I greatly apologize for taking so long in between blogs again. I have been horribly sick the past week and per my doctor, I will be sick another week before I am completely over this virus. I have sinusitis and I seriously feel like I am drowning in mucus. Thankfully, today I do feel a little better. I can actually breathe without my nose whistling which is always a plus. The real downside to being sick is my husband is also sick which makes us a very sad pair at the moment.
Unfortunately, Grayson is also added to the sick list at the moment. When he came over here he had a place on his chin right below his lips. His mom said it was a pimple but I’m sorry, since when do pimples look like they have green puss in them? After the place turned his whole chin blood red, he was immediately taken to the emergency room. I had to stay at home on the emergency room visit since I was ordered to have bed rest by my doctor and my mom said I would probably pick some other sickness up at the emergency room knowing my luck with sickness lately. I was very upset and felt like a horrible parent for not being there. The doctor concluded that Grayson has impetigo and put him on some antibiotics. Now, along with impetigo, he keeps coughing/sneezing and his nose is running. My poor baby, he cannot get better to save his life. Hopefully after this round of antibiotics he will be a lot better. I am just praying that his mom will actually give him his medicine four times a day like she is supposed to be. I get really nervous when he is sick and goes home. I am always in constant fear that someone will not take care of him or give him his medicine when he is supposed to get it since they are bad about not medicating him properly.
Hopefully we are both on the way to recovery and will get to have fun next weekend by visiting the park and getting to actually play outside. I look forward to the little things like that on each visit. Also, I seriously need to get some studying and school work done this week. Thanks to my sickness, I have fallen behind in school work since I had to miss classes. I have a test tonight in my history class that I need to get off of here and study for. Thankfully, it is a test in a class that I actually feel prepared for since at the end of our last class he read off of the test almost word for word.
I also need to hop in the bathtub but I am too busily distracted by a dancing thirteen year old as he gets broccoli all over his face and in his hair. I swear, that boy is messy as ever but I love him! Look for a new meme and a new blogging project I plan on doing here after I television show I love to watch. So until next time, later loves!

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!

This weekend, two of my best friends are coming over to spend the weekend with us. My best friend, Kela, is going to be here so I am excited to have some girly time. My sister and I plan on having a lot of fun vegging out with Kela and watching girl movies. I’m sorry but there are just some movies I can’t watch with the boyfriend. He just doesn’t understand them or doesn’t want to sit through them. I have missed having a best friend that is a girl aside from my sister. My sister knows me so well so it is nice to hang out with someone that doesn’t know you like the back of their hand, ya know? Plus, Kela and I are a lot alike which I love. It’s kind of neat because Kela is also the girlfriend to my other best friend, Jon. Jon and my husband also are good friends and get along great as well so we all have our own little group plus my sister Beth. Speaking of my sister, she has her own blog, Flirty B so you all should stop by and give Beth some love. She is new to the whole blogging world so bare with her.
Anyways, another big project for the weekend in between girls’ weekend is that Jonathan and I are swapping rooms with my two sisters. Their room happens to be my old room and it has a smaller closet than my current room but has more space which is what we need now with the addition of Grayson. Our room now is cramped for space and we have furniture lining every wall and not enough walking space for when Grayson gets older. So now once we swap, we will still have adequate closet size and a lot more space. I will miss my room though. I love my three windows and the natural sunlight. Plus, my old room is next to the kitchen so I am sure I will enjoy hearing the sounds of the dishwasher at night. Oh boy. The extra space is so worth it though. Thank God we will have Jon here to help us move. I don’t want to get Kela involved because she has had a really bad ear infection and I know she is in constant pain.
Speaking of ear aches, since when can a chiropractor cure an ear ache? I was talking to Michelle about Grayson and it turns out Grayson has an inner ear infection. The doctor has to give him antibiotic shots and he is required to have three shots total and has received one so far. Well, instead of taking him to get the last two shots, she wants to take him to the chiropractor instead. So she canceled the doctor’s appointments for the shots and is dead set on taking him. I’m really confused. If he has an infection that already requires an antibiotic shot of a powerful antibiotic isn’t it too risky to not take him? Kela is in the same boat and her doctor told her that uncured ear infections can leave permanent damage. She is so bad with her ears right now that she could possibly go deaf in one ear and I don’t want to see that happen to Grayson. Am I missing something? I just don’t understand her taking him to a chiropractor especially when he is only 10-months old.
Anyways, I need to get back to highlighting my book for my next test on Monday. I took my test today and scored 69/75 which I am happy about. Basically I got an A so I am VERY happy!

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.
