Bloggety Blog Blog and OCD

After watching an episode of Oprah, yeah, thanks Oprah, I realize that I truly do have OCD - badly. I realized that I never realized that some of my behaviors are really OCD. I used to joke about it but never thought of seeking help because I didn't know they were signs of truly bad OCD. I told my husband this and he said I was becoming one of those people. I asked what people and he said those people that read about something or watch something and then boom they have it. I told him thats not true I have always openly admitted that something was wrong with me but I thought it was just a combination of a terrible childhood and bad parenting and that I just had issues. I mean I can function in everyday life, how bad could it be. My husband lovingly told me he was booking my room tomorrow at a very nice place so I wouldn't be a threat to anyone. Nice that he takes me seriously. Or he really did take me seriously and I might be carted off any moment now.

The kids are great no one has been sick in a couple of weeks now - woo hoo! Except for me that is but that is my own damn fault for not getting enough sleep. I also took advantage of the price of gold and sold my stash from the 1980's. I know that some people my have many emotional attachments to their jewelry but this stuff was sitting in a little baggy for YEARS. $700.00 later bye bye 1989! I found out that my stepmother got ripped off on a ring she had made for me - the citrine stones were fake. How could you fake a cheap stone to begin with. Thank god it's all gone. I have one more ring that I have been debating selling or not. I don't really wear it, maybe once a year, but I still like it.

Hope all of you out there are doing well!

Ugh

I was going to post a couple days ago with some pictures but then I got side tracked. I was then going to take some pictures of Ava and of the two of my kids together and post those too but I got a call from Damien's school and of course he is puking all over the place and is still puking. I needed a break from the clean up so now I'm posting and letting all of you share in my misery. It is May isn't it? Shouldn't this have stopped for a few months? Apparently it spread like wildfire and a whole class was home sick and throughout the day one child got sick after another. Iwould really love a whole month of no one sick at all. I think I've earned it by now.


We will all just have to be happy with pictures of just Ava for now. Enjoy!

These are the most recent pictures of her at 3 months. Yes I need to get 4 month pictures soon.



Can you tell that she is a very happy baby.




These are 2 month old pictures. The last one is hysterical and a nice image to end on.




How funny is this!
