Michelle's path

Sorry blogger. The past 2 days have been rough. And go figure, the day after Nick leaves for TDY, I get sick. I felt it coming on yesterday but I was able to push through it and do my chores, play with the kids and do a run. But today, I could N.O.T. wake up.

Caden fell asleep in the swing a little before 8 am. I sat on the couch just wanting to rest my eyes and Kayla sat with her toys and the disney channel. Next thing I know I wake up 2 hours later and Kayla is still just playing and watching tv and Caden is still asleep. Wow.

My head is stuffy, my nose is either running or stuffy, my throat hurts, my energy is nonexistent.

And I think Kayla may be getting sick. She layed down for a nap at 12:30, woke up at 1 crying and sweating, went back to sleep after gulping her entire cup of OJ, and now its 3 pm and she is still out.


Of course, because now I am on my own and will be for another 6 days.

Oh, and of course because Dada is gone Caden decides to have a few firsts. The day after he left Caden decided to start to laugh out loud AND this morning when I went to get him out of his bed, he was facing the opposite direction from the way he went to sleep and somehow he torn down the baby monitor that was zip tied very tightly to his bed.

On another note, my weight is 145! ONE-FOUR-FIVE!

14 pounds down, started at 159.

My wedding ring is a lot looser on me and the sweatpants I had been wearing to run in I can no longer run in because they are too big.

Oh and today we got some mail.
