Keep on truckin'

I've come to a point in my life where I'm really trying to just let things roll as they will.  Some days I succeed, some days I don't.  But I'm trying.  Life circumstances haven't made it easy to have that outlook lately, but I'm determined to triumph.  I will choose to be happy.  :)

I believe mother nature is having an identity crisis lately.  One day it's warm, the next it's cold, the next warm, the next cold.  And so on and so forth.  Mother Nature, here is my plea to you: Please figure out that you like the warmth and let it be warm!  The rollercoaster temps have caused all of us to be hit with some sort of nasty chesty/croupy cough.  Not fun.  The kids are feeling the worst of it.  Luke is still on antibiotics from his sinus infection and the cough is so bad for him that we've been giving him daily nebulizer treatments.  Jocelyn is developing the same cough.  The bad part for her is that when she starts to feel off or not well, she gets grumpy.  I know it's hard for kids to cope when they don't feel well, but it's hard for mommy & daddy to cope when she's not feeling well AND she's grumpy and not listening. 

I'm looking forward to the upcoming weekend.  It's been a long, drawn-out emotional week that has left me drained.  I have 2 things I'd like to accomplish this weekend, so hopefully I get to do that.  We shall see.

Hot dogs, crackers & fries.....oh my!

I feel like Lucas lives off of hotdogs, crackers & french fries.  Ok, so he eats more than that, but not a lot.  I can squeeze in some Ramen noodles and some mashed potatoes every now and then.  He's not big on mac n' cheese, which is surprising, cause well, he's a kid and most seem to dig that.  Ah well, he's eating, that's what matters.  I know his taste will grow as he does.

We're having a mommy & Lukey afternoon while Jocelyn & daddy have some golf bonding time.  They're at the driving range.  The temperature says its about 54 degrees, but it still doesn't look all that warm out.  Hope they're having fun.  All of us have been feeling cabin feverish this weekend, all stuck in the house.  Lukey is working on a late lunch since he napped from 12 - 1:30.  He's actually entertaining himself by clapping in the highchair now.....oh, that and throwing bits of hotdog over the edge to Boomer. 

This weekend has been less than productive.  I have been so tired & haven't felt all that great.  Lucas is recovering from a sinus infection and has been waking at night.  I thought I'd get caught up on sleep this weekend, but that hasn't happened.  Oh well, back to the routine tomorrow....hopefully we can settle back into a restful pattern.      One can wish can't they?! :)
