So tired

Well it's day 6 of munchkin being sick. Again. Yep, again. He is almost 15 months which means he has been sick at least 10 times in his short life. It is so frustrating for so many reasons.

For one thing, I can always see it coming. He does great when we are home. Eats well. Sleeps well. And then we go out if town where he doesn't eat and definitely doesn't sleep. He even battles naps. So he gets run down and then like clockwork gets sick Monday night. And then for two weeks, he barely eats and barely sleeps.

The three times in brigz's life that we have been home for over three weeks straight are the spans that he has started eating the best, sleeping the best, and no sickness. It is no wonder we can't get weight on the poor kid.

The last sickness was in august an it was a bad one. This time, he isn't that sick, but holy cow, I have seen a new side to him. He definitely inherited a temper from his daddy. He has a stuffy nose and he gets so mad at his nose! He throws things, yells, and even shoves his finger in his nose in anger!! Which i totally dont understand! The madder he gets, the more he cries, which means more tears and boogers. It is so sad.

Basically, I am frustrated that we can't get a hold on his health and so mentally and physically exhausted from little sleep and all the crazy demands of a sick 15 month old. It is so hard to watch him get so mad an not be able to help him. The world will be a better place when he can blow his nose.

The topic of church today was prayer. Something our family has been majorly slacking on and boy does it show in our life. Everything Corey has been touching lately breaks. So his relaxing weekends have turned into work, work, work. He has a major to-do list (made by himself, not me) that he finally put a dent in this weekend but took many "go back two spaces" and "do not pass go"s. We realize how things like this happen when God has been put on the back burner. We need to step it up and give out glory and praise to him. If it doesn't make our duties easier, it sure betters our attitudes!

So in the spirit of our lesson today, say some prayers for the Bells that we get our game-face on for God and that we have a turn around in health and blessings. I think we are all four (including Bella who feels super neglected) on the verge of nervous breakdowns!!! Not seriously, but maybe... Haha.

Here is munchkinater today after rubbing his yogurt in his hair!

New

So I'm finally gonna make the big step and change my hair. I have never had my hair a different way than when I cut it to my shoulders in kindergarten. Besides the occasional crazy color streak, I have always been a blondie. Since my hair is getting darker and darker, sigh, as im getting older, and life is getting busier and busier, I'm tired of bleach as often as I have to do it. So I'm finally gonna go for the look I have been wanting since this video:

Daddy's boy

Its official. Corey is #1 in brigz's book. For the past week, when Corey is about to get home, Brigz starts looking for him and calls for him thru the house. When he gets home, brigz wants absolutely nothing to do with anyone or anything except his daddy. He also has become very stingy with his kisses and hugs- except for Corey. When Corey leaves the room, brigz tries to find him. When Corey gets in the shower, brigz stands outside the door and bangs on the door and cries his eyes out. Today at church, we dropped him off at the child care. Usually he doesn't even notice that we are gone. Today, he had a complete melt down and was screaming for his "Dada". It is adorable and it makes Corey feel so special. I had to have a talk with them, though, about not leaving me out! :)
