It's been awhile since I've last posted anything and a lot has to do with me. I've been extremely tired, cranky, moody, you name and that's me. Plus my computer has been acting all weird on me too so it's been hard to post anything up.
First thing is first let's start off with the Mammoth Marathon up at Bear Lake last weekend. As you all know Silene and I ran the 10K last week and it went ok. It was really cold the night before and the forecast predict scattered thunderstorms on race day. I was a little worried because I really didn't want to run in the rain because I hate being cold! We went to bed late because Brock didn't go to bed till almost 11 p.m. and I woke up at 6 a.m. I was tired! I looked outside and it was gray and gloomy and it started to rain just a tad. Silene and I decided to wear our pajama bottoms because we thought it would be cold for our capris. We thought wrong and I will explain later why our decision wasn't the best. Brandon drives us to the end of the race so we can catch our bus to the start of the race. We get to the start of the race and warm up a bit and off we go. There was no bullhorn, no shotgun, people just started running. I have my running jacket on and I forgot to give Brandon my gloves and ear warmers so I stuff them in my pockets of my jacket. I ended up losing Silene because she got hot and took off her sweatshirt and had to rearrange everything. There's a light rain and the bottom of my pajamas are all wet. I was feeling good, not tired, no need to walk (I do not want to walk ever in a race!) and I see Brandon and hear my little cheerleader cheering me on. It was cute Jazmin and Mariah were cheering me on. As I get close to the finish line the lady tells me to unzip my jacket so they can see my number. When I was on the bus I decided to pin my number to my shirt because I thought I would take off my jacket. I never did because my pants were so wet that I was constantly pulling them up. So I'm nearing the end and I have to unzip to show my number. I do and I'm sprinting to the finish and my pants are seriously falling. I am holding them up while running so I'm pretty sure everyone got to see my underwear. I was kind of embarrassed. I finished the race in just over an hour. Little disappointed because I felt like I was running faster than that. That race wasn't very well organized.
I have been having a real hard time with Brock the last couple of days. He hasn't been sleeping in his crib so I would have to bring him in our bed and he would fall fast asleep. The minute I moved him back to his crib he would just scream. I wasn't sleeping the best and I was so tired and so cranky I didn't know what to do. Brandon and I decided something is wrong because he isn't sleeping, eating, losing weight, runny diapers, and very clingy. We decided that I needed to take him to the doctor. So I took him in on Monday and told him his symptoms. He told me it sounded like the flu and it should be over with my the end of the week. Ok. I told Brandon that I was going to give Brock some benadryl before bed time. So I put him down to bed and of course he starts crying the minute I lay him down. I wanted to cry because I didn't want him sleeping with us another night. The kid is everywhere when he is in bed with us and plus I didn't want to start that bad habit of him sleeping with us. As he is screaming I see a little white thing on the bottom of his mouth. Molars! He is getting his year old molars and he is in pain because of them. I run downstairs and get the Motrin. I give him his dose and he goes settles down and sleeps the whole night! He didn't wake up a bit! THANK GOODNESS! He is back to his sleeping pattern and he is a much happier baby. I felt like a bad mom because he had been in pain for 4 days or so with no pain relievers and this huge tooth is coming in. Next time I will check for molars if the same symptoms come when he gets his 2 year old molars. I went to bed at 9 p.m. and woke up at 7 a.m. the next day. I felt great! I wasn't tired and I wasn't grumpy. I just had to catch up to all the sleepless nights that I had going on.
I will have to get the bear lake pictures up. My computer is acting all wacked out so they will be coming soon.
