My Hand

My boss took my stitches out last Weds. It was alot easier than I thought it would be. So far so good!!! With the exception of punching the kitchen cabinet (on accident) last night with that hand......

February = Sick Kids

Not sure what it is with the month of February and my kiddos. It seems we have alot of illness in this one month. I am pumping them with extra vitamins and trying to ensure all get enough rest.

This weekend it was Bay with sinsus and ear infections. Two trips to the peds office for her. And Monday it was Amber...Bad cold for her but we were at the urgent care because we thought it was strepe throat at first.

I am just ready for all 3 of them to be and feel better.

My Baby Is 9 Today!!!!

I can not believe that Amber is 9 today. She is so grown up and such a wonderful and caring daughter!!!!!

Happy Birthday to my Big Girl!!!!

My Hand

So Sunday was supposed to be a relaxing day. Bay and Kenzie were still coughing so we decided to stay home from church. Jay took Amber to the boat show. Ashley invited the younger 2 and I over to hang out and have breakfest. We do this many weekends.

I normally go back and forth to switch laundry. Well since it was so since I decided on 1 trip home to get eggs, to open the windows. Well my hands went right through it.

So I am bleeding and screaming. I call Ashley. She comes running.. I wrap my hand and we got to her house. She calls my parents.

Poor Bay was already having a meltdown because Amber left with Daddy. Now PawPaw is taking Mommy and Mommy is hurt.

All in all it could have been alot worse. I only ended up with 2 stiches on the knuckle of 1 finger.

Just is hard to type!!!

Oh did I mention I had to get a tetanus shot???????????

Can I Order Another Round of Antibiotics Please?

I am very in tune with my Mommy radar! I figured since Bailey was being so contrary that she was getting sick.

Last night we had dual functioning craziness!

Bay was whiny, crank, sniffly, coughing. Kenzie was up screaming straight for 4 hours. It was so bad that when I tried to go potty I had to take her in with me and hold her while I went. Yes, I did it. You have to do what you have to do.

I took them to the sitters, came to work, worked, called the peds office, got appointments, took them in....And GUESS WHAT?????????????????

They both have head colds and double ear infections. And one of Kenzie's ear drums is very, very swollen. No wonder the poor baby was screaming.

So we have stronger antibiotics, one is one tylenol constantly, one is on motrin.

They are back at the sitters, on their meds. I have my cell phone on the ready in case Kenzie gets worse.

Sigh!!!

Our Eventful Weekend

Who says life as a Mom of 3 kids is EVER dull and uneventful?????

Thursday I start getting sick, gotta love it when those sweet little ones share their germs. Along with that, my best friend Erin's water breaks and she goes into Labor.

Friday I have high fever and can barely talk. So the girls and I stay home from work. Amber was already off from school. I am cranky and squeaky all day but we never left the house.

The girls were good for the most part. Bailey put an entire tub of Amber's Hannah Montana lotion in her hair along with VICKS from the vaporizor.

Friday morning Kirsten Sarah Bracy was born.

Saturday it was really cold and I was feeling better, as was Kenzie. The older girls played well until around 3 and then I made the both take naps because they were so cranky. Thinking I would get a nap because Kenzie would sleep....NO she wants to sing to me LOL. I will upload the video tonight or tomorrow. It is really funny.

Sunday we have church, the girls have awanas and I got to go up and visit with Erin and baby Kirsten! And then it was the SUPERBOWL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And it was the day I learned exactly how heartbroken my oldest is over everything that is going on with Jay. It was the day that I decided either he agrees that we fix it with the help of someone else or we end it.

I think I know in my heart what truly needs to be done. I have contacted a lawyer. I just hate to do it. I hate to admit that its all a mistake. I am terrified of being a single Mom. But it is for the best. Things everywhere have changed. And if he is unwilling to change and move forward and get the help to deal with his past, then for the sake of my sanity and my children's mental well being.....It is time to end the marriage and move on!

I know I can do this. I am a strong woman. I have great conviction and I know that when I am ready to look again, the perfect match is out there for me.

I so wish that Mary Jo was alive right now. She would know the exact thing to say and do to make me understand it all. But I know I have family and good friends that will support my endeavors.
