Long summer
It's been forever since I updated this. April!!! I can't believe it! The spring/summer was quite busy. Bella played softball and their team won 1st place (Go Boss' Chicken & Pizza!), Mia got sick w/ Rotavirus the beginning of May and was hospitalized, we spent a lot of time outside and at the pools, Mia's bday was in June (2!), then in July it was Aiden's bday (4!) and we found a house and moved in at the beginning of August! It's soooo good to get out of the townhouse dwelling. UGH on the fucking drama mama drama.
So, now here we are in October and it has snowed already. Today was a super nice day, though, in the sixties and totally FALL. Loved it. I'm in my final semester of classes and next is my externship. I am so excited to graduate. I am going to attempt to get into the Nursing program at the University Center. Although, it is quite competative, we will see. A small break might be good though. I have a massive emotional breakdown every few weeks and seem to be on auto-pilot regarding life for a week or so. Then I magically snap out of it.
Bella started a new school and although we had some issues in the beginning, I believe we have them all smoothed out. She turns 9 years old on Wednesday, Oct 21st. I can't even think about the fact that I have been blessed by her for 9 years. She is a remarkable little girl with such a sweet heart. She is starting Cheer this week. We have to do something that will carry her into next softball season and she is genuinely excited. She is so smart and in the accelerated reading group at school. My little super reader! Loves to read like her mama.
Aiden started preschool, half days 4 days a week. He is doing excellent and learning his colors. FINALLY. The boy has such an superb memory but colors?!? Forget it. Anyway, doing much better. He is such a sweet, sweet boy. I can't believe how I was bummed out when I found out I was having a boy when I was pregnant with him. Yeah, I admit it - I cried! I had Bella, this awesome little girl for 4 years - all to myself. Well, 90% to myself (different story all in itself). But, all I can say about boys now is WOW. Mother ucking WOW. They are the most amazing little beings. So dependent on their mama's. His imagination is budding so well and it's a blast watching him and hearing what comes out of his mouth.
Mia Pia is my busy little ladybug. Busy is probably an understatement. The girl goes and goes until she literally passes out from exhaustion. She is relentlessly stubborn and will pick fights with Aiden like a bully in an alley. Smart as hell too. I love to just observe her and watch what she does b/c you can almost see the planning going on behind those big dark eyes. She wears me out with fits, screaming, and into everything. She is my fighter but I think she needed that instict to survive those first few weeks of life. Just stayed with her and that is A-OK with me. She goes potty on the toilet almost at least once daily but has no interest in keeping that into her daily routine. LOL. I think I will be sad to not see a cute cloth diaper on her booty when she does potty train. I shouldn't say "train", more like potty "leads". I am not pushing her at all.
Brennan is going to be 1 on Friday. =*) Where did this year go????? He is learning to walk and is doing dang well. Can usually cover half a room. He is working on saying Mama, says "kkkk" for kitty, "hiiiii" and waves his arms, loooooves to cuddle and give kisses to all. His smile will melt the hardest of hearts. He is still breastfeeding strongly and likes table food but his love of my boob trumps all.
That's my *little* update lol.
Night all!

ABC story about ME!!
Since this was a hit on Facebook - thought I would share it here....
ABC story about ME!!
Aubri is my middle name and
Brianna is my first.
Christopher was my first husband who gave me two beautiful children.
Douglas is my man now, who gave me two more.
Even though we are not yet married,
Forever isn’t an option, it just is.
Gone is a life of verbal and physical abuse and our
Home is now stable and loving.
I never thought my life would be so full of love and laughter.
Jumping back into school feet first was the latest step to a better me.
Keeping up with school, kids, appointments, and activities can be hard but such is
Life at this point in my journey.
Medical Assisting is what I am going to school for and I would love to work in the
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit or
OB Labor and Delivery ward at a hospital. My
Premature daughter inspired me to go back to school in the medical field. The last 2
Quarters I have been on the Dean’s List and that makes me proud of myself. I am
Reminded every day as to why I am putting myself through so much
Stress, it is to make an improved life for my family.
Together we make everything work in an organized, chaotic way. I believe the
Universe has plans for us all; it just takes a little time for each of us to find our own
Virtuous paths to travel. I still
Wonder if I am on the correct course. I could work in the medical office using the
Xerox machine or use my skills in the clinical field caring for babies in a
Yellow nursery. Either way, I know I will find my
Zone.

Forever and a day...
...to update! Not a lot going on. Finished Winter Semester at school and Spring Semester starts up next Monday. GD, can I fucking get more than a 2 week break?!?!?! I so need a break!!!! The fam and I went to MOA and did Nickelodeon Universe and the Underwater Aquarium. That was pretty much stuck in hell with heathens. Seriously, love my kids to death but wow, never taking them there again until Brennan is past Mia's age...unless he decides to not take after her ferocious behavior. We would have been fine, if not for Mia Pia. She runs the show - always - and she was in fine form that weekend! LOL My goodness I love that child but she is a full time job! Bella had a play at school last month. It was called Wackadoo Zoo. Basically, zoo animals that have the wrong "sound"...goat that barks, pigs that moo, etc. It was cute, and this poor little boy started feeling sick and had to go sit down with his parents in the audience. I felt bad for him. Probably nervous as all heck with lots of people there. Bella did excellent. She has fabulous rhythm and looked like the best performer. =) Kept making gestures for her Auntie to take her picture @@ - hello D I V A. Not much else to report, my birthday came and went without incidence. I survived it. I'm 30. HOLLA!

Margarita's and Xanax - Lunch anyone?
I have to say this: the days leading up to my 30th birthday have not been fun. Ok, I HATE change. Cried on my 18th birthday! WHAT?!?!? I don't want to grow up. End of story. But, apparently time is against me so here we are, on the eve of my 30th. I type in the dark, next to my two sleeping beautiful boys, listening to Matthew Sweet's Farther Down, and feeling like Daisy Depression has me wrapped around her finger. I wonder when it was that I lost myself and became this fiercely devoted mama who feels like I have no self worth, except at raising my children and even that is a far stretch in my imagination that I'm not doing it right. I have 4 beautiful babies, how in the hell did I get that lucky? Did the stars align just for that moment of luck? I've never been lucky?!?! Lucky is not being beat by an ex, lucky is not snorting so many drugs that my sinuses surely aren't all intact. Lucky IS finding someone who feels like my partner on this team, lucky is having healthy (for the most part, nothing major) children...why do I feel like I'm lacking in life? I know I'm not exactly where I want to be...I know my romantic relationship is nil at the moment (where the FUCK did THAT go?!) and I feel like I am geared in neutral and just being pushed along through the car wash, while everyone works on the exterior and the interior gets slighted. I'm here..in this world...but I'm lost. Yes, I am lost right now.
:::farther down i'm desperate for you...something...something takes my pain away....
P.S. I'm getting my tarot cards read tomorrow. I might have to update how that goes.

Been a minute.
Lots been going on here at the Sickie McSickerson's. Bella had strep, Mia had strep and RSV - which of course sucked. But, then lil baby Brennan was struck by the germs from germ girls. He was hospitalized with RSV and ear infection, released on Saturday only to be diagnosed with Pneumonia on Sunday. After a switch in medications (Rocephin shots for a couple days) he seems to be in good spirits. Still has an icky cough and not nursing well. I have heard somewhere or been told that a baby gets the majority of his milk in the first 5 minutes he nurses...sooo I am thinking he will be ok. He lets my milk release and gulps it down for a good couple minutes then it's pull and tug and let go, pull and tug and let go. He's a big boy now. 11lbs 2 oz!!!! YAY!!!
