Checking in

This week has been more than busy. Even with my calender and organizer, I feel lost. We have had dentist appointments, in-services, parties, play dates, work observations, ARDS, and doctor's appointments. I am ready for it to calm down a bit so I can focus on what should be done, rather than being pushed through the day, as if I was in a turnstile.

I was able to finally get Addison's Valentines tutu made for a party she has on Saturday. I also made her a shirt and got some accessories to go with her sassy little outfit. I can't wait to post some pictures. She has her Daddy/ Daughter dance this evening, sans daddy. Matt has been out of town all week, so Papa will be taking her. The wrist corsage and boutonniere are set and ready to go. I am very bummed, however, as I will not be able to see the Princess and her date leave in their chariot, as I have another in service this evening.

Jake has been doing really well! His personality is just outstanding! I laugh at the two twerps so much during the day. I can never wait to get them home from school and spend some quality time with them.

He did have a couple tc's this weekend. They never get any easier to watch. I have not had to use "butt medicine" though, so that is very encouraging! Although, he has had the "big ones", it seems the past two weekends, he is doing great. I think we have been averaging 0-3 seizures a day. Sometimes, if he has one, it is not even a drop. He has been having absence, or staring seizures again. Even though we want all seizures to vanish, limiting the drops is awesome, as hopefully it will decrease our er trips.

I can't wait to post some pictures that I will be taking over the next couple days, so hopefully by Saturday night I will have a moment to breathe and update everyone again.

Thanks so much for your continued prayers, thoughts and words of encouragement!

I will leave with a hilarious quote by Little miss Addi. My mom and I can't stop laughing over this. It is literally one of those things that I think about and spit out my milk or it spews out my nose, or cry in the car by myself, because I am laughing so hard.

Addison:
"Papa, what are you drinking?"

Papa:
"tea"

Addison:
"Can I have some?"

Papa:
"not on my watch!"

Addison:
"Don't worry, Papa, I won't spill it on your watch."

Sometimes the laughter in mothering is the recognition of the ironies and absurdities. Sometime, though, it's just pure, unthinking delight. ~
