blog schmog!

I am so glad other bloggers aren't like me. I would have nothing to do on my down time. Ah, well. At least you get to know I am still alive, huh? :)

Pregnancy star date log 14 weeks. Feeling a little fuller now. Can't bend over without feeling like I am squishing something. I am showing low when I lay down, and high when I stand up. That is so weird....

Only gained a pound this last month! Woohoo...I really shouldn't gain a whole bunch of weight anyway, being that I am overweight to begin with. I used to gain 30 pounds, no more, no less...but the last one, I think I gained maybe 9 pounds or something like that.

Kind of stressed out the last couple of days, thanks to some family drama. I posted on my facebook page that I hated Halloween, and was then attacked by my husbands brother and his wife about how I am warping my children by not allowing them to participate in every right of childhood. Like, when is a satanic day a right of passage that a child needs to grow up well rounded? They don't need every little thing everyone else does to make them who they are. My bro in law brought in third world country stuff, like, since when does pain and suffering for the unfortunate children equate to us well off americans making sure we overinduldge our kids here, to make them feel loved? Good grief! It was a very long discussion on facebook, and then was moved over to our inbox, until she had nothing more to say except calling me names, and then she blocked me. Typical response from someone backed in a corner....just quit! Family reunions shall be most enlightening now, I would assume. They will tell everyone else what we thought and because everyone else thinks like them too, we shall remain outcasts. So, we might just cut ties with the family, because we don't need that kind of stress. We are raising our children to be conservative Christians who think for themselves, not just do what everyone else does. Think why you do things...And, no matter what anyone says about the history or any of that, Halloween is a satanic themed day and there is no way around it. If you just do the stupid thing for candy, go buy your own. :)

We just moved all the kids rooming arrangements again. We do this so often that it feels like musical chairs. They love it though. Feels like moving all the time to them. It did leave Nathan in a room alone, and he doesn't like it, and has been waking up at night to come into our bed, which is a no-no. So, we get to deal with this, but hopefully it will be short lived. He is driving us nuts right now. LOL!

Rachel is about to age out of home therapy. They want us to put her in school, which I will not do. I really think we can handle therapy for a while anyway. They don't do much right now, so anything will be an improvement. Understanding the homeschool mentality even when it comes to the disabled seems to be hard for everyone. Like, just because she can't walk, or talk, or crawl for that matter, seems to lend everyone to think that I should make an exception for her. I don't get that. I work with her everyday, and she has one on one from me. Yeah, she MIGHT get it at school, but what else will she get? Overwhelmed by screaming children, sick, possibly forgotten on the school bus (yes, this has happened to several disabled children before) and more. I just don't want it for her anymore than I want it for the rest of my kids.

My hands hurt....I may or may not write more, but this is enough for now. :)
