NEW BLOG
Hello to everyone!!!

I have decided to start using my other blog instead of this one. One simple reason....I can do more cute things with the other one. So if you would like to know what goes on in this crazy house, go to www.myspace.com/charlene28 I am going to keep this site up for now until I decide if I am going to keep myspace.com


but anyway... see you on the other blog!
P-Outter!!!!!

Yea I know it's been a while, but with Leland and Christmas on the way, I never have time to be online. We almost have our shopping done. We need to get a few more gifts for family and a few for the kids, but everything is going pretty smooth.

We are going to have christmas dinner here this year. It will be nice to have everyone come here for a change so we dont have to load up all the gifts for the kids in our little car. We still have to go to Donalds mom's Christmas eve, so that should be a fun car ride home.

It will be funny having Donald and Paul in the same house when the Packers play. I can't wait to see how much shit talking goes on. In all, it should be a fun day. I can't wait for it!

Incase I dont have time to get back online, Merry Christmas to all my family and friends!!!!!!!

And get REALLY DRUNK on NewYears!!!!!! (take a cab)

Leland is driving me crazy! He is having one of those days where he has no clue what he wants. Actually thats not true...all he wants to do is EAT!!! I don't get it.

Speaking of eating, I cant wait till tomorrow! I plan on gaining about 20 pounds lol!

We have to go to my mom's first, then we are going to Donald's parents. I think I am going to see if Lela will keep Starr tomorrow night so I can hit a few of the sales in the morning. I just don't want Starr to see what I am getting, plus I don't want to kill a bitch for knocking my kid out of the way so they can get a George Forman grill. :)

I think I might hit Kohl's and Target. I'm not even going to step in Meijer or Wal-Mart! You need a gun on hand to go to those places.

Well, I have to get ready to go to the dentist to get my stitches out, so P Outter!

Sunday Morning-Christmas List
Topic: Day after day
Yesterday we went and got Starr a couple things for Christmas. We got her the Madagascar movie, and the Puppy Surprise she wanted. We were going to wait till next week to get her the puppy she wanted, but we found the yellow one at Target, and that has been the only place we have found the yellow one at.

I figured I would put a few of the toys Starr picked out on here in case anyone wants to get them;

Aqua Doodle $19.95
My Little Pony- Good Morning Sunshine Doll $24.99
Crayola Magnetic Double Easel $29.99
(These are all Toy's R Us prices, so I'm sure you can find them other places cheaper.)

Donald's mom got her The Cinderella movie. I think this year is going to be all about Princess stuff. This year I think I am going to make her birthday party princess too, and actually get her a princess dress to wear. I know she will love that.

Leland is doing great. Yesterday one of my friends was at our house, and we got Leland to smile and do a little giggle type sound. It was so cute! He is getting so big already. It makes me look at Starr and go, when did you learn to talk?? It seems like one day she is repeating everything we say, and the next day she says words I didn't even know she knew.
Kids are so crazy!

Well, I must go, Donald is making breakfast WOO HOO!!!

Not too much going on!
We sat down the other night and made out
Starr's list to Santa. We went to toy's r us and go the big toy book, and she picked out some stuff she wanted. That was fun!! lol She wanted at least two things on every page, and she even wanted a few things she already has.

The good thing is that she didnt really pick anything over $30.00.

I still have to decided what to get Leland. We might get him a few toys and save them for when he gets a little older.

I just cant believe Thanksgiving is a little over a week away. Thats crazy!!!

God is it Saturday yet???

I get so bored at the end of the week. I guess it's because I can only handle so much Martha Stewart and The Price is Right durring the week.

Yeah I know, my life is so hard LOL but hey, everyone has to bitch about one thing or another.

I went to the store at 8:30 this morning. I had to get formula before Donald went to work. If I had taken the kids I wouldn'd have been able to pick up any food. I just dont trust Starr walking beside me in a store. I could have put her in the basket of the cart, but I dont think she wouuld have liked 2 24 packs on her lap! :) I think I am going to try to avoid taking them both to the store when Donalds not with us.
God help me!!!

Did anyone watch Trading Spouses last night? Good god, that bitch is crazy. If you didnt watch it, watch part two next week. Thats when she really goes nuts!

