Things have been pretty nuts around here. I've taken on this "garden" project and have really been spending a lot of time taking care of it. Then I decided to develop my flower gardens. I bought a crap ton of pavers when they were on sale last Thursday and went to town. I ended up having to make two trips to Macomb Thursday just to finish my project. Over 200 bricks and 35 bags of mulch later I can say my flower beds are set up and ready for my planters. I have been working hard on potting up some flowers to place in my gardens. I have decided not to plant the flowers directly in the ground, but to place planters throughout the beds. It looks really really nice and I am super happy with the way it has all turned out! Proud of myself for doing it ALL with NO HELP! I am so happy about that. It's something I have accomplished on my own and it actually turned out GREAT! I am so proud!
I helped sort and pass out the little Caesars pizzas last Friday at the school with the PTO, and then I got to do some pre under one roof garage sale shopping. I ended up bringing home a small tv for Brody's room, in case his 7 year old tv bites the dust, if it ever does, we will be in BIG trouble, so for $3 to have an extra on hand is pretty awesome! I just put it in his bedroom closet to have just in case! I got me a couple pairs of dress shoes and then got a few shirts and Cole picked out a ton of books.
Saturday I took the boys up to Conn Communication to make a stepping stone to support the WOW park. It's my mothers day gift from the boys. They turned out super cute and I am so happy with them. I have to go get them picked up and then they can go in my flower bed. I can't wait! I'm excited to show them off! They were both so proud of them!
Yesterday I made up some beef and noodles for Sunday lunch. Jenny & Joe joined us and we had a nice time, but it wasn't the same cause Keith and Bev were gone on their anniversary trip. We missed lunch at "grandma's house" That's something the boys look forward to every week and this is two weeks in a row now that we have not been there because she's been gone for two weeks! Hopefully next weekend we can get back into the swing of things? I think Brody is missing out on doing the dishes!
I planted my pepper plants yesterday afternoon and the damn ground squirrel was spotted out there soon after munching on them. Damn thing. He taunts me when I mow and now he's eating my garden. He's going to get some poison down his yard holes. I am sick of him! He's ugly and sneaky and he's pissing me off!
We fired up the charcoal grill for our supper and cooked up a few steaks. Bev and Keith came home and they joined us for supper. After we ate, the boys and I took a country cruise with Bill and it was a fantastic way to end our day.
Today I ran some errands, paid Bill's and then hit up county market and the drug store and came home to fold and put away all our laundry. I heated up leftovers for supper and was finally sitting down to enjoy my evening when Brody woke up crying. This is pretty unusual for him, but I assumed he was crying cause he had fallen asleep on the floor and was scared not knowing where he was? He came out to the living room and I soon discovered why he was so upset. He had vomit all over him. I got him in the tub, started the washing machine and ended up having to throw out his area rug because he puked ALL over it. I got him all cleaned up and took his temp. It was 102.3 He was weak and miserable. He slept off and on on my lap and within an hour was puking up again. He lasted about another hour and puked again. Poor fella. I feel so bad for him. He had another bath and is in bed sleeping now. I hope he's puked out. He's pretty pale and weak and looks just plain miserable.
I'm thinking Cole's not feeling the best either. He fell asleep in his room at 7:15 and has been in bed every since. He woke up once to go pee and went right back to sleep. These boys must have gotten some bug? Hope it's a fast moving one and they both get to feeling better by morning.
Friday was Brody's preschool screening. I forgot all about that. He did well. He didn't do so well in the hallway when we first got there because there were too many people and he freaked out a bit. He hates too many people. One on one with the lady he did pretty amazing. I was proud of him. There are a few areas he does still need lots of work, but we can address those and work on them from now till school starts. We meet with the principal and the early intervention group and all his therapists in May and set up his plan of care and where they will put him and discuss his goals and make sure we are all on the same page with his disorder. He's progressed so much in so little time and we are happy with the small changes we have made and how much he has changed with our changes. It's working.
I am just plain wore out today. I am not sure what's going on? Maybe I am just getting this bug, or maybe I am just doing too much? I wonder if I'm just wore out from all that I've been doing and not used to. The energy is there to do the stuff, but it seems to take all I have to get myself going every day. I am just pooped from the time I get out of bed till the time I crawl back in. That's before I even do anything to get that wore out. I don't know if it's that or if I am getting low on some blood counts or something? I guess we will wait it out and see what comes up? Maybe a few days of rest and laziness will help me out some? Maybe I need to take a few days off? With these boys not feeling well, I don't see that happening though. ugh.
Well I am off to bed. Hopefully there will be no puking through the night and I can get a good nights sleep. Hopefully the boys can too. Poor kids.
