Highwaters



KC is growing! Poor thing is taking after me in the height department....(hopefully not forever) but he is adding inches. I can tell because all his jeans have turned into highwaters and its driving this OCD mama crazy! He's skinny as can be so all his jeans have been size 2 but now they are all to short. He still has 18 month shorts that fit. I spent Sunday cleaning out KCs closet & room and removed 14 pair of shoes and a kitchen sized garbage bag of clothes, excessive. But Im hanging on to some things "just incase" and giving my friend who's having a little boy Thursday lots of stuff too.



So as much as I hate to shop, Im going to have to =-) I do love shopping on ebay, thats where I find a lot of deals. I like to find a few different sellers who have lots listed so I can save on shipping. Then I resell a lot of the name brand clothes and shoes back on ebay. For shoes I use Zappos.com most of the time, I am a VIP member and I can order shoes late afternoon and have them at my doorstep the next day. If I need to return them they return and reship for free. I LOVE them! I Love purging things to, its such a relief. This is the end product of my day...


Uhhh and the Stanley Steamer guy will be coming this week to! On to KAS's room!

Friday Findings

Today was a lazy day, KC played hooky from preschool for no reason really except we were both to lazy to wake up. I did wake up before he did but I didn't do much. We went to lunch with a few friends at Olive Garden and came home. Spent the afternoon eating snacks, playing with play-doh, watching toons, and in between I managed to do some laundry, clean the kitchen, bathroom, and pick up a few other things. To get anything picked up with my little tornado at home is an accomplishment in my book.

My big boy is doing so going in the potty department, he has been wearing big boy pants full time since September but he was only going on his small potty & sitting on the big potty. Now he will go #1 standing up in the big potty or even outside on ants ha! He will even go #2 on the big potty, and whats best is he will do both all by himself. I couldn't have had better luck in potty training him I swear it was either a fluke, or he's just to smart for words. We have now come to the point where I have to go out and close the door. Today at lunch he had to go, so we left the table and went to the restroom. I helped him get up and he promptly told me to go out. Its so funny, but so sad because its just another sign my little man is growing up...and way to fast in my opinion.

Tomorrow is gonna be a fun night with Donna the Buffalo at Skippers, I guess its turning into an annual tradition. Last year when Hubby & I were there it was cold and they were serving warm spiced apple cider with rum and it was tasty on a fridged Florida night. Cant wait cause.....

Seriously Mama....whyd you let that guy stick me with that needle?

Today I took KC to get his bloodwork done for pre-op, and this was his very fist time having it done. Of course we get there and the waiting room is filled up. At this point Im thinking about not even staying because the last thing I wanted was him catching something else while waiting for this surgery. We have been on lockdown for a week waiting for this thing to come to an end. We stayed, and lucky us almost half the people ended up walking out because they didnt want to wait that long. When they called his name we went back & they had me sit him on my lap. They had me position my arm in front of the arm they werent getting blood from, so he didnt try to grab or move. He didnt like what was going on one bit, & I hated the feeling of having to be the one forcing him to do something that ended up hurting. He cried & wailed for about 20 seconds or so, then he just started sobbing! He was crying these huge, fat tears that just broke my heart in two! It was very quick, and the guy that stuck him was really quick, and theres no bruise or anything so I feel he did a good job. By the time it was over KC was pitching more of a fit to get the gauze and tape off his arm than he was about the pain. He doesnt like band-aids, stickers or anything being stuck to him so he was all pissed when I would let him pull it off. It wasnt as bad as I thought it was going to be, but we did stop for some ice cream on the way home to make it all better! Surgery will be early Friday morning but Im not sure what time yet, we are going to a day surgery center near the hospital as an outpatient deal instead of the hospital. Ive heard good things about this place from several IRL Mom friends, so I feel alot better about it all. Im just hoping the outcome is better than what the last few months have been, hopefully its smooth sailing from Saturday on!



Here is KC once we made it home, he couldnt stand it stuck to him one more second!

Ears, nose, & throat....oh my!

