First Day of Pre-K

Today is the beginning of school for Nate. His school has three different Pre-K rooms with three different start times. I've never been one to be an early riser so it was no shock when karma hit and we got the 7:30am class. It's probably for the best though as my nursing classes will start at 8am and later they will begin at 6am.

Surgery, Christmas, Tantrums and Croup oh my!

Ah it's been crazy here. I'm not sure where in the rule book it says that your child must start running a fever of 104 AFTER 6pm when all doctors offices are closed, but it happens every time!

We took a nice family trip to Nashville the last weekend in June and had a great time. After being home for 2 days Nate developed a really high fever. I treated with Tylenol and Motrin around the clock for 3 days. When he wasn't getting better I decided to take him to the doctor. Well turns out that he's getting the croup. Who gets the croup in July?!?!

So he started steroids and let me tell ya .... it's been so much fun that I can't contain myself (insert sarcasm!).

I'm having surgery tomorrow to replace my port a cath. This will be my 3rd replacement in about 5 years. Hopefully this one will last me another two years.

This month is the beginning of Christmas designing time at my business Ballyhoo Creations. You always have to try and stay one step ahead of your competition but it never happens lol. That's OK though.

I've kept Nate at home for the last two weeks and while it's been fun I can tell that it's time for him to head back to school. For some reason after being home for a few days he becomes super bossy and ornery, nothing a few days at school can't fix.

So it's almost midnight and I have to be at the hospital early tomorrow. Depending on how I feel I'll try to upload some of the photos that we took in Nashville tomorrow.

Have a great one!!

Allergies and Asthma

Well, Nate's asthma seems to be acting up again. He was doing pretty good until yesterday. We are back up to breathing treatments every 4 hours, in addition to the cough syrup and benadryl.

I think that this is one of the major drawbacks to living in the South. This time of year the air is heavy and the pollen is horrible. Not having any rain recently doesn't help either because it just floats in the air.

We are leaving for the beach tomorrow. I'm hoping that the sea air will help clear his lungs some too. I'll "see" ya tomorrow from the beach!

Nate the Spiderman

Ok so about a week ago Nate decided that he wanted to be spiderman. He had somehow found a black sharpie marker and thus the end result.

Permanent Sharpie Oh My!!

We have taken a weekend trip to visit my Mother. On Friday before we were ready to leave Nate managed to find a black sharpie. I'll have photos on Sunday night to show you his great "handy" work.

You'll be amazed! He even had a spider man tattoo.

Back to School and Funny things toddlers say

Well today I let Nate go back to school. When I dropped him off this morning he began by acting all shy (which he is not). Once he saw his friend Lucas he was good to go. I called back at lunch time to check on him and the teacher said he was doing great and that he had just laid down for a nap.

On a side note, his new favorite snack has become honey buns (I know bad bad mama). When DH woke Nate up this morning Nate asked him for some chocolate milk. Dh asked if he wanted breakfast and Nate replied "No Dad I just ate a honey bun" now keep in mind he had JUST woke up. Dh and I got a good laugh out of it, must have been a great dream honey bun lol.

You got me good!

Nate seems to be full of crazy phrases lately. Yesterday I was wetting his hair in the back to get it to stop sticking up. I was wetting the comb and then combing his hair down. Some of the water drops fell onto Nates shoulder and her promptly notifies me

"Wow Mom you got me good!"

I thought I was gonna cry I was laughing so hard.
