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!

Today has been one super hectic day that did not turn out like anything I had planned or imagined. The day started with my husband telling me he loved me and kissing me goodbye at 5 a.m. this morning. He had agreed to go help his dad today which meant his dad would swing by after he got off this morning and pick the hubster up so I would not have to take him later. After the “I love you’s” and kisses were exchanged, I fell back asleep only to wake up an hour later to my cellphone’s text message alert. Oh boy, who in their right mind would be texting me at six a.m. considering everyone around me knows I am not a morning person? Let me re-stress this, I am not a morning person. Low and behold, it was my brother-in-law asking me to tell my husband to turn his phone on which I informed him the hubster was not here so I couldn’t help him with that. So, off to dream land I went once again.
Around 10:30 a.m. I wake up to my phone once again. Considering how I didn’t fall asleep last night until almost four, it’s a wonder I didn’t think to silence my phone but since the hubster was leaving, I left it on in case he needed to get in contact with me. This time around, it was my step-son’s mom asking me if I could meet her at her work to pick him up. He wasn’t supposed to be here until Friday, but it didn’t dawn on me that it was Thursday until after I agreed to come pick him up. Also, I know that today is Friday since it is after 3 a.m. but for all intent purposes, I am still in Thursday mode since I have not been to bed yet so bare with me folks. After our phone call, I rushed to get dressed since I had to pick him up thirty minutes later. I also talked my mom into riding with me and Beth decided to tag-a-long as well. As we pulled up to my step-son’s mom’s work, she comes out of the back (the kitchen area) holding him in nothing but a diaper. I’m sorry but since when is it kosher to take your child out in public in just a diaper? I was raised that children, even babies, do not go out without proper clothing and something on their feet even if it’s a pair of socks if the child is not walking yet. I was livid to say the least. What if we had planned on going somewhere after picking him up? Too effing bad obviously.
So that is how my day started. We also need to throw in the fact that I missed my math class to keep Grayson since my sister had to take my mom and step-dad to the emergency room. My step-dad injured his hand a while back and has finally decided to get it checked on. Evidently, the pain has finally gotten to an all-time high so he thought that it was time to get something done about it. Thank God. I really hate seeing him in pain and when he has no grip in his hand that obviously is a sign that something is wrong. A part of me was very happy to miss my math class since it is the most boring class known to mankind. We have all of our assignments and lectures on this computer program and all the teacher does is read straight from the computer. I’m sorry but why is attendance mandatory if I can do the same thing in the comfort of my own home? I find this ridiculous and not to mention that there is this annoying ass kid who won’t quit talking and humming throughout the class. I swear, one day I’m going to bash him in the head with my keyboard.
Anyways, I did make my night class which is political science. However, on the way to school, I banged my head on my sister’s car since I forgot her car sits a lot lower than mine. This, my friends, has caused me to have a raging migraine. I hurt all through class and the rest of the night. When I got home from class I barely could see and was in tears so my mom gave me a percocet to hopefully knock me out and help with the pain. Nope, ‘fraid not. I am still hurting and I’ve had another pill about an hour ago. Nothing is helping this migraine. My whole head is sore and even the back of my eyes hurt. I have never been in so much pain. This pain is a lot different than my normal migraine as well since it’s not a tension migraine. This migraine has also caused me to have a bout of insomnia which has been a quite frequent thing lately. For some reason, I have insomnia a lot more when Grayson is here. I think I am paranoid about his night terrors and such which he hasn’t had for the past three weeks. *knocks on wood* I have no clue why I don’t sleep as well when he is here other than the fact I am just worried something might happen in his sleep which is just my paranoia talking. At least with my migraine and insomnia I’ve had a chance to actually sit down and blog. I’ve missed my blog. There is so much I have to say, but I just don’t have the time to say it. I have made an honest effort to start making more time for blogging since I have a few other blogging projects I’d like to work on as well, but this blog is my number one priority!
I am going to go lay down and watch one of the Hallmark or Lifetime movies I have on my DVR. Hopefully that will relax me enough after I go get me some apple juice so I can get to sleep. For some reason, my mouth is very dry right now as well. Also, please excuse any weird wording or what not in this post. My husband already told me earlier that I was slurring and not making sense due to my medicine so I can only imagine how this blog post has turned out. I did however read over it three times before I published it though. So anywho, later loves.

I so meant to blog before midnight but I have had a horrendous migraine all day so it just didn’t happen. I decided to pop on and at least post something in an effort of my blog-a-thon. Tomorrow is moving day and also the day I am going to trade my Samsung Rogue for my best friend’s Motorolla Droid which I’m excited about. I’ve wanted a droid phone so bad and now I will finally have one. Hopefully I won’t be too exhausted to blog tomorrow but if so, ya’ll know why. I’m off to bed since my medicine is kicking in. Night ya’ll.

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!
