Wisdom from my walk

Dean made me go to the dr today, he went into work late so he could watch Caleb while I went , he even called to make the appt because I didnt want to. Turns out I was on the verge of an ear infection and have bronchitus, so its a good thing I went. Unfortunately Caleb has started to cough and wheeze some so I had to call his dr, she is supposed to call me back. I really didnt want him to get sick and Dean took care of him most of the weekend in hopes he wouldnt get sick but he still did. Poor little guy, I dont think he’s old enough to be given an antibiotic, so we’ll see what the dr says.

Early Wednesday morning I woke up congested w/ a horrible sore throat. So it ended up being that I stayed home on Wednesday night and rested. Then I slept most of yesterday until Dean & I went out to a dinner theater to celebrate our anniversary. It was the first time we ever left Caleb, and it was only with my mom so it wasnt too bad, we called to check in 3 times. By the time I got home last night I was feeling a lot worse and now I think Caleb has a bug too, he wont eat. Its either that he’s sick or the new formula I switched to yesterday isnt to his liking. So I am going to give him some pedialyte to see if its due to a sore throat or due to the taste of the new formula. with any luck it will just be he doesnt like the formula. So its been a lazy few days, and despite being sick ,my anniversary was great. Thanks honey!

Looks like we might be approved for that house loan!! Dean talked to the mort co today, she said it shouldnt be a problem and she had already pulled our credit reports so thats a good thing! It’s just a matter of time now…..

Dean & I have decided to go to dinner and a movie tomorrow instead of a play. I am really looking forward to having a night out! But today I am not feeling so well so hopefully I will be all better by tomorrow night. i woke up sick early this morning and now have a very bad sore throat. I just hope I dont get Caleb sick again. So its off to catch a nap for Caleb & I so we can get rested for an evening out.

happy halloween! I’ve never been one to celebrate halloween, but I couldnt resist going to get caleb an outfit, its so cute , I cant wait to see him in it. i’ll try to get a pic up tomorrow of him in it. We’re not going to go trick or treating or anything, we will actually be helping out at church for what they are calling the Family Fun Fest. Today I went up to set up and go only a little done because caleb was fussy.

At 5:30 I wrote that I wanted to go to bed early this evening, it is now shortly after 11 pm and I am wide awake. I watched some tv as Dean and Caleb drifted off to sleep. My show went off so I figured I’d get Calebs bottles ready for the night/early morning. Still not tired. I thought maybe if I sit here a while I’d get tired, no such luck. I feel so alert and ready to go do something, anything, but afterall it is after 11 pm in a town where everything closes at 8 (not really but it feels that way.) So I suppose I will head off to bed to lay there and contemplate the mysteries of life…..but first….we enjoyed a nice dinner with Stacey this evening, seems like we are spending more of our time catching up than really talking. I feel so bad that we move back to be close to family yet I never see my extended family much more than i would had I stayed in Ohio. Same with Stacey, here we are living a few minutes away from each other but our lives are so different now that we are to the point we have to schedule time together…it never used to be that way. used to be you could call someone up and say “are you busy, no, good, lets go do

The morning started when I awoke at 4 am, I fed Caleb and played with him a little before trying to go back to sleep. It took forever for me to fall asleep and before I knew it the alarm was going off, it was 6 am. At 6:30 I went w/ Dean to the train station(Caleb went too) then I got lost on the way home, I’d never driven home myself from there before. So around 7:20 we got home, just in time to feed Caleb by the time he decided he was done it was time for me to get a shower. So I had intended to go back to bed this morning but it never happened. I got ready, got Caleb ready then went to church to paint some signs for the fall festival on Wednesday. I ended up painting w/ one hand and holding Caleb in the other arm! Luckily I was able to put him down, he slept for about a half hour but out of the four + hours I was there thats all the relief he gave me! I got home around 3, finally ate my first meal of the day and then headed to bed to rest but I only got about 30 minutes of good sleep, Caleb kept waking and talking to me! So now its time to make dinner and then go pick Dean up again from the train station! What a day! I think I will try to go to bed early tonight! I am exhausted.
