It will only happen sooner if it happens when we are trying ><;; I am only giving myself a 2 month window to get pregnant in... If it doesn't happen I don't know if I will try again until next year...

OMG MY CHILDREN ARE GETTING ON MY NERVES TODAY....

I caught Michael strangling Sean with a jump rope yesterday... And then he got upset that I threw it away today... Started throwing himself on the ground... I went to spank his butt and he freaking RAN from me then wonders why I am pissed off at him...... That boy makes me CRAZY!!!

Every little thing that happens (from giving him a non-cars themed cup to asking him to put his underwear away) has caused my son to break down into tears today. I'm soooo done. >.<

Will you be actively trying (temperatures, menstral cycle following etc) or will you just be having unprotected sex? If you're actively trying, I'm sure it will happen right away, but if you're just letting fate take it's course you might need more than just a two month window. Unless you're like me. haha. I think Scott and I have too much sex. If he didn't get a vasectomy...I would be on baby 6 right now. xD

I'll be checking my menstrual cycle...and ovulation... Not terribly sure how to check temperature... (right now I am butt cold did I ever mention I HATE THE SNOW??? ><;; Mostly cause to optimize the chance of having a girl you need to have sex everyday from the end of your period to the first day of ovulation... ><;; Which makes total since to me... I get most....... in the mood.... When I am ovulating ><;; I can have sex during that time... I just have to be sure that I am protect... I am also not allowed to orgasm ><;;; OMG if that isn't personal nothing is... ><;; Jazzy desperately wants a girl though... I am trying pretty much everything which is why there is also only a two month period... I can't remember if it is March and April or April and May for the lunar calender things ><; But those two months are supposedly the only times I could have a girl in the next coming year ROFL.... I know that sounds absolutely terrible but there you go... It won't be that I won't be happy if it is a boy.... I just would MUCH prefer a girl... :/ I love my boys... But one girl that is all I am asking lol... I am sure if I find out baby is a boy I will be a little disappointed... But I will be able to get over my disappointment while pregnant like I did with Sean so it won't be a huge deal.... I sound like a terrible person ><;;;

ANNNYHOW... The boys are watching Toy Story now... So they are being good though Sean is whining about lunch... >.> it JUST turned to noon not that long ago... And that boy ISN'T starving... lol

...How does your ovulation cycle have any effect whatsoever on having a girl? No matter what your eggs are an X. It's your husband you need to worry about. Make him want a girl. It worked for me and Scott. xD We both wanted a girl with Kura. Divided when it came to teh twins. He wanted a son, I wanted a daughter. Never, NEVER not be in sync when it comes to making babies. xD (of course, this is just something we joke about, since we both know it's entirely my fault and my double ovulation that caused us to have twins. xD But I guess it is nice to know that he had both male and female sperm? haha)

Scott just went in and gutted the kids rooms. Took out all the clothes that was on the floor that we'd told them to put away/hang up. Then removed all the toys on the floor. We'd been telling them to clean their rooms for 3 days now and they ignore us the whole time. now all 3 of them are crying about it. *shrugs* Sucks to be them, maybe they'll listen later? Yeah...I'm not holding my breath either.

I think I'm finally over my depression from earlier in the week. FINALLY! ^o^

It is actually because male sperm are faster swimmers and shorter lived... Girl spermies can live longer but aren't fast at swimming... So having lots of love juice pre-ovulation is what you want... And having unprotected smex during ovulation still gives you a greater chance of having a boy since the spermies might get there before the girly ones that have survived... There is supposedly diet that helps with having a girl... I've found the mom part but you have to buy the book and I'll never be that desperate....


Dillon and I both want a girl with Sean... Though I think Dillon was more apathetic about which gender he got then I was... I got Sean... We both pretty strongly want a girl this time around...

I'll remember not to be off sync with him though! lol

Happy New Year!

Happy New year Roo!! :heart:

So new years resolution: Keep up with laundry.
What's yours?

Laundry... hahahaha... That is what I am doing right now :/ fun fun

I know right? What better way to ring in the new year than with a promise to keep up on laundry. >.< Damn it it's easy enough, I should be able to do it...right?

