I Love Sundays

This might be my favorite day of the week.  Sundays are super relaxing around here.  This morning Jackson slept in until 7 and then we went on a walk around the block.  I enjoy morning walks because it is still cool outside and no one else is out and about.  Today we walked by the mailbox and around the block the long way.  I was pretty tired when we got back but it felt good.  So two days of walking (outlets yesterday) has got to be good for me.  I made sure to use a lot of sunblock and covered up.  Still getting used to by unhealthy relationship with the sun (thanks Lupus).  On the plus side, I got a new hat at Ann Taylor; it's so cute. 

Sundays are great days to catch up on house cleaning and laundry.  I get a lot of satisfaction when my house is clean.  I guess cleaning makes you feel good because you can see fast results and have control over the process.  With Thanksgiving this week I wanted to make sure our house is at least presentable. 

Wearing sweatpants and slippers all day.  Everyone needs a day a week to do that!  Plus, football means sitting back with the hubby eating some yummy snacks.

It doesn't get better than a lazy Sunday.

Today's Blessing:  I forgot to add a blessing to my last post so I will give two today!  First, having the ability to walk.  Being able to move makes you feel good and its good for you.  Second, finding a few pair of pants that actually fit for work.  I have lost 50 lbs since I had Jackson in April (7 months ago).  I think it is the best thing about getting Lupus.

Sick Day with Jackson

Happy Friday!

This morning Jackson threw up his formula right after I fed him.  Not a little spit up but the whole 5 ounces at once.  It scared me because his mouth was full of vomit and he didn't seem to know how to spit it out.  I was afraid he would choke so I pulled him up and the vomit went all over his crib (doing laundry now).  I had just dressed him too.  So, on with a new outfit.  Boy, babies go through a lot of clothes.  I took him to daycare since I thought he was just rolling around too much and made himself sick.

Once we got to daycare he had a bowel movement and then an hour later they called me and said he did it again but more runny.  He was covered in poo (another outfit change).  So, here I am.  At home with the baby.  I would have been home today anyway since it's my last day off before I go back to work on Monday.  I have been off for three weeks and, honestly, I am glad to have my last day with him.  He seems fine now.  And I hope he doesn't get worse because emergency care is pricey and crowded but don't kids always seem to get sick on the weekends?

I am crossing my fingers he is okay tomorrow since I scheduled a family picture session.  I was hoping to go to the store today to get my husband and myself new shirts for the picture.  If Jackson is feeling up to it, I guess I can still do that.

And, maybe a walk when the sun goes down.

Today's Blessing:  Waiting only 10 minutes for early voting.
