Well, you guessed it Angella had her baby. Took longer than I thought it would though. I will leave all the details to her and her blog as to how much she wants to share.
But what I can tell you is that her name is Emily Dian Dykstra and she was born around 2:13 today weighing in at 8lbs 51/2 oz. and 21 inches long.
So Welcome Baby Emliy, I can't wait to see you. I am SURE you are a beautiful little girl!!!!!
We love you
Auntie Mel, Uncle James and cousins Keenan and Haylei

Poor Little Haylei
The little princess is sick. She wasn't feeling well for a bit now. It started last week and I took her into the clinic and the dr there said that it was just teething. I was thinking WOW, she is having a MUCH worse time with this than Keenan did. She got a bit more energy but was still really off. Just not herself. A lot more cuddly, snotty, poopy and cranky. Not tonnes but enough to noticed. Yesterday she was like she was last week but this time her butt was raw and RED, but that has happend before and it actually WAS teething. So this time I chalked it up to teething again. I gave her her tylenol, anbesol and medicated butt cream.
Today Maria (she watches the kids during the day) called me because Haylei was just TERRIBLE. She hardly ate, basically a couple bits of this or that, and that is NOT Haylei. Normally she is munching on something ALL DAY LONG. And she only had 3ish bottles today where in the same time frame on a normal day she would have gone through around 8 of milk or water/juice. And apparently she was rather lethargic, all in all NOT being her on the go self.
I took her to the clinic again today, saw the same dr that we saw last week and now he says that she has an ear infection. And he says that the poops bother him so I have to take a poop sample to the lab tomorrow. Here is my question...If this is an ear infection could it have started last week ? If so, what could happen if this has gone untreated for that long ? And if any one out there has had to deal with them please fill me in because I have never had to deal with them.
This is one trait that she got from Daddy, apparently he suffered from them when he was small.

Baby D's arrival
For those of you who know my sister Angella know that she is pregnant.
Well as we speak she is more than 3cm (well that is what she was at the dr's earlier, she is probably a bit more by now)!!! She went in and got her membranes stripped today and when they did that she was already at the 3cm. So now it can happen any time. I just talked to her and she said that she is getting contractions on and off but not good enough to bother timing them yet. If nothing happends then they are in first thing tomorrow morning and then will break her water...if that don't work then they will start the drip. I doubt if it will have to go that far because when she goes, she GOES. There is no fooling around, she gets them babies out and FAST!!
You see she isn't actually due until the 21st(I think) but because we grow them BIG and she goes so fast the dr can kinda control it. Plus Angella was told that if the baby was to go to term it could be around the 11 pound mark!!!! Holy crap, I wouldn't want to go to term either if I were her!!! 9 1/2 was enough and BOTH of mine were late.
Once I hear more I will let you know!!
I'm thinking of you Ange!!!

Time ? What time ???
Man, there just isn't enough time in a day. I know we all know it but over these last few weeks it has REALLY hit me. I have this list of things to do but it seems like there just isn't enough time to do them. I have one thing on my list done and it has been 3 weeks. I just don't get it. I spend all day cleaning this house, that is when I'm not playing/cleaning/feeding the kids. Not that I'm complaining about that but then once I get them to bed, check my emails (looking for James' of course) and everyones blogs (cuz I'm a stalker LOL) I just don't feel like doing much after that. I will putter around a bit but to start some big project...I DON'T THINK SO!!!
But my mommy is coming in 2 weeks and she will be here for 3 weeks so that should be enough time & help that I might actually get ahead of the game. To quickly fall behind after she leaves. But at least while she is here I will have some help.
The single parent thing was hard enough when there was only one kid but doing it with 2 is EXHAUSTING. I know there are people out there doing it, my mom did it, but it is FREAKIN tiring. I guess I can take solice in the fact that there is an end, not any time soon, but it is still there.

IQ test
So I took this IQ test online....hahaha. It says that my score was 126 and that I'm Highly Intelligent. I just had to share that, I found it funny.
Return of the Brain
Well, my brain has been on auto since James left. Doing what I have to do to get through the day and before I know it the day is over.
I have been complaining that since James left my vacuum SUCKS. Well actually that is the problem...it doesn't. Today the brain kicked in and I decided to take it apart as see what was going on. I'm glad I did, the filter was JAMMED PACK with crap...and saw dust.
To be totally honest, things like vacuuming, laundry...generally most house cleaning James did. I had my stint where ALL I did was clean but then I basically went on strike and James picked it all up. So with him gone and a brand new BIG house I had to step up again.
While his dad was here they framed in the wall and did the electrical in the basement spare room. And apparently used the vacuum to clean it all up. Well, the vacuum didn't like that and when I started my investigating it threw up on me. Which was my first hint that something was off. Once I got it all out it was about the size of a tennis ball...no wonder the dang thing wasn't working so well.
Even though I got it working it still is a cheap crappy vacuum. It works okay on carpet but not so well on hardwood or tile. And seeing how we have more tile and hardwood in this house than carpet I STILL need a GOOD vacuum. Any ideas on a GOOD vacuum with GOOD suction that DOESN'T cost an arm and a leg ??

