*squishes mel* But seito should strive to be a better less greedy person!

I don't either. xD So I'll pretend yes it does. xD

Night mel. <3

*pokes at Mellie* How are you doing this morning... ?

Doing pretty good...not wanting to work though.

I still need to come up with a menu for the upcoming week so we can go shopping later. blaaaaah. I'm just so tired of this week! I wanted to sleep in...but the kids wouldn't allow it.

Yeah totally feel you there... I need to make my menu for the next two weeks and go shopping today too but my car goes into get it's windshield replaced today... Bah! I am hoping it is out this evening so I can do our shopping at 8 when Dillon gets home... But with all the people who have hail damage I fear it isn't going to get out!

I wanted to sleep in today too but my alarm wouldn't allow it... Sean woke up Dillon at 7 and he got to sleep in 2 extra hours Y_Y Darn internal clock wouldn't let me go back to sleep after the alarm started going off at 4 I kept hitting the snooze which probably didn't help the process of going back to sleep either Haha!

I always have a hrad time going back to sleep after Scotts alarm goes off at 4 am. >.< Normally don't get back to sleep until 5...and sometimes the kids get up around then because they hear him moving around hte house... Today Aaron opened the front door. I keep telling Scott to lock it when he leaves! >.< So help me if we didn't have a second door I know I would have lost the child this morning! He better listen this time too. >.> Last week the dog got out and killed a kitten! D: (Before a couple of weeks ago I would get up with him and lock the door after he left...but I've just been so exhausted lately! I need my sleep too...I think locking the door is a simple thing to ask.

I'm the one who gets up at 4 normally...To greet my BIL or SIL and my niece for the morning... I ask Dillon to get up with me... Unless he works second shift that is... We usually have a cup of coffee together and talk for an hour or so before either he goes to work or Jayden wakes up for breakfast...

I agree though... Locking the door isn't a big deal especially when it puts your kids in danger... Dillon knows I am a scaredy cat especially in this neighborhood and if on the off chance I get a chance to sleep in and actually do... He locks the door behind him ^_^

I need to beat it into Scotts head that he needs to do that. >.< I just don't know how.

Scott never asked me to get up with him. Mostly because he leaves shortly after getting up to do the route but also because he wants me to sleep. Sometimes I just can't! I miss his presence next to me. ^^;;

Aww Mellie is sweet... I am not use to having someone in my bed constantly... I spent the first three years of living alone with just me (and occasionally Michael) in my bed... So I get territorial... LOL... When I have anxiety or panic attacks I sleep on the couch for some reason I feel safer there.... We think that it might be that he has been know to wake in the middle of the night and want to do the wild thing.... And I freak because I have an (ir)rational fear of getting pregnant again... Irrational because I fear the acts that lead to it when I have an attack... Rational because we couldn't support another child even if we wanted to at the moment!

lol, I have a fear of getting pregnant now too. Mostly for the surrogacy, also because I know neither of us want to have any more kids. >.< The ones we have are a handful enough. I love them dearly, and if I did get pregnant I know I would love that baby too...its just...it would be quite a hardship on our family.

I've pretty much gotten used to him being next to me. >.> We would nap a lot together after school when we were 17 and I just got used to him. I know his feel, his smell, it's just comforting. I sleep on the couch when he's gone sometimes. >.> its smaller so I feel less alone. The truth is I'm just a big baby! lol.

He gets upset when I sleep on the couch but it is either that of no sleep at all... And Dealing with three kids in the morning on NO hours sleep is not fun...

I like knowing he is there... Especially because I watched someone walking up to my back door shaking it and peering in our window one night from the boys room... I am night blind and wasn't wearing my glasses so I couldn't get a good look at him... But I know he was Hispanic coloring and wearing a hat and a wife beater... I am HORRIFIED that it might be my ex... He scares the beejeebees out of me... And though he isn't Hispanic he is Asian and LOOK Hispanic especially right now since he works in the sun all day... I fell asleep on the boy's floor that night... Freaking that he was coming for Mikes...

If it was your ex that's a pretty shitty thing to do. :/ What an ass (that goes for if it wasn't your ex as well! anyone doing something like that is an ass!)

I only sleep on the couch if Scott isn't home, so he's never said anything about it. lol.

My ex is an ass... He threatened to stomp my stomach while I was pregnant with Mikes and then kill me... He was a REAL winner... >.> his last name says it all "DICKman"...

I think I sleep on the couch for the comfort of less room too to be quite honest... >.> In the summer we separate as far as possible from each other because it is so hot in the house... and I have noticed I don't sleep on the couch nearly as much in the winter... How funny... I am not a huge cuddler but in the winter it is added benefit to have extra body heat LOL

Most of the time...we sleep pretty far from each other in the summer too. The heat just isn't conducive to cuddling! But in the mornings when he gets home from the route its generally cooled down a bit so cuddling works better then. xD and we have a fan positioned at the foot of the bed, so I don't over heat. and it drowns out the sound of the dog breathing. @[email protected] I'm such a picky sleeper!

