A Manic Monday.....

There is never a dull moment around here. Monday morning after getting back from Calgary Caden fell and landed hard on his chin. After cleaning up the crazy amount of blood that poured forth I saw that it was really deep and bad looking so we went to the Emergency Room. They agreed that he needed stitches so we waited there all morning and part of the afternoon. He was SO good the whole time. He played and was so patient. Justin brought us lunch. Finally it was our turn though and that was pretty tough. He cried the whole time and was drenched in sweat. We had him wrapped in a blanket to keep his hands down and I was holding him. The nurse held his head while the doctor put the stitches in. It was pretty traumatic for him. There was a moment when I thought I was going to cry but I made it through. Once it was done he was fine and has been good ever since. I guess it's one of those things. But now he can never say he has never had stitches.

We couldn't go home afterwards because people were looking at our condo all afternoon (so Caden had his nap in the car) but it worked out and we have a conditional offer - conditions to be removed by next monday. So - hopefully all works out and that big hurdle is crossed off the to do list. I'm ready for a quiet uneventful couple of days. We'll see what happens :)

yay for the condo part. Now Caden can brag to all the chicks about the knife fight he got into and how at two years old he took out like 3, 4th graders or something. He is Justin's kid though, so he will come up with something great!! hehe. Hope the rest of your week has been a little less uneventful. See you tomorrow.

Never a fun time - having had the same situation happen to me - although I was slightly older than Caden was. Scar will be there forever... as will the memory of the event (hopefully in his case he does forget because he's so young).

Had a bought with Ronan in the Emergency Room recently - needing IV's due to rapid dehydration - wrapped in a sheet held down by TWO male nurses AND his father while I cried in the hallway. Never easy being a mom, but after I composed myself, I came back into the room to find that they weren't successful and had to call in a female nurse to do the work. Go figure!

How emotionally exhausting on everyone's part - one of the male nurses larger than Brent left with tears in his eyes.

It will get better as they age I hope - although the damage they do to themselves will also get better too - broken arms, legs, etc. as a result of the things our little boy loves to do. Ronan's now at the stage where he sees how many steps he can jump from to get to the bottom without landing on his bum. Who doesn't love a challenge?

Good times ahead! ;)

It was a cool day. Almost too cold. The kind of cold that makes you rethink your very existence.... Boy. I am waaaay to tired for that. So I will give you the un-dramatic version. So, we are getting bombarded with requests for an update and pictures. So I will oblige and provide you with all the gory details. Actually, there are no gory details. In what can only be described as an amazing answer to many prayers, the new Mooney babies were brought into this world with no problems what so ever. We entered the hospital at 10:00 in the morning and were taken to the surgery room around 12:00 noon. At exactly 12:38, the first baby, Dylan Michael was born weighing in at 6 pounds even. Then, also at 12:38, Evan Timothy also charged into the world weighing in at 5.2 pounds. Then, at 12:39 Liam David was born weighing 4.8 pounds. For those of you good at math, that is a whopping 16 pounds worth of babies. 16 POUNDS!!! And even though them just being born at 36 weeks and 5 days isn...

Did you know?

So, did you know that exercising regularly can help you have more energy!? Okay, so did I. And did you know that eating healthily also helps with that? As does going to bed at a decent time at night? I guess we all know that but I haven't been good at acting like I know that. I was getting frustrated. I was just so tired in the evenings. I wasn't having the kind of quality time with my kids or my husband that I wanted. I didn't feel like going out with friends in the evening. I was okay during the day but that's not when I am with my people, for the most part anyway. Sometimes, I would fall asleep on the couch before my kids bedtime!! If I wasn't asleep, I was lethargic and unmotivated. Just not the me that I wanted to be. It doesn't sound like much, but I just couldn't stand wanting to be intentional but not having the energy to do the things that mattered to me. And my kids are 9,9,9 and 11. That's old enough that I can't use the...

And the final answer is....
