More Winter in the Spring

Right now the ground is white with hail. I know this kind of hail is common elsewhere, but I've never seen hail this big before. (Sorry for the blurry photo).

Not much new happening around here. In fact, we're all sick AGAIN this week. Ugh. Today my sister, Stephanie, called me and said it was snowing in Spanaway. It has been pouring rain here all day... actually pretty much all week (with a few sun breaks). I'm looking forward to the weather getting nicer and for us to be well again. Last night I went to Pack Meeting and came home feeling achy all over. Allen and Mooch Man were sick yesterday and I was hoping I could avoid it again. It's really difficult to take care of two little kids when you're not feeling on top of your game. I spent a lot of the day in bed and tried desperately to get both boys to nap at the same time so I could... It was kind of a boring day for Mooch, but we spent some time coloring and drawing, and he was actually pretty well-behaved for me. Toh-Toh, on the other hand, doesn't really "play" on his own yet, and wanted to be held a lot (maybe he's feeling sick too). He wasn't too happy about me laying around all day. LOL

A sister from the ward brought us some soup, and even though my house was a disaster, I was so greatful to her. I feel blessed to know that there are people willing to help out, even when they have their own families to take care of. It makes me want to be better about serving others.

One Crazy Day

Today has been such a crazy day. I finally have a few moments to myself to sit and relax. Allen woke up for work this morning at 5 a.m. as usual, but ended up calling in sick because he started throwing up. I spent most of the morning trying to keep Moochy out of Allen's way so he could rest (He is SUCH a daddy's boy, so that was difficult). Allen ended up spending most of his day with the toilet.

At about 1 p.m. Moochismo started complaining about his tummy hurting and started throwing up as well. (Kind of scary because I've NEVER seen him throw up). My dad & Allen's brother came over at about 6 p.m. to give Moochy and Allen blessings. Then Mooch started having diarrhea. Every time I would change his diaper, TW would cry. Then in the time it took me to grab TW, Mooch would need his diaper changed again! (I think I changed at least 10 diapers between 6 p.m. and 8:30 p.m!) I felt so bad for Mooch man because he was so thirsty, but just couldn't keep anything down. But like the (mostly) cheerful little boy that he is, he was still spinning circles and dancing in the living room between bouts of throw-up and diarrhea. I couldn't believe it!

Now Allen and Mooch are finally asleep, and Toh and I are hanging out typing this blog. I was literally running all day--cleaning up vomit, running to the store for pedialyte and soup, changing diapers, doing laundry (over and over again), and just trying to take care of my boys. It was just one thing after another. Toh-Toh hasn't been throwing up, but I think his tummy is feeling crampy (as is mine) and he's been pretty fussy. I have no idea what I would have done if I were sick and throwing up too. I think I was just too busy to get sick today. lol I just hope this thing leaves as quickly as it came.

Stake Conference

Today was Stake Conference, and Moochismo was NOT happy to leave without going to nursery. He just cried the whole way home and said, "Nursery. Kids. Nursery. Kids." At least we know that he likes nursery. But it makes me sad that it's really the only time he gets to be around other kids (with a few exceptions). I have got to get out more with the boys.

Sometimes...

Sometimes I want to grow my hair out, and then my babies turn 5 months old. I chopped my hair when Moochy was 5 or 6 months old because he just kept pulling it. Now that Toh-Toh has discovered it, I'm ready for another bob. lol