Anyway, Starr is doing good. She is losing a little interest in her brother now, which is good because she was always up in my face when I had him. She is still my little helper, so now I have the best of both worlds. She has been asking me to call her maw maw for the past few days. I think I am going to call Lela and see if she would like Starr to come down for a few days. I think Starr would like that. Plus she better get her Kentucky time in before the weather gets bad because I'm NOT driving down there in the snow.

Leland is doing great. He is getting so big already. God, soon enough he will be crawling...or he could be like Starr and roll everywhere.

I have no clue what to get him for christmas. He really wont be ready for toys, but then again I would rather get him a few toys now so he will have them when he is ready. And then there is always clothes.

Speaking of toys, I am going to have to toss out some of the stuff that Starr has. She has a bunch of stuffed animals that could be thrown away. I think I cursed myself when I was younger. I always had a bunch of toys that would drive mom nuts, now I am going through the same thing. (sorry mom LOL)

Oh yea, Starr's new thing is to ask you what time it is. It's funny because I actually look at the clock and tell her what time it is, then she repeats what I say.
Then today she wanted to watch a dvd in our room (since her's is broke) and she was talking about Donald's computer, but she calls it a competer. She trys so hard to say computer. She said it once and was so proud of herself, but she has yet to say it again.

Well, I guess it's time to clean. (Did I really say that???)

I'm sleepy!!!!!
Sorry Paul, Donald made me do it! He even told me what to type. LOL

Things are going well here. I need some freaking sleep, but I'm still up and going. Trick Or Treat was great. We had a good time. We took the kids around the park. My friend Kristy came. She brought her little boy,(such a cutie) and one of her friends with her. It was nice to get to hang out for a little bit since we never get to see each other.

Starr had a good time. She got a bunch of candy, and now she drives me crazy because she wants to eat it all day. She's mad because we only let her have one piece after lunch, and one after dinner.

I hate all that candy being in the house. I am trying to take off a bunch of the weight I have gained in the past 3 years. I have lost 23 lbs since I had Leland. I am already 10 lbs lighter than I was before I got pregnant. If I could just give up the pop I would be doing even better.

Well, the little one is waking up from one of his many day time naps. Hope to be back on soon!

The Bengals victory party went really well!!!

Everyone that came had the best time. Drinking, Eating, and talking about the Bengals win over the Green Bay Packers!!! My brother was not there due to his ass being so sore from the pounding. We sure did miss him!

We may have to contact someone to help throw a game so the packers can at least win two games this season.


ANYWAY....

The baby is doing great. He is still having a hard time sleeping at night though. He thinks every night at 1:00 am is party time!

We tried on Starr's Rainbow Bright costume today. It fits better than it did last year. So thats what she is going to be this year.
Donald carved our pumpkin tonight. He put a great big B on it(for Bengals) and gave it tiger stripes.

Well, thats all for now.

Leland Cole was born on October 15, at 8:04 am. He weighed 8 pounds 12 oz. 21.25 inches

I have to type all of this quick because he is waking up from his nap.

Anyway,
I went to the doctor on Friday because I was having contractions. When I got there they said it was false labor. So we went home, but after a while the contractions got bad. So bad I was crying. I called the doctor and they told me to go to the hospital. When I got there they said it was still false labor, but they said I could stay and walk for 2 hours to see if anything changes...so 3 hours of walking later I went from 1 cm to 3 cm's. So they got me a room. About 3 hours later they checked me and I was 6 cm's! I was like, woo hoo Epidural!!!!! (I was in so much freaking pain!!!!)

At about 7:00 my water broke and I called my family so they could be at the hospital. Soon after they got there, my doctor did too and we were ready to push. It was great because I only had to push 4 times before he came out! With Starr it took a hell of a lot longer!

Anyway, he's doing great. He went to the doctor last week, and they said he looks good. He has an appointment on Friday to check his weight (thats normal)

His cord fell off on Sunday. He has been sleeping well, except now he sleeps great during the day, but at night he wants us to hold him while he sleeps. So we are working on that.

Anyway, he's waking from his nap so I have to go....more to come soon. I never have time to get on the Internet!!!
