ten weeks...

I'm so tired. LOL but I'm happy. I'm full of stew I just got done making. Half the time I eat I am ok. the other half of the time i spend about half my day feeling sick to my stomach. I don't know what to think of that.
It's funny how when iw as going thru infertility treatment I said I would NEVER complain about being pregnant. But uh..yeah...lol I must have lied :)
My husband is happy about the baby, my family is happy as well.
I on the other hand am scared to death that something I am doing or going to do will mess this up for me. I just want to have a happy healthy baby. God will provide I am sure.

The major complaint about everything is that I continue to get migranes. I am not sure why. It's going to kill me!!! When I first started getting migraines when I was married to my first husband, I would pop a couple of migrane medications and sleep. A LOT. but... I cant' take the medication being pregnant. and come on Tylenol does NOT cut this crap.... So please..just decrease the amount of times I feel like crap in a week so I can actually work.

From Infertility to Fertility

For years I wanted a baby. My ex-husband and I tried very hard (me more so then him since I was the one getting all the procedures done!) And the stress and pain of infertility just killed our marriage (among other things). At that point I gave up ever hoping that I would have a baby of my own one day. I did not want to go thru that ever ever ever again. I didnt want my crazy compulshion to have a baby to run my life like I let it so long ago. When I got married my new husband had/has two children. It was a dream for me. I got to be a parent, no midnight feedings, no diapers. It was awesome. We never worried about a baby coming a long because...well...after years of fertility treatment, it just never happened.
Two years after I remarried...I was not feeling well. I could not move without my boobs hurting. It felt like I was going to start my period any day. I was not feeling good. I was tired and drained every day. So even against my better judgement I went ahead and tested....I was late for my period but heck I am usually never "normal" so I went ahead and tested...and there was two lines. TWO lines. What the heck. how could that happen? OK well i know how it happens honestly. but What!!! it just "happened" after allthese years of being told it WOULD NEVER happen.
OH thank God! Miracles do happen!

Tired...A lot

What is the deal with being tired 24/7?? Cause I want to sleep every day for hour's a day. I guess that's part of being pregnant but COME ON I have to work!!! How do so many people birth so many rugrats!!! it's amazing.

Any suggestions?

is it in my mind?

Since I found out that I am pregnant I have felt more and more naseated and simply exhausted. I know before I found out I was not feeling all that great. but WOW I wonder if some of it is in my mind. If I didn't know would I just ignore it and go on a lot quicker? I dunno. But i'm totally tired. I took a four hour nap this afternoon and i am still tired. I have a load of paperwork to do for work and I am sitting in the living room blogging. Yeah I'm not getting much done am I :) LOL>

Ahh well.

Two lines on the stick

So this morning I was just going about my business but decided that I should pee on a stick this morning as I have been feeling a little "off" lately. So I peed on the stick and this is what came back:



OMG it's real and it's going to happen and if my calculations are approximated right, it's going to be February when this kiddo makes his or her debut. Now to find a dr in the area...

Regrets?

Ok so there have been some things I have been working on with a lot of help from the doctor. One thing is regrets....He asked me if I have any regrets. I do. I only have a few the biggest one is not a huge deal but it's somewhat frustrating to me.

One is that I never called my Gramma Gray the night before she died. Even though two days before she passed I said I would call her. I got busy with work and life and forgot. When I got the phone call that she died....I was heartbroken. Although I told her I loved her on my last phone call. It was still heartbreaking.

The second, I did not spend enough time telling my Nana how much she meant to me. She and my grandfather both were integril parts in my childhod and between them and my mother and my Grandma gray, they helped to instill an awsesome amount of knowledge and love in my life. She was always there for me and heck everyone else and I have for over a year wondered what if anything anyone in our family could have done to prevent her death.

Other then those two things, I may have a few minor regrets however one of the big ones we discused was if I regeret getting married so young. I had to think about that one. Not because I wondered if I did but I wondered what I would have been had I not gotten married at 17.

I have to say I don't regret it. It took me a long time to get over him. I loved him and still do just not the way I did back then. I wish only the best for him. I know what our life was like. I know that we were very young and I wish in some way that we would have communicated differently and that in the end we had'nt hurt eachother as much as we did. but alas I moved on.

