Okay so "16 and Pregnant" (I know, I know...) just makes me shake my head. Still, I can't look away.

I feel like it really does glamorize teen pregnancy. Out of 7 girls, only ONE gave her baby up for adoption....the other six chose to keep them. Not that there is anything wrong with that...but I think a show aimed at young people like that should really explore the other options more. Our of 7 girls, only ONE did not have the daddy in the picture. I don't think that is the norm AT ALL. For the most part all the couples appear to be happy and just sailing along fine. Which, if they are...good for them...but I HIGHLY doubt it. Here is the most outrageous thing...out of 7 couples, NONE WERE USING CONTRACEPTION!!! WHAT THE HELL? Brandon and I were having sex at 16 (well, he was barely 17) and we used a condom every. single. time. Even though I was on birth control, I still didn't trust it. And rightfully so I guess because after we got married we decided to stop using condoms and trust the Ortho Evra patch and then hellllllooo, Emilie! But...condoms! They're so easy! I was just shocked that none of them bothered to do ANYTHING to prevent pregnancy.

And then on the finale special, an audience member asked them about their decisions not to breastfeed and all of them, even "Dr." Drew, were all, "IT HURTS! OMGZ it's like SOOO hard!" I can't say that if I were 16 and had a child, I would be emotionally prepared enough for everything that comes with breastfeeding, especially when there are difficulties...but come on. SOMEONE on that stage could have said *one* good thing about it.

I do have to say though that I *love* the couple who gave up their baby for adoption...as well as the adoptive parents. Okay....I need to head to bed. It's after 1a.m. and I have to have Hannah at the eye doctor for 8:15. By the time I factor in driving there and finding parking at Womack (almost impossible), we should leave here by like 7:35 at the latest and THEN if you factor in getting the girls up...getting us all dressed...giving them breakfast...well, bottom line is I am already hating myself.

Can't get that vid. to embed...

I just cut a couple people...no hard feelings I just didn't feel like we clicked or had much in common anymore. Also, open invitation if anyone feels the same towards me and wants to cut me. I won't cry too much, I promise. ;)

For any of you on my list in the path of Ike (or with family members in the area), you're in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you are all safe and that the storm spares your houses. :( Hurricanes suck.

So the swollen lymph node in Hannah's neck....I think I need to take pictures of it daily. Now now....this is to STOP me from obsessing over it. If I don't document then I will convince myself it's getting bigger even if it isn't. I got the chance to read up on the condition today and yes, it is very common. I didn't know of her having any infection or cold...but she's pretty much ALWAYS got a runny nose and has had a cough for a while so, could be. It's just freaking me out because, even if it is normal and typical...I've never seen it before (and not in one of my babies!) so it's just freaking me out a bit.

Brandon and I have this new arrangement where I get up with the kids and let him sleep in. After a couple hours when I start getting sleepy, I get him up and *I* get a nap...then some time to work on my signs. I don't know why I love naps so much (I wish my kids loved them as much as I do!) but, that's my heaven. It's working out really well!

Last night he cleaned the kitchen...I mean SCOURED it. I picked up and organized the kids' toys (a BIG job....they have millions, I swear.) I asked Jill to do the bathroom and Grace to do that floors. Jill went to fucking bed without doing shit...Grace swept the few square feet of exposed tile in the den and swiffered...that was it. I'm SO SICK of this. We need orders like yesterday....please please please. Brandon can't get in touch with his recruiter which is just AWESOME! Isn't it kind of their job to be accessible pretty much any time?

I really need to run to Micheals today to get a canvas and a couple things for an order but schools around here have been called off today for flooding and winds from Ike so I have no clue if it'll be open or not...or if I want to venture out in this weather. We just had tornado sirens go off and I put on the news to learn that we're under a tornado warning. NOT FUN!

Anyway, I should go. Happy Friday, everyone!

We heard from Brandon...he's safe. I was so happy to see his name on the screen when the phone rang! We may leave here as soon as tomorrow...Brandon may be able to join us. I cannot wait to see him. This entire time, Emilie has been talking about her daddy and wanting her daddy and let's go see my daddy. She also keeps asking to go home. :( I've just been telling her we're on a fun trip and we'll go home soon. We're going to go back to MS and possibly stay for a bit until we can confirm that we have power again at home and Brandon may go ahead to make sure things are really okay before we bring the kids back. As far as we know, our house and my in-laws' house is safe. I am so relieved words can't even express. I haven't had contact with my mom in a while...her cell is not working. My dad and sister say they are fine, though.

Thanks again for all the good thoughts!

I just wanted to let everyone know that we did get out and we are okay.

We went to the camp in MS but decided we didn't feel safe enough there, so yesterday we moved again and found a hotel right outside of Birmingham, AL. It took us about 10 hours to get from Hattiesburg, MS to Birmingham, AL....look at a map. It should NOT take nearly that long. Traffic was horrible. Anyway, we're in a hotel and we're safe...the girls and I are alright.

My mom is still at the hospital in St. Charles parish where we live, she says there is no power, some flooding started, and heavy winds and rains. They are expecting a major storm surge there and we are all holding our breaths that we have homes to go back to. I have no idea where we'll live if my mom's house is gone.

My dad, sister, and grandparents are in Lutcher, LA and are okay. They still have power but are starting to feel very heavy weather. So far everyone we know is safe.

I cannot get in touch with Brandon, though. The reports from Waveland, MS are that power is out, it's beginning to flood, and there have been tornadoes spotted in the area. He is RIGHT there in the thick of it so I am just sick to my stomach worried about him. Anyway...more later. I'm using someone else's computer.

Any orders that I have pending, I will obviously not be able to get to them for a while. Let anyone on you FL that has ordered from me know this as well, please! Thanks for all the prayers and thougths, everyone....we're safe and sound but very worried and anxious.

[ mood | frustrated ]

I've been cleaning now for over and hour and a half and it's STILL not done. It's DRIED ON everywhere. Add to it that when Hannah got up from her nap she was positively soaked in pee even though I changed her before I put her down. One of them needs to go ahead and throw up on me just so we can make sure we covered all the bases today.

I think I might die.

I just did a friends cut. Just people who either never posted or commented, I didn't have much in common with, or who I felt like I couldn't quite trust. I know I've been writing about some personal things lately and to be judged on it or get no input just isn't cool. So, that's it. No hard feelings.

ETA: Made some revisions. Not adding anyone back...sorry.
