Wow, I can’t believe I let so many days go by without a blog post. I’m disappointed because I was doing so good blogging as well. I had finally hit my stride and was getting back in the blogging groove of things. I guess I got thrown a curve ball by underestimating how hard my summer class was going to be and then my best friend stayed for two weeks here which was unexpected. I enjoyed her company but I believe I am the type of person that likes to be alone at times and having to constantly entertain someone was not fun. Also, on top of that, Grayson was here for a week since it was Father’s Day. I enjoyed having my baby here for a week. I love that little bugger.
Another thing causing my lack of blogging was after Grayson left our house, he was hospitalized a week later. He had a really bad infection and they thought it was staph at first. Thankfully it was just cellulitis but he had a place on his tummy and bottom that had to be lanced. Needless to say he was not happy sitting down. Also, in between his legs he had a lot of yeast and that was causing further problems and discomfort for the poor guy. After he was released from the hospital, his mom brought him down here to stay with us for the weekend. The day he got here had sores/hives all over his body but instead of taking him to the ER his mom said to give him Benadryl. Since obviously I’m just his step-mom I decided to give him the medicine but the next day it wasn’t better and was looking a little worse so I told Jonathan we were taking him to the hospital. We kept calling Michelle but she never answered until Jonathan text messaged her and said we were on our way to the hospital to which she promptly called back. At the hospital, I went back with her and was answering all the questions for the doctor. I even had to change him because evidently she didn’t want to. It really annoyed me because here is your child who is sick and not at his best and you don’t want to have to do nothing for him. It was really irritating but thankfully she sent him back home with us and after a day and a half of antibiotics he was already looking a lot better. Hopefully when he gets here on Friday he will look even better if she has given him his medicine properly.
I just wanted to post a quick update. I didn’t do so hot in my June session class thanks to everything going on and having a final when Grayson was in the hospital, but I’m hoping this July session class will go a lot smoother. I did so bad in June that I failed the class. I missed the last test and final which were on the same day. Honestly, I don’t care. Grayson was more important. I’m really falling into the whole role as a step-mom and love spending time with my little guy. He is a joy to be around and Jonathan and I are a lot closer now as well. I love both of my guys. All in all, I love my life and wouldn’t trade it for anything. So, I am going to go start my homework for my class since Jonathan went out to lunch with his cousin which means I have some quiet time if the siblings will stop barging into my room. Wow, I so can’t wait to move out which hopefully will be soon. So until next time, later loves!

Today has been a very long day filled with stuff I really don’t even feel like talking about. I’m just exhausted. Nothing totally horrible happened or anything today but I just don’t have the energy to write up a long post about my day.
I got word from Grayson’s mom that she had to take him to the Emergency Room last night. Evidently he had a fever of 104.5 and the doctor said he has an inner ear infection. Good thing I told her about his ears when she picked him up. We also knew he ran a fever Saturday night which I told her about as well. I had a feeling he was getting sicker but I still wish it wasn’t bad enough to take him to the Emergency Room, ya know? I worry about him when he is not here. She said she didn’t get any sleep and was so tired of him being sick which I told her if she wanted us to, we’d take care of him so she could have a break. It is times like these when I wish he was my child because it breaks my heart to know she is tired of having to take care of him. Motherhood is a twenty-four seven job. Coming from someone who might not ever have kids, I don’t think I’d have a problem taking care of a sick child because I know they’d need more more then than ever before. I just don’t understand people I swear.
I’m going to go watch the season premiere of Secret Life of an American Teenager with the hubby and sister. Hopefully after that I can get some sleep. I still am not sleeping good. At least I haven’t had the dream about my grandma again. Ever since I did have the dream I haven’t been able to sleep and I’ve been in this funk. I’m sure I will be okay after a good night’s rest.

It seems very surreal that I have officially been married for a month and two days. I mean seriously, time really flies, ya know? It feels like just yesterday I was trying to fight off a killer bat and then got all teary-eyed as my mom got ready to walk me down the aisle. I seriously did have to deal with a bat on my wedding day. It seems as if one had taken up resident in the choir room at our church and all of a sudden it just fell off the top of the ceiling fan and died. It was a pretty funny moment and maybe I should have taken that as an omen but I pushed through that day none the less. I’m sorry but no little crustified bat was going to get in my way of showing everyone my marvelous dress that I paid out of my own pocket for. My dress was amazing and fit so well. For once in my life I actually looked like I had an hourglass shape and it extenuated my curves without me looking all dumpy. It was our day and I am so glad everything went so well. Our day was beautiful and heart-felt and I could not ask for a better husband. Jonathan and I have our moments but I am thankful that I got to marry my best friend.
Another big change to my life aside from being married is being a mommy! Jonathan has a ten month old son named Grayson. Grayson is the apple of my eye. I love that baby so much. I never thought something could take my breath away at first meeting but he did. His blue eyes and chunky little smile instantly melted my heart. Let’s also throw in the fact that he is the happiest baby and you definitely have a wonderbaby. Evidently his mother has been getting tired of him since she told us that she has had him for nine months so it was our turn now. That’s fine with me; bring him on over. I have no problem taking care of him. It kind of alarmed me at first that when she leaves he doesn’t even whine and whimper. All of my cousins have whined when their moms have left them somewhere but not Grayson, but if I walk out of a room away from him, he cries. Two weekends ago she sent him to our house with a double ear infection. I didn’t really understand that since it was only his third weekend and I guess I’m weird about sending kids off when they are sick. I assumed she would be apprehensive about sending her child away for the weekend so sick but she had other plans to go to some mud bog so to our house Grayson came. He was so sick and was a little on the cranky side. I ended up rocking him off and on all night both Friday and Saturday night. Saturday night he laid in my arms and was rubbing my cheek saying “Mamamamamamama” and then would snuggle close to me. He is so precious. Just so I don’t come off as completely biased, I will post some pics below so you can see that he truly is an adorable little wonderbaby.
Since I have been participating in Project: Blog, it has renewed my passion for blogging. I find myself in the most mundane situations thinking of what I can blog about later that day. Earlier on the way to take the hubby by DFCS to pay for the paternity test and what not, I found myself sitting in the car thinking of blog topics as I took in all of my surroundings. I’ve missing blogging and I have a very long list of things I’d like to add around here. So hopefully I can get that all going soon. I am just praying that when I start school this coming Monday it doesn’t take a toll on my blogging. I know I can make an effort to sit out at least ten minutes of my day to write a short blog post. I’m definitely looking forward to it. And with that, I will leave you all with the pics.
