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

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! ...

Show and Tell Tuesday: School Photos

Happy Tuesday! Today I am joining Andrea for Show and Tell Tuesday's and today we are showing Worst School Pictures! I have a combination of good and bad school pictures just to mix it up a little bit!  Little baby Cat right before Pre-K!  Back in 2005, I was in middle school and going through a short hair and converse phase where I wore a lot of black and tried to fit in with a certain group of people! I was such a goof And Throwing it back to 2004! Aren't I just cute?!  Senior Year of High School  Senior Year pictures! I had ridiculously long hair that didn't like to cooperate for pictures! Then I chopped all of my hair off before going off to college Kept it short second year of college And finally grew it out and even colored it, I was in a rebellious stage it seemed! Those are my worst and best school pictures! I don't have too many pictures from my school days just because everything was thrown away when I lef...

Life Lately!

Happy Monday! Its a little life lately post to catch up on our past week! I started back to school for my Masters, Scott started his senior year of undergrad and life has gone crazy!  This little is working on sitting up, and finding all of his toys that he didn't know he had until he became mobile. He isn't crawling but he is really good at rolling himself around the place!  With sister in school all day these two are becoming best friends! I'll catch Skyler pulling R's hair, but I will also catch them laughing and playing and reading together! It's the sweetest little bond!  He enjoyed rolling himself underneath his crib a lot, all while I was sitting in the room with him! He loves to explore, even when it means momma has to rescue him from under the bed :P Afternoon cartons, goldfish and playing with toys We have been reading lots of books lately, we are going to the library this week to get some books but Ri has enjoyed reading wha...
