Started a New Years goal early...

I bought a journal.

And I am loving it. I write down memories, thoughts, goals or dreams and its a really good place to "vent". I recommend every mom has one on there night table or anyone for that matter. I don't write in it every day, just when I feel the need to jot something down!!

Happy writting.

Yay, he's doing it!

Potty training is going great! Of coarse we have the odd accident here and there but my little man is doing so good. I am way to nervous to leave the house yet with just undies on him but one day we will do it! So nice only have one in diapers ;-)

Yes I did it again

I changed my blog {again} but don't you just love it?? And I added a little thing at the end of each post so you don't have to leave a comment if you don't want to, you can just click on lame, interesting or if you love my post! Makes things a little fun!! But I still love to get comments {hint hint}.

I want one of these...

And I could use another one of these for a back up!!



Family pictures

We finally got some family pictures done. It was well over due. I was going to hire someone to do some family photo's for us but why not just find someone to run my camera and take some for free. So I drug my sister out, threw my camera in auto and let her snap away. It was very windy and cold but there were some that turned out great! Thanks lil sis

Where is the light

at the end of this dark tunnel?? So let me take you back to last week.
I started to potty train my son and the first few days was rough. The 3rd day was going great, no accidents all morning and then I went down to check on my son and he was just laying in a puddle of his pee on the chair and didn't want to get up. I sat him on his potty while I cleaned up and glanced over at him and the poor thing looked so ill. I got him all cleaned up and laid him in our bed and he fell asleep instantly. I kept checking on him and he was so hot to the touch. He defiantly had a fever and was getting sick, and fast. When he woke up I gave him Tylenol and then searched for my thermometer but no luck (its still missing in action?). I chatted with my mom on the phone and she bought a new one and brought it over.

His fever was high. And this was 45 minutes after he had medicine... So that night was rough as well. I got up with him at about 4:30 in the morning and stayed up. The next day he started to vomit around the house and was so sick. Finally I decided to take him to the walk in evening clinic. As we walk in the doors the waiting room was packed with people and 80% of them wearing masks. It really did freak me out. He was to little to wear a mask so they put us in our own little room to wait. He couldn't even stay awake. We waited and waited and waited and finally my hubby got off work and came and waited with us. The doctor checked him out and usually he doesn't like doctors and would cry when they come near him but he wouldn't even move. He just sat there totally lethargic with red eyes inside and out. He had influenza and every sign of H1N1. So she put him on Tramiflu right away. He wasn't allowed to be around anyone so my hubby took him home while I got the meds.

We told the doc about our little peanut at home and she said it would be nice if he could be in a totally different house while my oldest is quarantined for the next 7 days. WHAT?? And she told us we had to wear masks around him. So I called my mom, packed a bag for my little baby boy and shipped him off to grandma's house. Good thing!! The next morning I woke up with a sore throat. Then it hit me like a ton of bricks. I was so cold but sweating hot, couldn't stop shaking, was so weak, my whole body ached from head to toe and I just couldn't stop crying. I hurt!

Finally I called my hubby in the late afternoon and asked him to come home. I was so sick. The doctor that my son saw the night before had called to check up on him and I told her it was my turn now. She was so kind and sent in the prescription over the phone for my hubby to pick up. So I was stuck in my bed for 3 days, could barely eat, couldn't stay awake, couldn't stop puking, just sicker then I have ever been before. Then my mom calls and my little guy is starting to get signs of the sickness. She didn't waste any time with him (he is only 7 months old) took him in right away and got him put on the same meds. She offered to keep him anyways because hubby had us other 2 sickies to look after. Well once I could finally drag myself out of bed and get in the shower and eat a little more I jumped at it. Since then I have had no energy at all. Everyday is random, some moments I feel so yucky and others I feel I am doing great. Its so touch and go right now. And it feels as though I have gained a head cold too. So I am trying to take it easy still and get my life back in order. Its so hard just sitting around while there is house work to be done. It took me all day yesterday just to unload the dishwasher and try and clean the kitchen. I have to go sit down every 10 minutes. I was exhausted just making a simple salad last night.

My husband and family have been such a big help. My mom for taking care of my baby boy. Which now my mom is sick (sorry mom). And my hubby for stepping up and doing everything around the house and taking care of us. And then my wonderful sister who is going to do my grocery shopping today since I cant leave the house yet. Oh and the boys seem to be doing great now. My little Gage is done his meds today and Maddox is back to his little smiley self. And he is crawling now!!

So I wish that none of you get infected with this wonderful germ that is floating about. I know I have alot of friends sick right now with the same thing and I know how your feeling! No fun.

Take care my little germ infested creatures!!

Germs

are everywhere! We decided to not get that h1n1 shot or the flu shot and then my oldest boy gets a fever today and isn't looking to good. Oh what fun times right now. Maybe I will put us in lock down in our house for a month. On another note I started to potty train Gage and the first 2 days were rough and then it started to go great the 3rd day with no accidents and then his fever hit so he got to go back in diapers cause its kinda tough potty training when your son doesn't want to leave the bed, poor little guy. I only hope that my baby boy doesn't catch anything!

Busy!

is really just an understatement. This past weekend we had a wedding in Camrose to go to so we went to Edmonton as well and stayed with my sister-in-law for the rest of the time. It was a busy weekend and I was glad to get back home and spoon with my own sheets. I have also been
  • finishing my painting (almost done and its looking great)
  • editing photos (staying up until 2am to get some done)
  • taking photos
  • building and designing a new website for my photography
  • unpacking and cleaning house
  • getting ready for my big birthday party on Saturday
  • cleaning house some more...

Oh and its only Wednesday and I still have all this to do

  • get hair done
  • get some more ink done (Friday)
  • get a fill done on my nails
  • pack the boys up for the weekend
  • clean house some more
  • shop for food for Saturday
  • probably clean the house some more, right up until people get here.

It will never end! I pick up toys and my 2 year old is right behind me throwing them back on the floor. Can't wait for a night off and to totally let loose. Be sure to watch for pictures from my b-day party.
