Life 365 | Week 19

Monday, May 3, 2010
may3Today was my chosen day to do the A DAY IN MY LIFE Challenge, so my notepad and my computer were used all day. It was a crazy day with lots of cleaning, store assistant duties, being with the kids and more. A big highlight of the day for my kids was the great weather outside. They spent the whole afternoon (after school) outside doing lots of things including blowing bubbles. Beth loves the Spring flowers that are popping up!

may4Yesterday was so exhausting that I needed to have a more laid back day today. I accomplished a few things, but mostly spent the day being lazy and Beth and I completed another puzzle! I love that Beth loves to do puzzles!

may5Happy Cinco de Mayo! We had bean, rice, and cheese quesadillas for dinner and it is one of JJ’s favorites, so he was very happy. I decided to cancel my crop for tonight because I just wasn’t ready for it – so we actually spent the day/evening together as a family. We also got word that this afternoon, I became an aunt again. My brother, Toby and his wife Savanna had their second child – a little girl they named Briel Ruth Sorensen. Can’t wait to meet her.

may6I worked on taking lots of pictures today and getting organized to complete my Photography Hunt Challenge. I didn’t get it quite done, but spent most of the day working on that. More cleaning and working on the computer too. The kids are still enjoying getting to play outside more! Joey was hoping that today would be his last day to have to give himself injections – but after visiting the doctor this morning – our hopes were dashed. He has to do it for 5 more days. We really hope the blood clots clear up soon.

may7It’s been nice to have Joey home all week, but I really feel badly that he has been feeling so awful. The blood clots, gout, and all of his medicines have really got him in pain and feeling down. But his girl can sure cheer him up. She snuggled and played with him in bed for a long while today. Since Joey didn’t have his podcast tonight – we had dessert first and went to Sub-Zero for ice cream and home for dinner tonight.

may8I slept in awhile today. Joey got Aaron to come over and mow our lawn and then they headed up to Salt Lake City to do his podcast. The kids and I spent the day cleaning, making cookies, and being lazy. I also worked more on my photography hunt challenge – its still not done and I need to finish! The kids were glad to see Joey at the end of the day. I made all of us lay down on the ground to take a fun family photo and I thought it was very cute of the kids as they helped Joey off the floor. 🙂 Joey brought home Mings for him and I for dinner and it was very good.

may9There’s nothing like the 3am sound of a kid throwing up. Poor JJ got sick all over his bed so we spent time in the shower and cleaning it all up. He slept on the couch with Joey nearby the rest of the night. This morning, I was feeling pretty awful too and Joey is having a rough day, so no church for us today. What a great Mother’s Day huh? We did get our calls into our moms though, so that was good.

For family movie night, we watched An American Tail and since it was all about mice – we had CHEESE Quesadillas for dinner. The kids had fun preparing them!

Life 365 | Week 6

Monday, February 1, 2010
feb1Joey finally broke his record in one of the Tennis Training Games! He was so happy! (And on Sunday he actually broke it again – so the above photo is of his latest score!)

I was so excited today – because I FINALLY got my computer back. It has seriously been such a frustration and causing me so much stress to not have it. This week I’m going to have to spend most of my time getting caught up and back on track with my design stuff! So happy to have my computer back – I really don’t survive very well without it!

feb2Beth and I did some grocery shopping today and came home with some special treats. JJ and Beth got some valentine cookies, fruit snacks, and applesauce when JJ got home from school. Happy Groundhog Day!

Wednesday, February 3, 2010
feb3Beth didn’t get to go to school today. I was up most of the night with her. She was coughing so hard that she threw up and she just couldn’t breathe well. We propped her up on the couch and I stayed right by her all night. I worked on my computer most of the night and at about 6am she finally went to sleep, so I slept right by the couch by her. After getting JJ off to school, I crashed for a few more hours before finally getting up and starting my day. Beth just watched movies and slept most of the day and I worked on my computer. The only time I got my cheerful Beth was when she took a bubble bath. I can tell its going to be another long night…

feb4Beth had another hard night, but not as bad as the night before. I sent JJ off to school and slept a little bit longer and woke up to a horrible phone call. JJ had a seizure at school. Beth and I rushed out the door and arrived at the school office where paramedics were with JJ. He hasn’t had a febrile seizure in almost 2 years and I had hoped he had outgrown it. I felt so bad that I didn’t realize he was sick too. I brought him home and he slept for about 1 1/2 hours before we took him to his pediatrician. Everything checked out just fine and we brought him home. JJ just has a very low tolerance for fevers. I spent the rest of the day with my sick kids – trying to keep them comfortable. Watching JJ have a seizure is just so scary and it was honestly kind of nice that I didn’t have to watch it this time, although I feel badly for his teachers. I’m sure it was really scary for them too. I just want my kids to get better!

