Back to normal....

So, today I am home and everything is back to normal! Brian picked me up last night from my sleep study. That went okay, the hardest thing is that they hook up to 28 Electrodes to your scalp and face, 3 to your chest, one annoying wire on your finger, two bands tightened around your chest and stomach, 4 monitors on your legs, and a oxygen thingy in your nose, with LOTS of tape and gross glue stuff! Oh yeah, and a camera watching you, and a amplified speaker so they can hear you breathing! Then they say, "okay, sleep good" yeah...its hard to sleep... but I did...for 8 hours!
Yesterday, I couldn't take my medicine so I was a zombie! They made me lay in a dark room every 1 1/2 hours for 20 minutes...I fell asleep everytime...then they want you to stay awake in between your naps...yeah right, I fell asleep everytime in between the naps, they kept having to wake me up.
I can't even explain how much my medicine helps me! It's crazy. So today I took my meds and I feel SO irritable, and shaky! Hopefully, this feeling goes away by tomorrow! But it's all over so I'm happy about that!

The Sleep Study pics...Damian didn't understand so I took a few pics to better explain....
This isn't even HALF of the machines...LOTS more...but I didn't want to scare him too bad ;)

I felt like Medusa! Ya know the lady with Snakes in her hair!

Our Anniversary!


Today was our 4th anniversary since we were married! :) It's been a GREAT 4 years too! Brian suprised me and totally had it all planned out, he even planned for his mom to come up to watch the kids while he took me out! Sooo he called me early today and said, "Be ready when I get home to go out", I was SOOO excited! I usually have to plan everything....which I actually like but it was nice for him to do it this time too! So anyways, Carolyn got here about 2:00 and I went to get my hair did, when I came back I got ready to go, Brian came home, Carolyn took this great picture and...soon after that we were off on our romantic date :) Or so we thought.... on the way to Grapevine, (15 mins away) I got sick! Yes sick! It was raining hard, so the windshield wipers were going really fast, brian was driving (he drives a little sharp), it was bumpy, and the radio was blarring not to mention the HOT air right in my face...so anyways about 5 mins down the road I told Brian to pull over, so he pulled into a carwash...I got out and got some air then thought, " ok, I can do this" and told him lets go, he asked " do you want to go home?" I said, " no, I'm fine lets just go" Sooo anywho...we got on the freeway and I started tapping Brians arm...I was SOO weak that I couldn't get the words out...well he thought I was telling him to put his seatbelt on so he ignored me....hmmm anyways, I finally got out, "Brian pull over now!" and so he pulled over to the side of the freeway...and there I was all prettied up, hair done, lookin cute, rain POURING over me, throwing up on the side of the freeway....not exactly the romantic evening we had planned...so then we were on our way home...he asked me if I wanted anything from Bueno, (like taco bell only WAY worse)...I wasn't exactly in the mood for food. So he stopped and got himself some food, which smelled terrible! I came home, took some pepto...Brian had to go take the movies back to avoid a late fee so I asked him to grab me some Chicken noodle soup from Chik Fil A, they have the BEST! Well, it wasn't on his way.... it was about a mile out of the way...so that idea was out.

So I just put the kiddos to bed, then I realized that the relator had emailed us saying that we have a showing tomorrow! YAY! Soooo, I started cleaning, even though that was the LAST thing I felt like doing, but hey, "mom's don't get sick" right? So now I figured I would take a break since Brian is in bed and blog for a moment.


I think honestly, I am not feeling good because of stress, tomorrow is my sleep study, I have to be there at 9 pm, until 9pm friday night...in a tiny room alone with nothing to do...with electrodes hooked from head to toe...not only that but I am stressed about the house situation, Matty starting school...the kids in general, the baby bunnies, bills, money, just everything. I'm a pretty strong person so I don't show stress that much...so I think it's literally making me sick! I don't know...maybe I just have a bug...either way...maybe a nice break at the hospital for the sleep study is what I need?

Update on our new babies!!

Ok, so today I did some research on our new babies and this is what I found out from calling a million vets and bunny rescues. 1. They are NOT wild, their mother is a domestic bunny and my guess is, someone dumped her when she became preggo and didn't want to deal with it...or she got out. Anyways, she found my house and I'm glad she did! 2. They are 4 weeks old, the mother is gone because they can now fend for themselves (she thinks). 3. I know what they eat, what care they need, how to house train them in a litter box! Yeah cool huh! Anyways, I am keeping Cuddles, who I know now is a he...and I'm thinking about keeping either Hippity who is a She and now named Ebony, or Patty Cakes. I have to get them all "fixed" so I'm looking for some kind of rescue that can help us with those costs. They are able to be seperated from each other when they are 6-7 weeks. They are the sweetest baby anything I've ever seen! They come right to me and just want to snuggle! I made them a pin with chicken wire, a huge plastic poster cover (for the bottom) a bathroom rug (so its soft on their feet) and then made them a little "nest" with a basket and towels to snuggle into :) I also went to the feed store and talked to a lady that has raised bunnies for 30 years, I took Cuddles with me :) and she told me all the best things to get for them...SO now we have 5 new babies!

This doesn't happen everyday...actually I've NEVER heard of this happening to anyone ever! But I honestly think that God guided the mother to my yard knowing that we would take these bunnies in and care for and love them. I do need to try and catch the mother, she is in danger...we have coyotes in the field by our house...so if and when she comes back I'm going to take her to the Bunny rescue in Denton.




This is their new home in Damian's room, he LOVES that! I put them right by the window to give them some fresh air! This pen looks smaller than it is...its about 3 1/2 ft long by 2 1/2 feet wide. The Dark cloth is where the basket is burried...they like to be hidden.

This is cuddles when I came in to take some pictures he ran to the side and wanted me to hold him!



I picked him out and wanted to take some pictures but he wanted to be held, so he was trying to climb onto my lap :)
The Babies inside their "Nest"

BABY BUNNIES!!!!

My intuition was right, our friend Rylie the Bunny was pregnant and she had five adorable little babies! They came out of the nest today to explore and were coming right up to me! So I carefully picked one up and it snuggled right into me! It was terrified of everyone else, but for some reason liked me! I named it Cuddles! After the others saw that Cuddles was getting all of the attention they starting coming around too! So now we have Cuddles, Deuce, Patches, Hippy Hop, and Patty Cakes! The neighbor kids came over to play too! SOOO Fun! Anyways, they are just fine livin in our backyard and since we already have chicken wire around the bottom of the fence in most places they aren't going to get out and get hurt. The mother was no where to be found, but I honestly don't think she abandoned them...I think she comes at night to check on them. So anyways, I PRAY that nothing bad happens to these sweet babies...but I don't want to put them in a cage and take them away from their habitat either...SO I'm calling a vet tomorrow to see what we should and should not do. All I can say is that this is not something you hear about everyday and and we are so blessed that Rylie the mommy, felt our home was a safe place to have her babies!
Here are our sweeties!
