Moms aren't supposed to get sick

The last few days have been terribly miserable for the whole family to say the least. Corbin and I went to his school Valentines Day party last week and prior to arriving it was evident that he was starting to get sick. The typical runny nose has started and it was only a matter of time before it would get worse. Well I didn't have much time to prepare for the sickness at all because we got to his school and POW, I think every little kid in there had a runny, crusty nose and some took it a step further and had a cough too so that was game over as far as I was concerned. We enjoyed the rest of his party, which was super cute to watch. I always enjoy getting to see him interact with his teachers and fellow classmates, he certainly has a different personality that comes out when he is around those people compared to when he is at home with us. It warms my heart to see how far he has come since the first tear filled day to now where he could care less if I said bye or not.

So for the sickness, Corbin continued to go down hill with more snot, coughs, and extra extra fancy bathroom breaks which caused us to take a few steps back and take a break from potty training and slam diapers back on that booty. Which leads me to a side note, those moms who use the reusable diapers.... OMGosh! I don't know how you do it! I think I could deal with a #1 in there but a #2 nope no way no how! cleaning up a dirty diaper is one thing but dirty underpants (which is similar to reusable diapers) NO WAY not for this lady. Surprisingly though even though we had to take a break from underpants Corbin has been doing a great job of still staying dry and wanting to use the potty so it hasn't been so bad. Then the bomb dropped.... Mama started to get sick!! I try so very hard to stay healthy, eat my greens and garlic and stay out of the line of fire when it comes to getting sick but my shield was weak this time I guess. Thank heavens the hubs was home over the weekend to help take some of the pressure off of me which was a huge help. He went back to work today and I am feeling slightly better, hoping to see more improvement as the week goes on. As for Corbin, I just don't know how this kid does it! Since he has started school obviously we have encountered more germs and had more colds than I would like BUT better now than when he starts kindergarten I suppose but he never misses a beat. His nose could be falling off his face and he could be filling up diapers left and right and he is still going full force, I guess I should be grateful for that but its no help when mama is sick and he still wants to run around like a wack-o. If only I could harness 1/3 of that energy. Still playing super hero's and trying to drop kick his daddy, some days I wonder if things would have been different if he were a girl, then I wonder if we would have just had a wack-o girl... guess we will never know, unless we have another one, thats a girl ha ha.

Any ways never a dull moment in our house


Almost a daily occurrence in our house. If I didn't get woke up like this I would be worried

Watching the slam dunk challenge with his daddy

Moments before this picture was taken he learned what it feels like to have your little toe reach out and grab the edge of a table leg. He then proceeded to tell me why a popsicle would make EVERYTHING all better.
