my speaking event

My speech went well, my voice held up for it too. Today I can barely talk, but I dont really HAVE to talk today.

Chris did well with Brayden till I got home at 8:45. I even got to put him to sleep! That's a mom thing in my house.

lost my voice

figures! I have to give a speech tonight to about 200 ppl and I barely have a voice. I have been resting my voice all day, and I think it is better. I am ready for this sickness to go away already!

So Chris and I chatted a bit on our drive this weekend. That went well. And I found him dealing with Brayden instead of handing him off to me when fussy. He asked me what to do, and I suggested things and he tried them out. I was impressed because I didnt even tell him he should do this! So, I think the boys will be ok.

Grandpa's funeral was nice. The 10 grandkids all got up to share a memory. There were trucking stories, fishing stories, butchering chickes, picking mushrooms (that was mine!), bad shooting stories, and the indian under the rock story. Grandma seemed to be having a nice day. She held Brayden with my help, and I think she knew just who we were! She didnt want to give him up either. Just a few years ago, she was babysitting my sister's kids.

My nephew Jason had his first communion yesterday. We enjoyed the party and spending more time with him and his sisters.

I best go practice my presentation silently.

dont know how I am gonna do this.

I have not showered since tuesday. I ate a left over chicken breast and m&m's for dinner at 8:30 last night. My teeth didnt get brushed last night. My hair is always in a pony tail, and there is no make up on me EVER! I am so tired I cant do basic math. I have to leave myself notes like "told dana I would take lunch at 11 today". and I have only been at work monday, thursday and today. As soon as this weather breaks I will be at work way more! I dont know how I am gonna do it.

Brayden and I are both going to the dr. today. I have a mega sore throat still. i think he does too. So, I really hope we all feel better soon. Next week I work 5, 10 hour days. Then after next week (if the weather breaks) I add an 8 hour day to that. I hope that with in this sort of chaos.

Last night I was supposed to work till 6. Aunt RoHo and Uncle CalHo were supposed to watch brayden till I got home around 7. Chris was gonna drop him off around 5:45 because he had a meeting last night. Well, at 5 chris called me FREAKING out. he said Brady was just freaking and would not eat- I had to come home right now. Said he had to go, I told him to call shel and ask her to come help, and he hung up! So I frantically left work in a panic. Called on my way (10 minutes later) and Shel was there- she said it was all under control. for some reason he would not drink the breastmilk.... too cold? too warm? sour? tasted funny? reminded him of his mom and wanted her not the bottle? we dont know why. But he took a bottle of formula instead. When I arrive home at 6, all was peaceful. Shel and Cal didnt have to watch him anymore. He wanted to nurse, and leisurely did so till 8:30! Then I finally ate the fastest thing I could and crashed. We woke 4 times last night to feed every 2 hours. I was 30 minutes late for work today.

Daddy and I are gonna chat about calling me like that and leaving me hanging! Inconsiderate!

bbbbbbaaaaadddd night

holy crap am I tired. Brayden choose not to nap at daycare, then fell asleep at 5pm. woke at 8 to eat, then again at midnight. He would not go back to sleep after taht feeding! i tried my best to get him to sleep for 2 hours, then gave it up and did the laundry while he played on his playmat. I got him back to sleep at 3:30. So... I slept from 9-12, then 4-5:30. hope to get him back on his schedule again soon. doesnt help that I dont feel well, and neither does dad.

36 washclothes

We got a ton of washclothes as shower gifts. 36 to be exact, and I never thought we would ever use 36 of them. So I rolled them up in a basket and decorated with them in the bathroom. I stand corrected- the basket is empty! With the pink eye, in just over 24 hours we went thru 36 washclothes!

house of sickies

this is getting rediculous! Chris is at the dr. right now... he has been sick for probaly 6 weeks now. I feel like crap- very sore throat and a mega achey neck. I took smiley to daycare, they missed him in the last 24 hours. I hope to rest and get some work done today. He isnt looking so rough anymore. The snotty nose, and goopy eyes were not pretty- but he still managed a few smiles. His eyes have really cleared up nicely, and he isnt so snotty. He is launching spit up, he does this when he gets a snotty nose... you can see the mucus in the spit up.

This has been a crabby house too- so I am ready for it to be over with! When momma is sick, she still has to pull her weight- up at night and early with the baby, lunches packed, and dishes done... when daddy is sick, well you know the rest. ;-)

fine last night, and pink eye today!

Dr. C is thinking that I just want to see him more then once a week! Nice guy and all, but a little too old for me. ;-) Brady was absolutly fine last night, his eyes were a little pink but we thought he was just very tired. Woke up this morning and they were crusted shut! I feel bad.... at 2am when he woke to eat- I changed his diaper and fed him in the dark. At 5am when he woke to eat again, his eye was crusty. I cleaned it up, fed him and put him back to sleep. I woke him at 6:45 to change his clothes and take him to daycare- and his eye was mega crusted shut!

So, we got to the dr. by 8:45, and got meds in his eye by 9:30. We are home, and I have work to do! He can go to daycare after 9:30 tomorrow.

Childhood germs- gotta love them. AFter today, dad is gonna have to take a sick day and stay home with him when something like this comes up again. I got lucky, that the weather is bad.... the garden center opened today- but I am thinking we wont be flooded with customers- so I could stay home today. Next 2 months, dad will have to!
