Joys of Motherhood 5


You know how it goes. Its the weekend...the Dr's office is closed or your Dr isn't the one on call. They send you to an Urgent Care Center where they don't know you. The wait time is 3 hours even though there's only 3 people ahead of you. Your child who was sick for the past 2 1/2 days is now as hyper as can be. For a second you really wonder if the fever and sleepless nights were fake. Did you dream it all? Because he doesn't look sick as he runs around and hides from you and doesn't want to sit still. But yet at home I couldn't even go to the bathroom because all he wanted from me was to be held. You know how it goes. You wonder why nothing over the counter has worked for him when you can get a prescription with the same ingredients as the over the counter stuff. And 2 days into taking that medicine hes better. Hes himself. He plays. He eats. Hes better. That is another one of my joys. That i have a spot in the kitchen cabinet for all this medicine and droppers. That some things had to be moved around to make room for it. My bathroom medicine cabinet is to small. Plus I would rather it be put up in a high place and in a room i am always in than to have the kids get into it anyway. If you want your kids to "get better" quicker than any medicines out there. Then take them to the Urgent Care. In the middle of a Sunday afternoon. It works!!

WE GOT MARRIED!!

My dear-to-my-heart little sister got married. September 4, 2012. To the man she met 6 years ago to the date. Love stories like that make me smile. And all though she was hesitant 6 years ago when i twisted her arm enough and forced her to set up a MySpace, in no time she met her husband. So I like to secretly think I had a hand in all this. After all the whole MySpace thing was my idea ;) Tim and Jennifer,          I am proud of the two of you. You are both very dear to my heart and always will be. Jennifer, you already know that you are the best little sister this girl could ask for. Tim, I have liked you from day one. And over the years I have grown to love you. You are the best person in the world for my sister. (after all she was able to avoid alot of crazies online after y'all met) HA HA!! I wish you guys many many many years of happiness! You guys are amazing together. And the best aunt and uncle to Jaxon. Love always!! Jessica

All is well...and everyone is home...

Jynx came home today. He has a cast over his pins. They ended up finding more wounds that needed stitches so he has 3 different sets of stitches on his leg and his paw is still really swollen. He is on 3 different pain meds as well. And we are still baffled as to what happened. Josh went to let him and the other dog out and came in for maybe 20 minutes...went back outside and Jynx was hurt. We have searched the backyard and garage but can not figure out what has happened. So who knows. Jynx isn't saying either! It was bad enough to have caused some small places to stitch and 6 pins worth. Its really sad. His little throat is dry from where they had the tube in his throat so he cant really whimper. And the other bad thing is, is we were going to take him to get groomed and now we have to wait 8 weeks! O well. I'm really glad that he is ok and it wasn't AS bad as it could have been and hes home now. Thank goodness for puppy insurance!!!!

Back to reality....

Our trip to Austin was a blast! I have decided that if we are ever able to return there, that I need to be in alot better shape!!! I was soooo tired and sore...from walking mind you!! I would lose 10lbs from all the walking and sweating and then gain 15 every time I ate!! There was never a dull moment on this little vacation of ours...we made the most of everyday. We were glad to return home to our chunky monkey though!! And glad to announce that he has stopped sucking his thumb since he has left aunt Jennifer's!! I wish could have taken a picture of how tired she looked when we got home, because I knew this would kick her tail!! But her watching them all for us (Jaxon plus the cat and dog) was greatly appreciated and I hope nothing scared her away!! Pictures and great stories behind them coming soon....probably this Sunday because we get the computer Saturday but we are going to the local Harley Davidson Party and I won't really want to mess with the computer after picking it...
