Painting on a Sunday

Today Jeremy was working some more overtime, so 

Owen and I decided to do some painting for the grandparents!

I had some left over door hangers and thought it would be fun to 

do together. He had so much fun and he loved wearing Jeremys 

shirt too! Thankfully we had just cleaned out our closets and 

found some treasures that work perfect for painting!

Owen kept telling me how cool he thought it 

was and how much grandma was going to like it!

He was very proud of himself when he was all done. I think I will start taking him to Roberts or Michaels and let him pick out something to paint for every holiday. He was so entertained! Owen is not big on coloring so I wasnt sure how this would go but it was a hit!

I also wanted to tell a little story about the other day when I went to walmart.

After dropping off Owen at preschool I went and did my shopping. I finished and was making my way out to my car. Well I got to where i had parked and I noticed this guy collecting carts. I didnt think much of it until i noticed he was waiting for my cart. He was 2 cars down from me at the place you leave your carts. He didnt offer to help me unload them or anything and when i took another glance at hime i noticed he was special needs. I remeber thinking to myself ok he is just going to wait and thats fine. So i hurried and unloaded my things. I finished and pushed the cart towards him saying" here you go, thank you." He said something to me but i thought it was just your welcome or something to that effect. I was walking to get in my car and heard him say something else. I turned and he had  a recipt in his hands. I told him thats not my recipt and he said he needed my recipt! I told him " no i need it its mine" To which he said, " just hand it over"

Well then i was a little panicked and had he not been special I would have started screaming or something. I just told him againg firmly No i need it. So i get in my car thinking its over and he comes to my window and is tapping on the glass and trying to get in my door! I was in thing fight or flight mode and i didnt really know what was going on. I told him no throught the glass of my window again and backed up super slow with him holding onto my car handle the whole time!

I made sure he was behind me a few feet and then I was outta there! I was really shaken up by it. It after thought though I realize he may have just thought I had dropped something or stolen something I suppose. Had I been more brave I would have gotten out of my car and walked back in to tell someone in charge that he needed a little more supervision. 

I dont know what to make of it know. Guess I will never know what he really was after. 

So i ask all you girls out there what would you do?

 

Good News!

So I finally got my results they were negative! Just some irritation and redness. The prevacid the AF doctor put me on seems to be helping the nausea that i feel after meals so I am grateful for that.  Who knew a little pill could help so much. I never got acid reflux even when I was pregnant like so many of my friends did, but these pills are helping. Thank goodness. Thanks for all the well wishers out there! 

The other night when Owen had been coughing so hard we took him outside to breath the cold air. Jeremy and I decided to have another prayer to help Owen sleep and in the middle of it, even being sick as a dog,  Owen piped up "and bless Halloween." What a kid! He has been telling me the funniest things lately. This morning I seem to have caught his illness and even though i am not coughing have lost most of my voice. When we woke up from a nap he asked me why I was using my sad voice and told me" its OK we took a long nap so now you will start to feel better!" ( Same thing i told him not 3 days ago!) 

Then last night Jeremy came home and he was really jazzed to be home with us finally after a long week and Owen told him " cool it, dad!" 

Waiting game sickness

Well Owen has caught an awesome cough to ring in the new year with. He woke me up at 5am so sad. It really broke my heart how pitiful he sounded and was a coughing mess. I took him  to the pediatrician this morning but of course it is just viral & could last up to 3 weeks! However he said if he gets to coughing and cant catch air tonight I should take him to the instacare. Thanks for nothin doc! Good thing I get to take a nap with him in the afternoons or I would just wither away too! I don't know how those hard working moms out there go to a job all day after being up sick with a kid. Kudos to those who do!

 

Poor Owen had to miss school because of being sick and this week is the letter T. On wedsdays they are allowed to bring something that starts with that letter for show and tell. He was all ready to bring stuff about when he was transported to the hospital after being born. I hate it when you are all jazzed about something at it falls through.

 I STILL have not heard back on my test results and its driving me batty! I called today and left a message. They said sometimes with the holidays it can take 3 weeks for lab stuff but we are pretty close to that mark anyway.....please please let it be tomorrow so I can stop worrying about it.

PS: Owen and I decorated the inside of our house for Valentines today! There are still Christmas lights outside so none of my neighbors know what a crazy I am. My front room just looked too bare with the Christmas stuff gone........I know but Feb is a short month right??
