CHAOS...Thats my life!!

This has been another very busy week, and its only Wed.!! I keep thinking that sometime soon things will slow down a bit...well it not going to happen in Sept, maybe October???

Monday Jackson had his appointment with the pulminologist. It went well and Jackson actually smiled at the doctor a few times!! Normally he hangs onto me for dear life and starts to cry the minute doctors come near him. Needless to say he has had a lot done to him in his little life and he remembers a lot!!

This doctor has diagnosed Jackson with reactive airway disease or asthma. So Jackson is being put on inhaled steriods and singular. The inhaler is actually going fine, so far. Its a regular inhaler but the inhaler gets stuck in a tube and on the end of the tube is a face mask that looks like a duck. Well Jackson likes to quack when i put it over his mouth....so at least he tolerates that!! The singular is not going so well. Its granules, kind of like a suger packet that you can sprinkle on soft foods and then let him eat it. Well last night i put it in some applesause...well i guess he hates applesause cause he gagged everytime i put some in his mouth. Not sure how i am going to get him to take this, as he is not really big into jello, pudding, mashed potatoes...anything soft. I am gone this evening so i will see if Brian can come up with some creative way of getting him to take it....i am not holding my breath!

Yesterday Morgan started piano lessons. So far its going well and she really enjoyed it. She even got up early this morning so she could go play the song she learned. Its two notes over and over and over....but she is very proud of her song and makes her brothers listen!!

I am also working on getting stuff ready for a garage sale that starts tomorrow. Its just a lot of work!! I am hoping a lot of stuff sales because i do not want to haul it all back downstairs!! The garage sale will be Thursday-Saturday, so that a lone will keep me plenty busy.

If thats not enough the kids want to go camping a few more times yet this year. So we are hauling our camper to Sandy Hollow. A whole 8 miles from home:) But its a campground and thats all the kids care about. So once i am done with the garage sale stuff, hopefully i can relax a little bit.

We go camping again next weekend to a campground in RockValley. Its new and actually really nice. They have a little swimming pond with a beach...however since the temps have only been in the 60's lately i doubt there will be any swimming going on. I also might have Logans birthday party out there...depends on the weather! So yes, i have another birthday coming up so that will be keeping me busy as well!!

Then school starts for me in two weeks.

Pray for my sanity:)

Not much new....

Not much new in our lives lately...not that that is a bad thing!! We spent our Labor Day weekend mostly at home. I needed to get a ton of cleaning done, and get stuff ready for a garage sale. I did not get near finished, i can't believe how much stuff is packed into our house!!! Its time to do a DEEP cleaning in every room, just not sure when i will find time to do this!!

Dylan had an appointment last week at the Child Health Speciality Clinics. I always enjoy these appointments as it gives me a good idea of how Dylan is doing on all levels. He has gone down on his BMI which is AWESOME NEWS!!! We just keep pushing healthy foods and lots of exercise. He is doing great with gross motor and cognitive, and as normal still way behind on fine motor, that i am sure will never change. They will also start monitoring him for ADHD this year just because he is at such high risk for learning disorders and shows a few signs.

Jackson goes to see a few specialists next week, i can't wait!!!! I am ready to figure out why he is always getting Pneumonia, and what we can do to keep him healthier this winter...last year was awful!! The poor kid is terrified of doctors, i can't say as i blame him, he has had a ton of stuff done to him in his short life.

Morgan went to the dentist today, she has only one small cavity...that is great news!! She does however have to see an orthodontist because she has an over bite and a crowed ed little mouth. Not suprising that she will be needing braces sometime in the next couple of years.

Logan and Jackson started at their brand new daycare today. They were so excited and i can't say that i blame them, it looks like a very cool place. Everything is so new and nice...not sure how long that will last with over 100 little kids attending this daycare!

Well that's about all for now. I should probably get some work done!