The shrink who I am paying a fortune too asked if the reason I am still so angry stems from the fact that the rumors were spread that I cheated on him. that still to this day haunts me. It hurts me to think that someone would entertain the fact that I cheated on my first husband. I never so much as touched another man except as friends until after we had been seperated for quite a while. No matter what the rumors were I still want to explain myself to him but he will always have his side of the story just as I will.

After losing everything once I am once bitten and twice shy so when i got married the second time I wanted to make sure it would last

I am a strong willed person I am a good person and I can be mean and hateful too when I don't get my way. I'm working on changing that but it sure is not easy. what ever happened to life being easy.

Time.....

Where has the time gone? It is almost June. almost half way thru the year. The kids are out of school. I am already half way through my year and have to almost get ready to start buying presents for Christmas again.

I took my new job with the thought that I would be able to spend an awful lot more time working with the kids and the husband instead of with work. Instead now I am working...at least at home..so I get to spend time with them. But I am spending time at a desk in my bedroom away from the kids. I am thankful for the job and everything and am happy for my job but it kind of sucks that I am so new that I have to spend so much time doing what I am because Im trying to do everything to perfection.


Ahh how time makes things change.

Happy Mothers Day

This is my second year being a mother. A step mother but I have earned the right to be called a mother. 6 days a week I awaken to kids in my household that beg for food, require tending and desire attention. They need clean clothes, food, snuggled and loved unconditionally. I am thankful that I am a part of their life. It is actually two years today since I met these two kids. Two years ago today that I lost my heart to these two kiddo's. And for the last two years I have given it my all. Granted I have lost my temper, screamed, thrown my own fair share of tantrums and whined too. Becoming a step parents has not been an easy transition. But they are awesome kids so easily accepting me into their life.

A huge thank you to my mother, my grandmothers, and even my twin, for showing me how to be a good mom.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY EVERYONE!!!!!

Love,
Catherine

Why?

While I am working at my new job I have noted a few different things lately:
(for those that do not know I am a claims adjuster for homes, motorcycles and RV's and well darn near anything really)

1. When you are expecting a person to come to your home, it is customary to at least make a path through your home for me to walk. Honestly I dont care that your home is a mess, my home is usually a mess because I work a lot and have no time to clean it but I can at least walk through it.

2. If you have a claim, and have a crappy memory try writing down the events as they occur. Telling me fifty different versions of what happened is going to confuse me and by getting mad at me for asking you twenty of the same questions in ten different ways in order to clarify things is not going to help the problem.

3. If you have a pipe break, and I call you and tell you to clean up the water, you do not need to let the water stay on the floor so I can see it for myself. I know what happens when a pipe breaks. I am not an idiot, I have been doing this for years. If you do not mitigate your damages, I will not pay for the additional damages because you are too lazy to clean it up!!

4. If someone breaks into your home and steals something, it is very customary to CALL THE POLICE. Just because you dont want to bother them, does not mean you dont need to call them. It is important to call them because it says in your contract that YOU signed that you will contact them. If you do not contact them, I may not pay your claim.

5. When you are in an accident with another vehicle, pull over and call the police, I dont care if the other person left the scene, I dont care if you are ten minutes away from home. you need to pull over and get a report. Otherwise I am going to assume you probably hit and ran someone and may decide you are at fault and code the accident with you being more at fault. And if you read your contract I have that right because you didnt hold up your end of the bargain.

6. Read your contract. I do not decline your claim because I feel vengeful. I do it because there is no coverage. Or because it specifically states that it is not covered. I am not a hateful person. It is easier for me to write out a check to you then it is for me to tell you it's not covered, then go home and tell my supervisor that I need to decline a claim and write a long friggin decline letter out and send it to you. It's a pain in my rear to decline a claim. it's easy for me to write a check.

7. If you have questions ask them. do not assume anything. assuming does one thing, makes you look stupid. I have been doing this for years and I STILL ask questions. I read contracts every day and ask questions. I am not perfect and I may make a mistake, I expect that you may possibly do so as well. But dont always assume that I am stupid because I need to step out to my car and read your policy. I am not the book o'knowledge. My company has over 400 contracts, it is not possible for me to memorize every single one of them.

