Be a Pee and Poop Detective

We went to the Kidney center yesterday and due to the Dr having a emergency we ended up going to the actual hospital. Very nice but its kids in the hospital which is sad and brings up alot of questions from a 5 year old girl who is ( thankfully) healthy. So the NP had a Consult with Dr who specializes in PKD and he said as long as her urine was clean and BP was normal no testing for that....Yeah.....plus in the real world that would follow her around and be a pre existing condition.....No thank you.
They are not worried about Night time wetting....maybe next year we do a alarm if it continues but she is still too young. They call her a "sensitive" bladder so we have a note for school next year so she does not have to hold her pee......plus we remind her every 2 hours to go.....we eliminate all carbonated bev except clear ones as a treat. We also go on a fiber supplement trying to get her to BM after breakfast and not at bedtime as she has been doing ( who knew U should poop in the AM only??? anyone???)
I am just glad I should not worry, its not PKD, its not low muscle tone....its normal....whew !!
Now onto the boy.....another red bear......and he did so well.....finally passed his 7 speed drills today so he got back his DS until we got back from Therapy and saw his folder was a red bear ( talking and being silly during class time) So we took EVERYTHING away and if there is anything but Green Bears from now until Field trip day he stays home with me on that day and after that he will not get to do a entry into the science fair. His Therapist wanted to know if I thought he was getting upset about moving but I don't think so he is excited to go to GA.....maybe he has overheard about Daddy Deploying again?? Who knows....hopefully this is it for Red or Yellow Bears.
Sage goes around like a maniac.....then she goes all sweet....cleaning, cooking....awwww. Tonight it was all about The Wonder Pets Ming Ming....she goes around " Thisp is Serious" ....I must get that on video...she cracks me up. Tomorrow is Parent Teacher conf with Maddie's Teacher and swim lessons for the kids. Hoping I get some Yard sale stuff done tomorrow...UGH

Don't go to a Yard Sale........

1) When you are fixing to move and 2) a week before your own yard sale. It was so sad.....I bought nothing ....Na Da.....Sad. I had Clean Sweep, Hoarders, etc in my head the whole time. Do you NEED it? Do you REALLY have room for it? Do you LOVE it? But I did get a great idea since I am having such hard time figuring out how to show clothes. A lady there had bought these racks ( she called them drying racks ) at Wal Mart and they held quite a bit. So we went to Wal Mart and bought all they had ( only 3 ) Hopefully I can find some more Tuesday. I also had to buy more pricing stickers but now I'm out of Hangers and tags....UGH. But everyone on post had a great day selling.....esp those that are going to Korea and Germany because get this you must cut your household goods in half ......OMG that would kill me.....even cars you can only have one.
Monday we take Maddie to the Kidney Dr.....they told me to give her lots of soda on the way there because she must give a sample and we will probably do a Kidney ultrasound to rule out PKD. I must be having sympathy for her because my right one has been screaming lately. Maddie has been riding her bike while I walk in the PM so she has done 2.5 to 3.7 miles every night.....those leg muscles are really getting a work out. I think I figured out why she had so many whiteheads on her chin and around her mouth, besides the fact that she will not wash her face but she was putting chapstick on constantly and she was covering most of her lower face.....took that stuff away ASAP. Seems to be clearing up.
Kael is really acting out......he has gotten 2 yellow bears and 1 red bear this month, after months of nothing but green bears. Mostly for talking and being silly......therapy is so so.....again not taking it seriously.....but he will not get a new bike until he can ride w/o training wheels which therapy is suppose to help with so .......He is a typical class clown....but reading he is blowing away, both teacher and therapist are giving him rave reviews.
Sage is a wild Monkey.....she blows us away with her words....Papa must have got ahold of her in heaven before she came down since he swore up and down he could not understand a word Kael or Maddie said at this age. Most of the time she seems like a old soul, taking it all in. Other times I can not keep up....she exhausts me....climbing, jumping, no fear at all. Thank God the new house is one story because she is constantly on the stairs....if she is up she wants down,if she is down she wants up.
Brian finally got his Mac.....been waiting since before Christmas for the new ones to come out. So he got nothing for our anniversary ....I on the other hand got Wii Just Dance, Liberty of London purse, and a red Wii Remote since my children can never put anything back where it goes so I spend half the time I could be working out looking a remote. Finally Good Night and have a great week.

