Jen's Thai Palace

Well I celebrated my b-day this weekend, even though my b-day was on the 20th of this month.  So I went over to Skip's on Fri. and we drank till about midnight,  we were pretty toasty.  Thank god I live just around the corner.  I went out last night with my frienf Jen to a hospital party, which was serving free drinks.  So needless to say we go pretty toasty again.  We went out to this new club and danced all night, which was a blast since I haven't done that in like forever!!  Than of course IHOP after.  Man do my legs hurt like hell today.  I has heels on so my feet are killing me too.  Man I feel like an old lady.  I guess I have to do that more often to get myself use to it again.  But I think I'll rest for a while, since I have a four day weekend.  I start every other Sat. next week.  So I can have more days off during the week with the baby.  So I'm excited about that.  Well I guess that's enough for now...

Well I'm finally back after a long pause from the blogging world.  Well lets see let me catch you up on what I've been up to in the last 4 months.  I had my baby boy Myron on the 13th of Sept. at 0824, weighing in at 8lbs 10 ounces and 20 inches long.  Big baby I know, I carried for what seemed 3 years!!  It was a scheduled C-section, since I had one with my son Marquez I opted to have another with this baby, why take the chance.  It was nice having it scheduled versus an emergency.  Even though it ws a little scary, since I do work in the O.R. and I know what goes on in there. The surgery was right on schedule and went perfectly well.  It was after that sucked so bad!!  Man having a baby in your 30's versus your 20's is much different.  It was much more harder to recover this time than last time.  It seemed like I recovered so much quicker with Marquez.  I'm still trying to recover from this one. Plus I much more fatter.  I lost all my weight so easily last time, this time not so lucky. I'm a cow, yes I joined a gym, but haven't gone yet.  I have been sick these past few days, so I have an excuse.  Anyways, it was a little tough getting use to a baby after waiting 8 years to have another one.  And Marquez was such a good baby.  Myron was a little more stubborn and had a little colic.  He spit up quit a bit also, so we switched his formula like 4 times.  But I got some great info. from a nurse I worked with about how the Target brand formula had the same exact ingrediants as the Enfamil Lipil formula nd cost more than half the less.  So allan and I took a little trip to Target to see for ourselves and of course she was right.  So we switched his formula and now he rarely spits up at all.  And we save money too.  So it was a win win situation for all.  Now he's 4 months, today as a matter of fact and is doing great.  He is such a good baby and smiles all the time.  He does have a little attitude, which I have no idea  where he gets it from:)  Plus I swtich jobs again to Boswell, and I'm on the heart team again, and I love it.  We're pretty busy, but nothing like my other job. 

And I finally gave in a let Allan move in.  He's such a great dad and a huge help.  He even gets up with the baby in the middle of the night and lets me sleep.  He also cooks dinner for me and the kids when he can.  I'm just not a cook, so if he doesn't do it than the poor kids will get hot dogs and mac and cheese.  Ok I know how to make corn dogs too.  Well I'll make sure to keep you all updated on new photos of the baby and family.  So I'm going to try to be better at the blogging so Skip will get off my back.  So until next time...

Only two more days and no more being fat and pregnant.  (Ok I'll still be fat, but just for a little while I hope).  I know it's been ages since I put in an entry, but I work night's now and I sleep untill I absolutely have only enough time to get ready (damn pregnancy). But now I'm off for 2 whole months, so I will try to keep up on my blog entry.  Even though I have no exciting news to write about.  Just that I hate being pregnant and I can't wait till Wed.  Well school finally started for my son, he's in 3rd grade.  I can't believe it!!!  This year seems to be going much better than last  year.  He hated his teacher last year and since he was out of school for 2 extra months, because we lived in MS. We were there during hurricane Katrina and moved here in Nov.  So he started school in Nov. after being out for 5 months.,  so he had a hard time getting started again. He really likes his teacher this year, I think she makes it fun to learn and so he likes it much better.  He's been doing so well so far.  Two weeks in a row he got 100% on his spelling test.  I was so proud of him, because they are not easy.  I have problem with some of them. 

I'm waiting for the carpet cleaner guys to get here.  They are suppose to be here between 10:00-12:00 today.  I wanted to get the carpets cleaned before the baby comes. I really just want to crawl back into bed since I'm beat tired.  I was up all night on Sun. with contractions and didn't get any sleep at all.  So I got up to make sure all my son's school clothes were ready for when I'm in the hospital and making sure laundry was done.  So then I called Skip early and said we were coming over just in case I had to go to the hospital. I know I should of called the babies daddy, but just didn't feel like it.  We'r estill good friends and we get along great, but I'll be around him enough when the baby is here.  He's going to stay for little while after the baby is born.  Which I'm really not looking forward to, even though it'll help me out and be a little easier.  I just hate having someone live with me.  Or maybe it's jsut because I don't want to live with him...who knows. Well I guess that's it for now, I'm starting to get really tired and can't see the screen anymore. Until next time....

