.
Wyatt cut his first tooth last Wednesday! But, poor baby, he's wanting to chew on everything! I told Jeremy its a good thing he has such a pleasant personality or it would be hell for us (and him)! Ursula still smothers (almost literally) him with kisses and hugs. She wants to be as close to him as possible; all the time.
It really warms my heart to see Ursula and Calista playing together... but, gosh, when they are at odds... it drives me crazy! I'm guessing it doesn't get any better until they are adults.

This and That
Well, after witnessing Momma Cat give birth... I'm very much dismayed to say that she apparently lost her babies :( While me and the kids went visit during Easter holidays, she moved them. And I am guessing that something got them; like an opossum or snake, or something like that. They're gone :(( If I had only been here, I might have been able to prevent their dimise!
Okay, yes, I'm still into American Idol :D I'm still voting for Taylor Hicks and Chris Daughtry. I think that either Paris or Katharine will be gone tonight.
You know what I hate? I hate being behind on bills. And Jeremy doesn't care about paying them on time. I just don't get it. Why not pay when you have the money? They aren't going to go away or diminish over time; just the contrary. I'm trying be blaise' about it. He isn't and hasn't given me any money for a while now. He gave me $100 to go to visit my family... but, that was mostly for gas and I paid my brother $52 for the land taxes out of it; that Jeremy doesn't know. Not that I'm hiding from him... but, I just forget to tell him.
Its also irritating to have my neighbor's kid here all day long while she naps. If my kids go over there, she doesn't allow them in the house, so I don't allow her daughter in my house. Plus, she doesn't go out there watching them if they're over there... and they're close to a road/HWY; so, I really don't like them there... she also indulges them with candy. And its not like she has any other kids either. Just that one dd that lives with them. She also drinks too much too. Don't get me wrong, I talk to her and all... but, she's one of those people who just don't know when to leave! I have stuff to do at my house. I don't need to entertain her all the time.
Guess I'm feeling bitchy today. Sorry.
The little neighbor girl is nice and all... I have no problem with her... and like I said, I talk to her mom and all... its just irritating to me; here I am, with 3 kids, a house that constantly needs cleaning from the 5 inhabitants and she (the other mom) gets to lounge around while her kid is here; and I have to keep my eyes on them... which impedes progress in my house. Again, I'm glad my girls have another girl to play with; lord knows I would have LOVED to have someone next-door to play with when I was growing up.
