My boys

 Takeshi's feeling better and doing great.  So that's good.
He's also started putting two words together when he talks.
Masaru gets the most excited about it.
The one he says the most is 'NOT FAIR' with his arms crossed over this chest and sulking away like he's been hard done by.
It's pretty cute.

Masaru got kid of the month or something in his class and we got to spend lunch with him the other day.  Our whole family went.
Dru was able to get home in time then we went outside to play with him for the rest of his lunch time.
I'm waiting on the pictures from the school so I can post them up here.  But if I don't post it, I'll forget it.
They do lunch with the Principal and their families.
I just needed to write down how proud of Masaru I am and that I'm grateful for him and am really happy about his school year this year.
Love you bub
Mum

Throw up

So the other night Takeshi threw up three times.
I've written before that Dru does throw up, I'm a sympathetic thrower upper and it never goes well for anyone to have two throw ups instead of one to clean up.
So my job was to take Takeshi and clean him down.
Both times he had next to nothing on him!
He'd managed to throw up and get next to nothing on himself.
What a pro.
Then the last throw up he did IN THE BOWL I GAVE HIM!!
What child actually throws up in the bowl?
I'm beginning to think this kid is smarter than what he'd like to appear.
So after making the bed two or three times and doing the washing at midnight we finally went to sleep.
No more throw up.

Next day Yuki's playing with her mate, her mate sneezes, so there's snot all over her face.......................guess who throws up cause it's gross?
That's right Yuki.
She has my same symptoms.  I remember at intermediate the same thing happened, this kid sneezed and had this gross snot everywhere and I gagged in class and had to concentrate on something else outside the window.
Another time a kid threw up in class and so I threw up in my hand.
I wish I was tougher in this area, but I'm not.
This is one of the reasons I can't be a nurse.
Can you imagine if your nurse thought you were so gross she threw up infront of your face?
I'd be offended.
I expect my nurses to be tough...............................therefore I'll never be a nurse, it'd be too hypocritical.
So Dru's on the phone, and it's an important call.
I think to myself 'I can do this, I can clean this throw up up, I've got this'
She at least threw up on the bathroom floor trying to make it to the toilet.
Throw up on the carpet is a whole different story.
So I'm cleaning it up................I'm almost there..................I'm down to the last chunk and I start gagging.
It's mostly the smell man I'm telling you, maybe I just need a nose plug.
Anyway I start throwing up in the toilet.
It's the first time I've thrown up this whole pregnancy.
It was bound to happen I guess.
After I was finished puking my guts out I just walked out and thought 'Alright, so I couldn't do this, Dru's just gonna have to clean the rest of it up when he's finished with his phone call' and walked out of the bathroom so I could promptly brush my teeth and rinse out my mouth and wipe the tears away from my eyes.
Then that night, Takeshi's off to bed and decides he's going to throw up on the carpet on the way to bed.
He was FINE PEOPLE!!!
Luckily he only threw up that once, Dru cleaned it up and I didn't have to look at it or smell it.
Yesterday was throw up free and I hope it stays that way until Emiko comes in a month.
I don't know if Dru could take much more of this.
Love you babe !!

It's so simple

I've been thinking about my attitude today and my 'depressive' state and wondering how it could be like this when I've had such a great pregnancy for the most part.
I was talking to Dru and then it hit me like a ton of bricks.
I'm not working out.
I haven't been working out since Christmas and that's when I started to feel sorry for myself and go downhill in attitude.
The problem is that I can't really work out much at all.  I can only barely walk you know.  Let alone do anything close to what I was doing.
I think the reason why the rest of my pregnancy was so good was BECAUSE I was continually working out.
Now I'm to the point where I can't do much and it's hitting a mental nerve.
So I decided that I'm going to get outside and walk with my kids each day and see if that helps.
It might not, but it just might, and if it helps, it'll make it worth it.
I've realized in my old age I need two things (so far) to keep me from drugs...............
#1 Exersize
#2 Scripture study
If I can keep ontop of those two things, I seem to do ok.
My scripture study is going ok, but no working out must be taking it's toll on my mental status.
So I'll keep reading, praying and start walking outside in this beautiful Boise weather and see if that makes a difference.
Stay tuned I guess.
I know you're all sitting around waiting for my posts.
Admit it.

Not long......................

People ask how I'm doing.
I usually say 'Not that great' to which they reply something like this 'Yeah but you don't have long to go now right, just hang in there' with their NON PREGNANT BODIES.
Alright people THIS DOESN'T HELP.
I know I'm suppose to be hanging in there, I know there's nothing I can do about this last few weeks going by faster, I don't want Emiko to come early but what I need is just sympathy like the following 'Man sorry aye, that sucks, can I massage your feet, and give you money for a maid service for the next 5 weeks?'
That's helping.
If another person says 'Not long now' they're gonna get it.
Try me................I dare you.

Lost: Totoro

Does anyone have a "My Neighbor Totoro" in their DVD collection and not sure where it came from? We think we loaned our copy out years ago, but can't remember if in fact we did. And if we did, we certainly don't remember who we loaned it to. If you happen upon it, please send it our way; if you don't, you should buy one--your kids will love it! (I know its a stab in the dark, but thought I'd try before we buy a new one.) Thanks guys.
