A real quick update

Sorry I have not been a good blogger lately but I have been super busy! Besides watching the newborn during the day, I also started watching an almost 2 year old who may or may not be autistic. The reason I say that is because he does all the things they do & he has a therapist who comes to work with him a few days a week. Of course the parents have not said anything to me but there is obviously something "wrong" with him.

Dealing with him & all his little quirks makes for an interesting day! Add to that all the issues the newborn has & it makes for 1 very stressful day!!! It is especially fun with they are both crying for me, lol

Oh yeah & I still watch Baby J & Gabby in the evenings. This week will be especially long for me because their dad is working up north & will not be able to pick them up at 6pm like normal. I will be lucky if he comes at 9pm! Lucky me, LOL

Other than that I have just been really busy with school. My real estate law class is already kicking my butt! I have a paper due every week & lots of contracts to write. Legal writing is actually really easy but it is just time consuming finding relevant cases, briefing them & then applying it to whatever paper I am writing.

Since I am so busy during the week babysitting I try to get all my homework done on the weekend and any other time I can squeeze a few minutes of work in. Monday's usually are a good day for me because I do not have the 2 year old so I can work while the newborn sleeps. IF she sleep, lol

But it is hard on my kids when I am always busy doing homework so I try to take time each day to spend with them. Lately our time together had been playing with the wii. We recently got the wii fit & it is so much fun! It is cool to track your progress and see what you need to improve on. The really interesting part is it weighs you & adjusts your character on that information. Of course mine went from looking all cute to a weeble shape. But hey I might wobble but I won't fall down, LMAO. Aidyn's guy looks really funny because he is super skinny & and his BMI shows he is underweight. Well of course we all knew that! The kid cannot seem to gain weight & trust me he eats all the time! He literally goes through at least one box of breakfast bars a week, a big package of cheese sticks, box of gogurt, at least 1 bunch of bananas, and TONS of cereal. That is not even including all the regular meals he eats. I even tried adding those instant breakfast shakes to his milk all the time so he will get more calories but it did not have an effect on him. Oh well his doctor knows he is underweight & is not concerned yet. However if he does not weight 50lbs (as of yesterday he only weights 45lbs & is 4 foot 1) by the summer, I will have to start him on a special high calorie supplement.

Today will be extra fun for me because both of my kids are sick! To top that, the baby also has a bad cold and is very congested. It's not like she is easy to watch either because she has a ton of stomach & digestion problems and throws up most of her bottles. My days are spent feeding her, cleaning her up, changing her clothes, most likely changing mine and trying to keep her happy & comfortable. Thank goodness for the baby swing because that makes her happy as well as any kind of music. Too bad the best music toy I have just happens to be the 2 year old favorite, lol

Alrighty enough rambling from me. I need to go call the school to excuse the kids & then go check on them. They both have sore throats, are coughing & have stomach aches. My good friend Shanna's kids & Kristles all have the stomach bug & Paul brought home a bad cold. Maybe I will be fortunate enough that they get both illnesses at once so I can be done with it. But until then I think I need to stock up on Motrin, tissues, and Lysol lol
