I have such big plans for today! I just need motivation to get things going :) The weather was so nice yesterday and the kids were able to play outside...almost all day!! That was amazing! I just knew they were going to sleep great last night, but nope, everyone woke up at least once. I'm not sure how to get Hannah, Hollise, and Houston out of this habit!! Any suggestions are welcomed.
I'm starting to teach the kids to spell and write their names. One of the last things I saw at daycare, before taking the kids out, was the three year old class writing their names. I was shocked, you could read what they were writing!! It's been a goal of mine to teach them to write their name and address when they turned 3....maybe it won't take me the entire year. I haven't been doing much "teaching" lately. Really, it's been several months since I set the kids down in the morning for any lesson. I hope to start that part of our schedule next week.
Ok..gotta run..maybe I can blog more later today :)

Monday, January 18, 2010
We're off to a fresh start with this fabulous new year! We've already had our hands FULL of crazy things going on and we're only 18 days into this year. But, that's just the way things go with 4 young children.
Houston has torn some scar tissue from surgery and is back in a cast. We will go back to Memphis tomorrow to remove his cast and see how his arm looks. Drew is just before walking. He loves to stand at the windows and watch the cars go by. He will run around everywhere as long as he's in his walker or your holding his hand. I'm trying to keep him out of the walker so maybe he'll get some practice on his own. Hollise and Hannah are growing more everyday. They love helping cook and clean...sure hope that lasts! They sure do listen to every single word I say...bc I hear them telling their dolls what I tell them!! Sometimes I think I'm a little hard on them when I hear them bossing their dolls around, LOL.
Houston just rand up to me on his stick horse and said, "mommy, i'm a cowboy..yeehaw". He changes characters throughout the day...he's already been Spiderman and a Fireman this morning. The boy has a great imagination!! Lately he's running around pretending to fly. And as wild as he is, I'm having to make sure he doesn't really attempt to fly!!!
I better go, Hollise isn't feeling well this morning and I need to check on her. Oh..as bad as this may sound...I'm glad over 300 people logged on and read what a JERK Dr. Cain was to Drew and how lazy OCH is at handling situations with their doctors that are MEAN and irresponsible with their care for patients..especially babies!! I have an amazing amount of respect for certain nursing staff and the other physicians, so I sure don't mean to disrespect their work ethics!! But, things need to change for the better with the way this hospital handles complaints...and really quick!!

We should all do a little better!!!
**Warning..I ramble a LOT here!!
After reading the Starkville Daily News articles on the fires Monday I have just become more and more heartbroken for these families. I am such a worrier and I worry about those surviving this tragedy. I know I can pray..but those of you that know me well...know I want to be right there holding their hands and I don't even know them!! It has frustrated me to the depths of my soul that there is a comment about "no maintenance complaints are recorded" from any of these people. I understand they've written both sides of the story, tenants say they've complained numerous times, and landlord says there is no record. I appreciate both sides speaking their peace about it...but I feel it's insinuated that since there is no record they must not have complained.
To me, if the neighbors were having to sleep with an oven on to stay warm at night bc the central heating unit wasn't working...surely they complained to someone!!!! Especially when they pay rent and fixing the repair would not be their cost. My first thought was, "just because you don't have a record doesn't mean they didn't complain!! Someone just didn't write it down!!" Which would be a reason it would take weeks for repairs...no good records on file!!
I'm really tired of peoples lack of efforts to help one another in this society...especially when they're being paid to do a job! In the last year or so I've been ran over so many times by people that were ugly, unprofessional, rude, down right mean, and those people were in jobs of customer service and the medical field. I won't let it happen anymore that's for sure!!
Almost everyone reading this would never have known this happened, but in April of this year I had a HORRIBLE experience with Dr. Cain at our hospital. I sat on the edge of a bed while Drew laid in his hospital bed with pneumonia and asked Dr. Cain for help. I asked for help changing to a local oxygen company and he refused..saying he didn't know "those people" and he wasn't calling them. I began to cry after asking for his help in a few different ways, explaining I was not a medical physician and he was NOT helping me...I expressed he had gone to medical school, yet he pointed to the wall where Drew's oxygen was hooked up and said, "I know nothing about that stuff there up on that wall"..another family member in the room stopped me and thanked Dr. Cain for all the help we had received, but told him I had taught myself everything I knew so far with Drew and I was only asking for help in another direction. My family member asked what Dr Cain would do if this were his child or grandchild..Dr. Cain said and I do quote, "I don't know, that there means nothing to me"!! And he left the room!! He did all of this with myself, another family member, Drew, and a nurse in the room...so it's sure no secret that he did this bc we all heard him loud and clear. You all have NO clue how much I complained to Administration..have they done anything NO!!! I've had a meeting, written a letter, made phone calls, and NOT so much as an I'm Sorry has come from anyone!!!! There is a little more to the conversation that morning but you get the point..it was so uncalled for!!! There are at least 4 members of Administration that could have made efforts to do something about this and they've done NOTHING!!! That doesn't mean Dr. Cain didn't do something wrong..it just means they let my complaints sit on their desks!! But that's okay, I keep SUPER records on the subject..so let them be lazy!
You never know what can happen if you let the ball drop in your court. People are complaining because there is a problem. Not because it's fun and they want you to have a bad day. Take people seriously..listen to their troubles...you never know when God was testing you!
*I used to think putting it out there was the wrong thing to do...almost as if I was bad mouthing Dr Cain. But you know, he sure didn't care about being ugly to Drew and me!!

This morning, I sit at the table with busy little boys and girls riding their toys in circles around me. My coffee is cold, but the warm strawberry croissants were great! It has been weeks since I made time for the blog...I'll have to do some picture posting and decorating for sure.
I have been under so much stress the last few weeks. The weather wasn't so nice out...so guess what that means...me and 4 small kids INSIDE! I've been a crazy woman, lol. Last week things started getting better. We went for wagon rides together....which was super nice. Drew is big enough to sit in the wagon now and Hollise is small enough to sit in the seat with him.
Ok...the kids are using the couch cushions as a trampoline...so I better go. I'll try blogging again this afternoon.

She's at it again....
*notice the hello kitty socks
Hollise is really into dressing herself these days. If I would let her wear these stripped pants everyday she would do it! So, finally I took the hint and bought her some new leggings this weekend, ha. Yesterday she found a box of clothes from their first birthday. She pulled out all the clothes (yes, i keep birthday outfits) and started layering things on. The child put on her birthday sweatshirt she wore to Harvey's on their actual Birthday....it was just a little small!

This morning I had everyone in the living room to get dressed...everything happens in the living room. I hear Houston say REALLY FAST, "picked a pepper-picked a pepper-picked a pepper, he ran away with the spoon, ha-ha he went up and fell down and broke it". He was looking at his Mother Goose book, lol. He actually listens to me...such a rewarding feeling. Oh...and I loved it when he said "Muffet is scared of that spider"...me too baby!
