After the surgery in December it's been one thing after another. I've had the stomach flu, the sinus cold, stomach flu still on and off and can't get rid of the sinus cold! Can't seem to get back on top of everything. Just had my thyroid and iron levels checked yesturday so maybe they'll come back in a way that I'll be able to get things under control. If my body wasn't so worn out it would recover better!
Mowing season is right around the corner and I'm getting more calls about that every day. So soon it will be time to leave Kolh's again and do that.
The boys are doing great and have been begging to go sledding for weeks now. So hopefully we make it up the hill this weekend.

Life at home
Things have been up and down around here. I feel fine one day and miserable the next! One day at a time!
We did find a truck finally nothing fancy. 1989 Chevy 1500 extended cab with a shell. The paint is coming off but other wise is in good shape and should do the summer job of mowing this year. Still waiting to hear from two big jobs to know if they are hiring us which would be good money wise. Trying to get the answers so I can start to set up the schedule and know what I'm doing this summer.
Tristan is doing great in school as a lot of his grades have improved. All the social skills have improved and that's a big thing for Tristan. Tristan will walk away from someone not being nice and not hit or do something back. He takes a break from that person even his brothers and that is a huge thing for Tristan! We are so proud of his efforts and how hard he's trying. He reads good and struggles with some letters and numbers still but otherwise he knows them all which is a huge improvement from the beginning of the year. Way to go Tristan!
Austin he's good at everything and next year in school he's going to fly right through school. He's working on learning to read with Tristan. He's smart like Steven and artistic like me! We'll see what he struggles with next year as I'm sure there's something. He likes to play games like his daddy so we have to work on that.
Preston has still been sick on and off like me. Otherwise he just goes and goes. He is sure he can do what ever the brothers do and he will stop at nothing to prove it. His vocabulary is increasing all the time and it's getting easier to know what he wants. He is all boy. Rough and tough and there's no stopping Preston!

Sick
Preston's been sick with the stomach flu and then of course I got it. With my system already having been compromised it made it easy to get sick. I haven't thrown up like he's done but still tired of the stomach bubbling all day long! I ran on Monday and by Monday night I felt sick. The last time I did Monday's run I ended up in the ER! Ha Ha Maybe it's Monday's run!
No vechicle sure makes it hard to go anywhere. We don't go much of any where anyways but with no wheels we are trapped and Preston and I feel it the most. Can't go to the store today to get milk that we're out of because I have no way to get there except walk in the cold. Tuesday Tristan left for school and Preston started putting his coat on. I asked him if he was going out back to play and he said no and pointed to the garage door to leave. I think he thought we were taking Trisatan to school! So I kept asking him why we were putting his coat, gloves, and boots on if he wasn't going out back to play. He kept insisting on leaving the house and finally settled on going out back!
A few weeks ago we read an article in one of our church magizines and it talked about God blessing us or something. It really touched me and I talked the boys about all that had happened to me and why I hadn't died. Tristan with no hesitation says, "Because your supposed to be our Mommy!" What a smart boy and how good it felt for him to realize why mom was still here. He'd think just maybe he love me!

Out in the morning air!
I loved the run/walk this morning with Cindy/the Mob! It felt great to get back out there and run with the Mob. Cindy took it easy on me and told me we'd go at my pace! I knew she would! It was 32 degrees out and felt great. Lots of talk of training for Robie or Potato which are both right around the cornor. The guys are using Robie as their training for the Potato marathon. I'd like to do the marathon, yet I'm not sure about the back a forth. Time will tell on how quickly I recover from my month off. To have someone to talk to and get out the energy and restlessness was the best part of my day.
Now it's back to being mom and do, do, do for meeeeee. Sick little man doesn't help as he wants full attention when he want's it and that means right now mum! We have a friend over and I'm still not sure if that helps or makes things worse. I sure do love them though!

Fogged in
We went truck shopping this weekend and got nothing but disappointment! We do realize it was a blessing in disguise. I just hate getting taken advantage of by a stupid car dealership that won't listen to me. So we are still on the look out for a truck!
It's been wonderfully foggy the last two days. Today it was pretty cold to go walking to get Tristan, crying kids, dragging on the wagon, and so on make the trip even more fun! So I was having a bad morning. I did get some scrapbook pages done this morning after cleaning up the mess at the desk. I'm so far behind it will take me a while to catch up at this rate. I haven't scrap booked since I was pregnant with Preston.
I just can't wait to feel completely better so I don't drag! Working on changing the thyroid and still some pain. One of my managers couldn't believe I was still hurting. I wanted to tell her you go have it done and tell me how you feel. Work has been good about it all but it amazes me how little people know about what happened and how dangerous it is.
Days like today it was hard not to complain. I catch myself and think how ungrateful am I. It truly could be worse! Then I take some deep breaths and wait for the poor me feeling to go away.

Melting Snow
It's so much fun splashing through the melting snow! Although I doubt anyone likes it back on the sidewalk.
Melting or not it doesn't stop the boys from going out. Preston is told no because he needs his nap. I love snow pants because they keep them dry and warm so they play outside for hours! Gives me some peace and quite and they get the rowdiness out.
Preston thinks he should take a late nap after fighting it and then he wakes up after 5pm and doesn't think that 8pm bed time applies to him. Last night he talked to himself in bed for a couple hours before he finally went to sleep.

Down and Out
It's been 2 weeks since surgery and things look good but no running for another 2 weeks. That seems like an eternity!
Tristan missed going to school so he's loving being back!
Austin likes it too so he has alone time on the games!
Preston goes around holding his nose and saying "tinky"!
After every thing that's happened I know what a blessing these three angels are! I already knew it but now it's even stronger. Plus my own life!
