Mamatography: Week 41

Mamatography: A 365 Day Photography Project. At least one picture per day of what you did that day.

 

 For about a week and a half, my knee has been aching/hurting every time I move it. I've been using my Arctic Ease wrap which is Awesome. I don't have to sit there with an ice pack on my knee, not able to move. I can wrap it up and still be able to walk around and take care of Isaiah and the house.

Disclaimer: I received the cold wrap for free as a part of a Mamavation 2 Week Challenge. I'm not being paid to tell you about it, it's just great and I wanted to tell you about it.

 

 

 Monday, Isaiah got a surprise from Mama. She got a replica of a semi used to haul Goodyear stuff from work. He loves it. It fits his hot wheel cars in the trailer. It's actually OEM Certified, which I think he'll be more excited about in the future. Last week she got him a Goodyear shirt and hat. His shirt says Awe(wingfoot)some. The truck has many movable/removable parts, so what you see here is missing some of the parts.

Little I and his new Goodyear truck.

 Later that night, Isaiah started getting tired and cranky. I sent him up to the bedroom for a time out/calm down time when he started hitting. I came up 5 minutes later and found him passed out wearing his glow necklace.

Had to take a picture before I took the glow necklace off him.

 Tuesday, we went over to my parents' house and B took pictures of us (with my Nikon) in the back yard.

One of the pictures that B took and I edited with Photoshop.

  Wednesday we had school. I had 2 exams, which left me exhausted. I did manage to find this when I went to my parents house between my last class and picking up Isaiah from Awana.

Thursday... To be honest, most of Thursday is a blur. We didn't really leave the house. We cleaned, played, cleaned some more, and took a nap. I love days off because of naps. I've been so tired lately, and even though a nap eats up 1.5-2 hours of my day, I need it.

 Little I had pinkeye at the end of last week. I was not a happy mommy. He also had a horrible night of sleep Friday night (maybe because of the pinkeye?)

Saturday I took Little I to the clinic and got him eye drops. Sorry I didn't take any pictures. It was a very hard day: It took 2 1/2 hours to get his prescription filled because of insurance, Isaiah was cranky because he was sick and tired of being in the cart. By the time we got home it was nap time, and after nap he was still cranky and clingy. I didn't get a single thing done.

 

I'm Back!

I finally got my laptop back from Best Buy. They ended up replacing the motherboard, top plate, and the AC adapter. It's so nice to have a full keyboard (no missing keys anymore) and a computer that is less than 10 years old!

I'll be working tonight to get up the Mamatography post, the Pinterest Sunday post, and probably another post that has been rolling around in my head.

And I have to write a paper for my English Comp II so this might be a long night.

Breaking the silence

I still don't have my computer back. *insert pouty face*

I won't be able to post my Mamatography post until I get it back because, ironically, I took more photos with my camera than my phone this week. Although you can totally check out the others who are doing it!

What I really wanted to talk about today is the fact that Isaiah has pinkeye. And it sucks. I feel like we are pretty sanitary. I really enforce handwashing and other things that are supposed to prevent this kind of thing from happening. I really love his daycare. They are so good at getting him fired up about learning and he has grown so much since he started there. But this is ridiculous. Handwashing should be an important part of their routine.

Of course, we had to miss my cousin's son's birthday party today. Isaiah was pretty beat up about it. 


 I don't think I'd be so fired up about it if it weren't such a severe case.


Taken last night somewhere in one of the 40 minute stretches of solid sleep he got.

Seriously! His eye is swollen and red. I took him to the stat care today, and the nurse practitioner said that if it gets any more severe, he might get sent to Children's. I forget what it's called when it gets that severe.. something cellulitis maybe.

I'm just tired of everything bad happening at once. A few good months and then BAM! Mamaw dies, my car starts trying to kill me, my computer craps out, and Isaiah is sick.


Sorry for being a Negative Nancy tonight.

I'll make it up to you when I get my computer back. Hopefully.

Taking a break.

I may have to take a short break from the blogging world this week. My laptop has stopped charging, so I'll be taking it to Best Buy today. Thankfully I had the foresight to get the 2 year warranty, including accidental and everything like that.

I'll try to blog from my phone or from school until I get it back. But, let's face it, I may not have time since I have 3 exams (1 is a midterm) this week. So, we'll see.

Maybe this is what I need to get me to study more and get an A on my exams instead of a B like last time.

Signing off while my computer still has 7 minutes of battery life left.

Pinterest Sunday

It has been a while since I did one of these. I found this project  (kind of) on Pinterest, via A Beautiful Mess

We've had the canvas painted for a while (you can see it here) and it has been sitting around until I found the perfect quote.