8. Lock up your darn dogs. I cannot tell you how many times I drive up to a house (usually a mobile home in the middle of BFE) and they have a dog running around outside and I cannot access the house because their dog is running around loose outside barking up a storm possibly wanting to eat my left leg for lunch. I am not dinner, please lock up your dog.

Flying....Sucks...

OK so lately I have had to enjoy flying a few different times. OK actually I cannot say I enjoy it. So I decided to put a few things on here to give people some information about what should not happen.



1. To the lady with the $800 Louis Vitton backpack/purse. When there are 150 seats of which only half of them are taken...Sitting next to the family of four and asking them to remove their kids diaper bag from the seat so you can sit down...How much ruder could you get..How bout you skip your happy but down about five seats and sit there...You know ...the place that has no one else sitting there and it would not involve the mom having to put the kid down on the floor in order to move everything for YOU to sit down to enjoy your burrito.

2. To the husband and wife (I only say that as they both had rings on their left hands..it is possible that they were cheating I don’t really know) When you are in public it is common courtesy to not sit there rubbing all over eachother and sticking your hands up eachothers shirts and down eachothers pants. It is not appropriate for the children in the area nor do I want to see it.

3. To the parents who’s toddler keeps screaming....Seriously...I understand you do not want to hear it...but for those of us that are sitting around you...we want to hear it even less..Doctors will prescribe something for kids that fly...Or you can give them Benadryl or something else. But please do not make everyone around you suffer. It’s not fair to anyone that has to sit on the plane for the next four hours.

4. To the stewardess...When someone asks you for a seat belt extender...do not make a big scene...Just say yes...retrieve it and discreetly hand it over. The woman next to me was embarrassed enough about asking for one...the haughty attitude and rude way you yanked it out of the overhead and practically threw it at her is just screwed up. I was tempted to ask for one as the seat belt was snug..however after watching the horror on the poor woman’s face next to me...I restrained myself and just said forget it.

5. To the guy in the business suit. I am sorry that you have to fly with us lower class people. But making us get up twice so that you could retrieve crap out of your carry on and then you proceed to put your headphones on while you work on your laptop and ignore the stewardess when she asks if you would like a drink..and when you finally notice that I have a drink don’t give ME and attitude because you did not pay any attention when they came by TWICE already. Then you poke at the call button rudely insinuating that they ignored you on purpose because they are bitches... That makes you look like an idiot and a jerk. I hope that the suit that you spilled the hot sauce packet on never gets clean..You big JERK.

6. To the people standing in line waiting to check in... Don’t let your kids run off and then expect everyone to jump out of the way because you can’t keep track of them. Heck they make leashes for parents like you because you cannot be a good enough parent to pay attention to what is going on. your kids are more important than your friend that you are blabbin on the cell phone with. Shut it off...pay attention to whats going on around you and the line you are in.

7. To the stupid college students running off for spring break.... Running around in shorts and a t-shirt and getting pissed off because it’s cold in Cincinnati...your an idiot. You should of dressed for the location you are going too. Who’s fault is it that your an idiot. Did your mommy and daddy not teach you how to dress appropriately?

8. The idiot on the cell phone. When the plane lands and we are taxing to the gate...it’s fine to check messages etc...but as we wait the 20 or so minutes for people to file off the plane ahead of us...I do not want to hear about your dinner plans. I do not want to hear about your mothers galbladder surgery or the fact that Timmy Jr got caught jacking off in the boys locker room. No one on the plane wanted to know..but you said it loud enough for everyone to hear about it..





OK..so far i’m done.......I might think of more..

New Job

OK- I'm running a little late in regards to getting this information to everyone. Here are a few interesting points of information.

1. I recently quit my job
2. I got a new one
3. I am in Ohio for five and a half weeks for my new job.
4. I miss the hell out of my family I cannot believe how insane this is that I am this far away and they are all home without me.
5. I quit going to school because I was so busy that I could not cope. With my new job

Clean House

OK so I am watching a show called Clean House. It is amazing how dirty peoples houses are and then they expect someone to come in and clean their house for them and then you come in after that and you see what they have done to your house and you bitch and moan about it. Seriously...you are complaining that someone is coming in and cleaning up your apartment or home and not doing it the way you wanted it. Well that's your own fault. You should have done it the way you wanted it. it's your own fault. It just drives me nuts. People need to quit hoping that someone else will bail your ass out. Work your ass off and clean it up and deal with your life. For Christs sake to

Killing someone?

