Home with the sickie

Will woke up in the middle of the night vomiting. He was ok by 6 am. But of course, I stayed home with him today. Tony had to go to an uncle's funeral this morning. His parents flew home for the funeral -so this evening they are going out to dinner. I sent Tony and the girls to have fun with them. Kenny was so sweet when she left -she asked Tony if she had grown since last summer and if Grandma and Grandpa would remember her. We have not seen them since they went home to Arizona last September. Addie was concerned that she did not remember what they looked like.
Will is sleeping right now on the couch. I am debating if I should wake him or not -it is 6:30pm. Ack, I hate it when he does this. If I wake him he will be crabby -if I let him sleep -who knows what time he will go to bed tonight.
I went to my first Weight Watcher meeting yesterday. I have not started on 'the diet' yet. I need to do some shopping first and have not had a chance yet.
Tomorrow I get to go shopping with mom and my sister! Woohoo -we have not done anything together since November.

Last night of work -and off for 9 days!

I am excited. I have worked every weekend since January with only one day off a week. I am now returning to my original schedule after tonight. I will be at home with my family for the next 9 nights. I am excited.
Kenny has her first orthodontic appointment tomorrow to start the process of braces. We will be writing our first check to pay for braces. Her smile in the end -I know will be worth it.
Addie is going for a play date at a friend's home. I am going to MAKE Will sit on the potty chair tomorrow for the first time. I gave him warning and told him that we would try tomorrow. I know he is ready -but he is stubborn. Wish us luck.
Tony and I actually had a few conversations this weekend -some with interruption -some not. It was good. I wish he had the day off with us tomorrow but his company is in a planned outage so no time off the months of March and April.
I have so much planned for myself to actually accomplish this week. I am sure I will never get it all done -but I have good intentions.

Not much going on...

I was up early to get the girls off to school today. After they left I never sat down, I was busy cleaning and doing laundry. My best friend came over for a chat and we went and had a quick lunch. We live in a small town of 2000 and the only kid friendly place to eat is Dairy Queen. It gets old after 3 years:( but the conversation was good:)
After M and I parted ways -it was back home to paying bills and getting ready for work. Will watched his favorite show Dora The Explorer, I love to hear him shout out the answers before Dora does. I also love to hear him sing the songs and do his version of the Dora dance.
I can not wait to get home and crawl into bed tonight. Tomorrow we will all be home as a family and no school means sleeping at least past 6:30 am. I will actually get to see the husband. When I work evenings -we only see each other for a minute or two while we swap child possesion. I hate working opposite shifts.

It has been a long day

Worked both jobs today 14 hours, I am tired. Good news is that I am almost done with day 2 of 5 that I have to work this week. After my 5 days is up -I will be off from the hospital for 9 days. I can NOT wait! I have been working full-time the last 3 months -every weekend- does not help family life when dh works straight days -weekdays.
Tomorrow morning my best friend is coming over for a visit in the morning. I am excited -it has been awhile since we have just been able to sit and chat. I also need to balance checkbook and write out bills and do laundry -these things I actually enjoy. I could do the SAHM thing real well. I love cleaning and all that wifely -mom stuff.
Haven't blogged in quite a long time -I am still debating if this is something I want to do or not. I have decided to just keep plugging away at it -maybe I will discover what it is I am trying to do.
I have been feeling very down recently, I have a co-worker that just had a double mastectomy -breast cancer. She has now found she has bone cancer as well as a shadow found on her liver via MRI. My mom is a breast cancer survivor. Thank you Lord. It gets depressing working in a hospital and seeing so much pain and anguish. Especially in my job position -we do not see the good outcomes -only the bad.
I feel overwhelmed with all the death and crap going on in this world. It scares me to be raising my kids -I fear for their future.
