Today I am one week post surgery. I am finally able to wipe my own butt and put my own socks on! I still can only wear pajama pants though, so going to tomorrow's 1st grade basketball game may be entertaining!
Carson got a purple card this week. A purple card is given out for exceptional behavior. This was something that never happened last year! He's got several this year, but it had been a couple weeks since he last got one. Mama was very happy about it!
JP is still at mom and dads, but tonight we are bringing him home for the weekend since Chris will be here to help with him.
It's a little over a week until Valentine's day, I have no clue what I am getting Chris or the boys.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Don't freeze out there!

Friday Free for All
It's Friday! Friday the 13th in fact. Oh, and a full moon! I'm not superstitious about it at all though really. I will say that the full moon does explain some behaviors in our hour this week though.
Jonathan has had his ups and downs this week. He actually slept from 11p-6a twice this week, which was awesome! The other nights though were brutal. He was up most of the night on Monday and Tuesday. I think he had a stomachache. I was at my witt's end by 10pm on Wednesday. He finally went to bed at 11 and stayed down until 6:30am! I was very thankful for that. We both needed the rest.
He bit Carson for the first time this week too. Apparently Carson went to the bathroom at my mom's house and Jonathan went in there with him. Jonathan bit Carson's arm at some point while Carson was trying to use the restroom. Carson was fine by the time I got off work you couldn't even tell where Jonathan had bit his arm.
Carson has had a pretty good week this week. He's consistently getting his medicine at the same time (shortly after I drop him off at my mom's) every morning and it shows. He is being nice, loving, and respectful! He's super excited to be traveling to Michigan with his daddy this weekend for a boys' weekend. They are going to the NASCAR race on Sunday. Jonathan and I will be staying behind.
The weather here this week has been cool and rainy. It's quite a change from the 90s and sunshine we had last week, but I'll take it! Perhaps a little less rain would be nice though.
Summer reading programs started last week and so far Carson has read 15 books to either myself, Chris, or my mom. He's doing awesome with expanding his reading skills. He has a new found love for "Walter the Farting Dog" books. They are funny and cute at the same time.
Next week is a big week for us. Father's Day Sunday, Chris' birthday on Monday, our 8th Anniversary on Tuesday, and the local town festival (which I help plan) on Saturday!
I will have a few posts next week too, so stay tuned for sappy love stories!

I know, once again I have been slacking on the home front, lol. Truth is, I've been outside enjoying my time with my family. AND training for another 5k tonight! Yes, I am running a night glo 5k! I can't wait to share the experience with everyone.
This weekend is jam packed with activities. Tonight, I run a 5k. Tomorrow, Chris runs the Illinois Marathon, half marathon. I am attending the Great Cloth Diaper Change. Then Carson is running his first race, the Christie Clinic Illinois Marathon Kids Run! He is so excited to be joining daddy and I doing something we all love.
Yes, Running is life for us now...and that's ok! I especially appreciate the BOB stroller I got a couple months ago now that we all can go run together.
As for life lately, here's the scoop!
Carson has been doing fantastic at school since starting the new medication. I wish we didn't have to medicate, and we may be able to stop it in the future, time will tell. He starts T-Ball next week and is super excited for that!
Jonathan is doing great, I wrote a post about him yesterday actually. You can read it here.
Chris and I have been busy at work and busy training for our races this week.
Sorry it's short this week, I am swamped with things to get ready for the weekend. Oh by the way, keep a look out for a new giveaway opportunity on the blog on Monday! Happy weekend!

This week has been a little quiet around here thanks to this:
That would be my husband, holding Jonathan in the pre-op room on Wednesday. Yes, Jonathan had surgery. Nothing major, just tubes in his ears, but it has made for a busy snuggly week. All we did Wednesday when we got home was snuggle and nap off and on all day...It was great! He's back to normal Jonathan now, which is wonderful after the past month of illness!
The night before he had surgery Chris and I took Carson to Family Reading Night at his school. They had activities, snacks, and a book swap. We could take old books, redeem them for tickets, then redeem the tickets for "new" (to us) books. Carson absolutely loved it and it was great to get time with just the three of us.
In 8 days, I will run my first official 5k! I can't wait! I have been walking or jogging every day lately to get ready for it. I even go to the gym or walk around town on my lunch break. I'm serious about losing my muffin top!
Last night, the boys and I did yard work and played outside, it was wonderful! The sun was shining and it was in the upper 50s. Today's weather is supposed to be nice and warm, then the bottom is going to drop out and their talking of snow again next week?!? Go away Winter! I'm ready for Spring!
Hope you all have a great weekend!

