January 01, 2007 Feeling Helpless
MC is really sick at this point. I called the doctor today and she asked me if I was sucking his throat out? I didn't know that is something I should be doing, so I tried it. I don't even know if I'm getting down in his throat. He is miserable, and looks miserable. He isn't eating hardly at all, and hasn't been very wet or dirty. She wants to see him in the morning. I'm also going to take Sunshine in, I think he has an ear infection or two. He is falling everywhere from just walking and is sticking his fingers in his ears. I feel so helpless because I can't make or help my baby feel better. Everything I try to do, nothing works. I can't wait to hear what she has to say, hopefully she can help. I know that I will still have to put up with this for a few days, but I hope not for too long. Well I need to get back to tending to him. He is going to sleep on me all night tonight. God please give me the strength to get through tonight with some sanity in the morning and above all please help MC breath better/easier.
Amen!

December 31, 2006 New Year's Eve
Okay, it's been a couple of days since I last wrote. MC is pretty sick and Sunshine is walking around with his fingers in his ears and falling everywhere. Sound like an ear infection?? I thing it would be best to have it checked out. MC is congested and not eating as much and sleeping a lot. Other than that we are being lazy around the house today, we are going to clean real quick and spend the last 30 minutes vegging on the couch. We are going to be doing much, just spending time with the family. My New Year's Resolutions are:
To : loose 80 lbs., read more to the boys, keep the house clean, create and stick to a meal plan, exercise 4 times a week at least 30 minutes a day, retire until the boys go to school!
Think I can do it? Wanna watch me try? I'm going to be healthier, happier and have more money. Okay well, at least wish me luck! I need to go get the kitchen cleaned up from dinner and fold the 8 loads of clothes....Gotta start the year off right!
Love to all my friends and family

December 28, 2006 Just another day
Nothing real new to report. MC is moving around a lot, I feel asleep with him on my chest today and he wormed his way vertical instead of horizontal....I have to start being more careful. I'm very tired today and I've got a headache, but other than that I'm doing great. Just wish I had a little more motivation to clean my house...probably tomorrow. I want to get it all cleaned up before the weekend so we can veg and party. Duck has given me good news on the work status thing...sorry to do this to you but ask and I'll tell you, I'd rather not post it right now. I made Chicken Stir Fry tonight, even though it wasn't as good as I thought it would be, it was much healthier and I think we are going to start eating this type of food more often. I bought a bag of Tyson BS Chicken Breast, 6 come in a bag for 6 or so dollars. I also bought a bad of stir fry mix for about 1.25 a bag. So let's add this up. Say 1.25 for chicken, 1.25 for stir fry mix, .05 for oil, .5 for kool aid and sugar, .5 for noodles and .25 for rice. I fed Duck and I for 3.80. That is cheaper than McDonalds. On the other hand, we offered the meal to Sunshine, but he chose to eat 3 Chicken nuggets and a banana. So, we all ate for about 4.25, which is still cheaper than McD's. Okay, enough with the math/cooking lesson today. Good night, I have a 2 year old dragging me away.

December 27, 2006 Oh...last night
Well we went Lebtucky so Duck could fix B & T's computer, it's all fixed now. I went to see K, I haven't seen her in so long, it was great to go shopping again with her. I hope it didn't offend B & T. I took K home and we ordered pizza and then we hung out for a while and ended up leaving around 10:30, didn't get home until after midnight. MC slept until his 2ish feeding and then until about 5:18 am, when he woke up to eat, refused to be put back down and ate every 30 mintues. I thought I was going to loose my mind. Now when I say that I don't mean that I would do anything stupid to hurt my baby, I just didn't know how I could continue to nurse every half hour for the rest of the night/morning. Well I made it through it, Duck let me sleep for about an hour and a half when Sunshine was literally pushing me off the couch. I very tired, and have nursed between every 30 min to hour for most of the day. NO MORE PIZZA FOR ME. I hoping that it is just a growth spurt that he is going through and will be out of shortly. Well Duck wants us to watch a movie with him.

December 25, 2006 Christmas Day
We got Sunshine up at 10ish this morning after sleeping for 12 hours strait. I think that he needed it because he was running a small fever. He has been a little cranky today, but was happy for the most part. We opened gifts and played all day. Nothing too exciting just family time and fun. Merry Christmas to everyone.
God Bless
