Snowstorms

Well we're catching up on a few days here now. Thursday was a busy day for Jane and I. We went out to DOR and visited all my old friends that I used to work with. It was really nice to see everyone and I really did miss all the people but I was certainly happy to be there only as a visitor and not as an employee. After a brief visit with everyone, Jane, Michelle, Toni and I went to get some lunch at Keys. Jane did really well part of the time sitting in her bumbo seat and me holding her part of the time. Of course we couldn't have it that easy though so as were getting ready to leave I decide to change Jane before the long drive home and she of course had crapped up the back of her shirt. So had to change everything right there in the public bathroom. It was great to see everyone and visit and I even got a goodbye card with some very nice words and a $35 gift certificate to Target.
Friday, Rachel came down and Joe had the day off. I started the day by going to body pump and getting a nice little workout in. Then we just hung around the house and I cleaned while Joe and Jane did some playing. Rachel and Alyssa got here around 5 and Joe and I headed over to his mom and dads for Paul's going away/Sarah's birthday party. We had a good time drinking a couple beers and eating homemade pizza. We also spent some time looking through old family pictures and after seeing little Joey when he was a baby I am even more certain that Jane looks EXACTLY like him. The rest of the pics were so cute, I am pretty sure Joe might have been one of the cutest little boys I have ever seen so if Joe does look like him (aside from she will be more girly) I have decided that she will be pretty dang cute! We came home around 10 after getting a call from Rachel that my child was still awake. She NEVER sleeps that badly so of course we came home to put her to bed. As we were getting home of course I was rushing and slipped on the damn ice and hurt my tailbone and elbow pretty bad. Man I hate winter and snow and ice.
Saturday Joe was working so the ladies decided to hang out. After getting ourselves ready Rachel, Alyssa, Jane and I went over to moms and headed to Longfellow grill for some lunch. Jane was a pretty sleepy girl but did pretty good. After lunch Alyssa stayed with Grandma and Rachel and I came home. We played with Jane and hung around for a little while. Joe got home around 7:30 from work and Rachel and I headed to Mama Maria's for dinner with her friends. It was a good time but a little  late for dinner for me so I was close to ready for bed when we got home. I know I am a little lame but maybe once Jane is sleeping through the night I will have a life again?

That brings me to Sunday. I wake up at about 5:30am to my hubby running to the bathroom. Now he is not one to get sick very easily so at first I didn't think anything of it. After the 3rd trip to the bathroom I started wondering what the heck is wrong. Sure enough he has been in bed or in the bathroom all day throwing up and feeling terrible. So looks like the flu might have hit our house. I knew it would happen eventually because within the last 2 weeks the Fohrenkamm's have all been pretty sick. Jane has been a little fussy today, but she is now napping, Joe ate a little soup and I am watching a little TV. Oh yeah and I signed up for Weight Watchers today. I know I don't have a ton to lose and also I am breast feeding but I really want to make sure I lose the weight before summer so I can fit into my summer clothes. It is amazing how many points some of the things are and you don't even think twice about it. So hopefully this will help me to learn to eat a little better and after the 3 month maybe I will cancel and be able to manage things a little better on my own. Now Rachel, mom and myself are all on the plan so hopefully with some support it will help! I really should write more often so these aren't all so long.
