Rough morning this morning

- I think we are all just done with this school year and want it to be summer vacation! CJ came in my bed early!

Little man and Gman fought all morning long! CJ is still running a low grade fever! Called the doctors once I got the boys on the bus but since it's the same as what Little man has (sounds like it anyways), they want to give it one more day. CJ and I were busy all morning! We had to run to Wal Mart and I spent a ton of time getting paper work ready on the computer for my PTA meeting tonight! At one point after lunch CJ fell asleep in my chair and slept for probably 2 hours! Let my house at about 5:30PM to head to The Giant Eagle Express because that's where we were having the meeting since it was raining! We were there for 3 hours, but we got a lot accomplished!! Ugh - the PTA president thing is A LOT OF WORK!!! T got home from Ohio some time when I was gone - maybe just after 7PM. Once  the meeting was finally done I had to run to Wal Mart and get milk and pull ups!! Then is was home and bed for me!!

Happy Memorial Day!

Daddy left for Ohio and is going to be there all day through tomorrow! CJ wakes up and he still has a fever of 103.2! I drop S off at Memorial park around 9:30AM for a band performance and then I come home and start switching out the boys winter clothes for summer clothes and I start putting away all the laundry that has accumulated all week!! Picked S back up at 11:45AM and spent the rest of the day doing the clothes! Laura picked me up at about 7PM and we went to The Coney for drinks and to discuss PTA stuff!! We were out till a little after 9PM!!

Ugh it was kind of a weird day!!

I was kind of in a funk and a little bit of a bad mood! I got up and dealt with CJ - he is still sick and still running a fever of up to 104 without medicine in his system! I needed to make a menu and grocery shopping! I took CJ with me and that was a bad idea - he was whiny and it caused his fever to spike. While we were gone T and the kids cleaned up outside and they cleaned out my garage! Then T and S put the groceries away and went back outside. I spent almost the whole day working on my project life, I got week 19 finished! T went out and got us Domino's Pizza for dinner and it was pretty good. Then he went back outside and finished mowing. Once he was done we went to McDonald's and the kids got milk shakes while I got a hot fudge sundae. 

Then it was home and everyone (but CJ) got a shower and then it was bed time! I spent the evening watching CSI: NY while T worked on his laundry. It was almost 1AM when Tim and I went to bed!

So today was a pretty lazy Saturday!

I stayed in bed till after 10AM and it was so nice!! Then once I was up I worked on my project life! Daddy cooked lunch for us - he grilled out hamburgers. Then there was more scrapping! Poor CJ is sick - he is running a high fever and is complaining of his stomach hurting and being dizzy - I'm wondering if he had was Little man had a few weeks ago, mono!?!?! 

Rocking a 104.3 temp in this photo!!

I kept his pretty dosed up with Tylenol and Motrin all day! We were going to try and make it to the drive in, but CJ was just too sick! Then for dinner daddy went out and got us Domino's Pizza, it was pretty good! Then I sat in my office and watched Youtube video's and got caught up on this here blog!!

Totally lazy morning for me!!

I got up at 6AM and got the girl's lunches ready and then went back to bed. So when the alarm went back off at 7:30AM daddy let my stay in bed and he took care of the boys for me!! So lazed in bed all morning - I don't think I got out till maybe 9:30AM. Then I had cole slaw for breakfast and made myself so sick!!! I had pizza bagels for lunch - they were delicious!!

CJ started feeling real sick and started running a fever! Poor little man!! The kids came home from school and then I made dinner, I toasted the grilled cheese while S warmed up the chicken noodle soup! Then CJ and I spent the rest of the night in my bed cuddling! Daddy got home at about 8:45PM and then he put the boys to bed for me! Then I read for a bit more and then I hit the hay at about 11PM!!

Morning 2 of flying solo,

but again I made and easy lunch and breakfast for the kids! Little man stayed home again today because his fever is still up in the 100's but that didn't last long. Then on a whim I took Gman and CJ's, both of their's was in the 100's too. I think Gman's was even 101, but I just dosed them with Motrin and sent Gman off to school! 

Thinking CJ may have a chipped front tooth!!

Then CJ, Little man and I hopped in the van and headed off to CJ's farm field trip! We got lost and were almost late but I finally figured it out and we got there! It was so hot and so humid and so stinky!!! CJ loved it but I was miserable! Poor Little man stayed in the van the entire time (almost 2 hours). The highlight was that CJ got to see piggies and be the first one to ride a HUGE horse - he actually volunteered first - I was surprised!!! Then we came home and hung out for a bit. Then ran out and got the boys ice cream for Mickey's and a coolatta for me then to Giant Eagle to get my medicine! Then back home and I tried to work on laundry! The kids started coming home and I made pizza for dinner and then grabbed a shower. Then it was time for R and I to her band concert! I had S watch the boys so that I could go by myself. R and I got home about 9PM. Now I just baked a double batch (store bought pouches) of banana muffins for lunches tomorrow and now I'm headed to my bed to read and then fall asleep!!

Solo today

Woke up and did the morning routine solo today, thankfully I had easy lunches planned and easy breakfasts!! Little man is still running a temp so he's staying home from school today and I'm gonna run him to the doctors as soon as I get Gman on the bus. Speaking of Gman he is so excited, he has a field trip today to Vale Wood Farm - it's a dairy farm. He had so much fun and even got to touch a cow's "gutter" (utter), he described it as feeling squishy and rubbery!! We made it to the doctor's office just before the walk in clinic opened and they were already slammed! Ugh!!! But we didn't have to wait too long. They took a swab of Little man's throat but the strep test came back negative - after talking with him she thinks he might have mono - WTH!!! So if he runs a fever through Wednesday we have to go get blood work!! We came home and chilled the rest of the day! Once S came home I headed up to the track to walk, it was miserable - so hot and humid!!! Then it was home to make spaghetti for dinner. Grab a quick shower and then Gman, CJ and I headed out to S's concert! R stayed home with Little man. We were there till 9:30PM - it was soooooooooo long!! CJ finally fell asleep at about 9PM. The boys were really good though. We came home and I put the 2 boys to bed and then I headed to my room to read for a bit and then fell asleep myself!!!

