Hi You!
Well Today starts another week. Another week closer to home coming, another fresh start of a monday at the gym, and a whole new week of things to do!
This passed week was a bit of a headache for me. It was long, It was hard, and it was FULL of sickness. But it was also full of nice things, Like thanksgiving, A great friend who stayed the night, AND SKYPING with the husband!
We have been battling colds, sinus infections, ear infections, rashes, fevers, vomitting, you name it, we've crossed it this passed week. Although it was ONLY a week, it felt like a month! No lies,it was the longest week in history! We had been in and out of the Dr's offices, rite aid is in business because of me, and lysol became my right hand man! Sis was the one who was the sickest. She was the one with all of those things listed above. Slade suffered a sniffle nose and a slight fever.... oh man thats terrible in his book. But he also encountered his first "shart" so i guess he gets a free pass at saying he was "sick". his monster PJ's had to visit the dumpster because of the said "shart", so i became the worst mother alive in his book. Sis was a trooper...as always.... turns out it could have all been solved and nipped in the bud if the dr's would have listened to my mommy intuition. She is allergic to penicillin. So that is what caused her to be so sick. But a high fever, blistered rash, and 4 dr visits later, to confirm that my "mommy intuition" was correct. so No more CILLIN's for sis! Now that the kids are free and clear of germs, I get the privilege of getting a nasty cold, that feels like i swallowed a brillo pad and turned my head into a balloon. I guess its only fair tho. SUCK IT UP MOM!
Thanksgiving went well. The kids and I just spent the day home, cleaning, and decorating for christmas. We put up all the lights up outside and decorated a tad in the inside of the house. We rocked out to some christmas jams and baked the day away! we Made brownies and Fudge! and we even had some turkey pot pies to conclude or thanksgiving feast! We had several offers for thanksgiving, but since sis was sick and not looking to great, we just decided it was best to stay home and hang out. So i wasnt going to cook a huge meal for the 3 of us. PLUS once brian gets home, thats going to be our big thanksgiving since my parents will be in town. It will be great! SOmething i am REALLY looking forward too. But i cant complain because for my first thanksgiving away from brian in 10 years, it went really well. My kids show me how thankful i am.
Then this weekend, slades girlfriend Ali came to visit us. She stayed the day and night and it was awesome to just sit and chat with her. I had missed her! Slade had missed her, and she is just an amazing friend. One of those friends where you could go for a really long time without talking-- yet when you do finally get to talk, its like no time had passed. THOSE are the BEST type of friends. So thanks Ali, for coming out, It was nice to have you!
So with the "said" sicknesses, gym was a no go ALL week last week. So today i thought it was going to kill me once i stepped on the treadmill. but surprisingly it wasnt that bad. Aside from it being hotter than a sauna in the family room! The kids were shirtless and sitting still, and they were still sweating. How awful! I only did 2.5 miles. i walked the first mile and ran the last mile and a half. I was sweating from my knee caps if that tells you how hot it was!! But we were there, and thats all that i can ask for right?! I havent been in this good of shape since i graduated high school... Even then i dont know if i was this committed!! That feels pretty amazing. i feel the difference in my body. I dont get tired doing little stuff. I feel amazing and i have to say thank you to my friend Erin for pushing me. she gives me the encouragement to keep it up. Im having a good time going to the gym and i am loving the results I am seeing. ITs about time i focus on myself for a change!
Hubby's been in port this weekend, and it was amazing to see and hear him. We were blessed to be able to talk to him ALOT. You forget how much you miss just sitting and chatting. Its really nice to just sit and talk, and make lunch for the kids while he watches, and have the kids make him laugh, I couldnt ask for a better husband. Which by the way, Tomorrow marks our 11th Year together! How amazing is it that at the age of 14, i thought i was just finding my "boyfriend", and yet I found my soulmate. Someone to spend the rest of my life with. We have been through alot.... after all, we grew up together, thats alot to handle, but we are proud to say that we have never been an off again on again relationship. we have never broken up (officially!) We grew together, Its an amazing thought that i have only ever Kissed my husband! So babe, Happy Anniversary to you. I couldnt have picked a better boy to make my boyfriend! The 13 year old, Jnco jean wearing, dragon sporting, bowl-cut hairdo of a boy turned into the man I married!
So, My parents come out here in 7 days! slade has his countdown going! I have lots to do, and it feels like little time to do it! I have grocery shopping, clothes shopping, cleaning, arranging, just STUFF to do! It will be nice to have some visitors!
Well i think that about sums up this blog for now!
Have a great week everyone.
