Heart Attack!


 So Valentine's Day landed on a Saturday this year (I can't remember the last time it did).  I was SHOCKED when I got flowers at work.  I literally thought that perhaps it was from the kids (students) or something because I didn't think it would be from Jeffy- I'm a stickler about spending money- but he surprised me and what a wonderful surprise it was!  12 beautiful red roses!!
He's been out of sorts lately, just negative- It may be that time of year.  We had a good talk about keeping things in perspective- seeing the positive in even the crummy times.  It really was a great conversation and one I know we've had before because he tends to go to the worst possible place.  His card seemed fitting and perfect!  It didn't just change my day, but he's been feeling much less stressed too (could be because we've had some time off work).
I kept up my tradition of giving everyone a heart-attack!  I think I have as much fun doing it as they have getting it.  What I do is just write little messages on hearts about SPECIFIC things that I love about them.  I type them out on the computer first to keep everything straight, but each person got 20 hearts!
I didn't get the balloons this year.  Jeffy went out with old guy friends Friday night (it was funny- when I asked him about how it went he said everyone just commented on his hair... he still has a lot of it and it's not gray- though I find gray incredibly attractive and it is coming in on his facial hair mostly) so I had to get home fast so he could leave and couldn't really bring the kiddos out with me for something like that.
The heart attack was still a hit, even without the balloons!  And this year- I got a little love note back!  Made my day!!  Felt very loved!

    That was a nice surprise. I was just reading that the best surprise is sending them to work and I agree! I love how you celebrate Valentine's Day at your house.....

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...
