Where has A the Laundry gone?

Iv done 9 loads of laundry, i still have 5 maybe to go. First time all day that iv gotten on the laptop. Thing scares me now. Cant wait for us to get the new ipads so that i dont have to use this broken thing again.

Happy news of the day. Raiden has officially started walking! He falls every so often but he is on the go! Has taken two naps today after running up and down the hall. He is so strong and such a trooper! Sigh, now for hubby to cam down and de-stress, tho thats easier said than done.

LOL raiden just fell and walked up to the chair and told it that it wasnt nice!! Man i love this kid!!

Its all Lost

This morning i woke up to see that our computer had locked us out. I did some research on the desktop and -found out the laptop had a virus. The only Free way to fix it was to re-boot the system. In doing so i lost all my pics of raidens birth and wyatts birth. Also lost all my pics of raidens surgeries! Im so crushed right now. But i know my mom and sister have some pics so i can get some of them back. I also lost pics of my older two kids.
The L key sticks now as well wich i dont get but i would take a sticking key over viruses on the computer.

Time to start this horrible day. Need to finish laundry and clean the kitchen. Sigh....

2 days, all stress

Yesterday wasnt all that productive. Sure my hubby was able to stay home from work, yes we ran errands. But overall nothing really got done except maybe a load of laundry. Today on the other hand!!!

First thing this morning i ask the kids if they would put their dirty clothes in the hamper. They decided that they wanted to put their dirty clothes in their closet instead and get mad at me for asking them to put it in the right spot. Take my daughter to school, and then round 9am i get the most awesome phone call. Miss thang told her teacher that she was hungry and that mommie and mark eat breakfast but dont feed her. REALLY?!?!?!?! Yes this morning i forgot breakfast, but i never let them not eat. Sigh, the things kids tell their teachers. I had to do an advance on marks account just to make sure we could go out and buy "snacks" for ebony seeing how im "forgetting" to do that too! The school that she goes to is awesome academically but it sucks when it comes to the teachers butting into families lives, especially when the family is struggling and all they do is hinder instead of help. So i bought the biggest bag of carrots so that ebony can have a healthy snack and we have a thing of oat meal so she can have breakfast.

Our rent is going up starting april 1st, so we may have to move. We want to stay but if we dont qualify for the new rent price then we are forced to move before the kids school year is over, and i flat out refuse to drive them back and forth like i did when ebony was in kindergarten.

On a happy note raiden has begun to walk...not all the time he needs to be coaxed but he is defiantly trying. Im so proud of that fat boy!!

School or no School...how embarrassed was I!!

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.
