Mommy Musings

Happy Thursday everyone!  I'll be honest, I almost didn't link up today.  Mainly because there's really not much to report.  Here's what I did:   Thursday September 19 - none Friday - nothing Saturday - 2.5 mile walk Sunday - nada Monday - zip Tuesday - nothin' Wednesday - no thing Weekly Total - 2.5 August total - 31.4 Yeaaaaaah...so that whole 50, maybe 60 miles I was hoping for this month is not going to happen.  In my defense, I seem to have come down with the plague and have been sick all week.  Saturday was the only day I felt kind of normal.  I always have trouble pushing myself when I have a cold to workout, and normally end up just sitting on the couch under a blanket instead.  I really do miss working out though and will hopefully be able to get a little something done to finish out the month. What about you?  Do you still workout when you're sick?  How do you motivate yourself?

I am anxiously awaiting to head out for my endoscopy today.  I have been dreading this for months now, but at least it's finally here.  I couldn't eat anything after midnight, could only have clear liquids from midnight till 6:30, and then nothing, nada, not even a sip of coffee .  The food thing I can do without, but this whole "no caffeine at all this morning" thing is killing me.  I'm tired and have a massive headache... a real treat to be around, let me tell you . And I know this isn't a big deal, and there are so many worse things I could go through than not being able to have coffee.  But I'm so scared that they're going to find something really bad and so focusing on stupid little things help. Anyway, while you're keeping me in your good thoughts {please!}  head over to Melissa's blog!!   I've taken it over today to talk about being a cop wife.  Go check me out!

I know today is day 3 of the Thirty Things and I should be blogging about my relationship with my parents {which is awesome by the way}But today I just can't.  Because today I am waving the white flag.  This whole grown-up thing?  Yeah I'm over it.  It's been a long week to begin with.  Emmy still on her antibiotic, Charlie has barely been sleeping since she caught our cold/cough, and I've been sleeping even less because I've been taking care of babies and I have my own terrible cough to deal with. And then yesterday, right after Skip left to work a sixteen hour shift, this happened. Out of no where this massive branch came tumbling down.  Thank God though no one was outside and it missed our shed and the girls playhouse!  Still annoying to deal with since I now have to go outside with the dogs when they go out to make sure they don't hang out under the totally unstable branch still hanging on, waiting to crush them.  And every time I look at the ...

I've been hiding a secret from all of you.  One I was too afraid to mention for fear of massive repercussions.  Until this past Saturday, I had gone 3 1/2 years of motherhood without a single puking incident. Sure we had our fair share of projectile breast milk and formula from each of the girls when they were babies, but that was it.  And that's hardly a big deal in my book.  I knew one day the stomach flu or something similar would eventually end up in our lives, but I rode out the puke-free wave as long as I could.{I also think I got to live without puke for so long since I had more than my fair share during my pregnancies} Enter Saturday.  The day of my sister's wedding rehearsal and dinner.  Skip, the girls, and I are all dressed up and ON TIME.  Something I used to pride myself on and something that rarely happens with two kids.  I had a huge diaper bag filled with everything I thought we'd need.  We hit the road and begin our hour...

You must excuse my lack of blogging the past week, but the sickies have taken over our whole house!  Little M's fever is all gone, but she is developing a cold.  And Skip and I are both sick now as well!  Between this and the 15 weeks of morning sickness I've been dealing with, I'm done!!  Seriously.  I'm quarantining us in our house until we are all better.  Or until spring comes.  Whichever comes first.  It's really a toss up these days.  Be back once I've crawled out from underneath this giant pile of tissues!
