Update

Dearest blog and blog readers,

I know it has been awhile. I really don't have much excuse but I will try and catch you up in my life.

1. I'm sick, AGAIN. It seemed simple enough but I can't seem to shake it. I finally went back to the dr. after 12 days of not feeling so hot. They've drawn blood again and suspect my recent bout of mono has rared its head again. Figures right... but I guess the truth is I struggle to balance my life and my lack of sleep is killing my immune system, not that I was ever one to always be healthy.

2. Kelso going great! He was sick but that seems to have passed. His language skills are improving and he is so much fun... always on the go but SO much fun. I have to admit 18 months is a fun age but it's also challenging. He's into everything, running, playing, learning, pushing boundaries, having tantrums.
I love it!

3. Work is still up in the air. I'm not sure what my plan is, the big meeting is next month and we should know more then. That being said I have no doubt that the facility is closing... and I suspect it will be sooner rather than later. I don't know how long it will take to build the facility but I highly doubt it till take more than a year. I'm trying to just remain calm and positive. Something will come along when it is suppose to.

4. My dad has been sick on and off for months. Lung disease is horrible. For any of you smokers, I hope you can quit early on. It's horrible to see him suffer.

5. Our 10 year anniversary is coming up. :) So exciting! We're planning a trip down to FL, and we'll be staying a few mins away from them. The plan is for us to be able to sleep, rest, and spend time alone during the day while my parents watch Kelso. We also have plans to have some family photos made, a trip to Universal/Islands of Adventure alone and the Magic Kingdom with Kelso to get his hair cut.... which I'm still not sure I want to do... but sort of feel like it is necessary.

6. I'm excited that the Fall TV schedule is coming back. It's nice to have shows we can watch together again.

7. I'm looking forward to taking Kelso to a football game soon. I think he's getting old enough that he will enjoy it a little bit. Unfortunately, it can't happen until we are all well.

8. I am excited about Fall but when did September become such a busy month? I mean seriously, it used to be October that was packed with thing, but now it's September AND October.

9. Kelso and I are going to Sesame Street Live on Wednesday and on Thursday we are going to see the Wiggles!! :) Kelso's first big show!

10. I have the baby bug but think it's just sleep deprivation. We are not ready to add to our family and will not be for a bit. That being said it's got me doing all kinds of thinking about providers, VBACs, hospital choices and on and on. This deserves its own post and surely will get one soon.

11. I'm in need of more CEUs. I am planning on attending one day at TNOTA and I'm trying to motivate myself to do more online... I wish the live ones weren't so dang expensive and I had more time to do the online ones during the day. It's so hard to find time for myself, little less my carrier self.

12. I don't know what we are going to be for Halloween. I had a plan... but the costumes were horrible. I thought about making some but I have soo much other crap to do it doesn't seem worth the effort.
