No More Plug

Okay, well, it is still there, but not really! :O)
I have been wanting for LONG time to get rid of Skylar's plug! But every time I think about it, we were going somewhere, things were going on, just not a good time to stop it.
The other two were SUPER easy to get rid of it. When they were about 13 months, they got a bad cold where they couldn't breathe, so I just chucked them then and have been fine ever since! Well, Skylar has gotten some bad colds to where she can't breathe with the plug in, but you know what she does? She would stick it in her mouth and suck on it, then pull it out to catch a breath and keep doing that til she fell asleep with it half in and half out of her mouth!
I was reading somewhere that the mom would snip a little off the top of the plug until there was no more to suck and then the kid was done with it! Well, I tried that, but when I went to cut, someone gave over and gave a big hug on my legs and my hand slipped and I cut a little more than I wanted to! Opps...
I put Skylar to be at 7:20 last nite. At first she wasn't to happy with me, but she actually got over it and just kept saying mommy? Mommy? MOMMY!!!! But then she would get really quiet, then I would hear her playing with something, then it would get really quiet again! I put the other 2 to bed at 8:30 and had Kotah go upstairs to sleep in our bed until I KNEW Skylar was asleep! (If you put those 2 to bed at the same time, it is NOT fun!! They will stay up til 11 playing with each other!)
I then finished off some things, then went to check on her at 9:15 and she was dead asleep! I noticed at 8:50, it got REALLY quiet, but still didn't want to risk going in there, JUST IN CASE! I think she was hollering at me to tell me the nite light light bulb blew, so she was in total darkness! :O( I felt bad!
Today for nap I put her to bed at 1:00 and about 45 minutes later of talking/fussing/playing, she feel asleep! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She still has her blankie, I DO NOT DARE take that thing away! Not from any of the kids! :O) But so happy to be finally rid of that stupid plug!!!! I really didn't want her to have it over 15 months, but yeah, that didn't happen! She will be 2 Sept 12! (Atleast I got it done before she turned 2!!!! :oP)
I should also mention she still likes to HOLD it, but it doesn't go in mouth! Will try not giving it to her at all tonite! Need to think of something to do so she will be EXHAUSTED and go RIGHT to sleep! :O)

Run-Aways

Wow, this has seriously been an eventful week! Starting off with the whole fabric softener mis-hap, which you can read on here if you didn't see or hear about it! Then Curt left Monday nite, Tuesday, well, it was ok, we had mom's group and the kids were acting up a bit, but nothing too bad... Then Wednesday I had a meeting at the church... It started out ok, the meeting wasn't long at all! Gavin came into the room and said he wanted to go play outside on the playground. I told him no, because I couldn't see him. I said, what if someone came by and picked you up and grabbed you and took you somewhere? Mommy would never see you again and I would be soooo sad! I said, I can't see you, so you need to stay inside. Well, not more than 3 minutes passed and Kotah comes up to me and says, uh, mom, Gavin is trying to go outside. So, I get up, go over to him and talk. I asked him what is he doing? he says, I WANT to play OUTSIDE! I said, bubby, I can't see you, so you can...

Cancelled

What a busy crazy day! Curt left right away this morning around 7 to get his blood taken.  He got back and then Audrey got here.  We played and picked up for a bit then left to go to the Health Department to get our TB test done.  We got there around 10ish and they told us we needed to make an appointment.  So we waited for a bit to make an appointment.  Thankfully they had an opening for today yet.  They only do these tests on Friday, so we really didn't want to have to wait until next Friday if at all possible.  Got an appointment for 1:15 and 1:30.  I was thinking ugh, either no nap and very little nap, but I didn't care!  ;) Got home, cleaned up a bit more, got the kiddos some lunch, then we turned around and left to go back to the Health Department.  (I did NOT see the water guy! ;)) Got back there, got asked some questions, wanted to know why I need the test...  I said adoption.  They saw all the other 5 kids and as...

Update on Dad...

Mom called a little while ago. Dad will be admitted, they aren't sure yet what caused the pain. He had fever, but it now is broken. He is also a little jaundice, so that is why they were/are thinking that his stent moved... They had to poke him 3 different times to try and get an IV in, his veins were so tight because he was in so much pain, he was tensing up. They took some blood from both arms and are still waiting on the results of that. They also did a chest x-ray. So still waiting, but atleast he isn't in any pain. The gave him a shot of morphine to take care of the pain, and it finally worked.
