Thursday we went and hung out with Cheryl and the boys and ate at chik-fil-a.. We played in the play pen and Tage was all over climbing the slide.. it was great he has finally got the braves to climb things. He is doing better and I'm a germ fobe cleaning our carts and washing hands like crazy.. I cant have one more germ.. and now Seth has a cold...brother... Yesterday we hung out, cleaned the kitchen and vaccumed. R is going to Hawaii today.. I'm jealous!!
I'm working today and tomorrow.. Superbowl is tomorrow, we're going to Jeff's should be fun.. Me anf Cristel are planning to go see a movie and leave the boys home with "the boyz" I am so excited!! A Night out!!
I'm in trans today.. yey..

Today I worked and got floated to Peds.. it was ok atleast I got to work!! Tage did good at my moms! I had a failure to thrive baby and had alot of time with the mom.. I feel good about it!! I hope I helped her if only just ONE way!! Tage is doing better, but he has the little cold sore on his nose and today he has a rash on his trunk.. please go away by the weekend!! We didnt hane with the Allen's the other day, but I think tomorrow we will.. man that chick is busy!! Monday we took Lisa her b-day present and I got some FAB new pants that are a WOPPING size 14... I cant believe I'm a 14, but I was a 12 before I had Tage, what do I expect?? I am losing a little weight.. thats good.. Yesterday my home teachers came to visit.. thats always fun.. Seth is taking a math test tonite..Hope for a good score!!!

Today I went to the dr and my thyroid is finally in normal range.. YeS!! no more palpitations!! Dr Simmons is great.. Any guy that gives me what I want.. Is GREAT!!haha..
Tage is doing ok, but I'm just waiting for it to hit again, since we stopped the meds.. Me and Seth are doing good, I want to be nice all the time and I want us to get along really well!!
I think we're going to go play with Cheryl and the boys.. That will be fun..

Yesterday we set up the Clarke Directory Blog.. It was fun putting it together... Also today was the first day off prednisone and abx.. Tage was a little croupy sounding tonite and I gave him a treatment.. I am hoping for a return of health soon!! Sunday is the super bowl and I'm hoping we can go to Jeff's and play.. I am so tired all the time and I feel really onry!! It is so hard when Tage cries and whines all day long!! He still doesnt sleep thru the night all the way and is up at 630 am EVERY morning!!
Right now I'm watching The Bachelor and can I say JASON IS HOT!!! And we got a covered kitty litter today hoping Budda with poop where he's supposed to...
Tage has cankers all in his mouth.. on his tongue, on the sides, every where AND he has a cold sore on his nose.. THANKS MOM!!

Well yesterday I worked and Seth watched Tage.. They stayed home ALL DAY!! I know that was hard for seth, but with Tage on prednisone I worried about immunosuppression..I planned on going to church, but Seth talked me out of it... I'm trying to keep my weight off from being sick.. its hard..
Today we're just going to hang out I guess.. Tage is so whiny and it is so annoying!! I wish he could tell me what he wanted and not whine all the time.. that is my number one complaint right now..
My fav things:
Mt Dew and Coke
Modern medicine and technology
Dreams and deep sleep
pizza
Tage's hugs and loves
Tage when he holds his own bottle and cup!
Tage when he says "MOM" and then procedes to say somethin REALLY important..

Today was a good day!! Tage is feeling better, but we are continuing the tx's. I went to the eye dr and got my blood drawn for Thyroid labs.. Seth is having a bad day.. I hope tonite goes ok, I'm not looking forward to work tomorros, but am if that makes sense.. Anyway, TAge is making alot of noise, gotta go.

Well yesterday we got our neb machine.. It has worked great and Tage was started on prednisone again.. Things were working by the end of the day I just hope it lasts!! Me and Seth have been getting along great lately.. I am trying so hard to not over react and I suggested to Seth that when we ask each other a question and might be offended that we count to 5 and then respond.. I have forgetton to do it, but I feel like my reactions are better and so are his.. He has helped me in saying.. "thats not something to get mad about" also I don't know if its because tage is sick, but I just dont have the energy to fight.. that is good.. I hope in continues to get better.. Tage is so sick of medicine that we fight everytime he needs a med it is SOOO frustrating!! Today I'm getting my hair done!! I feel really ugly with my hair this color cause every picture I look FUG!! I am going back a little brown and cutting.. Here's a picture of what I'm talking about.. UGH!! Tage looks so cute though!!