I will never understand someone's desire to kill another peson. I have in the past thought about ending my own life....When I was going through a divorce I wanted to die. I thought my life was over. And then life moved on and I am as happy as ever. And lately we hear about things like the recent NIU shooting where Steven Kazmierczak someone who is close to my age, a college graduate with honors who decided to walk into a classroom and open fire killing so far six students. What the hell was this person thinking. He took the lives of innocent people. Why?
Although I have wanted to smack the hell out of someone out of their stupidity I have never thought of harming someoine physically beyond that. Who the hell does someone think they are..>That their life is so bad that theyu should take not only their ownlife but that of someone else. That is not fair to the people that are killed by them at all. If you are going to kill someone tell us why. Don't make us wait in pain and agony. The pain left behind we will never heal from. It is horrible and we will forever be jaded by it. If you feel the need to kill youself fine...but leave the innocent people out of it! For those mothers out there that want to kill themselves...fine..but don't kill your kids....

Stupid freaking people just piss me off :( It's just plain sad and disgusting.
I pray that the family members of each of those that are innocent are

I haver to run away to Ohio for five weeks so i'm going to miss the hell out of my family. but I have to say we shall persevere.

Moving Dennis and I into the larger bedroom, cleaning up and painting the house and things like that. I"m excited though all the changes i've been wanting for a while will happen because they HAVE too :) and thus I learned...All things will happen eventually but will normally happen only when they are required. and if someone bitches..well i'm the one having to be alone the longest. Five weeks with no family..and away from my twin again... and my step kids. i'm going to miss the heck out of them. Oh and as always hubs too..I love him

Valentines Day...The day to make the world sad..

once a year like tax time, or your annual pap smear comes the day that is called valentines day.... do you feel bad yet??? no??? well you should because thats what its all about... unless your rich and taken

for those of you out there who are alone, single, widowed or for whatever reason have nobody. maybe you just want to forget but no chance of that this month unless you put a pick axe through your brain. the commercials are there to show you the presents and the attention you are sure not to be getting from that special no one.

are you taken??? well men, see those diamonds on TV and the happy women receiving them??? well you should feel bad for not buying one for your woman??? why??? because the commercial says so. does it matter that you treat her wonderfully? no . does it matter that you cant afford it? no! use a credit card.dont get me wrong, I have nothing against diamonds personally, they never cut me off in traffic or eat the last piece of pizza in the fridge, but they are an extravagance that people should not be pressured to feel bad about if they dont have the expendable money to waste on it.

Ladies who are taken, unless you are in highschool, this is a babyish holiday, seriously, you are a woman not a teen in a popularity contest to show off your trinkets. unless you landed a rich one, dont expect diamonds. be happy with the flowers that will die, believe me he over paid for those just to make you happy, or the candy or whatever he gets you. remember he had to go to a public place and buy this sappy girly stuff in front of other people. if that aint love, then what is?????

(I had to borrow this from my friend michelle. she's just friggin awesome...

February....

For the last few months I have been looking for a new job. The company I work for is awesome in so many ways, but many of the changes I am unhappy about. I want to be able to succeed, and yet I do not want to have to drive 50 plus miles each way. I spend ten hours at work add three hours a day for drive time and I'm exhausted before I get home. I am grumpy and whiney and frankly not very nice.
Now... I am in the running for a position with a cool company that would give me the opportunity to succeed, work from home and get soem traveling too. Travelling would be awesome. Being able to go away and know what I get to go back to would be interesting. I have also been looking forward to this job and I dont even know if I am going to be getting it. I will find out on or before the 8th. So anyone reading this, please pray for me like crazy!! I'm

Another year

Wow it is already 2008. Amazing really considering everything I have been through. I am so ready for this new year with great new things to come. In the past year we dealt with a close call with my husbands life. A few car accidents (none of them at fault!) Death's within our family and then Multiple ups and downs in jobs and things like that. Finally life is Calming down. I'm fitting into my life as a step mother a little bit better. I'm attempting to work very hard towards being a more positive person. over the last few years i've become extremly negative and that's not fair to anyone in my family. I cannot believe how much I have in my life and how much of it I have been taking it for granted. Thank you God for everything you have given me.

