This past Sunday we did take the kids to church, despite their sniffles. It was a pretty eventful Sunday. Jacob has a new friend, the little boy named Aiden. It is so cute. After church services there was a pitch in we stayed for. Jacob insisted he sit with Aiden. It was the first time not to have one of the boys with us. I kept looking over at him. He was sitting with Aiden and Aiden's family. He looked so grown up eating and laughing. Aiden told his Grandma that Jacob was his best friend. How adorable! They have only spent two Sundays together but Jacob just loves him. We also had our first little dispute between one of my boys and another boy at church. There were some other older boys at church. One of them hurt Jonah. Okay, when one of my kids gets hurt I am like a crazy lady. But when Jonah gets hurt that is a whole different story. I am like a crazy mama bear about to attack and eat you for lunch. I know the boys are all the same age but something about Jonah and I am all protective. Jackson and Jacob will kinda gain up on Jonah and it infuriates me. When I look at Jonah I still think of him as only being 3 pounds. He is just so delicate to me. And he is so precious. So, we had a lot of firsts at church on Sunday. But don't worry, I totally kept my coo. Oh, plus the whole 'pitch in' at church is so out there for me. Growing up attending mostly Catholic services I don't remember much outside fellowship. There might have been, but I don't recall. I felt kinda awkward on Sunday, like when you don't know what to do with your hands and you just keep fidgeting. I am weird. After church we all came home and went to bed. At that point it was getting more obvious that the boys were really not feeling well. Monday was spent with four sick kiddos. Sunday night they had low grade fevers. By Monday morning the fevers were gone, but the kids were definitely not feeling well. Almost all four of them slept all day. Evening Jonah started vomiting. Jonah is so super sensitive to vomiting. He can do it on demand. Seriously. I never really worry when Jonah starts vomiting. This morning during breakfast I looked over at him and he had the worst expression on his face. I said, "what is that expression on your face?" As I was saying face he totally vomited on his waffle. Then he looked at me and said, "can I have another waffle?" He went on to eat another waffle and two servings of yogurt and held it down. I asked him if he was going to school today and he said, "Yep!" So, I took all four of them. By the way, if you know someone whose child attends Crabapple and they are sick my kids have totally NOT been sick and I made this story up. We do NOT get other kids sick. *wink, wink*
This morning I got up at 4:45 to get ready to take the kids to school. I know I really don't have to get so early. But Jeff gets up at 5a and I really wanted to be out of the shower before he left for work. I wanted us to be able to have one cup of coffee and talk before starting our day. Okay, so Jeff left for work and I needed to iron my shirt. While ironing my shirt I decided to turn the news on. That is really random. I really never watch tv, especially the news in the morning. However, when I hit the guide button I noticed P90x was on qvc. I have been praying like a crazy lady lately for God to help me with my weight. Which he is probably like, "really, Jackie? Just stop eating!" But regardless I have been praying for help, willpower, guidance, a divine intervention..anything. When I turned the tv on and they were selling P90x I totally ordered it. I am pretty sure it is not a sign from God but at 5:30 in the morning I felt pretty confident that it was. I have not informed my husband yet. I think he will be supportive, but considering we don't have a dvd player for me to actually watch the videos. That may be an issue because you know what is coming next. We have to go buy a dvd player. We had one but the kids broke it beyond repair.
