{My week in a nut shell}

Wow what a week! My parents took off for Hawaii for 17 day's....and in turn I get to stay back in AZ and watch all my mom's daycare kids for her {sweet kids} but getting up early and driving across town with my 2 grumpy kids in tow is NOT my cup of tea. This week was especially hard on me because my baby boy was VERY sick. I took him to the Doctor last week AND the week before....I was told in the end of Jan. he had strep and a double ear infection, got our antibiotics and we were on the road to recovery {so I thought} things seemed better:..night's became shorter and his mood seemed to be more Luke like. Then his eyes started to get yucky {but not too bad} Took him to the Doctor and he had pink eye....put him on the drop and we were on the road to recovery {so I thought} a week on the drops and his eyes were WORSE!!!!!!!
It had been weeks without sleep and Luke was just miserable!! We took him back to the Doctor...He NEVER had pink eye!! And his body was immune to the amoxicillin we have been giving him since the end of Jan. so this poor little boy was getting medicine he never needed and it was doing nothing for him!!! I was so upset....I trusted the Doctors to do the right thing,I learned my lesson on this one big time!


Luke in fact has a sever eye,nose and throat infection!! We are indeed on the road to recovery and sleep is in my future!!!! Hallelujah!
In the middle of all the chaos of dealing with Luke My baby girl lost her front tooth! She is one tough cookie. She came home from school Wed. night with a slight wiggle in her front tooth,after being in the bathroom for a half hour and lots of pulling and tugging she had that bad boy hanging by a thread. Dad gave it one big yank and she was toothless!!!! She looks adorable....but this sweet moment is just another reminder of how fast she is growing up *bittersweet*


I had one of the hardest week's emotionally that I have ever had between a sick little one,no sleep and some personal strife it's a wonder I made it through....Thursday night I made some homemade pot pies {comfort food} on a week like this was just what we all needed...it was AMAZING!!!!!!!




That flaky crust and creamy chicken goodness was just what I needed to end my crazy,hectic, emotional week!!!!!  Let's hope next week is NOTHING like this one!
