Someone is feeling better...

Just chillin, watching some George…

Oh crap mama’s coming, I better get this chair off of the couch… 

Yeah, someone has been on the ornery side today!  The little man still has a cough and running nose, but the fever is gone, finally!  The little girl is hopefully at the end of hers…  And I’m about to do a little dance, make a little love, get down tonight…  The little girl only cried and fussed for about 10 minutes tonight before she passed smooth out, YAY!

Today has been a laid back kinda day.  I’m all about lazy  pajama wearing days!  A weekend that started out with a lot of plans, ended up being a stay at home, and try to get some rest kinda weekend.  

We do have a busy week here at our house.  But, I only have a four day work week, and will be enjoying another three day weekend come Friday!  Plus, my Aunt is coming to stay with us on Wednesday, and will stay for about four days.  I'm looking forward to the company, and much needed help!

Goodnight sweet angels!

My sweet little babies...

Today was suppose to be a day full of fun, spending the day with friends, and watching our kids have a great time together!  But, I was woken up to two very sick little ones.  The little man was up before the chickens this morning, crying & screaming…  I couldn’t believe how warm he was, as we snuggled on the couch together, trying to get him calmed down.  I gave him the normal dose of Tylenol, along with some homeopathic cough medicine.  The little girl also woke up in the middle of the night, as I watched her on the monitor I couldn’t believe my eyes…  She was jumping up and down, screaming and banging her hand against her bed!  Do ya think she was mad!?!   She did this for over an hour…  I finally couldn’t take it anymore and walked in her room to pat her on her bottom, to try and calm her down.  The energy this little one has just amazes me.  When she did wake this morning, after such an active night, she was running a fever, and you could tell she felt miserable!

My Aunt & Uncle got M this chair, and as you can see he loves it.  This was the highlight of his day!

To be honest, I don’t think either of my babies have ever been this sick before, especially the little man.  Usually when he is sick, he will run a fever for a day, but we are going on day three.  Yesterday his fever did break, but has since come back.  He has been throwing up most of the evening.  Everyone told me, once we got the kids in school, they would be sick every time we turned around for the first six weeks.  I figured they would get sick, but I had no idea it would seriously be every week we would be dealing with running noses, coughing, throwing up, and fevers!  My poor babies are truly miserable!  They both are extremely stuffed up, and you can smell the vicks as you walk up to our house, between humidifiers and vapor rub!  Their poor noses are raw from me sucking the snot out of their noses and rubbing/blowing their noses with kleenex.  My little angel has been in bed for over an hour, and she has been crying out every 10 to 15 minutes.  I wish come tomorrow morning, they would feel better and be over whatever germ they have this time around…

My Aunt & Uncle did come over this morning, and I was thankful for the help!  With me being up most of the night I was, and still am exhausted.  And having two little ones that are sick is very tiring.  They have both been very clingy, and don’t want to share mommy at ALL!  So needless to say, the little man hasn’t been too nice to his sister this evening.  I’m predicting that tonight will be another long night, and the little man and I will probably end up back on the couch like we did early this morning. 

Sweet babies, mama sure does love you two!  Hoping and praying for a much better day tomorrow! 

Goodnight sweet angels!

What was I thinking Friday...

I can’t believe how windy it was today…  I met up with the husband and kiddos for lunch, and thought I was going to blow away, when I got out of my car…  Luckily for me, I’ve packed on a few extra pounds in my thighs and rear, to help keep me grounded!   And I packed on a few more at lunch, for extra support so the 40 mph winds wouldn’t be able to carry me away…  I love me some food, and apparently it loves me too, since it has decided to stay camped out in certain areas.

Yesterday was a rough day for my little man.  We woke up to M & one of our dogs getting sick, followed by A getting sick.  I think A just throw up, because she didn’t want to be left out of the party!  The little man had a fever all day, and woke up with a low grade fever this morning.  But at lunch today, he was doing a lot better.  I hate when my babies are sick, but I do enjoy the cuddle time that I get.  My little man doesn’t like to cuddle that much, unless it is bedtime, then you might get a little cuddle time.  Baby boy is growing up, and doesn’t want to be bothered by mama wanting to snuggle.

My little angel kept the neighborhood up last night with her screaming for about 40-45 minutes.  I’m serious, she was screaming so loud you could hear her across the street!  I was hoping last night would be a little easier, but it was worse, she wasn’t happy camper at all.  At least she is doing better with her naps, she only cries for about 10 minutes when the husband puts her down.  I guess he might have to start putting her to bed too.  I’m truly not okay with all of this.  My favorite part of the day, is cuddle time with my babies.  I enjoy getting my little girl, taking her into the bedroom, rocking her while kissing her forehead, and telling her how beautiful she is and how much I love her.  Then we both pass out and sleep for about 30-45 minutes until the husband comes in and takes her to bed.   I want to be able to hold on to her being a baby as long as I can.  

It appears we have another busy weekend, full of family and friends!  My Aunt & Uncle are coming over in the morning, then we have a birthday party tomorrow afternoon, and then we might go out to the lake for hamburgers with the family on Sunday.  Shaping up to be another fun filled weekend!

My week wouldn't be complete, if I didn't poke a little fun at myself, and share with you my “what was I thinking” moments of the week…

•   Getting lost on your way to a wedding…  The bad part about this, because anyone can get lost, we had written directions and our iPad with us that told exactly how to get there.  Not to mention, we seemed to be the only guest that got lost that day.  So, I can’t blame it on the directions that the host sent us, now can I!  I have decided to blame the husband on us getting lost and taking the wrong exit since he was driving.  Forget the part, where I told him to take the wrong exit.

•   As we were leaving the wedding, we get halfway down the street and realize, we left the hatchback to the SUV wide open.  Again, I could blame this on the husband, but I was the last one back there, so I guess I should have shut the hatchback.  Not sure what was going on, the heat, I was tired, or the fact that we had a not so happy daughter at that point.  Luckily for us, nothing fell out.

•   Getting a clip out of my purse the other day, putting it in my mouth so I wouldn’t forget where it was while I pulled my hair back, to then look at my husband and ask where did I put my clip, with the clip still in my mouth.  It took me a second or two, to figure it out, SERIOUSLY!

•   Trying to get out of the car with your seatbelt on.  It doesn’t work, you truly do have to unhook yourself before you can get out of the car.  Don't believe me, try it for yourself, and then let me know how it worked out for ya…

•   Telling someone that the husband & I have been married for 10 years…  We have been together for 10 years, but only married 5 ½ years.

I would love to hear your “what was I thinking” moments of the week.

Happy Friday, and cheers to a fabulous weekend!

This little one is staring at me, I guess she is ready to go to bed...
 
Goodnight sweet angels!
