Spoken too soon

I spoke too soon yesterday about Blay being a perfect angel for me while his daddy was gone. Being such a rarity for me, I should have kept my mouth closed. After I picked Blay up from school yesterday, he was being a little defiant with me. He didn't want to get in the car or cooperate with me once he got in the car.

He and I went to eat at Chick-Fi-La and he was really good there. He didn't eat his chicken but did eat all of his fries. After he ate, I let him play on their playground for a bit because we still had a bit of time to kill before going to WalMart and church.

Here are a couple pictures of him playing on the playground.





While he was playing, Granny Becky came in and he just had to show off for her. Once we left, we went to WalMart to get him some medicine, me some motion sickness tablets, and Blay's pancakes and syrup. I can not run out of those two things or I will be a bad mommy! Blay pitched a fit in the check out line because he didn't want to leave WalMart. I do not know what his obsession is with it other than that they have backhoes. We didn't even go look at them and he was pitching a fit. He wanted to stay at WalMart.

We went on to church and on home where he ate a few more of his fries but no chicken. Oh, almost forgot. After he ate most of his fries while at Chick-Fi-La, he proudly announced he no longer chicken but wanted a burger. He didn't like I couldn't get him one but simply explained to him the cows didn't like people to eat burgers in their restaraunt and they didn't have any for that reason. He quickly hushed about the burger.

Blay's cold is starting to get better and so is his coughing at night. He coughed only a couple times during the night last night.

Tonight and tomorrow night are going to be busy nights for us as I try to get things done to get ready for my cruise on Saturday. Please pray that I can get everything done! Also pray for our friends, the McCrory's. They had another set back in their attempt to get pregnant and are devestated. Please continue to pray that God will touch their hearts to comfort them and her body to help her carry.

And the results are in

The results of my ultrasound show I have some 'sludge' in my gallbladder. It is actually called biliary sludge. The funny thing is that the things that cause it I have not done or am currently in a state of. It can go away and/or cause more problems, including gallstones. I now have to await for my doctor to return to the office tomorrow so he can look over everything and decide what course of action, if any, I need to do. Yet another waiting game.

Blay was a perfect angel for me yesterday. He slept until 715 and ate his breakfast like a charm. No fighting over putting on his school clothes or brushing his teeth. I then dropped him off at school with ease. He was also a perfect angel for me when I picked him up.

We went outside when we got home since it gets dark earlier now. He played with Kai and in the dirt with his backhoes. He would spend all day there if I would let him. I finally talked him into going inside to eat dinner. He wanted pancakes and I told him no since he had them for breakfast, so we compromised. He got two waffles and an egg. He also ate some of the eggs off of my egg sandwich I made myself. Why were we eating like this? John was out of town and I didn't want to 'cook' for just the two of us. And, because eating the waffles made him happy.

I was truely amazed at how good he was for me yesterday, and even this morning when I had to do it all over again by myself. I did have to wake him up at 645 but he was already half awake because he had been coughing some.

Yes, the cold is still ever present in the little guy. Mine seems to be doing better. I only hope he will be as coooperative today after school as he was yesterday, at least until we get finished with dinner and off to church.

Me this time

In addition to Blay having a cold, I now have one. I woke up in the middle of the night with an awful sore throat. The only thing I could do was drink a small sip of water and suck on a cough drop, which I later swallowed on accident. I couldn't get anything big to drink or drink a lot because I was fasting for my ultrasound this am. I still have not heard anything from the doctor but the technician told me I should have the results today.

Blay woke up about 3 am coughing. In trying to get his cough medicine poured, the cat was also locked up in some room somewhere and I could not find her. After I got Blay to take his medicine and laid him back down, I went to check the play room for the cat. When shutting the door, I noticed something moving out by the house. I walked over to the corner of the room between the windows and saw two does grazing in the yard. They were illuminated by the moon light. I could of watched them for a while but I had to find the cat.

By this time, she had gotten John out of bed because she was meowing so much. I found her, in the foyer closet. One of the places I had aleady looked! She came out and ran straight to 'her' room. I think she went in there when I was hanging my coat up last night.

Anyways, not much to report. Just continued prayers for Blay and myself to get better!

Wrap Up

There wasn't much to write about on Thursday or Friday, just the usual daily rushing of work, church, and home life.

Friday night, John and I had a date night of sorts. We had a Sunday School function of a Progressive Dinner. It was use and 9 other couples. We had a fun and interesting time, especially at the house were we had our main course. Rather intersting to say the least. You can check out the pictures on my FB page.

Blay was picked up at school on Friday by his Yanna and two cousins, Ashton and Gabbie. He spent the night with them and had a good time. Unfortunately, his cold returned that night and is still hanging around. So, we are back on the Zyrtec and Benedryl routine with cough meds as needed. The crazy weather just needs to make up its mind!

Saturday morning, Blay came home and had a rough day. He took a good nap but the cold was making him ill and clingy. After his nap, we headed to Mamaw & Papaw's house to join the rest of the family for some Halloween fun! Blay was rather ill there as well but calmed down some after he ate a little and got adjusted to all the people and all the costumes.

Here are some picture of the kids in their costumes. I forgot to get a pic of Dad & Yo, who were dressed as vampires because they went to a costume wedding before dinner.

Blay was cute when trick or treating. He would go up to the homes and when I would say "What do you say?" he would say "Please" instead of "Trick or Treat". I don't guess that is too much of a bad thing. Because then he would precede to tell them "Thank You" after he got his candy or picked out his candy. After each house, he would say "I had fun Mommy". I am glad for that. Here are some pictures of him walking with his pumpkin of candy and checking out his candy.





On Sunday, Blay and I went to church and then went to dad's house to see the progress and so Blay could see his Papaw and Yanna. He also saw daddy and rode lift dad has at the house to help him paint the outside. Blay thought that it was just the coolest thing and wanted to stay in it. I held him the whole time in it because we were really high. I didn't want to risk my little dare devil falling while in the process of checking everything out.





As you can tell, he wasn't scared at all!

Well, we're off to start another week and so far, it hasn't been too great! Let's hope it just gets better! Also, in addition to praying for Blay and his cold, pray for my ultrasound tomorrow!
