Good, uh, WEDNESDAY? morning!
Well hellooooo there! It's an actual post from me, not just some pictures thrown atcha! Aren't you happy to see me? LOL!

It was like 70 degrees here all day yesterday. I think it was 64 by late afternoon. GLORIOUS compared to the 105 we had six days before that, and the days and days of high 90s. I had the windows open and got some fresh air in the house. And remember those two deer I took pictures of? Well, one of them must live RIGHT behind our house. He was there behind the house, under the tree, ALL DAY yesterday. He'd get up and stretch his legs, eat some grass, then lie back down until about 6 or 7 at night, when he finally disappeared. Weird, huh? I got a really good picture of him looking right at me!

We braved Chuck E. Cheese's with playgroup yesterday. I feel like such a dork, though, because we practically just drive by playgroup. We never stay more than an hour because I can't take chasing my kids for longer than that before they start having a meltdown. I took K with me and she kept the big girl with her - they went around and rode rides and played games. Those two are becoming such close sisters - it's sweet. It reminds me of the relationship I had with my *cough*psycho!*cough* sister when I was very young. It's almost the same age difference. Anyway. I kept the boy with me and he entertained himself climbing all over the table and playing with the napkins and stuff. He doesn't do well with crowds and noise. Plus, he doesn't give a shit about any of the rides or games, he's much happier just playing with the tokens. Whatever! The other moms there all took turns holding the little girls so I could eat my pizza. And then we left. The end. Someday, when the kids are all old enough to listen well enough that I don't have to worry about them sneaking outside and hotwiring the van, playgroup/restaurants/etc. will be a lot more fun.

And the kids haven't even been out in our newly sodded yard. The window wells to the basement are still not covered and the back fence (it's a split rail) is still wide open, so it's not safe yet. But soon. Hopefully (fingers crossed!) by this weekend. So close, but yet, so far.

I dunno what we're going to do today. Probably go out shopping for a minute, because stupid me keeps buying diapers for the little babies and not the big babies. I'm basically OUT of size 4s, except for what's in the diaper bag. Duh. But I have, like, two cases of size 3s!! I don't know what my deal is with overbuying the one size and underbuying the other.

Oh, I had my HSG test the other day. It's a test where they fill your uterus with dye and then take an x-ray to see if it flows into your fallopian tubes. If you ever have to have one of these done, listen to me: it doesn't hurt a bit. It was easy, cheezy. And, not that I'm an expert, but it looked TO ME like I was all blocked up. A friend of mine had the same test and said she could see the dye making little rivers out the tubes into her ovaries, and I didn't see that at all. But I COULD see the little coils inside my tubes, and HEEB - they look just like the "bugs" from The Matrix that the agents put inside people's bodies. Ack! Oh, and somebody left me this comment:

Um, they never tested me to see if my ligation took. Should I be worried?

Probably not. I didn't have a tubal ligation. I had the non-surgical Essure procedure done, where they insert tiny coils into your fallopian tubes and your body builds scar tissue around them over a period of several months, thereby blocking your tubes.

And somebody asked what day K's birthday was. It was Monday, the 25th. She's my little Leo. Our day was boring. The only special thing we did was get pedicures together after my doctor's appointment. But, she went out to dinner with her dad and a bunch of friends, and most certainly got a bunch of gifts, so, it's all good. We celebrated here on Saturday, when everyone was already here laying sod. She loved her Kool-Aid purse and her DVD player.

Okay, I guess it's time to start my day! I can hear toddlers babbling away in bed, so it must be time to make breakfast. Waffles. Mmmmm.

Have a terrific Wednesday! :-)

Oh! I never got sick, either. Just felt tired and achy and run down for a few days. Whatevah.

Yeah...my HSG didn't hurt either! Remember I told you! I hope you weren't worried about it. (Hug) Oh, and I could see the little "dye rivers" too on mine. So, I bet you're all blocked up. Groovy! I do like your idea of staying on the pill through the wedding though, so you can chemically DECIDE when to have a period, rather than just cross your fingers. LOL

That is SO neat about the deer.

I must buy our diapers big because Daniel's been in a 6 for a long time. I'm pretty sure Pablo and Daniel are about the same size. When his cast came off, we needed to drop down a size for a few weeks, but he's back up in a six now.

Your lawn looks great! It'll be wonderful taking them outside!

I don't even understand how you can get the energy to get your kids ready to go to a playgroup! That's what keeps me from doing more with mine!

Have you thought about Autism as these behaviors are classic symptoms of Autism???

Hey Anonymous, here's a thought.

Have you ever thought about leaving your name and identity when giving unsolicited advice? No? Then shut the fuck up and mind your own business.

YES, I am very conscientious when it comes to the well-being of my children. Keep in mind I only share about 1% of my life with the people reading my blog.

God. Fucking asshole people trying to diagnose a child they've never seen or met, and in the rudest way possible.
