ZOO

Well we had a great time at the Zoo. It was a very tiring day but so much fun. Gabe really enjoyed it especially the penguins and hippos because of how close they were to us :) I think everybody really had a good time. Sean's idea for a road trip was an excellent idea.

I took Gabe to the doctor on Monday and the medicine they put him on is really helping the breakouts that he is having. His face already looks better and it's only day two of nine for the medicine. We are so very excited.

I don't have school this Thursday and Friday so it's like an extra mini spring break. :) I think it's pretty cool.

Not much else goin on this week. Talk to you later. :)

Stressed but glass half full

Well lately I just feel like our family is to big for the little space that we have. I love my house but we just have to much stuff. My office if you can even call it that anymore has become more of a storage unit. we are just so crowded. Toys constantly take over the space that we do have in the living room and there is tripping and stepping on things constantly. I feel like I need one living area to have toys and another for relaxing because with the mess that my sweet little boy creates you can not relax. In addition to that Sean kicked me out of the shower yesterday morning so that Gabe could take a bath, I was most definitely not finished and kind of aggravated. We do so badly need another bathroom.

I love the idea of buying a home for us but I also fully realize that we do not have the extra money laying around for a house payment every month. So at the moment we are still cramped, but I love my boys and we will be just fine.

On a separate note I went back to school this week and I really am not to thrilled about any of it. Spring break is just a teaser for summer. The school tries to make us think that it's for us but really its just a trick that they are playing on us. I want it to be may so badly I can graduate and enjoy the summer. Homework sucks! Its only 2 months I can so do this! Right?

Work is going as usual there is always something to do, and with it being tax season there is always some extra. I just cant catch up with the pile on my desk no matter how hard I try.

Sean has a weekend on Friday and Saturday and wants to go to the Zoo. I don't know if we will but it sounds really nice we need to have that opportunity to spend time together. With him working nights we don't get to see each other enough.

I hope we do get the chance to go to the zoo. I'll have to let you know next week. :)

Spring Break

First off I'm sorry it's been so long since the last update. There hasn't been that much going on. School hasn't been very exciting and Sean and I are still working as usual.

Monday was the first official day of my spring break so I spent it w/ Gabe so Sean could get some rest. We went to the mall and hung out for a few hours. Now of course I cant go to the mall and not stop at Maurice's, so now I've got 4 new shirts an necklace a pair of earrings and a pair of purple shoes. Oh and 20% off coupons for later :) There is a reason I love Maurice's!!!

Well it was back to work on Tuesday :( but I guess I have to pay for my shopping trips some how. lol

Spring break isn't all fun and games 3 of my 4 teachers gave me homework. What kind of crap is that?! I think the teacher that didn't give me homework put it best when she said "It's called a BREAK for a REASON! Do not pick up your book do not read do not to anything related to my class" YAY!! at least I have 1 normal teacher :)

Beautiful

Well this week hasn't been great but it is getting better. Sean, Gabe and I are still sick but I think that we are starting to improve. Gabe went to the doctor yesterday because we thought that he had a cold, like the rest of us, and found out that he has a slight ear infection. He is now on antibiotics and already proving that they are working.

My Grandpa Kite is now back at home and doing much better. Where he was he couldn't get up and walk and now that he is at home he does. I'm glad we got him back where he belongs. :)

I'm also excited that it is B-e-a-u-tiful outside. I mean hello it 60 degrees out there and it's Friday, so perfect. :)

My daddy's birthday is tomorrow. He is gonna be the big 50, but shhhh... it's a secret. :) We are going out to dinner tonight, which is always fun.

Here is to next week being even better and my family getting over our sicknesses.

Grandpa

Well this week has been pretty good overall but we are having some problems with my Grandpa Kite. For almost as long as I can remember my Grandpa has pretty much stayed home all the time. He doesn't go to the store or anywhere else. He is just the happiest that he could be when he is at home.

About a week and a half ago my grandpa fell down on the ice and broke his hip so he went into the hospital after my uncle convinced him that that was what he needed. They told us that his hip is OK because of the type of break that it was can heal on its own. They said that he could have left that night but he wasn't strong enough to walk on it. He and my grandma live alone and she isn't strong enough to help him. So we kept him at the hospital, he was at the University for about a week and they put him on all kinds of drugs. Anyway I guess they considered him hostile (I would be too if no one would let me walk to the bathroom by my self and kept me strapped to the chair and wouldn't let me go home).

We had to transfer him to Moberly because that was the only place that was willing to take him while he was considered hostile. He really doesn't like it there, and still talks about going home all the time. His mind has been slowly going for quite a while and he just doesn't understand what is going on.

I am really worried about him I think that the drugs are making him worse. He is much more pleasant when he is off them and when he is at home. I think that it would be best if we just took him home. He isn't eating either he says that if he goes home then he will eat. I don't know I guess somebody said that he cant leave until he starts eating but shouldn't we have control over when we take him out? I mean it was my grandmas decision to put him in temporarily and it should be hers to take him out.

Anyway I'm worried and its bothering me how he is acting its just not my grandpa. I needed to get this off my chest. Thanks for listening.

KABOOM!!

Well we have been on a roller coaster lately. I seriously thought I was going to explode there for awhile. Gabe had been sick and wasn't holding down any food and we couldn't figure out what was going on. We took him to the doctor and the did some blood tests on him for allergies. Which was good because now we know why he wasn't holding down food, he's pretty much allergic to everything.

Cats
Dogs
Dust
Peanuts & Tree nuts
Potato
Wheat
Beef
Egg whites
Soybean
Milk
Barley
Oat
Rye
Tomato
Malt

In addition to that it seems like everyone I know has been in the hospital. There are like 12 people it's nuts.

Anyway we are doing better now we have put Gabe on rice milk and he seems to be doing very well. Now that we are not poisoning him anymore he is holding down food and his face is clearing up. :)

The big ONE!!!

My little boy turned one on Friday and I have no idea where the year has gone. I can't believe that he is that big. We saw our friends Ronnie and Kirstin and their son Kitryn on Friday and it really amazes me how much of a difference there is in size between the two. I know that Gabe is close to a full year older than Kitryn but I still see him as my baby and he still seems little to me.

It has been a very busy last few days we have already had two parties for him one on Friday and one on Saturday. Now we are going to have a third party tomorrow. He has gotten tons of presents and I just don't know what to do with them all. When Christmas came around we cleaned out his toy box so that all he had were the new ones which filled it right back up but now he is getting even more. We need a bigger house!

Sean and I went to see Valentines Day (the movie) yesterday with our friends Cristy and Moriah. Which was nice because Sean and I don't really get to spend that much time together because he works nights and is always trying to sleep during the day. Plus it's nice to see friends when you don't have to chase your kids all over the place.

It really has been a great week, just a little busy! And tomorrow is no exception Gabe has two doctors appointments. One at 830 and the other at 130 (just routine 1yr stuff). I have a class at 430 and Then he has his party at 6. Hopefully after that our lives will slow down just a little.
