Well, it is Friday of April vacation. Nate goes back to school on Monday and I go back to my regular schedule, dropping him off at school, playgroups and speech therapy with Jackie and keeping up the house. The weather has finally turned nice as the first part of the week it RAINED AND RAINED. UGH!
I had the girls, Sharon, Jen, and Shelley over to scrapbook, with the kids today. It was so beautiful we ended up sitting on the deck enjoying the sunshine watching the kids play while we snacked on pizza, salad, and a yummy foccacia bread that Jen brought, as wellas some cookies and cinnamon sticks that Shelley brought.
So all in all we got absolutely NO scrapping done, but I enjoyed our visit and the kids had a great time. I am tired and the kids are tired, so we are going to eat dinner and watch a movie to chill out.
Michael slept the day away after a conference for the Fire Department last night which he stayed over at, Thank goodness, since he came home with such a Hangover. I think other than his Bachelor Party I have never seen him this bad after a night out drinking. He headed out to work a little while ago, he seemed to be doing better. He will not be home allweekend as he is working so it is going to be a long one, luckily the weather is supposed to be beautiful so we will probably spend a lot of time outside playing.

Rambling things
So I have been slacking on my blogs. Trying to find things to talk about.
I spent a good part of the day today at the library, first for a playgroup with the MOM's club with Jackie then, out on the playground after picking Nate up at school. They had a wonderful time it was a really nice day here, although a little cool when the wind was blowing.
I just finished reading Eragon. Very good book, want to get the second one now. I have been trying to walk at least an average of a mile a day for the last 2 weeks. I do not seem to have lost any pounds but my jeans are starting to fall down so I guess it helps. I would like to lose a few before going to my parents in June for my dad's 60th birthday. I think I am dreaming but we shall see. I did not meet my goal for my New Year resolution but I am working to get there for summer.
I think the fact that the flowers are blooming has been a good motivator for me, to get out there and get moving. Although, I am ready to shoot the rabbits in my yard though ALL of my snow crocuses that were in my backyard have been eaten all the way to the ground. I am going to try the red pepper around the edge of the gardens to see if that will help keep them away.
My next door neighbors are moving... they bought a house on 4 acres in Maine(no more barking dogs for him, nope just the wolves and coyotes, ROFLMAO). I will miss her but most definatly not him. It will be interesting to see who moves in to their house, as it is an antique. They have done a lot of work on it though. They are going to take down the barn and move it to Maine with them. He came and said to me yesterday that "he wouldn't mind if we took down the fence", which I think he thinks is his but I truthfully beleive is ours, the bad side is normally put up towards whoever put it up, so that would make it ours. Michael and I have been talking about replacing it but I think we might wait until they offer to help pay for the replacement of it, so that it improves their property value. We also don't want to do it RIGHT NOW.
Ok that's all for tonight. More later...

Nate's First Journal
Today, Nate got his first journal sent home from Kindergarten. It is so damn cute I am going to try to scan and upload them after the kids go to bed tonight. I am VERY impressed with his sentences. They are all supposed to be phonetically(did I spell that right) written so some of the words are not correctly spelled but I am AMAZED.
He already has at least 60 sight words and there are still 2 months left to school(80 sight words are required for kindergartners). He is also sounding out words in books and can do addition and subtraction, they also have started with money in the last couple of weeks.
I am so glad we decided to send him to KIDSTOP for full day kindergarten. It has been worth every penny, even though we are strapped for cash because of it. I can't wait until June and we are done with the monthly payments. The only thing that I am a little unhappy with is his teacher is not very open with telling us what they are doing in the classroom, so I have to drag it out of her or out of Nate. Nate definitely is learning though so I can't REALLY complain at all, she is obviously getting it all into their heads.

"Reading!"
Well, I was making dinner last night for Jackie when she comes out to the dining room sits at the kitchen table and starts "reading" Brown bear, Brown Bear What do you see?
To say the least I was really impressed. I know that she is really just reciting from memory but hey that is where it all starts right. I knew she loved books as she has to bring the one we read to her at bedtime into her bed with her. But she is not even three and is reciting the words while following them wiht her finger in her book. I passed along my LOVE of reading very well I think.

