Last Few Tid Bits.....

The minute I knew my TA was here my emotions changed dramatically. My nights have been sleepless, I've lost quite a bit of weight and my days filled with tears, fears and to do lists. So many things happening in my life and here at home all at once that at times if feels a bit overwhelming. However, I have something special in this little pink box. In fact it is so cool, that it gives me lips like Angelina Jolie-Pitt. To bad that my lips can't even fully cover it and it is something that I thankfully don't have to wear 24/7. (perhaps I need to get more lip plumper) Although, for what I had to pay for it, I bet a botox lip injection would have cost the same. And as far as the pain.......the excruciating pain that hit my upper back jaw on Sunday evening that radiated all the way down to my front tooth and up through my sinuses, that caused me to go in search of the extra vicodin I left let over from my wisdom teeth being pulled out was enough to push me right over the edge and be at the dentist on Monday, the specialist on Tuesday and back to my dentist on Wednesday. The conclusion to my intense facial pain......stress. Imagine that....Steffie stressed?????????.....never! lol

The pink box. Inside this box is the magic

to create Angelina Jolie-Pitt lips. Every girls dream. lol

Oh yes......my own personal mouth guard to keep my teeth from clenching.....

DURING THE DAY MIND YOU......and to try and help get my jaw to fall

back into place since it seems to be tilting to the left. Or so the dentist says.

Lovely....just lovely! "Wear this on your long flight" she tells me.

I can see my self now.......drugged out on my Tylenol PM to help

me get through the flight from Chicago to Beijing......drool coming out

of my mouth and running down my chin and as I sleep,

people passing by me as they pace up and down trying to

stretch their legs......lovely....just lovely.

Of course the boy decides NOW that he wants to start going stinkies on the potty.

Can he not wait for another 3 weeks? Does he not realize that

he does not have to strip down completely naked in

order to do so? Does he not realize that NO ONE ELSE in the

house does this? Does he not realize that Mommy just doesn't have time

allow him to run around without hardly any clothes on right now to accomplish this task?

Not to mention that it is freezing outside again? ~sigh~

Yep...here he is in all his glory.....happy as can be.....fully naked on the potty.

What the dilly is up with that? He doesn't get this from me that's for sure! lol

And yes....there would be 3 step stools on the floor......one for each Thing. ;)

This will be their bathroom.

Yes, our Maui trip was put on hold. However, we were able to get all of our

tickets and one for Andrew on another flight and we

will all be going in June when school is out.

What a glorious time that will be. THAT.......will be a wonderful bonding

time for the children. My last dream come true is home with us..... and

we all get to go to paradise together. Heavenly! ;)

The white dresses and white polo's have been purchased. Finally,

I will get those pictures

I have been dreaming about for the last 4 years. ~sigh~

Hopefully all the rest of the pieces of my life will fall into place too.

And at the last minute I decided to pick up one of these little gadgets too. ;) Along with a snazzy little DVD player that is suppose to have a 13 hour battery life. (David already had one) I figured Em and I could watch chick flicks for "some" of the flight! lol
