OOPS!

I was just looking back at some old posts and realized that I have been repeating myself. So sorry. I guess with so many kids it's taken it's toll on me mentally.

Kate can now stand up by herself and I am positive that walking is just around the corner. Tara is just a little bit behind Kate and prefers to just crawl super fast. Before you know it they are somewhere that they aren't supposed to be.

And why is it that we spend hundreds of dollars on great toys and they love to find and eat the cords? or paper? or boxes? or shoes?

John's police car has been out of commission for the last week and a half and we are getting neighbors asking us if John was involved in a shooting, laid off, has moved out...
The real story is that the transmission blew up and because it was still under warranty, Ford has to fix it. If any of you have a Ford I apologize in advance for what I am about to say. Ford has been notorious for taking it's sweet time to fix anything realating to a vehicle. Aren't they a car company? Plus, this happens to be the second time the car has had transmission trouble.. Fix Or Repair Daily...Ford is horrible! Fix the car already and save me some gas money (John is using our car to and from work now and it's costing me gas). I know it's really not that big a deal, but every little bit helps when you have two babies in diapers and formula.

Does anyone else think that it's getting way too hot way too early? I was VERY tempted to take the jet ski out to the lake yesterday. I think if the weather holds up today, we'll try and head out there. For those of you worried about us taking the babies and exposing them to the dirty water at Buena Vista....We're leaving them with a sitter.

Well, I forgot to tell you my sister is pregnant again and has already succomed to the Hyperemesis. She's about 10 weeks or so and has already had to have an IV line. I think she may end up with another PICC line even though she'd really rather not. This is exactly why I am not planning to ever be preganat again. One pregnancy with Hyperemesis was more than enough for me. We both agree that we'd have many more children if we didn't have to be pregnant. I guess we just aren't very good at it.

That's all the recent news. I'd better get back to the daily duties of a mom of Nathan and twins...Some days I think it's much harder to parent the 6 year old than it is taking care of twins. He tries my patience so much more than they do. I am sure that will change as they grow, but for now it's just easier to deal with the girls. Nathan has no patience and wants everything NOW!!! Hard to do whan you have to take care of two babies...How is the Octo mom going to do it? She's not going to do it alone, that's for sure.

That gripe is for some other day when I have time to write a million pages on why it's so wrong to do what she did. Here's my short opinion...They are here now and they need to be taken care of regardless of how they got here. Try not to judge the kids for their mom. They ddin't get the choice. Love them.
