"A"mazing

Yesterday while my husband was at school I got the joy of having both kids with no help. While at first and before he started classes I was worried I might not be able to care for both Wriley Paul and Kaitey Mae I am doing pretty fantastic. Although sometimes I think that they know or realize he is not home and takes it easy on me. My daughter though had to have a good talking to about sharing mommy because when Riley is home he is usually caring for Wriley while I care for Kaitey. With Kaitey being a newborn she does do a lot of sleeping so it still leaves plenty of time to handle up Wriley and get some time with him which I love. But while my husband was at school yesterday I was talented enough to hold and feed Kaitey with one hand while also holding/cuddling with Wriley Paul. I was thinking "Man, I am more talented than I thought" and all the while looking at both of my amazing children all of us cuddling under the same blanket and thinking "This is great! I love times like these" Although they do not last long I enjoy the few minutes it lasts. When Wriley Paul got up and started playing with his toys and such I couldn't help but think how lucky I am to have such an amazing, handsome son. I really am lucky to have two such amazing children although as with every child there are and will be hectic times.

On a side note I met and talked to my next door neighbor, Lisa. She is a pretty awesome person. She is an assistant on the school bus to help with the children. She also is recovering from surgery because she donated her kidney to her father. She has a lot of advice and is willing to help with the kids as well. Although I did just meet her and would like to get to know her a little better before I decide to let her watch my kids even if it's for a few minutes to run to the store or something quick. But the offer is great and knowing she is there is great as well. And lets not forget that she is awesome enough to give a kidney to her father.

Back to the fam...

My son has had a cough that is kind of crazy and now a runny nose and I think it is just a cold or maybe even allergies from the temperature/season change. My husband though now has me worried that it's not and that it may be whopping cough. SCARY!!! I don't want this to be the case. I don't even like when my son is sick. I worry too much.  I made an appointment for him to go to the doctor and get him looked at along with getting his ears and legs checked and his shots up to date. My daughter will be getting her one month shots so I guess we will be going back more often than not to keep her up to date on his shotss and my son up to date on his shots period.


Another side note...
I am sick of being broke and hate, hate, hate being broke. I am hoping my husband will consider watching my friends son so my friend can get a job and the state will pay us for watching his son. How great would that be!?! We would get paid for the trouble but my son would be able to hang out and play with one of his friends.
