Friday friday Friday!

So glad it's Friday!

This seriously has been such a busy week!

Yesterday we had MOPS and it was so much fun! It was our kick off so all of us, mom's and children, were in the worship center. Snow White was there and a princess bouncer! Both Teagan and Riordan jumped so much and for so long! Teagan got pushed around by a little boy, so that ended it for her. We mingled, hung out with friends, and ate snacks. By the time it was over, we were all pooped, hot, and grouchy though LOL. Came home and Aislinn had a longggg nap.

Then we had everyone's dentist appointments at Dr. Welch's office. Mike was able to help out this time! Thank God! Caden of course was his usually friendly self.  He did say he was a bit nervous, but soon was feeling just fine. Teagan, I'm so proud of her! She let them do x-rays and a little cleaning! However when Dr. Welch came in, she flipped out, but still let him check all her teeth! No cavities for her! Caden has two again. Poor guy has my yuck mouth. Riordan however, was all talk up until and then flipped out. Didn't help that his assistant shamed him on crying saying he would make the other children in the office upset and scared. Instead of tackling her to the ground, I told Riordan that it's okay to cry and he didn't have to do what he didn't want to do. I think that was good enough. She should know better! So no x-rays, cleaning, or a open mouth check on Riordan.. next time should be better. He was so ready to show Dr. Welch his sugar bugs!

After that I rushed to my PT appt, while Mike took the zoo home. It feels so much better since it was moved back into place and I have just a slight twinge of pain on the left where it moved, but my SI is still not inflammed and my right side's tightness went away by Tuesday morning, the day after it was corrected! So he said he see's no reason that my next appointment can't be my last! HURRAY!! I asked when I could golf and play tennis again and he said to wait a good 6 months to really strengthen my back. Try golf first for a month and then tennis. So 6 months, I will be out swinging again! I'm so ready!

THEN I had to rush to the grocery to pick up a few things for Aislinn and milk for the rest of the zoo, then rush home to get Caden for cirriculum night at his school. Riordan came along as well. The sky was looking dark and angry and I thought for sure it would open up while we were there. It was a good night, Caden showed me all he's little places for his work and his blanket for rest, his art projects for the special night, and so much more. Found out they have Grandparents day on Friday Sept 6th, sooo no pressure out there, but I know how much it would mean to him!! If only it were later in the month, I know!

As we made it into our driveway, the sky let out a loud clap of thunder! We had a huge duststorm and rain. Mike's car was all muddy this morning.

I finished yet another book last night, The Rent Tent. It is an amazing book! I loved it! And before that, Confessions of a Shopaholic. It was very Bridget Jones to me, but did enjoy it. Both are for my book club. I just love being able to find time to read again. I was so exhausted before, the moment I would pick up a book I'd be asleep!I'm way ahead on The Red Tent, but couldn't put it down! LOL It won't be until Sept I think that we will discuss it. My other book club we are reading, Love the One Your With. Need to still pick it up.

This morning I went and worked out, it just feels so great to work out! 6 am, then rush home to get everyone ready for school. After dropping Caden off, R, T, A, and I went to Basha's to get a few things then I took him to school. 

Mike and I have date night. Our girl Julie is coming to take care of the zoo. Let me tell you how blessed I feel to have such two amazing women in our life helping us out! Both are so sweet and nuturing too! For our date we are going to see my beloved Braves play the Diamondbacks. I haven't been to a game all year, so I'm looking forward to it!

Can't be crazy though I have a workout at 7 am with Joe!

Oh and just my gripe for the week:

I'm doing so much better with Aislinn and her allergies. However I'm a bit miffed still at a comment made by a woman I just met. When saying all the allergies she had, she goes, "Did you have them pregnant and nursing?" I said, "Yes" I know there's a theory that exposing them is might be the cause of the allergy. So she goes, "That's why she has it". Is she a doctor? I don't know, because immediately following her statement she picked up her phone to answer.

My rebuttle is, I find it hard to believe that what I have eaten, which has been the same throughout every pregnancy of all my four children and even while nursing CAUSED her to have a Milk, Egg, Peanut, and Tree nut allergy. Why did Caden, Riordan, and Teagan not get it but Aislinn did? What the heckle jeckle is a pregnant and nursing mom supposed to eat if she can't atleast have milk and egg to supply important nutrition to herself and her child?

What I didn't get to say either is on Mike's side of the family his brother and his son both have food allergies and THAT is the reason Aislinn has them. And that is from my doctor, which is why we go in every 6 months because of family history. It's just how she was made up. I would never make someone feel that why nor do I feel guilty either, but she probably didn't know that her comment could be so insulting either.

Feel better now ;-)
