Okay, so this year Spring Break has been a Debbie Downer you could say. Besides the fact that I get to play stay at home mommy again with my monkey man - everything else seems to kinda feel like a double downer - wah wah.
We can start with the most obvious - the weather. Seriously, snow, in March basically April? This is always the time of year when I ask myself, "Why do we live in Indiana again?" I know deep in my heart I am a total beach girl - which is why I spent 8 years of my life during school ensuring that I was in warm and sunny Florida each week. But I was looking forward to taking Cohen on stroller rides and possibly running for the first time together and testing out Brady's running ability (depending on his winter weight gain, ha). Unfortunately it is cold, SNOWING and sick outside. Wah.
Double wah to the fact that I've spent the majority of this week playing Dr. Mommy to Coco Bear as well. It started out as a simple cold, the progressively has gone from green snot city to rattling chest coughs. We went to the doctor for the first time (other than his shot appointments that is) and was ordered our first prescription. I love our doctor - great guy and basically told me use it if I need it, otherwise if he starts acting fine don't get it filled. However, this morning was cough city with a fever so to CVS we went. He's doing better now, but I am still bummed that we are dealing with his first illness. I guess it is a good thing I didn't have to take any days off but I'd rather have my healthy little monkey man. Oh the joys of daycare. Wah. Wah.
Finally, I decided to take this week to umm...dry myself up for better words. (So if you have a problem reading about this - suck it, and don't read my blog anymore. It is titled "Adventures in Mommyhood" for a reason.) All I have to say is holy pain - this is no joke. The things no one bothers to tell you as you become a mother. Wah. Wah. Wah.
So, as I think I'll end this post with something a little brighter so I don't sound like a total Debbie Downer. Cohen will be 6 months old next week - can hardly believe my little guy is already half a year old. I laugh thinking about last year at this time. I was just through my first trimester and finally feeling good. No more nausea and gag reflects to the smells of bread and Doritos. And here I am today, looking at my monkey man bouncing in his chair and moving his body as he gets ready to crawl. It is crazy how your life changes in a year's time. So wah to the weather, illness and drying out. But cheers to the new changes of my little man and the fact that Spring is coming oh so soon.
