Everytime Elijah rolls over from his back to his stomach, he screams, because he hates being on his stomach. I have been in there four times already as he’s playing because he suddenly starts screaming until I turn him over. He won’t let me hold him either, lol, he just wants to lay on his back on the floor and play. So now he’s in his crib and I think he just rolled back over, but this time I’ve decided to let him go for a bit longer and try to get back himself. He’ll never learn to crawl at this rate if I don’t… :P
Anyway…

Yeah it’s time for another flashback….
The other night I was thinking about Skillet, and if you read here, you already know that. Anyway, it got me thinking about Hardee’s…! Yes, Hardee’s lol.
For those of you who haven’t known me long enough, I worked at Hardee’s for almost two and a half years. I hate that place, but it’s actually where I’ve met some really good friends.
We used to do some crazy things…
I remember when I first started… I was hired by a guy named T, he was gay, so I was the only nightshift girl at the time. Well, maybe that’s not the reason, but I was the only girl on nightshift.

Yes, today I discovered that there is a hole in my potholder. Owwie.
In other news… The Rimshot is licking my foot, go away dog!!!
Um… Elijah is down for the night… crabby baby tonight… Crabby husband is down, too…
My orders from that place still aren’t in… I’m getting annoyed. My mother-in-law’s gift was supposed to be in there and ready to ship yesterday. As of yesterday they removed the date and it still says backorder. Two sets of ornaments say shipped on the 9th, but I have yet to see these. Four other sets say ready to ship, and have for the last three days at least. So Yes, I am highly annoyed with them. Tomorrow while they’re open I will probably call them unless I see a change on my order status page first.
Hey, dog, who invited you into my lap? I don’t have any food!
Anyway… Lemme think a while, I might post a flashback…
Went to the homeschool Christmas party tonight. Just got home about 40 minutes ago! Well, let’s make that, “Just got home around 12:20am.” Hehe. I’m going to have to edit the time on this thing again, since now it is actually after 1am. It really bugs me to have the entry on the wrong day, because to me, it’s still Monday, even though it’s Tuesday. :-)
Well I went out there, wasn’t going to take Elijah, but Steve ended up doing like three hours overtime, so I had to take him with me. He stayed with my dad and sister though. Gina’s biggest complaint was that he spit up all over his shirt and I forgot to pack another one. Since I wasn’t planning on taking him, and I didn’t hear from Steve until a half an hour before I had to leave, I totally wasn’t prepared. So I had to rush around to get ready. But I had a good time there tonight….
Got home and was giving Elijah his bottle in bed, so that if he fell asleep I wouldn’t have to move him, and he pushed it away and then laid there turning his head back and forth. I think by now he’s actually put himself to sleep.
This morning Steve was running late for work and he was rushing around and he accidentally woke Elijah up - man, I don’t think I’ve ever heard that kid scream like that, he was so totally pissed off!
Um… Added a new member to the youth blog a few minutes ago. I hope that thing gets going, I think it will be really cool. But so far the only two entries are mine. Blah.
Anyway… got a domain name for sale… I put it on Ebay. It’s the one I mentioned earlier that I’d bought - well, I decided that I really don’t need it. It’s diakonos-theos.com. I wanted just diakonos, but it was taken. Oh well. I’m really itching to add a third domain to my account for some reason though, lol. I offered it to Sheila, she can get her own domain name and I’d host her, give her a bit of space for free, what more can you ask? But I don’t know if she’s going to take it or not. Dunno why I want to do this, I mean I should prolly keep my space for all the pictures I put up! lol oh well.
Okay, so now I have the newest Skillet cd Collide - well, actually it came in last week, hehe. But now I need Alien Youth, which was the last cd. I have all the others. The first two, Skillet and Hey, You, I Love Your Soul are autographed, even. Invincible might be autographed, I’m not sure. Anyway, I really like Skillet… :-)
I remember when I first heard of them… Jeremy told me this band was playing at his church, would I like to come? It was a while away yet, and I was joining this cd club, so for one of my free selections, I picked Skillet, their only cd out at the time, I believe. Honestly, at first I didn’t like them, but after listening to the cd a couple of times, they grew on me, and now are one of my favorites. So I went to the concert and they signed my cd. Then there was another concert later not long after Hey, You, I Love Your Soul came out, they signed that cd for me too. Of course, that was in the days when there were three members: John, Trey, and Ken. Now there are four: John, Korey (his wife, joined with Invincible), Ben (Invincible), and Lori (Alien Youth). Yeah, it’s not typical for a band to lose two out of three founding members and still survive, get bigger, in fact. I guess it’s ’cause they weren’t that big back then. But I remember Ken and Trey… Ken was the shyest person I think I’ve ever met. Trey was really outgoing. Hehe.
Anyway enough blabbing about Skillet… except all this reminiscing has got me making a page… it’ll be [address removed] - you can go see some pictures of my high school days hehe.
What else is new? Elijah slept for 8 hours again last night, like he did Friday night. It’s good, but by the time the end of it rolls around it’s scary, because it’s like, “Is he breathing down there?” And if you notice the time of post… Elijah’s been in bed for a little bit, it’s early for him!!
Um, we didn’t go to church today - we are trying to keep E from getting the flu. It’s crazy this year, as I’m sure you know. There are two local schools that are closed because of it, even. So we don’t need a lot of people touching him in the nursery, or him being around other kids. At least until this dies out.
