Man, what a horrible weekend!
I was really looking forward to this long Memorial Day weekend because Troy doesn't have to work. Well, things have taken a turn for me.
We all got sick! I really don't know what I have but on Thursday, I started getting a sore throat and then achy chills. I was pretty miserable. I am still feeling that way today but I feel alright if I take my IBprofin. If I get off of it, I feel totally miserable again. I'm not sure what I'm going to do this week as far as working out.
Benjamin hasn't been feeling well either and we took him to an on-call doctor yesterday. Benjamin has his first ear infection. The doctor prescribed Amoxicilon and I'm really tempted to take some from Ben.
Then yesterday, Troy started feeling sick! Man, everyone is getting sick except Ryan. I really hope he doesn't catch what we have! He needs to go to school this week because it's the last week of school. I am really really thankful for Troy's parents because they took Ryan for the whole entire day while we stayed at home and slept! What a blessing that was!
I sure do hope that tomorrow is a turning point for all of us. We need to get over whatever it is we have and get on with life.
My TRAINING has started...
Oh. My. Word. I am SOOOO sore!!! I started on Tuesday morning at 6 a.m. with my personal trainer. He is really good at killing you!! He is a great tri-athlete trainer and that's what I'm training for... along with my 1/2 marathon in August. I've trained with him 2 times already and I need to crash on the couch! Anyone want to come over and take my kids for a while?!
My nice moment with Ryan this morning...
This morning, I was trying to get the boys ready to take them over to my friends house so she could babysit them. I needed to get to my physical therapist so I could get my knee worked on. I wasn't having the best morning because I just woke up from having a bad dream. It was a stupid dream but it was one that was dragging me down and making me depressed.
Before I left, I decided to kneel down and say a quick little prayer and ask for some comfort. Right when I was about to start my prayer, Ryan walked in my room. I asked him if he would like to pray with me to Heavenly Father. After he consented by jumping on my bed to be beside me, we started the prayer. Ryan repeated everything I said from thanking Him for the pretty flowers outside to blessing daddy at work today. I then asked that 'Mommy will feel better.' Ryan repeated me and then looked at me. He then said, "Need a bandaid?" I just had to stop and laugh. I sure do love that kid.
Happy Mother's Day!
Look what Troy got me for Mother's Day!
I really like it! It's nice and shiny. It takes pictures and video. The video also records in HD! Cool huh?! I'm really glad that Troy got this camera for me. I had a camera a year ago and I broke it. I was shooting a video of Benjamin walking for the first time and I threw the camera at Troy so he could take another video and it broke! Note to self... don't throw cameras. They break.
Here is one of the pictures I took since yesterday...
Ryan likes to water Grandma's flowers. He's such a good helper!
I wanted to say Happy Mother's Day to 2 very specials mothers...
First, I love you mom! I really do! I'm sad that I don't really get to see you because you live down there in the promised land. I'm really happy though that I get to call you and talk. Thanks for all of your help and support through all stages of my life. Especially through high school and then when I became a mother myself. Whenever there was something really hard for me to live through, I could always count on your help. I love you!
Second, I wanted to say Happy Mother's Day to my MIL, Marianne! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! What a huge help and support you are to us! You always seem to go out of your way for us and I really do appreciate it. Thank you for babysitting for us and helping Ryan with all of his struggles. I am truly blessed to have such a great mother close to me!
