Wow!

So many different things going on this past week and weekend, it was hard to keep my heading from spinning.

My poor sick boys. They both got the brunt end of some yucky stuff, that's for sure. Brayden with strep and Jake with strep and double ear infections. What burns me up is that we went to urgent care, I told the MD that we use a particular antibiotic for Jake's ear infections, but she wrote what she wanted anyway. So fast forward to Tuesday and his fever sparks again and his ears are so bad that I dont even want to describe what our ped said they look like. My poor boy! They both have been troopers!

Alexis had an AMAZING cheer comp this weekend! 1st place and Division Champs for Rockstarz and 2nd place for Chrystalz! I am so so proud of her!!!!!! Unfortunately, I had to miss it bc they boys were still sick. I hope Alexis understood how sorry I was to have missed it. Sometimes life just gets pretty crazy.

We had yet another repair to our home and I swear, I'm about sick of home repairs. This time it was a dishwasher. Ours completely broke, no warning, no nothing- just caput! We did replace it with a nice stainless steel one though. Im trying to convince Mike to buy a new stove now too, so our kitchen will match. It's just money, right?! LOL

We had a really fun time at the Jackass 3 dvd premiere party on Monday. Mike even ziplined. LOL It was held on the Paramount Studios lot and there was a ton of things to do in addition to the ziplining. We had a few drinks, watched the red carpet arrivals and made our way out. Roscoe Chicken and Waffles has been talked about and so many pics lately by CF people, we just had to try it. Eh- fun to go- not food I would get again.

Looks like we are heading towards getting tubes in Jake's ears, as he has had 4 ear infections since October. While I know this isn't the issue he had with his speech originally b/c he didn't get ear infections very often at all, maybe it will give him a boost in some progress. He has been wanting to talk more and more often lately. I am even understanding more and more of it! So proud of him!

One last thing on my mind, my birthday. I truly hate my birthday! Really, honestly, I hate it. It would be nice for one year for my family to wake up with not asking me what I wanted, but yet instead just doing something nice. Maybe bringing me flowers. Maybe getting into work late and going for breakfast. Maybe giving me a card. Maybe thinking ahead of time and getting a gift before the day of my birthday. I hate telling people that I dont want to celebrate b.c I get hounded about what I want to do, what I want as a gift, etc and then none of those things happen. They are asked last minute. I really dont care about the monetary value of anything. I never have. But the thought is nice. And that means prior to when you "have" to. Gosh- I sound like I am bitching about something that should be good. I HATE getting older. I want to stay young forever and not be reminded that I continue to age. It's all a process of thinking about the fact that there is an "end" to all of this. I am nowhere near ready for that end and I don't want to be reminded. If I must be "celebrated", it would be nice to have the people who know me the most, share that with me, without me having to constantly remind them what I mean. Does that make sense? Ok, that felt good to get off my chest!
