OMG!
I read this on Heather's blog and thought I'd share it with you guys! Can you believe this happened! Poor Heather!
Scams....
That's right...nothing infuriates me more..than to be scamed, lied to, have to wool pulled over on me!it all started like this....I had just left winn-dixie and was going out of the parking lot. Outta know where this lady jumps out in front of my car pleading for me to stop...like I had a choice or something. She asked for some money...(like I thought she would) and I told her I couldn't b/c I didn't have any cash on me...but that if she needed me too I could go and get her something to eat...she said she hadn't eaten in 3 days...she declined the offer for a free meal, but told me she was on her period and was more interested in a box of tampons....I thought sure I can do that, and I can get her something to eat at the deli they have there! well, we go in and I tell her she can get whatever she normally gets and she grabs the 10:00 box of the playtex kind...I thought to myself if it were me I'd have grabbed the cheap ones..but who cares...then she walked over to the ciggarette counter and asked if she could have a pack...I was like I'm not really going to buy those for you....I was trying not to make a scene, since we were in the middle of the store..but she didn't listen to me i guess, and threw them on the counter...I asked if she wanted anything from the deli..and she said she couldn't have sweets??? anyway...I was going to write a check and she asked if i could write it for 10 over...and I did...like a dummy! I thought she would use it for food...stupid I know! Then before I left...the manager asked for me to stay that she needed to ask me something about my check...so I told the lady good bye...she hugged me and told me god bless and off she went. The manager asked if I had the reciept and told me that she had been doing this all day...having people buy her tampons and a pack of ciggaretts and then she'd come in later to try to return them and get the money! I was like oh well, I've beenhad! so I left and noticed her sitting by the wall a ways down from the door....so I got in my car and decided to pretend like I was leaving...and wouldn't you know she waited for me to leave and went in and tried to return them!!!!!!! so I went back into the store cuse I was going to catch her red handed!! She notices me and bolts down a nearby isle.... I walk in and the manager takes me off to the side and said he called the sherriff and he says he wouldn't refund the purchase b/c she didn't have the reciept. I hung around for a minute or two wanting to see if I could get the stuff back so I could return it...i had the reciept.... and then I felt this warm sensation down my neck..it was her right up next to me telling me she needed a bus ticket out. Well the manager ended up escorting her out of the store...and she yelled that she'd be waiting on me outside for a ride to the bus station....she had the nerve to tell me what I was going to do? I thought I was just out the 21 dollars...the manager escorted me out..b/c I didn't want to deal w/ the lady and he apologized took my name and number and said the sherriff would be in touch if they needed anything! so I left and on my way out I noticed her talking to the sherriff...I thought to myself at least she's going to get into trouble....and then I got mad..because I felt taken atvantage of...so I whipped the car around and walked up to the sherriff...told her what happend and after a couple more lies I got the tampons, ciggaretts, and the 10 dollars back from her....went into the store and returned all of it! The sherriff said the lady was a regular narcotics user and this was her scam! It felt good to catch her.....but I wonder if there really are people out there that really do need help!

Guess who I talked to this morning?????
All the way from TURKEY
Give up????
It was AUNT AMY!!!!!!!!
Yep... I knew when I heard her voice that it was her but i told myself it couldn't be b/c its not cheap to call and normally you wouldn't be able to hear her very well but I was hearing her fine. So of course once confirmed it was indeed Amy, I asked if she was still in Turkey! Some people she's met over there just got a new internet phone and told her she could make some phone calls... I feel honored that I was on her list!
She sounded great! It was nice to hear her voice. I told her about the boys and she told me about her boys JUST KIDDING! I did ask about if she'd met anyone... i don't think she's really looking ;)

Our Slumber Party
A big ole THANK YOU to my mom and dad!
We've all been under the weather this week. Matthew came home from work yesterday feeling worse. Darcy had been feeling icky since Monday. And after supper I started feeling icky.
After we laid Darcy down I suggested to Matthew that I call my mom and see if she'd come stay with us. I knew Matthew was really feeling bad b/c he brought me the phone... he wouldn't have done that if he wasn't really sick. At first my mom thought I was joking but once she realized I wasn't she said she'd be right over. Her and my dad ended up coming over. They slept in our bed (next to the crib) and we slept in Jessica's bed (jessica slept with them).
We finally got in the bed a little after 10pm. Matthew was worried that the boys would give them a hard time... and they did. Mom said that after one would get settled the other one would wake up. She didn't get in the bed until after 3am!
At some point Darcy woke up. My mom tried to comfort her but Darcy wouldn't let her get near her... luckily I heard her and brought her to our bed... did I mention that Jessica's bed is a full? We were packed in there tight!
Matthew and I are very grateful for a good nights rest. I asked my dad if he thought I was super woman after last night... he just laughed. Back to reality now... its just me and the kids. One of which is sick.
Say a prayer for us today.

