up all night

our week started off really rough...

about an hour after we all headed to bed madyn woke up just bawling

she cried nonstop till about 3 or 4 in the morning.

at first we were thinking that she just had a bad dream because 

she wouldnt tell us what was wrong.

by about midnight we finally figured out that it was because her ear was in pain.

so between her crying, my neck, her kicking us in her sleep, 

and being completely exhausted it was a pretty miserable night.

when we all woke up in the morning we trekked on over to urgent care to

get that stinking ear looked at. 

while we were waiting for the PA to come in little miss threw up 

mucus and snot everywhere. 

talk about sending your stomach over the edge.

we went and got her prescription and headed back home to get some rest.

eric was seriously a lifesaver.

he was a trooper with her during the night, then being thrown up on at the doctor,

dealing with me and mads while we did some shopping and then

going home to make us all a delicious steak lunch.

we all just crashed after lunch.

i think we all had all we could take.

monday was presidents day so mads had the day off of school...

not like she has been going a lot anyways being sick.

we had a good day together, i love listening to her play and pretend.

tuesday little miss headed back to school.

she was thrilled to be back with all her friends.

by the time i went back and picked her up she wasnt ready to head home.

she was certain that she wanted to stay.

i could tell she was pretty tired but we had a few errands to run.

i went back and had a chiropractor appointment

and by the time it was over i got a text from carilyn and tony saying that

they just made it into town.

madyn was ecstatic to see them- and boy let me tell you it sure hyped her up.

they were able to hang out at the house for a few hours and visit.

around 5 when eric got home madyn just crawled up in his lap and fell fast asleep. 

poor girl was exhausted.

it was a pretty low key rest of the week until friday. 

 tony and carilyn came back through that afternoon and stayed with us that night.

madyn was so excited for them to be here with us.

she had us playing all sorts of games with her.

we visited till late in the night.

when we got up saturday we headed over to perkins to have breakfast

with tyson, courtney and travis.

after breakfast they took off back home. 

madyn was soooo sad to see them leave. 

with staying up and visiting late at night me and eric were both 

just beat so we fell asleep right when we got back.

that afternoon we went and watched the cowboys play some basketball.

we had a good afternoon and evening together. 

this week i also started a 365 day photography project. 

i was challenged to do that so i could keep up on the skills that i learned at

my photography class last week.

so my goal is to get 365 pictures with no editing.

the only real hard part right now is trying to find things to take pictures of 

around the house since it is so freezing out right now.
