I took Michael to see a new ENT today. I'm pleased with how things went but I dont know that I would have been if we saw him earlier than today. Michael's hearing is back to normal. YAY! He does still have some fluid in his ears but its not much. The fact that his hearing is back to normal means the fluid is draining on it's own. He said at this ( Read more... )

The boys stayed up to watch the fireworks on tv last night. About half way through they got up and grabbed their math workbooks. Who knew math was more fun than fireworks! Even after the fireworks were over they continued working. They've done work every day this week. Yay! Today I'm hoping to get them both to work on some handwriting ( Read more... )

I took Matthew to the doctor this morning for a physical. He hasnt gone for one in a while. He's 50lbs! I dont know where! lol He's 3ft 11in. The doctor walked in and stopped mid-hello to tell Matthew he liked the hair. lol Nothing to really report. We talked very little about Matthew actually. lol Most of the conversation was about him leaving and ( Read more... )

It's been an interesting week. Last weekend we were supposed to pick Mom's van up from John on Sunday. Bryan's mother called Saturday morning to ask if I could get in touch with Bryan and see if he can get a truck for her to use to move her crap out of her house and into his sisters because she sold hers finally. I made Bryan talk to her. We went ( Read more... )

Yay! No more school! I'm so thrilled! Today went well. Cathy picked me up at 7am and we headed to the school to set up. We were ready on time, under budget and had plenty of food and drinks for everyone. The kids enjoyed the bouncers, various games and face painting. It was a great success even with the rain that started a half hour before the ( Read more... )

I went canoeing for the first time ever yesterday. So much fun! I cant wait to do it again. I was so nervous about tipping over. At first it was because the water was COLD! But as we went on I could see GIANT rocks on the bottom of the river that looked mighty dangerous. Tony was in the canoe with me, Teresa and Katherine were on tubes and Bryan, ( Read more... )

Today is supposed to be a lovely 73 degrees and sunny all day. Down here! Up in Mio where we're supposed to go tubing/canoeing it's expected to be 58 and RAINY! YUCK! Teresa just called and asked me to stop at Tony's house to pick up chairs and an extension cord. Teresa wants me to bring her extra blankets. lol Michael went up with them last night ( Read more... )

There are 5 days of school left! Exactly one week from today! I cant wait! Hopefully being out of school with help with the crappy attitudes my boys have ( Read more... )

I'm finally starting to feel better. Last night and most of today was awful. I have whatever Bryan had the other day. Jacob was such a doll and snuggled with me most of the morning. We had a nice nap this afternoon. We fell asleep around 1pm and I expected it to only last 45 minutes like this mornings nap did but when I woke up it was after 3pm. ( Read more... )

Matthew stayed home from school sick yesterday. He threw up the night before and again before getting in the shower. He didnt say anything to us and just slept with his vomit covered blanket. :X I asked him why and he said he didnt want to get sick in our bed. Got the boys dressed to take Michael to school and Michael says he doesnt feel well. lol ( Read more... )
