Still Alive

With everyone heading back to school this week, I've realized summer is over. While summer doesn't have as much meaning for me as it used to when I was teaching, I still can't believe it is gone. (Although, the 100 degree weather doesn't know it is!)

I had big plans this summer. Barrett and I were going to hang out at Cindy's pool, Barrett was going to get to see his cousin's a bunch, we wanted to go see my Aunt's lakehouse, Barrett would take his first trip to the beach, and Doug and I wanted to plan a trip to Corpus Christi to watch my cousin, Mark, play baseball with the CC Hooks. Well, summer is gone, and none of this happened.

Instead, I was parked on the couch moaning or in the bathroom on the floor, Barrett entertained himself around the house as best he could, Doug worked, and my Dad and Mary came in for a month to take care of me and Barrett. Sounds fun, huh!

The good news is I am slowly getting better. I am thirteen weeks pregnant today, and with the help of Zofran (and Tylenol for the headache the Zofran causes), I have actually left the house the past few days.

So, now that I am "better", I am BUSY. Barrett's first birthday is tomorrow, and his party is Saturday. The to do list for that is ridiculous! And if that wasn't enough, Barrett starts Mother's Day Out next week, but with that comes getting all his stuff together.

Barrett is waking up so I have to run. Here is a picture of Barrett with the treat his Daddy gave him last night. He loves his Daddy!
