I was so excited to get the kids ready for school this morning! I had changed raiden and wyatt, pulled out clothes for ebony and kai to wear, and had given all breakfast. All this before 7am!! I was in such a good mood, and so ready for them to go to school!
Well I get her to school by 7:45 just in time cuz class starts at 7:50...but no one was there, i mean there were cars there and grown ups but there were no kids. I finally asked a woman if there was school and she said no, and if i had checked the schools web page. Well i had just the day before and from the calendar it said that only monday was a day off school but apparently i was the only one that didnt get the memo of no school! As disappointed as i was for them not to go to school, i took advantage of our last day together and had them run errands with me :)
Our first stop was walmart...gotta love walmart! Found a awesome book for raiden for only #3.95! Im a little sore form moving the apartment around yesterday but its a good pain lol After walmart i went and got wyatt's birth certificate. I thought i was going to have to drive downtown, but found out that there was a county clerks office 15min away instead of 30min! I still wasted like half a tank of gas almost but i was able to see my friend before heading back home. In that time i had called the apartments to let them know that my washer machine was broken, 5 hours later someone finally came by to check it out. And thank goodness they were able to fix it cuz i have 6 peoples worth of laundry to do...soooo not a good thing..a grown mans two infants and then me and the kids..yea im sooo behind on laundry im almost to scared to start it!
Right now the kids are watching Kung Fu Panda 2...this is like the thousandth time that they have watched it. I like it too so that makes it nice, its annoying when they love a cartoon or show and i find it soo annoying lol They have already had their dinner now i need to worry about mark. Im sure he doesn't want to eat cheesy noodles with hot dogs LOL
Time to get the kids clothes ready for tomorrow (they actually go to school tomorrow!) start at least one load of laundry, and maybe finish cleaning the kitchen. All the kids need a bath too. Good night all :)

The Moving Game
Last night mark and i talked about how the living room needed some re-arranging. Well i got a wild hair up my butt today and re-arranged the living room. Dusted everything, vacuumed at least 5 times. I was going to clean the kitchen too after i had made the kids lunch but i fell asleep with wyatt for 2 hours!! Guess i was tired, but due to marks new rule for me that im not to drink coffee after 2pm im still tierd right now. No caffeine in my system and no soda in the house. I have cool aid but that's sooooo not the same. Im proud of what i got done but there is still soooo much more to do. If mark thinks he can come home and not like it he can move the living room back himself LOL
Mark still hasn't taken down our tree in the extra room. Yet he got onto me about not cleaning the kitchen up to his standards! Im sorry our dishwasher is a piece of crap and that it didn't get the dishes smooth lol But in the end i still have to do that too. Sigh the laundry is piling up and the management office is still closed, yes that's right so far the past 3 days 6peoples worth of laundry has been piling up! Hoping that they are open tomorrow and that they can get to it before the day is over! They have been known to wait like 3 days before even coming over to fix anything for us. Let alone them fix it right the first time!
Now its time to think about what im going to make for dinner before mark gets home from work. Not a lot to go on but pork is on the menu. Ray loved his lunch of mac n cheese and hot dogs. I know the kids aren't hungry cuz i made so much at lunch they just finished the rest like 20 min ago. And bed time is in 2 hours so they will probly eat a apple and off to bed for them! Tomorrow they go back to school! Thank goodness!! Love the kids but love when they are in school so much better!

