Tried of it

I am sure you all are very tired of hearing that Mason and I are sick again, because I am tired of being sick. We both got our colds back and losing our voices. I lost mine last night and it kind of came back today. So if you are thinking of calling me, you might want to email me instead. I am just hoping that it will warm up here a little bit and we can get better. As for Aubrey and Richard you may ask, they both are fine. For some reason they don't get sick like we do. Here's hoping the next one doesn't get my immune system.

About time

Well I finally decided to join the YMCA here. I love the fact that I could work out at home, but it was getting hard to do with the kids. They both know how to unlock the front door now and I was also afraid that they might hurt themselves while I was running. Anyway I get to my real story, I have always wanted to try a Zumba class. For those of you who don't know what it is, you can find videos online showing what it is like. i have been to two classes, but have had fun. It is kind-of funny though, most of the people in the class are older, like 70's or 80's, and they can shake their hips better than I can. The first time I went the kids were in the kid care, Aubrey was waiting for me at the pick up area because she thought that I wasn't coming back to get her. Mason was more than ok with being there, it was like a whole new set of toys for him to enjoy.

Three is a Magic Number

I hope Mason is ready to be a middle child because as of July 21ish we are expecting to have another addition to the family. Today Jenell and I went into the Dr to get an ultrasound. So Happy Birthday Jenell you got to see you unborn child on your birthday and here's hoping that three is not the magic number that causes insanity.

Christmas

I know that i am late getting this on, I'm slow and don't have any pictures. Richard told me that I put them on the computer wrong and then told me how to do it, like I will remember that. But we didn't have too many pictures, because our camera was acting up. We started Christmas eve at home, making cookies and watching Christmas movies. I still wasn't feeling all that swell, so we really didn't do too much. The kids also opened their PJ's for the year night and went to bed around 9:00. The kids woke up to a ton of presents. I had bought some throughout the year and Richard went and bought a lot the day after Thanksgiving. That meant that some of the kids toys are now gone. Some of the toys they got for Christmas we decided to put up for the future, they can open them again some other year. Both kids had fun playing with their stuff the rest of the day and I spent the day cleaning, the kitchen and then deep cleaning the kids room. It was different for us not to have Christmas with any family this year, this is the first time that we haven't been at someones house. But all and all we had a good Christmas and are now working on getting everyone over their colds.

Another year

We had our 7 year anniversary on Sunday, to which I would love to say that we did something fun. But wouldn't you know it, I was sick. Mason and I have had a stomach flu, no fun at all. I spent all day Saturday in bed and the bathroom. Sunday I was trying to get anything to stay in me. The nice thing was the fact that Richard was able to be home those days to help me. He helped with the kids and even cooked, when I reminded him that the kids do need to eat too. Needless to say I still have a few things to get for Christmas, which might not be gotten this year, and I never did get to any of our friends gifts (sorry Tab!). I was going to make cookies with the kids, but who in the world wants to do that when they are sick. For now I am starting to feel better, but the kids say that they don't feel good. All I am hoping is that we are all well for Christmas.

Only Aubrey

I was outside blowing bubbles with Mason, Aubrey was crying in her room. I am still not sure why she was crying. But she comes out if the house with her backpack and tells me that she is moving. (She hasn't learned running away, because we know other families here who have moved.) I asked her to sit down and talk to me for a minute. It went something like this.

So where are you going to go?
My Grandmas house.
Well that is far away, how are you going to get there?
I don't know, fly on the airplane.
OK, what do you have in your backpack?
Books, Scooby Do ball and Kleenex.
Well, what are you going to do for clothing?
I am wearing clothes, mom.
It is about dinner time, what are you going to do for food?
I'll eat at Grandmas house.
It is going to be dark soon, won't you get scared?
I'll sleep on the plane.
OK, how are you going to pay for a plane ticket?
I am going to crawl to it, I don't need money.
Well which plane will you know to take to grandmas house.
The one with the tiger on it, it took me there last time.

If I could laugh right now, I would be dying. Later she told me that we all needed to go because we would miss her, even cookie. Then she changed her mind about cookie and told me that someone else could take care of her while we were gone. A little bit later she told me that she was moving again. This time she was going to "Dads parents house". I told her to go tell Dad. To which she said that she couldn't because he would be mad. So there you have it, Aubrey thinks that she is big enough to fly by herself to Grandma and Grandpa's house (both of them). I don't know where the silly girl would ever get such a thing from.

Finally happened

So after three weeks of this cold thing I have finally hurt my ribs/muscles. I was thinking the other day that I have been very lucky in the fact that this hasn't happened and well then it does. That is what I get for thinking. We are pretty sure that my ribs aren't broken or anything, just pulled the muscle near it. But it has been hard, I have a hard time even picking up Mason. But it could be worse, right now I just sound funny because I can't cough normal. I am to the point that I am ready to be done with this and move on with my life.
