2 new posts? Nah.. not really

I just forgot to actually post the other one so it has been sitting there collecting virtual dust this entire time. Oops...
Not sure what was in it other than the title.
Ezra still has a slight bump to his head from where he bonked it, but he's been fine.
He just fell off his changing table (aka his dresser w/ the changing pad on it) though. Thank goodness for diaper boxes b/c that's what he landed on until he tumbled to the floor.
He's a squirmer and does not like staying still for a diaper change. He's usually been ok at not falling off lol, but this time.. he went for it. While I was standing right there pulling out a shirt for him.. it took him all of 2 seconds to flip to his stomach and race right off.
Child is going to give me a heartattack.

Kids are sick which means we'll all be sick until next May.
Thankfully it's just minor colds and congestion right now.

My jaw sometimes still hurts. Specially if I get food stuck back in the wisdom teeth holes that I can't get out right away. Makes my whole jaw on that side hurt.
Scheduled to go back in in March to continue with my implant thing though. Just want all of this done and over with. Will be nice being able to chew on that side of my mouth again though lol.

Zoe's school is one of those progressive healthy schools. Don't get me wrong.. it's a really great school, but their policy on no sweet treats and not celebrating Halloween sucks balls. The kids still kinda sorta get to dress up, but it's Career week (like elementary school kids need to be thinking about that shit?)... so they can dress up as a real life career they want to be when they grow up.
I keep asking Zoe what she wants to be and her response every time is "a Rockstar!!!"
Yeah, she likes singing and making up her own songs, but not anymore than any other kid I would imagine lol. Just so random.
I dunno what the heck to put her in. May need to go out and buy her an outfit to wear.
Maybe like a doctor costume or something.

They had their first trunk or treat at aunt's church yesterday. Of course the kids had a lot of fun.
Everyone loves Oren's costume.
We got him a Groot costume at Target. Also bought a Rocket Racoon backpack when it was on sale and use it as part of his costume. We bought the backpack a while ago which is why we dressed him as Groot lol.
I'll have to post photos b/c he's frickin adorable in his costume. It fits him almost perfect and he looks adorable in it.
Zoe picked herself out an Ariel dress to wear. She wanted to go as some Shimmer & Shine character? No idea... but she saw the Ariel costume and wanted it. We didn't bother with a wig but did get her a little Ariel crown to go with it. She's happy with it and that's all that matters.
Ezra.. I bought Ezra's a while ago. IT's a teddy bear costume, but I also bought a brown men's shirt to go over his head so he can look like an Ewok :D
It's adorable! He could only wear it for a little bit bc it got too hot yesterday. Shouldn't be a problem tonight though when we do Trunk or treat at DH's church.
I'll get photos to post :)

Oren is talking a lot more. Can't understand him a lot, but he's trying.
Still not any closer to potty training. Just putting it off b/c I'm lazy and don't want to clean up pee and poop everywhere.

Already had to clean up Rocko dog crap 3 days in a row. We've been keeping our newest pup inside in the sunroom during the night since it started getting colder. We take everything he could chew out, including the trampoline every single night.
Not a huge deal, just a little annoying.
He was doing fine, but I guess the dog food or something is upsetting his stomach bc we kept waking up to soft poo piles. He had a couple of pee accidents too.
So frickin annoying having to carpet clean at 6am :\

Not feeding him at night anymore though. He'll get fed in the morning and have his night feedings given early afternoon.

What else what else....

Zoe is doing well in school. They get laps (walking around during recess) when they misbehave and Zoe usually has to do 1 or 2 for stupid things. Oh well... just so long as it's nothing serious.. I'm not gonna sweat it... although I keep telling her she needs to listen.
They get their first report cards on Thursday. Not sure what that's going to look like for kindergarten.
Can't wait to get her school picture in finally. Wish they gave parents previews of it like SiL's got. She could go online and look at the photo and also pick and choose which backgrounds she wants and in what size.
Us? Gotta wait and see, but oh of course we had to pay first before we get to see anything and don't have any customization options.
/grumble

I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot of stuff that has happened. It's just all life stuff as usual going on :)

Banged the hell out of his head!

Ezra is a climber. He was playing in the sunroom on their little slide thing. I can't see it from where I sit in the living room. Guessing he got to the top of it and I dunno if Oren pushed him or if he fell on his own, but he did fall off and smacked the crap out of his head on a wooden stool at the bottom.
It left a giant knot on his forehead that turned purple.
Thankfully after some crying and snuggling, he was acting normal. I did call his doc office, but they reassured me that so long as he's acting normal, not vomiting or anything like that, that they don't have to see him.
Made my heart stop though.

My teeth still hurts. Not enough to need strong pain meds, but I'm gonna have to go take some ibuprofin or tylenol in a second after I get done with this. It's just a dull ache that's also giving me headache. Probably b/c I can't keep the holes from the wisdom teeth cleaned out I'm sure. Need to take better care of things.

