We left for Houston last Tuesday because JR had to work for the Houston office all week. We didn't get to the hotel until almost midnight, but we were blown away at how nice the suite was. Logan didn't sleep at all the first night..I think he may have slept on and off for about an hour, luckily he was in the living room watching tv so it didn't bother Landry or JR. I woke up just about every 30 minutes to check on him.
On Wednesday, the kids and I hung out at the hotel, Logan fell asleep around 11 and slept until 4. I didn't have the heart to wake him up, especially since the two of them fought all morning long. JR got back to the hotel about 5 so I got all my stuff and the kids packed up. We went downstairs to the hotel happy hour for a couple of beers and hamburgers, then we got on the road to my grandmothers in Galveston. We arrived around 8 and JR went back to the hotel at about 8:30. It wasn't long until we were all in bed.
Thursday was a lazy day in a way. My Nanny wasn't feeling well, I think it was the first time I have ever seen her so run down, it scared the crap out of me. Nanny took several oppotunities to rest, but she just never seemed to feel better. She was shaking and it just really scared me. Nikki and Aiden came over about 5:30 and stayed for an hour. It was nice to catch up with Nikki. Logan was a brat towards the end, throwing a tantrum over a toy. Ughhh drives me crazy when he acts like that. The problem is, Logan doesn't forget. When he gets mad about something, it can go on for days. There are several ways I handle this, but I have found that ignoring the behavior works pretty well. Sometimes in order to ignore him though I have to send him back to his room. Anyway, Nikki is halfway through her pregnancy and she is still so tiny. She was wearing a fun flowing shirt, and with it, you couldn't even tell she was pregnant until the material bunched at the sides. She looked so cute, and I am so excited for little Mila to get here. Maybe she and Landry will be play mates. Logan and Aiden played together while Landry just sat in my lap and eventually fell asleep. Even though Landry and Aiden are only months apart, he seemed to have more fun with Logan. Landry is still in that "not leaving Mommy's side" mode. It's ridiculous, and she wont talk to anyone else...but I keep reminding myself that she will grow out of it.
Friday, my grandmother went to the doctor. She had to get some chest x-rays, and a whole pharmacy of medications. She also had to have oxygen delivered to the house because she was only breathing at about 82%. That took up the majority of the morning and once home, she napped for about 4 hours. I was happy to see that she was finally getting some rest, but it was hard to keep the kids quiet. Carol came to pick us up at 6 or so, so we loaded up her car and headed to meet up with JR and Brittany for dinner. We ate at Dickies BBQ...it was really awesome, then transferred all our bags from Carol's car to JR's truck and headed to the hotel.
It was good to be home on Saturday. We watched the Texans game...and yelled and had so much fun watching it. The rest of the weekend was pretty Lazy. We went over to the house to check things out, we were told they didn't pass the plumbing inspection...apparently, they used our showers in another house, so they new they wouldn't pass the inspection. But then when they put in the new showers....well one of them has a large chunk out of it...the missing chunk was laying on top, but I told JR, that I am not paying for a damaged shower, so they are going to have to order a new one, and I dont want to hear any kind of crap about them glueing it together or anything like that. NO - I want a new UNDAMAGED one. We have our dry wall meeting today at 2 and the plumbing inspector will be there today to test everything again.
Today is day one of our diet. So, I guess we are back to it! I still weigh 130, although when I weighed this morning it was 130.2 - LOL I am not on the diet to lose any weight. I am strictly doing the diet to help JR. He still wants to lose another 60-70 pounds, so I am here to encourage. I have said it before, and I will say it again...the layer of belly fat that I have isn't going anywhere without the use of a plastic surgeon. I have tried the eating right and the exercising...it doesn't go anywhere. I said last year that I was going to use my income tax this year to get it removed...but since everything is going into the house...I may have to wait a little longer. Plus, I still think we may have one more baby in another 3-4 years, so I might as well wait until I know for sure we are done. It depends on how soon I can start taking classes for cosmetology...it takes 9 months to complete if you go full time, and the thin is, I want to work for at least 18 months before I get pregnant again. So I guess we will see!
