I think that i will echo kara's statement about my blogging abilities!!!
But in that same vain i will say " You can do it"!!! for the life of me i can not figure out what movie that is from, i totally hear it in my head... ooohhhh 50 first dates??? Someone help me?
anyway TANGENT! so though i am a bad blogger, i cant do it. Blogging will prevail!
so falling off the blogging wagon is not for lack of things to say or events in life, quiet literally the exact opposite. life has taken over. Many nights i have cracked the hinge of this trusty laptop in perfect intention to write a story, sing a song or just complain. but as the mommy tale goes it seems life interrupts each time i begin to 'feel the blog'. ' We have run the spectrum of issues and upsets in this house. currently we are battling croup. Yep, Croup! Before that we had it out with a bout of the sniffles and snots. Before that it was a battle of the barf and the ...well! As you can see we win the award for most illnesses in the course of a month! as i accept this award i would like to thank the academy, the mothers who bring sick kids to nursery and oh i cant forget all those people that leave their house with their disease before their fever is gone!!! I don't know what my life would be like without you all! WAIT...yes i do!!! GOOD! but alas nothing to be done.
So this last and current illness strike sent Lukie to the ER. Bless my wonderful hubby's heart. last night after a full day/night of work he came home and took our 9 month old to the ER at 3AM. He was in the house just long enough to change his clothes , give him a blessing and scoop up our little wheezer! This poor little boy is defiantly a 'shea'. mom says we spent many a night with our heads in a steamy shower. which is exactly what i did with lukie for most of the night last night! So being sick myself...inhaler/ cough medicine dependent for DAYS it made me feel better but wasn't seeming to help the little dude. so i sent a few frantic texts to Matthew and my mom of our impending trip to the ER and sat and cried. Isn't it awful when you cant do anything? i tried everything in my power to make this little guy comfortable and everything i did failed. i began to drive myself batty after a while, thinking of the worst case scenario and praying so hard i am sure Heavenly Father was like...UM OK ALREADY! So 5 am rolled around and with 2 hours of sleep under my belt i sprung up when i heard the garage door open. i ran to the living room to find a very tired hubby and a very shaky lukie ,they gave him 2 breathing treatments and some steroids. if you have ever had to use an inhaler or had a breathing treatment it totally makes you shake like you are having withdrawals. So we tucked everyone back in bed and was up again at 7!

He is much better today, still very sick, but better. Matthew said he knew he was really sick when he wouldn't flirt with the girl at the ER. and for those of you that know ookie you will know that he will smile at anyone (you cant hold him , but he will sure smile and wave at ya). He is sleeping and breathing clear for now, we pray it lasts through the night!
-thanks mom for coming and letting me sleep. I REALLY needed it!
I am sure we will be on round 2 of Croup with Brayden shortly. So don't expect to see us out and about for another week or so!
just because i need too... um hey Matthew what was the doctors instruction about the humidifier??? huh, huh??? Yeah i am not co-dependent on the humidifier, thank you very much!
Oh, went to target to fill lukes RX and BT asked if he could get some sunglasses...really is that what you are thinking about at 3?? that you need sunglasses? he is so his daddy! so we head over to the sunglasses and please dont think i am over exagurating when i say we tried ALL of them on. he finally decided on the transformer ones but mommy couldnt do it...they where stupid looking. so i talked him into the hot wheels ones...

Oh Ash, I'm so sorry to hear about the last few miserable days. I'm sure Matt doesn't remember but I spent many an all nighter by myself at the ER in Panorama City with Matt. It was a challenge but we do make it through. Extra love & hugs to all of you. xo
