Lots going on!

Well, I ended up with influenza! After a week of feeling like hell I feel better, finally! Paytons ear infection cleared up and he is back to his cheery self! On top of all of that I got another part time job. I am working the drop-in childcare at the Y 15-20 hours a week. It's ok. I miss being home in the evenings, but we need the money. My literacy job ends on May 18 for the summer, so I had to pick up something. I wish I could find something to do from home, but doesn't every stay-at-home mom?! We are also looking for a place to rent outside of Racine. The "city life" is getting to me. We are about to go on vacation for 5 days to Jamaica. Josh is in a wedding there. My parents are coming to stay with Payton while we're gone! I'm excited to go, but hate leaving my baby. All in all, it's kinda been a stressful week! We had a wonderful long Easter weekend in Stevens Point and I have awesome pictures to share! I'll post those later! I just wanted to give a quick update! I'm leaving you with a little inspiration from the one and only Miley Cyrus! ENJOY!
THE CLIMB
I can almost see it That dream I'm dreaming but There's a voice inside my head sayin, You'll never reach it, Every step I'm taking, Every move I make feels Lost with no direction My faith is shaking but I Got to keep trying Got to keep my head held high There's always going to be another mountain I'm always going to want to make it move Always going to be an uphill battle, Sometimes I'm gonna to have to lose, Ain't about how fast I get there, Ain't about what's waiting on the other side It's the climb The struggles I'm facing, The chances I'm taking Sometimes might knock me down but No I'm not breakingI may not know it But these are the moments that I'm going to remember most yeah Just got to keep going And I, I got to be strong Just keep pushing on!

We're here!

We have been sick! Payton has an ear infection and I am sick with a sinus infection! Tuesday, Josh stayed home from work because I couldn't even get out of bed. Monday was my birthday and I started feeling sick then. After work I came home and went straight to sleep. Josh slept with Payton on the couch, who was also not feeling good. Tuesday Josh stayed home and took care of everything! He took Payton to the doctor, made sure the house was picked up, laundry was done, lunch was made, everything! I finally caved and went to urgent care on Wednesday evening, I couldn't stand it anymore. I have not been that sick since way before I was pregnant with Payton. Now we are feeling better. Still not 100% but lots of improvement with antibiotics in our systems! Yesterday Payton and I made our wonderful dad/fiance some homemade blueberry muffins for being so awesome this week (he is every week, but especially this one!) I love you hunnie! You're the best! XOXO I have so many pictures to post on here, I'm so behind. I got this awesome photo album/scrapbook thingy for my birthday that I can't wait to start and right now I'm printing wedding invitations! We've been super busy! Enjoy the pics!
Payton stirring the muffins! Adding some fresh blueberries! Yum!