The time has come....to remove KCs adenoids and to add tubes to his ears. This has been an ongoing battle since atleast August with sinus infections, ear infections, fever, lots of snot, & lots of coughs. Finally after what has seemed like forever we got the go ahead for surgery, and although I do not like the idea of my baby boy being put to sleep, or chopped on I am soooooo relieved that this is the end of these horrible past few months. KC has just felt awful, he is whiny, he hasnt ate good in several weeks,and he puked for the first time in his life & it totally freaked him out. He shrieked in terror when the projectile got all over him & me. He had no clue what was going on poor lil feller. I, in return got to clean up my first puke mishap and that was followed up by a nice diarrhea episode the next night. It was a double whammy considering he made it past 2 years old with never having either, man have I been lucky! From what I hear from all my FB friends the majority of kids have tubes, and it has been a breeze ever since. KC did have a hearing test and he was hearing at right below a normal level due to all the puss and fluid behind his ears. The ENT Dr. said that has also 100% been affecting his vocabulary, he said more than likely all KC is hearing is something like the teacher off of
Charlie Brown...wah wah wah wah - wah wah!


The surgery hasnt been scheduled yet, but they said today it would be maybe the end of next week. The sooner the better in my mind, but he has to be fever free for a full 3 days before the Doc will do it, and so far that has not happened. He has been running a fever off & on since Saturday, and he got a new antibiotic on Tuesday. Today is actually the first day he hasnt ran a fever & hasnt been funneling Motrin and Tylenol. Did I mention that Im over all this? I really want to go back to this....

KC the Fisherman

For Halloween KC was sick, but we managed to make it to the IL's (in-laws) church Fall Festival and to Gigis house. KC was a fisherman this year and I had fun putting his costume together. Most everything came right off ebay for next to nothing, and the most expensive thing I could only find at Wal-Mart (lord help me) & that was the rubber boots at $17.00 freakin dollars! The grown mens boots were only $2.00 more, whats up with that? But I bought them, because the ones off ebay wouldve cost about the same with shipping. The little fishing pole is a game, and it was about $13.00, the vest was brand new and it cost less than $7.00 including shipping. I also found the patches, and the decal sticker from ebay. The lures all came again, from Wal-Mart and I removed all the hooks. The fishing hat he wore was my Dads,and I remember my Dad wearing this hat many times while fishing it didnt matter weather we were out in the gulf or on a river, that was his fishing hat. What is the funny thing is that KC would not keep a hat on his head to save my life before Halloween night; I tried a few times before Halloween putting the hat on him and he would take it off & throw it down, & Hubby tries constantly to put his hat on him to no avail, but he wore the hat with his costume then entire time and wouldnt take it off. Hes even been wearing it around the house! It makes me smile to remember the images in my head of my Dad wearing that hat, & to now see the little man in my life wearing it.

We started our morning off with some Halloween cinnamon rolls with orange icing & some black sprinkles, Thank you Pillsbury! KAS wasnt with us Halloween weekend & KC wasnt feeling to hot so I finished carving the pumpkin because Dr. appointments & x-rays threw the whole week off. Before dark we went to the Fall Festival to see Meme & Papa and had hot dogs, boiled p-nuts, and chips & we also let KC trick or treat through some of the games. Then we went to Gigis to see Gigi, Nan & Pop, and we ate Halloween brownies that Gigi made. By the end of the night he was wore out but he didnt want to take off his boots, he wore them all the way home until he passed out in his seat. We never made it to the Halloween Party since he wasnt feeling good, so maybe next year Mr. & Mrs. Pacman will make an appearance.

Hope everyone had a great Halloween, now....on to the good stuff!

Pumpkin carving

Better late than never! My camera broke :-( Ive had a Sony Cybershot 7.2mp 12x digital camera forever, it was a Christmas gift from Hubby all the way back in 2003. It has been through alot, banged on, dropped, snowed on, thrown around, Im really surprised it held up as long as it did. But sadly all good things come to an end and my sweet little, high end electronic, has DIED! So all the pictures from this point are the product of a $100 jewel that is KAS's. Hopefully Santa will bring me a new one this year, if not you can bet your butt that there wont be any presents left under my tree for him!

