Wow, it feels like it has been forever since I have updated. The last week was very busy! Preston went to the Dermatology Clinic
Tuesday and had a wart frozen off. He was such a champ. They brought extra people into the room to help hold him down but there was no need for that he just laid there and didn't even flinch. As they were freezing it off, he just looked at me wide eyed and with this horrible look on his face. I can only imagine the thoughts going through his head. I treated him to
McDonald's ice cream afterward (his favorite).
Wednesday morning I arrived home for work to my wonderful husband sleeping in bed! I was so
surprised he wasn't suppose to be home until late Wed. night. He told me he was worried that I may have talked to the other guys girlfriends and they may have ruined the
surprise, luckily I hadn't so it worked out in his favor. It has been nice having him home but actually quite an adjustment for me and the kids. After being home with the boys by myself for the last 2 months I have made some adjustments to their routine and to my own. I am also used to my time alone, I feel like I have a 3rd kid at home. O well I can't complain, I am just so happy for him to be at home. Dex has a couple of jobs lined up to start this spring and hopefully
thru the summer, we will see how it goes. He wants to start his own painting business now, he has learned
so much in the last year working for our friends. For me I wish he would just go back to a normal job but he just doesn't have that drive to work for Corporate
America. I will support him in whatever he decides to do as long as a little bit of money is coming in.
We had a fun night
Thurs, P had to stay up until midnight so our friends Nina and Rick came over to hang out with P and we had a little party! P had a blast, he is always excited for people to come over and play with him. I think Nina had enough of the puzzles that P had her doing all night. P is obsessed with puzzles and will put them together for hours. P had a little meltdown at midnight about
chocolate milk and had to cry himself to sleep. 4 o'clock came quick and I got up with P.
Actually, we slept on the couch until about 515. It was funny we would both fall asleep and then I would briefly wake up and nudge P and say "we have to get up P" and then we would both fall back to sleep. At 515 I told myself that I HAD to get up. P was like a doll, I kept trying to set him up to wake him up and he would fall over. It was hard but we managed. He had his EEG at 930 on Friday, I have no idea how it went. Preston was so tired that he was falling asleep while the Technician, Heather, was putting the electrodes on his head we had to keep talking to him since a portion of the test was monitoring him while he slept. After she finished we kept telling P he looked like
spiderman with a web coming out of his head. Since P was being so good for the technician she asked for us not to be in the room during the exam. I was a bit hesitant because I had promised P that I wouldn't leave him but when she said they get better test results if the parents
weren't in the room because the child can focus solely on the test, I decided to leave. Plus P was falling asleep and said that it was
OK. About an hour and half later the test was over and we were on our way. The pediatricians office is supposed to call within 3 days to let us know the results so until then we are playing the waiting game. After the test I was
obsessed with asking P if he felt funny during the test and of course he said yes. I would then go onto how he felt, if he felt his heart racing or if he felt like he did when he had "
gotton sick" (the terminology we use for the times he had the seizures) and of course I got a yes to everything. Dexter had to tell me to stop asking him! He said "Apes he is 4 and he is going to answer yes to everything". I eventually gave up. After the test we all went home a took a nap. At 230 pm I heard a yell and something crack and a bang outside our bedroom window. Then the doorbell started ringing and Max was barking like crazy. I reluctantly got up to find my neighbor at my door when I look outside I noticed they were cutting down the tree in their yard which is right next to our driveway. I thought she was coming to ask me to move the car yet instead she told me that there is a problem---the tree hit your van! I think a said a few cuss words and was a little in shock and went out to look at the damage! There are 2 huge dents on the drivers side of the van and scratches all over the top, side and back. I also think the back window is loose from where the tree landed because it was
squeaking like no other when I drove it tonight. I immediately got Dexter to let him deal with everything. It turns out the guys cutting the tree down weren't insured and our neighbor said they would just pay for it out of pocket--Dexter was not about to trust them on that because there is probable $10,
ooo worth of damage to my car. I immediately called my sister (who works for a lawyer) and she told be to get the name of their insurance agent and make a claim on their home insurance. Of course this was Friday afternoon so we were able to talk to someone at their office but I am not sure if an actual claim was filed. They said they would get back to us but we never heard anything. I am actually glad I am working Sunday night so Dexter can deal with all that Monday morning.
Well I will update later in the week after I get results from the test and hopefully put up some new pics of the boys. P is growing his hair out like Joe Jonas from the Jonas Brothers. It is quite funny and I think he looks like he has a mop head but whatever. That is the "in" style for boys these days. I figure this style can't last long.
