Sick Boy

So our poor little guy is still sick. He now has a cough that keeps him up most of the night. Sunday night I spent most of the night sleeping in Rex's twin size bed with him. But since Miah was gone last night I decided that I would just move Rex to our bed. I put him in his bed and he kept waking up coughing and crying and he would calm down but only while I was in there. Once I left he would start crying again which would lead to coughing. I figured we would both get better sleep if we were together but I wasn't spending another night on a twin size bed when we have a California King size bed that would be empty all night. So we cuddled up and I slept really good. Rex woke up twice and coughed but I just helped him sit up and get it out and then he would drink some water and go back to sleep. Because the bed was so much bigger than his I didn't spend the night getting kicked!

Miah and I had an agreement from the beginning that we would never allow our children to be in bed with us. We didn't want to have a 4, 5, 6 year old that wouldn't sleep in their own bed. I knew when we made this agreement that there would be times like last night that would happen but Miah doesn't think they are really necessary. With him working out of state right now it isn't much of a deal but I do have a nervous feeling that allowing Rex to do this will some how backfire and that I will get good sleep now but not later. I'm afraid that he will want to sleep in my bed every night and that I will have a really hard time getting him back to his bed. I really think that he will be in my bed again tonight because his cough is still pretty bad. I guess I just have to decide what works best for me and Rex while Miah is gone and deal with the consequences later. I know that I'm no fun when I don't get sleep and I know Rex isn't a happy camper when he doesn't sleep and if we are both cranky that is just not a good story.

I do have to say that he's quite adorable all cuddled up in his blanket with his monkey pillow pet. Maybe it won't be hard for Rex to adjust back to his bed maybe it will just be hard on Mommy not having him there?!?!

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

Week #2 on THM

Well it's officially the end of week 2 on Trim Healthy Mama! I have tried some more new recipes from the book and from pinterest and I'm having so much fun with it. I also order some xylitol online to save money. I didn't realize how much sweetener I would be using but when you can make sweets for any meal or snack through out the day you can use quite a bit. Favorite Meals this week E pancakes from the book! Yum! I added in frozen berries to them while cooking and they were great and the boys loved them too. They got to have the added whipped cream or syrup on theirs. Fat Stripping Frappa! OMGOSH! This is going to be my go to summer morning drink! I can see myself making one of these up first thing in the morning to get my day going and then enjoying a yummy breakfast 3 hours later. Soon as warm weather hits Hubby's schedule will be packed full daily so my mornings will start early, like 5am early! So having a breakfast at 8:30 will be perfect timing! Cheese ...
