That’s probably what everyone is wondering hu?

Unfortunately, I have had to take a job outside the home. Don’t fret…I’m still working at home when I have jobs and I am continuing to build my websites.

Hubby and I sat down and made a 5 year plan and in order for it to work the VA work either had to make a tremendous jump immediately or I had to go back to work outside the home for awhile. You see we have BIG plans and I don’t want to make mistakes I’ve made in the past and ruin those plans only to have to get a job outside the home forever. The plan is that I work only 5 years. The baby will be in school then and I will be able to stay at home and work during the day while the boys are at school, leaving the evenings and weekends free (or atleast more free) to spend with them and the hubster!

I won’t lie, I’m not extremely happy about having to work outside the home and leave my boys with a sitter, but you gotta do what you gotta do! Besides, the boys are staying with their grandparents so it’s ok. I don’t feel the heart strings being pulled all the time when I’m away from them and I don’t have a thing to worry about when they are there.

My VA business is picking up and I love it. I actually had 3 new clients in the past 4 weeks. If all keeps going well I may not have to work away from home for as long…that’s MY goal anyhow! So, if I’m not posting as much as usual it’s because the time I have online will be spent working on doing the things I need to do to bring myself back home and still sticking with our goals!

To all my online friends…I MISS YOU ALL!!!

Google is a verb!

Every year there are new words added to the dictionary. Here is a list of some of the words added this year. A few of my favorites are mouse potato and unibrow! LOL

Are you a MOUSE POTATO?

Last night we had some really bad storms come through the area.

This morning I woke up and turned on my pc to find that the cable was out. I just knew that we’d been hit by lightning during the storms.

Not all that bad you might think, but for me it was not a good thing AT ALL. I have cable internet AND telephone.

Today I am going to be working my little butt off for a client since my mother in law is taking the boys for awhile. Therefore, I could not be without my cable all day. I was flipping out because it’s just the way it always goes…whenever I have plans to actually sit down and work uninterrupted SOMETHING stops me. Every time never fails.

Well God must be watching over me because within about an hour the cable was back on and all is well here. Granny just called and she will be here to get the kiddos in a little while. So, I’m off to fill the diaper bag with goodies so that Hunterman & Zachboo are all set to spend the day with Granny & Grandaddy.

As tempting as it is to just curl up with a good book on the couch and a warm cup of coffee as soon as she gets them out of the driveway, I’ll refrain. It’s more tempting to me to work baby work today!

I’m just too dag-on tired tonight. I was awake until midnight last night and woke up at 1 something with the baby and then was back up off and on all night, because I couldn’t stay asleep. I have quiet time finally tonight and I’m so sleepy I can hardly keep my eyes open…that’s the way it always goes right? All the guys are snoozing their hearts out and I want to join in the fun!

I finished the review for Mila, which was my one and only goal today. We had way too much going on this past weekend and most of it wasn’t good so I didn’t get hardly anytime to work like I’d hoped. More details to come tomorrow.

I will write more about our boring 4th of July. LOL Just kidding, it was nice and quiet and we were together tonight and that’s what matters.

Anyhow, nighty night all. I’m off to visit Mr. Sandman, I hope.

I took Hunter to his 9 month check up yesterday and twice I almost had a heart attack.

The first time came when the doctor was listening to his heart. She listened and listened and then said “He’s got an intermitent (sp) murmur.” My heart fell. Two family members have or had this. One on my side that still has it and one on Jerry’s side that closed within a few days of birth. Boy my mind can move fast, because I thought of those things before she could finish her statement because she immediately said “That tells me he’s about to hit another growth spurt, which is good.” Whewwwww relief! Thank goodness, it’s not what I thought it was!

The second time, she was looking at a rash that had developed. He has been sick off and on for the last week, but nothing major so I just chalked it up to teething. When I got him in the bath yesterday morning I noticed some bumps on his back that looked like heat rash to me, but I went ahead and asked the doctor about it while we were there. She asked if he’d had any fevers or not been wanting to eat (which for the last 2 days he didn’t want hardly anything to eat, but he was drinking ok). When she went to check him out another rash had popped up in his diaper area that wasn’t there when we left the house. She told me she wanted to check him for strep and she did. Ok, no biggie I can handle strep throat! I grew up with it all the time and Zach used to get it alot too, just not this young.

She came back in and told me the test was positive and that he had Scarlet Fever. I immediately flipped out inside. What?? Scarlet Fever!! Isn’t that something extremely bad that used to kill people way back when? I don’t know what I was thinking about to be honest, but I was scared. Once again my mind raced before she could explain.

Scarlet fever is just a strep infection with a rash. Thanked God one more time!

She prescribed an antibiotic and told me that the rash may get worse before it gets better but that he should be ok in a day or two and to take the meds for 10 days! Yep, I know the drill…don’t stop the meds until finished or the infection may come back, push liquids, and keep him away from other kids for atleast 24 hours after he starts the meds because he will be contagious before then! I honestly think I can handle this! LOL
