The nutso takes off the moo moo, and puts on some pants.

I guess the nut bag should update, and let all my devoted readers (all 4 of you) know I am still alive, I still have "those days" but after hearing from more of my friends that they feel the EXACT same way, and just as often as me.


Well thanks. I needed that.


It was alot last week. Weaky turned one, and we threw a great party. (Saturday)
Then Monday was his 1 year check up, and well you know how that went.
Then Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday it was time to ship all the stuff from the garage to my parents for the big annual garage sale there subdivision has. And to gather and price as much of my crap as I could.
We (we as in, myself, Bagel and Weaky. Spaghetti had to work Wrigley for the two days) left Friday morning, and came home Saturday night. (but made $200!)
My IL's took the kids Saturday night.
Sunday we drove out with McD's to pick up the kids. Brought them back home, got ready then drove to Chicago to just spend the day in the city. (later post) Got home around 9 pm
Today was Weaky's DOC band at 10:15, and then home to mow the lawn, Spaghetti is gone again, more Wrigley!


I am looking forward to tomorrow. Nothing planned.
Wednesday is Christ Hospital for Weaky's CF testing. NOT looking forward to that.
I do believe the rest of the week is NOTHING.

NOTHING. NOTHING. NOTHING.


Spaghetti is OFF all 3 jobs. I have NOTHING going on.


Speaking of nothing, I think I should plan a stamp camp of some sort. My mom keeps bugging me. This is the longest I have ever gone with out having a class, and no newborn to blame for the break. I just don't want to right now.


So. I am fine. Still nuts. But fine non the less.

DOC band. Day 27

It's been 27 days of the DOC band wearing. This picture was taken right after he got it on.

(Spaghetti was taking his own pictures with his phone in the background)



Weaky did so well with it on, even right away. He sometimes get sleepy and pulls on it, but he has totally adjusted to it. Sweats alot, but his body only took a few days to regulate the heat else wear!

Now the maintenance of the DOC band and baby wearing it, are a bit much. Even if I don't want to bathe him daily, if I don't he smells funny. (nobody wants a smelly kid, it's like head B.O.)

So after a fun day of playing...

and more playing...

We head to the tub, or for the fast cheat we go to the sink. (the water is running because Spaghetti was getting ready to rinse Weaky's head) But there is always the scrubbing of the helmet with the 70% alcohol and a toothbrush. every. day.

Lots of fun in the sink with our Count Von Count phone (no batteries in this one!)

Look at my skinny boy! More PediaSure please!

Speaking of PediaSure since Dr. B put him on "weight patrol" and we just had our one month weight check on Thursday, Weaky is 1.6 lbs bigger! He drinks 8oz of PediaSure a day.

Dr. B was happy with his growth, and soon he will lap Bagel in weight!

Wala! InSaNiTy has a comeback...

Sooooo... what do you think? Magic huh?



Pretty page?



Three columns?



Bright and funny?



Well designed?



Yes, I did put it up here.

And no I did not design it.

WAY back in June I was visiting my friends over at the Secrets in the Sauce (Quigs, you have got to visit if you haven't already!) and I was there first winner (and boy did I win big) anywho, one of my prizes was a FULL blog makeover by Shannon over at Eight Crazy Designs (awesome job!)



Beautiful. Why has it been gone you ask?



Sigh, long story short. I realized I had WAY to much family information, and details on the old blog (blocked by everyone but me, don't try to find it. ) and sadly I needed to start new. The old blog dated back to Feb. 2007, with over 2000 post in it alone! But knowing I wanted to blog for many more years, I knew I needed to start over. With fun secret names, and less family information, and just more of me rambling.



What is up with the title?



Well if I could get Shannon to fix me, so I read "Spaghetti and Bagels" that would be super. Even though "InSaNiTy At ItS bEsT" is pretty catchy too. I will have to stick with what I got.



And I know some of you may notice I change my background about every two weeks. How will I handle keeping it the same?



It's kind of a way to keep me from dinking around online more then I already do. I have an awesome layout. I need to just go rearrange furniture in my house if I need some change.



