This Morning
8.24.2008
My mindless ramblings...
I had a lovely weekend - I went to visit my wonderful great lovely friend, Jackie. We had a great time catching up while our kids played and played. Carson loved swimming and playing with the girls and Morgan loved playing with Lauson and Momo.
A few of our conversations have kept coming back in my mind, so I thought I'd jot them down, since I really have been thinking about them all day.
First of all, this morning I did the girls' hair before church so Jackie was taking pictures, and she casually commented that now that she is blogging, she notices when she takes a picture if her house is a mess - which I totally agree with! As I was looking through previous posts, I just must not care what anyone thinks of my old house. It is always a mess! I feel like I've given up, especially since I've gone back to work. For the most part, I try to scoot stuff out of the way, or clean up a little bit when I'm taking a picture so it doesn't look that horrible. Oh, I'm so deceiving! I also want to let all of you know that the NUMBER ONE reason we don't invite people over is because our house is a mess! So don't ever feel like we don't like you or we aren't social. So not true! We just don't always have a clean house. It's one thing that I blog about it, but entirely another to share it in pictures or person with the world.
Our other conversation, revolved around "Where is the mother?" You know, you have all heard those stories where something happens to a child and in this day and age with the news all over the Internet, one of the first and foremost comments is "Where is the mother? or Where are the parents?" As a mother, I feel like it doesn't matter if I am standing right next to my child - they still could get hurt, in trouble, you name it. No matter how careful you are, stuff happens.
To let you all know what a good mom I am, I thought I'd share a story. This past spring one lovely school night, I made dinner, we ate and then the kids dispersed themselves throughout the house while Bryan and I were cleaning up. They were going along with their nightly school routine and we were talking while we were cleaning. About 20 - 30 minutes later, the doorbell rings. This is an oddity for us, because nobody ever just stops by. We always know if someone is coming to visit so we had no idea who it might be. Bryan went and answered the door and standing there are Cameron and Carson. Yes, they had been outside playing and wanted to come back in the house. Hmmmmmmm, where was their mother? You know, I had NO IDEA they had even escaped the house. It was dark outside so we wouldn't have seen them playing while we were in the kitchen. Thank heavens that they were alright and nothing happened. Again, I say, Where was their mother? I was in the house cleaning, talking to my husband, feeling like I was in control and doing what I needed to to make our house a better place and what do you know - the inmates escaped!
Yes, we have all had something like this happen to us. We just are lucky that we can laugh about it now and things turned out well.

Sunday HairDoS!
Since I've been having so much fun doing the girls' hair, I thought I'd share their do's from this past Sunday. Rylee was even a good sport and let me do her hair, although by the time we got to Primary, I noticed that she had undone her two lower braids. It was still cute though!Carson likes to twirl her hair and she got a hold of the two lowest pony tails, but they even stayed in all day :)

Happy Anniversary!!!
Today is our 5th Wedding Anniversary. I can't believe it. You hear that all the time from people but it's true. At times, it doesn't seem like that long ago that we were married and other times it seems like a lot longer than five years. I am sure that has to do with the fact that we had a ready-made family for us. We surely hit the ground running and have never looked back.
I can't find the rest of our wedding photos so this one will have to do, until I can find the rest!
Well, honey - I am so glad we have made it this far and I happily look forward to many more years together. We always have so much fun together and you make me happy. I love you!
I can't find the rest of our wedding photos so this one will have to do, until I can find the rest!
Thank You, Kimberly!
Since I started back to work in December, the kids have had the best day care I could ever ask for. A friend from church, Kimberly, offered to watch the kids for me. Man, was she a lifesaver. My kids instantly fell in love with her. She has a little boy Carson's age and a little girl Morgan's age. They had so much fun playing together three times a week. Since Carson is starting pre-k this week, they started going to a new day care so she could ride the bus to school, since Kimberly doesn't live in the same school district as we do. My kids were so sad... They truely enjoyed their time with her. In fact, the last day I took them, I took some pictures and I couldn't even get Morgan to look at me because he just loves to look at her! It's pretty cute.
So THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for taking such good care of my babies. I never ever worried about them when they were in your home and they always had so much fun. We will miss seeing you when I'm at work - but look forward to many more fun times we can spend together....
Carson's Hair
I have been having sooooooooooo much fun doing Carson's hair. I found a couple of blogs that have been great inspiration to me. I will share her "do" from today.
This is simple three ponytails on the top half of her head. Braid the side ponytails and split the top one in half - braid each side. Pull two braids plus bottom half of hair into a low ponytail and do a messy bun. Complete with a mini-clip.
Here is a view from the top. This was a pretty easy do - it took me maybe 10 minutes. I am getting super fast at braiding her hair.
Visiting Grandparents and Cousins
(Alright people, I just downloaded pictures off of my camera and now I'm remembering posts I should have made a long time ago! Sorry about that.)
When we were in Idaho last month, we met Bryan's parents and Uncle James, Angela and Jenny at the mall. We had lunch and the kids played together on the fun toys there. We sure enjoyed spending time with them...

