my son the hillbilly (mom, remind you of someone, lol)

Baby Jace

I spoke to soon about Jace being a happy go lucky self.......He is sick....He has croup.....And now he is on breathing treatments every 4 hrs, antibotics, and steroids....Hopefully this is a short lived illness....

Baby Jace

Jace is getting big..........Such a little sweetie pie.........He loves to give hugs and kisses now.........those slobbery, drool filled kisses are the best!! He is really starting to smile more and more..........His whole face lights up when he smiles including his eyes.....he has this sparkle in them that I can't put my finger on.........(Austin has a sparkle to but his is different, not sure how to explain it) Still no teeth but today he decided that he was going to chew on the nipple of his bottle......Yikes, time to change him to the cheap bottles/nipples...........We will have to see how that goes.............I love my playtex nursers but I can't afford to replace the nipples everytime I turn around (4.49 for 2 nipples) So I believe he is teething......He still isn't sleeping through the night but is doing much better about sleeping.............

He will have to have the RSV shot in a couple of weeks due to his prematurity and him being on the vent for 8 days........he will also be 6 mths old when the flu shot becomes available to he will be getting that as well........Plus we were informed yesterday that it is highly recommended that we get the H1N1 vaccine.........She explained that babies who spent time on the vents can have weaker lungs then other babies............So she highly recommends it for our family..........God forbide if someone else were to get sick in this family..........I think momma might loose it................

Update on Austin

Yesterday was the appt for Austin for a followup on his mushroom poisoning...........He has to have one more set of labs but we won't do them until the 5th of April when they will do his labs for school anyways (iron levels) but she honestly thinks everything will turn out fine and I do to............

Austin will not touch the mushrooms, he comes running for daddy, mommy or sissy to come kill them..........so I don't think we will have to worry about them anymore..........but sure as I let my guard down something else will happen..........

Accountibility

I never slowed down yesterday to land at home to work on my list.......So my list is as follows

Living Room~complete deep clean (I do this once a week but it seems like I have to do it because boys' little hotwheels end up under the couch, the chairs everywhere, so we pull them out and sweep under them.....We are in the middle of this now.........Half done...........I will sweep and mop this floor today....... Done

Hallway~needs swept and mopped

Laundry~its a never ending battle!! in progress

Kitchen~finish the dishes, get them all put away. The counters wiped off, get dh to get the broken microwave down and the shelf moved down so we can put the new one on it and get it off my counter (I have very little counter space, this will help) in progress

If I can get this accomplished this weekend it will be awesome...........My kids will definantly deserve a treat............

Accountibility

Ok, this is my first post dedicated to accountibility.........on my list today

7:45 have to be at Alyssa's mental health appt with the dr, we are going to see if there is just something else we can do to manage her behavior. done

I will meet with her principal after that Done

come home, do a load of laundry that is calling my name, I started it last night in the middle of the night when the boys were throwing up

Do at least one load of dishes

sweep the hallway, kitchen and living room

Pick up Joshua and Alyssa from school and head to appt number 2 for Alyssa and follow up for Austin, talk to the dr about the swine flu vaccine and Jace getting the RSV shot Done

Home to have a hot meal....... Done

I think that is enough for friday...........

Now hopefully this will be a start of good things to come.

Mushrooms

well all of you know about Austin eating the mushrooms by now.........I have posted the pics of them...........Since then we have been very diligent about keeping them picked out of the yard........NOw they are growing in the pasture with the horse.......YIKES!!! then this afternoon having to go into town for feed for our chickens, I backed up in the yard because Kent asked me to and he found 4 more huge ones.............in the kids' play yard no less..........

Last night on the weather, the weather meterologist figured up in the 1st 18 days of Sept we have now had 14 days of rain, no wonder I am complaining.......Really I love the rain but seriously we do not need any for a couple of days.........There comes a point and time that it becomes to much of a good thing.........we can not get the grass cut in the kids' play yard so Kent is going to tie the horses out there and let them have some of that good ole' grass........its almost as tall as the trampolene...........they will have it mowed down in no time........
