What A Week!

It's been a week full of sickness for me. The week started off with me getting a cold.. Talk about a terrible birthday gift right?! Like turning 25 wasn't bad enough I had to top it off with a cold. Well, I beat the cold. Then I got hit with a bad case of allergies. Then I ended up having to seek medical attention for severe nosebleeds.

The nosebleeds were the worst. They lasted for 6 hours almost constantly. I ended up going to the doctor and finding out that my iron levels are at an all time low. Two shots of iron in my backside later and I'm home rest. I've been ordered to start taking Iron supplements again and eat a ton of iron-rich foods.

Today I have another busy day. I'm heading out soon to get my haircut and then to get my nails done. I need to go grocery shopping and go to the post office.

I'm looking forward to relaxing this evening with my family.

The Hunger Games

Have you read the series? If not, I suggest you do.

My bestfriend convinced me to read the books and I have to say, I'm glad I did!!! Oh. My. GOSH! Honestly, there are so many twists and turns. You cry, and you laugh and you get angry. Most of that is because of Peeta. Oh, Peeta.

I saw the movie last week or the week before and it was simply amazing. It was really similar to the book and just amazing. They really brought the story to life. I can't wait for Catching fire to be out next year.

There's always one book out of a series you love the most, but I can't decide which one is the best. They're all awesome for their own reasons. Mockingjay was the craziest one though. Lots of twists. Just awesome. I think the movies will be great. How can they not be with Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth. I can't wait to see more Gale(Liam Hemsworth) in the next movie.

Thank you Suzanne Collins, for the most amazing book series ever written.

Friday Thoughts

If I was to talk today, it would just come out in a rant that could get my husband in trouble at work. Let's just say I'm not happy with the military right now.

I'm going to leave you with on a happy note for the weekend.

I saw this on Facebook and thought it was wonderful.

From Bad To Great

Today I woke up feel like crap. I wanted to stay in bed. The day actually turned out pretty good.

First, I woke up to find my place almost spotless. Yes, my husband cleaned for me! That probably saved me an hour or so. Then I got a call from the development specialist saying that they are moving up our appointment from June 13th to May 30th.

Then we took Dechlan to school and went to pick up my parcel from my mom. Like always, it was full of awesome stuff.

We picked up Dechlan and found that our boy is starting to speak better. He came home asking for things in a full proper sentence. He wanted to colour and he said 'Can I please colour, Mommy?' instead of 'I colour please?' School is doing wonders for him. They're really helping him. The teacher says that he has a special chair just for him that has a little cupholder that he keeps a squishy balls in that helps him concentrate during class. I'm really thankful for the special needs assistant and his teacher. They've really helped him. I couldn't be happier!

Dechlan has his first school concert next Friday. I'm so excited! Nick is probably going to take the day off to see it. I'm going to record it as well! My baby is growing up.

Today started out awful and turned into a wonderful day. Now I'm off to make dinner.

Back To Routine

Nick is back to work today from 10 days off. After being able to sleep in until 9am for almost 2 weeks, I had a really hard time getting up this morning. I'm used to getting up early with Dechlan but today getting up at 7:30 was so hard!

Now that Nick is back to work, we have to get back into routine. It's going to be a little different since Dechlan will be in school too. Today will be slightly busy for me since I have a ton of laundry to do and cleaning. After I drop Dechlan off at school, I'm meeting my mother in law to go furniture shopping.

What are your plans for the day?

Netflix

We got Netflix this week and I must say, it's great!! There are so many shows for Dechlan. I really like it.

Nick and I have been enjoying catching up on shows we like. We have yet to watch movies on Netflix. I think we'll do that tonight.

We're child free tonight :)

Today is his first day. No tears from anyone. It's a wonderful day.

Here are some pictures.

Busy Day!

It's 10pm and I'm completely exhausted. We did a lot of running around today. We went to register Dechlan in school and then dropped him off at Nicks parents house. We got to see a movie today. We saw 21 jump street. It was possibly the funniest movie I have ever seen. I'm simply in love with Channing Tatum. He's hilarious.

After the movie we picked up Dechlan, headed to get some dinner. We had to get some shopping done. By the time we got home it was 6pm and I was completely knackered.

Dechlan is in bed and I'm getting ready for bed.. Tomorrow is a big day. Something very special is happening tomorrow. I will post about it tomorrow afternoon. Pictures will be included.

Good Night

My Poor Baby

Last Tuesday he had to get vaccinations done at the doctor. Usually it isn't a problem. He gets a bit groggy the next day but that's it. He was sleeping so much during the day which is rare. He hasn't napped in a year or so. But he was sleeping for 3 hours every day.

Friday evening he started crying and telling us that his arm hurt and lifted his shirt to reveal a HUGE red patch that was hot and swollen. I ended up calling Ontario Telehealth and they said we had to take him to a doctor within 24 hours. We found a walk in clinic and took him in ASAP. Turns out his poor little arm got infected. Nick and I suspected that the doctor didn't swab his second arm before giving him his shot.

The red spot is almost gone thanks to anti-biotics. D he's being a champ, but he still feel a bit crappy. Thankfully he doesn't need anymore shots until he's 12 years old.

Ahead Of Schedule

I took a small break from reading. I'm back at reading and finished two book in March. I'm still ahead of schedule on my Goodreads book challenge. I have read 10 books this year. My goal is 30 books in 12 months. I'm making great progress.

I'm currently reading The Hunger Games. Next book will be The Vampire Diaries 2 in 1 book. It has the 3rd and 4th books in the series. I'm loving the series so far.

What are you reading?