January 1st 2012
This is the time for better time management. Im making it a goal (not a resolution) to blog everyday, take a picture of the kids every day, and to tell my husband that i love him everyday. Another goal of mine is to be a better wife and mother. I know with 4 kids there are tons of stresses and i dont want those stresses to hurt my relationship with my husband, let alone me getting to irrateted with the kids. My favorite goal is that i will be attending mettings again. I went this morning and it was wonderful! So peacefull and the information i learned was awesome as well. My final goal is to spend the whole year to get to my ideal weight. I know its going to take time and dedication so im using the whole year to work on it.
Raiden is doing awesome! His meds are the same but he goes to the cardi every 3 months now! Im so proud of how his little body is staying strong. I am so in love with that little boy that i would just go crazy without him. He has the body of his father. He looks like a mini football player. Such a cutie pie.
Wyatt is doing well also. He is gaining weight (from what i can see) beautifully, for a breast fed baby that is. Ebony and Kai are doing great. Almost time for them to go back to school from their winter break. Going to have a fun time figuring out a way better schedule. With feeding raiden lunch and nursing wyatt while waiting for ebony and kai to get out of school i see myself having my work cut out for me!
Here is to a new year and better decisions :)

Soo Long!!
Oh My Word!! I havent updated in a long time!!! SOooo sorry! Big news on our end! Wyatt Edward Hartley was born 11-1-11!!
He was 8lbs, 1oz 20 1/4in long! Fattest baby born!! lol Our family is complete at last!
Raiden is doing exceptionally well with his new baby brother. He gives him kisses and tries to help me burp him. Its the cutest thing ever. He wakes every 3 hours to eat during the day and gives me a 4-5 hour gap at night!!! He is soo awesome lol
Mark had 2 weeks off of work. He finally got to see what life was like for me with just the 3 kids. He even tried taking all 4 at the same time to school...he said if he couldnt handle it then he didnt see me being able to. Men .. they so dont understand that moms have this job for a reason! lol Tho i cant believe he actually said it tho, this coming from the guy who sleeps 2-3 hours when he says hes watching the kids... He even had the nerve to tell me i wasnt being helpfull 4 days after having wyatt....it was at that point that i just ignored him.
So here i am three weeks out from having wyatt, ebony came home sick, which of course she feels better now that its to late to take her back or to take her brother. But i dont want to chance her puking in my van at the same time. Sigh a moms job is never done apparently lol What stinks about this month is that our fridge broke and from what the apartments say we lost only 200$ worth of food...really we went to Costco for our meat and that alone was close to $250....but cuz we didnt expect our fridge to break down we dont have our recipt..teaches me a lesson. Cant wait to move so that if our fridge breaks its on us and i dont have to go threw "management".
Looking forward to eating some good food next week...then again next month. Glad mark is back to work he has been trying my nerves this past couple weeks lol. Hoping i can make a good dinner tonight before he gets home.

It just boggles my mind!
Its amazing to me how family can just be so cruel to you. At this particular moment im not talking about myself tho i will get to that LOL. You would think that you would get along with at least some of your family in-laws or not. I think its just so sad that people judge you before getting to know you, or even wanting to get to know you. You could be the most awesome person in the world but cuz they have a grudge against your family they automatically assume your dirt. Sigh, its just sad.
I think family should be close because you never know what can happen. In the past 2 years so much has happend in my life that i thought my family would have gotten closer. Frankly im on the fence with my sister, and my in-laws, well im cool with my FIL, but my BIL is just dumb as dirt. And yes iv taken the past 5 years to try and connect with him and frankly hes just dumb! No matter how hard we as a family (including FIL) to help him understand he needs a good job he still looks for little seasonal jobs. Gets mad if someone tells him to mow the lawn...im sorry sir but your home 97% of the time, just got a job that doesnt start till the weekend, and sit in the house watching tv, and playin on the computer all day...just sayin 30 min out of the week isnt going to kill you to mow the lawn.
I feel that my family (husband and children) are so blessed to have raiden in our lives. What bothers me is that because hes doing well im sure that some (the other BIL) feel like we have it easy and are making it seem like he has a disability and he doesnt. If only they understood how hard it is to make sure he doesnt get sick, having to watch his every move at night (well i do that lol paraniod mom). I try hard not to treat him like something is wrong with him, let him play with his older brother and sister. But i have my moments where i find my self jumping (as fast as one 3 weeks or less in a current pregnancy) up to try and stop him from climbing over or off of something. He is learning so fast im so proud of him and he scares me every day for how adventurous he is.
So thats my rant for the day LOL Im still waiting for baby Wyatt to make his apperance. Hoping that after my dr appointment tomorrow he will be here this weekend...then again i have Raiden's cake to pic up on saturday and his party on sunday! So we shall see what happens :)

