How have you been?

What's this induction I am hearing about at AG's thread?

If I can't stay awake for a birth, I couldn't possibly raise one!

Ugg, anyway, just stopped home to get some comfy clothes, and a frappacino, and some DVD's for her. They have a player in the room. OH, and my sons Bob Marley blanket, because I forgot they keep hospitals at minus zero temps.

Will update when I get back. They are giving her some kinda, whassit thingy, bulb? balloon? IDK, goes into the cervix and then they double the petocin drip. All this to avoid a c-section, so insurance doesn't have to pay. Good ole' American medicine. whoo hoo!!

*I buzzed the nurse, (she actually answered!) to ask for a heating pad. My daughters ribs were bothering her. They said they would have to order one? Is this like a pizza? It's a hospital!!!! Don't you have a closet full of those things!! Have mercy! Two hours later and she still hasn't got it, so I'm bringing that too.

Maybe I'll just deliver him myself as well!!

Does this mean that I can say "Congratulations!!!"?

Can I light some fireworks?

She said the Father has already developed middle of the night deafness. LMAO!

Very familiar with that!!

Anyway, she was hooked up to the I.V. and had the baby in her arms, and she needed to use the restroom. So, she was calling his name, and saying, "David, take the baby, take the baby! I have to pee!"

His response was this sleep walking thing, where she said he grabbed a blanket and shook it out, (like the baby was in it?? LOL) and said, "there you go," and promptly fell back asleep.

I think I'm gonna enjoy that one when my girl has a baby <evil grin>

My mom has her "curse" that she put on my sister and I. She says "may you have one just like YOU" lol. Well I popped out 4 and my sister 5. So much for one...

But seriously, doesn't it make you...almost want another one? almost, right? lol.
They are just so sweet when they are babies.
Then they learn how to stand and walk and it's downhill from there.

Tell her she'll spend the first two years teaching him to walk and talk and the next 16 yrs telling him to sit down and shut up!

I kinda look forward to being a grandma...not anytime soon hopefully. But you get to hold them and enjoy them....then give them back lol.

Ohhhh I'm honory today...

CONGRATS TO YOU AND YOUR BABIES!!

yes grandkids are great, i had a lot more to do than cuddle and give back but i wouldn't trade my relationship with him for anything...and ultimately i have way less stress than when i was a mom.

ACTUALLY, she said, "may you have a TEENAGER just like you!" I was God awful.

Ran away when I was 15 with a 25 year old. It took her a week to find me. That was just one lil thing. I used to steal their cars, OH MY!!
So, ok, one teenager down, two to go, I keep eye balling the other ones wondering which one exactly my Mother has cursed!!

KAT, it was a marathon. You know what? I am STILL shaking, it affected me that bad. Also my arms and legs feel like...I dunno, the way you feel when you've done unusual strenous exercise. I mean, I held her legs, rubbed her back. But just leaning for hours over that hospital bed has totally wiped me out. Probably mental exhaustion too.
When she was pushing, I started pushing, OMG, it's on the video!! I figured if she watched my face push, she would mirror me, which she did. Then it occurred to me, I need to be careful, I could pee my pants!! LOL! I don't think I would of noticed at that point!!

You know what Wink, it does give me baby fever.
Crazy.
What is worse? The Pisces I have been talking to loves babies, he said, "Well, if we got together like in the next year, we could still have another one!!!"

I have entertained the thought, and then I wake myself up, and say, "are you insane!!"

The new in-law-ish people are being pains in the rear end. They force themselves over her house with their huge tribe of unruly children, and wake the baby! Gasp! Out of his sleep, to play with him! Then wonder why he's so "fussy!" Grrrr. People can be somethin' sometimes!

*Angsty Musing Alert*

Why, oh why, do people want to involve me in their drama??? I don't bother anyone!

The ScorpEx's brother was texting me last night, which I couldn't answer because I'm out of phone minutes.
Apparently the lot of them went out for St. Patrick's Day, to the bash that started at 6 am.

I have known this particular Scorpio for three years, and he should NOT be drinking beer at 6am!! He can drink three to my one. Hell, he can drink one whole beer in one chug! ugggg!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, he couldn't drive (oh, big surprise!) and he had to have his brother follow him and my friend home. Once there, there was some kind of scandal, who knows what, and he threw his brother out (this would be when the frantic texts were being sent <--- Like I can do anything about it, home with 4 kids and a newborn, and no car) so then the cops were sent to the brothers house AFTER he had already left peacefully.

*This is the petty stuff the ex does, "Oh, you want to dis me? Fine, I'll call the cops on you!" ???????

So, in turnabout is fair play action, the brother shows the cops the texts from Mr. Scorpio, which of course, are horrible death threat texts, and the cops say, "WELL, okaaay, and where does HE live??"

His brother wouldnt tell (go CAPS!!) and told them it would all be fine.
But, genuis #1 didn't bother to realize that when you dispatch cops to someone ELSE'S house, your adress will be known from your phone call. He called from the land line.

SOOOOO.... they showed up at his house. IDK how he got out of that one, but he did.

THEN, I get a rash of nasty emails because the brother is still my friend, and I wasn't even there!

Now he's on a plane to Hawaii, not even caring about the drama he stirred up, while the rest of us are walking about muttering under our breaths. ARRRRGGGGGHHHHHHG@#!!!*&^%$$^%$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess my musing is along the lines of...why does he do this??

He couldn't be bothered to respond to my text when Mandee was being induced, but yet, when his brother gives him imagined trouble, THEN he wants contact??

Is this like a way to not let go. Find something, anything to b!tch about and mail me? Pfft!!!

Anyway, it IS even sunnier out, but, after all that stuff I did yesterday, then holding and playing with the baby last night, I am wiped out.

I doubt there will be any wall washing today, or after school hoop shooting with mini-sco.