How is it already Friday again?! I swear I just wrote last week's post!
This week has been busy and stressful for us. On Monday, we took Carson to his pediatrician to address his behavior problems. Tuesday, I had to be the mean mommy and take him to have his blood drawn :( It was worth it though. As it turns out, he DOES NOT have ADHD as we suspected. He actually has extremely low iron (ferritin) levels, sleep disturbance, and anxiety.....profound anxiety. When we returned the questionnaire to the doctor she was floored by our (and his) answers. A normal score is less than 25. Anything over that is suggestive of anxiety disorder....Carson's score??? 54....FIFTY FOUR!!!!! He's always been a very nervous, worrisome child, but I will get into that more in a separate post next week.
Jonathan has been doing well, thank goodness! He's trying so hard to walk already...he needs to slow down! He also wants to try to feed himself everything he can reach.
Chris and I are doing well also, both busy with work of course, but doing well. I traveled 115 miles round trip for a work conference on Tuesday and sat on a 5 hour long conference call on Thursday.....fun times!
The weather here has been crazy again....Sunday it was beautiful and 45 degrees outside. I let Carson go out to play in the mud! Then Monday and Tuesday there was no school due to the temps being frigid and the wind chills being -25 to -30! Mother Nature is drunk and needs to go to rehab, lol.
Anyways, that's our week in a nutshell. Busy, overwhelming at times, and full of twists and turns.
How was your week?

This week has been pretty quiet for us overall.
Jonathan had to go back to the pediatrician Monday. He'd been coughing still, had ear drainage and was pulling his ears. Sure enough, he has an ear infection in his right ear still. So, he's now on his third round of antibiotics since Early Mid December. Unfortunately, this medicine is rough on his stomach, so we aren't using our beloved cloth diapers for the time being :(
Carson had his half birthday at school yesterday. Since he has a summer birthday, he gets to celebrate his half birthday at school with his friends. We took cupcakes and treat bags for his class. He tried to tell me that we had to have a party at home too, which I found funny. I told him no, so he decided he would talk to his meme about it, haha! Tomorrow he starts Bitty Ball (basketball for elementary kids), so that should be interesting, as he's never played before. I'll be sure to update you on this next week!
Chris is busy working out and training for his Ironman this week. He's gone to the gym almost every single night this week.
I've been super busy at work this week, and am looking forward to this weekend!
That's all for this Friday folks! Hope you have a great weekend!

Today I'm bringing back a post from the past that somewhere along the line got lost. This weeks post will be short and sweet :)
It's Friday....Thank goodness!
Work
This week has been crazy for me. Monday and Tuesday I did vision and hearing screens on children ages 2-5 during the local Preschool screenings. Let me tell you....that was very....trying. Yes, that's a good word for it. Wednesday I drove 110 miles round trip to participate in a grant required, 20 minute drill. Thursday was a day of getting lots done, and hopefully today is too! There's been lots of public health cases to deal with this week, so I'm hoping today doesn't bring any new ones!
Home
Sunday night during the Super Bowl our kitchen sink started leaking into the basement....apparently old pipes from the 50s don't last forever, haha! But Tuesday night Chris and dad replaced the pipes under the sink and I'm so happy it's fixed. It's hard to do anything without a kitchen sink!
Lil man has been battling a fever since Tuesday. Thursday we went to the pediatrician and learned that once again he has strep throat :( Fevers of 102-103 make this momma uneasy. Hopefully he starts feeling better this weekend.
Wednesday night Chris and I went to a Matchbox Twenty concert....that's a whole other post in itself! AMAZING!!!!!!
Pregnancy
I'm 22 weeks! I posted an update earlier this week with more details. I'm so glad I am finally feeling good. Can't wait for June to get here.
It's Friday....Thank goodness!

Gram- My grandma is doing good and is back at a nursing home for rehab. I think she has 9 lives! She's a fighter that is for sure.
My boys- The hubs had 5 teeth pulled Friday and ended up with a dry socket :( he had it packed today. Hopefully he can still get his spacers for his braces next week! Cman has been battling a darn cold or sinus infection. He sounds terrible, but is super snuggly at bedtime :)
Work- Has been so crazy with flu clinics! Get your flu shots people! Vaccines save lives!
Pregnancy- Well, Morning sickness has found me this week. I've been miserable more days than not since Sunday. It was like a switch flipped and morning sickness went from 0 to 100 over night. Still trying to find a remedy that helps. I had my first legit craving this week too....chicken nuggests. No lie, I had to drop what I was doing and go get chicken nuggets in the middle of my day! haha! (By the way, if you missed the announcement of our new addition, you can see it here.
Weekend- This weekend is the first weekend we aren't crazy busy since Labor day! Just a birthday party and football game tomorrow night, hockey Saturday, and again Sunday. I think we can handle that!
Hope you all have a great weekend!