Stress
How stressed can i be right now?
~rent late/threats of eviction
~gas&electric bill thats massively expensive
~getting kids new school clothes cuz they are growing so dang fast/needing winter clothes
~remembering (which iv yet to forget) to give ray his meds on time
~getting all the baby clothes washed/sorted/& put away before wyatt gets here
~making my hospital bag, ebony&kais over night bags, raidens overnight bag w/med instructions
And all the while making sure the kids are doing their homework, getting their baths feeding them on time, making sure that there is enough space in my room for me, wyatt, raiden, and mark. Im about to loose my mind!
On a good note tho, I ordered Raidens B-Day cake yesterday. Im sooo happy that he has been with us for a year! Only setbacks have been 1 cold, 1 bacterial virus he got at the hospital. Seriously how iv been able to keep this kids sick free is beyond me! He does have pollen allergies but that doesnt surprise me and within the last 4 months he has gotten 8teeth in! So any fussiness or runny noses have been due to that. He is such a strong boy! OH so his cake : D Its going to be a marbled john deer cake with a custard filling....just thinking about it is making me hungry LOL The company that is doing it is sooo generous! Cant wait to get pics of it and post about it!
Nothing real new has happened over the past few days. Our apartments wont work with us over our rent being late. We have 90% of it but due to paying off the rest of our security deposit it made us short... and they wont wait just 5 days till marks pay day. For someone who is weeks away from her due date, its stressing me out just a little. Fortunately that situation has been delt with and taken care of. So I dont need to stress about that.
Now to get Raiden's medicine list together, how much he takes ect., and make him a overnight bag. Same with ebbs and kai, minus the medicine list. need to get their clothes and some school stuff together for when they have to spend the night at my friends house...oh yes im not counting on my sis she is on her "honeymoon"...must be nice being able to go on a honeymoon not caring about anything right now. Mark and I have yet to have our own honeymoon and we have been married for a year..yes we have kids but WTH?? That sisterly rant has been brought to us by a hormonal mother who is pissed that her only way for her kids to be at school while birthing their brother is out of the country for another week :)

8 teeth?!?!?!
Oh raiden!! For the past month iv been so worried about you, a cold that wouldnt go away. Well NOW i know why i couldng figure out why you werent getting better....back to back teeth cutting in!! His second upper tooth about two weeks ago and i guess for the past week his third and forth upper teeth (one on each side) are coming threw..one is all the way the other is just cutting threw the gum! Iv forgotten how fast babies grow! I mean kai is 5, its been a while since iv had a itsy bitsy in my house! lol
But due the those lovely cold like syemptoms he gets from his teeth hes extra flimy and just cant get that crap out. Poor boy, doesnt help that hes just about done with formula and on regular milk...had me running to the bathroom last night cuz he coughed so hard (gettin the mucus out) that he threw up his bottle. Thank goodness mark was home cuz i just couldnt handle it. Hope wyatt gets here soon so my tummy can handle all the nasty again! lol Im to damn sensitive right now. But other than that he is doing so awesome! He LOVES scrambled eggs and bread. Its actually his food of choice right now.. but today im going to get some yams and other foods to hopefully get him to like as well.
We have a costco card and oh my its a life saver for us....i tried to get into the cuponing thing, and well it just isnt for us. I mean we dont use half the stuff that we recieve cupons for. But costco oh my word, its a paradise LOL looking forward to tax season cuz we are going to get a new fridge for the apartment...been havin issues with the one thats in here. So much food there, and i mean i can get more than one craving taken care of and still have food for later! Its awesome!
