I’m getting bad at updating aren’t I?  well it’s been one of those crazy weeks around here.   Zeke was finally perking up, but then Dean and I got sick again.   One night this week all of the kids were up at some point, that night Caleb was up almost all night begging us to take him to the hospital because he was in so much pain, in the early morning hours I figured out the source, a ruptured ear drum, ouch!   Dean stayed home from work that day since we all slept little, so I took Caleb to the dr, and we all just wanted to rest, but I dont think we really got to.   Caleb started soccer this week.   he seems to like it, he’s the biggest kid , he is so much taller  than the other kids.

we have been busy every night this week, today I’ve got my brother in laws kids all day.  I was going to go to a moms night out w/ the moms group from church but I’m too tired and it’s still early!   My SIL came over today to work on  caleb’s room.   I felt bad I reallly couldnt help her because of all the kiddos!   currently my 2 and my BIL’s two.   Caleb has art class after school today so I dont have to pick him up until 4 so that’s a good thing.

I really have wanted to write and post pics but I just dont have time.   tomorrow is Zeke’s first birthday.  I have so many mixed emotions.   two nights ago I dreamt about him standing on his own and walking by himself, only to take him to an unproductive physical therapy appointment yesterday.  he just doesnt like standing or putting pressure on his feet.  next week she’s going to put him in full braces to see how he acts but she said she assumes he’ll hate it.  he cried for most of his therapy appt on Wednesday.  when I try to work w/ him at home he cries too, so I know he just doesnt like it, I’m afraid it may even hurt him to put his legs the correct way.   I had a night mare last night in which he was murdered.   I’ve not been sleeping well and when I do I have these crazy dreams, it’s really getting on my nerves.

anyway…not what I wanted to write about….so overall things are ok.   Zeke is feeling better, now that Caleb’s ear has ruptured he’s feeling better, Bo has a runny nose but hoping that’s the way it stays.   somehow for my kids ear infections are contagious. last time they all had ear infections, so far just zeke and caleb do, but w/ bo’s cold I am worried he’ll soon have one too.

we’re having Zeke’s first birthday bash on Saturday.  I’m looking forward to it, our first party at the new house.   should be fun.  invited some new friends over, which I’m also excited about.

well gonna go check on the kids…I know one of them has not been sleeping, but as long as he doesnt wake the rest up I’m leaving him put, he can sit in bed and babble all he wants, it’s quiet time, which means a sanity break for me….it’s going to be a long day…..they are here til after 8 I think…hoping we can get our kids into bed by 8 still but not sure how that will go over.
