Running Around

So today started off pretty lazy. We let John Michael sleep until he woke up on his own so that he would get as much rest as he needed and so that we could check out his rash. This meant we all just sort of laid around trying to be quiet.

When John Michael got up the rash was pretty much gone. There was one little spot on his leg. I was amazed. We watched him throughout the day and he did great and it all went away. We went on and did the Benadryl again today, since it was still there this morning and the nurse said 12 hours without it and then he should be good to go. Hopefully he will not need anymore.

We do think (at least we hope) we know what he got into. Friday is when Brandon moved the TV. Since he hung it and he wall it is on is an exterior wall there was more insulation and all that fun stuff. It started on his hands and we think he must have gotten into some of that somehow. Praying that is it and that he is at the 100% mark tomorrow.

Also praying for green smileys all week...All month would be even better! I have told him that I will take him to Dairy Queen for an ice cream treat if he gets green smiley faces all week. We shall see what happens, but I know that he can do it.

We went to mom's for a late lunch early dinner. She made roast, carrots, mashed potatoes, gravy, turnip greens, and corn bread. It was very good. I do not remember the last time that she cooked like that, but I am glad that she is getting back into the habit. Margie, Logan and Mackenzie also came to eat. The kids all had a blast playing, and when they are happy I am happy.

Brandon and I ran to the store to get the stuff for chili tomorrow night and the boys stayed at mom's. It was definitely nice to get in and out of the store for under $50, something not possible when the boys are with me.

Danny went to visit Grandma, Uncle Kenny, Uncle Donnie, and Uncle Patrick. He went to sell some more popcorn for the cub scout troop. He is getting closer and closer to that $500 mark. I hope that he does not stop there, I am super proud of him for all that he has done to get it sold. Hopefully Brandon will remember to take it to work this week. We will see it could be next week.

While Danny was selling he also got the foam finger and claw that Uncle Kenny got for them at the National Championship Game in January. The boys are super pumped that they have them and cannot wait for the next game so that they can wear them. WAR EAGLE!!!

Well, we are home and the boys have eaten again, bathed and in bed so I am headed there myself. I will say a prayer for you all.

Lazy Tuesday

We have been in the house since Sunday afternoon. Wow! I love my family but the mess is bigger now than it was post Santa Claus I think. It is all good though I will be able to get it back in order. Plus we still have to get the Christmas stuff up. We always wait until the weekend after the epiphany but this weekend we were getting ready for snow/ice. Oh well, Christmas decorations are pretty joyful.

Danny has to be at school tomorrow at 10:00 am. The good thing is if he cannot make it the absence will be excused. I do not know if I will be able to get the van out of my side of the garage. John Michael is out again. He is pretty restless. He is like his momma loves summer not so much winter. Danny does not mind the cold. The ice was not thick enough for all of the sledding today so we were pretty much inside most of the day. I am looking forward to the sun coming out tomorrow and even though it is going to be freezing again I am hoping it dries it up.

I am also hoping that Brandon's place of employment, I would put the name, but I know how they work and I do not want them holding my words against Brandon, will see that delaying opening again is a must for tomorrow. Brandon had to go in this afternoon as they opened at noon, and it took him an hour to make what is usually a 15 min trip. His way home he said that it was worse, black ice was definitely in abundance. Hopefully they will show that their employees matter and that Christianity is not all that they preach, but they also practice. We shall see. I will continue to pray for anyone who is traveling or has to while the roads are as nasty as they are.

Well, celebrating the National Championship has really been a lot of fun. I wish that I could be in Auburn, and if the roads were not bad we might have made the road trip, but safety first especially since we have sweet boys. I love my Auburn Tigers and are glad that they made it home safely! When we woke up this morning Santa had come to take the elves and Aubie back to the North Pole, but before they left they rolled our house. I am so glad that they brought a little Auburn to us this morning, it was great and the boys absolutely loved it!

Before I go to bed tonight I think of all the people who are being so dangerous on those roads, remember you are not the only person on them and be safe! As always my friends and family will be in my prayers. I love you all.