feb5We spent the day playing and watching movies. It was another hard night, but I think its getting better. The kids were much much more active today and that’s always a sign that they are working towards getting better. The kids spent some time in the bathtub, trying to keep their fevers from rising. And unfortunately, I think I’m getting it too – sore throat, aching, and headache for most of the day for me too. I worked a lot on the computer as well. I think I’m actually making some headway into catching up! Joey did his podcast and stayed at Pete’s tonight for his meetings with Samaritan tomorrow.

Saturday, February 6, 2010
feb6The kids seem to be getting better, besides some pretty awful coughs, whereas I just keep feeling worse. Joey was gone all day in Salt Lake City, and the kids were amazingly good for me today. They hung out in the living room and watched movies and played with their Leapster 2’s, while I slept and worked on the computer from the couch. I was so glad to see Joey when he got home, so I could hang out in bed. I feel so awful.

Today, 12 years ago, Joey and I went on our first date. I still love him so very much!

feb7A pretty miserable day today. I was so sick that I couldn’t even get out of bed this morning until about 1:00pm. The kids were doing better, but still sick. Joey was so good to take care of them so I could get more rest. At 4:00 he left to go to the Casetta’s for the Super Bowl game, while the kids and I watched the game from here. It was a good game, but a very disappointing loss for our Colts. We really wanted to see them win. Our hearts hurt tonight, but we are still proud of their great year and we can’t wait until the next season starts! True Colts Fans live here!

Project 365 | Week 9

feb23
So I finally took the kids to the doctor today – I figured this had gone on long enough. Turns out both of them have Bronchitis. So we got some medicine and the doctor said they could go to school tomorrow. I’m so looking forward to having my kids back. They have been really irritable and understandably. JJ really digresses in his behaviors and other development and it’s been not good the past couple of weeks. It worries me a lot and I hope it is just that he is sick. We’ve got to get us all well before our California trip!

The kids went back to school today. They are still coughing quite a bit, but it seems a lot better! So hopefully we are on the mend. It was an incredibly nice day today. It is starting to feel like Spring. The kids and I went on a little walk and caught pictures of the sunset.

I got this little note in JJ’s backpack today. I thought it was really sweet. And even better, JJ actually read this little book to us! It was so neat to hear him actually read! Sure it was a tiny book and very easy words – but it was still amazing to see him read! JJ also got an award yesterday from the school. I helps out in his classroom quite a bit with the other kids – so this was really neat!

The kids were pretty good to each other today, which always is a plus. I had gotten a lot of sleep last night – I actually went to bed early Wednesday night (eight hours asleep – that never happens), so I got a lot more done and I was even able to catch (on camera) the kids giving each other kisses!

Beth is really getting into looking at books and especially the pictures. We got out our huge Animal Encyclopedia today and Beth pored over the pictures. She really loves animals so this was really fun for her. I really need to read to her more. I haven’t made it a real priority and I need to do that. She loves stories and I think we could definitely have a big reader on our hands in a couple of years!

The countdown to our California Trip has begun! The kids and I made a paper chain today – only 23 days to go. With all the things I want to accomplish before then – I just know it’s going to be here before we know it. I’m really excited about this trip!

We had Cody & Becki over for dinner tonight. I made Chicken Enchiladas with Tater Tots, Salad and Cream Puffs and Chocolate Pudding for Dessert. It was yummy and we were able to have a great chat with them, which was really great. I feel really grateful to be a part of their lives, even in a small way. It’s nice to have some family close to us and the kids love them! Plus it’s always great to have a conversation with adults once in a while! LOL Becki had made a Countdown Paper Chain for us too, so now we have two – which is actually even better because now the kids don’t have to fight over who gets to tear the paper off every night – they will each have their own!
