And here is my March post. What a bad blogger I have become. Life has been busy (so what's new?) and filled of mostly good stuff, with a few bumps in the road.
Here are the highlights in no particular order:
* I am sick with a cold....I feel awful. I was out somewhere and caught myself saying, "I can't wait to get home and put on my oils!" Lol I've become one of those oil lovers! Haha! Hello On.Guard, oregano, Breathe, Lemon, etc. Let's hope they work their magic like usual.
The best part? Jacob my 10 year old was sitting next to me while I was putting them on, and he said, "Oh! I have a cough....put those on me!"
And the hubs....well, he just rolled his eyes.
Usually I am sick January through March....I haven't been sick since like December, and that only lasted for 3 days instead of 3 weeks with the oils.
*We had Jacob's 10th birthday party bonanza bash yesterday after school. (I started having that scratchy throat feeling yesterday, ugh!) So much fun to watch him enjoying life with his friends- he has been blessed with a great group of friends.
*Baseball season is upon us. Here we go....I've got my running shoes on! From now until June my head will spin. But it is so much fun, and the best part of living in a small town is that a lot of my friends have kids on the same team as my friends, so I get to see my friends at practices and games too. It's a win-win! Zack hit a home run at practice on Thursday night. Awesome! Today he was pitching at practice, and he did pretty good! (He is a really good catcher, but we lost our awesome pitcher from last year because he moved up to the next age group. So Zack will be spending some time on the mound.) There is nothing scarier that a momma watching her baby boy (who is almost a teenager- lol!!) pitching! As a mother, you spend a part of everyday helping and taking care of and doing things for your children. When they are out on the field, you can't help them at all....all you can do is watch!
*My brother's wedding in San Diego last month was awesome. It was REALLY fun! I'm happy for him that he found someone to spend the rest of his life with. It was so fun to see my relatives- my uncles and cousins, etc. that I hardly ever get to see. It makes me even more excited for my kids to finally have some cousins!! And we rounded out the trip with a trip to Disneyland. And I got to see my BFF from med school.
*Zack and Jake have gotten straight A's all year long so far! So proud of them! (Josh is still graded on the E, S, I and N system.) He is doing great too!
*The school district in our town has been hit with some huge budget cuts. They are closing and re-structuring schools. And then they just had another recent cut. So sad and scary for the future of our kids.
*I am seriously considering getting braces! I never had them as a kid, and am really envious of people with perfect, straight teeth. I will probably get them on in August after our summer vacation and after the kids go back to school. Then Zack and I can go to the orthodontist appts together- lol he will LOVE that! HA!
*The relative with cancer I mentioned is doing pretty well, considering. Chemo and radiation are done. Now for healing and gaining back strength and hopefully eating again like normal.
*Cambria went to her 3rd birthday party in the past month today! It was so cute! It was at the craft store....they painted jewelry boxes, made bracelets and necklaces with beads, and colored a wooden fish- so cute! I am loving having a daughter!
*Cambria will be 2.5 in a couple of days. I cannot believe she is that old already. I certainly don't feel 2.5 years older since bringing her home from the hospital. (Oh wait, yes I do! Who am I kidding! haha!) She already loves all things girly.....cute shoes, cute boots, she picks out her hair bows everyday, she loves Hello Kitty, Minnie Mouse, Ariel, Doc McStuffins, necklaces, bracelets, pushing her doll stroller and her purple sippy cups.
*Sophie has her 4th and final chemo for her cancer in her hind leg on Monday. She was supposed to go a couple weeks ago, but her bloodworm showed her counts were too low for chemo so it was post-poned. Even on chemo, she seems more active and lively and spunky and hungry than before this all began in September. I hope she beats the odds and survives longer than the 11-12 months projected survival- (that is with chemo, it was 4-6 months expected survival without chemo.)
*We went to Vegas for spring break. Vegas kid-style! Lots of fun at the Man.dalay pool, Tournament of Kings jousting show, etc.
That about sums up our lives for the past month. Never a dull moment!
