I know you’ve all seen this over the last couple of days, but it never gets old! Every time I see it, it makes me laugh! And Stratton thinks it’s Hilarious, too! Maybe that’s because he actually knows what they are saying!! Ha-ha!
Have a great Thursday!
Thought I’d try something new!! On Monday’s I will [try] to share with you something that makes my life EASIER!! I know we all need some help here!! Especially on Mondays!
E-MEALZ Easy Meals for Busy and Frugal Families
I don’t think I have ever shared this on my blog, but I love this program! I subscribed about 2 years ago, and I don’t use it as much as I used to, but that is because I have to deal with such a picky eater in the house (no, not Stratton. I’m talking about Jarrod!) and don’t find myself as organized as I used to be! haha! But I do download the menu every week and I love getting to use the recipes when I can! If you are tired of eating the same stuff over and over every week and love new, EASY recipes. Then try it out! It’s only $15 for 3 months and if you don’t like it you can cancel your subscription. It’s easy to download, and the recipes are not only super easy they are also usually pretty good. I think it’s worth your while to check it out and will hopefully make mealtimes a little easier!!
Even though I am not off for spring break, I am having a great week so far! Stratton’s daycare is closed this week so Stratton is splitting the week between Hickory Ridge and Searcy!! So while he’s off having fun with the Grands, Jarrod and I have big plans for the week!
These are my goals for the week:
1. Go to work well rested and arrive not just on time but EARLY
2. Run errands and shop after work, not at lunch like a crazy person!
3. Watch my favorite TV programs on the night they come on, at the time they come on!
4. Eat whatever we want with no regard to our child's temperamental palette
5. Go to bed early!!!! Like 8pm!
6. Enjoy a house free of toy clutter, sippy cups, shoes and toys scattered about
7. Get a pedicure!
So far so good! I have been about 10-15 minutes early to work, I got a pedicure on Monday and ran some errands after work! And Monday night I was all ready for bed by 9pm and watched Castle snuggled up in my bed, so I could immediately turn over and go to sleep when it went off!! Ahhh the luxury! Another good thing about spring break is there is NO traffic in the mornings! Love it!!
I think we are finally over the stomach bug, or whatever it was! Stratton hasn't been sick since Tuesday! He is definitely getting his appetite back! The boy is about to eat us out of house and home!! He is constantly eating!! But I guess he needs to gain back the almost 3 lbs he lost in the past week somehow! He has also started throwing some little (ok, not so little) tantrums. I was hoping it was just because he was sick and didn't feel good, but I am afraid the "Terrible Two's" may be here!
Here are some things Stratton has been up to this week. . .
So, do you think it's ingrained in the male DNA somewhere that they need to take reading material in the bathroom with them??
Right now he loves anything "Mouse" including, his stuffed Mickey, Mickey Mouse pj's and of course Mickey Mouse clubhouse. Which we now have on the dvr so we can watch it any time of the day or night!! I would say that tractors (John Deere dvds) and Mouse are pretty much his only tv requests these days. And since we have been cooped up in the house for a week we have had our fill of them and then some!! Between James Coffey's John Deere theme song and the Hot Dog song/dance, I am convinced repeated exposure to these songs could be used as torture methods in the military!!
He was amused by his shadow and he sunlight coming through the window. It was funny watching him try to grab it!
Loving on Taki, she is such a good sport!
I should have known better than to say we were all well and fine. . . Last Thursday Stratton got sick again. I picked him up about 4:30 he had been sick at school and on the way home he threw up in my car. . .again. Did I mention that my next vehicle WILL have leather seats?? Thursday night was horrible to say the least. He got sick about every 2 hours and was so miserable. Jarrod and I were both up with him pretty much all night. Luckily, Jarrod was off on Friday so he stayed home with him. He started running a fever Friday afternoon so we took him to the Dr. He said it was just a virus, and to keep him hydrated and it would pass. . . well, when he was still throwing up on Monday we went back to the Dr and they said the same thing, but to bring him back if it didn't get better or got worse. Tuesday he was still getting sick, so I called and they wanted to see him, so back to the Dr we went again. . . we were afraid they would want to admit him to the hospital, but he wasn't too dehydrated so this time he went ahead and put him on a reflux medicine for a few days in case the strep from last week had caused him to have a temporary reflux problem. Thankfully, today he hasn't been sick and seems to be feeling better I don't know if the virus is finally out of his system or if the meds are working, but either way I am so relieved! Whew! It has been one LONNNNGGG week.
