Memories
I found this picture that we took last year at Christmas. O how I love trying to take family pictures. Miranda is behind me trying to get them happy so that she could get in too but that never happened. (The picture at the top of the blog)
Ready for SPRING!!
How many more days til spring? For the last two weeks we have had some kind of sickness in our home. The kids had the stomach flu last week and this week I have the worst sinus infection ever. I have gone to the doctors twice now and even had a shot in the bum, which was very painful! I get these a lot but never this bad. I was in bed for three days and still want to be there. James did take off from work and said he would again for me but I must get back in the game.
Last night around 12:30 we had to take Brendyn to the hospital because he wouldn't stop screaming and crying. Because he has little communication about what is wrong with him this is usually what happens. James and Brendyn arrived home around 3:30a.m. and Brendyn has an inner ear infection and an outer ear infection! Poor baby. He does really well with ear drops so they gave him some of those with anti-biotic which he will not take, but will at least put one drop in his mouth. That is a big improvement for him. So this morning I got up and took the kids to speech so daddy could sleep in.
Wow how much life changes when you have children! They don't ever tell you that you won't ever get time alone again(by yourself or with your husband), when your throwing up you still have to make dinner and give baths, kids will still scream and cry when you have a migraine, because they think it's funny when your eyes do that crazy thing. I can't remember the last time I got a shower to myself(or go to the bathroom)...wait I couldn't sleep Saturday night so around 3:30 a.m. I took one. OK so I can't remember when I got to take a shower during regular people hours. Or when a trip to the store should take only take 20min and ends up being an hour and a half because your child decided they really wanted that toy and because they can't have it is going to let the entire store know how they are feeling. Good times!
Even with all the craziness at times I wouldn't trade it for anything. I love being a mommy and a wife and I am already worried about my "empty nest" I will soon have. It seems silly to think about that but it will be here faster than what I want, then again my children are fighting so maybe it can't come soon enough :)
On another note at the end of the month I am getting my scrap booking room and walk in pantry!! I think I am more excited about the pantry. The builder we have been working with is great. He will also put in new closet doors upstairs and tear down the wall going upstairs and put in a just a rail with spindle's ( I think that's what they are called). I am hoping that way it might open the front entry way. Then we will get new carpet and repaint. After that we should be finished with the house. OK I was wrong we still need to build the screened in porch, but I think that will be next spring.
Anyway the kids tell me they are hungry so I better go feed them. I hope you all have a wonderful night!
