TGIF

Woke up still feeling like crap! The runs had stopped and so had the cramps but I was nauseous all day!! I laid out in my chair almost all day while the kids swam and played! 

It was beautiful - warm and breezy with like no humidity, to bad I was feeling so bad!! It was hard to enjoy it!! T had to work so late too and it was terrible! I got like a whole book read and started another. I left the kids up and T finally showed up at like 9:30PM and put them to bed - then I went straight to bed too!!

Ugh, what a freaking terrible day!!

First off it RAINED all day and no one could leave the house or play outside! Then I felt fine when I first got up but around 11am I got sick!! D.i.a.r.r.h.e.a. all day and sever belly cramps!! I hardly left my bed - just to p.e.e./p.o.o.p. and check on the kids!! S made dinner and T finally got home around 7:30pm!!

Hump Day!

T was feeling terrible this morning so once we were done getting everyone ready and out the door he headed back to bed! CJ and I headed to EP to help Laura clean out and pack up the PTA stuff in A7! 

CJ found this fake flower in A7 and put it in my hair for me, then he took this photo so I could see it!! Hahaha!!

We were there till 11PM. Then Krista invited us to GH's for a playdate so we headed there! We played till 1PM. Then CJ and I headed to McDonald's for lunch! Once home I started filling out CJ's forms for pre-k (Mrs. Bradley had given them to me that morning at the school). S stayed after school because she had graduation practice and so we went to pick her up after the boys got off the bus. Once we got her I took the kids to Dunkin Donuts to get a treat!! 

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!!

Sleeping in, what's that??

So this should have been a great day to sleep "in" and a great day to laze around but it started out terrible! CJ kept coming into my room saying his belly hurt and he didn't feel good. He was whining and crying and I just felt terrible for him! All the sudden around 7AM he was like I need to puke! So we ran to bathroom and he proceeded to have the dry heaves off and on every 15 minutes till 10AM!! I felt so bad for him!! He would just cry and whine and writhe around in pain!! I felt so helpless because nothing I did was helping, bathing him, rubbing his back, rubbing his belly, putting a cold wash cloth on his head/neck!! He finally fell asleep at 10AM and slept till almost 12:30PM!! He was so much better when he woke up, he actually ate some and then drank some! Him and the two other boys went outside for a bit and then around 3PM we had to run into town to one of the local florist shops to see if they could identify this one plant for us - and they did!! Then we came home and I made left over ham for dinner and then I worked on cleaning up my desk a bit and then finally scrapping our zoo photos!! I also got two goodie packages in the mail today (cards from Alisa and mu paper issues order) so I spent some time going through those and sorting them and putting them away! Now I'm just waiting for T to get home - he spent all day in Ohio today and didn't leave there till after 7:30PM. Now at 11:18PM I want him home so I can hit the hay!!

Friday, I'm in Love!

So this morning started early - 5:45AM since the bus schedule is messed up because of EP being closed all weekend long. Thankfully I packed all the lunches last night so my job was so quick this morning!! Then it was back to bed until the boys got up! Once they were up T fed them and then headed back to bed because again he is still feeling sick! We got them on the bus and then it was time for CJ and I to get ready to head out the door to the dentist. Also T finally got up and got ready because he is heading to Ohio for the whole weekend to work at Marco's! So CJ and I made it into town and picked R up and headed just down the street to the office and it was lock, they were not there!! UGH!! So we piled back in the van and I called them - Dr. L is "away" and we are on the schedule for April 18th, SHIT!!! I messed up!!! *lol* So we quickly took R back to school and we headed to Dollar Tree and JoAnn's! Then we headed home and had a simple lunch (PB&J for CJ and a leftover hamburger for me) and then I spent the rest of the day finishing up week 12 of PL and then working on Gman's album - I'm almost done!! Yippee!!! The kids started coming home and then it was spaghetti and meatballs for dinner. The kids played off and on till almost 9PM when I put the boys to bed! The girls are soon to follow at about 10PM and once I submit this I think I'm gonna head to my bed and maybe paint my nails!!!

TGIF

R woke up sick and with a fever so no school for her today! T brought home Gatorade for her before he left town. I worked on laundry all day - like I did 8 loads of laundry!! T passed his 4th kidney stone. He was suppose to hear from work today about his "promotion" and they didn't call until like 3PM and it was not good news!! The owner wants to interview a few more people!!! UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!! So tired of this company jerking us around!!! So upset for my hubby who works his ass off and just gets pushed aside all the time!!! He had to work late tonight and didn't get home till after 9PM!!!

Feeling like Crap!

Ugh, so I totally woke up feeling like crap!! My head was killing me and my neck was stiff!! I through together the girl's lunches and then I headed back to bed!! When my alarm went off at 7:30AM, I just couldn't get up!! I just couldn't!! So T told me to stay in bed and he'd take care of the boys!!! So back to sleep I went!! He got the breakfast and got their lunches pack (although all he had to do was make the sandwiches) and got them off to school! I was finally able to "wake up" at about 9AM, but I laid in bed the rest of the morning watching Bones. Then I decided at about 11:30AM to jump in the shower and then CJ and I headed to McDonald's for lunch - oh yeah CJ is still sick so no school for him, although I was sure he was getting pink eye, but no goopy eyes this morning so I didn't call the doctors!! 