Here are a few photos from the so called pumpkin patch, its actually the local corner produce stand right down the road from our house but they had pumpkins so it worked. KC has been really sick with a sinus infection so we pretty much stayed cooped up in the house the week of Halloween. I decorated more this year outside than I have before, it was fun and I got a few new things inside. Mom got me a Jim Shore Mickey Mouse pumpkin candle holder and she also gave me a Thanksgiving dinner figurine with all the Disney characters from Lenox. I rode around with the box in my car for a week and she kept saying you need to take this inside before something happens to it. I finally took it out and sure enough the thing some how fell out of the box & broke into a million pieces. Thats pretty much the way things have been going here lately so, ehh no biggie. I called Lenox to try & replace it because there was no way on this green earth that I was telling her what had happened to it, & not have that baby sitting on the shelf come turkey day. After talking to the nice sales rep and giving her my digits, they gladly billed me $85.47, HALF of the value of the brand new one and sent it to me pronto. So I got a gift, that I paid almost $100 for. Happy Halloween to me!

Some Disney trips

I love love love Disney World, I could go everyday for the rest of my life & not be tired of it. I took KC to Epcot after his birthday to see the fireworks, I just went on 10/23 with my friend CaityBug to Magic kingdom for her 19th birthday, and Hubby & I went to Epcot for his 39th birthday this past Thursday. Every year during this time Epcot has the Food & Wine Festival (like the entire month of October & the first of Nov.) and let me tell you it is one of my favorite things to do. In my younger days, a friend and I would go every year atleast 2 or 3 times and sometimes
end up getting a room on property because neither of us were in any shape to drive. Epcot has the world showcase, which is Disneys version of several countries all over the world . When the Food & Wine Festival is going on World Showcase (that sits around a circular lagoon) sets up small booths from all kinds of countries and you can buy small appetizer portions of several authentic food dishes and various wines, beers, and liqueur. So basically, you walk 10 feet from one country to the next and if you buy something to eat you must have something to wash it down with and by the time youve visited half of the world, you can halfway walk. Before I was married me & my friend "Moo" went and ended up shutting the place down after the fireworks, we decided to get a room . Hubby (ya know, before he was actually my Hubby) was not pleased at my drunken ways and a few choice words were exchanged, and I ended the conversation in extremely slurred words "Immmm in Itally...and Im haven a driiink!! That was one trip, I have lots of stories...and thankfully Im still allowed to walk through the gates. Since Caity isnt 21 yet, she didnt want to go to Epcot so she opted for Magic Kingdom which has most of the big rides, we rode a total of 9 rides which is good considering we didnt get there until right before noon. We ate lunch at the Grand Floridian Cafe, and before we left I took her to my favorite spot, the Boardwalk. I ordered her a little cake beforehand and I told her to sit down I was going to get a water, then a came back with a birthday cake singing her Happy Birthday, it was great! Disney really is magical!

Halloween timeline

Since Halloween is so close, and Im not quite done with this years costume I thought Id post some previous Halloween costumes & photos. I love this time of year like most people, but being in Florida theres not a whole lot of change except you can watch football, strawberry season, and pumpkins - which remind you how close Christmas really is. I have lots of Halloween decor that Ive collected over the years, but since KC came along Ive started decorating more outside. KCs dressed up as a monkey for his first Halloween, and KAS was Hermione from Harry Potter that year. Last year, KC was Nacho Libre which his Dad picked on a whim 2 weeks before Halloween. Thanks to ebay, a few websites, and huge local Halloween store I pulled it off. KAS was Allison Vernon-Williams which was the love of Wade "Cry-Baby" Walker from the movie Cry-Baby. The girl loooooves Johnny Depp! She had the whole outfit, & a wig that was hilarious. This year KC will be a Fisherman, because once again thats wat Dad picked out. Inspired by Dads favorite music idol, Les Claypools song "John the Fisherman". Thankfully this has been alot easier than Nacho was. I have no idea what KAS is going to be, I have asked her several times but no answer yet.

Hubby & I have a costume party to attend after trick or treating & its a toss up between Mr. & Mrs. Pacman, or Fat Albert & ummm Mrs. Pacman. Im gonna be Mrs. Pacman by myself if I have to, because thats going to be easy & cheap to make.

