Happy Halloween

Well it has been an *ahem* interesting weekend around here. Will left at 330am Saturday morning. Well at 330pm Saturday I learned that I am pregnant with baby number 4! *Note to self, do not move, take antibiotics, and have sex in the same month, you will get pregnant!* It looks like we are due July 2nd, 2006. Other than tired I feel great. Lets hope it stays that way. The girls are thrilled, our families are in shock and well my husband doesn't know yet. LOL He is out to sea and I am not sure when the e-mail or the phones will be up. So my thought is to go to where his car is parked and write: "I'm Pregnant, you bastard" on his wind shield. LOL He is only a bastard because he will be gone when this baby is due.

Anyway onto topics that don't make want to pull my hair out in large chunks..... Tonight was of course Halloween so Susan and her Lauren came over to trick or treat and hang out. It was a lot of fun! Here are some pictures. Thank you again for saving my butt Susan! My mom was going to bludgeon me with a cooked carrot if she couldn't see her babies. LOL!

Grant me patience, and a few other things

Dear lord,
Please grant me patience that I may not kill my son.
Please grant me more strength so that I can make it through painting just one more room.
Please grant me sleep so that I can tackle the mounds of work left ahead of me.

Actually, just grant the Navy to let Will come home so e can deal with this crap.

Amen.

Letter to Will

Dear Mr. Dobson,

We regret to inform you that your wife has once again bitten off more than she can chew. With the strained muscles in her arms, neck, and back she can barely move. Also the blisters on her hands and feet make the simplest task, taxing. Then there is the matter of your son. He has been such a "behaviorally challenged" child that we were forced to lock him in a closet by his toes and beat him with cooked carrots. At the rate that you wife works there should have been no issue of having the house painted. To date she only has 2 rooms done. We are very disappointed. Please return home as soon as possible so that we may address this issue with the appropriate actions.

Sincerely,
They.

And so it begins

I have moved more times in my short 27 years then most people do in 3 lifetimes. And I am doing it again. Today I loaded and unloaded the truck 3 times, unpacked a bit and painted a wall. All this while either holding or trying not to step on Aiden. He has decided that he needs to be up Mommy's ass 24/7. Now he is adorable and I love him to tiny bits and pieces but damn, if I wanted a leech, I'd swim in a lake infested with them.

The house is nice. It has all hardwood floors, a huge hope kitchen and vaulted ceilings in the master bedroom. I really think I will love it completely once we are all moved it. Right now though, it is killing me. LOL Since I live on the second floor now and the new place is 2 stories, I am going to have terrific legs after this week is over. Add that to the lugging of boxes and baby, my arms will look damn good too. LOL I hope to find my camera soon so that I can take pictures to share.

Pure joy

I just realized what pure joy is. It will happen next weekend when I can tell Aileen to go to her room and Lauren to go to hers and I won't have to hear them fight because they will have their own rooms!!!!!!!!!

Fall Fun

Today we went with a friend to the Hunt Club farm for their fall festival. It was a beautiful day and we had a blast. We all did a hay ride and the petting zoo. Aileen was hugged by a llama, Aiden was licked by one, and poor Lauren was bit by a pot bellied pig. My friends little girl was pushed around by a cow. I am thinking those animals had issues with being in the petting zoo! The kids rode rides and played with pumpkins! It was a perfect fall day (except the fact that both of our husbands are away right now).

Dets suck

I swear Will planned to be gone so that I could do all the hard labor while he is floating out in the Atlantic. Monday I will start moving what I can over to the new place and painting the rooms. Friday, the movers will come and move what I can't lift or can't fit into my truck. Aileen and Lauren will be in school but I will still have Aiden so this will be fun! The girls are missing daddy a lot and Aiden can't figure out what I am doing giving him his bath. LOL But we are holding are own for the moment! I still haven't heard from him but I hope to very soon.

I know, I know

It has been too long since I posted on here. With Will heading out to sea in a few days things have gotten hectic around here. So we will start there. Aileen was tested for the gifted program. We don't know the results yet so we will wait patiently on those. Lauren is doing really well with school. Will (as I mentioned earlier) heading out to sea for weeks and of course, Murphy's Law, we got offered housing to move into 5 days after he leaves. Ain't that grand. So I get to move by myself with 3 kids. Let me tell you that this is something that I am NOT looking forward too. Don't get me wrong, I am thrilled to be moving into housing and out of the dump that we live in currently, I just am stressed out trying to figure out how I can manage this with 3 kids and keep my sanity. Not likely to happen but I will give it a go anyway. We had family pictures taken today so here are a few of those. And as soon as my digital camera returns from the depths of where ever it went, I will start posting a little more!
