The non-existent plan

You know those days, where if you had a plan nothing would go to it? Today has been the epitome of one of those days. And I KNOW there are going to be days like this and there have been. Just today is worth documenting (also known as complaining or venting). So, Ryan wasn't feeling well last night. He was up until 6am. The whole pacifier vs. me thing is not working out well but we can get to that in a minute. Charley had two accidents, out of blue. Fine, whatever, it happens. Before I could get breakfast started, he broke the ONLY egg we had left in the house. I had planned pancakes but without that ONE last egg, I couldn't make them. While I was cleaning up the egg, he decided to pick up his potty. The apparently had not been cleaned out...urine...ALL OVER the place and on him. Seriously, had not even got breakfast started. But that's okay...we all ate, I got dinner in the crockpot, I did the dishes, started the laundry, picked up 75% of the house. I'm on a roll. There are a couple of things that happened over the past couple of weeks. Ryan has had a bad string of luck. He ended up in the ER at 7 in the morning on a saturday. He was there all day. He needs to have his gallbladder out. He still has not made an appointment with the surgeon. He was also clearing the vines off the back fence and got poison ivy. He waited two weeks before going to the doctor so he was covered. He got a shot and a couple of prescriptions.

Pacifiers. Now I know most people use pacifiers. I have nothing against pacifiers, I just prefer not to use them. With Charley, he just didn't need one. Izyk didn't need one until we decided to bring one with us to California for the plane ride. Like I said in a previous post, he was having trouble sleeping. We continued with the pacifier but only at bedtime. Since then, he does not sleep continuously through the night anymore. He used to but no longer does. You can tell when he has those nights that he wakes up a lot. 30% of the time, he doesn't wake up at all during the night but the other 70% he does and he does A LOT.

On a happier note, Izyk loves food and is rolling over. That is his preferred method of transportation. He sits up great for minutes at a time. He loves his older brother. Charley is doing great with pottying...minus the two accidents today. Ryan starts coaching soccer this week at the YMCA. He's coaching 5-6 year olds. Should be fun.
