Emergency room- What a week!!!!

Well I knew this week was going to be tough. Besides working I had soccer tarining sessions scheduled for Weds, Thursdays and Fridays. I also have a sinus infection that I have been fighting for a week now. So on Weds, I left my house at 630am and did not return until 845. Yesterday I was suppossed to train from 4-6. Well I get a phone call at 420. It is John- He tells me that he thinks Alex broke his arm. He said he is taking him and Mackenzie( Dylan was at soccer with me) to the emergency room. I asked him... Can you handle it and he said yes. Call me at 6pm when you are done. So with that, I am a nervous wreck and plan on finishing my training, afterall he is a stay at home dad, and if it were me, I would just handle it too. SO with that the phone rings about 15 minutes later, He then tells me mackenzie has puked 2 times so far. Once at home and then in the car on the way to the hospital. He said she has a stomach bug. With that I know I need to get there. SO I left the training early and went straight to Monmouth medical Center. When I arrived They were cleaning up the emergency room area that mackenzie just puked in!! So They take Alex for Xrays, and it turns out he dislocated his elbow, and it had to be popped back in place. By the time we got home, I was a mess. I thought about taking a day off of work, but then quickly came to my senses... It is much easier to be at work right now than to deal with mackenzie and the stomach virus. John is earning his money this week!!

Great weekend

Well after 2 glorious snow days, we had a nice long weekend for presidents day. Yesterday my mom came over after going to the mall and took Dylan and mackenzie with her home for the night. It was great. It was John, Alex and me. We felt so free we did not know what to do with ourselves. We went to foodtown for a couple items and then vistited his dad. Once we got home it was 6pm. Alex took a bath and was in bed by 650! It was like a free night alone. There was no officiating the fights that take place on a nightly basis between Dylan and kenz. One minute they are best friends and then the next-- bitter enemies. there were no monkeys on the bed! It was great. John is doing great at home with the kids. Alex now knows 6 different shapes and knows about 6 colors! He is talking up a storm. His little voice is so damn cute I cant stand it. I cant believe he is almost 22 months. He will be two before i know it. I was at the party gym with the kids today and saw a few little babies( 2-6 months), and was amazed that I had all big ones now. Alex seems giant compared to the little tiny immobile babies! Luckily I got my tubes tied or else, I would probably be pregnant with number 4! Dylan just got his report card and got 14 E's. It was a great report card!! So my mom told him she would give him 10 dollars for such a great report card, and his response was... It should be 14 because I got 14 E';s Told you he was smart! Mackenzie wants to get married. I have performed 2 mock ceremonies already. She keeps marrying Dylan or Alex! It is too cute. They do grow up so fast though. I wish every weekend could be like this one. It was terrific. In 2 weeks I will start praying for another snow storm!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow- or ice!

2 full days off-- no school!! This is what every teacher dreams about in the winter, the phone ringing at 5am and another teacher informing you there is no school!!! There is no better message. There are very few calls that early in the morning that are positive- so Thanks Barbara Allen for this one!!

I want Snow Miser!

I am so tired of the cold weather, I can't stand it. Everyday it is 10 degrees or less, and no snow. I feel that if we have to deal with such frigid temperatures, please bring on a snow storm. I would like one to begin on a Sunday- Thursday night and be enough to give us a day off of school. The anticipation of a snow day, gets us teacers through the month of march( the one without a single day off). Mother Nature--- Please Bring on the Snow. Snow miser where are you??
