One of THOSE Weeks

After posting last Monday, yes LAST week...I became terribly sick with what I thought was a cold. Turns out it was a pretty gnarly sinus infection. So, I left work early on Tuesday and stayed home all day Wednesday.

I was back in the office on Thursday, but completely drowned in make-up work...rrh! Sadly, Friday wasn't much better and I worked for a friend on Saturday.

I was exhausted yesterday and spent the day pretty much on the couch still hacking my guts out. You're welcome of the imagery! So, long story short I haven't cleaned my house, done laundry, or cooked a meal in almost two full weeks.

Anyway, I was eager to get back into the routine of our lives today. You know, clean the toilets and go to the grocery. Yeah, that didn't happen.

After the show this morning Eric called me to come take him to the emergency room with what we thought was a kidney stone. We spent our entire morning and a portion of the afternoon in the ER. Luckily...or maybe not so lucky if you're Eric...he had two separate problems that mimicked a kidney stone.

So, now we are home...in a dirty house...vegging out to the Olympics and gorging ourselves on fast food...AGAIN!

Here's to hoping tomorrow is the start of a better week here in the Watson home.

Hit Me With Your Best Shot

Have I ever told you that Eli loves sports? Ha! I look back at him with baseballs and basketballs at 18 months old ,and it blows my mind that he's still so interested. The thing is, he doesn't discriminate. Baseball, basketball, football, soccer...you name it, we play it! Not only do we play sports all day, we also have to watch certain videos on Youtube. We watch "Boys of Fall," while wearing a football helmet. We watch Alabama's "Cheap Seats," John Fogerty's"Centerfield," and Kenny Rogers, "The Greatest" while holding a bat, carrying a ball, and wearing a batting helmet. And now, thanks to Space Jam, we have to listen to the movie sound track while shooting hoops! That's a blast from the past! He hasn't found a song about soccer or golf...YET! And with all that playing, who has time to run inside for a potty break? Not this boy! I never thought

A New Decade

Happy 2020, everyone! I know I'm a month and a half behind, but ya'll, January was brutal! Not brutal in a tragic kind of way but in a "life will wear you out" kind of way. It started off with the flu...times three! Eric, Ellie and I had Flu B and missed the first week back to school and work. Then Eli was diagnosed with Flu A two weeks later. Thankfully, my in-laws stepped in to help so that we didn't have to miss any more time at work. On top of the sickness, we listed our house for sale. The work it takes getting ready for market is just crazy. But we also have people coming in and out of our home at all hours and it's just kinda overwhelming. Plus, we are finalizing everything with the builder. In full transparency, working with the builder has been the easiest part! Maybe I'll do a little update on the whole building process later this week. Now that the dust has settled on 2020, I'm going to try my very hardest to keep this litt

Running Through The Sprinkler

Playing in the sprinkler was on our summer bucket list. To me it seems weird just checking if off and moving on to the next activity because when I was younger, we ran through a sprinkler pretty much every day. Putting it under the trampoline and letting it keep all the "jumpers" cool, was a favorite pastime. I cringe now. What the heck were we doing with eight kids on a net-free trampoline anyway? Ha! Back to the present…Eric treated the pool yesterday, so we couldn't swim which made it the perfect night to drag out the water hose and sprinkler. Neither child loved it at first, so we turned down the pressure. They slowly but surely warmed up to it. Bless her little heart, Ellie stood right in the middle and took a direct hit. She would make the worst face you've ever seen then cry ridiculsouly if you tried to move her. Eli ran straight though the middle with his eyes closed. Thank goodness our yard is basically an o
