What a week. . .

Wow!  I got tons of cleaning down this week.  Not that the house was trashed, but since it's still new I'm trying super hard to keep it in prime condition!  Didn't get too much moved into the house from the garage but I've been flying as a single parent all week AND taking care of Jerry while he recovers from his dentist appointment.  That alone should be remarkable!
Monday, 01.23.2012

• Called Pediatrician's Office and reschedule Jaxen's 2nd Flu Shot
• Called the Dentist Office to see what Jerry could take for pain before his appointment. . . they called in a prescription for an antibiotic and vicodin.
• Picked up Jerry's prescriptions after work.
• Ordered Baby #4's Baby Book - should be here this weekend!
• Got all the trash to the curb for pickup OR get to the burn pit to burn.

Tuesday, 01.24.2012 - Jerry came home early from work and got about 4 hours of sleep before I got him up for the dentist appointment.  After the appointment he came home and went straight to bed - only getting up to rinse out his mouth and change the gauze.  Poor guy was miserable.

• Jerry's Dentist Appointment at 830am {4-hours!!}
• Alex's Birthday party at 6pm
• Between Jerry's Appointment, Alex's Birthday Party, taking care of the boys, and getting Chloe off the bus {since I have to be standing outside when the bus comes} - I really had little to no time to get a lot of things done. . . Kind of bummed but I can't complain - right now, Jerry has it much worse than me!
• With the kids' help - I took Christmas decorations to the carriage shed.
• Trimmed Lucy's butt

Wednesday, 01.25.2012 - Jerry spent most of the day in bed, dead to the world!  I kept him comfortable with ice packs and watching the time so he didn't miss a dose of medicine.  Jerry finally came out of the bedroom around dinner time so I could clean the bedroom and bathroom.  And I got him to eat 2 containers of yogurt for dinner.

• Jaxen's Flu Shot - 830am
• Grocery Shopping with the boys
• 2 complete loads of laundry folded and put away.
• Ran the dishwasher 3 times - washing all the dishes being brought in from the garage.
• Cleaned the "sun" room - including carpet cleaning.
• Changed bedding.
• Mopped the kitchen floor.
• Cleaned the dining room.
• Gathered Jerry's tools for a trip to the garage.
• Cleaned the Master Bedroom.
• Sanitized and mopped both upstairs bathrooms.
• Cut Jacob's Hair.
• Bath time for both boys.
• Vacuumed the entire upstairs.

Thursday, 01.26.2012 - Jerry spent the morning on the couch and then all afternoon in bed.  The medicine makes him really sleepy.

• Took Jacob to school / Picked Jacob up from school
• Laundry - 1 load completed, 1 load in the washer, 1 load in the dryer
• Cleaned and vacuumed downstairs
• Cleaned the "playroom"
• Cleaned the boys' room - Finally unpacked all their toys and books
• Cleaned Chloe's room - Finally unpacked all her toys and books
• Finish unpacking the extra toys to the playroom
• Ordered Chloe's cupcake toppers for her classroom goodies - they should be here need week.
• Cleaned the cat's room. . . got it so the dogs can't get to it and the kid's will take turns feeding them.
• 31 Boxes out of the garage - only a bazillion left to go!

Friday, 01.27.2012 - Didn't sleep well last night, Jerry must have slept too much yesterday because he was up and down 100 times last night.  Jerry's been up most of the day, I think he's trying to get along without so much medicine.  He's planning on working this weekend, plus he will have the kids while I am at work and the vicodin makes him really sleepy.  The pain seems to be manageable with Tylenol and ice packs.  The swelling has gone down a lot!  He doesn't look like a chipmunk anymore!  He's also acting better - playing with the kids, snacking throughout the day, and getting some of his own To-Do List done.  It's so nice to see him coming back around to his old self. . . he's been in pain too long.

Besides having little sleep, I also woke up in a little bit of pain - I did a lot of moving and lifting of things yesterday, plus falling down the stairs carrying a box of Chloe's books didn't help anything!  My goal today is to finish up the loose ends that I started yesterday and then sit on my butt and relax. . . I have to work the next three days and it's hard enough without being in pain.  I will promise you all who are concerned. . . I will go to the doctor next week if I am still in pain after falling OR/AND if the pain gets worse, I will call or go immediately to the doctor.  With all that being said. . . here's what I've done today!

• Took Jacob to school / Picked Jacob up from school
• Enjoyed Mom's and Muffins at preschool!
• Filled car up with gas - there is a nasty four letter word floating around - SNOW.
• Carpet cleaned the sun-room - again! 
• Unpacked the Little People and moved the kids table to the sun-room.
• Rearranged the toys in the toy room. . . didn't like how it ended up yesterday.
• Laundry - Still on going. . . So far 10 loads this weekend and about 1 or 2 left to go. . . I told you I was behind from our sewer problems!!
• Ran to Walmart for a few things we need to get us through the weekend. . . Jerry needed more yogurt and some anti-inflammatory medicine {after only one pill, he can open his mouth enough to eat a soft taco from Taco Bell! Yay
• OTHER than all that. . . I have laid around, read a book and surfed the Internet while the kids played in their rooms most of the day.  It's like Christmas around here. . . they haven't seen some of these toys for 2 months!