Grandpa Sant, Morgan, Carson, Jenny, Angela and Grandma Sant
Grandpa and Grandma Sant received a special letter this week from the prophet. They have been called on a mission to Salt Lake City where they will work for the Church's History Department. They don't know much more than that! We are very excited for them. They start their mission on October 3. They have been looking forward to this for a very long time and we are so excited for them. What a great example to their children and grandchildren. Way to go! We are so proud of you!
Morgan and his favorite toy...
You have all been asking for pics, here they are. I found him with the plunger one day - I didn't give it to him to take pictures - that is gross! And since I keep forgetting each time I go to the store, I haven't bought him his own yet either - that is even grosser!
I'm getting ready to row!
I can use it to reach up way high!
I can pretend it's a horsey and take a ride.
Or I can just hold onto it while I watch television!8.08.2008
Cheetos, TV and Diets...
It's 11:40 pm, I'm reading yahoo news and I see the word "Cheetos"... Instantly, I want some. I have to have some. Is that crazy or what? I know that we have a bag of puffy Cheetos (which are definitely not as good as the crunchy ones, but in a pinch will do) in the cupboard below the microwave. Seriously, my mouth is just watering thinking about those Cheetos. I CANNOT EAT THEM!
I have been trying really hard since the beginning of June to lose some weight. I'm even on a special diet. Some weeks I do very well, others not so good. I'm sure that is the way most diets are. I only have four weeks left of this special diet and then I'm moving to the maintenance phase. Am I done losing weight? Heavens no! I just can't afford the diet anymore and am going to move onto something that is cheaper, eating regular food. I needed a kick start in the losing weight department so that healing from my surgery would be easier and faster. All in all, I do feel a lot better. I have more energy and I have lost some weight! Yeah for me :)
But, one of my most difficult times of the day is after 8:00 pm. I start craving anything and everything - like those Cheetos. And now that I'm on a diet, any time that I am watching television and someone is eating something - I start to crave that. I did NOT realize how many people eat on television. Never even noticed it before. Now that I can't eat most foods, I definitely notice it. Do you think this is a subliminal form of advertising? The worst show to watch for me is "Friends". I absolutely love that show. I will watch it in reruns forever, just like my parents used to watch "M.A.S.H." Anyway, they are always eating something on that show - muffins or cookies at the coffee shop, pizza or Chinese food at Monica's, fajitas at Ross'... Must I go on? I'm telling you, watching that show makes me hungry.
So, the last two nights, I've watched myself after 8 pm and tried so much to not eat! I've been drinking lots of pop, maybe that's why I can't fall asleep, all that caffeine. But guess what, I've been successful. It is a lot of work though. It isn't easy that is for sure. Please bear with me as I ramble on about my weight loss now and in the future. This is one contest I surely want to lose!