Awwww, finally a day that I didn't have to get up!!!

It was freaking glorious!! I lazed around in bed till almost 9:30AM. Got up and ate some oatmeal! Then went outside and watched T mow the grass some. 

Organized the mess on my desk a little bit. Then at noon we went to go out to lunch but Little man had been complaining that he didn't feel well so we took his temp - 102!!! Looks like I wasn't going to be going to lunch!! So I laid in bed and surfed my phone for a while and then at about 2PM I promptly fell asleep and took almost a 4 hour nap!! Woo Hoo!! T had gone out and brought Pizza Hut cheese stuffed pizza home for dinner so I got up and ate two small sliced and then went to the track and walked for almost an hour! It was so nice and relaxing!! Came home and laid around for just a bit - it was almost 8PM so I just relaxed with the boys a bit and then it was time to put them to bed! I had an ice cream sandwich and now I'm gonna finish this and go to bed!! It was a great relaxing day!!

Car getting fixed today!! Woohoo!!

So we woke up today and got the girl's lunches packed and T made them breakfast! Then it was back to bed till 7:30AM. Got the boys up and fed, got lunched packed, CJ bathed and then I got them on the bus. I ran CJ into town to school and then I came back home and followed T into town. We dropped his car off at Buggy's (remember it's been making a LOUD grinding sound and he has been driving my van). Then we hit McDonald's for some breakfast!!

Then I hit Michael's and then Wal Mart to pick up some photos and a few groceries! Then it was time to head to CJ's school to pick him up!!! We got home and I had just made his lunch when T texted - his car was done! So we loaded back into the van and went to get him and drop him off - it was a ball bearing (?) and it had snapped!! They fixed it for free since it was just replaced 4 months ago and was under warranty!! Hooray!! Then CJ and I came back home and he was being super whiny and sniffling and coughing so bad that I finally took his temp at about 3PM - 103.4!!! Ugh!! Here we go again!! So I dosed him up and we just laid around!! T was just working in town so he said he'd bring dinner home around 6PM - it was Pizza Hut! After dinner we cleaned up the living room a bit and we had the bigger kids clean up the basement a bit and then it was time for bed!! I soon crawled in my bed after that and watched TV (Bones) till about midnight!!!

Winter sucks!!

Ugh this freaking weather is being a pain in the ass!!! We followed our usual morning routine and I got C to school and then came home and exercise! I went back out to pick him up and the roads are still horrible! 

Once we got in the van C asked to come home and have PB&J! Well by the time I made it home he must have changed his mind because he came straight in the house and went straight into my bed and proceeded to fall asleep! I laid with him and finally decided something must be up so I took his temp - 101.4!!! 

Started giving him tylenol and advil, but he was just miserable all day!!! I got a call at about 1:43PM - the schools were letting out a little early (2PM for S & R and 3:30PM for Little man& Gman) and I was fretting because I was suppose to help from like 4PM to 9PM at the father/daughter banquet - I really didn't want to leave S with all the kids plus a sick C and I didn't want to bring them and a sick C with me. Daddy had to go to New Brighton for pizza so I was worried! Thankfully the weather was so bad that they district made us cancel the banquet - I was relieved!! Then at about 6PM, I decided to head out and shovel the drive way - but it was too much so I thought I'd try and snow blow it, man was it hard!!! I got a little more the half way done and then our neighbor from right across the street came over and helped me finish!!! Daddy came home at about 10PM.

Another day to just wake up slowly,

today was a little earlier then a normal Sunday since it seemed like all the boys were up and loud at like 6AM!! Tim and I lazed till about 8:30AM and then he needed to get up and get ready for work!! Boo!! He had to go work in Somerset today because he had to work pizza on Friday and he didn't get down there and his boss is coming there on Monday! So once I was up and functioning I worked on putting the stuff from yesterday's shopping excursion away and working on Little man's valentine's! Then at about noon I decided I didn't want to make lunch so I told the kids to get dressed, I wanted to head out earlier but no one wanted to go with me so this way I didn't give them a choice!! We headed to Eat N Park and the roads were terrible, so slick! We waited like 45 minutes for our food and it was just - blah!! I mean the kids were good and what not but we all just wanted to eat!! Then we headed to Wal Mart and I got some new yoga pants and some new sports bras. I got some groceries for lunched this week! Once we left the weather was even worse and I had a tough time getting out of the parking lot, once we were on the roads it was only like one lane, but at least the lane was semi clear! We made a quick stop at JoAnn's and then headed home! I spent the rest of the afternoon sorting sequins and finishing up those damn valentines! Finally they are done and now all 3 boys are done!! 

At about 7:15PM I was griping at Gman to get in the shower and he was whining and belly aching and just being a crab (like he had been all day - his stomach hurt, his throat hurt, his nose was running, he was coughing, he was sneezing, he didn't eat dinner) and as I was hustling him in there I check him for fever and he was burning up - 101.3 fever!! No wonder he was a crab all day!! So no school for him tomorrow and I'm sure we will be heading to the doctors!! Now Tim got home at 7:30PM and went out to snow blow the driveway, he's in the room now working on some work and I'm gonna hit publish and head that way too!!
