Took My Boy to School

by Slack, on August 21st, 2009

So, I got to take my son to school for the first time today. Well, the first time for his Kinder years. He was trying to be so brave, and almost made it, till I had him come give me a hug. He broke down and started crying. He quickly recovered once I reminded him that he was supposed to be a brave soldier. LOL

It was great to go see him there… a big boy… all grown up… … :( Where did my little boy go!? :( I feel really bad for him because I know it must be so overwhelming to him. He doesn’t understand all the good this is doing for his character, etc. Ehh, by the end of the day he’s forgotten the trauma of the morning so it’s all good. I feel really bad for Heidi though. Having to go through that every morning… well, not every morning, but you know. It’s tough to watch your son feel so scared and nervous and not rescue him…

I can’t wait to go pick him up at the end of the day! :)

How Was Your Weekend?

by Slack, on February 24th, 2008

Pretty uneventful weekend in our neck of the woods. The most exciting thing about this weekend was my allergic reaction to my cat… He was being so nice, and acting like he missed me or something. So, I pet him. Just a little. Not even a minute long. Next thing I know my eye starts feeling funny. Before I know it my eye is swelled up so big I can’t open it. I looked like Rocky Balboa after a fight with Mr T. Just for the record, Clartin doesn’t help… I know, why I thought it would I have no idea. Dimetap no worky either. Benadryl finally did the trick. OMG.

Other than that, the other news is Heidi and Rhys are back to school tomorrow. Of course I am back to work tomorrow as well. Hopefully I can make it through the week quickly and quietly. Well, here we go! Let’s see what Monday has to throw at us!

Happy Monday, Gang

by Slack, on February 18th, 2008

Ok, Monday is coming to a close. It was all a hazy ass blur to me. I was pretty much exhausted through the whole thing, and now I am getting ready to call it quits and recharge for tomorrow. Tuesday usually packs more of a punch that Monday, and I have to get ready for it.

Rhys went to the doctor today, and the decision is “Hurry up and wait more!” Doc says he doesn’t want to put tubes in Rhys’ ears given his medical history and the infection does seem to be getting better. He still has fluid behind his ears and if that doesn’t start to get better, we will go ahead with the tubes. But, for now we are continuing on the antibiotics and hoping for the best.

The meds got him feeling pretty bad, so he’s still out of school for this week. Planning on returning to school (and mom back to work) next week. Is it possible things could get back to normal next week?! NO WAY!! LOL