I still haven't come up with a solid resolution... ><;; I fail... But I really wanted to sit with everyone and discuss it... I am waaaaay more likely to keep a resolution or promise if I tell someone else I am going to do it ><;;


OMG I AM SPOILED!!!

I got soooo much from my mom... I haven't got that much for my birthday since I was Michael's age!!!!! Not only that, my mom gave me my violin back <3 <3 <3 I can't even express how happy that makes me!!!!! She also gave me a ton of food! ><;; I feel bad cause I think I made it sound like we have nothing when reality is I have a ton of stuff... I just don't have everything I need for a meal... ><;; I was going to make corn bread and chili for dinner... But I could not find the Jiffy mix for the corn bread and I don't have corn meal ><;; I asked her if she has one or the other and I wound up with a box full of food lol

Scott's made sure I'm keeping to my resolution...by doing it for me. xD I haven't done a load of laundry yet this year, but he's done 3. :lol:


OMG I'm LIVID right now. Okay, not exactly livid, just annoyed. I had all these grand ideas set up for today because Scott has work all day and the kids had school, so I was going to organize Sakuras room, get the books back in order on her book shelf, get all the trash out of there and pray that I find her reading log/homework for December. Turns out the twins don't have school today, it opens back up from the holiday tomorrow. (what kind of bs is that?) so instead of getting the stuff done that I wanted to in a timely fashion so that I could have my work out in the afternoon before going to pick everyone up...I have the kids to care for. It's not that I'm not happy to have more time with them...it's that I thought today would be super mega ultra productive and I was all excited and raring to go...and BOOM. no go. Maybe I'll let them watch a movie and at least get the first part of Kuras room done? *sigh* I'll settle for trying to just be productive instead of super, mega, ultra. :lol:

I've gone as far as putting the boys in their rooms and not letting them out on days like that >< cause I am mean...

Omg we had a potty training nightmare yesterday.... My mom started trying to get Sean REALLY jealous of Michael.... ><;; It didn't work he peed twice and pooped once in his pants... She insisted that we shouldn't be taking him every 10 minutes but he should be telling us and we should wait for him to tell us :/ he has NEVER said "go potty" or anything when he has to go... He makes me crazy... But he stayed dry for nearly 3 hours yesterday... Then he just peed... peed... and well you know... That boy makes me nutty

Melody has taken to falling down on the floor in hysterics today whenever something doesn't go the way she wants.
So Scott took the overnights for another guy that he works with the Tuesday before Christmas because that guy had stuff he needed to do at home. Fine, whatever I can deal with that as long as they pay it forward and take an overnight for him. Well, today was the agreed upon date for the swap, and now that guy claims that he can't take the overnight for Scott since he has stuff going on at home. :/ And since Scott is on the schedule he can't get out of it and I'm just pissed. I was really hoping to have him home today, because my children are insane (I think I may just put them in their room to play until lunch time. :/) because I'm soooo done with this. I hate that I had so much planned and can no longer get it done. I worked on Kuras room for a while and it doesn't look like anything happened (okay, that's my fault for just doing her closet/toy box since it's out of the way) but still. I'm just so annoyed at how today has progressed. I need it to turn around into awesomesauce before I kill someone.

Mellie is awesomesauce...

My little sister is at my house ATM... And she is going to be here for AT LEAST 2 more hours ><;; lamezercakes... She was kicked out of my mom's yesterday and now she doesn't have to report anymore... Man my mom is on a roll...

Hope things got better since here it is nearly 5 so that means there it is nearly 7... ish... I think

You're in Mountain time? I think they're two hours behind me right now...Pacific is 3 and Central is...also 2? lol. I have a hard time keeping track of timezones.

I need to get to judging the cooking contest. But I lost the will to do it. (that's not true, I want to do it, but maaaaan I'm hungry right now but not wanting to snack because it's after 8. Gotta put it off until tomorrow, maybe I'll start judging while eating breakfast... haha.)

