Ear Piercings!


I remember asking Ali Jane early in the school year if she'd like to get her ear's pierce.  Not that I thought she should, but I recall getting mine done in 3rd grade and I knew she was at an age where she could take care of them. She looked and me and said, "I think I'm going to wait until I'm in 5th grade."
Earlier this week she started talking about pierced ears~ a character in her book had gotten them pierced, her best friend had the 'most adorable pair of earrings' on the other day...  I looked at her and said, "Ali, would you like to get your ears pierced?"  She smiled and said, "I think so..."
We looked up some things on the internet.  I told her how they do it and we watched a video of a 6 year old getting her ears pierced.  Ali still liked the idea, so after swim lessons we picked up my mom, my best friend (also Ali's Godmother) and were on our way for a Girls Afternoon out!
 Of course we chose the busiest shopping day of the year to go. The mall was packed but I was lucky to find a parking spot right away!  Ali picked out her earrings and looked really nervous in the chair.  She did a good job though.  There was no crying or screaming but she did feel really sick after she got them pierced.  She just wanted to sit down and she looked a bit pale.  I suggested that she have the sucker the lady gave her (she had breakfast but then went swimming and hadn't had lunch yet).
Once she had some sugar, she perked up and started looking like herself again.  She was so pleased and happy!  We decided to go to lunch (Olive Garden~ Her choice), but first there was one more person who was getting her ears pierced.
 My mom decided to get second holes (since she says her earlobes are getting old and saggy~ she's so funny).  The first time she got them pierced was with her friend, some ice, alcohol and a needle (she was in her 20s).  I think this was probably a lot easier~ and bonus... she's giving Ali the earrings when she takes them out in six weeks!

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...
