I've been getting SO bad at blogging! I just feel like there aren't enough hours in the day. And that's weird because I'm still not working! So where does the time go?? Taking care of a beautiful daughter and resting. :)
I've been taking more pictures so I'll have an interesting blog post one of these days. I promise!

A funny
I just saw this as someone's status on Facebook and it made me laugh. Hope it gives you a chuckle!
"Women are Angels.
And when someone breaks our wings,
we simply continue to fly...
on a broomstick.
We are flexible like that."

LOVE IT! :)
A few Easter pics
Just a few pictures from my sister's camera. Mainly of Annabelle. Dominick wasn't digging the whole idea of pictures on Easter...we only got one HALFWAY decent picture with Dom in it...and then he blocked my Dad's head. Oh well!
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

I just went to check the mail...I'm eager to do that lately because I'm still waiting on the second half of my Aflac money. I get so hopeful and excited when I go to the mailbox.
Did I get my check?!?!

Did I get a Jury Summons?!?!
YES!
Boo...NOT a happy camper today...

8 Weeks Old?!?!
Tomorrow Annabelle will be EIGHT WEEKS OLD! Wow, time flies.
Things are going great. I don't have any pictures uploaded...SORRY! But she is just beautiful. Trust me. :)
Things are going really well. I'm still nursing (quit nursing Dom at 6 weeks, so I'm definitely happy with this!) and she is still thriving. She has some reflux and spits up fairly regularly, but I'm ok with that. Dominick spit up EVERY time he ate so she's definitely better than he was! However she is really starting to struggle with taking a bottle and I'm not too happy with that. I have to pump a lot for Nick to give her bottles when I go to school and lately she's basically refusing them and waiting until I get home. I'm hoping to be back to work in the next few weeks though so hopefully she gets over this pretty quickly.
I'll definitely take a picture of her tomorrow so I can have an 8 week shot of her, so stay tuned.
Happy 8 weeks Annabelle!

Class
Today I had a lab practical in my AP2 class. It was my last practical and then next week I have my final lecture exam and then I'm done. Whew.
I hadn't studied AT ALL. In fact I didn't even go to class last week (I know, bad me). I tried. I drove all the way out there. But after sitting in traffic and not getting to North County until 5:45 (when class started at 5:30) and being the same day I heard the horrible news about Baby Gwen, I just couldn't go to class. I was so emotionally unavailable, that I couldn't bring myself to sit in a lecture. So I was NOT prepared for this test...as of this morning.
I got Dominick to daycare by 9:30 and then headed home to gather my stuff. After getting everything together, I headed to Kay Bee where I locked myself in their conference room and got to work. I studied, literally, all day long. Only took one break, and that was to drive down the street to Bread Co and get a sandwich.
But the good news is, I think all that paid off because I feel like I ACED that test! Now if only I can study enough that I ace the final lecture exam...I'll try to work on that for next week. I don't want to START studying on the day of the test again.

Still Here
Hey blog world. Just a quick post to say (again) that I'm still alive and well. We've had a rough few days here.
Last Wednesday night, Dominick was doing his normal scream and cry temper tantrum before going to bed. We didn't think too much of it and let him cry for a bit. He usually cries for about 10 minutes and that's his bedtime routine. I'm not a fan of it. I'd rather he not cry. But he does and then he sleeps all night just fine. Well after screaming for about 15 minutes I realized something was up. I went in to see what was wrong and I gave him a hug and he felt CrAzY hot. So I ran upstairs to get the thermometer. I got it and came back down. It is a digital ear thermometer. I took his temp. 102.8
Yikes! So we gave him some children's ibuprofen and he came upstairs with me to sleep in our bed. Nick went to the basement to sleep and Dom slept with me all night. Anytime I got up, I took his temp. By morning it was down to 101, but that's still high. I kept him home from daycare and by noon his temp was down to 100. But by 2, it was back up to 104, the highest yet. I called the doc and brought him straight in.
He has nothing...well, they called it a fever virus. Said it has to run it's course but alternate tylenol and ibuprofen. So we did that Friday and kicked the temp for good.
But anyway, I had both kids home alone (with one of them sick) on Thursday and Friday. Then on Saturday, my little Bellie Belles decided to get sick. Fun! And today I decided to get sick. Yay!
And even MORE FUN. Nick is working like a mad man to get a job done. So Friday he worked from 6 am to 4:30 om. Saturday he worked from 6 am to 4 :30 pm. And today, Sunday, he worked from 6 am to 2 pm. Tomorrow and all week he's working 6-4:30.
So I've had a LOT on my plate. I'm still here, but barely. I'm hoping tomorrow is an easier day. Dom's fever is gone and he is on his road to becoming healthy. Annabelle has a humidifier in her room and I've been using little noses and the nasal aspirator to clean out her nose. I just started some Zicam to try and kick my cold.
I'm hoping by the middle of this week, we are all onto a routine and HEALTHY. That's my goal.
Anyway, not a great post, but there it is. I'm still here and I'll be back to blogging more regularly soon....I HOPE.
