It has been a week. Mike has been in Cleveland and won't be back until Christmas eve. I have tried to just keep on keeping on and it has been working so far. REALLY looking forward to him coming home.
Right now the kids are both sick. Cameron actually stayed home from school. I am going to try to send both kids to school tomorrow so hopefully they magically get better over night. I have the humidifier going AND the air purifier. I am sure they are canceling each other out but a mom can hope.
Trying to stay hydrated...this is my collection of beverages on my 3 hour trip to get the boys last weekend. I didn't have the juice box but still...4 drinks is a bit excessive
Looking at Christmas lights. We were not watching a movie in the car but Owen had the headphones on the entire trip. They loved looking at the lights but this was also the night they started to get sick. And on a side note...the DVD player is pretty awesome.
One morning this week Cameron decided to throw on a costume while we were getting ready. Typical.
Always by my side and ALWAYS shedding.
I received this gem in the mail yesterday from my mother in law. She wanted to make sure that I had a computer since Mike took the family computer to Cleveland. Soooooo grateful.
This is Cameron working on the teacher gifts last night. They were delivered this morning just incase the boys end up staying home from school tomorrow.
Cameron and I picked this up at BuyBuyBaby today. I think that he was shocked that I even agreed that we could get candy. **We had to buy a new thermometer....though he wanted to continue shopping at more stores***
Today my parents watched the boys while I went to the dentist and this morning they watched Cameron while I went to a doctor visit. GRATEFUL. Anyways, here is a picture of them watching the iPad while I figure out dinner. Cameron was organizing his gifts under the tree. ALL day he wanted to buy a gift for Owen. His love for giving during this season has been awesome. I am impressed with this little man on a daily basis.
1. FaceTime
I have been missing Mike and sitting down and doing FaceTime with him this evening has really helped calm my soul.
2. Card from a recipient
This week I received a card from one of the kidney recipients. I was extremely apprehensive about opening it but it actually made me very happy and gave me some peace.
3. $1.93
That is how much I paid for a gallon of gas today. Yay to cheap gas and Kroger fuel points.
4. Feb 4th
Hopefully that will be Jack's birthday. At least we know it won't be any later than that!
5. Starbucks
Though I am more awake right now than I should be for this time of night I am grateful that I treated myself to a Starbucks this evening. I was really dragging today after a long night last night with a coughing 5 year old. I used a gift card...but still...it was a wonderful treat.
