UPDATE

Well the day got a whole lot better. So Michal is cool with going to his Grandpa Scutt and Grandma Dee's for the weekend. He gets to go fishing in town so that made him happy. Plus he knows now that he will see his dad in October so that made him even better.

Jackson cried but not too much and the struggle of being there with 4 kids 3 of them being boys distracted me so much that I never though about crying myself at least not about the toe. My need has grown to 4 arms but just for 3 hours a day.

If you have ever gone to McDonalds with 4 kids by yourself you would know that moms to more than that are saints. I cannot thank the teachers that spend the whole day with my kids and their peers enough. OMG I know now I could never do it.

We are still waiting to see how Baby Autumn will do. Matty seemed upset but strong. He is so brave. Her fever is gone right now. That is something to thank God for. Keep them in your prayers please.

BTW, the picture, doesn't it look like he just told her a secret that made her smile. He said he wispered I love you in her ear. After a long day my kids make it so worth while. The other night we had visitors who compained about how their kids fight and I look at my boys cuddled up with each other on the couch and smiled. My kids love each other so much. They are smart, respectful, sweet, loving, and wonderful. What more could a mom ask for? Maybe a full night of sleep.

Have a great holiday weekend.

Oh What a Day it is

So I woke up crying today from a bad dream, little did I know.

Here is how it all started. I am driving Michal to school and he wanted to know if I had gotten his fishing rods out:

Mom: "No Honey why would I do that?"

Michal: "For my trip to Chama."

Mom: "I did not know you were going."

Michal: "Of corse we always go, even if dad can't go Grandpa Scut will take me."

Mom: "OK Let me find out what is going on."

I drop him off and come home. Sterling took me to breakfast and we are talking when my mom calls. *PRAYERS PLEASE ON THIS ONE* Matty (my baby bro) has a 10 month old named Autumn and a 2 1/2 year old named Hayley. So, Matt has bronchitus, Hayley and Alicia (his wife) have pneumonia and the baby has double pneumonia, a double ear infection, and a bacteria in something I did not quite get that part. So I am crying because I have been through the lung problems with my boys and this is serious. Again I am crying because it is so scary and this sweet baby is suffering from pain and not feelling good and she is only a baby. This sweet baby I have never seen or held to told how much I love her even though we have never even met. She is my brothers first baby and in many ways he was my first baby. I remember putting a bandaid on his boo boo when he fell and giving it a kiss. I remember dropping him off at school when he was in kindergarten and picking him up. I remember watching him play on the playground with his little friends. I even remember his kindergarten graduation and the big hugs I got. I was his sitter and his sister all in one. My mom had to work when he was little so I helped her alot with him. Here he is now 21 with so much on his plate. I am proud of him for doing so much so well. I feel so bad that he is having to deal with all of this right now. I wish I could be there but with a baby myself I just cannot risk her getting sick.

So with that on my mind I talk to Clint and confirm that in fact they will not be going to Chama this weekend. So now I have to break my little boy's heart. We are going to try to pull something together but I know it will not make up for the fact that he will not get to go on this fishing trip that means so much to him. To add insult to injury Tristen, the boy I watch, is so excited about going to the lake with his dad this weekend. Again I cried. Sometimes as a mom I feel so helpless to keep them from hurting.

To top it off Jack has a badly infected toe and has to go to the doctor today to have it checked and cleaned and I know it is going to hurt and he is going to scream. So Again I am sure I will cry.

I guess it is just going to be one of those days.

Well gotta go because there is the baby and she is crying. ho hum what a day.

Hello

OK so I am going to start doing this online journal things. Why you may ask, well because I have these 3 beautiful kids who give me a run for my money every day. I figured since my family and so many dear friends live so far away this is a great way to keep you all updated on us.

So for today I will catch you all up. Michal my brainiac is now a 3rd grader in the hardest school around. He has gone from a good public school to a great private school. He skipped a grade which is almost unheard of from what I hear in this school. He is doing awesome. Jackson is in K4 there and doing well too. Mike (as he likes to be called) had trouble making friends in the begining but has done well this week. I started watching a 4th grader (in his class 3-4) named Tristen after school and they get along great so it has worked out well.

Alexis is a wonderful baby. She is sweet and easy. Her patience is incredible. She will give a squak to let you know something is wrong and as if she knows I am super busy she will just wait a few for me to get to her. She is so pretty. I am biased so I am basing that statement on what I have been told. hehehe

Sterling is busy working and chasing the kids for me because with 3 I feel like I need 3 hands. So now you should understand the title. Oops gotta go Little Miss Baby Kate (As I call he *Alexis Katherine*) has just given me another job. Toodaloo
