We finally got our children a bunk bed. They are extremely excited! We, however, spent all of Saturday night and Sunday morning building it and we even missed church for the first Sunday since we started attending. I feel really guilty. My youngest daughter is really sad about it too. I've missed church a few times myself because of the pregnancy, but never have all of us been MIA.
It's a beautiful solid pine bed, it makes their whole bedroom look gorgeous! Now there's room for the little one to have some space of his/her own in there too!
Regarding Medicaid: I finally got a hold of the supervisor. At first she told me everything was so screwed up and so much time had passed that my only option is to reapply. I broke into tears and called my husband to tell him not to bother dropping off all the documents he was going to drop of that day (Friday). I was crying so badly when I called him that I could barely speak. Before I could explain I had an incoming call beeping my call waiting I could tell by the prefix it was the local welfare office, so I put him on hold. It was the supervisor. She apologized to me, and said that she felt so bad and that she just can't turn me away like that. She said that all the strange happenings will my application looks conspiratorial to her. She asked us to bring in everything she needed, and we did right away. She gave us her direct number to deliver them directly to her when we arrived. I think she might even investigate the people working on the case and I am going to call her this week and let her know the inside information my exes connection claims to have and see if this can be worked out. Maybe one of my stalkers will soon be unemployed, and deservingly so. Anyhow, the supervisor called us later that evening and informed us that she was personally approving our application that moment and that a physician's office should be able to see our eligibility in their system by Wednesday and we should receive our cards soon. Finally.
We got a ball for the hamster to roam the house in. He somehow managed to get out of the ball by himself and he is missing. He's been missing for quite a few hours now. I'm very upset about this. This is not something I am cool with, and it's making it hard for me to sleep right now (almost midnight) knowing that he's roaming freely about the apartment. I think that ball might be going back to the store. It was very cheap, but it's the principal, ya know?
I wish we had a nursery room all of it's own for baby. There's so much I would like to do! I have a beautiful baby swing now and I don't know where to put it yet. We still have some rearranging to do. We have a gorgeous baby cradle/bassinet and even a changing table! I never got to decorate a nursery for my other babies and if it weren't for the lack of another bedroom, I could totally do it this time! Unfortunately they don't make 4 bedroom apartments except for in the ghetto and you have to prove you're extremely poor to even live there and even though my mother's sister is willing to bend over backwards for her to come back and live with her, she refuses the offer. Granted my mother is helpful with her portion of the rent here, but as she complains about it more and more and shoves bills in my face during my meals and is undermining us with our children it's starting to feel like she's doing more harm than good at times. I can't remember the last time she had something nice to say. Everything is so negative and she is getting nosier by the day. :Whine Whine Whine:
My husband and I had our first "fight" argument EVER, I'm not kidding, Saturday night while we were working on the bunk bed. It was very stressful and caused me to have really crappy dreams too. Like I had a dream that he was going to leave me and he even made plans to celebrate Thanksgiving somewhere else. Then I had a dream that we lived in my old childhood house. I was selling it because he was going to divorce me and I had evicted my renters and I was going through their different quarters and all the cool stuff that they had left behind and learning about their lives and things. It was kind of neat. Then later on we were living here in these apartments except that we were living in an upstairs unit instead and I was sitting out on the back patio alone staring off into the sky feeling sorry for myself. My husband and other guests were inside watching a sport of some sort on TV and I noticed some neat images in the sky that someone was obviously reflecting from somewhere. They were awesome! So I called everyone out to the patio to see. Everyone began to come outside and I got nervous about all the weight on the patio and I was afraid it would collapse so I stepped inside the doorway. Then all of the sudden an airplane came flying overhead and as we watched it fly away in front of us, it began to move very unnaturally. I told everyone to look at it because something was very wrong. Next thing we know it had hit something and was jolted back towards us. It landed on a building next to ours as we all ran as far to the back of our apartment as we could. Our apartment felt a sort of an earthquake. We checked out side and there was a huge fire, and likely an explosion was soon to follow, so we grabbed what possessions we felt we could get quickly that were necessary and we headed out as fast as we could. My husband came with me and the kids, and acted like all was forgiven. Then I had another dream that he was astronaut and I'm too tired to go into all the details but the point was that he escaped certain death TWICE. One of his colleagues did actually die a horrible death, and it could have or was possibly even supposed to be my husband in his place. It was a terrifying dream.
