Pansyiana: January 2005 Archives

My ghetto three year old calls his sister "Shorty."

I know because I heard my daughter in the other room saying "Stop calling me Shawdee!"

Gorbulas is three! He is my baby and he is three already! How did this happen? His brothers made him cards out of construction paper and crayons and said "Happy Birthday Gorbulas!" to which he exclaimed "Oh, habby derbay!" He also got a nifty kid sized X-Wing fighter.

He is so cute. He still has a little squeaky voice and that wobbly walk toddlers have. My brother swears he is evil because he glares at everyone. But I'm his Mama so I can't help but to love him.

Baby Fredegar is in size 3 diapers because I couldn't pull the tapes closed in size 2's. Waaahhhh, he is growing too fast!

and we were snowed in. This would have been pretty cool-we had munchies, it was on the weekend so Polo was snowed in with us instead of out working. But the pipes had to freeze up again for the second time this week. This time when they thawed out, our hot water stopped working. Our pipes would do just fine and not freeze if one our kids would stop turning the trickle of water off in our bathroom. So the Agway/Suburban Propane guy is coming to check on the hot water heater and we shall see what happens.

Update: There is a valve on the hot water heater that registers water pressure going through the heater to turn the heater on. It froze and broke, so the Agway guy is ordering a new one and will replace it. I am not sure exactly when that will happen, so more heating water on the stove for baths until...

We were stuck in the house without hot water and on Thursday Polo did something to his ankle. I think it is just a sprain but it is still swollen and purple and he cannot walk very well. Luckily I was finally able to get him to go get his x-rays the doctor told him to get on Friday. So he is doing that now and we shall see what happens.

Update: Polo's x-rays show no fracture, Deo Gratias, just a nasty sprain.

We were snowed in this weekend without hot water, with Polo with a bummed ankle and the kitten who broke into our house and stayed, Melody is in heat. We did fully intend to get her and Legolas fixed, but we had a baby and Christmas happened and getting their shots was pricey. We thought we had just a bit more time. Well, we didn't. We are alternating keeping either Melody or Legolas in the pet carrier to keep them apart. Even though we live in the country and I hope to get a goat and some chickens, I am still new to this animal stuff. My only other pet, Chun Li was fixed right away, so I never experienced this cat-in-heat stuff and I am amazed how retarded she is acting. So Legolas is off to the vet tonight to get fixed so we do not have to keep them caged up and we shall see what happens.

Tonight is also Rosey Posey's Hillary Duff concert. Must husband lost won the rock, paper, scissors contest and gets to take her. Rosey Posey is running around pulling out clothes and nail polish and acting like a tween-age girl. So we shall see how she likes her first concert.

Update: Rosey Posey and Polo came back at 10.30 last night. I was watching reruns of Buffy Season 6 waiting for them. She was very excited and had a great time. Polo said there was lots and lots of screaming little girls and their parents.

It is the middle of the night and I have insomnia because the baby was up. He is now sleeping soundly, but I who amd dead tired, am awake. Agh, motherhood! Kids, why have 'em?

-A week ago Fredegar had a check-up. He is 15 pounds and 23 inches. He is a real chubbalumps. Nice fat cheeks and thighs. Since he was born, he loves to sleep on my chest at night, but he is sort of taking up all the room on my torso now. Just two monhs ago I barely felt he was there.
-Polo, my 9 tear old boy, is giving me a hard time with his school work. He will do any chore I ask of him, shovel the walk, bring in firewood-anything physical. But when it comes down to sitting for a lesson, he needs to go to the bathroom, get water, check on the two year old. It is starting to become a problem. Pray I nip it in the bud properly.
-I have had mastitis for the past week and am on antibiotics. I am trying to choke down as much yogurt as possible to deter thrush. It has only gotten so better though and it looks like I will have to go in and see the doctor. I so don't have time.
-I also have to go get a 2 hour glucose test done today because my ACG something like that test showed my glucose levels are still elevated. I asked the doctor if I am diabetic if pregnancy brought this on and he said I was probably becoming diabetic. Oh well, I guess I cannot live on chocolate chip bagels after all.
