These are the days of my life...

So it always seems that when Jonathan is out of town...things happen to make me go nuts. This week has been no exception.
Jonathan left Sunday to fly to California for the week. Monday afternoon I am informed that our check (which should have been deposited at 12:01am) had not been deposited. WHAT?!? I spent money thinking it had been electronically deposited like it always is and well...it wasn't. The company Gina uses deleted our payroll and we were not going to be paid until Wednesday. Needless to say it's been a nightmare. The bank was kind enough to delete half the charges and the Hallams are paying the other ones since it wasn't our fault but what a mess it's been! We ended up with 6 $35 overdraft charges! Wow does that add up!

Tuesday...I go to my follow up appointment at the Urologist to find out the reason I am still going to the bathroom a lot is b/c I may still have an infection. He ordered a culture because my white cell count was still high. Should know tomorrow if I will be put on antibiotics again or not. FUN! The other fun thing that happened was after getting the boys out of the bath, I walk into the kitchen to find bubbles all over the kitchen floor....the dishwasher was overflowing! UGH!!!

Wednesday...Besides starting to get a cold the day seems pretty normal. I go to MOPS at Killearn Methodist and then we all go to the boys soccer practices. It was 3am when I am awakened to some odd noises coming from Joel's room. He had thrown up all over his crib and had to have a bath. When I finally get back to bed after cleaning up everything...I turned my head just right and pulled my neck. OUCH! Which brings us to Thursday...

Thursday...I normally drive Gabe to school (just the two of us) and I wait on the playground for the bell to ring and then he gives me a hug and goes to his class. Well b/c Jonathan is gone...everyone has to go which is a little stressful. This means everyone has to get dressed and have eaten before we leave. However since Joel had thrown up...I didn't want him around all the kids so we had to drop Gabe off (which he wasn't very happy about). We then get to spend over an hour at the pediatrician's for Joel's well visit. He gets two shots along with not feeling well and pretty much sleeps the rest of the day. Typical Thursday we host a small group at our house but since Joel was sick...we had to cancel so...I had to call everyone to let them know we wouldn't be having it.

Thank goodness my boys have been great this week and for chocolate! HA! I am quite thankful that Jonathan will be home in a few hours and I can finally rest! WHEW! Being a Mommy sure is fun!

Classic Noah

Noah has a great personality. He's just a funny guy and always has something up his sleeve. The other day he was at church with a babysitter while Kelly was in a meeting. He asked the babysitter if they could go outside. She was new and had Joel and another little guy named Gavin. So, she explained that she didn't feel comfortable with that and that it was best to just stay inside for now. A few minutes later he took his compass over to her and started showing it off, etc. He then said, “do you see my compass?” and she said she did. He pushed it closer to her face and asked if she knew what it said. She said she had no idea, but he could tell her, so he immediately responded with a witty “it says YOU SHOULD TO TAKE ME OUTSIDE!” She busted out laughing, which of course meant that he continued to come to her with a different approach to the same problem. Classic.