The weather is finally starting to become reasonable here!
One of my favorite sandals broke.
Oh yeah, about Medicaid, I emailed my DR to see how soon it would be cool to make an appointment with her! I'm so anxious to hear back from her! We might find out the gender soon after all! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!
My oldest daughter returned earlier Sunday evening from her biological sperm donor's weekend visitation. She told us that she got a few presents from people there for her birthday but was told that everything has to stay at their house. I find this very odd because every visitation agreement I've ever seen in the past usually has some sort of clause in it stating that the child's clothing and toys belong to the child and should move freely between the homes. So I feel horrible that they are holding her gifts over her head like that "You can play with these ONLY when you're at OUR house!" That's not fair to her. That asshole being in her life at all isn't really fair to her though. If only he knew how much hatred she has for him. One day she won't be able to fake it any longer. I give her props though, she's good. She says if she doesn't call him Daddy they'll put her in time-out. She also is forced to fart outside of the house. I could go on and on with complaints, I'm not in the mood to upset myself right now though because other than that the hamster thing, I'm in a really nice mood!
With the exception of being teased with presents at her biological father's house, I think my daughter's birthday this year was the most exciting ever. Her birthday last year she had a pretty wealthy boyfriend whose parents let him spend close to $100 on her presents. He also sent her $1.00 in quarters for Valentine's Day with a love note about how Siobhan is the best girlfriend ever! It was adorable. In May or June they mailed each other photos of themselves. It's the cutest long distance relationship. She really missed not having her cousin, Tara, and her best friend, Kyra, at her party this year though.
We've rented Star Wars Trilogy so that will be something fun to look forward to watching this week. I don't know if my youngest will be into it much, but my oldest will be really excited! I haven't told her yet though.
I made an awesome Pot Roast for dinner tonight. Yum!
I gave away the box-springs and bed-frames left over from the kids' beds after setting up the bunk bed. They will go to a couple of people who really needed them, so I feel good about that. No point in someone sleeping on a mattress on the floor when I can hook them up!
The kids somehow broke the screen on their Pixter game system so I gave that away with all the games we had to a little boy that really wanted the games. I think we had 4 of them to give him. His parent's were very very thankful. My kids' still have their Color Pixter and games, so it's not too devastating, although my littlest one did cry for while when she heard it was busted up.
I might not ever buy another kind of body wash again! I found this new kind of body wash by Bodycology called White Gardenia. I've always been a fan of the scent of Gardenia, and this smells SO good! I was in heaven washing with the scent of it!
I've updated Baby's Page -Pregnancy Info and added lots of cool things to it. I imagine once I get back to my DR I'll have tons of additions to the site! I'm so excited, I can hardly wait!
I finally got the energy to do some cleaning and I got everyone's laundry done this weekend and the house looks pretty nice, considering the circumstances. My husband even got us a nice area rug to cover the bleach stains on the living room carpet! We haven't got it down yet though. I think we're going to wait until my vacuum is out of the shop first, I don't know for sure.
I want to get the kids a DVD/VCR combo for their room. They claim to be having issues with their VCR and the DVD player we had in the living room ate one of our rental DVD movies and we had to take the DVD player apart to retrieve the disc and in the process all kinds of things became misplaced within the player and considering that it totally ate a disc to begin with, I took it out with the trash. So I guess we sort of need to get two DVD/VCR players. I wonder if I could find a couple cheap at SuperPawn sometime?
I'm getting really excited about this baby growing inside of me. I was feeling it more and more every day, but this weekend I haven't felt much. Hopefully it's just because I've been so active and busy I haven't noticed because of all of my own movements. I'm feeling more and more confident everyday that this little baby is going to be just fine! YEAH!
I am very happy about my children getting a bunk bed. It solves a lot of problems that I had been worrying about and dwelling on, it's such a huge relief for me!
I have spent an incredible amount of time typing this blog entry.