We still didn’t get any Christmas shopping done this week. Which really sucks, because the family gatherings start in a week, less than a week actually.
And those ornaments and stuff I ordered for my aunts and uncles… still on back order, well those that haven’t been cancelled. I am so mad. But I have to stick with it because I don’t know what else to do.
I’ve also got an order on Ebay that I paid for by PayPal on the 4th and I don’t think they’ve shipped it yet. They have a high feedback rating and their emails said that if you pay by credit card that they will probably ship the same day or next day. It’s been over a week. I emailed them but no response yet. Grrrr.
Anyway…
Yeah, so I think it’s Tuesday…. lol, sometimes the days just run together.
This is going to be a boring week, I guess.
I am getting nervous about Christmas. I hate, first of all, that Christmas is so commercialized, but what are you gonna do?
I’m getting nervous because we are behind in our shopping, more so than usual at this time.
The only ones we have done are Sheila, Elizabeth, my Dad, Sarah, and Steve’s mom (if her thing ever comes in, it’s on backorder grrr). And I am still wanting to get Sheila another something else, to make up for the fact that she already knows what she’s getting, lol. As for everyone else, we have decided what to get C and J, but G, M, R, my mom, Grandpa & V., Grandma H., M2, and Steve’s dad are all mysteries. We know what we want to get Grandma F., but we can’t find it anywhere.
So obviously, I put a lot of thought into all of this. I guess that’s what counts.
So let’s see…..
Sunday I ended up staying home in the morning. Elijah kept waking up all night and finally around 3:30am when I couldn’t get him to sleep, I just left him. I was so tired that I was falling asleep standing next to his crib. I went upstairs and turned the baby monitor off, but I could still hear him screaming. I know that sounds horrible, but I didn’t know what else to do. I didn’t think I’d fall asleep. I’ve NEVER fallen asleep while he’s been awake before, let alone screaming or crying. But I did, and I guess he did too, because about 3 or 3.5 hours later I woke up to him starting to cry. And I thought, “how did the baby monitor get back on?” Apparently, Steve told me in the middle of the night to turn it on and I did - I totally don’t remember that. So then I got him and brought him upstairs with us and fed him and we fell asleep again. But not before I reset my alarm from 7:10 to 7:45. Cause if I got up at 7:45 it was still enough time to get ready for and go to Sunday School. The alarm never went off. And I don’t mean it went off and I hit sleep on it because later when I looked at it, it was still set, and I had been sleeping with my back to it, I awoke in the same position I fell asleep in. Stupid alarm clock. So we woke up at like 9:50 and so Steve went to church without me, because there was NO WAY I could get a shower and get the baby ready and myself and feed the baby and get there in time. Plus, I had been sleeping on a pillow I don’t usually use, and my neck and shoulders hurt so bad I could hardly move. I had taken my two feather pillows (well actually one is Steve’s but I stole it when E was born and he hasn’t gotten it back yet, he doesn’t use it anyway lol) and put them in my “travel pillowcase” (the spongebob one I made - was too big for one, but fits the two perfectly) for the church thing the other night. When we got home, it was brought in and set on the couch. Later, I didn’t want The Rimshot laying on it so I put it on the rocking chair in E’s room. When I went to bed, I noticed it was gone and I was not about to go in his room to get it, risk waking him up. So I was screwed. Yeah, I know how to make a short story a long one, don’t I?
Well then Sunday night we went to pick up Elijah’s photos - and they turned out great. Only this time I was a little dissapointed because last time they gave me the extra prints (the 3.5X5’s, two each, of all poses) and this time they wanted $20 for them, and a free mat. I want to get them though, so I might buy them later, she said they’d prolly keep them till January sometime. We’re just a little extra broke this week because we paid mortgage. We’re always broke after the mortgage payment. :-)
Today is Monday, well now it is Tuesday, but I’ll edit the date on this thing to make sure it goes on the right day, because to me it’s still Monday! Although, all day I kept thinking it was Tuesday, grrr.
I didn’t get anything done today - not due to taking care of Elijah and trying to get a fire going and keep it going - it’s cold today! I learned that our furnace is not hooked up at all anymore. So if there’s no fire, we’re screwed.
Anyway, gotta go check that stupid fire again and get to bed, I’m beat.
Yes, Elijah was up to 4.30am last night (this morning)… well, we all were mostly.
I stayed the night at church as a chap with Karen for the girls and Elijah would just not go to sleep. Not that he was crabby the whole time, but just wide awake. So I am beat, needless to say. I am hoping that he continues to sleep on tonight, through the night.
But I guess we are done breastfeeding finally lol. This morning was the 2nd morning in a row he’s refused me. He started this just out of the blue. I guess he’s decided it’s all bottle now. No skin off my back.
We got our pictures taken today too. And as I thought about it. I didn’t like that girl much afterall. She did the same pose on us three times in an attempt to hurry up and it wasn’t even that great of a pose. I’m sure it looks great for some people, but I don’t think on us. But I ordered one of that nonetheless. Steve didn’t like any of the others, either. But I did order two of the other only two other poses she did. Elijah was screaming in the last one.
Oh well.
Anyway, I hafta log outta this name and onto another to check something on the new church blog… :)
