Getting out of Dodge

Yesterday was one of those days that should go down in the books. Logan has been teething and the tooth has broken through. This means two days of fever, screaming, and short nerves. And that is just the toddler.

What topped the day off was just as Logan calmed down and had some nice mint chocolate chip ice cream and the world seemed right again. He threw it all up ALL over me, Tommy, and the couch. Of course this was not a good experience for all three of us. This is also the moment Daddy and Chris got back from their Carowinds field trip.

So what did Tommy and I do you ask? I cleaned up Logan and myself, cleaned the couch, and handed Logan to Daddy. Then we got out of Dodge in a Firebird!

We took the T-tops off, turned up the music, and drove to the nearby Sonic for Sodas and quiet time. IT WAS NICE!

Don't get me wrong I LOVE BEING A MOTHER. But I am the first to admit that sometimes it gets the best of me and I need a break.

Mother's Day

This past Sunday was Mother's Day. For a mother's day it was good but it was also tiring. My husband came back from his National Guard annual training, the baby has his 2 top front teeth coming in which resulted in him being a crying fussy baby. We started with running errands and cleaning my middle child's bedroom on Saturday and then my parents house and the boat on Mothers Day. So by Sunday afternoon I was ready to DROP.

My boys were sweet and made me Mother's Day cards. I love a homemade gift over flowers and jewelry any day and my husband got me a "proud Army wife" charm for my bracelet. So I am good for another year, and just waiting for my well-deserved nap.
