Happy Halloween!!

I'm sure that you are all out buying candy, making your costume, or trick-or-treating. I'm going insane without my camera. My wine bottle deposit fund has $32 in it. Not enough for a camera, I'm afraid. I'll have to figure something out before we go to see Mr. J in Colorado.

Looks like tree-chopping is in Randy's future. It's windy as all get-out, and I can already see at least two trees laying across the driveway. Ginger is inspecting for squirrels.....out of concern and compassion, for sure.
We figured out why the cats have been driving me insane with their food-begging for the past month. It seems that the battery was dead on Sasha's kitty-kat door....the one that lets her into her food. Soooooooo, she has been eating Princess' food. Then, both Sasha and Princess would harass me all day and ALL NIGHT because they were hungry!!! Not fun. Now, I have to re-train Sasha to use her cat door.
Next life, no pets.

wiediger medical update

The Dr thinks Craig may have Lymes disease...why the other 2 doctor's didn't think of that when they saw the enormous bullseye rash we'll never know.

He had a bunch of bloodwork done for Lymes and a couple of other tick borne illnesses. Also had an EKG and the ticker looks great. He started an antibiotic for Lymes and should feel better in 36 hours...if it is Lymes. We hope they caught it in time and I hope he starts to feel better soon. It's hard to see him so tired all the time.

Mason is sleeping at my parents tonight. We thought Craig was going to be admitted, so they took Mason. I called to say "goodnight" and the first thing he said was "What time do I go to bed?" and he was all revved up. Had a dilly bar with Nana and Pop after 7:00pm....they will all be up until at least 10:00 now. He told Nana he "always goes to bed at 10:30". He was sooooo excited to go. He loves his Nana and Pop!

Mason's room is all back together now. And he loves it and so do I!! His curtains and comforter go well with the color. Of course last night he was cranky and overly tired and said "I want a yellow room not a green room". It will be nice to have him back in his room.

How did they do it during the "Little House on the Praire "days? Living in one room homes or 2 room homes? God knew what He was doing by letting me be around in the 20 th and 21st Century. Caroline I am not!!!

At the grocery store they had some scary witch figures out..the kind with the really wrinkled faces (look like the dried apples) and Mason said if he ever saw one in real life he would "cut it's head off". Ahhh, I didn't know what to say to that one, so I changed the subject. But then, the empathetic and compassionate side of him came out and he said "Mom, those people shouldn't use those decorations. A baby might see it and be scared and have nightmares." He is always thinking of others who are younger than him. My little sweetie.

While we were working on his costume yesterday he said "Mom! What if a 2 year old takes these glasses off of my face?!?!" He isn't too thrilled with 2 year olds!! We had a couple in the house this summer who were very confident, adventurous, and physically bossy, so he is always scheming against the 2 year olds. Any important "document" or "artifact" has to go up high or in a secret place so a "2 year old doesn't get it". We'll see what happens when his brother is 2 years old.

Mason is also into jokes right now. It is so fun. And he is into the gag jokes. He has this gag that looks like a spilled shake and he has had so much fun with it. What a hoot!!

Must be having a hormonal minute because I want to go on and on about how much I love the little guy and just how incredible he is. I get worried about the baby coming sometimes, because I will miss all this alone time with Mason, and I worry that I won't be able to love the new little guy as much as I love Mason...because that seems almost impossible..even though friends reassure me it isn't. Well, this is getting sappy. I'll journal the rest here at home.

Move baby move

OK, although the baby to the left of this post probably looks like the child I am carrying, I am wondering why the virtual baby is not kicking, or punching, or wiggling, or pinching, etc...How I wish this little guy was just floating serenely (spelling?) around with an occasional "bump" into the walls. Of course I am reassured by the baby's movements...but you moms out there know what I mean :)

Ok, enough for tonight.
(I decided to break up the posts instead of having one incredibly long boring one. This way you get the ramblings and incoherent stories in short bursts.)

I LOVE this blogging thing. I feel like I have a captive audience and I can go on and on and on and on and on without having to stop...even if no-one is reading this.