Well we're finally getting rid of the van.  Allan should be picking up his new car this week sometime or on Sat. I'm not sure which day since I'm sort of out of the loop of things, except for signing the paper work.  Which I'm still not happy about at all!!!  For those of you that don't know the history let me catch you up. First of all I decided to get the van since I'm about to have a baby in Sept.  Allan has a son and of course my Marquez.  Well at he time Allan was moving in and everything was hunky dory.  So I got the van in my name and we were both going to pay for it.  I already have a car that is payed off.  Anyways I decided I wasn't ready to move in with anybody, baby or not.  So I told him...and he moved back to his place.  Well of course he didn't have a car because he got in a wreck and his car was totalled.  So here I was paying for a car and not even using it and it was in my name and he had.  Ok Ok, it was my bright idea, but you live and learn.  So I told him that it was time to get his own car and that I was tired of paying for something I'm not even using.  So of course he agreed, but the bad thing is thatI still have to have the car in my name since his credit is sooo bad.  But I told him he's going to have to fix that

up and get it refinanced in his own name by 6 months. The good thing is Allan is a good guy and I know he'll pay on it and everything, but I still don't like the fact that I have to have my name on this car.  I know that he needs it and all, but damn take care of your damn business or he wouldn't be in this mess.  So of course

that goes back to my theory that I could do better on my owm and I can.  I hate to sound mean, but it sure is a turn off.

Alright enough bitching about that.  I can't believe I updated my blog twice in one week...wow I must have too much time on my hands.  Plus I'm going to be a little late for work since I'm waiting for her to cook the spring rolls she's making for a going away party we're having for a girl at work.  Man they smell good too. She makes the best spring rolls!!!  Well she's almost done so that means off to work...

Well it'a a little after 0230 Monday morning and I'm still up, oh and so is Marquez.  Now that I'm on this evening shift I'm up pretty much all night.  And what's even more pathetic is that I've been watching the Jewelry Channel.  I even bought something!!  I'm starting to feel like an old bitty.  Marquez complains a lot about it, so I'm trying to limit myself, so tonight has been Fresh Prince of Bel Air.  We just got done eating a late snack, so we'll probably be up for a while. 

My job is still going well, except that I got my first "real" pay check this past week and it was pretty depressing.  I got such a HUGE pay cut that it hurt a little.  But I'm soooo much happier, and much more well rested.  And the people are so much nicer.  Me and a few girls went over to another girl I work with (Cecilia), on Friday night.  Of course they all got drunk and did shots, while I sat back and watched.  I still had a great time, but I really can't wait till I have this baby!!  I did have a little glass of wine, that I babied all night.  Needless to say to say I didn't get home until almost 5 in the morining.  Well  there's not much excitment happening in my life at the moment.  I'm sure has time goes by I'll be able to get into something I can really write about.  So until then just my everyday boring life.  You know staying home renting movies, and eating way too much even for a pregnant person.  Did I say  can't wait till I have this baby!!  I really don't know what's going on with the font it's doing all sorts of crazy stuff.  Who knows, I'm always pressing keys I'm not suppose to.  Look at me I'm babbling cause I'm getting tired, so I should go for now....

Well I thought it was a bout time I put in another entry since it's been a while.  I only have a few minutes since I'm still getting ready to go work.  I have to go in a little early for some sort of inservice.  Don't ask me what it's about cause I have no idea.  I'm really liking this evening shift.  We go in at finish the remaining surgery cases of the day and restock the rooms, getting them ready for the morning.  Then we pretty much just sit and chit chat, eat for the rest of the night.  It's much calmer than the other job and the people are much nicer.  I also heard we may be getting are night differential at 1500.  I think it starts a 5 or 6 now, so that would be a nice little pay raise.  So all in all I think I made the right decision and I feel so much better a well rested.  Plus it seems I have more time to spend with my son.  I'm not sure how it will be when schoool starts, but I'll worry about that when it comes. 

Only 3 more months...till the baby is here.  Man I am so ready.  I'm getting so fat and swollen. I know it has nothing to do with how much I'm eating:)  But I'm embarrassed to say how much I've gaoned,s o I'll keep tha tbit of information to myself.  I'll just say I can't wait till he gets here.  I still have so much to do.  Like get the room ready, and of course gettign the rest of the things that I need.  I have always been a last minute person so I probably won't do untill the last minute.  Well I got to get ready for another day at work so untill next time
