The remaining weekend..

So after the day of shopping and eating and more shopping and more eating- I made it home to catch up on the DVR shows- and One Born Every Minute was back!! I am obsessed with this show! It is hilarious, heartwarming, just good all around. I like the medical aspect. It is filmed at one of the busiest maternity wards in the NATION- Yay Riverside in C-bus! It makes me feel normal, and it's refreshing to see something real- no scripts, no fake tans, just real reactions to families welcoming their newest members. Later, I managed to make it through enough of the Indians game to have hope that we would pull through (We didn't but we managed to NOT be shut out- which is still impressive).

Sunday we decided that we would work on the garden and then clean my car. Well the garden lasted until the very late afternoon- but it is done (and the hose is 10 feet short of reaching it). Hopefully we'll be able to see our little seeds sprout and prosper over the next few weeks!

In other news- my car.... Oh my car, it seems to be an endless battle. New alternator, the hose behind the water pump, transmission cracks, it seems like it is always something! Well this weekend was no different. after leaving my windows down all (luckily rain and burglar free) Friday night, my love husband went to put them up and realized I had barely any battery. So tonight he is going to return the battery (that was purchased a mere 4 months ago). Luckily that is all it was- fingers crossed- that will be the last bump with "grandma" for a while. 

I am also getting a puppy! OK- So I do not have the puppy in my possession and I don't have the husbands approval for said puppy- but she was born Saturday morning, the runt of the 7 puppy litter. I've named her Vienna (like the sausages I inhaled as a small child), and she is adorable! Now if only I can get my husband to agree.... Good practice right?? 

Technically she is my "niece" if you buy into the whole dogs are real family members too. Franklin and Willow (dad's mini-weiner dogs) are my four legged siblings, and Vienna is theirs. Following this same logic, I assume this is the West Virginia branch of the family, and Thank Heavens Vienna came out with only four paws and both eyeballs in the right place! She's going to be all of 5 pounds if she avoids Jenny Craig- so really, how can he say no??....

Just one of those days

" Today's the day! The sun is shining, the tank is clean, and we are getting out of here...THE TANK IS CLEAN?! The AquaScum 2003 is an all-purpose, self-cleaning maintenance free salt water purifier that is guaranteed to even extend the life of your aquarium fish. - curse you AquaScum !!! "  Quick- name that movie! ... anyone?  Finding Nemo of course! The sun IS shining, it IS a temperate 63 degrees out, and I am at work- with my beautiful view of the dumpster where the elderly man frequently confuses the stairwell for a bathroom and the trashbags for a free buffet!  In addition to that little chunk of heaven- I get to go rounds with one of our companies. Without getting into too many details- it's like trying to explain to a deaf person what sound a cow makes- doesn't matter how many times you write, act out, draw or mime- you get the same result- a blank stare. Normally, I can tolerate this company and the stress, craziness, stupidity and insan

Caden William

After a short two hours in the outside world, Caden, our perfect happy little boy was taken to the nursery to get checked out and cleaned up. A nurse came in shortly to let us know that regrettably, Caden was breathing a little faster than he should have been and that he would be moved to the special care nursery (NICU) to be evaluated. Usually babies are there about 24 hours and then are good to go back to mom and the regular nursery- and he just needed a little extra attention for a few good hours.  Dad had just left to go home and shower and gather himself. I called him, still calm and collected, and still surrounded by family. I was worried sick about my little boy and my dad took me in my wheelchair later to see him in his incubator. To sit and only make contact through a little hole with your baby is about the most helpless feeling ever. His little chest was going at what seemed like a million miles a minute. The nurse explained that his box was helping regulate his oxyge

Intestinal-Abdominus Who- I. Hate. You

This is how I feel currently- insert various stomach/ abdominal organs where Who-names are located... I am on Day Two of an antibiotic for my Bladder, in addition to the "pre-diabetes" med- which my Chiropractor kindly commented, aren't we all "pre-diabetic?" Thank-you Dr. Bill!, the prenatal vitamins, thyroid meds, Align, the extra Fiber, the colace, and the spiked apple juice that are all trying to combat my overstressed and non-working intestines. It's really like a party in my stomach right now! I feel like my medications have enrolled in e-harmony and are looking for their perfect match and just keep getting more friend to visit! Someone really needs to cancel their 90 day free trial! Basically I am miserable, I am up constantly at night to pee, then I can't go back to sleep (even though I don't turn on any lights so as not to disrupt my body's internal clock). By the time I do fall asleep my husband is leaving for work and then I have