Birthday ideas and more swimming lessons

KCs 2nd Birthday is next month & me and the Hubby have been bumping heads on themes, I say Oswald he says Wonder Pets. I say Im doing this thing so your vote doesnt count! I like doing different things, and KC does like Oswald the best so Oswald it is. I have already talked to my cake lady about a Oswald cake and I have some ideas for favors & some decorations but Im looking for some help here. If anyone has and birthday ideas, or anything that you do to make the day easier please share your tips. I have been searching the internet high & low for ideas, and so far I have come up with centerpieces for the tables, and thats about it. I know I can tie a sea theme in there but hmmmm I dont know. Last year was a Fun at One theme with basketballs, firetrucks, & planes. I did the colors all primary colors and it turned out really cute. I got some cute Teleflora firetruck planters off ebay and made signs fir the bed area of the truck with KCs picture and the #1. I made homemade basketball cookies for favors. I love decorating and party planning, I made all my own wedding invitations and I make alot of the decorations for all my parties and events. I need to be paid to be a planner, that would be my picture perfect job!

KC started another week of swim lessons today, and hes the only boy in the whole class. Hes surrounded by girls!. He was a little upset but I think it was from all the drama queens that were sitting next to him. Once again he was the youngest there, but he swam better than any of the girls in his group. One little girl didnt want to get in at all, so she kept getting up and running away. One time the little girl kept running circles around the pool & Mrs. Jeannie couldnt catch her so Mrs. Katie had to get out so the could corner her, and then she took off through the grass. Once she was finally corralled she kicked and screamed the whole way in the pool, and then some more once Mrs. Jeannie put her back on the side. Shes a firecracker for sure, so this week should be a hoot.

Hope everyone has a great week! And please send me any birthday tips, Thanks!

That's a wrap!

Friday was #6 of Hubbys BCG treatments, #6 is the last, final one that he has to do! And the crowd goes wild! I was beginning to think I wasnt going to make it to the last one, literally last week I was ready to get th big D. The emotional roller coaster ride you get on when someone you love has cancer is a hard thing to endure. We have had a tough battle the last few weeks, he has felt like crap, I have felt like crap, its all been crap. I had to take a few days to regroup and so did the Hubby, things just get overwhelming sometimes. Now we have one more hurdle left hopefully, another surgery in August at Moffitt again. The best news possible being when they do the surgery they dont find any tumors at all. If everythings all clear in August, he doesnt have to go back for a check-up until November, then continue the 3 month checkups. This has really been tiring on me, not only am I dealing with KC my spunky, typical 2 year old boy, I also have a needy 38 year old Hubby who thinks he should be treated the same. I know that sounds horrible, but being at home most of the day with them both is taking a toll on this mama hen. I need someone to cook, clean, and pick up after me too damnit!! Atleast KC doesnt come back with any smart comments like his Dad, I think we can blame that on the fact hes not talking. Im sure that he will end up being a mini-me version of his Dad in more ways than I care to think about,

We stayed at homebase for the 4th, Hubby has a sweet hook up for fireworks and we get the good stuff! No sparklers and roman candles here, mortars and TnT baby! The mosquitos were terrible, I mean pick you up and tote you off terrible. We dunked in Off before we went outside, and poor KC, and KAS had bites where I didnt get it good. KAS had them on her feet and ankles, and KC had them on his fingers, ear, and neck. We had a few friends over and grilled burgers and dogs. I forgot to charge my batteries for the camera so I didnt get one picture, not one! Nothing fancy schmancy, just a regular holiday weekend.

Heres Hubby giving me the thumbs up for his last treatment. I think he was faking it, what do you think?

One small kick for KC

Todays lesson went good, I officially have a kicker! He will be swimming like a fish by Friday for sure. Today all the younger kids learned to jump in from the edge, and KC made a running leap one time and pretty much belly flopped. He really has been a comical little guy through the tears. I dont have time to write much tonight, because I am actually tired for a change so Im going to bed early. Im gonna try to upload a few videos from today, hopefully it works.

