ZzzZzz.

So I'm almost to my goal of being a SAHM. I have drastically cut my hours even more, when I started I was doing 20 hours, then I cut it to 15 then now I cut it to 9. It has been a blessing to allow me to do this. Seriously, I am enjoying it more than I expected to, and I am so happy to be able to be for Zoey. I am actually kind of sad in retrospect since I was not allowed to do that for James.

Well I need to head on to bed. I am way too pooped out. I actually have to work tomorrow.

Tradegy in the News

Please pray for these families, I cannot imagine the depths of sorrow they are dealing with. We are friends with a brother-in-law that lost his extended family.

Z-Pack - Part II

The kids are both on the Z-Pack, it's weird to see it in liquid form with cherry flavoring. Both kids have had fevers of a total of 5 days! James was starting to come around later in the afternoon. Oh and James is on phenagran w/codeine to help him sleep at night.

Z-Pack it is...

So I've been trying to avoid calling my IM. But today I caved in and gave him a call. I got on the Z-pack something that's a lot stronger than my Amox I was taking just a couple weeks ago. This so-called "Daytona Bug" sucks big time. I want sleep, and I want my normal, happy and healthy family back.....

Pass the New Breastfeeding Law!

Since I've been stuck at home sick, I've had a lot of time to catch up with local news, and with that, the state of CA is trying to pass a new law that will give Moms an extra 20 minute break for every 4-5 hrs one works. Also, it would require all health insurance companies to pay for the breast pumps. How cool would that be??

I don't know if it will pass, but it seems promising being that CA is a very breastfeeding friendly state. Look at the fact that the state is one of the very few that gives Mothers an extra 6 weeks of "bonding time" after disability.

In a sense I'm really lucky, cause I don't get docked minutes for pumping or eating lunch, so it's nice. But for those working Mothers that don't get compensated, or can't afford an efficient pump, I would like to see that for them.

By the sound of this post, I sound like a "Yuppy". I'm a breastfeeding, baby wearing, organic eating Mama.

If I Had No Loot

All this (minus the remote control) for less than $130!

So this past weekend we went to the Scrapbook Expo, and boy was it worth it. I think the next stop will have to be CHA sometime in the near future. Maybe when we have money and the husband is done w/Residency. LOL!

With all that scrapbooking supplies I've been in scrapbooking mode.

It's Been Forever!

It has been over 2 months since I've written in this thing. I haven't blogged on my family one in over a month I believe.

Well, the weather has been nice here in SoCal. I love the rain! It brings such clean air in. Ahh..... Did I mention I love the rain?

This weekend, I managed to get my butt to the Scrapbooking Expo in Orange County. It was the best thing ever! I shopped and maybe shopped a bit too much, but I got some really good deals that were too hard to pass up. A lot of the things I got were 50-75% off of what you'd see in the stores. I guess I'll have to post some layouts online soon.

Moving forth, in 3 months Miss Zoey will be celebrating her 1st birthday! I haven't gotten around to doing much of the things needed to do for the party. I am working on the party favors for the kiddos and my Dad got the location put on hold. Even with that I still have to figure out centerpieces, party favors for the adults and the food. Ahh the food issue.

I must elaborate on this later, I am too pooped out.
