Being a stay-at-home mom = busy

I just realized that I haven't posted anything on here in a really long time. I wouldn't be surprised if no one even checked here anymore lol.

I decided to post something since I can't sleep because of the pressure my sinuses have been placing on my ears anyway. I went to the Dr. yesterday because I was very dizzy and couldn't catch my balance, I literally fell off the couch trying to get up and ran into a couple of walls/doors. It was so bad that the spinning made my stomach queasy and the only way to alleviate the symptoms was to lie down, which then made my ears hurt. But didn't get much answers from the Dr. really, told me to take sinus meds, which I was, and gave me prescription for dizziness. Haven't gotten it filled yet cuz the dizziness got better and he said it would make me groggy and I didn't want to be groggy while around the kids.

Josh is taking Chemistry and Anatomy/Physiology I this semester to fullfill his nursing requirements. Lets just say Anatomy is super tough, lol...I already knew it was hard but I was looking over the stuff with him and I was like...Huh? Is this seriously in English? It doesn't really help that sciences aren't my strong areas. But Josh's days are full of school and work which leaves me at home with the kids by myself, a lot. I don't get out much either, especially with this weather. There have been weeks where I haven't seen the sun.

New updates on kids:
Harry is cruising around the furniture. Also doesn't like Oscar from Seasame Street, he makes him cry lol. Harry has 8 teeth and is eating solid foods like a champ. He loves his 3rd food and table scraps. He also loves his puffs. He enjoys following around Will but also doing his own thing. Mommy is still his favorite person I am happy to say, lol.
Will is talking a lot. He is saying things like "You okay?" when someone hurts themselves and "here you go baby," when he gives harrison a toy. Also says "puppy cute" and "mommy's...(fill in blank) or daddy's (fill in blank) or my ....or harwee's..." Refers to things are "mine" and talks about the potty and poop and pee but doesn't get the concept yet. He loves puppies, Elmo, Pooh, Trucks,Bob the Builder and most all, his daddy. He is a good listener and takes instructions well. he will throw away things for me, get me diaper, wipes and will take empty bottles to the kitchen for me if I ask. He can take off his clothes but not put them on, although he tried with a shirt but it didn't turn out so well.

Anyway, I'm going to go relax for awhile before going to bed. It has been a long day. Although, the days used to be longer when Harry was littler. Thank God they don't get any younger!

An update...finally :D

So I have finally sat down to post some updates.

Harrison is almost 8 months already! Woohoo. Love it. The kids are sleeping in the same room, taking naps at the same time. they love being roommates. You can hear them in the mornings talking to each other and giggling.

Will can jump up with both feet and is talking in sentences. We tried potty training and he wasn't quite ready yet so we will try in a few months. He loves elmo, winnie the pooh, and mickey. He also likes to listen to taylor swift and dance. Daddy is still is favorite person of all time and when daddy is work he talks about how he took the car and went to work. One of his favorite foods is pretzels.

Harrison is crawling on hands and knees and can go from crawling to sitting up by himself. He can pull himself up on the furniture and even tried to take a few steps between furniture today (but he couldn't quite get his feet to move the way he wanted.) He likes to chase balls around the house and play with the trucks that he can wrangle from will. he also loves elmo but is scared of cookie monster. Harrison has started eating puffs and can't get enough of them. he takes a large handful and shoves them in his mouth. when we pick him up from the highchair, they are stuck to his butt, shirt, and the seat. After he gets down, he leaves a trail of puffs behind him.

Josh is applying to nursing school. he is going to the university center in sioux falls, which consists of all of the state universities. He is technically attending the university of south dakota. He will be taking chemistry and anatomy/phys this upcoming semester. He is also applying to be a sub and he would like to do that mon wed fri and work at the flying J on saturdays.

And I am just happy to finally be getting sleep and a little time to myself! Life isn't so bad right now. The kids are good and hopefully Josh will be accepted to nursing school soon.

Well, that's what I have for updates now.