Zoe had her school pictures done last week. Can't wait to see how they look :D I let her pick out her own outfit, but I made her wear her hair in pigtails.
She wasn't happy about that b/c she likes wearing it down, but we compromised and she did 2 braided pigtails :)
Kindergarten is going on their first field trip this Thursday to the local state park, but Zoe won't be going.
We already paid for it, but forgot that we were going to the fair that day. I really want her to go on the field trip, but we decided to just go to the fair as planned.

Oren, myself, and Ezra have a cold. Started with Oren. Nothing bad. Just runny stuffy noses mostly.

I think that's about it. Or well... all that I can think of right now. DH is off today. I took Zoe to school so I made him go to pick her up lol.

I keep forgetting!

At least I think I keep forgetting.
We finally heard back from Ezra's heart scan and everything is perfectly fine with his heart. Thank goodness!!!

All the kids are doing well. Zoe got in trouble at school. They send home folders with their homework assignments and whatnot every day along with either a green, yellow, or red lightouse to symbolize if they were good, kinda bad, or teacher needs to seriously talk to the parents bad.
Zoe got herself a yellow lighthouse the other day for not following the rules and not listening.
She was not happy about not having her kindle for the day, being made to clean up, and being stuck in her room.
Told her that if she did it again, she wouldn't get her kindle back and I'd make her throw a toy away along with cleaning the rest of the house. Yeah... she got that green lighthouse the next day.
Going to have to keep reminding her for a while to behave herself in school.

Oren is good. Talking more... and tantrums tantrums tantrums. I make him go to his room to scream and cry and carry on. He goes on and on and on and it drives me up the damn wall when he does it. He'll usually calm if I threaten to put him down for a nap if he doesn't calm down, but sometimes he won't.. so in to his room and in to bed he goes to cry and scream and carry on while I cling on to the little bit of sanity I have left in me.

DH lost in on him today which pissed me off though b/c he had the nerve to get a tone with me when I zoned out something Zoe was trying to tell me. Like dude... if you heard her.. get your ass up and go see what she's talking about. I'm not the only fucking parent in this house. Just b/c they say Mommy all the time doesn't mean you get off the hook and can ignore them. And yes... I am DAMN good at zoning them out.. something HE needs to get good at b/c he gets short tempered with them too damn often and it just ends up putting everyone else in a shitty mood.
I love DH and he is a good father, but he is the type of person that can not admit to being wrong. Oh... he knows when he's wrong... he will just never say it and I can probably count on my hands how many times he's apologized.
Just frustrating shit that I'm sure pretty much all married folks go through. Not a huge deal... just every day BS that we'll get over and then complain about again down the road lol.

We're starting back up with better eating again. Not AS strict again. Like... we'll be having some rice or tortilla shells or something every once in a while, but more controlled portions with that stuff.
Not looking forward to it b/c I loves me some sweets, but I want to lose weight before we go to Disney.

Have I mentioned that yet?
SiLs want to go to Disney in Feb. It was for November of next year, but DH's grandfather doesn't think he's gonna be alive for that long so the trip was bumped up to Feb.
I wanted to save more money before we went to Disney. Also wanted to wait at least a couple more years for our other 2 to get a little older, but whatever.
Oh... I still want to go again though when they open up that Star Wars luxury hotel. Hell yes I want to go to that!!

What else what else...
My brother and his family moved out of their house. Their dumbasses weren't paying rent. So when MiL and them asked them to pay some of it. Not even all of it, just start paying some of it again... nope. They moved.
Good lord my brother is such a fucking LOSER and ya know what.. so is his wife. I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt so many damn times, but she's just as bad. She could've easily have gotten her license so she wasn't stuck at home all the time. Could've made sure my brother wasn't such a GD dumbass at his jobs so he would stop quitting or getting fired, but nope. She was content and let that shit happen and kept letting it happen.
DH's family took them all in like they were their own. Thought and still thinks of them like family and all they ever did was shit all over that and take advantage.
Their rent was only $500 a month... and without even talking to anyone about it, they decided to only pay $400. DH's grandpa wasn't happy about it, but they're basically family so he let it slide b/c they're not rich and need a place to live.
 They RUINED that house by smoking in it and letting their pets shit and piss ALL the time all over the wood floors and never cleaning it up. SiL was home ALL OF THE TIME and never picked up after the animals and never made her children clean up after themselves either.
Now they've moved out in to apartments that won't allow animals and they left their dogs at the house. MiL and them found their abandoned pets at the house with a bunch of furniture and no water. I'm sure my brother lied to SiL and told her he was feeding them or some shit.
And I dunno what they're going to do when they can't pay rent at the apartment when he quits or loses his current job too.
UGH he's just a fucking dumbass. I can't stand him. I'm just done. There's only so much you can take from people and I'm just done with their bullshit.
If SiL came to us and said she was leaving him.. I'd help her then... but if she's staying.. nope.
Leave me and my family out of your bullshit.


Phew.. end of rant. Didn't intend to rant about that, but well.. there it is.