Accomplishments
Okay, so I have this HUGE list that I want to accomplish before James gets home. I know that is still a long time but I hadn't even started it until today. With this last week being so RETARDED I just haven't had time/felt like it. I woke up this morning and decided that enough was enough and it was time to start on THE LIST.
See for those of you who don't know much about the military, usually when the guys are gone the wives at home make a Honey-Do-List with all of the things that he needs to do when he gets home. Well, mine is backwards.
So included on that list is to recover the dining room chairs. See when we bought our set it had cream colored seats and that didn't work for long in this house. Some were even worse with fruit punch on two of them. Lets just say Keenan isn't the cleanest eater and at least 3-5 time a week he spills his drink. That is why we give him everything in a tupperware cup that has a tight seal and a straw hole in the lid. Here is one of the originals without the juice stains, just real yucky.
And here is the newly covered one.
It is a vinyl so that we can just wipe the messes away.
Other stuff on my list is...
-Organize the den, since we moved in it has been rather neglected. I think I've tried to clean it once and got as far as cleaning up the writhing space.
-Attack our room, the other neglected room.
-Put up shelves in our bathroom for all of James' products. Just kidding its all my crap.
-Re organizing the kids rooms
-Putting up all of our pictures
-Organizing the basement & storage room.
-Drywalling the spare bedroom
-Organizing the garage
-Building the kids a fort, (I already have the wood I gotta clean the garage so I can use it as a work shop.)
Out of all of that all that I have done is the chairs. All of that should keep me busy for a bit...I hope.
I think that the worse part is is that I was procrastinating on this post. LOL!!!

Sicky little boy
Okay, just when I thought the rough week was over poor Keenan gets sick.
Dayna came on Sat and we did a little shopping then on the way back to our house there happend to be a Carnival so we stopped and Keenan got to go on some rides...HE LOVES RIDES. But he is in that in between stage where the kiddie rides aren't enough and most of the big kid rides are too much.
Anyways, we got home and just kida hung out. That noght he comes into my room around 0400ish crying about a sore throat and yucky tummy. It was downhill from there. I was going to see if I could get someone to watch him while I took Dayna back into town on Sun but he seemed like he was on an upswing. I was wrong. Then last night he had me up around 0300ish. Poor guy.
I took him into the clinic today and they said that there was a virus going around and to keep doing what I was doing but they were going to take a swab anyways. Good thing too because he has strep throat. Poor little man, I know what that was like because I had it almost once a month when I was younger.
So needless to say that he is getting the ROYAL treatment, and hopefully we get this thing licked soon. :(

More AWESOME pics of the Kids
They turned that into this...how ADOREABLE is that????
And they turned this one
to this one...
Sears
Okay, I know I haven't had the best luck with customer service lately but I can say that Sears made up for it.
I got pics done of the kids and they were supposed to be magical effects but when they didn't come in I called to ask why they weren't in yet they told me that their Lab didn't do the backgrounds that I wanted anymore and that they have changed backgrounds. So they gave us a few regular pics done of the kids and refunded my money, AND gave us a free session so that the kids COULD get magical effects. The best thing was that they not only gave us the first batch of free photos they also didn't charge us for the next sitting fee, all of the reg pics that they use for the magical effects, the magical effect PLUS they gave us 2 magical effect per kid when the original order was only one per kid. Talk about a SWEET deal.
BUT THEN... to top it off the originals STILL came. So I ended up with 3 magical effects per kid, all of the reg pics plus extras for killer cheap. Now that is what I call customer service. I don't know if I plan on using them much because they do cost ALOT more than Walmart but I will say the magical effects are worth it. They turned out SOOOOO awesome.
Here was Keenan's original pose...
And they did this with it...
And these were the extra magical effect they gave us...

