Mondays

The weekend before last was so much fun. I started the week with an idea for a blog post. It was just a bunch of random bits of funny things I thought I would want to remember years from now, but things that are so small you tend to forget them quickly.

Well, the week got busy. I mean B.U.S.Y. BUSY! and as it kept getting busier, it also kept getting lousier. I would say the low point was when I ended up in the ER with ASA, because not only did he inherit his Daddy's looks but also is tremendously scary allergy to ants, (fire ants in particular) but no that was not the low point.

The picture was taken after the meds kicked in and doesn't really do the hives and swelling justice. Let me put it this way, the doctor said, "I am prescribing a couple of epi-pen jr.s. Keep one in you house and one in your purse, or glove compartment, or taped to his back."

No, the low point, I think, was a few days after the meds kicked in  (extreme moodiness, temper tantrums, an insatiable appetite and no desire to sleep) as this coincided with a full moon, and my husband being out of town - this just about sent me to the dark side.

So this morning, I am hoping that things slowly start to return to normal with the completion of the medicine and the waning of the moon. And I really want to go back and think of all those random cute things they did two weeks ago but, as I suspected, those moments are already gone.

I am left only these two thoughts:

The boys LOVE pumpkin egg nog (only if I leave out the egg in the name thus calling it pumpkin nog). The way MRA says NOG is so adorable - he sounds English.

If ASA tells you to coodabit, he wants you to move over. It took a while to decipher but literally he is saying Scoot A Bit.

Oh, and last night, MRA was watching a movie. I leaned in to give him a hug which he returned and then promptly told me to "Get out of the way." At least I got the hug, though.

Hope you have a great week!
