St. Patrick's Day



 Years ago a tradition started when Joe tried to catch a leprechaun. He never succeeded but the littles still have hope that we'll get him one of these days. Al even made reward signs!
They worked together and actually had a pretty good plan. But in the morning there was a mess~ no leprechaun but they did find the first clue.
 One clue led to the next and the Littles were on a scavenger hunt (bright and early because leprechaun hunting is almost as fun as Santa). They snaked around the house until even the Bigs joined in. They finally found the last clue under the sink.
And along with the clue was their beloved sugar cereal (Lucky Charms), some green glow sticks, little hats, beads and mints! Pretty fun stuff!!
The final clue said: You did it!
You found my treasure it's true!
I hope today you'll be wearing green, not blue!
For today is a day to celebrate ME!
Your leprechaun friend you didn't see.
For I am quick and smart and fun,
and it's time for me to be on the run.
So I will see you again next year
But you won't see ME I'll make that clear!
So enjoy your treasure and remember to play
And have a happy, happy, happy St. Patrick's Day!
They were VERY happy to have their cereal with green milk! And I was eager to get to Room 119 to see if there was any damage at work...
 Nana was going to visit TZ and Maddy and the leprechaun had left some extra hats so they got some too. As for me... I survived the day but barely. Those pesky leprechauns sure do tire me out!

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...