Lesson #2....Dont take a tired baby to swim lessons

Day 2

Today was a ok day at swim lessons, KC woke up early to go to school at 8am the to swim at 10am. He didnt go to bed last night so he was very tired today. So tired that not even half way through the class he started yawning, then his eyes got heavy, and by the end he was laying on the side of the pool on his stomach with his head on his hands. Of course I left me camera and phone in the car, and once the parents are in the screen theres no coming out until the end of class. Hes holding his breath really good, but hes wasnt kicking his feet. When he goes under he crosses his ankles and tucks them in to his butt, its so funny to watch. The last to turns he had he finally started kicking. He cried off & on, when Ms. Katie would put him back on the ledge after his turn he would clap his hands while he was crying. It was the sweetest, saddest thing ever. Nan went with us today and Hubby even showed up, with a entirely different attitude I might add. Super surprised me but Im glad he was there. KC might end up going for lessons again next week, I will find out if they have room for him tomorrow.

Heres a snap from my phone of my tired boy on the way home this afternoon.

Lesson # 1.....Dont take Daddy to swim lessons!

Oh my gosh! This was day number 1 of KCs week long swim lessons and I was so worried how it was going to go for KC and me I didnt even think about Hubby coming. He decided yesterday he was going to come this morning and lord help I wish he wouldve just stayed home. Talking about a Debbie Downer! He immediately starts off with the negative comments "Hes to young for this", "I cant believe youre making him do this" "He cant even talk, hows he gonna understand to kick", "This is so stupid", "This is so dumb ", "Youre so mean", "Hes not old enough for this yet", "Hes cryin because your mean", etc. etc. etc. It is mean and cruel, but the lesson is only 45mins. and this same family has been teaching kids to swim for over 30 years in our community, so they know what they are doing obviously. KC was the youngest in his class and he was fine until the other kids started bawling, then he joined the party. He didnt cry the whole time, and he sat on the edge of the pool and waited his turn without getting up once. It was hard to watch and atleast twice I covered my eyes so I didnt have to look. Ms. Katie, one of his teachers said he did very good for being so young, and that on the count of 3 he held his breath every time. She also said by Wednesday the tears would be gone. Lets see if thats holds true or not. Needless to say, Hubby is not coming back until Friday if he comes back at all. BooHoo! Depending of how he does this week, we may come back next week too. I say we but what I really mean is I, the mean old Mama will force that innocent lil boy to come back to those dreadful swimming lessons.

My camera batteries were dead this morning to, so I didnt get any pictures from today. Not that I wanted any, it was pretty pitiful! Well try again tomorrow.

Day 2, in the books and swim lessons for my little fish

KCs second day of school was today and he had another very good day. His teacher says he is just the sweetest boy ever, and that he is a good sharer and seems to be such a happy baby. Im sure they just tell everyone that to make them feel better, but it is nice to hear anyways. Both times I picked him up he was happy and seemed to be in a good mood. Im able to come in and peek in on him without him seeing me and he looked like he was enjoying himself so this seems to be going good. Next week he has swim lessons, and Im battling this one. Living in Florida we are always near a body of water in the summertime so water safety is important, right? Well a few family members think its cruel and mean. I learned to swim from the same ladies where Im taking KC, and so did KAS so it cant be that bad. My friend took her son last week and she said he can hold his breath and kicks for the wall in the pool. The point of the lessons is to teach them how to hold their breath, flip over to their backs, and also kick to the wall. My friend actually didnt take her son, she made her Mom do it she didnt go to a lesson until the fourth and fifth day. I have started to second guess myself and I think maybe he is to young and maybe it is mean. Do I go? Do I make Gigi or Nan take him so I dont have to see my baby cry? Or do I just suck it up and do this thing, its only 1 hour a day for a week. I have seen some pictures and some of those kiddos are pretty pitiful! I hope its not to bad, the what ifs are really getting to me though.