Am I really that UGLY?? I feel like I have aged so much in the last year.. I'm trying to work on not stressing... I need to intervene NOW!!

Today I worked, Tage stayed at my moms and seems a little better today after getting here to get him... Steve finally got the FLU that has floated thru our whole family.. so we're staying at moms a little longer today.. Work was crazy I had 4 babes, plus basically took care of the other 3 in the room.. nuts.. my feet hurt!! We are so slow only like 12 babes.. I am still down a couple lbs from being sick and it feels good, my scrubs are a little roomy.. YAY!!

Today we made 2 trips to the InstaCare.. One for abx for 'strep' and the second for a breathing tx.. Tage's tonsils are huge and white.. He has lost his voice and things aren't getting better like I thought they would, life isn't all good!! We are still doing humidifier and everythig else.. I'm tired and hoping tonight will involve sleep.. here's hopin.. Dr.Brown was our dr. he was GREAT!!

Today I got called off (which didn't work out that well cause I have now missed ALL my shifts this week) and took the oppurtunity to vaccum like CRAZY!! It filled the whole canister..YUK!!
Today wasn't that good of a day! Tage is still couging and not sleeping well so he's onry and crying constantly.. It bugs! It has really been warm! I have been a little short fused today, also... Tage's new show he loves is Yo Gabba Gabba.. It's quite enteraining.. What I love: He hits softly and then smiles at you and gives you a big hug!!
We got in the jet tub today..
I'm having a hard time getting Tage to eat fruits and veggies, I feel like all I feed him is bread( sandwiches, grill chz, etc) Every meal I'm trying to offer him one or the other..
We'll see
Also Right now if you say "I Love You" He copies you, but laughs when u say "You" It's so cute!!
Any, pretty uneventful day I didn't even get ready haha.. I rarely do.. More tomorrow

K.. So last night we played doggy day care and it SUCKED.. A-L's dog would not SLEEP!! I had her come get him at 3AM! And since I'm still recovering from the flu I am extremely tired and don't feel good today.. On top of that Tage was up coughing all night and I am beat! I really just need a day to re-coup.. Today me and Tage are just hanging out.. His hair cut looks a little better (ya know how it does a couple days later) I still get a little queasy when I eat.. Man I haven't been sick since before motherhood and it's alot easier to recover when you can actually SLEEP.. Tage is being so sweet.. It makes it easier to be sick and tired.. I guess.. more later..
So I guess I'm taking Tage to the Dr. for his croup it seems to be getting worse.. Hopefully we can get some decadron and be done with it.. He is so tired and gets so upset that he keeps coughing..

The Dr gave us prednisone for his upper airway, praying it works and we turn a corner!!! I think thats all for today!

What an angel!!

My first journal post...
Today we are just recovering from the flu and Tage has Croup... Yay.. I'm giving him Mucinex and rubbing Vicks on his chest.. i don't know that either workd REAL well, but owell..I was home all weekend sitting on the pot and hugging the garbage can!! It was so much fun!! I never want to forget how precious water is!! I was so thirsty and everytime I drank anything...up it came!!
Seth stayed hoe cause he was "sick" yesterday.. He never threw up though.. I wished just a little that he could experience parenthood while in that state.. I got too!!
I also cut Tage's hair today.. His previous "cuts" were really only trims I found out today.. He was starting to look like a girl so I said screw it, I'm cutting it.. it is really hard and everytime I cut his hair I think I will kill him, but somehow we both survive!! I should really just have someone else cut it and save us both the "gray hairs" as Seth says..
I was supposed to get my IUD out today, but we decided to put it off a couple months since I basically just used all my pto being sick, yes its ridiculous AND we need to get AFLAC..
Also we are puppy sitting A-L's puppy tonight, that should be interesting...
