Schools In and Out

I started school yesterday in the loosest of meanings. I logged on to the online course and introduced myself but it's a start. Larry also started yesterday and he seemed excited. The kids seem excited for Larry as well. I know we have talked to them before about what he is going to school for but last night they seemed mesmerized that he was going to be melting metal together. My school isn't as cool since I'm reading and not using hot, molten, steel to join scraps of metal together.

Today is Nicks last day of school and I am so happy. This year seems to be the longest and the shortest year ever. When I look back on the rainy, snowy days of dragging the kids in and out of the house to and from school ugh it seems like we did that forever. On the other hand, Logan's first year has flown by. I can't believe he is going to be 1 next month. HE is walking along furniture now and shaking his head no. He doesn't want to stand on his own or walk with you and he hates his shoes.

Don't you wish you could bottle this kind of happiness and open it again on a rainy day?

Here We Go Again

We must be out of our minds to have another kid go for surgery. Josh had his tonsils removed this morning. It is amazing the difference between Andrew and Josh with the same surgery. Andrew woke up sad (like his mommy) and cried. He seemed confused and sick to his stomach. Josh on the other hand woke up PISSED!!! He was very adamant about wanting his Popsicle, mom, and his dad!!! When we got to the room the nurse was struggling to hold him down so he didn't yank the IV out of his arm. I tried to calm him down and explain that the IV was to help give him medicine which he replied (via screaming), "I DON'T WANT MEDICINE, I WANT TO GO HOME NOW!!!!" They gave him some more Morphine to calm him back down and he fell back asleep in my arms. Once he woke up again he was like night and day; sweet, loving, and quiet.

While we were waiting for Josh to be able to go home, grandma called to tell us that Nick is complaining of a severe sore throat. We get back home with Nick and Josh and I went to pick up Andrew at school, he says he feels bad and he looked pale. Great, just what we need, Strep Throat, Throw up, and Josh recovering from surgery. It should be a fun weekend.
