The Waiting Game

Reagan got physically sick about one hour ago while we were getting ready for bed. He had said his tummy hurt about an hour before that. Other than that one hour he has been normal all day long. (How can things come up so quickly??) He is running a fever, too.

When I picked him up from school on Tuesday his teacher said they had to combine the two classes (of his age group) because a little girl in the other class got sick about 20 minutes before the end of school. I didn't think much of it until I also saw his teacher yesterday at the library. She asked if Reagan had shown any signs of getting sick, and I said "no". Her daughter who is in the class with the other little girl had not shown any signs either.

So now I'm wondering if he has the same little bug that the sick little girl had.

And now I'm waiting.

Waiting to see if Reagan gets sick any more tonight.

Waiting to see how long this bug, if it is a bug, lasts.

Waiting to see if I get sick...I was in the splash zone.

Waiting to see if anyone we have come into contact with since Tuesday afternoon gets sick. (Sorry to all of you who we've seen.)

The unknown isn't always fun and exciting.

We are very fortunate in the area of icky-sickness. The ONLY other time Reagan had a tummy bug was when he was four months old.

A Day Off

Thank you Jen and Em for posting this. I needed a no-brainer today.

Tomorrow: is Thursday. Reagan goes to school, and I clean the house.

Feeling: a bit excited about sending out my resume tomorrow.

Happy because: I have a wonderful family, and we have so much fun together.

Today I: went to the library with Reagan and then got his hair cut.

Laundry: is in the process of being washed and dried, but I haven't put anything away yet. I still have 2 to 3 more loads to go.

Something I know: How hard David works to take care of us.

Currently reading: False Impression by Jeffrey Archer

Wanting: David to be able to go to bed at a normal time for an entire week.

Favorite gadget: I'm sure you all know...our new Wii!!!!!!

Thankful that: I'm really thankful for everything...what God has provided, my family, the ability to stay home, all circumstances that happen (good and bad), and mostly the little guy in my life.

Wondering why: my dogs eat cat poop

Feel free to copy and paste...it's going around.

Missing Something?

I woke up without something this morning. I don't know where I put it, but it surely isn't with me today. I've lost my...

Patience. My patience with Reagan. And I'm totally aware of it, so you'd think that I'd be able to control my behavior and attitude when reacting to his. Yeah, not so much.

R: I want that green car on the box with the dirt track toy (which Santa brought him).

M: It doesn't come with a green car. It was just a picture. It only comes with Dirt Track McQueen.

R: I want the green car with it.

M: There is no green car. It was just a picture.

R: I want the green car. It comes with it.

M: (voice slightly raised) No. It doesn't come with it. It was just a picture.

R: It does come with it.

At this point I'm very close to shaking some reason into him so I leave the room.

This happened with several other conversations today. I just had to reason with him. Because he wasn't accepting anything that I was saying. But guess what? You can't reason with a 3 year old.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To those of you who wondered how David felt about me posting that video of him yesterday~~he did enjoy it. He is able to laugh at himself, and I believe that he isn't the teeniest embarrassed at the fact that everyone in the entire internet world is able to see him box.

To those of you who requested a video of me boxing~~I may just have to allow that. The reason being is that I full out box. I mean, I'm doing punches, upper cuts, dodging left and right, ducking down, etc...almost everything but kicking. It is like my Billy Blanks Tae Bo workout. Doesn't everyone Wii like that???

Macho, Macho Man!

I've got to be a macho man... ~~The Village People...you've gotta love 'em.

He's amazing. He's handsome. He's smart. He's an awesome husband. He's a wonderful father. He's loving. He's strong. He's witty. He's funny. He's athletic. He's a hard worker. He excels in most activities.

He's NOT a macho boxer...

Playing Wii Boxing. In the first round. I really should have recorded him in the final round!

Wii Would Like to Play

Yes!!!

We have a Wii!!!

Both my mom and my sister called me this morning while we were getting ready for church to tell me that Circuit City had Wii's. They open at 10.

Church starts at 10. What to do, what to do...

Lucky for us our church is currently meeting at a movie theater which just happens to be right next door to a Circuit City. Wahoo!! So we got to Circuit City at 9:50. I was number 6 in line. We were told that they had 9 Wii's. When the doors opened the employees walked us back to the warehouse doors where we waited in line to receive our Wii one at a time.

We were only 15 minutes late for church~~we just missed the singing.

David says that I need to ask God for forgiveness for being late to church for a Wii. But he is just as excited as I am. :)

David is in the process of setting it right now. I can't wait!

Home Alone

David took Reagan to Home Depot a bit ago, and I have been cleaning the living room and kitchen and such. I love having this alone time~~even if I am doing chores.

Reagan is in a phase to where he is extremely attached to me. I find it very odd that at this age (3 and almost 4 months) that he can be this way. David and I believe that it is because he is with me all the time. But what are we supposed to do? David gets home at 7ish from work We eat dinner. We play. We go to bed. So I can leave Reagan in that short chunk of time.

Because of David's new job he is leaving the house earlier. Sometimes Reagan is awake before he leaves. Sometimes he isn't. David used to get Reagan up one day during the work week and on Saturday. But lately (for a couple of months now) Reagan freaks out if David goes into his bedroom to get him up. He screams at David saying, "I want Mommy!". He finally gets over it, but it is a pain in the butt for David to have to deal with that.

Back to being home alone. Right before they left Reagan screamed and cried and yelled because I wasn't going to Home Depot. He wanted to stay home. I decided that maybe he was hungry so the boys had a sandwich...then all was well.

David and I are going out tonight. Tita (David's mom~~short for Abuelita) will be coming over here. They have a good time and all, but I hate for him to be even the tiniest bit upset just because I'm not here.

I would think that at almost 3 1/2 he would be over this Mommy attachment, but he doesn't seem to be. David and I always, always, always talk about how we need to go out on dates more often, but it never seems to happen. I think that if we did Reagan would be so miserable without me.

The boys are home and are now riding bikes outside. I think I will go join them. I missed them. :)

Wii Quest

I was told earlier this week at Toys R Us to "check back on Friday" for a Wii. So Reagan and I got dressed quickly this morning, and wii were camped outside the front doors 5 minutes before they opened. I was so excited. My search was over. David and I were going to be bowling and boxing and playing tennis into the wii (ha!) hours of the night.

The doors finally unlocked. Wii raced to the electronic room. Wii looked around and waited for someone to help us. I asked if they had any Wii's. Nope. They didn't! I asked when I should check back again. The sales guy didn't know..."sometime next week". Ugh!

Luckily Best Buy is in the same shopping center. So Reagan and I raced over to Best Buy only to find out that they didn't have any Wii's either.

Oh, man! When will wii ever get our Wii??? I guess wii'll just have to settle for a game of Scene It tonight.
