Lazy

I have been VERY lazy about my blog lately. Just not in the mood to write, I guess. I don't have many exciting things to say..

Had a 'get together' at my house on Friday night. A couple of co-workers came and my closest friends. I got to meet one of my best friend's boyfriend's son. He is so cute! :) I'm just happy that Alissa is happy with her new man and his son!! It's good to see her smile again.

Benjamin had a friend spend the night Friday (it was suppossed to be Benjamin's dad's weekend, but he bailed again). They were great.. considering I had friends over and they didn't go to bed until midnight!! Benjamin had a few moments on Saturday at a pool party he attended, but eventually I think he recognized himself that he had had enough and was ready to go home. He was just too tired. He actually slept in the car on the way home and he doesn't ever take 'naps'.

It was Bug's birthday party today.. that was a lot of fun. She got a big jumpy thingy the kids could jump in, so the kids LOVED THAT!! Caden was hysterical.. He dressed up in a Hawian outfit and gave everyone a BIG laugh as he danced to the music outside!! If I get some pics of that I will post them!! :)

I'm missing Ryan and Cade right now. Ryan is in Japan and Cade has been at his mom's most of the week so I was happy to get Cade today and see him for a bit. . I had to take him back to his mom's, but that is okay because he needs to spend time with her too (That is if she is actually home). ... Ryan has been checking in every day.. he told me he got lost the other day because whatever city he was trying to get to is spelled only two letters different than the other and they took the wrong train or something like that! He comes home Thursday.. I can't wait to see him, but then he has to leave after the weekend to go back to Minnesota!!

I think that's it for now.. work is pretty good.. it's summer.. so it's more relaxed and I'm just enjoying my time!! :)

Guess that's it for now!!!

I'm Alive

Just letting everyone know that I am alive.. I haven't written much lately.. last week was a busy week.. I'll try to keep up this week.. shouldn't be too bad... Ryan leaves for Japan on Tuesday, early morning.. :(

So far, So good.....

Well, we finished Cade's room yesterday.. that was easy.. (whenever I say that I think of that stupid little button from the Staples commercial!!) It looks really nice and Cade actually probably feels like he has a room now :) I will post some pics when I get the camera back (It is out traveling with Ryan right now)

Today, I cleaned the carpets, put the rest of Cade's room back together, met some friends out, and went in the Hot Tub. Benjamin had visitation with his Dad tonight, so I had most of the day to myself. His Dad actually showed up for once, which is good because I don't know if he could take another let down.

I pulled a muscle in my leg. .and I don't know how I did it.. it must have been while painting yesterday.. I always wonder why it hurts so bad when you pull a muscle. ....I want someone to grab my ankle and just pull so I can stretch it out!!! :)

Hmmmmmmmmmm....I guess that's about it.. I have no interesting stories to tell and nothing wonderful to say and I don't want to bore you.... I have 5 days until Summer School Starts, and I am actually somewhat excited... Summer was fun last year and I hope it will be a good change of pace.. this year of teaching was TOUGH!!

Hot Hot Hot!

Well, this weekend it was HOT!! That's what I can say about that.. and a little scary at times!! The winds were high and the storms nasty at times.. Trees are everywhere...but well..it was all cool at the same time.

I didn't do much this weekend.. Lots of family time, which is awesome. We took the boys to the Driving Range and hit some golf balls. We then did a lot of miscellaneous things at home!!

What's this about tomatoes carrying salmonella?? I love tomatoes.. They can't stop serving them.. how about some soap and water.. and WASH THEM??!! or stop growing plants with chemicals and poop!!??!! ;) I love tomatoes.. this is not good!! :)

I have the next week off.. I am going to paint Cade's room.. take the boys downtown to a museum and well... that's about it.. the rest.. going to work out and enjoy my time off!!!

Finally Feeling Better

Well, I didn't escape the lovely flu that traveled around our house this weekend. I thought I might, but I didn't.. Yesterday afternoon it hit me.. OUT OF NOWHERE!! It was gross..... For two days I've been curled in a ball because my stomach hurt so bad, and then my back and legs from being dehydrated. No matter what I put in my mouth.. it came out.. At around 5pm today, I finally started feeling better.... hmmmm... well... we'll see how long it lasts!!

Hmmm....not a whole lot to say except I got a lot of sleep and I still don't feel 100%.... :) Benjamin seems to be doing well. Ryan went to Minnesota this week...he was sick too, but felt better yesterday.....ummmmm.. yea... Now I am just rambling.......:)

Puke and Poop

This weekend wasn't too bad.. Took Benjamin to a Chicago Rush Game and taught him how to play a little baseball..

Caden was sick and puked all of Friday night and Saturday. I went to see Sex and the City the movie and came home to a house of icky smells...

Benjamin was fine until a few hours ago when he started crying that his ear hurt (this is the third time in 2 months... took him to the immediate care.. and sure enough there is still fluid in there. They suggessted we take him back to the ENT.... so have to make an appointment for that ASAP. As we were picking up Benjamin's meds.. he had to rush to the bathroom.. ick... then later when we had been home for a bit.. he puked... .

Ryan just walked in the door stating.. He just puked all over the front yard.......and at the same time got a call from Caden's Grandma saying Cade puked again tonight.....


I just wonder now.. .......when will it hit me.......ugh.......I called my co-worker and warned her.. .. the sad thing is.. we only have to work until Wednesday this week.......... As of right this minute..I bet I'll be home with Benjamin tomorrow... ...........unless Ryan has to stay home too......hmmmmm??!! To be Continued.......
