Sorry I've feel like I've been awful at updating lately. I've still been in the midst of a pretty good case of the funk lately. I'm still having the heart palps on a pretty frequent basis but I attribute them all to stress, don't think it is any underlying health problem or anything like that. And the problem is that I know it is completely irrational how stressed/upset I've been but I can't just snap my fingers and snap out of it. It takes time. So I just try to request extra hugs and snuggles and try to just be in the moment with the kids as much as I can. To help with some of the money stress, I am going to apply at JCPenny and Kohls for holiday help. I figure then I'll be making a little extra for spending money plus get a discount on the stuff so it will be even more helpful. I'll be turning those in this weekend, so wish me luck.
Friday I was home with the boys because Turner started running a fever on Thursday afternoon and he still has it and Austin has gotten up to a low grade fever too. Just the old cold, cough, fever. They basically feel fine when the medicine is working, it is just that last hour and until the new dose starts to kick in that Turner is just awful. Poor little guy. Today Mackenzie has a soccer game at 10:30. Caitlyn came over last night so that she could go too. It is so awesome that her and Cameron are here. I really do just love it. Cameron found a job yesterday at MrGoodscents. He is going to keep looking for something better, but at least it is something. And I came home Thursday to the dishes done, floor swept and vacuumed. He has no idea how big of a help that is. And we have a kids birthday party today too, but I'm not sure about Turner going so it may just be Aaron and Mackenzie. Tomorrow the Rams are off, so we'll probably go do something for a family fun day! I'm thinking maybe Grant's Farm, maybe the pumpkin patch? Anything will be fun.
And we did decide on the new babysitter so the kids will start there on November 10th. I'm going to pull them out of the current daycare 2 weeks prior to that so that we can go 2 weeks with no daycare cost for the boys. Just a way to save money in between the switch. So, if there are any volunteers for a day!! I have a few vacation days, Aaron can take 1, and then with Caitlyn and Cameron's help, hopefully we can pull it off. That's about all I got - time to get ready for soccer. She says she is going to score a goal today so we'll see!
