How can someone so small...???

produce such a never ending supply of snot?

My life for the last two days has been nose wiping and booger sucking. The nose wiping is followed by whining, turning of the head violently and crying. The booger sucking is followed by a purple faced, breath holding Niblet that looks like the Exorcist. Motherhood, while mostly enjoyable, blows when the tots are sick. Lord, I need a manual on how to cope during the rough times. Few and far between, but oh so hard when they present themselves. I'm just praying that son number one doesn't come down with this crud because he inherited his mother's nack for not handling sickness well. He's vocal too and can voice his opinion. The world will stop and revolve around him. He will be King and I will be his loyal servant. So, crossing my fingers that he will remain healthy and happy.


My Mom is coming over today. We were going to head to the "Big water" and enjoy a day at the beach. I would love to get out of this house and go for it, but with a sick kid I've got responsibilities. It's hot here and I don't want to worsen the situation. So, I guess we'll lounge around with Adda and have her entertain us. I'm sure it will be easy to do since we're an easy crowd and we haven't seen her since last Monday. Fun times.

I worked out on Saturday morning, but it was a no go for Sunday and obviously today. I can't drop Niblet off while sick. They made me sign a packet that stated the many illnesses and symptoms that were not acceptable in childcare. So, we're staying home. I hope that Niblet gets over the yuckies soon because I was really getting into a groove with working out. I haven't lost any additional weight as of today, but my muscles are not as sore as they were and I feel good while working out. I truly do enjoy the time to myself and just hitting the weights. I also enjoy the Pre-cor machine and getting some cardio in. I feel good. I just hope I can maintain this through the rest of the year and another pregnancy. I think alot of my problem while pregnant with Joshua was the fact that I was so out of shape. I carried him extremely low in the abdomen and my abdominal muscles were weak. With the exercises I'm doing I hope to strengthen those muscles and keep them strong. Maybe, just maybe, that will help with carrying baby number three and I won't have as much bedrest to deal with. I undoubtedly will probably have some towards the end when my traditional blood pressure problems start up. Maybe not though and that is what I'm hoping. Time will tell and only God is in control. What else can I do or say?

I added two new ladies to my blog roll to the right of your screen. Check their blogs out!

Colleen is the Mom to two little girls. She commented on my blog and I checked her blog out. I became addicted in one click. She's a sweetie pie and a girl after my own heart.

Boundary lines is awesome. I stumbled upon this blog while checking out my best buddies blog roll. I had no idea we even read different blogs. Anyway-check her out. Pregnant, Scared and just a good, honest writer.

*Mr. Big did catch fish yesterday. He did not bring any home. That leads me to believe these fish were a) not as big as fully described in the first place b) imaginary c) he was lazy and didn't want to clean them d) The fish broke his line. You get my drift. The stories about fishing were minimal. The stories about Jacob and Alton (his buddies son) were abundant. How life changes when you have small children. This is the good life, people. This is it.