Move to the "BIG" bed
Well, we did it. We converted Jackie's crib into a toddler bed. We went out and bought one of the canopies that is a hoop with the fabric hanging down because we were concerned that she would not sleep without having a tent over her. We tried to get her to sleep without the canopy thinking that maybe since it is a new bed set up she might not need it, but a few minutes after we had lain her down she was very unhappy, so I went in to get her to calm down, she had not even tried to get out of her bed(even though she could), and she told me she "needed her cover" so we ended up putting the canopy up for her and she slept fine ALL night. She did not even try to get out of bed in the morning she still called for me to come get her. That was Thursday.
Friday night Nate decided he needed to have a sleepover in her room so we set up a mattress on the floor next to her crib and pulled the canopy around both of them. Both slept great. Then last night she wanted to sleep in his room, so the mattress was set up on the floor next to his bed and it was a different story. Nate sleeps with a nightlight, and would not let us shut it off, unless we left the door open a little, and Jackie did not like either the night if we shut the door or the door being open so until Nate feel asleep we left the door open just a smidge, then when he was asleep we closed the door and she was asleep in minutes. It will be interesting tonight to see how it goes with her back in her toddler bed. I hope she sleeps 'cause I am home by myself tonight, as Michael is at the fire station.

SNOW!!!
WE HAVE SNOW!!!
OK, so it will probably be gone tomorrow or the next day but it is here. I love the look of it, not real fond of shovelling it but it sure makes everything beautiful doesn't it. Just had to put it out there, as today is January 23 and this is the first decent snowfall we have had all season that has lasted for more than a few hours. I love the fact that we have had such a warm winter 'cause we have been able to go to the playground up until late December with a sweatshirt on and still be warm enough, but I do love to see the white stuff.

A mystery day...
I "dragged" Michael along letterboxing with me today. Nana watched the kids. We went to find a mystery letterbox in New Hampshire. We made a day trip out of it. We walked in a beautiful town forest, in the newly fallen snow about an inch or so. We found three of the stamps that went with the mystery and had a great time falling on our asses. Michael only fell once but boy was it hilarious, I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants, he came pretty close to doing the same when I pretty much fell in the creek, luckily I didn't get wet just fell through some ice. Just getting out getting some exercise and spending time with each other, it was fabulous. The weather was very nice too, mid-30's, but the sun was shining.
I met Michael at the fire house this EARLY am(630), which is not a normal time for me and we went across the street for breakfast at a local Norwell place called Drums, where we ate for $12 including the tip for both of us great food, service, and price. We then drove to NH hiked the wrong way for a while until we figured it out and got the Letterboxes. Then we headed towards home, stopping for lunch at a Longhorns. Great food, we had never eaten there before. Then came home and picked up the kids. I LOVED being able to just spend time with him we laughed and talked and just fooled around. I think he is actually starting to enjoy MY new hobby, even though I have to "DRAG" him along.

New Year, New Video
Well the new year is here and I felt the need to change my layout and my music video to something much more appropriate for me.
At least it made me laugh especially with last night still in mind. All my good friends should enjoy my new video.
One tequila, two tequila, three tequila...

HAPPY NEW YEAR
Happy New Year!
It is 2007, and I have decided that I need to make some resolutions.
1. Start maintaining my house daily, in that it always seems like I have to clean fairly hard whenever I ahve company coming over. I am hoping that the fact that I have made the basement into a finished play area for the kids so that I can keep their toys mainly out of my living room will help a little. I also have plans to try and organize everything, so that it will be easier to maintain. I really like having company but when people just stop over I am embarrased to have them come in and see the mess.
2. Lose 10-15 lbs by March and then re-evaluate. I eventually would like to get to 140-150lbs. I am at 185-190 right now. To meet this goal I am going to start going to the gym again, at least 2-3 times a week. I may even try to convince Michale to change gyms even though we could not have a better price plan at $10 per week but no daycare kills me. If I do not go to the gym I WILL work out to one of my many exercise videos instead. I will journal everything I eat to do this and drink at least 6 glasses of water a day to help with this goal.
3. Eat at least our dinner meal at the kitchen table every night. We are really lax about this we like to chill in front of the TV and the kids are sort of driving me crazy with their eating habits all of a sudden so I think that actually sitting at the table will help a little.
So there they are, my goals in writing. I plan to stick to them, and hope that putting them out there will only help.

