Oh, how the time flies...

Michael "pretending" to help us empty the dishwasher... LOL


Life has been busy, as can be expected.. I am working "summer hours" right now, which means 5:30 am till about 12:3o pm... not such a bad gig considering I get off from work so early... here's the thing though... I HATE MORNINGs!! In order for me to get out the door, I have to set the alarm for 4:20 am.... yes, that, my friends, is still considered the middle of the night (for me). My goal is to SNEAK out the door before the monkeys wake up.... which really is a double edged sword

. I mean, if I'm able to get ready and sneak out before they wake up, then I don't get to see them, which totally sucks. However, if they do wake up (which I don't mind), then it adds 20 - 30 minutes on... How can I possibly leave when Jake is begging me to cuddle? Hey, priorities now!! :-)

Chris has been incredible. He hasn't complained once about having to get both of those boys ready, dropping them both off, and dealing with the chaos. He is so calm about the whole thing (me, I would be totally stressing..)

Okay, so 2 more days of work, then, I'm OFF FOR A WHOLE MONTH!!! WOO HOO!! (Can you sense my excitement??!)

Update on the boys: Michael is crazy...but in a good way...babbling NONSTOP, cruising around, and into everything! The boy is going to walk soon! He is mesmerized by his brother and wants all of his toys. This however, has created a problem, because Jake is now VERY territorial and doesn't want Michael touching a toy. Needless to say, the time-out chair has been utilized (and it's not pretty).

Jake has a cough and is wheezing. The dr. has told us to give "breathing treatments" every 4 hours, which he just loves (yeah right) and we keep monitoring his cough and wheezing. I absolutely hate hearing him wheeze.... it breaks my heart. They think it is probabloy aggrivated by his "illness" but I still want it to go away! It tears my heart out!! :-(

Chris and I went out on a date tonight and we had a blast. I love, love. love spending time with him. Even though we were both tired, it was so good to be together, just us. All right, off to bed.... gotta wake up soon. xoxo
