This is different - posting at night instead of in the morning! Well, the kids were lucky enough to have 2 days of school off this week due to the wonderful Michigan winter weather! The first day, I didn't get to sleep in. The wind was so bad in the night, I got a little worried and put Erin downstairs to sleep with Amber at 1am and the boys down on the couch in the basement. I figured better safe then sorry (it sounded like a tornado to me!). Then I laid on the couch for a bit and watched the local stations to see if there was any info about the weather - none. I dozed on the couch til 3am then woke up sore and went to bed to wake up at 4:15am to take Jeremy in to Bridgeport to catch the van to work! So, I got home, was just getting sleepy (5:30am) and I heard Amber and Erin coming upstairs - she had to go potty. But, she also thought it was time to wake up for good:( So, needless to say, I didn't get to go back to sleep. It's funny because everyone is so hard to wake up for school, but yet when they don't have school, they wake up wide-eyed and bushey-tailed at 7:30am no problem!!!
So, Friday morning after getting up 5+ times in the night with Erin (Cold, I think) - Wednesday night she did the same thing and complained about her nose "being stuck" (vick's solved that problem!), I got home from running Jeremy in to Bridgeport and Curt and Erin were in my bed! So, I told Curt thanks and he could go back to bed. Amber came in at 6:15am to tell me no school and Erin decided to try and wake up 10 minutes later for good. No, no, no - mom's not ready to get up! So, after a little persuasion, she decided she was better off going back to sleep and we slept in til 8:30am! That felt good and she was in a much better mood! She slept much better last night, praise the Lord! I don't know what I'll do when I have to get up at 4:15am and stay up to go to work again!
Today, Erin helped me clean my laundry area in the garage and wipe everything down, then we vacuumed out the Suburban and wiped it down inside. Got the laundry caught up and the kids' bathroom cleaned and Erin's bedding washed as well. Do you think I could be nesting??!! She's slept in the baby's crib the last few nights and naptimes. Wonder what she'll do when the baby has to use it! I had a doctor appt. on Wednesday and he checked me out good, said I was good for atleast another week. He also checked to make sure I haven't been leaking water and for UTI. I won't know about that until Monday. If that's why my back's been hurting, I'll be mad at myself for not saying something earlier!! Brooke, Erin and I also went to Mt. Morris and had Grandma Reid's 81st birthday dinner at Baldwins. That was fun getting to see everyone for a few hours. Erin was funny - they brought out Grandma's birthday cupcake and Erin kept saying, I like your cupcake, Grandma. Yes, Grandma did finally share (she also ate the croutons from Nana and Great Grandma's salads)! She also got Grandma's birthday balloon and wanted to sleep with it! She was holding the string and I kept checking on her, not wanting her to wrap the string around her neck and took it away from her after she fell asleep! She woke up in the night asking for it!!
Isaac came in and asked me if something was wrong with one of his bottom teeth - for those of you who don't know, he's had a few incidents where he had seriously done damage to his upper gum area by falling and hitting his mouth on 1st the playground at school and 2nd, he slipped on a rug on our ceramic tile floor in the kitchen and fell onto the tupperware drawer he was getting into... So, we are paranoid about his teeth - the last fall did some damage to the nerves in the upper front teeth which have turned a little gray. We are just praying it doesn't affect his permanent teeth. Anyway, I knew his bottom teeth were getting ready to be loose by the way they looked (spacing, etc.), so sure enough, one is very loose. He took it well, though and didn't freak out like he normally does and worry. He seemed excited about the fact that he'll get some money for the tooth after it falls out. Of course, I then had to to check out Erin's teeth as well! She told me we had to go to the doctor as well! She just loves going to the doctor - complete opposite of Isaac!
That was about all the excitement for the week - enjoyed the extra time with the kids and rest as well. So, I'm off to bed for some rest tonight and will post more later.
Have a wonderful and blessed Sunday!
