Shortly after we both drifted off to sleep, I heard Mason calling my name. I then realized it was only 1:30am in the morning. I went in his room to check on him and ended up falling asleep in his bed. The boy is a great sleeper, but I really think he is going thru a spell where he is having bad dreams and wakes up very upset. It is so hard to get him back to sleep after one of these dreams. Hopefully, it is only a phase.
Friday morning came all too soon, but I was eager for the day. Adam had been telling me that he had a surprise planned for me and I would learn what it was that day. I love surprises and it is very hard to surprise me. As I made breakfast that morning, I got a call from Adam letting me know that my surprise wasn't going to happen that weekend and that everyone involved agreed it was best to let me know what it was.
My parents and Adam had been talking for a long time and planned on surprising me with a visit from them that weekend. It would be the first time I would get to meet Kris. However, Kris woke up with a really high temperature that morning and complaining he wasn't feeling too well. After a quick doctor's visit that morning, they discovered he had Strep Throat. The trip was off.
I completely understood that it was no one's fault and felt bad for Kris. I knew he would be very disappointed, as was I. I honestly felt like knowing the plans made it worse for me, at least at that moment.
I could barely talk on the phone to either Adam or my mom, I was that upset. The gesture was so sweet and exactly what I needed. Not being with our family for Thanksgiving or Christmas this year was extremely hard for me and I never want to do that again. So needless to say, Friday was a rough day for me. I took out all of my frustration by cleaning and reorganizing our entire house.
After waking up Saturday morning, I tried my very best not to dwell on the disappointment and wanted to make the best of the rest of the weekend. We spent the day relaxing and hanging out at the house. Taylor still didn't feel that great, and I didn't feel comfortable taking her out.
We stayed home from church on Sunday. I didn't want to take Taylor to the nursery with a cold, so Adam stayed home with the kids, while I did the grocery shopping. I was able to go to 4 stores in an hour and a half. It's amazing what you can do when you don't have any kids with you. I had to get my run in, because it was supposed to rain that afternoon.
Can I just say that it hardly ever rains in Bakersfield. This week we have had a 100 percent chance of rain every day, along with 30-40 mph winds. However, rain here is nothing like it is down in Texas. In the past two years that we have lived here, not once have I seen lightening or heard thunder. The month of January is always gloomy here. Fog, occasional rain, and more fog describe this month perfectly. The rest of the year, sunny without a cloud in the sky.
This week, I designated to start potty training Mason. He has shown signs that he is ready and I thought I would give it a go. He only had four accidents and actually went pee in the potty. I was so proud of him and impressed that it wasn't worse, since he was constantly drinking something all day. I took pictures, but I don't think Mason would appreciate me posting them.
When I woke up yesterday, I could barely move. My head was pounding and I was very dizzy. I went in Mason's room and thought I was going to be sick. Great timing. There was no way I was going to attempt the second day of potty training feeling like this. Too bad mom's don't get sick leave.
Adam is working on a new project, which allows him to be in Bakersfield all week. The down side is he leaves for work at 6am and doesn't get home until 8:30pm. By the time he walks in the door, I'm tucking Mason into bed and he gets to say goodnight to him before he drifts off to sleep. I woke up this morning feeling a little better, and hopefully by tomorrow I will be a 100 percent again.