1) Sage's first look at the monkee's

2) Hula hooping

3) How pretty is she?

4) Goof Balls

5) That is a Monkey Butt....Sorry I was not fast enough to get it walking by her.

When all you can do is pray....

We received some sad news today, our friends lost their unborn baby. She was over 7 months along and so happy to be having a girl. Brian got a e-mail from the "Team Leader" this afternoon that the family was requesting some private time to deal with this. I am at a lost what to do since I have never had a friend go thru this........I am hoping once this weekend is over someone will let us know. On other news half of our garage is filled with yard sale stuff......very overwhelming......plus we have tons of clothes and I have no clue how I will display them......sadly its looking like boxes. We have our dates for packers, movers and home inspections.......way its looking we will be in hotels for over a week maybe more if we can't do a point to point move. It Su*$% if you can not because they will take your stuff off the truck in GA and put it in storage until another truck can come get it ....ugh please no????? Tomorrow is the post yard sale....Kael and Maddie are going with me around 9ish.

Beautiful day for a trip to the Zoo

So we made it to the Zoo......and surprise Sage loved it, esp the monkey's. Kael and Maddie have never been "into" the zoo so it was a nice surprise to actually have a good time. So back to the real world tomorrow.....lawn mowing, grocery shopping and trying to get motivated to start getting ready for my May 1st yard sale.
Next Saturday is the Post Wide Yard Sale......Waaaaa Hooooooo......hoping to find some good deals.......Mon and Weds is swim lessons, Tues is Therapy for Kael and Weds is our 7th Wedd Anniversary ......which I never remember so I gave him the card last week cause I knew it was sometime around the middle of April ...yes my memory is that bad.
This pic is from a play date we had the Thursday before Easter with our friend's

Maddie's school Easter Egg hunt.......it was steamy that day......all chocolate in those eggs was liquid by the time we were done.

Y'all have a great weekend.

Professional Portraits

So in case you missed it I hit another vehicle this week.....you know the vehicle that we will pay off next month.....you know my Mom van.....ugh. I have been kicking myself all friggin week .....I did not do any damage to SUV I hit ......just my bumper. I pulled in to the parking space and that is when I saw there was a cart half in the space ( Look lazy people put the D*** cart where it goes....don't just push it up on the curb ....) so I knew I could not fit in there between 2 cars so I backed out and did not cut the wheel sharp enough and screeeeeeeeeeeeech . Thank God she was nice and just said forget about it..........I felt sooooooooo bad......she is a foster mom to 4 kids 2 who have special needs ( 8 month old on a feeding tube and 12 month old who has fetal alcohol ) plus has 3 of her own and a foreign exchange student......OMG the guilt.
So do you think Hubby has said a thing?????? Nooooooooooo.....if he had done it I would still be riding his butt.....he would never be able to forget it but him no, not a word.....he even waited 4 days for me to finally give all the details............yes I realize I am evil....bwhahaaaaaaaa. The house is 95% done.......I am so ready to move. Sadly we have friends who still have not found a home and there are lots here who don't have orders yet.....ouch.
Tomorrow we are going to the Zoo ( hopefully) and then moving Maddie back to her room ( she can not deal with Sage she says ) I don't know what we will do about bedrooms in GA now. Night all

What in the world?

Sage's Easter hiding eggs "talked" Yoo Hoo over here
Easter Bunny fun.....
Kael was Blue, Maddie was pink and Sage was purple


I am still sick......whatever it is is kicking my butt. Took Sage to the Dr Thurs and they said bronchitis for her plus she was a little dehydrated...poor kid. But she seems better as of today....Kael and Maddie still cough. Did not do the yard sale so we are looking at May 1st ......The house is coming along....got some new pictures today and the carpet and wood floors are down....only thing we could tell had not been done was bringing in some appliances. Kael went to the dentist Friday and there is a cavity in a back baby molar so we will fill it the end of the month. Wanted to post some Easter pics before bed so good night and have a great week.
