Last Weekend

Last weekend was a whirlwind of sorts.   On Friday night, after being up forever, Tammy and I finally made it to the second Hunger Games movie.   Glad we did... It was really good...the movie and the company.   Home at 1am and up not before 5am.   Good night.  Sigh.  Then up to clean the house and make coffe cake because Sarah was bringing her kids by, which I had half forgotten.   I got everything pulled together, kind of.   And while they were here, Adam came down with something.  He wasn't feeling well.   Here he is hanging out with Jack, who he barely knows but gravitated to this time and the last time we saw them in August.  He tends to like boys that age. Jack loved the Harry Potter blanket I got him.

Natalie looks so much like her Mom...

Cute shot of my Ellie.  Makes me feel good.

And when I tired to grab a shot of their family, Abbey photo bombed.   Love the grin.

They were here about an hour and a half.  Right after, Adam started vomiting.   Abbey had the same thing the week before, right after Thanksgiving.  Nasty, projectile.  Poor kid was puking every hour at night, nothing left really.   I laid in his little train bed with him, then snoozed sitting at the bottom so he could have more space.  It's not often my independent boy needs that kind of mothering.  By Sunday afternoon, he was improving.

Right now, my family is asleep.  I've been busy non-stop lately taking care of kids and the house and burning out a little.  But now, everyone is asleep and I feel tired and restless and kind of lonely.  I really wanted some time with Todd tonight, but he fell asleep on the couch after a crappy day fixing trucks in the cold so I guess I decided to let him be.  With the third kid, our time is dwindling.   I know it's normal, but when you spend all day with adult contact limited to social media, you need real interaction.  I suppose if this is my biggest problem, I'm doing well.

Abbey is talking so much...  She kind of said a sentence tonight... "Sit pink chair".   I was so impressed.  I still wish I knew what causes this language block for my a-team...
