Oatmeal





This is why I don't like oatmeal! It ALWAYS explodes on me! Maybe I should go back to the pre-packaged stuff for the kids! I've been giving oatmeal to Thad and mixing in some cooked apples. And well... I didn't put it in the microwave for as long as it called for. I opened the microwave and was UGH!!!! Curt said, what happened? I said well, the oatmeal exploded on me AGAIN!!!!!!! Not as bad as when I tried to make Steel Cut Oats in there, but still!!! (let me tell you, holy cow, that stuff literally went EVERYWHERE!!!! There was soo much water in the microwave... Steel cut oats, yeah...)
You are probably saying why doesn't she just stand there for the less than 3 minutes to watch it? Well, funny you should think that, all I'm gonna say is, 4 kids! And I will leave it at that! I am sure you can imagine what can happen with 4 kids in under 3 minutes! :)
So I am thinking that is why I don't like that slimy gooey stuff! :)
But the kids and Curt do, so I'll keep trying to make it for them! I do the steel cut oats in the crock pot over nite, guess I better do that tonite for Thad!

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...

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...

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.
