I'm going to type a long drawn out explanation for my life right now, but really I can sum it up in one word. BLAH.
First off, I caught the crummy flu that's been going around. Although, from what I hear, my case was better than most, it still sucked. 24 hours of not being able to get off the couch was not fun. And even though I'm mobile and functioning again, I'm still lacking energy and have persistent cold symptoms. Yuck.
Things at home could get better. Details not needed for cyber world, but for anyone who happens to read this I would greatly appreciate prayer for my personal life at the moment. I know He is the only one that can manage the mess we've made.
I've made a deal with myself in the last week, and that is NOT to post my every thought on facebook anymore. Along with that, I'm not posting updates or pictures of my children. I'm amazed at how difficult it has been! There are pictures piling up in my phone memory, and it makes me feel like I'm somehow falling behind. Pathetic, I know! But I'm tired of people being able to keep up with my kids online, and thinking they don't need to see them to know them. That isn't fair to the boys. Realistically, this move of mine probably won't last long, but for now it feels like I'm making a stand for them. Which, after all, is my job as their mother right? Right.
Therefore, all of my entertaining kid stories will land here :) Safe where I'm sure the people in question don't look. (BTW I know I could 'de-friend' them, and elimate this problem, trust me when I say it is NOT that simple..)
Evidently Dylan has learned to open doors. Like big, heavy, leading to outside doors. NOT my favorite trick. Nearly made my heart stop to walk into a room today to see Dylan standing with the door open, Cameron about to go head first down steps into our concrete garage floor. And I had only left the room for a minute. Apparently, Maddie needed to go outside and Dylan thought he should let her out. Good thing she's not a dog to run off! He's still doing about the same on potty training. More accidents than I'd like...but wearing underwear as long as he's awake. No public accidents to speak of...yet. *Knocks on wood* He's LOVING the weather being warm enough to play our in our yard. Yes, I said that. We live in a house with a YARD :) Awesome! His little imagination runs wild out there! Yesterday, he was playing with an imaginary Woody and Buzz, and Maddie was slinky dog. Then he was heartbroken because all the leaves fell off the trees and they were 'broken' (obviously he wasn't paying attention when that happened back in September..) he spend a good 10 minutes trying to put them back.
Cameron's 1 year well check was today. He's finally broken 20lbs, and is up to the 25% for his age! HOORAY! He's doing great, eating everything that doesn't eat him first, and I swear learning and understanding more everyday, but the little booger just WILL NOT walk! Haha...on his own time I know! I just know that he is capable of walking and won't. Battle of the will, and he's currently winning.
Well, I think I've rambled quite enough for now. Till next time...
xoxo