Hahaha me too!!! We have a fan in our window to drown out the sound of the darn street and to circulate air of course... Stupid kids and their loud boomy music and noisy engines *shakes fist at*

We live next to a semi-high way so we don't really deal with street sounds. The cars are gone before they can make much noise. The actual high way is a good 6 or 8 houses down from us so we don't hear any of that either. Some trucks come through the the pepsi distribution factory somewhere around here, but they're always quiet. I really like out little house. xD

Ours is one door down from a busy street... Three grocery stores two or three liquor stores, restaurants... etc..... Hehe... I hate my appartment for MANY reasons and can't wait until we can start house shopping... I know exactly what and were I want it... I just need to get the money for it LOL

Apartments tend to be in busy areas though don't they? I know the one my Brother in law lives in is right down the street from a movie theater, 3 fast food places, 2 good restaurants and I think theres a Kohls down there too.

Houses > Apartments. xD

Most apartments in this town are nice... I live in the ones they call the projects >.>* we live in ghetto country... My last apartment was AWESOME... If I were single with no kids I would have adored living there! This one... Not so much... There are many others that are in quieter areas though!

Thats nice then. For some reason I only ever see apartments being built around mid city areas with stores and fast food places all around. I mean, it makes sense for college students etc who may not have a mode of transportation, but it seems like older people who don't want to commit to buying a house get screwed. >.< (or people that can't afford them yet!)

*flops around in mel's thread*

Yeah... I don't want to move into an apartment if I move again... Too much chance of having crappy neighbors again... And if I move into an apartment that has an up and downstairs O_O that is 4 chances of getting bad neighbors... NO WAY not for me...Two chances is enough... I can't wait to move into a house where my walls aren't connected to someone elses walls!

lol you can still have bad neighbors when living in a house though. We had some that would play mexican music really loud at 3 am every friday night. Thats just when they started their parties. @[email protected] It was horrible! I hated them so much, and another neighbor kept trying to poison the neighborhood cats. :/ There are dicks everywhere. Its hard to aviod them...sadly.


*puts seito in water* there there, no more flopping. (:

Went to the beach today... I have a headache. I think I'm going to aviod the computer for the rest of the day. ^^;; the brightness is hurting my eyes and making it worse! Though I did just change the setting...and the relief was almost instant, but still have the headache so I'm still disappearing. :P

*is swimming around now* <3

Oh I know there are dicks everywhere! But the advantage of not sharing a wall is that the loud Mexican music that strongly resembles circus music if you ask me >.> isn't knocking stuff off my walls LOL... I lost Sean's plaster hand print from when he was 2 months old... And Mikes 4 year old hand print.... Because their music literally rattles my walls... I took down all of my pottery stuff because I was TERRIFIED that it was going to happen in the middle of the night and Dillon and I would get killed by falling pottery over our heads O_o

I kind of wish the neighbors here would do it at 3 AM... I get a twisted pleasure from calling the cops on them now... They argue loudly enough for me to hear over the tv or radio... I call... Their music has played loudly enough to hear over my radio or TV for more then 30 minutes I call... Their kids are screwing around outside at 10PM I call... Our apartments are suppose to have a curfew of 10PM for everyone... The state curfew is 11:59PM if you are under 18... I take great pride in the fact that I follow the rules of the apartments AND the laws and I am a b**** about other people breaking them... I have two copies of the lease they have us sign every year... And I will call the apartment complex on them now because they drink outside their home (against the lease) smoke pot outside my window (again law and lease) let their children run rampant at all times of the night (against lease most times and occasionally against law) and their thumping makes being home miserable (which I have actual quoted the exact section of the lease before to the apartment managers)... It doesn't stop them but it gives me DEEP satisfaction that it makes their lives miserable when they do it to me on a regular basis!

If they're going against their lease, shouldn't they be evicted? Your landlord/whatever needs a backbone. Or they need to get rid of those rules if they aren't going to enforce them. :/

Swimming sounds fun. >.> Went to the beach yesterday...and today I'm just completely exhausted. Mix that in with some 'get ready to be a mommy' medication and ... *yawn* Sleepy time for the Mellie~! lol. Used some SPF 50 sunscreen at the beach...no burns for most of us. Apparently Kuras suit altered itself at some point in the afternoon so she had some unsunscreened skin showing. She has a red rectangle along her back. ;-; my poor baby. *lotions* She isn't complaining about it though...so that's good. It can't be too bad, and the redness has already gone down. :3
