wooooo nelly!! last week had to have been one of the worst weeks i have had in a LONG time. our washer broke, therefore i had to do a load at my parents every day last week. on the plus side, i got to see them but what a pain. $200 later, the part will be here wednesday. you can't imagine how convenient having a washer is until you can't wash...especially when you have a newborn that occasionally poops out of his diaper!
the computer wouldn't work. $330 later, it is virus free and i am able to see a bigger screen than my iphone. didn't get it back until yesterday.
Tuesday, i had my 5th, YES 5TH root canal. i have terrible teeth. i was once told i have acidic saliva? i eat a ton of candy, but i am sticking to that ;) anyway, this bitch hurt. i was taking 3 advil every 4 hours up until yesterday (5 days). i could buy a very nice car with the $$ i have spent on my teeth.
and most of all... Lawton has been terrible!!!! WOW---terrible 2's, almost 3's hit BIG TIME. whining, crying, hitting, talking back, you name it. I thought i might have to up my dose of lexapro people. it was BAD.
enter thanksgiving:
i was very excited to be with family. we drove to greensboro and had a wonderful thankgiving meal....everyone doted on wyatt and lawton had a BLAST with his cousins. see that girl in my lap? she is the BEST babysitter---my niece Emily loves babies and especially her cousins. she carried lawton until he weighed almost as much as her ;)
mimi(MIL), aunt jerry(jack's great aunt 91 yrs, aunt mandy, emily
aunt mandy and wyatt
lawton and cousin will playing, wrestling, chasing, you name it
you think that bird is dead?
my sweet emmy
finally got him in some STATE gear and not TN!
we started to take some christmas card pics for mimi and that didn't go too well with my devil of a 2 year old....i still don't have my picture yet either...kid won't smile for anything!!
they all look thrilled don't they?
well, after a wonderful day, the night was the worst. i had to sleep with lawton and wyatt. lawton coughed ALL.NIGHT.LONG. and not any old cough, but a croupy cough. we know what that sounds like bc we have been there, done that, have a nedulizer, you name it.
wyatt was crying every 10 minutes bc he was uncomfortable in his little hammock. so, i wiped noses, calmed lawton, rocked wyatt until 7am. i have never in my life pulled an all nighter until that night. it was TERRIBLE. i then slept until 9 and jack left to play golf from 9-5. needless to say, i was exhausted. lawton seemed better saturday thank goodness, but had a terrible cold. friday we were up a lot with his coughing, wanting to watch TV, having a few fits....again, not much sleep. wyatt was an angel thank goodness.
saturday morning, i was gone by 9:30.
2 nights is it for brooke.....anywhere. i don't care if you are my family, best friends, etc, i am ready to go after 2 nights. well, the only exception is if i am on a island with jack ;)
so, back to reality. i couldn't wait for a new week to begin. i LOVED thanksgiving and spending time with my family....we need to see them more often and are going to make it happen in 2013.....but damn, those two nights were hard as hell!
computer fixed, washer wednesday, root canal better and making sure to take my happy pills everyday.