Our Christmas
Well, we had a nice Christmas. Nate was running a fever on Christmas Eve so he and I stayed home while Michaeland Jackie went to his parents house to visit with his family. Nate was asleep from about 330 until about 830 when he woke up for about an hour or so and he was feeling better, not perfect but more his usual self.
We had Christmas day here, at least part of it, we had Michael's parents, his brother and his family. I made a turkey, twice baked potatoes, butternut squash, buttermilk biscuits and stuffing all Gluten Free of course and Linda and John brought salad, Michaels parents brought peas so all in all we had a great meal.
Aftre eating and opening presents we played around for a while then we Michael Jackie and I went up to Michael uncle Fran's with Papa, while Nana stayed at her house with Nate beacuse he had started to feel run down again and we didn't want to make anyone else sick. Had a good time there visiting played UNO for about an hour or so and opened a few presents. Had a nice day overall very tired.

It's almost Christmas...
I almost can't beleive it is almost Christmas. Michale and I went out shopping for the kids today and I think that we are done. Except for a couple of things to help Santa. I am headed out to a scrapbooking crop tonight, really looking forward to it. I think I am going to be working on Christmas cards unless I get bored with them.
Oops,gotta go Jackie just woke up from her nap.

The Hockey Season...
Well, hockey season has started. So far so good. We ended up making going to the first scrimmage of the season on Saturday. Not a bad game we seem to have a fairly good team this year. Our goalie on Saturday was pretty good, although Michael who is one of the actual assistant coaches said he needs to stay on his feet more. I don't know watching from the stands I was pretty impressed. I think the scrimmage ended up with us 5 them 7 not bad considering we used all five lines, and the other team only brought their first 3 lines.
So Michale is off to practice, Jackie is napping, and Nate is playing Playstation games, while I check my email and update my blog and dinner is cooking in the crockpot.
LIFE IS GOOD!

Birthday Party
Nate and I went to a birthday party for one of his friends today at Build a Bear. I was very nosy and asked how much it was. $20 per kid and you nust have a minimum of 6 kids. The each got an animal to stuff, either a puppy or a koala, they are regularly priced at $12 each, and then after they all get stuffed they got to pick out an outfit $10-12 each, which they had a great selection for the kids to choose from. They also had an employee coordinator for us the entire time who was excellent. So needless to say I was pretty impressed.
Nate picked a puppy, he named him DubJub. He picked out a basketball outfit for him. The kids were all so well behaved it was fun to be able to visit with the other parents while we watched.

6 weeks...
We are off to see the GI doctor and Nutritionist for Jackie today. It has been 6 weeks since she has been diagnosed with Celiacs and I think I am finally getting a handle on the whole thing.
I am interested to see how the Doctor feels about her recovery etc. We all, M, N, and I had our blood tests come back and all of us turned out negative for celiacs. So it is only poor little Jackie who has the disease.
I think I have a pretty good handle on the whole thing regarding what she can and cannot eat. I am not too sure about my mother who thought it would be ok for her to have turkey on Thanksgiving that had been stuffed with NON GF bread. Until I explained to her the fact that every time the turkey is basted it is going to spread Gluten into the meat. She thought I was crazy to make a whole thanksgiving dinner to bring with me for Jackie, which is my plan even though we have not decided where we are going to do Thanksgiving this year yet. Although I know my parents will be here visiting as my dad took the whole week off, and they plan on driving here.
I experimented with a few recipes over the weekend as I had our friend S to "test" things on at Shazzy annual Halloween Party. I was pretty impressed with the outcome of all of the stuff I made. Carrot Cake cupcakes, Vanilla Wafers, and Ginger snaps, all Gluten Free. I think most every one was impressed with them as they were pretty much gone when we left. I have ordered a cookbook from Borders that I found most of the recipes that I have been used, as I cannot keep the Library copy forever.
So off to the doctors.

