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.

Frantic Friday

Well, today I feel human at least. This is a good thing since I have had two days of doing nothing. I need to get back into a routine.
Brandon is off today which means that he will be busy trying to get thing done. The TV moved to the other end of the living room is his current goal. I hope that he succeeds. I know that it will be nice having it down there. We shall see.
I have started this early in the day so I will update on progress tonight. I also plan to get my pictures uploaded so that I can get them into the posts. I am so far behind on everything that it is just sad. Everything will go better soon! I am not going to allow for another option.
Today was the 8th graders Snack Attack Fundraiser. The boys' of course were super excited to be a part of it. They each got a pack of skittles, a pack of sour punches, and a Gatorade. Danny saved his until he got home, but John Michael could not wait to dig in.
John Michael got his first ever red face today at school, which means a lot of trouble at home. He has spent time in the corner, and is super grounded until further notice. He has to learn that this will not be tolerated at school or at home. Hopefully it will not happen again. He kept saying that he was not the only one, but I told him I did not care. And I don't. I expect my boys to behave. I think he knows that now. I hope so anyway, I do not like sad days.

So we are getting ready for bed and as I put John Michael in the tub I noticed all of these places on him that look like bites. They also look like a rash. Not sure what is going on there, but if they do not get better over the weekend I guess we will start next week with a doctor's appointment.
Danny is working on his room until bed time. He wants his friend to come spend the night next weekend, but I need his room to be clean for that to happen.

I am super excited that even though I was down for 2 days laundry is caught up as soon as I get the last load out of the dryer. YAY! Now if I can keep up with it through the weekend we will be on a good start for the week ahead.

Headed to bed sooner than later. Know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. I hope that everyone has a great weekend. Can you believe that this is the last day of September. I am super shocked. October is my favorite month though! So many good things!
