Nightmares influenced by Snoring

What kind of dreams would you have if you slept next to a person that made sounds like a grizzly bear blowing its nose or attacking something or a cat frantically trying to escape a garbage disposal? Or better yet there would be no nightmares and you'd have insomnia like myself because I cannot sleep when Im constantly jabbing my husband, holding his nose shut, or trying to reposition him in hopes the madness might stop long enough I could fall asleep and go back to dreaming about being stuck in a bear cave with some pissed off bear about to enter. I cant tell you how many nights Ive tried to invent ways to stop snoring but the truth is if it was possible we would all know about it because it would end starvation, okay well at least help some people get to sleep.

Superhero Butterfly

Doc received a butterfly garden as a gift in which you receive caterpillars and watch them grow into butterflies. Of course myself being a child at heart thought this would be an awesome experience to watch metamorphosis of a butterfly. They don't care to tell you that one caterpillar would explode while trying to create a cocoon, one would die while in its cocoon, and the butterfly's stink and make allot of meconium which looks like blood which is extremely fascinating to a 4 year old boy. Yes, butterflies are beautiful and one of Gods amazing creations and I totally loved the time spent raising them. So the day came to release the butterflies, I thought taking them to a hummingbird garden would be nice, its at the park, there are flowers, and its overall just lovely. We had Doc set them free, all but one which had yet to emerge from the cocoon which instead went for a swim. Doc decided to throw the mesh butterfly home into the water to see if it would float! Awesome ideas of a 4 year old! Luckily the cocoon was safe and we brought it home to wait several days for it to emerge and be ready to set free. Our cat black insure its safety by carefully guarding it 24/7 and tried his hardest to befriend the butterfly while it stayed set up high from reach all alone. We had a few rainy days so I waited for a nice sunny day to let it free. Doc scooped the butterfly into his hand, walked it outside of the porch area, and watched it fly away. This butterfly took off straight into the air and went straight till we couldn't see it anymore. Doc said it was Super Butterfly while Im thinking to myself how high can a butterfly actually go up before it dies. Out of all the places for this butterfly to go he goes straight up! I guess I dont really care, good bye Super Butterfly and Im happy that adventure is over with.

Series of Interviews

David has been to hundreds of interviews it seems this year. In the past week I have been to 3 for the same company, phone interview for a spa, and canceled on another interview. Im done looking for a job and I still have to wait to see if I might get a job as a customer service rep at Safelite. David has taken a position at a Financial Group as a Financial adviser, but still doing some soul searching to figure out if this is what he really wants to stick his nose into. Its been about 3 months since David left his job with Bob Sanders and its really starting to get dragged out with waiting on our next turn in life. Good news is David and I dont let it get to us and if times are stressful we both find ways of enjoying each others company even if its just watching tv and making jokes. He's a great husband

September 30, 2011

Gosh I should of known that a new mom would also come January 13, 2011. After introducing our son Wyatt Burton Curtiss 7.3oz 20in long super healthy to the world I became a mother of two and walked away from blogging. Why would I ever do such a thing? So to catch up because life is moving at fast speed, I will do it quickly.

1. I love my boys! Doc and Wyatt have been the best of brothers and they lighten my day by being the sweetest most loving children ever.
2. I love my husband, I never could of imagined such a great relationship could ever happen but him and I are truely peas in a pod.
3. I love my church, they take great care of our kids, we want to spend so much time there, and both David and I have devoted allot of our time to ensure God remains in our life and we grow in the church we love.
4. I dropped out of school in August because I was realizing I much rather please my husband then my parents, and in time I will be able to give the best for my children. Right now I just need to be the best mom I can.
5. I followed Gods calling and became a table leader for MOPS on Wednesday and its such a God thing!

Today September 30,

I finally got my eyes examined and was told I need glasses and need to correct my "lazy eye" AWESOME! I took the kids to target to buy Doc more underwear because they seem to just disappear and had a terrible experience and never want to go there again. I have problems with parents not being able to control their children and treated them terribly, not that Doc is the easiest all the time, but I would never yell at him like a dog in the middle of the store. Plus, how could I when Doc is telling me if I dont buy him a toy he was going to spank me. He's so hilarious! So I buy him candy instead and rent movies so I can stay up with him late. He is and will always be my blessing. These kids melt my heart into something great. DAVID is and has been in Joplin, MO doing his calling, building homes for people that lost theirs in a tornado. Im so proud of him, but I miss him so much. The more hes gone the more I think of ways to make him happy because he makes me soo happy.

Wyatts arrival is tomorrow!

