A Week in Review

All three of my kids have been or are currently in Early Intervention.  I will tell you right now it is total HELL, but it is so good for the kids.  Trying to coordinate therapy sessions for my almost 3 year old now has been a nightmare.  He receives speech 2 times a week, developmental therapy, occupational therapy and vision therapy.  We are currently working on a PT evaluation before he ages out on May 3rd.  

This week we had evaluations for Connor for school at our school district and we got NOTHING accomplished so they are coming to my house next Tuesday to finish their evaluations.  He clung to my leg and cried for almost the entire time which was 2 hours.  I also have Connor scheduled for the ENT and Neurologist next week.  This should be fun running all the kids everywhere while dealing with Pat and his stuff.  Thank God my Mom is still here to help me.  

Pat was in the hospital last week due to diverticulitis and then contracted pneumonia while he was in the hospital also.  So the 4 days that he was there Monday through Thursday I was running my butt off going back and forth and dealing with the kids.  Trying to get Hayley to school and get back for Connor’s therapy everyday.  My Mom finally got here Wednesday afternoon and Pat then came home from the hospital early Thursday evening.  

Friday afternoon I had to go pick up Johna from Earthy Bliss since she was coming in on business for the weekend and we spent most of the weekend together.  Having mommy time and being out of the house for basically 4 days was wonderful but also extremely exhausting!  Friday I drove her up to

Elgin to meet with Alyssa from The Mommy Dialogues.  She stayed with Alyssa Friday night and then I met up with them Saturday afternoon in Chicago for the MommyCon playdate.  Saturday evening we went to dinner with Ruth from Zerberts a local babywearing retailer and Caryn a dear friend of ours.  We had so much fun at PF Changs.  A nice child free dinner with no screaming is just what the Dr. ordered.  LOL.  Johna and I didn’t get home from dinner until almost Midnight and we still had stuff to get ready for the Sunday event at MommyCon.  I finally went to bed around 3am and had to be up at 5:30am and leave the house by 6:30 to be downtown at MommyCon at 7:30am.  UGH what a long freaking weekend but damn did I have a blast.  Johna and I got home around 7pm Sunday evening from MommyCon and I swear we were so tired and strung out on caffeine that we didn't go to bed until after 10 that night.

Monday morning came and I had to go wake Johna up to go visit Ruth and play with all her pretty little things.  Yes and what I mean by pretty little things I mean her room is like a babywearing playground!  I just wanted to get everything out and roll in it.  I love rolling in all the fluff all the time.
