My Blog

Hello Blog,

What do you write in a blog anyway? hehe. :) just kiddin. I think I'm going to share things that happen in my life b/c it's pretty crazy around here taking care of 4 kids, 3 pets, and a hubby. Oh yeah and me!

I'm 29 years old and a SAHM to 4 amazing, beautiful, stubborn, crazy kids. Megan is 9 and in 4th grade at Oakdale Christian, Elijah (Eli) is 7 and in 1st grade, Andrew (Drew) is 5 and in preschool, and Joshua (Josh) is 2 and goes to Kenosha for therapy b/c he was diagnosed w/ PVL (he had a MRI 1 yr ago) and Cerebral Palsy. He just started walking 1 week after his 2nd birthday! The kids amaze and frustrate me daily.

Today Josh had therapy first thing, Lea Ebols comes over and does play therapy. He likes things that he can put into other things. How to explain that? hmmm. She is very good with him. We've taught him many signs: he knows more, all done, cracker, cookie, eat, drink, and please.

After therapy Josh, Drew, & me went grocery shopping to Aldi and then Meijer. It's alway an adventure, today Drew kept hiding from me....he'd hide under racks or around the corner...it was very frustrating for me. Josh thank goodness was good today.

Then we rushed home, unloaded the Burby, fed the boys lunch, and quick got Drew ready for preschool. Beth Skillen (bless her) picked Drew up and took him to school (she takes him M&F and I do W). I quick gulped down some lunch and did my 30 day shred (jillian michaels) and then ran on my treadmill for 40 minutes (3 miles). I'm training for my first ever 5k and I'm also trying to lose 10 lbs. I hope to be able to run it in 30 minutes by spring.

After that I went and picked up Drew from school and came home. We waited for the others to get dropped off (they ride the bus!!) they watched some PBS while I got some stuff done. We had pancakes and sausage for dinner then Megan & I went to Walgreens to pick up some makeup (maybelline B1G1F!!) then to Kohls to look at the clearance racks. Didn't find much. Now I"m home and thinking about putting together a vodka/oj and watching my greys/private practice I tivo'd from last night.

G-night!!!
