Sorry Memory

So to answer Memory's question. What did I get for my birthday. I got the new God of War 2 playstation game. I know none of you would like it but you all would be amazed at the graffics on this thing. It is stunning and just amazing! Oh yeah and I got a new purse. Susan got me a military type game. hehehehe she knows me well! So there you go Mem, that is what I got.

Birthday fun/and sickness

Well the last few days have not been to fun for me. As most people know I have a kidney infection. My back is in so much pain because of it that most of the time it hurts just to breath. The antibiotics are just killing me. They make my stomach feel like something is sitting there twisting it in opposite directions. I unfortunatly believe that I am going to have to get on the medication more than a week. I am not looking forward to that if that be the case. My temp is getting dangerously close to having to go to the hospital. I have to give Mark hourly updates because he is so worried. I have to go to the hospital if it reaches 100 degrees. I just checked it and it was at 99.6 degrees. It is just sitting there trying to tease me.
To make me feel worse I feel just aweful watching kids when I am like this. I'm in so much pain and so sick from the medication that I have no patience for most of their challenges. I would seriously like to go find a very dark quiet cave where I can crawl into a little ball and escape reality until I feel better. Not going to happen but it is such a lovely thought.
So anyway on a happier note. Dad, Mark said you would be so proud of him for what he did yesterday. So the boys came home from camping. Got everything put away and we decided to go out to dinner for my birthday. Mark suggested the Roadhouse. I was craving cow so sounded great to me. But I knew he was up to something because of the look on his face but for the life of me I couldn't figure it out. So we get there, and those to boys of mine were sitting there wispering to each other. So when our waitress comes up to ask if we want dessert or anything Jacob bursts out that it is my birthday. Than it hit me where we were and what they do to you. They get all of the waiters and waitresses, put a toilet seat cover around your neck and a coffee filter on your head, they yell for everyones attention in the resturant and than sing to you. So embarrassing. Granted it didn't beat the Who song and Larry's on, but I don't think anything could do that. Mark was so proud of himself and Jacob was so excited that he got to be a part of it and embarress me. Although he was scared that he wouldn't get his surprise that I got him while he was gone camping. Silly boy. All in all, a nice birthday. Didn't do much except for go a few places with Susan when she came over and dinner. That was it. The rest of the time I was lazy because I didn't want to move and bring pain to me.
So all be proud of Mark that he got me. We had gone there a few months ago and it was someones birthday. He at that time threatened to take me there for it and I totally forgot. I don't think I will be doing that one again.

What a day

Wow talk about hot out. Although it wasn't to bad if you weren't out in it. I took Jacob to the park today because he wanted to go play baseball. Of course we silly little ones went at the top heat of the day. Smart move I tell you. We both could only stand to play for about half an hour. I don't know what he was complaining about. I was the one having to go retreive his balls when he hit them a long way. It amazes me how great he is at baseball. With a little help and discipline he would make a great one. He can hit those balls so far. His only down fall is getting frusterated after missing a couple hits. I really hope he plays in school when he gets older. I think it would be a great outlet for him.
Yesterday he fell off of his Razor and took all the skin off of his knee. Today he fell off of his skateboard and took all the skin off of his elbow. He bruised it pretty badly too. It is still swollen and icky looking. I told him I am going to have to get a membership with the local hospital so everytime he hurts himself he can just go have new skin made for whatever he hurt. He thought that was funny and made him stop crying.
Camping is more than likely going to be canceled for the weekend. It is suppose to rain, which the last time they went it ended up raining and wasn't fun for either one of them. That is alright. Susan said she would watch him so we can go out to dinner or something. Very nice of Susan. THANK YOU! I already got my birthday presants. :) Silly me couldn't wait for them. Sometimes I have no patience.
So in short today was a good day with Jacob. We had fun, did lots of fun stuff and only had 2 meltdowns. It was the best we have had so far and it has only been 4 days since we picked him up. Today helped my blood pressure level go down. Very good for me.
So now I am going to go play my birthday presant.

Jacob's hair

Mark is very proud of the job he did on Jacob's hair. I just found the picture so I thought I would share it. I don't like it than again I don't like mohawks on anyone children more so. I have to admit one this, that kid has a great shaped head! One of the pictures is with Jacob and his first fish. He caught it, and wasn't happy that it was to small and he had to throw it back. But he was pretty proud of himself that he caught it all on his own.

Day after Father's Day

Well it is the beginning of the summer. Which means we have Jacob. Yeah! We barely got through yesterday in tact. Unfortunatly Daddies day was pretty much ruined within the first couple hours of being up. Some of it was salvaged. We went over to Mark's brother's house to have dinner and play games with his dad, stepmom, and grandparents. His father had to come back to town to have some more tests run from when he had something wrong with his spinal cord. In the end we had a very good time there and Jacob did very well. We were pleased.
I am getting them ready to go camping this weekend so I can have a quiet birthday weekend. Well some what quiet since I am going to go out with Susan. It should be nice though. I am looking forward to it. The summers are very difficult with all the changing and everything Jacob has to go through. Never a fun thing for any of us.
We are planning on a family outing the weekend before the 4th of July. We are hoping it will give him something to look farward to.
Well I have to get dinner going and feed mister hungry. I will have to take pictures on our family outing and get them on here for everyone.
