Here are a few pictures from Delilah's Birthday party. The little stroller is from Kale and I, Rosy and Jason gave her the baby. It's really cool because the stroller serves as a walker also. She is doing really well walking behind it.
Judy's complaints this visit haven't been as often, but she has a few. Her chief complaint this morning was my pots are all too big. She wanted a smaller one to make oatmeal, the other one works but she "doesn't like the water spread out so far." If she hadn't used steel wool on my smallest pot ( a few visits ago) then I would have the right size pot. She often uses steel wool or brillo on my nonstick pots and pans, often when I am not home, and no matter how many time we tell her she can't she doesn't listen. I guess I can't complain too much since she bought them all for me as gifts for various occasions.
Yesterday sucked, Kuddle got sick in Sophia's room and had liquid poo all over her carpet. Her carpet is dark brown so we could smell it but not see it and Judy stepped in it. Is it a little wrong that I took a little pleasure from that? She cleaned up most of it with paper towels and I shampooed the carpet twice, but it still smells awful in there so I need to do it probably 2-3 more times.
Delilah went to the doctor yesterday for her well baby and shots. She is now 29" long and 22lbs which puts her in the 50th percentile. My kids start out average or above average then it starts going downhill at 18-24mths. Judy took her in for her shots, I won't do it, I can't watch that at all. Apparently they gave all three shots at once and Delilah was so pissed she held her breath. They were yelling "breathe" at her. She finally did and then screeched. She didn't sleep really well last night but who can blame her.
It is cold here, which is unusual for September in KS. Right now it's only 59 and it is only supposed to get up to 65 today. So I am sure I will endure some complaints from the mil about the weather. We also haven't gone out as much this visit, she doesn't have to pay for gas in my van, I do and I can't afford to go to KC everyday. So I believe she is bored. If she offered to fill my tank I would take her somewhere, but she hasn't so we will stay home (or in town) until Saturday. She is wishing my brother didn't have Kale's car, but his has two flat tires and a donut on it, plus the muffler is busted, so he is borrowing Kale's. I don't need it, so why not.
One more week until she is gone and life can go back to normal. I am glad she comes for the children's sake, even if they act like lunatics while she is here.

Of course... you know I always say this... but she is absolutely GORGEOUS!! like crazy gorgeous!! just beautiful!! :) I love the cake pics. :)
Happy First Birthday Delilah!! :)
wow. one whole year old. can you believe it?? i know time just flies right on by... i'm afraid to blink these days... my babies are going to be THREE!! holy shit.
i hope your visit is going okay... and that you aren't too stressed out these days... althouh I can imagine.
i have read a few posts to catch up and i think it is utterly hilarious that your MIL stepped in the cat pooh!! but that is maybe just me. i think it is fine that you thought this was funny since you had the misfortune of having cat pooh on your carpet to begin with... you deserve a little laugh.
Plus i have a strange sense of humor... i always think things like that are funny... as long as it wasn't me that stepped in it. lol
also camping is fun... but a lot of work... i think you made the right decission since it would have all fallen on you, the work i mean... although your mil would have been there you would have done most if not all of it.
i'm sure the girls will be fine without going... they will have fun no matter what you do with them... they always do. :) plus you did a lot w/ them this summer and all year... so if you are feeling bad about cancelling don't and if you aren't feeling bad, then good you have no reason to. :)
things are getting a little better around here... I think i was definitely PMS'ing... gosh!! it is horrible. i think i need some meds and some hormone control meds. ugh. seriously though i'm going to call the dr. soon... once we have a schedule w/ school all set and all that... I was so out of it and just totally miserable. ugh. i hate being that way... i hate how i feel and i hate what the kids have to deal with. :( not fair. and poor bryan he just doesn't know what to do... but oh well he will probably never figure it out. lol
well hang in there love, i'm thinking of you. and if there is anything I can ever do to help you out... I'm here. if you want to chat you have my email... or here it is again...

I still hold my breath when I get shots...I am scared of needles.
Jennifer,
She is, but thank you anyways. ;)
No I can't believe it at all. I still wish she would sleep through the night at least once a week, but soon I hope.
It's been alright, she is bored to tears I think. I just don't have the gas money to go trapsing through the country side every single day.
It was dog poop and it was runny, and therefore hilarious. Only because it didn't happen to me. But cleaning it up has been a major bitch. Three days and the smell is still there, slight but there. We got some stuff that will hopefully be rid of it soon.
Trust me I don't feel bad at all about not taking them. They are going to Build a Bear and the zoo this weekend, that's good enough. I was honest with them and told them I didn't have the money to do everything and camping had to go because Sophia's birthday is more important.
Have you tried taking vitamin B-6? It really helps, trust me. Judy told me to take it when I was a raging lunatic during my period. It seems to really help, me at least.
Thanks for thinking of me. I have been thinking of you too. Especially when you disappear for days at a time. :P
Jacki,
So am I. That's one of the reasons I don't/won't take the girls to get them. I am afraid it will be worse for them if they sense I am worried.