I finished Sakuras room. It looks like awesomesauce (er awesomesauce that needs to be vacuumed. lol)
But I'm happy. More than that, I'm happy I finally completed that blasted snowman on Farmville. (I didn't realize how happy it would make me...) Tomorrow I'll tackle Aarons room. Shouldn't be too much, it's mostly getting clothes out of the toy boxes. And praying that I find Sakuras reading log/homework from December. I can't find it anywhere. I'm starting to think my mother in law took it home with her since it disappeared right after she left. :lol:

Downside: my cable crapped out on me. So my evening of watching a House episode that I had missed is no longer a go. </3

So to get over that letdown I'm listening to music...and thinking about dancing. Work out + fun. Not to mention practice...so that next time Scott plays I can kick his butt. >:D

Mountain time... I believe it is two hours behind ya.... Central should be one hour behind ya cause that is where my cousins live and they are an hour ahead of us... And cali where all my other family live... is an hour behind me... So it would make since that it was 3 hours behind you... 1.2.3...

So I have gotten nothing done... >_< and I really wanted to be at least SOMEWHERE but no... Though I did make an ok dinner... I made moist corn bread (OMG THAT STUFF IS SOOOOOO GOOOOD) and improve chili... lol... Basically it started with two cans of chili with beans added three cans of different kinds of beans (Dark Red Kidney, Pinto and Black) and two of those little cans of chili peppers and a can of diced tomatoes (I have waaaaay too many canned goods) then I added one of those steam-able bags of corn which apparently had some kind of butter in it... ><;; Then I seasoned it with chili powder, red pepper and pepper, salt garlic salt and onion salt (though I think fresh onion would have been better!)... If I would have made it spicier I could have fooled some of the Mexican's in town I am pretty proud... Though I am not that fond of that kind of Chili... :/ I might make some baked meat of some sort to add to it tomorrow :) it sounds good....

Hey mellie! Seriously late for all holidays! But I can still wish for you to have a happy plain old normal day right? :'D So! Happy Tuesday! I'm early for once...and Mondays generally stink. >o<

I'm not a chili with beans kinda person. Not sure why...but I can't stand beans. xD Scott hates it because burritos and tostadas in my house, don't include beans. :lol:

Called the cable company, and was on hold for 3o minutes. But that was actually a good thing. I cleaned the livingroom, vacuumed, and swept the kitchen while waiting for them to get on the phone and now, my cable is working again! Hurray! (and the same episode of House is on at 11 so 1 more hour! xD)

Mountain time doesn't do time changes though. We just went through the back one hour thing I have no idea when, but I know that Mountain and either Central or Pacific are on the same zone for half the year. I just wish I could remember which. :/ I guess if Central is two ahead of you then it would be Pacific that you match up with? I hate Time Zones. They confuse the hell out of me for events here AND flights to/fro california. Totally.Not.Cool.

Snow- I wish you a Happy Tuesday too!

Mountain time does so do time changes >.> I don't think that

Yeaaaah I called my home phone/ internet company THREE freaking times today.... THREE... Each time I was on hold at least 15 minutes... >< and I think they could have made life like 10000x easier on themselves... At the end of the final call I caught the lady say "You have a payment due on the 24th that has been cancelled." The WHOOOOOLE reason for ALL the call was to try to move the payment after the 15th... instead I had to cancel an auto withdrawal which happened to be something I can do ONLY ONCE A YEAR... And when I thought about it I just got so mad... I felt bad for the final lady I talked to... Cause I was livid by the time I got a hold her!
I had to explain that it wasn't right that they could restrict when they withdrew from our account... Part of life is sometimes unexpected things happen and you have to move things around to manage through the month... Why is it my GAS company would allow me to spread this months bill out for 3 more months (not that I'll let it ride that long... As SOON as we have the money from Dillon's next check we are playing catch up! ...) but a TOTALLY optional company has NO understanding that sometimes shit happens >< and that they are NOT a necessity I could cancel them NOW and they can't do ANYTHING... My contract is 2 years past up.... So they could kiss my grass! /rant
Central will match up with us at one point in the year I think... My cousin doesn't change her clocked... So that would make since I think... ><;;;

We get A CRAP TON of beans from WIC... The canned kind.... >_< it's either that or drown in peanut butter... So far I've had a good ratio of like to dislike... Dillon my sister and I= Like and Sean=dislike... They were good... ^_^

I hate beans. I do peanut butter...or just don't pick it up. Every year the Coast Guard (On Coast Guard dady, aka the day the coast guard was officially formed) they have a picnic and a food drive, so I bring jars and jars of peanut butter for that, and get to eat whatever it is they've got catered for free. (food donation = free food! xD) It's nice. (:

Isn't Arizona part of Mountain time?