TODAYS TOPPER
Okay, like today wasn't bad enough...
I rush home from work so that THE BRICK can deliver our footboard...finally. We only bought the bed back in May. We told them that it wasn't needed until mid Aug...no problem we were told. So moving day comes and we get a headboard, rails and the mattresses. NO FOOTBOARD.
After many conversations with their shitty customer service we got NOWHERE. Finally they say that they have it, and try to deliver it the other morning but I was at work. No one called to arrange a drop off time. Finally they come today, take the footboard upstairs and go to the garage to collect the other pieces...they go to take the headboard out of the box and guess what...ITS BROKEN!!!! So now they say that it is a special order and we are looking at end Oct.
I have fired off 2 emails to the Vice Pres of Western region expressing how pissed I am.
This day has SUCKED SOOOOOOOO bad, that if anything else happends I am going to crawl under my sheets and NEVER come out!!!!

Holy FRUSTRATING!!!!
Okay, now I am serious...where is that freakin knife ???
So I go to the Dr's this morning and he decides that until my foot heals that I need to be on a TCAT (temporary medical category) outlining that I cannot do certain things because of my foot. It says that I will be on 1/2 days until Mar 07. Is he CRAZY????
The thing is is that I was already on a TCAT because of my knees...blew em out in basic training and have been fighting for someone to see them ever since. Finally (4 YEARS LATER) they decide to refer me to a orthopedic specialist. Sounds GREAT...6 months later still no word from the orthopod. The kicker...I was referred to the SAME office that I have been to 3 times for my foot. Apparently these so called SPECIALISTS DON'T specialize in multi tasking.
So now that I am on a second category stating only 1/2 days I can't go on my course which I need to advance in my career. Not only that but if I don't get better they could possible medically release me. NOT GOOD!!! The last thing I want to do is get out of the military. I LOVE THIS JOB!!!
So now with James gone, new house, property line issues, 2 kids at home I get to have this thrown at me too.
All I want to do is curl up and NEVER face the real world again. I know it won't happen but I can only wish.
So that is my rant for the day...OH, not yet. Then (because like I don't already know that I'm FAT right now) the Dr says that if I lose weight it should decrease the strain on my knee...YOU THINK!!!! Like I haven't been trying to lose weight. Dumbass, what does he think that I enjoy being FAT??!!! Hasn't his mother even told him that if he didn't have anything nice to say then he should just SHUT UP!!!

The thing is is that I was already on a TCAT because of my knees...blew em out in basic training and have been fighting for someone to see them ever since. Finally (4 YEARS LATER) they decide to refer me to a orthopedic specialist. Sounds GREAT...6 months later still no word from the orthopod. The kicker...I was referred to the SAME office that I have been to 3 times for my foot. Apparently these so called SPECIALISTS DON'T specialize in multi tasking.
So now that I am on a second category stating only 1/2 days I can't go on my course which I need to advance in my career. Not only that but if I don't get better they could possible medically release me. NOT GOOD!!! The last thing I want to do is get out of the military. I LOVE THIS JOB!!!
So now with James gone, new house, property line issues, 2 kids at home I get to have this thrown at me too.
All I want to do is curl up and NEVER face the real world again. I know it won't happen but I can only wish.
So that is my rant for the day...OH, not yet. Then (because like I don't already know that I'm FAT right now) the Dr says that if I lose weight it should decrease the strain on my knee...YOU THINK!!!! Like I haven't been trying to lose weight. Dumbass, what does he think that I enjoy being FAT??!!! Hasn't his mother even told him that if he didn't have anything nice to say then he should just SHUT UP!!!

YA DAYNA!!!
My little sister...who isn't so little any more ROCKS!!!! She has this countdown thingy on her blog and I thought that it would be awesome for James's homecoming. I know it is a long way off but I still wanted it. Dayna gave me the link and I finally got it working. No there will be no more guessing when he will come home. YA!!!!
Speaking of Dayna she is going to New Zealand soon with her best friend and they are going to travel around for 2 months before she starts some schooling in Australia. I am sooo proud of her, shes going to make something with herself just you wait and see.
Dayna just on a note to you, I am jealous of your trip. I would LOVE to have been able to do something like that when I was your age. Have a great trip and savour every minute of it.

Thats right I gotta confession to make...I've become a blog stalker.
Since James has been off I have checked the computer often hoping for an email and everytime I sit down to check everyone's blogs. Man...I need a life. LOL!!!

The fidge movers...
I just had to post these for Holli...
For those of you who are wondering what the heck I'm talkin about...
Sean and Holli moved into their house like 5 days after we moved into ours. And their fridge wasn't going to be delivered for a bit. We have a second fridge so we let them borrow it, well, here they are moving it down the street... Maybe it was one of those had to there moments but it looked funny from where I was standing.
The last two make it look like Sean was moving it on his own...Holli is there but she is hidding behind the fridge.
