Tigers are Tough- What about the Littles?


Life has been crazy busy lately- yesterday the Bigs had a T-ball game. By the time I got home from work it was 5:00 and Jeff literally handed me Sean and was off to his church meeting. After nursing Sean, I made dinner, (Mac-n-Cheese and fish... yummy combo I know...) fed Sean 'food', made sure the Bigs had all their gear, changed diapers and loaded everyone in the car by 5:45. It was a dreary day. Rain was in the forecast and I had a sick 3 year old. Yes. Zach is sick again. I am hoping that one of these posts soon will have answers to why Z always seems to be sick. This time it is the croupy cough and snot but thankfully no fever.
Because it was raining, I grabbed "The Princess & the Frog" movie to play for Z during the game in hopes that he would stay sitting and not want to join the Bigs in the rain. (Thank goodness for that DVD player I DIDN'T want in my car!) Zach surprisingly sat and watched the entire movie and didn't want to get out until he realized the Bigs were getting their team snack. Sean slept the entire time which also was a blessing because had he been awake, I don't think he would have lasted long just sitting in a car. Jeff arrived at the game after his meeting and was able to help coach. My mom also came to watch as did my wonderful friend, (and Ali Jane's Godmother) (Auntie) Jodi. It was great to see them brave the rain and cheer on the Bigs.
Ali Jane was typical Ali... She was all business and wouldn't even say 'hi' to Auntie Jodi when she first arrived. (But then she won't talk to me either. I'd like to say she's too into 'game mode' to be distracted by hellos, but...) Joe on the other hand was typical Joe and had no problem chatting it up! They both are loving playing ball and so serious about it. As it started to rain near the last inning, I asked Joe if he wanted his rain coat to which he said, "No mom. Tiger's are tough!" I just wish that our Zach was as tough. As I write this he is finally doing better- but I can't sleep... Sean is up with croup... Here we go again...

    Poor baby! It's so hard having sick kiddos. I hope you can find a solution soon.

    That looks like so much fun. How nice that Zach
    watched the movie. Hope he feels better soon.
    I pray that you get sometime when no one is ill. Love what he said "Tigers are tough" so darn cute.

So tired...

It's getting to me... I don't know if it's the sleep deprivation or the crazy schedule of being a full time working mom and having four kids at home... but it's getting to me. I am so tired. Last night I was up at midnight with Sean, then at 2:30 with Joe who was sick and threw up, I got back to bed at 3 and slept for 15 minutes until Sean woke up again. I let him cry for 45 MINUTES until I could take it no more, staggered into his room and nursed him. And then I was up before six to start my day which looks something like this.. Wake up, shower, get ready for work prior to kids waking up... (praying that they don't wake up) then waking the bigs who can dress themselves, and getting Zach changed and dressed, then downstairs to make breakfast for three bigs while putting together pump parts to take to school (that were drying over-night), clean up from breakfast, meds for Zach which now include a breathing treatment (from last Tuesday's doc apt), shoes on a...

Saying Goodbye...

Well, we knew this day would come.  Prayed that it would be clear and it was. On Sunday night I laid with Cobi as I have (more so in recent weeks).  He asked to go outside at one point and he was out longer than usual.  I called for him to come inside and he didn't come. I had been cleaning the kitchen and I thought perhaps I had let him inside.  My brain isn't the best. I ran upstairs and to all his favorite places, but he was nowhere to be found.  I grabbed my shoes, wrapped my arms around me and went out to the cold calling for my baby, in a panic.  He came to me slowly from out in the darkness and when we got inside I sat with him, wrapped my arms around him and cried. As promised.  He had told me.  This was it. Somehow I went to school and made the call.  The last appointment of the day was at 5:20pm and since Joey wasn't getting home until 6:00, I took it as a consult and then also booked the first appointment for t...

It's the Honest Scrap!

So some of you know that I have two blogs. This blog- which has reflected on my day to day adventures with my living children, things I love and the occasional "Pause" blog where I remember my angels. My other blog (That I refer to as my 'Pause' blog) has been an entire blog about my angels-a therapy to me in a sense- how they've changed me, restored me and helped me. I have met a huge community of mothers who have lost children and have been nominated by two of them for this Honest Scrap award (for my 'Pause' blog) The idea is similar to the last 'award' I wrote about, my new friends stated in their blogs that: The award is about bloggers who post from their heart, who write from the depths of their soul. In order to accept the award I must nominate seven fellow bloggers as recipients, and then list ten honest and interesting things about myself. So- although I was nominated on 'Pause'- I'm writing on 'Days' because I have sh...