Horrible about posting

To all my avid fans (ok all like ten of you) Sorry I have not been very zelous in keeping up. I've been so busy.
So I recently started back to Grad School so that keeps me busy about 30 extra hour's a week. Add to that the fact that I recently got into an accident and messed up my back and shoulder i've just not felt like sitting at a computer any longer then I absolutely have needed too.

Something I did want to comment about. ---
As many know I work for a Insurance company that is centered towards providing services to military members and their families.. I've worked there for two years. I recently was asked by a friend what my point of view was on the recent church protest that was held at a soliders funeral. I have to say I was horrified. http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/10/31/funeral.protest/index.html#cnnSTCVideo

I cannot imagine that you would scream obcenities towards a family who is mourning a family member that was lost. Sitting there blaming Gay's for the dead soliders and the war in Iraq. What are people thinking. I think that the church deserves to be sued. I have always whole heartedly agreed with freedom of speech. At almost any cost. But this passes lines. This is horrible and hateful and mean. Why would you even attempt to do this. Protest all you want but do NOT protest the funeral of a person that has died attempting to save the lives of those in another country.

As my grandmother has once said
"Do not judge until you have walked a mile in that mans' shoes" I know it's an old indian proverb or something like that but she said that all the time.

It's disgusting and I pray to God that

Who am I?

At 17 I became Catherine Tiffany, Wife of Travis Tiffany. The love of my life. At that time of my life I thought this union would last forever. God forgives, we should too. The bible says forgive 70 times 7. Which to us should mean an infinate amount of forgiveness, just as God has. Unfortunately, on Oct 27th, 2003 my world as I knew it crashed down around me. I was no longer Mrs. Travis Tiffany. I was the seperated wife. And a year later, I was then deemed and the EX-Wife. Here it is going on four years later. I cannot believe that it has been this long.

On June 30th, 2006 I got remarried I am now Mrs Catherine P*****. Wife of Mrs Dennis P*****. I still wonder how this is going to work out. Getting married so quickly after we met could not of been a good idea. We have many ups and downs. I love him but I'm afraid of loving him. I'm afraid of getting hurt like the first time. IS this fair to him? Probably not...actually I know it's not. I do not give my full self to him. How fair can I be to someone when i'm so afraid of losing everything all over again. I have two step children now. Do they deserve me to only be half of my former self. I do not know how to love endlessly anymore...

stupid people

so today I get to work, park in a parking spot that is unmarked. I just got an e-mail that states I need to move my vehicle or else I will be ticketed. mind you I work in a large building, Corporate security is getting ticked cause I parked in an area that carpool only people can park. Well...Since I have handicapped parking plates I should be able to park anywhere there is a handicapped parking spot. But apparently that's not true.....Hmm....now i'm a little more then irritated.....

It's been a while....

OK so it has been quite a while since I decided to write my blog. Life has been quite busy and i've not exactly felt very good considering. I have had some bad migraines lately as well as a few anxiety attacks and thus this has kept me away from working. I have been on short term disability for about a month. And i'm still not yet getting to go back to work yet. I also want to be able to go to school but that's not happening either. Truthfully between the stress of Dennis being sick earlier this year, add to that the stress of being a new step mother and everything else. I just truly don't know how to "relax" enough to get better. And now i'm suffering from allergies so all told I truly feel as if I was just put into a room as far away as possible from everyone, possibly I would feel better. Who knows. I hate feeling like this. I hate feeling like I'd be better off dead, I hate feeling as if I have no hope.
It seems as though no one listens to me, no one pays any attention to what I request the only way to get anything thru to anyone is to YELL and then when I do become a biach! and start yelling then i'm the complete bad guy. I give up. What the hell does everyone else want from me? I cant be both the perfect wife, mother and employee while no one else gives a crap about what is important to me. Truthfully as much as aI hate being single and as much as I love my husband and step kids I wonder if they would be better off without me and me without them.
My husband doesnt care what I want, he is lazy and willpush everything off onto me as much as possible and to him that's ok. What happened to things being 50/50 hell no that's no where near what we have. what we have is Me being a slave to everything and him...well he will only help when I totally loose it...and yet i'm the bad guy!!!! I give up...someone tell me what the hell i'm supposed to do!!

