A Long Day. Whew!

Yesterday was such a long day. A VERY long day. Where do I even begin! First of all, I had another long night with Gavin. He was waking up throughout and really pulling at his ears. I'm thinking, "Oh great, another ear infection." We get up in the morning and I make a DR appointment first thing. I had to bring him in at 2:30.
Olivia got home from school and was Ms. GROUCHO. She was being horribly mean to her brother and even BIT him, which she is NOT a biter. I decided to take a shower when Gavin went down for a nap. The kids were playing nicely so I'm in the shower and I hear SCREAMING. I jump out thinking something terrible had happened and Olivia had HIT Channing b/c she wasn't getting her way. This irritates me beyond belief b/c I know she is acting out of being overly exhausted. The fuss wakes Gavin up prematurely from his nap and that's NOT good! I get back in the shower after things calmed down and as soon as I'm dressed, Channing comes running into the bathroom screaming at the top of his lungs. There was blood in his mouth and I couldn't figure out what had happened. Olivia followed saying Channing was jumping on his bed and he fell and bit his lip. I'm thinking we are going to have to go to the ER b/c if you would have seen the blood you would have thought for sure, stitches. He did not bite his lip but instead, bumped his tooth. There was a lot of blood coming from around the tooth and it was a little loose. I decided I would just have the Dr take a look when we went in for Gavin's appt.

We get to the DR office and Olivia is still grumpy, Channing is crying and it's getting louder and louder, Gavin wants down and is head butting and pinching. Not a fun day! lol! We finally see the DR and she tells me that Gavin's ears look great to her. He is teething all at once and it's causing him some extra pain but other then that, he's good until April 15 when he sees the specialist. She took a look in Channing's mouth and told me that his tooth is going to fall out, we just have to wait until it does. (duh, it's a baby tooth. lol) However, the fall did knock it loose. Another DR came in and said that if we take extra precaution the tooth may firm up and he'll be good to go. When that was said and done, I was walking out of the DR office with Gavin in Channing in each arm. I swear I'm super mom.
Just a crazy day. I have those from time to time! The best part of yesterday occurred when my grandpa called to ask if I would be interested in bringing the kids to Iowa with him and grandma Sharon! They will be flying into Chicago and then coming up to stay overnight in Peoria and we all leave the following day! This takes place at the end of May! :) My uncle is graduating college!
Today, is going great so far! I was able to go out to a few garage sales this morning with the boys while Olivia is in school! Channing had his little wallet and was ready to spend some money! We didn't have any luck today with the sales, but I know there is def. more to come in a matter of time! :)

I am now waiting for Olivia to get home from school. The Boys are napping and when they get up, we are heading into mom's for lunch! I'm meeting a friend to give her money b/c this summer I'm signing up to be on a Co-Ed slow pitch softball team! I'm excited!!!!!!!! well, that's my crazy day! :)