I am a mother (and oh so happy about it)
Alrighty folks, you know that it is time for school to begin when:
1. The seven and a half year old and the four year old stay up later than their parents watching "Sponge Bob". I think this week that the two of them haven't gone to bed before 10:30 pm. I'm so tired!
2. When we go to the waterpark and the 13 year old, after only 45 minutes, gets out of the pool, and reads a book for the remainder of our time there.
3. When any and all routines go out the window so fast that there is no way to stop them.
4. When I haven't cooked dinner for five nights, because I'm not home.
5. When the four year old has to go to the bathroom so badly, that when someone else is already in there, she just pees all over her bedroom floor and then it's mom's fault. (Because it always is!)
6. When the 21-month old doesn't know what the meaning of nap time is... (Not because he won't take a nap, but because we are never home)
7. When the mom asks the 10 year old AND the 7 year old "When was the last time you brushed your teeth or took a shower?" and they can't remember.
8. Finally, when the mom is ready to pull out each hair on her head individually only because it would be less painful than trying to persuade, coax, invite, harass or bully her children into obeying! Yes folks, it is indeed time for school to begin.
PS - We really are a happy family - we just thrive so much better with structure.

Interesting article...
I read the Deseret News daily. It's one of my obsessions :) Don't know if that is a good or a bad thing, but just the same, I do read it. I read an interesting article about Sister Beck's talk from October 2007 conference.
I don't understand what all the uproar is about. I even printed off the talk to read again and of course, nothing they were quoting in the article was in her talk... I didn't know if they were trying to stir things up or what. I will say that with the advent of blogs and such, I have run across some women's sites by LDS church members that after reading a few things on them, I just have never felt quite comfortable becoming a regular reader or commenter on those sites. I don't know if I'm alone in this or not - believe me there is SO MUCH GREAT AND WONDERFUL stuff on the Internet. However, I am not comfortable with some of the sites I have seen that are from LDS women who argue, dissect, twist and/or take issue with the teachings of church leaders.
Just my humble opinion...

Check it out!

I was this close to getting Carson's hair cut in a little bob, but now that I've found this website, we'll keep her hair long for a while now.

No Patience...
I have no patience.
I have lost that virtue.
How do I get it back?
See, it starts out - I'm a good person, I think I will try and have a child or two. I'm pretty patient and I can handle it... At least that is what you think, and then they are born. Whole new ball game. Not exactly what you thought. Oh, there are some great times, some peaceful times, some nice times too, but after awhile - patience has thrown itself out of the window.
Could my dieting have anything to do with this?

Morgan's new favorite toy....
Why do I spend money on toys for my little boy? He is obsessed with our toilet plunger - how gross is that? I have got to start hiding it. He will lug that thing all over the house, this morning he had it out and on top of Bryan's basketball, pushing it around - thinking that was oh, so funny.
EWWWWWWWWW!
EWWWWWWWWW!
What I've been lifting lately...
Morgan had a drs appt this week in St. Louis. Of course, they measured him and weighed him. He weighs 27 pounds now :) He is in the 15% for his height and 50% for his weight - go figure.
Then I figured out why I keep getting these darn hernias. Carson weighs 34 pounds and before this surgery in May, I could and would carry both of them around - that is 61 pounds combined weight. WOW!
Now, I don't think of myself as very strong - in fact I'm pretty much a wimp, but lifting those two all the time - yeah, I'm sure my doctor would be very mad at me. I'll admit, since this past surgery, I think I've lifted them both only a couple of times - I just can't do it anymore. When your ab muscles don't work - it's difficult to do much.
So here is to mothers everywhere who carry two or three kids at a time. My hat is off to you - you muscle-clad women.

