Catch up...

Well I am not going to go thru all the horrible details of the ENTIRE family being sick off an don since the last time I posted, as it would be icky and I personally would rather not rememeber it!

I did think this was the weekend where we would be all well, but well Tanner decided to suprise us by getting the "runs" today! He feels fine but is using lots of diapers!

My hours are going to be changin at work I will now be 630-330. Which will be super nice in the Summer! Rick is going to work earlier also, but we will see how long that lasts or if he really comes home earlier.

Poor Rick was even sick on his B-day. He came home from work and stayed in bed the rest of the day and most of the night. He then stayed home the next day too.

Last night Dad won a big jackpot on the boat! We are all going to go to dinner sometime this weekend to celebrate! I think Grandma Anne sent it to him as he asked her for it and 2 spinners later he won! GREAT job Grandma! :)

At work today we heard that the family (that is who owns us) wants us (Dubuque Branch) to "teach" everyone in the company (about 3000 people) the F.I.S.H phillosphy
Wow how exciting is that! We have been doing this for about 3 years. We actually have kind of gone off track of it and made it our own. But our turn over rate is only about 8% which is EXTREMELY low for a call center and they want that to flwo thru the whole company! It's amazing that we have had that kind of effect on the Mills family!

Well I will be a better blogger.. hopefully there will be no more sickies! At least for a while!

Promise Promise

I will start back up again on Friday night. I think we are all finally well.. or at least much much better. 

2 words

Still sick!

Had to work today, then went to bed for 5 hours. I feel horrible.

Oh nooooo

I am still so sick. I have taken Nyquil the last 3 nights and I keep having awful coughing fits. I got sick at work twice while having a coughing fit. My nose is as red as an engine! I have to work Sat morning from 7-11... and I just want to lay in bed.

We did call Aunt Kim tonight and it looks like she may come and visit on Sunday. Tanner is very excited. He also asked to visit Grandma J on Sat... so they will prob do that while I am at work!

Night all

Bad days off!

Well lets see where to begin. Sunday Tanner woke up VERY sick. Its the worst sick he has every been. It is just a bad cold but he was feeling awful, very rough sounding cough. He didnt do much of anything and refused to put on underpants... so that was it for the training! Sunday night I started to feel sick! He ended up in our bed for some of the night as he could sleep well becasue of being so congested.

By Monday morning I flet like total crap! I got the bad cold and cough! Tanner was still sick. It was a fun day trying to watch him and be ill at the same time! Her only woke up twice inthe night which was better from before. He would not take any meds so I had to put it in his juice.

Tuesday I was totally down and out, and Tanner was starting to get his zip back.. still with a bad cough tho, very snotty! Then at lunch my mom called me to tell me that Dad failed his stress test and had to go and have another heart cath on Wed. Well Rick thought I should be going back to work on Wed anyway so I called and said I wouldnt be coming back till Thursday.

Today I feel a bit better but this cough is awful it so hurts! Dads surgery went well , they found a blockage in an artery from his heart to his Kidney! So they ballooned and put a stent in. He was able to come home tonight. I just went and picked them up!

It was a hell of a 4 days and I would LOVE to spend the next 24 hours in bed... but thats not going to happen.

Positive thing for the day.. I got my wishblade ordered!

Next thing to sell is the Sidekick!

1 out of 3 :(

Well it didnt start off so good. He got up and eat breakfast and I changed his clothes. I put a pull up on him becuase I had to run to work and do payroll. I was worried Rick would forget to ask him to go. Well I was only at work an hour and when I got back he was practically asleep. Rick got him into to bed. That was at 1130. I went and woke him at 4:00. I changed his clothes and he peed on the potty then. We put his big boy underwear on, and 45 min later he peed in them and on the floor. He freaked out and didnt want to put more underwear on. Well we finally got them on him again and we lasted until 8:00 till he peed again. I asked him about every 20 min if he had to go and he still peed. Well he has his jammies on now and a diaper :(

We will try again on Sunday!

Here we go.........

Well it is Friday and that is good and bad! Saturday starts "Official" Potty training! But I am sure it will be a long process. Tanner has been so far ahead on others things that I am sure this is where he will lag behind. LOL . I went and bought more underpants tonight as I jsut think that he will keep peeing in them and I don't want to run out! I may have over done it as I have 21 pairs! I also bought some pull up for when he is taking a nap .. I am just not sure I want to keep doing sheets as well!

I was pretty cranky at work today. I just didnt want to be there. I just kept making a list of stuff I need or want to do this next four days. I also hope to sell my stuff on Ebay tonight so I can buy the Wishblade. If the stuff doesnt sell tonight I am going to put the other stuff up that I wasnt sure I wanted to sell or not. Because I really want that Wishblade!

Well I better get to the list I started!

Lets see what's been happening

Ok.. Last thursday he got a haircut and we went and got groceries. He was a SUPER good boy for his haircut. Sat really nice and still and talked to the gal. We then went to Hyvee, and stopped in front of Michaels and he said "Oh no not this store" Hmm maybe I can't take himt here anymore!!

Friday Aunt Kim, Uncle Eddie and Kylie came to visit. We went to Marcos and had pizza. Well I ordered him a hamburger and FF but he ate dads pizza! Rick went to the Walhert game. Then every came to our house and Tanner showed off to everyone!!! Typical! Then when it was time to go... he said "NO Eddie stay and play toys!" HE also got more trains from Grandma Di today.

Casey also had a VERY bad Staph infection and had to go to the Doc multiple times!

On Sat it was Grandma J's birthday but she was a busy lady and we just talked to her on the phone. We were a bit lazy and did not do to much. I moved the old computer upstairs into my Scraproom so I can use it when I want. I also hooked it up to phone line internet! IT SUCKS it is sooooooooo slow. Glad I wont use it for that much! I am going to use it basically for the Wishblade cutter that I am saving for!

Sunday we went to Grandma J's and Walmart. He got Bulgie the bus at Walmart. We then took GrandmaJ out to diner at the Bridge. Tanner got Chicken strips and ate the entire thing!

Monday was back to work and I talke to about everyone in the place about Potty training. Then when we got home that night he said he wanted to go ont he potty( This he has said before and never went) so I took him in and he actually peed! So I told him we would buy big boy underpants.

Tuesday after work we went and bought the underpants (2 Thomas and an Incredibles) he had to have them on that night, and he peed in one. HE HATED it that he was wet. He wanted another pair on and that one stayed dry. Just a fart stain!

Today (wed) he potty at Grandmas once. So slowly but surely he is starting! I am off on Mon and Tues and hopefully we can speed things along! Tonight he is tired and may fall alseep early. He only had a short nap at Grandmas today!

So thats the week in a nutshell!

Been Awhile

Yes it has been a while.. like a week. Tongiht I will catch up and say what went on during the week.

We are trying to potty train.. so its been BUSY!