SO there you have it. Big, blue, and here for a while. I really just wanted 3 columns. I had to much stuff for one column, and well don't get me started on those sites with the cheat help to edit my HTML and get the 3 columns. I had stuff everywhere!



Why go elsewhere when I have this pretty page in hiding! Hope you like it!

Weaky Man updates

My little Weaky Man is getting so big so fast! I am trying to hold onto every little cry and morning smile, knowing it goes so fast, and changes from a helpless little baby to an already big boy. Here are some fun pictures of Weaky... enjoy!

Weaky and the sexiest Santa I have ever seen! (Spaghetti was Santa at the video store!)

Weaky loves to grab onto Ding and Dong's face. The girls are SO good about this!

This is my good morning face, "hello handsome!"

Weaky at the mall play place, standing on his own!

He LOVED the red car, it was very shiny and he loved to grab the steering wheel.

He doesn't even need me to hold his bottles, for about a month now, he has been feeding himself. I still like to, he is getting so big!

Weaky is SO close to getting his bottom teeth, I would have sworn the would have come through while I was gone, but not yet.

He can push himself up, but not on his knees yet. He gets around by rolling everywhere, and doing the backwards floor hump/scoot move.

He can sit up on his own, with still a few tip overs. (when a toy is to far and he tries to reach)

He is scheduled for his first DOC band appointment on Monday the 19th, I will keep you all posted when I know more.

Weaky started talking last week. Lots of Ma Da Ba's. He is getting to be a very vocal little man. I can tell in his cries he has changed too. The are less "helpless baby" and more "big baby cry" not sure if that makes sense. But his crying has changed.

At 8 1/2 months old, he has had 5 haircuts. I hold off for as long as I can.

And that is the news on Weaky Man, hope you enjoyed my pictures. (Damn he is a cute kid!)

Chisle our way in.

So yesterday was snow, snow, and some snow.

Spaghetti and I go out around 4 while kids are snoozing, and shovel (mind you the sun is pretty much gone by now)

Snowblower. Piece o' shit, won't start. Spaghetti shoveling, and the damn shovel breaks. WTF.

I go next door and borrow Chris' two shovels.

I decide to clean up one side of the garage and get at least the truck in the garage, because let me tell you loading a 2 1/2 year old and an infant carrier into a car, surrounded by a foot of snow, and glass like ice. We've already slipped a few times, Bagel completely wiped out onto her back once (thank god for the 5 layers of clothes for padding) I have no grass either to stand on. It is solid ice. Solid)

(let me just say this is from Friday, when we had the first ice storm. Now there is about 11" more snow and ice on top. But just to show you how thick the ice is. Spaghetti and I walked back and forth on this all morning. No footprints. Solid ice. )

I cleaned out the garage, super. Go hop into the truck. The truck does not go forward into the garage, it goes backwards down the ice drive way. Fuck.

No traction. at. all. The tires were spinning, and we got the truck up to 80 mph and still going no were.

We were determined and now instead of snow it was sleeting on us (for those of you, sleet is tiny ice balls at rain speed, hitting you in the face) that we were going to get the truck into the garage.

We grabbed hammers. And went at the driveway. (the other day we used the hammer to get at the truck)

Just where the tires were, hoping for some sort of traction. About 2" of solid ice. 40 minutes later, the truck is in.

Oh and when the Village plows the street, the make a small mountain at the end of our driveway. So you better fucking floor it on the way out!

This morning was wonderful! 35 degrees is like a heat wave right now, and it melted most of the streets, with the plows clearing the way.

Since then it has snowed, and sleeted some more, what a way to start winter. Oh and I feel like someone beat me, from the shoveling and chiseling at the driveway.

Merry Christmas again!

Snug as a bug

Hi. I swear I am here. Just trying to get things together around the house. I swear lately I have just been blogging excuses as to why I am not blogging. I must tell you all about Monday (insanely busy!!)

Other then that I also have a shitload of pictures to share, and... oh we are buried in snow here. Mmmm snug as a bug in a rug in my house, in our 4" to 6" of snow. Not excited for the ice storm that is supposed to knock out power for days coming this weekend. Even more reason to STAY INSIDE!

Well it was nice talking to you all for about a minute, but children and housework are screaming my name!

Happy Bloggin!
