relaxing and being a mom don't mix!!

I am finding more and more that relaxing and being a mom and wife do not mix. With that said it's taking a tole on my body, I keep getting SICK!!! Last week I got an ear infection got put on antibiotics and all was well...NOT! Sunday rolls around the 2nd to last day of the antibiotics and I develop a sore throat and I still have it although it's getting better. Last night was one of the worst nights I had. My daughter Alexa was up every 30-45 minutes screaming and as I type I can hear her now( have fun with that sweetie!). We took her to the Dr. thinking she had an ear infection since this was how her brother acted at this age and he had one. Nope just blisters on her throat just give her Tylenol and she will be better in a couple days. Yeah right doc. you come to my house at 2am and say that!!! I'm praying as I type that tonight will be a better night with less crying and more sleep. Oh and now I am developing a canker sore, yep my body is telling me to slow down and relax!!!!



Did I mention that I am weaning Alexa from breastfeeding? Yep I started that on Sunday and all is going well. I gave her some formula at her mid-morning feeding and you would have thought she had always been given a bottle. Well actually we are not giving it to her in a bottle we are using a sippy cup advice from my mom:) Less work we have to do to get her off a bottle! Thanks mom:) This Sunday I am suppose to take out the nap time feeding but I am not sure how that is going to go if she is still sick....taking it day by day.



Yeah so you could say it's been a busy/hectic week and relaxing just isn't in the vocabulary. Truly though, when is it in the vocabulary of a wife and mom of a almost 4 year old and a 7.5 month old?!! I have to say even though my life is crazy at times I would not change it for the world. I love my life as a wife and mom. Chris has taught me so much one thing in particular is patience. Braden has taught me to live each day as if it's the last and Alexa has taught me to take things one day at a time. I love them all and wouldn't change it for anything!!!
