Tired

I'm tired of myself! Even though I try not to complain toooo much to others, I know the voice in my head has been complaining a lot. A little over a week ago Charlie suddenly started sprouting more teeth like crazy! I am pretty sure all 4 of his top teeth are coming through at once, which has probably been pretty painful for him. He's had ups and downs, but I feel bad that he's not happy, most likely because he's hurting. He's been waking up between 5:30-6:15 every morning, when combined with several night wake up calls makes one exhausted mama! Then, Kenley got some type of nasty stomach-flu bug. She had fevers up and down from Monday-Friday. I took her to the doctor on Thursday (our one time leaving the house) and she is finally on meds and on the mend.

I am really not a good "stay-at-home" mom because I hate being home :) It has been a long week staying home, and I'm sure the kids are feeling it too. Kenley has been begging to go back to preschool since she missed both days and ballet. She was even begging me to take her to the gym to play in the child care area. It seems like between all of us there has been someone sick for the last 3 months. I'll blame it on this terrible winter. We're sick of being sick! I know things could be much worse, but it has not been our best week.  I'm just praying for health for all of us, sleep, Spring to get here ASAP, and hopefully things will be all good.

On the positive end, it is official that I am taking another year off from my job!  I am so blessed that I have already had all of this time, and I am so thankful to be able to take another year off. I am also lucky that I would have the option to go back to my job in fall of 2015 if I need to. I have started looking into other part-time jobs  that may allow me to just work a few hours a week, but I am so happy to know that my focus will be on the kids. If anyone comes across this post that is hiring flexible, part-time workers, let me know!

Before our week of hibernation, my sister and I took our mom to the Lady Antebellum concert, which  was my mom's bday gift. It was an amazing concert, and we had great seats. It was a fun girls night out; very rare for the 3 of us to be together without the kids! We also celebrated my Grandpa's 80th birthday with the family, which was a fun time.

We are supposed to have a day of 50 degree weather this week, although it also might snow later in the week, but I'm going to try to be positive!  The weekend is already looking better since Ray and I are planning on going to dinner and Go-go is going to watch the kids.
