The sickies...again!
Yes, we all have the sickies again! Or still, if you prefer! I have bronchitis, and am on an antibiotic and cough syrup. The boys both are on antibiotics and breathing treatments. Lemme tell ya, the first couple of treatments for Ben was NOT pleasant, but he sits very still now, and doesn't cry anymore. Yay! Peanut, of course, is a pro at them, he's had lots of experience with them!
Matt is in a new job now. He is managing the Olan Mills, here in Massillon. Congrats to him! He loves it!!! He has much more room for creativity through Olan Mills, and he actually gets to STAY HOME all the time, and not have to travel, like with United Studios! Of course Peanut is LOVING this aspect of the new job. Plus we get really awesome discounts! So Matt started his new job just this past Sunday. So he's still in training. Mainly needing training on the computer (paperwork & editing), and how to use the camera, as it is set up on a pole and it swivels and moves up & down, while you try looking at the faces you are photographing on a monitor. It's a co-ordination thing that I would so totally suck at lol! So props to him!
We're getting a phone hooked up thru Vonage this week. We're waiting on the router to arrive so we can hook it up! We get 2 months of free phone service with them! Yay!!
Other than that, nothing else going on. Just trying to get everyone healthy. Nathaniel has Presidents Day off of school, so I think the night before, we're gonna drive to PA and stay the night with his grandparents. They've been wanting us to do that, and I think it would be so much fun. I just adore Matt's grandparents. I know they would love some one-on-one time with the boys, too. The only thing is, I don't know what we'll do with the puppy. Maybe Jimmy will come stay the night with her. We will have to call him and ask him.
Any ways, so that's what's up. I'm gonna add a couple of more pics of the kids. Enjoy!

Bad day...week..
Hello all. Yes, as the title says, I'm not having so hot of a week. I ended up with another stomach bug this week. And the temps in Ohio have been very cold, which really affects my fibromyalgia. I've been in a lot of pain this week. My arms constantly feel like they are on fire, the muscles burn in pain. I can't even really describe it. All I know is that I hurt and the pain medication my doctor has me on isn't helping at all. So I've been pretty miserable. Sorry to not have an upbeat, bubbly post for today. I just don't have it in me.
I am waiting for Nathaniel to get home from school so that he can keep an eye on Ben, long enough for me to take a quick shower. I'm hoping the warm water will loosen up some of my stiff muscles, even just a little bit. Odds are, it will just tire me out even more. I've been up since 4am, due to the pain. So I'm completely exhausted. Ben is being so good for me, though. He's watching Cars and chomping on some pretzels.
The puppy, on the other hand, oy vey!! Haven is into everything today. She's totally wound up. She's got a lot of energy built up. I may have to tie her out back for a while, and let her run around.
Any ways, that's it for today. Thanks for stopping by.

The Holidays are Over....
...and life returns to "normal". Nathaniel is back in school now. He went back yesterday. Now it's the weekend and 2 more days off, haha. Benjamin & I have been sick all week with colds. Poor baby is all congested. He goes to the dr. on Monday so that we can discuss his speech delay, the head banging issue, and some other things we've noticed.
So how was everyone's holidays? Ours was great! We had a really nice Christmas, spending time with each family. The boys got tons of gifts, both clothing and toys. Matt & I did pretty well ourselves, too! Christmas eve & Christmas day were 2 very busy days for us, visiting our 3 families. The day after Christmas, for the first time ever, Matt had off. So we actually got to rest and relax together the next day. It was a really nice change of pace.
New Year's Eve, we spent together as a family. Just the four of us. I had gotten corn dogs & fries for dinner, pizza rolls and mozzerella sticks for snacks. And Matt bought a bottle of sparkling cider for us to toast with. Ben & Nathaniel both made till after midnight!! Nathaniel conked out at about 12:30am, and Ben laid down on the couch with Matt at about 12:15am. We made our normal calls to our parents and Matt's sister at midnight, as well.
Next is my birthday, in February. Then Steph and I are planning a combined 30th birthday party for her Matt and my Matt. They turn 30 within a month of each other and to save money, we decided to combine their parties. Ben's 2nd birthday also falls in between the two Matt's birthdays! So I think we might just combine all 3! I'll get a Ben a separate cake from the two Matt's, though.
Well, that's all I have for my update for now. Until later, when I might have something to ramble on about... God Bless!