The Most Expensive Sinus Infection/Migraine Headache Ever
Last week, Carson was sick. She started on Monday evening, early Tuesday morning throwing up. She did that until about noon. She was then lethargic and listless for the next three days. She laid in bed or on the couch the entire time. She kept telling me that her head hurt and would point to the front of her forehead between her eyes. She wouldn't walk and she said the light hurt her eyes. Just to stand up took great effort and she held her head to one side. After she was finished throwing up, she wanted only to drink milk, no eating for my girl.
As I was trying to figure out what was going on, because I was pretty sure that she didn't have the flu, I realized that this had happened two other times since the first of April. She was having the same illness every 4 -5 weeks. I was able to get her into our pediatrician on Wednesday. I thought that she might have vertigo or a migraine headache - I even wondered if it might be a sinus infection but she didn't have any drainage (as far as I knew). Although Dr. Soler also thought it might be a migraine headache, she decided that Carson should have an MRI the next day. She would have to be sedated because she had to lie perfectly still for the procedure. This was to make sure there wasn't anything else going on.
We arrived at the hospital early on Thursday morning. They put this numbing cream on Carson's hands so that they could put an IV in one of her hands. The team who worked with Carson were amazing. They did a wonderful job. She cried when they inserted the IV in her hand. I thought she did amazingly well - I held her while they poked her and she didn't even tense up - she let me hold her the whole time.
While the sedation medicine was beginning to work it's magic, I carried Carson down to the room and the nurses took her in. I waited in the waiting area for almost an hour and then she was done. Bryan was meeting me at the hospital with Cameron and Morgan and somehow passed by the waiting room and was already in the room waiting with Carson. She came out of the sedation well, and we were able to go.
We heard from the doctor the next day that there were no abnormalities or tumors (whew!) and that she had a sinus infection. She has been on an antibiotic for the past five days and will go on it again after a little break.
We were so relieved that there were no problems. The doctor still thinks that she is getting migraine headaches so we will have to deal with that, but thank heavens that is all it is.
I was a little surprised that a small child could even have a migraine headache. I have a friend at work whose daughter was diagnosed with migraines at the age of three. Another friend from church has a nephew who has CVS - Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome which is similarly related. So we will talk to our doctor again about this information and hopefully get a handle on this.
I am so greatful that everything went well. Carson is such a big girl these days and such an important member of our family. We sure love her.

Six Random Things about Me…
1. I HATE to fly in airplanes, yet I do it usually twice a year and sometimes more. Actually, I used to LOVE to fly and then September 11th happened. I know that sounds weird, but ever since then, it terrifies me to fly and I still do it. I'm a glutton for punishment. I am always afraid that something is going to happen during take off. Usually, I just close my eyes during that time and in my mind I count to 100 at least three times. I've trained myself that by then, everything should be okay. Once I was on a flight with some missionaries, and I knew I would be safe because Heavenly Father wouldn't let them die! Yes, I tell myself interesting things like that all the time.
2. I am the worst procrastinator in the whole entire world. Enough said.
3. I didn't have a penicillin shot until I was 16 (I never was sick as a child), I never had braces as a teenager, and I didn't experience acne until I was in my 20's. I had my first kiss when I was 16 - all of my friends were much younger when they got their first kiss. What is up with that?
4. I am a huge lurker of blogs. It's my new hobby. When I find a blog to read, I'll click into their links, and then read and again, click into their links and on and on. The vicious circle just goes on and on. I actually found a friend this week, by doing that - she took our wedding photos. She is awesome.
5. I want to live in a newer house, preferably with a basement and closer to Springfield, our friends and the church. I don't think I'm asking for much.
6. I start many projects and finish few. Again, the procrastinator in me comes out. Yes, it's a wonderful habit to have.
I tag Shireen, Crystal, Ashley, Kiera, Trisha and Tracy.

Usually, I just close my eyes during that time and in my mind I count to 100 at least three times. I've trained myself that by then, everything should be okay. Once I was on a flight with some missionaries, and I knew I would be safe because Heavenly Father wouldn't let them die! Yes, I tell myself interesting things like that all the time.
2. I am the worst procrastinator in the whole entire world. Enough said.
3. I didn't have a penicillin shot until I was 16 (I never was sick as a child), I never had braces as a teenager, and I didn't experience acne until I was in my 20's. I had my first kiss when I was 16 - all of my friends were much younger when they got their first kiss. What is up with that?
4. I am a huge lurker of blogs. It's my new hobby. When I find a blog to read, I'll click into their links, and then read and again, click into their links and on and on. The vicious circle just goes on and on. I actually found a friend this week, by doing that - she took our wedding photos. She is awesome.
5. I want to live in a newer house, preferably with a basement and closer to Springfield, our friends and the church. I don't think I'm asking for much.
6. I start many projects and finish few. Again, the procrastinator in me comes out. Yes, it's a wonderful habit to have.
I tag Shireen, Crystal, Ashley, Kiera, Trisha and Tracy.
