There has been a lot going on lately. I have been checking in, but I haven't had much to say. I am going on about three hours of sleep..and I am still awake. I should have been in bed two hours ago. The fates like to tease me though. The kiddos did not want to fall asleep in a timely manner tonight. And the bright lights from my computer screen sure isn't helping me with feeling sleepy. Here are a few things that have been happening..
M and I celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary. He was at first opposed to doing much. Same old, same old was good enough for him. But I planted the seed for a official celebration last November and have been working on growing that puppy a lot. M booked a hotel room and we made plans to get away. We dropped the boys off at my MIL's and left happily. I think we were both looking forward to the quiet. It was very nice. We went shopping, we took our time..M took me to the oldest joint in town, The Frostop, where we ate hamburgers and munched on fries. Then we looked for some cast iron skillets, because my non-stick pans that have survived these twelves years are starting to show their wear..and then we went and saw a movie. I wanted to watch "Hanna", but we were late getting to the theater, so M picked "Priest" I spent most of the movie hiding behind my hands. I hate movie that have a lot of silent, waiting for something to pop out unexpectedly movies.. We then decided to try a new restaurant in town..and I would not recommend it. It was alright, but I would have been much happier with my Cafe Rio salad. We had a soccer game to go too in the morning, so our anniversary was short, but sweet. 12 years. I honestly cannot believe it has been that long.
We also received the news that my Papa Gentry had passed away. Although this news was not unexpected, it is still hard to loose a loved one. I don't think it has hit yet. Most likely it won't until I am sitting in the funeral, and I realize that I will not hear my Grandpa tell me stories any more in this life. it is times like these, however, that remind me of my faith. And that I know my Pops in with his wife, and that he is happy, they are reunited after 18 long years. It's about time, I think it what Grandma would say to him. And he would tease her about wanting to stay longer.. Grandpa loved to tease. I am grateful for the time I had to spend with him. I was lucky enough to visit him often when I moved down to Dixie.
And to top off this week, E has decided to become sick. Poor kid. He had a low grade fever for three days, and he kept telling me his bum hurt..so i took him to the doctor. Two hours later, we decide to just do a catheter and find out if he had a UTI, and after the pain and torture..he was fine. Yesterday his nose started running, and now he has a cough. He runs away from me whenever I need to change his diaper! Poor, poor, baby!
A highlight, however, of this week, was visiting with my long lost (well, not lost, but very far away) friend, Denise, she even brought along her husband so that I could meet him! One day, I will make it over to Switzerland to see her! :)
that is life now for us, isn't it? sick kiddos and little sleep. i feel like my lack of sleep coincides directly with my hormones and those are somewhat predictable, but it sucks still. glad you got to celebrate your anniversary! we settled for dinner at home, and well, pretty much nothing else. i feel old and married now. ;)