Im leaving you with a picture from my friends sons swim class

Poor babies! Is that mean or what!

ok Im really back this time....I swear

KC, Mom, & I left Wednesday night for a family reunion in Aliceville, Alabama. We went there back in March, but this time we got to see about 200 family members from all over. I also volunteered to coordinate a family cookbook, wait I volunteered? I never do stuff like this, what was I thinking? I made a special email for family to send recipes to, and I got over 20 recipes at the reunion already! This should be a fun project, and I have a entire year to work on it so thats a plus. Feel free to give me your favorite recipes also. This was KCs first reunion and it was so neat taking my son to a place I in a sense grew up. We then rushed back Sunday so Mom could be at work Monday, we got home after 2am and let me tell you it was a long car ride. My Mom is not a good traveler and after about the 9th hour we decided it would be best to not speak. Im used to it so its just better that way. I love my Mom to pieces but shes set in her ways. Thank goodness for dvds because poor KC wouldnt have made it otherwise, he watched Oswald, Clifford, Wonder Pets, and Fraggle Rock and he was out by 9:30pm and we were only past Tallahassee. Monday was spent cleaning up my disaster of a house my Hubby left me, doing laundry, and sleeping!

Today, well today KC started preschool! Im a little freaked out but not to bad, hes only going 2 half days a week from 8-12. I dont have alot of friends with younger kids, so I thought it would be go for him to socialize with other kids his age and learn new things. I struggled to find the right place for him for a few months because its hard leaving him with someone I have no clue about. I found a place close where I actually knew some of the people working their from high school and it made me feel at ease. KC is not a morning person (he takes after his mama I think) so I thought waking him up would be a process but he was fine. I also thought being a so called mamas boy he would not want to stay, but I was wrong on that too. He went right in, came back and gave me a smooch and said bye bye, bye bye. Wow! Take that mama! I came back to pick him up and they said he did so good! They said he follows directions and listens so well already, and I must say it made me feel pretty darn good. I hope Thursday goes just as smooth, but I think hes really going to adjust ok.

It my now extra free 8 hours a week I will be joining a gym, getting a personal trainer, and signing up for some sort of school. Im thinking of getting a surgical tech certificate or something medical where I can work in the hospital. I have always been a creature of the night, so Id really like to work night shift so my daily schedule doesnt change to much. Im just thinking about all this, I havent made any decisions yet but I know I want to do something.

Hubbys treatments having been ok, hes done 3, so now 3 to go. Last week they postponed it a week becuase they were thinking he was starting a infection becuase of some burning he had so hes back on for this Friday. In the last month we have learned of 3 other family members and friends who are also battling various cancers. Our close friend whose in his late 50's discovered he has stage 4 bone cancer in his jaw, and also several lymphnodes. He is also going to Moffitt, and he may be starting chemo and radiation first, or may have surgery first to remove his jawbone and lymphnodes. While at Hubbys treatment, I saw a family friend who used to work for my grandparents business and he has stage 3 colon cancer. He was there getting his chemo treatments and he has 6-8 weeks of that and he will then have surgery to remove part of his colon. And also while in AL one of my Pops cousins, (my 4th or 5th cousin) recently had gastric bypass and lost alot of weight, and discovered he had enlarged lypmhnodes so went to get it checked and he was told he had cancer and he is getting treatment at a cancer center in Auburn. Its just astounding to knew first hand so many people going through this disease. Its really not fair! Please say a pray for those you know, and may not know dealing with cancer.

Thanks for sticking around! :-)


Here is KCs first day today

MIA

I am over my laptop situation so I have not been able to post or do a whole lot of reading here lately, it just takes to long to open anything. Im also too broke to go pick up a fancy schmancy new one so please bear with me. On a lighter note KC is starting preschool on June 8th for half days starting out on Tuesdays & Thursdays. Im really excited for him, I know hes going to learn so much & have so much fun. I know the director and a couple of the girls that work there so I feel alot better about him going there. I checked out several other places but its so hard to leave him with someone I have not a clue about. I went and checked out licenses and did as much research as I could but at the end of the day how do you choose? KC was right at home when we went to visit and he could not have cared if I was there or not, he was loving it.

I dont know when my laptop will be back from Best Buy, but I hope its sooner than later cause this thing is killing me!

Hubby has his first BCG treatment on Friday, I know that we will not be doing much for the holiday weekend with all of that going on.
Please say a prayer for him if you remember.

Wordless Wednesday






This is what KC looked like last night after he & Hubby came home from visiting some neighbors.
