Sounds like a rough week with a very special 'milestone' thrown in

with it. Losing a loved one never gets 'easier' it just changes in

my opinion. Our greatest tribute to our loved ones is our

memories....seems you have those in abundance. Have you ever thought

of taking up her traditions in her memory? Would be your own special

way of keeping her in your heart

Good luck with the probe... that sound tough on a young kiddo

hmmmmm take a Mommy moment and do something 'good' for yourself this

week!

I am sad and depressed

Not that the last two weeks of my life have been HELL! Today

is the 12th

anniversary of my grandmothers death. Although she has been gone this

long

I still grieve for her. She was like a second mother to me and we

were a

very close knit family. I miss the holidays when she would make

everything

from scratch. I miss birthdays when she would make our very favorite

meals.

Most of all I miss her and her birthday will fall on April 22nd.

Today I kept all three of the boys home from school and they are driving me

crazy, lol. still is feeling the last of the stomach flu, but

was

well enough to go gets his eye appointment finished. Poor little man

has to

wear glasses all the time now. UGH, that's gonna be a chore to

do.

Especially with his sensory issues. He hates the way they sit on the

bridge

of his nose. Optometrist said don't push him to wear them all the

time, but

it is necessary for him to. His eyes have gotten worse over the

course of

the year, but states he can see just fine. If he could see

just

fine, he wouldn't have failed his vision test to miserably.

Cody cried most of the time we were there. I don't know if it's cause

he

isn't feeling good or if it was cause he was tired. I went to Target

last

night and used a gift card to get him some training underwear. They

didn't

have the vinyl covers, so I am watching him closely and making him sit on

the potty frequently. He's already pissed on the floor once,

lol. I want

to keep him in pull-ups, but this will be much easier cause I can just wash

them and dry them and not have to worry about spending umpteen million

dollars on pull-ups.

Kenny is pretty much sick with the cold. He has been coughing quite a

bit

lately and although he has asthma, he's been feeling quite crappy. I

was

sure he'd get up in the middle of the night to come into my bed last night,

but he didn't. I even shaved his head this morning, so no more curls,

lol.

He wouldn't let me put it in blocks, so I said, rubber bands or bald and he

chose bald, LOL.

When we were at Target last night, the boys got to pick out new toys on

their gift cards as well. The gift cards were late christmas

presents from

my grandparents. Better late then never I guess, lol.

The boys will definately go back to school tomorrow and then Wednesday

morning my mom will come over to take and Cody to school. I

have to

take Kenny into the hospital early morning and stay for 24 hours because

they are doing a PH Probe on him. Kenny is constantly losing his

voice and

having laryngitis. They are going to rule out to see if the GERD

might be

causing this to happen. It seems he has laryngitis 24/7.

I did yard sale with my dad over the weekend at the flea market and only

made $5. It sucks cause I was hoping to get rid of lots more.

So much

stuff in this apartment that I need to get rid of because we don't need it

anymore. I already have one box about to be shipped out to a friend

of mine

because her son could use the clothes. Then another friend bought my

crib

and another friend bought my toddler bed! So I will have at least

three big

things out of the way. I still have lots of baby clothes and just

miscellaneous stuff to get rid of. It's all just clutter now!

Anyway, I've rambled on enough.

TTYL

I have many traditions in her memory! I always make sure we have Lasagna every Christmas Eve and have family open gifts that same night! Then on birthdays I always make family members their very favorite meals! My grandma always did these things for us! It's how I keep her memory alive!

The probe went well! He was such a trooper and was glad to go home. Now is sick, UGH

Thank you, Rabecca. I am still in a funk, but not as bad. My oldest is sick now and noone is giving any answers. We had a hard time with him getting x-rays last night, he doesn't like taking his pants off. He's very uncomfortable like that.