Other recent news
Nate has been home sick for the past three days. Mostly because of a fever and a cough. We called and made an appointment with the doctor today and found out he has an ear infection. He never complained about his ears hurting, poor kid he could have been treated 2 days ago if I had taken him then, but I have always gotten from them to wait for 2 days to see if the fever goes down unless he starts complaining etc. Well, they ended up putting him on ammoxicillin for the ear infection so He may end up going back to school tomorrow.
I wasn't feeling to hot myself on Wednesday either so Michael ending up calling in to work and helping out at home. Good thing cause I pretty much slept the day away I felt so yucky. Still not feeling great but MUCH better than yesterday.
I spent Friday and Saturday last weekend at a scrapbooking crop. I got four or five pages done but also got time to myself which was absolutely wonderful. I may try to post later but not sure how since they are 12 x 12 pages. Maybe scan?? We shall see...
Jackie is pretty much potty trained although she does need to be reminded to go but to not have to buy diapers is going to be a wonderful thing. We are getting pull up especially for night time because she does not seem to sleep through the night without having to go but she does wake up and yell for us when she has to at night. I am so thrilled.
I think that is all the most recent stuff right now. Will attempt to post again soon, but no promises. LOL.

Long time...No posts...
My last post had to do with Jackie being diagnosed with Celiacs. We have been doing really well on the Gluten Free diet. She even understands if we happen to be eating something that she cannot eat as long as we tell her it will make her tummy hurt.
We have all been tested, but I am the only one that has gotten the results back. I came back negative, which sort of surprised me because I have a lot of the symptoms. Although, I have been reading a lot about celiacs on the web and it seems like this can happen, your blood test can come back negative and then you have more symptoms so they do an endoscopy which comes back positive. We shall see with Michael and Nate's results in the near future.

Update on Jackie
Well, It is only 2 weeks later, we have been to Boston twice for Jackie, once to actually meet the doctors, and the second time for her to have a colonoscopy and Endoscopy.
We got the results of her "E & C" on Tuesday, and she has Celiac Disease. Which means she has to go on a Gluten Free Diet. Meaning nothing made with, Wheat, Barley, Oats or Rye or any of their counterparts. Celiacs cannot eat gluten(which comes from the WBRO listed above) because it sets off an immune system response that causes damage to the small intestine, which then interferes with the bodies ability to absorb nutrient found in food leading to malnutrition and a variety of other complications.
So, she is going to be a meat and potato girl from now on. Luckily she is young so she WILL adjust fairly easily. I think it is going to be harder for me to adjust in that I will not be able to rely on cooking the basics or at least not as much a I used to, meaning no more "Blue Box" Mac and Cheese among other things. LOL.
But it does mean we will ALL get healthier, and we ALL could certainly use it. I am actually glad to know why she was sick because at least it is something controllable. She seems to be feeling better already after just 2 days of the gluten free diet.
Thanks to all of my friends for their food recommendations etc.

Jackie and doctor
Brought Jackie to the doctor today because she has had bloody stool for the last couple of days and they told us to come in if it continued for more than 2 days. So we went in last night to see the doctor who was on call, Dr Bodie, out of another office in Plymouth. She had us bring a sample of the stool for some teats and told us to call our primary Dr Schmitt this morning.
So I called for an appointment with Dr. S this morning and we went in and she did a rectal exam, Jackie was super good considering, and the rectal came back positive for blood. So we now have an appointment with a Gastro intestinal specialist at Mass General Hospital on Tuesday.
I am trying really hard not to stress over this because it could be something like a small tear, a polyp, etc., and Jackie has been acting pretty much like normal. Dr. S just wanted to take it another step further cause you never know. So that is what is happening, as of today will let you know more when I know more.
