Have you ever had one of “those days”? I have been having one of those days for the last two weeks and I am about to go batty! At last all three kids are down for a nap..yes at the same time! It started two weeks ago when I had the “vug” as Tornado refers to him. (If yoou are curious about that name go to your local library and get out “there’s a Wocket in my Pocket” by Dr. Suess, then maybe you’ll understand. We try to come up with a cute nickname for each kid to use on my blog. Tornado came up with this one. Ok so back to my frustration. I had the baby two weeks ago yesterday and that was torture enough. So I am recovering from that. Then one week after he was born I got Gastrointeritis (Sp?) and had to go to the ER to be re hydrated, So I am recovering from that. Then this last Monday (two days ago) I over did it in cleaning up some stuff and paid for it in the middle of the night….there is no need to rehash the gruesome details..So hubby gave me strict orders to do nothing..and he meant it for the next few days. I woke up Tuesday morning with this “burning desire to Pee. Yep you guessed it a bladder infection. Now I feel as though my world is falling down around me . With three kids and a dog the house is a disaster, I am chugging cranberry juice much to my dismay, and I can’t take any antibiotics or so I have been told because I am nursing the baby! Hubby put a chair in the dining room so i cold sit comfortably to nurse and keep the two toddlers gated in, but today while I was going to the bathroom tornado climbed the chair and got down a fall wreath decoration I had made last year…Needless to say the dog got a hold of it and it is in 5 pieces. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. I am over it now. Thanks for being patient in my rantings!

Here he is the “Vug” tornado nicknamed him after a character in a Dr Suess book. In “There’s a Wocket in My Pocket” One of the characters is a “Vug under the Rug”

Tackle it Tuesday
Well It has been a while hasn’t it. Well Let’s start with last Tuesday’s Tackle! It’s a Boy…I wish I had pictures but our card thingy isn’t compatible with our rebuilt computer yet so that will have to wait! Sorry ladies. He weighed 7 pounds 6 ozs and was 20 inches long. He is so tiny compared to what the other two were when they were born. Tornado was 8lbs and 3oxs and Lady bug was a whopping 8lbs 13 ozs. As for this Tuesday I am trying to master the new Microsoft word program and type our Christmas letter. That is the last piece to the Christmas cards..they will be already to send out. And finally all of the Christmas shopping except for baby #3 is finished. Then all I have left to do is cookies for our three wonderful neighbors, plan the youth group Christmas party, and finish decorating the tree..(we need hooks so I can finish). Well that’s about it for me! How about you?
