Sicky, Sicky

Well, we probably won't be doing anything fun today because Tom-Tom has been sick for the past few days. He's been throwing up since early Friday morning. He's been throwing up and has had diarrhea. :( Also, on Saturday evening when his daddy brought him home I took his temp and it was 103.1!! I was freaking out!! lol I was searching the internet and even called the nurse line that is provided by his insurance. My poor baby. Thankfully he hasn't had a temp that high any more and he hasn't been sick all morning. Hope he gets to feeling better soon.

Work and play ;)

So, today I was scheduled to be off from work and (of course) we had two people call out. Therefore, I was called in to come fill in. BORING!! lol

Now time for the "play" part of this post! ;)

So, my cousin's sis-in-law had a Pure Romance birthday party. Let me just say it is soooo much fun!!! :D If you have never been to one and you are invited GO!! You get a demo of alot of the lotions, potions, "toys" and you get to know all of your girlfriends a little bit better! lol

I bought stuff called Mini Nights of Passion. It says "this set of 5 Pure Romance favs will take you through an entire evening of romance, from pheromone-infused bubble baths to sensual massage -- and beyond!" Oooo!! lol Well, I'm off to play with my new toys! See ya later!!! ;-D

Fall Fun

So, I know I haven't posted in a while. Not much going on around here... Well, I take that back. I got a new job. I work at a nursing home doing housekeeping I started in the middle of July.

I've had to replace alot of stuff on our car which is a 94 Chevy Corsica. I've had to replace the brakes, tires and put a new battery in it. Now, the heater coil is busted. I can still drive it because one of the guys that works for my landlord bypassed the heater coil. So, it still runs I just don't have any heat. It sucks in the mornings when I need to defrost the windows. Luckily it's not cold here yet so I don't have to worry about it other than the defrost part.

We did get another car, too. We got an 05 Malibu. We only got it because we needed a car ASAP and we didn't know what was wrong with the Corsica at the time.

Now for the fall fun part of the story! We went to the Shuckles Corn Maze today and let me just say that we all had a BLAST!! It is more than just a corn maze. They have all kinds of activities and loads of fun stuff! Here's some pics.

5 Question Friday

5QF Mother's Day Mania has been postponed until tomorrow. Because everyone is not a mama she decided to not have a Mother's Day themed 5 Question Friday. 5 Question Friday is brought to you by Mama M.

Now onto the questions! :D

1. What is your worst memory of your siblings?

I don't have any siblings so I can't answer this one.

2. What was YOUR naughtiest childhood memory? (Must be something YOU did, no pawning it off on someone else!)
I think that would have to be the time that I busted my cousin (John-Warren) in the head with his toy motorcycle. I don't remember what happened in order for me to do that. I just remember getting scolded by everyone in the family! lol

3. Where do you like to go to relax?
Ummm... bed!


4. What was the last thing you won?
I haven't ever won anything.. no wait.. I take that back I won a makeover back on 2004 or 2005, but couldn't go because I didn't have anyone to take me. :(

5. If you could be on a game show, which would you choose?
I think I would go on Family Feud. I LOVE playing online!

Mother's Day Mania -- Day 2

Today's the topic for Mother's Day Mania is birth stories.

Tom-Tom's birth was VERY unexciting!! I take that back his BIRTH was exciting, but the labor part of it wasn't. I will tell my story anyway, though!

**This is copied from my pregnancy journal (The day after I had him)**

12/21/2007 - Baby Thomas is here! Finally after being 5 days past due.

I got to the hospital a little after 7am. We got stuck in traffic on the way here. They broke my water at 9am after 3 tries and put me on a pit drip. At 10:30am I was getting my epidural. It didn't work the first time it only went down my right side. So they had to come in and re-do it at 3 something. At 4pm I was 5cm. At 5pm I was between 6-7cm. The doctor wasn't ready when he was though! I had to push untiil he crowned and then had to wait for the doctor to get into my room before he could be delivered. He was born at 5:56pm. 7lbs. 9oz. With chipmunk cheeks! He looks just like his daddy.

See.. I told ya! Not much to it! I did forget to mention that the hospital must have loved me so much that they gave me an anesthesiologist in training!! OMG did she hurt me!! I was sitting there and she was rooting around in my spine then all of a sudden I feel this SHARP pain go up my spinal column. I know your're not supposed to move during an epidural because it can paralize you, but it was a reaction that I couldn't control. Kinda like when you touch a hot stove and you automatically jerk your hand back. That's what I did, but with my back!! Sounds lovely doesn't it!! It didn't cause any damage. *wipes brow* Thank God she didn't come in and do my second one!!

Proud Parents!

Dada and his little baby!! :-D

Mother's Day Mania -- Day Uno!

First off, Happy Cinco De Mayo!! Nothing going on here for this holiday. I wish I could of at least gotten some Mexican food and possibly a Corona or two. We're broke so that didn't happen. :-( Oh well.

So, today is the first day of Mama M.'s Mother's Day Mania and today is Whoopsie Wednesday.

Here's my first whoopsie with my one and only Tom-Tom.

*Takes deep breath* Here goes nothing!

So, Tom-Tom was between 1 and 2 months old and I had just finished breastfeeding him. He started to spit up a little so I sat him down on the bed to reach over and get a bib. Well, dumby me didn't think to get a bib before I started feeding him so I had to stand up and reach over to the chest where the bibs were hiding. I propped him up on some pillows that were sitting right on the edge of the bed. Looking back on it that probably wasn't the smartest idea! I, of course, wasn't thinking about it at the time. Anyway, I stood up grabbed the bib and turned around just in time to see my precious little baby hit the floor... head first! I tried to catch him, but it was too late! He hit the floor. I said a few choice words and immediately FREAKED!! I tried to look calm in front of my cousin (whom we were living with at the time) while I walked out of my room to get the phone. Inside I was panicking, though. I quickly explained the situation to my cousin and then called my husband (fiancee) at the time. He was at work and I told him that he HAD to come home and take us to the doctor. I felt like a horrible mommy!! Luckily, he just got a bump on the head, forehead, to be exact. Woo! *wipes brow*

I know I've had more, but that's the one that stands out the most to me. Maybe, because it was my first whoopsie as a mother. Maybe because it was so traumatic, for me at least. He probably doesn't remember. Thank goodness!!