My Day So Far
It's 10 am and I'm pretty sleepy. Last night was a crazy night. We got everyone down around 9 something. Then Matthew and I took a shower. Once we got in bed Matthew told me that he didn't want me to worry but he felt like he was coming down with something - yippee! I thought he was just tired... he never tells me when he's feeling bad. He said his throat was hurting and he just felt 'bad.' At some point not too long after we laid down, one of the boys woke up for some TLC. After I got him settled down and back in bed Darcy woke up! I tried laying her back down but a few minutes later she was screaming. So we brought her to our bed. She wouldn't stop crying/screaming. We had no idea what was wrong. We undressed her and checked her out... changed her diaper... filled her cup up... hugged her.... sang to her but nothing was working. We'd never seen her like this before... we both felt so helpless. FINALLY we got her calmed down.... and then the other brother woke up. It was pretty much back and forth like this all night. Darcy would wake up screaming crying and we'd have to work hard to get her to calm down... and then as soon as she'd calm down her brother's would take turn waking up. I honestly didn't close my eyes for more than 5 minutes until well after 3am. The boys woke up around 4:30 but Matthew took care of them b/c he was getting ready for work. I slept this morning... until around 8am. I thought that since she woke up so much last night that she'd sleep in this morning... not the case. And the boys are up as well. Right now one is in the crib and the other in the bassinett... both awake and moving around.
We think Darcy may be trying to get sick on us. She's not running a fever but if she's like her dad she won't. He rarely runs a fever when he's sick and if he does then he's really sick! Just say a prayer for us today.

A little Hectic
Today is going by so slow!!!! I've been up since 7 something. I've been back in forth with feeding and holding babies... and trying to squeeze in some Darcy time too. She was losing her patience with me earlier b/c I was trying to feed her brother but she wanted me to put her boots on... I couldn't do both. The boys both seem to want to be held today... alot more than usual. I'm trying to balance everyone but its only stressing me out. Right now Darcy is in her high chair eating lunch and the boys are in the crib... one of them is awake and crying... guess i'd better see whats wrong.
hope everyone had a good weekend! I posted on my xanga about mine.

The Da Vinci Code
Its been all over the news but I really haven't paid much attention to what its all about. Matthew seems to be really interested in it. He read the book. Our church is starting a Wednesday night class on Discussing the Da Vinci Code... we signed up. Matthew says its important to know all sides of an arguement. I'm thinking most of it will be over my head... I like to keep things simple - lol!

just a little
a little tired, a little frustrated and a little lonely.
pray for me AND for all the new mommy's and daddy's... parenthood can be a little overwhelming at times.

Sleep Report
Last night they both went to bed around 10pm... although Jeremiah was laying next to me ;) I know I know... I don't want any of our children to sleep with us but sometimes its easier on me to let them lay there. Don't worry I will not make a habit of it. They didn't wake up until 3 something and then again at 6:45am and up for good at 9:30 (which would have been later had their big sister not woke up wanting to play). Now they're both in their bouncy's just looking around.
on my toes
Darcy is definitely keeping me on my toes these days... she loves her brothers and is always trying to "take care" of them. She pats them, holds them, kisses them and tries to force their passy in their mouth. She hasn't acted jealous at all. I'm so thankful b/c I've heard horror stories... my aunt told me that my cousin would pull out his sisters foot while she was in the crib and bite it!!!!

answered questions
yes the boys sleep together... they will until they start rolling over or waking the other one up... right now if one cries the other sleeps right through it.
matthew doesn't show his teeth b/c he thinks he looks goofy... i think a lot of guys are this way... but he's not an angry person... i guess i feel like everyone always thinks he's unhappy b/c he doesn't flash a big ole teethy smile.... he's really a big ole teddy bear.