Yup... I know they don't have the time change... Maybe it is state by state... The time change is designed for farmers to have more hours in the day... Colorado has farming especially in this city... Arizona is simply too hot most of the year...

I like beans better then peanut butter >.>;; and I don't really have any donation things that I could do either so it just gets wasted

You could take it down to a local food bank. There are those in most cities. (: Generally run by churches, but hey! If you're not going to use it, let it go to someone who will! I use peanut butter in a few things. Kura gets sandwiches sometimes for school, I have this asian peanut sauce that I like to make for certain dishes, and then there's peanut butter cookies. yum. Beans...I never use. We've had 3 bags of beans in our cupboard for...2 years now? haha. They just sit there, being gross and beany.

Well that hardly makes any sense. :/ Why on earth would one state in a time zone not change while the others do? That seems completely ridiculous to me.

I bought rainbow yarn today and super soft purple yarn. I hope I can make a scarf + beanie for Kura by her birthday. I didn't really leave myself a lot of time for it, but I just thought of it yesterday and know she would love a rainbow scarf. ^^;; The beanie I might not have time for, and I'm okay with that. I haven't attempted to make a hat yet and the idea kinda frightens me...but I really want to do the scarf.

Well I am ok with switching back and forth between cans of beans and jars of peanut butter lol... I just need to learn how to use the beans more... The Chili turned out well I think it needs bird of some sort ><;; no offense... Sorry ><;; **shuts up** I have a bag of split peas in my cabinet... I have only used those kind of beans/ peas once... I made a split pea soup stuff... It was... Ok... I don't like having to shift for rocks in my food though ><;;

Ok I was getting confused so I looked it up.....http://www.homepages.dsu.edu/goedenr...mezone-map.gif so that should help ><;; told you I was mountain time though lol...

I need to get to work on the house... :( but first I am giving the boys some hot cocoa (hot tea for me)... It is a hot cocoa day... Burrr... Their bedroom smells of pee... and I don't like it.... <.< so it is time to clean the heck out of it...

i picked up teh home repair/home improvement books today. >.> They show you how to remove a tub, replace the flooring (omg I want cement blocks under the flooring there! I get that it's more expensive, but it's water resistant unlike wood. Why aren't ALL bathrooms made with that underneath the flooring? srsly.) Anyway. Scott and I were looking into it today so I think our first major project on this house is going to be the kids bathroom. Get the not so good wood out of there and replace it with the cement sheet flooring, put in a new bath tub, and an water efficient toilet...possibly a new sink. I'm still trying to decide how I want that part of the bathroom to look since the kids are still too little to reach up into medicine cabinet for their toothbrush/toothpaste. But I'm totally excited to get started on that. Though, it will probably mean that the kids have to use my bathroom for a few weeks ^^;;


and that's stupid. They should seriously go by statelines or something, because having part of one state in a timezone and the rest of it in another is silly!

I believe it does go by state line but this one also showed states that don't have the time change... That is why I picked it lol...

Did you get the Black and Decker one? I am so cheesey but I want to do soooo much I can't decide where to start O_o my mom says that we should start by working on things that are not so expensive... So the Kitchen and Bath are out right now... >.>;; But it still leaves me with a lot of places that I am not sure what to do about >_<;; I want to start small... maybe the staircase... I want to replace the banister... well more the rails of the banister but I think it would be easier to replace the whole thing then have to buy a bunch of custom rails... Then again... lol... The rails would probably be cheaper... We need to also replace our thermostat... But that involves working with wiring and I am a scaredy cat...
