Full Circle...

So it's finally Friday and I could not be more happy. This week has seemed to take a million years to go by. Our family has had a pretty bad run of luck in the last week as far as our bodies go. Last Friday in a very early (4:30am) half asleep / half awake attempt to use the restroom my mom chose the wrong path and fell down an entire flight of stairs. She's ok but bruised several ribs, broke off some piece of bone in her elbow and sprained her wrist. Later that evening during my brother's co-ed softball game while trying to be a gentleman and not run into a girl running to first base he tore his OTHER ACL and his Meniscus (sp?). You see... he did the same thing in a softball game almost exactly a year ago on the other leg! Everyone said he should hang up his cleats....I say why? He will have two new knees now....he should be fine! =) The girls had puny tummies last weekend but I thought it was a mixture of teething (yes, my 6 year old and my 15 month old are both teething...more on that later) and Kylie's jitters about first grade. They must have had some sort of stomach virus that was brewing but not at full force. Well the hurricane hit me Sunday night. I was praying to the porcelain gods every two hours all night long and by Monday morning my entire body was aching. You never realize how many muscles you have to use to throw up (I know, TMI). I spent Monday in bed trying to recover. Thank God it was only one of those 24 hour bugs. That is something I would not ever wish on anyone. Tuesday was my Dad's birthday and we went and had dinner with them at my parents house. Unfortunately I was still a little nervous about what food I put in my stomach so I was not able to fully enjoy the steaks or the grilled shrimp and scallop cabobs. I ate what I could but I was told by everyone that it was amazing! Makenzie has had a rough week but yet lately every week has seemed to be rough on her. She currently has 12 teeth and is cutting her 4 canine teeth...that is 16 teeth total! It feels as those she has been teething forever. We never seemed to have any issues with Kylie and teething (she is now getting her last 2 six year old molars) but Makenzie is a different story. She is miserable with them. The weekends are better but she is also able to take 2 naps on the weekends when she is home with us where is at daycare she only gets 1 and sometimes that's not even a very good one. Imagine trying to get 10 one year olds to sleep at the same time. Not happening and Makenzie likes or should I say needs to be in a room by herself to go to sleep. If there are people around she is awake. She has to be laid down in another room and she puts herself to sleep. Rian left Wednesday morning and went to North Carolina for work. He came home last night (Thursday), so it was only one night being gone but with still not feeling quite up to par myself, it makes for a rough evening with only one parent. We were definitely glad to see him last night when he got home. So that brings us back to the beginning...full circle....So it's finally Friday and I could not be more happy!

Hope Everyone has a wonderful weekend. I will try to post Sunday on the happenings of the weekend!