Time away...

So today is my first day back after being off work for five days. Hubby has been quite sick due to a cold as well as earlier this year (HA HA...it's only the 15th!) he was in the hospital because of his Chron's disease. So anyways. I've been taking time off to make sure that he is alright. Nothing scares me more then the thought of losing him.
When he was in the hospital the last time he ended up getting too much of a painkiller and it almost killed him. He stopped breathing and it really freaked me out. They called me at 4:45am and told me that they were transferring him to ICU. They couldnt tell me exactly what was going on as they had just started the transfer. I was there within half an hour. All I remember thinking as I drove was..."we've only been married six months...this isnt fair...I cant lose him already....I cant live without him" I was so afraid as I made phone calls to my sister, Dennis' grandparents, bio dad's house and others. I just could not believe that this was happening to us. Now that he is home and alright i'm still constantly freaked out. I cannot sleep at night with him next to me without thinking he's not breathing or something silly like that. I wake up all night long..and have to go to the living room to sleep without checking on him every ten minutes.
The drug's are just NOT helping me at all to cope with this. I'm angry, frustrated, and extremly bitchy lately. Why is the darn anti depressant/anti anxiety drugs working correctly. I truthfully don't know what to do at this point. I have a appointment with the Shrink tomorrow morning. I sure as heck hope that in some way this issue can be resolved...cause I definately cannot keep doing this.....

Monday, October 23, 2006

Wow.

So i'm sitting here at work. About to get back on the phones.
I'm sitting here wondering where in life i'm going.
Is life really all about marriage and kids and spouses and everything else.
Does anyone besides me wonder why they are here on earth? Anyone??

I feel Old...

OK so today I got to enjoy the heck out of my nine year old niece's birthday....But now that I think about it....OMG I'm getting old LOL.
I cannot believe that my niece is nine. I know I have my two step kids now...They are ages eight and nine. I dont know why they dont make me feel old. I think since Liz and I are twin's it makes me feel old. If Ashley and Jeffery were mine biologically I would probably feel a lot older. LOL>>>Sheesh what can I say...the kids mean everything to me. and i'm to the point where some day I pray that I am able to have a few of my own. Gues I'll have to wait and see..

As I sit here

OK so i'm sitting here at work.
wondering what the world I am doing. I'm so lost in this darn claim i'm about to scream. Makes me wonder why people do things that they do.
I had a great weekend with the kids. Spent my Tuesday with my nieces and new step kids cleaning house and cuddling and watching TV. What more could I ask for. The kids were all in good moods and I got to end the night with my husband. On Wednesday I met my sister with all the kids in tow for coffee and then we had lunch at Denny's. It was good and the kids were great. After Denny's we took my hubby lunch and then off to ice skating. Jeffery took two laps around the ice rink holding onto the side of the rink and then finally ventured out on his own around the rink with my niece (who I think he still harbors some puppy love for more on this later). Ashley spent a lot more time around the edge of the rink however finally persevered and actually ventured across the ice a few times....although very very slowly. She still held on the majority of the rest of the time. But what can I say for first timers they were not too bad.

Now back to the Ashlynn/Jeffery thing. Back when Dennis and I were first dating we took the kids on a trip to Laughlin Nevada. Ashlynn and Jeffery pronounced at that time that they were Boyfriend/Girlfriend. Sheesh Dennis and I had been dating for three or four weeks at that time and had not made that announcement....let alone these two who had known eachother for about 36-48 hours...>Darn kids I tell ya! Anyways...Once Dennis and I got married....they learned...UH OH....they are now cousins....hmm makes it hard doesnt it. So jeffery told Lynn that he found another girlfriend last week....Not sure exactly what's going on with that...But hell it's cute anyways....
