One of those days

Today was one of those days where it just sucked haha for lack of better words. Jaden woke up with a cough from hell and nothing I did helped. So I took him to the ER ( big mistake) and sat for six hours just for them to say he has croup and to give him a steroid shot. Wow something that could of taken 15 minutes was six freaking hours, so mad and wish I would of just went to urgent care but whatever. Luckily my dad stayed with Eli so that part of the day was good. However, Eli is getting 3 or 4 top teeth so he is hurting bad right now and miserable (thankfully he was happy for my dad).

On top of all that Jaden is not grasping going #2 in the toilet so I end up cleaning gross poop up all over the bathroom and him. Oh and his throw up from when his cough was at it's worst. I realize all this is part of being a mom so I try not to complain too much. But had to vent that today was just one of those days that I am happy it's over!

Unknown said...: I feel for you. Seriously. Croup is the worst. You may want to ask your doctor for a nebulizer- it helps a TON. It's a breathing machine with a mask that they wear for a few minutes off and on and it really helps them breathe better. We have one that we've pulled out a few times (once when T had croup). I hope he gets better very soon! And Jaden still has plenty of time to be fully potty-trained, so try not to worry too much about that. Talmage is 3 1/2 and still can't go through the night completely dry. It's one of those things you just gotta keep coming back to over and over again before they finally get it :) Anyway, wow long comment. You are a GREAT mom and I'm hoping things get better fast for you! love you!; October 13, 2013 at 8:16 AM

*How We Met*

Josh and I had both been up to BYU-Idaho for our first time in January 2007, but NEVER MET each other while we were there which was weird since you usually know everyone in such a small town like Rexburg. Anyways we both came home in July after our school year was over and got a job. This is where the magic started at a company called Magellan Health Services. It was a brand new company so we all had to go through training, and on our first day of training we had to go around the room and say are names and a little about ourselves. So I stood up first said my name and that I was going to school at BYU-Idaho and I was going back in January. It then came around to Josh's turn and he said his name and that he went to BYU-Idaho too and he was going back in January too. We looked at each other and it was from that point on we were inseparable.
