Sick

This morning Brandon just let me sleep.  He knew I did not sleep good all night and that I just felt bad.  It was nice to sleep in and the thing is even after I got up I ended up sleeping most of the day.  I slept outside in the chair, then inside on the couch.  It has just been a rough one.  When I was awake I was taking any cold medicine I could find.  Hopefully today is the worst day of them all and tomorrow I will be back to normal. 

Brandon spent most of the day working in the yard.  He got all but half of one of the flower beds done and that is because he ran out of pinestraw. 

I have a photo shoot at 9:00 in Hoover and then we have meet the teacher day. 

I also just had a prayer answered with a phone call.  I have been so worried about finances and having so far to go with the school and everything.  Debbie, the after school care coordinator called to offer me a job. I am definitely looking forward to it and I know that it is the answer to so many prayers.  We end up having hours to spare and I honestly had no idea how I was going to handle that.  This is a blessing and I am so thankful that it could work out with this as a part time job and then the photography still and the best part is that I would be able to maintain the same schedule as the boys have during the school year!
Definitely feeling blessed.  I need to call Mr. Wright tomorrow so I really hope that I am better because I sound so bad. 

Rough Thursday

So today was even worse for me than yesterday was. I really hope that I feel better soon. I do not like to feel bad, especially to the point of not being able to function. Going on two days of this kind of pain is not good for me or for my family.
We did not even go to soccer practice because of it. I know that John Michael needs the practice, but there was just no way I could have stayed.
We came home and John Michael had a yellow face from his teacher today. Yellow faces make me sad. Hopefully this will be the last. He is grounded until tomorrow when he better come home with a green face. I told him that is what would make me happy. I need to figure out a reward system for his behavior, maybe that will be the incentive that he needs. Something to think about when I can think.
Danny had a good bit of homework, which is common on Thursdays. These papers were by far the best yet. I am super proud of how good he is doing so far in third grade.
Well, I am off to bed. Praying for all of you and for me that I can actually get some much needed sleep!

Where's the Meeting

So today was a great day for the boys' at school. As always this makes me super happy. It was Mass day and I really wanted to stay, but I was feeling really rough so home and to bed I came. Actually I curled up in a ball in Brandon's chair!
It was completely unproductive for me, which is never a good thing. Especially considering how much I have to do.
We have made several trips to donation centers and yet the 80's style boom box I got for decoration for Brandon's birthday party is still in our living room. Crazy I know, the boys decided today that this was the best toy in our house and used it for DJing. Too cute is all I can say, they definitely made me laugh.
We were suposed to have a leader's meeting for cub scouts, but it seems that there are NO rooms available on Wednesday nights for us to do so. While I know some people are not happy about it this is out of my realm of control.
Well, I am off to bed. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

Slow and Easy Sunday

So today I had great plans, we were going to get up and head to Mass, then get some errands done then come home and knock out some things. Well, that is not at all what happened.

We woke up and I felt really really bad so I went back to bed. Danny was not feeling great either so I sent him back to bed. The hopes were that we would all feel better. Danny did, but mommy not so much. The thing is as mommy it usually does not matter too much how I feel. I had promised John Michael Krispy Kreme today and he was holding me to it.

Needless to say I caved, but I am a sucker when it comes to my boys and I did make the promise so I held good to it. The boys loved it and I was just glad to get home and back in bed.

Happy Birthday to my Mom...aka Nana

Well today was a mess. We woke up late AGAIN, but we still managed to get to where we needed to be and on time, which is always a plus. I wish I knew why we were waking up late though. We hoped to be in bed tonight by 9, but as you can see we did not make it.

Today is my mom's birthday! I hope that she had an amazing one. We all called her and she seemed to be having a good day. She is an amazing person, and she has been through a lot and truly deserves nothing but the best.

On top of everything else that was happening today I forgot about the Pinewood Derby that is tomorrow night, so we had to get Danny's car done. Well, Danny had to get it done. He decided on a Camouflaged car, that he painted. We used the hair dryer to get it dry so that it could be decorated, and the weight added. I am impressed, it is done. Now the race tomorrow should be fun. As soon as Danny races we will head to the ballpark, so we will not stay for the whole race, but I know it will be fun. I plan on getting in some pictures when we get there. I am hoping for one group shot. We shall see.

I got letters out to both the classes that I needed to get out. Well John Michael's will go out tomorrow. Danny's was sent via e-mail. Now to get the e-mail to the baseball parents for John Michael's team. Not to mention to the Cub Scout leaders.

To top it all off I just do not feel good. I do not know what it is but I want to curl up in the bed and sleep all day. If only that was truly a viable option.

Well, I am off to bed. Tomorrow is going to be crazy but I also know that it will be fun. I am up for the challenge, I just hope that I feel better too! I do not like feeling bad. Before I head off to bed I will say a prayer for all of my family and friends. I would also like to ask everyone to say a special prayer for my mom. She is a great person and needs to remember that she still has a life to live and if she will open her heart back up it will be an amazing one. I love you mom!
