Hello All~

Well things haven't been so well for Blade today or yesterday... he has somekind of flu bug, puking and diaherria... POOR KID!! but yesterday he only threw up once and then later on in the evening a little more but WOW the kid has a sore butt.
So last night he layed around on the couch and today he perked up some and then was seeming to act ok this afternoon but he took like a 3 hour nap. I got the boys out of school today since Issac was sick last night too... he had a really bad headache again - so time I made an eye dr. appt... since he had been to the chiropractor several times and that didn't seem to help a whole lot, so guess what? Issac is getting glasses again... he had them before but then the dr. said he didn't need them anymore... but now we are going to have them again. He is depending too much on his right eye to do all the work so needless to say his prescription will be higher on one side vs. the other. Issac is nervous about getting glasses... was very careful picking them out, looked them all over carefully... too much of his mom in him maybe??? So got the glasses and we were off to soccer... in the meantime the boys tell me that Skye and Marissa told them at school today that Samantha ( their first cousin and only cousin on the Miller side) was in the hospital... my heart sank! since Jer called me late last night saying he got a message from one of his brothers saying he thought it was his mom who was in the hospital, but it turns out that it was Samantha... confusing... so at this time none of us knew what was going on, so I did call Jer immediately and sent Brad a msg on his phone since I didn't know if he was at hospital or not and well either way I didn't want to bother calling him since cell phones are restricted in hospitals anymore... sure enough she was in the hospital, the POOR KID!!!! they think its a bacterial infection, at least that is what Brad told me today... nothing worse than having your own kid sick... I know I hate the feeling but to have them hospitalized is 3 times worse!!! Been there done that... and its just a sick feeling inside any parent.
So the kids and I went out to order her some balloons to have delievered since I didn't want to stop up at hospital with Blade being sick, would of loved to have taken the boys up to see her but didn't want to take that chance, but my heart goes out to both Brad and Julie as well as little Samantha!!!!
So after we get balloons ordered, its about 4:45ish... and the coach manager from soccer calls... practice was cancelled... I could of screamed but today it was no big deal since we had to go to Issac's appt. and get Blade a prescription for an ointment... but if we would of been just coming to DBQ for soccer I wouldn't of been happy... but life goes on, its about the little things you do for your kids when they are young, right?
Got bedrooms all cleaned today but got no laundry done like I said I was going to do today... tomorrow I guess. I have all clothes ready to go for Saturday's wedding so that is a HUGE plus for me!
One week ago today we bought the new Toyota... I am getting used to it, there are always thing about any vehicle you like and dont like, right? But overall its not a van... no comparison there but thats ok!! The things I miss most bout the van are the automatic locks when the vehicle starts... not sure why toyota doesn't have this feature, and the other thing is the "child mirror" but both minor things! I LOVE the sunroof!!!!!! the heated seats!!! Jer told me to drive it so I am driving it :) until I get my SOLARA... :) ha ha just kidding... the boys always said mom should get a convertible... so I did look at it while we were car shopping... its sweet! so I joke around with Jer about that since he picked the Highlander out. SO it just an inside family joke, not likely to happen.
Well Jer will be home tomorrow finally... YEAH!!! back to the grind with kids yelling at him for awhile... so that will be a nice break for me :)
Boy oh boy is Mitchel ever growing up... tonight he asks me this " can Melissa go to the wedding with us? " (his little girlfriend) and not to mention he has her picture as his desktop scene on his computer. He talks to her every night on the phone I think... I CAN WAIT for this dating stuff!!!!!!!!! he is just a kid!

Well until I blog again ~ pray for nice weather for the wedding!!!!
