Cold and stress, not a good combination

It was way too cold today! We are down  with Scott again for a few days since I had to bring him down here. His truck is back in the shop and our original truck was brought back down from Charlotte NC, so we drove down Tuesday night and have been here since. I go back up on Saturday morning while Scott goes to a job and then he comes home for two days before heading up north. School work is hectic, baby is doing good, but has four new teeth! No wonder she has been so grumpy and clingy, she has been in some serious pain! Poor baby! 

Today we stayed inside all day! It is way too cold for baby to be out and about! I'm just glad we aren't back at home where its about 20 degrees colder than down here. It would be insane! We took Scott to the doctor after meeting some friends for dinner! He had his elbow drained again (when I say again, this is the third time). He fell off the back of the truck back in August and got pretty bruised and scratched up. Everything seemed to be healing normally until his elbow swelled up like a balloon. And when I mean balloon, I mean like huge and disgusting and weird feeling. Well he got it drained one day and they got it to go back to normal but the next day it was back to looking like normal. So two weeks later, he got it drained again. This time there was less fluid so we thought, okay maybe its getting better. This time they wrapped it after it was drained and it seemed to be doing great until 5 days later it was starting to swell again. The wrap wouldn't stay on at this point. Well, we went home for the holidays and tried not to worry too much about it. Well tonight after much waiting and much pain for my poor honey, we took him back. This time, it was drained as usual, but they pulled out more fluid than both the times before. YUCK! So now he might have to have it removed, we have to go see an orthopedic doctor and blah blah blah blah. At this point it is getting ridiculous and Scott just really wants his elbow back, and I don't blame him one bit. It's been a hectic few months since this process started, and at this point we are so ready for it to be done. Hopefully soon everything will get better! 

On another note, School is being a total pain about one of my classes. I'm enrolled in five classes, with only four of them the first eight weeks, and then another one replacing Sociology for the last eight weeks. Two of my classes are online, and two are at school. One of my classes is not even showing up for me online, which is odd because my other one is perfectly fine and working. I've talked with my professor, I've talked with the online administrator, and tomorrow I am actually calling the IT department and saying hey, what's up. It's been a frustrating few days and I'm already behind because they aren't fixing this problem. Anyways: Rant over haha.
We got Charlotte a babysitter. It was amazing, I was so stressed Monday after classes because it is my final semester of college and two of my classes I have to attend, and Charlotte's normal babysitter cannot watch her anymore so we had to get someone else. I filled out a job posting on a website and no sooner than I shut my laptop off for the night I had three replies. It was amazing! The next morning I emailed one of the candidates back and said let's meet at a coffee shop so you can interact with Charlotte, because if Charlotte doesn't like you then you aren't going to work out haha. (the second part I definitely did not email to her but with my little one, she lets you know if she likes you or not!) Anyways, so we met this girl and Charlotte loves her so we are starting next week to see how she does! I'm nervous but happy because that takes a lot of stress off of my plate! 

Off to do some more homework before turning in for the night. Gotta get munchkin to bed!
Hope everyone had a great day today!

XOXO

Some much needed family fun!

It's been a bit hectic the last few days! We got up and went to church Sunday morning for the first time at a new church. The pastor was so funny and made a new church less scary for me! Then Charlotte went to Mimi's for a few hours and Scott and I ran a few errands, cleaned out the truck, and went to the pool hall to play a few rounds before going to get her. I don't know what it is about the pool hall but it always is a place we enjoy going, without baby of course! After we picked Charlotte up, we went home and relaxed for a few hours and watched tv and played COD:ghosts!( Another one of our couple things) Then I packed a bag for Charlotte, did Scott's laundry, and cleaned up the house. Finally I packed my bag. Why am I packing bags and cleaning up the house you ask? Well, Charlotte and I are with Scott this week going to Florida. We are going down to the gulf coast for a little sun, surf, and family time, and Scott has to work a day down there as well! Then we ar

Happy Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day to all! It's been a wonderful family weekend! Unfortunately our Memorial Day ended early, since Scott is now headed to work. He has to be in Miami, 7 am tomorrow! Yuck. Luckily Monday is almost over and we only have to make it until Friday until we see him again! Trying to stay positive and look at it as a good thing, not a bad. It is hard to see him leave, but I know he has to go to work. Charlotte was sad but luckily nap time was soon after he left so she transitioned into sleep fine. She will be upset when she gets up in a few but lots of cuddles, cartoons and playing until bed time will keep her preoccupied. We are headed to the beach this weekend, and then staying down there for the week while Scott works, but we will all be together and Mommy and Charlotte will be looking at houses while Daddy works so we will stay occupied with that and lots of pool time! Cannot wait until this week is over. May is almost over, then June is here! Cannot believe that!

Weekend Recap: This Weekend Edition

Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone had a good Monday! We certainly did! We did not run around like crazy people and got Charlotte's big birthday gift from Momma and Daddy yesterday so all is on track for our princess turning 3 on Sunday! This past weekend started out slow with playing with all of our toys and stuffed animals  and taking lots of naps on the momma Saturday was spent cleaning, taking out the garbage to the dump and buying groceries. So Saturday we spent just getting ready for the week and taking care of everything we needed to get done for a busy week that we are currently in. We also took one more day of rest to recuperate from the stomach bug and allergies that made the rounds through our house.  Sunday we got out of the house because it was not too hot and not too chilly and it wasn't raining so it was the perfect day to go to the flea market.  The babies are watching a show which is why they are not looking at the camera, and we were sitt
