I need a Mom Break

This week has been tough; I have needed a major mom break. Weeks like this make me jealous of mom’s that get to go to work and get a kid break. Gavin and Brody got a fever the first few days this week, not sure why I called the nurse hotline and they were stumped. Asked me a million questions like do you see any rashes are they getting teeth (not Gavin). Yesterday no fever and today was the first day out of the house this week. Chris was good to help me yesterday give me a break, let me go in my room, close the door, and watch TV while he made dinner and took care of the kids. Brody seems much happier. Gavin still a pain, cries over everything! Probably because he has been spoiled with Love from his grandparents. Today he got up from his nap crying because I told him NO about something. I told him to go to his room he went, I called him back after a minute and he didn’t come. Checked on him and he had fallen back asleep for another hour. Naps are the only thing that keeps my sanity during the day. Tonight Chris and I are going on a date to The Dark Night. Chris is super excited; I think it will be good. Mike is going to watch the kids so we can go, YEA! It will be so nice to get out of the house and do something fun besides go to Wal-mart. I still do not like Wal-mart cannot wait until Target is done across the street.

My parents have almost completely sold their house. From what I understand, they are staying in Utah until September then coming to Arizona. I think they are staying with us, but who knows they might rent. I would not blame them to rent, I need a Gavin break all the time even with how much I Love the little guy. Gavin demands a lot from Grandpa always wearing on him, “I’m not as young as he used to be.” as Grandpa puts it. We cannot wait until they live close. We sure love them.

Brody update, he is a mover. He can now roll ALL directions and scoots around in a circle. He is growing so fast, next thing I know he will be as active as Gavin, OH NO!
