Just wanted to say Happy Mother's Day to all you cats out there with kittens and Happy Birthday to Liz. I hope you all have a great day.
In other news, I met with a specialist on Monday and she seems to think I just need some "fine-tuning" she is going to start me on femara next month along with metformin and she seemed pretty hopeful that it would work. If not, she will go in and check my tubes to make sure they are not blocked. So good news overall and hopefully she is right!

We are not the only ones...
Okay, most of you shoudl know my friends Greg and Jessica Adkins. They have a four year old son, Connor who is best buds with Atley and Ava. Today he posted this story on his blog and i just HAVE to share it with you. Enjoy!
1) Yesterday I took him to the Fountain City Duck Pond to feed the ducks. We've been many times and it's always a lot of fun... the ducks swim around and swarm to eat the bread we throw in the nasty pond. Anyway, on this day the ducks weren't hungry and we saw four big geese over in a grassy area. I told Connor we should go try to feed them and Connor took off towards them. I think the geese saw this as a threat because one of them went into full on attack mode. It was one of those "I wish I had my video camera" moments... that goose went absolutely berserk on Connor. It started hissing and squawking and charged straight into Connor knocking him to the ground. The goose then started pecking Connor in the stomach... it happened so fast I didn't know whether to laugh or scream. I swung my big garbage bag full of bread around my head slingshot style and slapped the goose gone wild right in the neck. It knocked him down and I was able to scoop Connor up and we ran back to safety. That probably sounds more heroic than it looked... I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to hit the ducks but I'm also pretty sure they're not supposed to eat your children... as Ben would say on Lost "They changed the rules".
Connor was obviously completely freaked out and was crying pretty hard... he threw his bread in the direction of the ducks and screamed "You ducks are mean! I'm not a snack!" Traumatic, but also completely hilarious.
Let me know how hard you laughed! Love you cats!

victory in Jesus
Hello Kitties!
Meow! Eliana is a different child since her ear tubes. She sleeps better and is definitely a much happier eater, although she definitely was not lacking in the weight department. Gabe goes tomorrow for his second set of tubes! Scott and I have spent the past two days deathly ill due to contracting a deathly virus from ever so infectious children! Nonetheless, school is out in about 14 days, and all I can say is when the crap is Jesus coming back for me!!!
Liz, you are the coolest mamacat ever! tye-dye shirts!! Bets, I will keep you in my prayers! Mandy, I did receive your phone message and I appreciate your concern! I will be fine, God always digs me up out of the pit all covered in mud and washes me clean again!! Anyway, I love you all and miss you! By the way, Gabe told his pre-school teacher that he loves me because I give him diet coke. Couldn't get more redneck except if I put it in a baby bottle!!

New blog
Ladies,
Just wanted to let you all know that I started a blog of our own- mostly for family that lives far away to keep in touch, but you are welcome to check it out.

Love the t-shirts Liz! Maybe Eli could give you a little tase in the neck to help loosen it up.

stiff neck
My Kitties...I have had the worse stiff neck in history the past few days. It is the most painful thing that I have experienced--second only to childbirth. I think I did something funky when I was shoveling out in the yard on Saturday. I woke up on Sunday and couldn't hardly function--praise the Lord for Advil. Then yesterday I was brushing my teeth and triggered it again. I had to skip BSF and lie around in bed most the mornign. Eli had to flip me and hold my head just so I could change sides--so humiliating and pathetic! Things seem to be better today...thankfully!
At my girl's small group yesterday we tie dyed T-shirts. I made one for Kenna, Duncan and myself. We are all wearing them today and we looked like a bunch of tree-huggin' hippies in the hardware store this morning. I'll have to post a pic when the kids get up from nap. I bought a bunch of seeds and hope to enlist Kenna when it's time to plant. I'm going to make a little gardener out of her.
Bets--glad to hear from you. I can't believe what a strange time you are having with this getting-pregnant business. I have a friend here in Indy that had a very hard time getting pregnant a second time. She just delivered triplets!! I'll be praying for you :)
Well, I hear the mail truck--one of the few minor highlights of my day.
Talk later

Well, well, well...
Sorry I haven't posted much ladies. I was hoping to wait to be able to post some good news on the pregnancy front but that hasn't happened yet. I go to see a specialist on May 5 so hopefully we will get some answers, although I am not getting my hopes up. We are counting down to the end of school here- only about 3 weeks left so that is great! Brevin has 5 more days of MDO. Speaking of Brevin- the other night I went outside to start some work in the yard and Swartz was in the bathroom so he and Brevin were going to come out when he was done. A few minutes later I hear him yell out the door, "I need some assistance in here." So I come back in to find out that Brevin appeared to him at the bathroom door holding his underwear that had a big turd in them. Swartz puts him in the tub since there is poop down his leg and on the bottom of his foot and I set off to find where this evil deed took place. I look all over the house for his shorts and don't see them anywhere. We ask him where he pooped and he can't seem to remember- although I am sure he was employing selective memory here. I finally find them in the laundry room with little poop prints all over- at least it was in there and not on the carpet. So as you can see, he still does not want to poop on the potty- but is doing great with the peeing (although his preferred place to pee is outside- luckily we live in the country)! I am hoping he will come around soon because I get a little tired of cleaning poop out of underwear- thank goodness he only poops once every couple days- and a lot of times he will wait until he has a pull-up on for nap time to go. Well enough about bodily functions- Mandy I need to get this stroller back to you- I promise I will drop it off soon! Love you all!