We ate and then I needed to tun to Wal Mart for brownies and pull ups! Of course today is the first day of spring and it's freaking SNOWING!!! So tired of this crap ass cold weather!!! On the way home - CJ started complaining that his left ear was hurting bad, especially when he chewed (I had given him some gum), ugh!!! So I called the ped's office to see if I could get him in, we got an appointment for 2:15PM. So I quickly tried to get my brownies baked, but I just didn't have enough time and I had to pull them out with still 10 minutes to bake - SHIT!!! So I covered them and we headed out the door! CJ has an infection in the left ear and they tested him for the flu - it came back negative but Katie didn't really believe it - she really thinks he has the flu - again!! So we rushed home and I put my brownies back in the oven and hoped for the best!! Then I got ready and headed out the door to run to bilo to grab some lunch meat for the kids for dinner! I came home, dropped it off and headed to the school to help with the father/daughter banquet. T left work at 5PM  and picked up CJ's medicine and then came home. We were done with the banquet at 8PM and then Laura, Cindy, Krista and I headed to Brunzies for drinks. We sat and chatted and drank till 10:45PM. Then it was home for me and straight to bed - I was beat!

Normal Day (is there any such thing)?

Normal school routine for the the girl's and the boys! CJ is still sick (and whiny), so before T left town for work I had him run to Wal Mart and get me some pedisure for CJ to drink! We spent most of the day hanging out in my bed, at about 2PM I noticed his eyes had big or goopy eye boogers in them - great hope he's not getting pink eye!!

I would try and clean them out and we would just cry and cry!!! I did spent a good chink of time in my office working on getting Gman's 2011 picture ready to go into his album - it felt great!! T left work at a reasonable time (5PM - ish) and finally passed his kidney stone (in a Sheetz's bathroom urinal of all place) and then he passed a second one - the first one was HUGE - like 10mm huge and was probably way to big to pass!! Once we got all the kids in bed we hung out in our bedroom (me watching Bones, him watching Vikings) eating ice cream!! Then it was nighty night time around midnight for me!

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!!!

New week!!!

Hmmm, let's see....today started out like any other Monday - T and I getting up and getting the girls feed and getting their lunches pack. Then we went back to bed and I actually feel back to sleep because it was till so dark because of day light savings time - HOORAY!!! Then the 2nd alarm went off and we started the morning routine all over again with the boys! Although there was lots of whining from Gman this morning because he didn't feel well and he didn't want to go to school! I took his temp and he didn't have one but the weird thing was his temp was actually really low - like 96.6!!! I sent him to school anyways and told him if he still felt bad to go see Mrs. Mauk and if she thought he was sick she'd call me to come get him!! Then once they were all gone CJ watched TV for most of the day and I worked on my project life. Although I did make time for a story!!

I made bacon cheddar mac & cheese for dinner. T came home fairly early - about 6:30PM and he showered Gman for me and bathed CJ. Then he put them to bed!! I just surfed the internet for like an hour and 40 minutes and right now I'm kind of tired so I'm going to go hit the hay!!

Is it Friday yet!?!?!

Hooray it's Friday!!! It was a normal "school morning", although CJ was quite fussy at breakfast and really only ate a few bites of his sausage muffin and about an hour later I found out why!! I found him in my bed under the covers whining and with a temp of 102!!! 

I gave him some medicine and he soon fell asleep and took a nice little nap!! We had been invited out for lunch at the Thai place but obviously I guess we weren't headed there!! Boo!! I worked on Gman's paper album most of the day and did a bit of towel laundry! Then as the kids started coming home, Gman started complaining that he wasn't feeling well, well he developed "a cough" a few days ago and sure enough he was running a fever too!! Thankfully they weren't too whining as long as I kept them medicated!! Although they were driving me nutso by the time 8PM rolled around and I was a little upset that T wasn't home yet to help with them! Ugh!! It was a long day!!!

No school today for the kiddos!!!

It's president's day but that's not why we don't have school - it's parent/teacher conference day and for the first time in my kid's school history I opted out of doing conferences today!!! But that didn't mean I got to sleep in, C is still like seriously sick and it was time for to take him to the doctors!!! So I loaded him and Gman in the van and headed out the door - man was it freaking COLD!!! Like -7!!!

So we got there and got right in to see the nurse practitioner (I think) and the gave C a strep test and a flu test - man he did not like the flu test (swab up the nose), he cried and cried and cried!!! One good thing is that his lungs are CLEAR!!! So we had to wait around a bit for the tests to come back - the strep test was negative and the flu test was POSITIVE!!! So we just have to ride it out and lots of liquids and lots of rest!! After the doctors we ran to Wal Mart real quick to get some more supplies and then we headed home, C and I literally spent the rest of the whole day in bed!!! S (bless her heart) made lunch and dinner for the rest of the kids! Daddy got home at about 7:30PM and we got the boys showered and then he got them into bed! I read for a while and then it was off to dream land for me - I was not feeling like 100%!!!
