Busy Busy!


I love that Harrison has hair. William still doesn't have as much hair as Harrison does but it is growing in now. He is a lot luckier than me. I didn't have hair until I was three and I was stuck with the name Jymme. Can you imagine how much pink my mom had to dress me in. Harrison's hair is so blonde that you can't really see it in pictures. But he just got a bath and I gave him a fauxhawk. If I was smarter, I would give him a bath at night since it puts him to sleep but we are so busy that I just find time to do it when I can.


This past week has been an absolute nightmare. We are trying to get the house staged to put on the market. We met with two realtors and didn't like either one of them. They seem really lazy! We don't get much of a choice since everything goes through Farmer's relocation company. Anyway, in the midst of cleaning and reorganizing the house (basically renting a storage unit and packing), William got really sick. He had the highest temperature. It reached 105.5. And the worst thing you can hear from a doctor is "lets just watch it for a few days and see how he does." Ugh, it makes me to mad to hear this from a medical professional. William did nothing but cry for hours on end for days. he wouldn't eat or sleep and was unconsolable. It is the worst feeling as a parent to see your child suffer and not be able to comfort them. Today he is doing much better and the fever finally broke yesterday. Because of all of the stress, I had a migraine for two days. If you have never had a migraine, you wouldn't understand how bad they are. I wouldn't wish one on my worst enemy. They are disabling. My biggest fear is getting one once Scott leaves for good and not knowing how to take care of myself and the boys at the same time. I am also doing better now.


This Wednesday we fly out to California and look for a house. I really hope we find one or settle for one this trip so we can live together that much sooner. The following week we are off to good ole Missouri. My great friend, Becky, is getting married. It will also be Harrison's first trip home and he gets to meet his namesake, his Great Grandpa. We will also be getting him baptized in the family church that weekend. It is a short trip home and we are making the most of it by visiting my family (Southern Missouri) to visiting Scott's family (Northern Missouri). We hope Harrison is good for long car rides :)

Basically, Scott has four days left in Utah (today, tomorrow, next Monday and Tuesday) to try to get all of his Utah work done, finish his new tasks for his new job, find a realtor, meet with 3 appraisers, meet with the relocation company, sell the truck, finish getting the house ready and go to the doctor. Let alone trying to help me get into the doctor while he can watch the kids. And take Belle to the vet. It is such a mess trying to tie up everything here before starting all over in California. I have to try to get everything done that I need to while I still have a babysitter. Can you see why I am stressed?

Oh my gosh! I'm stressed out just by taking care of two kids... I can't imagine having everything else on top of that, especially having a sick child. I'll be praying for you that you have safe trips and that your house buying/selling process is fast and relatively painless. Wish I could help you out!