Well I have blogging to catch up on. Im counting down hours till Wyatt comes, 17 more hours. Im ready for him to be here and meet him, as well as loose all the pains and discomforts that come with being larger and carrying for 9 months. In a few Doc, Daddy, and I are going to Pita Jungle to have Mommies last meal before surgery. We are all very excited. Today Doc got his stitches out and the flu shot, he did so well and loves going to the doctor now. His Doctor said, "I didnt even notice you where pregnant" then looked shocked when I said he's due tomorrow and she tried saying I probably have back labor. Ive had alot of people say stuff like you must be 6 months, or do you have 2 months to go, and now...I didnt even notice you where pregnant. Everyone says they are compliments but Im starting to wonder if we scheduled the due date properly. Ive gone over it several times and its right on. Im just praying for a healthy baby boy at this point. Lately Ive been giving God much glory and praise and remembering had I not cried out to him in times of need, I would of never had the life I have now. I thank him for answering my prayers and blessing my family.

Yet another busy day without the Chaos

Woke up early to get Doc ready to go to San Diego to be the ring bear in my brothers wedding which was conveniently planned out of state and 5 days before our C-section so I couldn't go, but Doc and his little hurt chin will be there for us. He gets to go to Sea World Tomorrow, lucky little guy. After I sent him off with the grandparents I went to my very first MOPS group (Mothers of Preschoolers) Parking lot was full of mini vans and I was surprised to see such a large turn out of beautiful, excited ladies. I must say Im really excited to connect with other women and my table seems to have very lovely, nice mothers to get to know. It was comforting that several of them have had repeat c-sections and 3 year olds as well. Its nice to relate to someone and not feel like the odd one. Later this afternoon Im going to meet up with Candice again to pick up our Pottery we painted. Im excited to see how it turns out! I painted a water bowl for our cat Black with a scary fish inside it. Doc is really into scary things right now so I thought he would get a kick out of the scary fish Black will have to look at everyday.

Gods way of saying I can manage

Today our neighborhood was on lock down and my house sounded like a battle field with helicopters, police sirens, and the news channel full blast pretty much all mid-day on the hunt for an fugitive and because a business close by had a armed man holding hostages. To much excitement for me. On top of it all I felt like I had the flu and didn't know if I should be in bed or the toilet, both won of course, and David wasn't going to be coming home from work. I decided to call my mom at 7pm to tell her keep an ear out for the phone just in case I went into labor. But as I was getting the house picked up thinking I should shower and be ready in case I go into labor all my plans and anxiousness turns to concern for Doc. Poor guy slipped in the tub and hit the basket that holds his toys, busting his chin and even forced a tooth through his lip. But my little guy quickly became interested in stopping the blood and was excited when I explained to him we'd be going to the hospital for stitches. We had been practicing playing Doctor that day and the day before so he was ready. He was so good at the hospital and everyone loved his happy spirit. Come stitches time he remained so calm and even fell asleep after the 2 of 5 stitch. David was able to make it just to see the stitches, I about fainted, probably because I was holding my breath for the trooper. The kid next to us getting an IV was screaming bloody murder but that didnt phase Doc at all. Im proud of him for being such a big kid. We finally checked out at 11:56 and went home to end such a long day. Thank you Lord for protecting us, keeping Doc comforted, and helping me remember your here to help me through times I wish I could ovoid but life does happen.

No more OB Visits

Today was my last OB appointment with Dr. Jen Iacovelli whom is the coolest doctor ever. I cant wait for our date January 13 at 11:00am to Deliver Wyatt via Repeat cesarean. So far my last two appointments have shown I have just gained loads and loads of weight, start weight 113 weight today 167, Fun! Also, my cervix refuses to change even the slightest so Im happy to be doing a c-sections rather than long labor with a statistic rate of 77% of women that have non-progressive labor receive cesarean. But Im fully prepared for his arrival and much more ready for the operation so this delivery (cross my fingers, pray to God) will be a breeze!

January 1, 2011

What better way to start the year then to have your parents stop by as a surprise visit and bond with your son at a football game? Aunt Tracy was so kind to give David and Doc tickets to the Fiesta Bowl to watch the Sooners VS Huskies and enjoy a pre-game party. Doc was the highlight of the game and was ever so excited to get free bags of Chips, soda, jump in the bouncers, and shout with fellow sports enthusiast. He stayed up past 11:00pm to make sure I heard all the highlights of his day. I couldn't more happy for them.

New Year New Mom

For the year 2011 I will be a mother of two, a full time student, and Im even part of a Mothers of Preschoolers group so why wouldn't I just add to all of that and start blogging? I really enjoy writing and creating new tasks for myself and I think creating a new hobby is always healthy. Besides I would rather talk to myself then a network of people that have little or no interest in my family. So here we go, new year, new family, awesome way to start The Chronicles of the Curtiss Family.
