Wow! What a ridiculous day to say the least! Let's start from the beginning... I have been sick for a little over a month now with sinus and cold issues. I'm always too stubborn to go to the doctor right away, in hopes that the sickness will go away on its own. Yesterday, I decided to give in and go get checked out since it has only gotten worse. Come to find out, I have a double ear infection and a sinus infection. He put me on antibiotics, which always mess up my body. They make me extra tired and upset my stomach greatly.
That's where today starts. I could not force myself to get out of bed this morning.. I am SO sleepy and feel like I didn't sleep at all. And my ears hurt, yuck! :( When I finally decided to look at the clock, it was 8:30! I had to be to work at 8:00- I must have turned my alarm off instead of hitting snooze. No big deal though.. I didn't have scheduled clients or volunteers this morning. I get up, pack Lucas' diaper bag, put chicken for supper tonight in the crockpot, get Lucas and I dressed, and head to work.
Lucas started grumpy around 9:45, so I go to make a bottle. That's when my day takes a plunge for the worse! I realized that I had not packed a bottle! :) LOL! I just laugh. I then pack Lucas up and drive back home, which is luckily only 10 miles. It actually turned out well because I got to check the chicken and see if my W2 was in our mailbox.
I just keep smiling and remind myself that life could be FAR worse than this. These are just the small struggles. As long as I continue to have a positive attitude, I know that I can handle anything that I am faced with. God is on my side and will see me through rough mornings! :) Have a great day friends!
I have been researching early childhood developmental activities as it is my mission as a parent to teach Lucas well in the home before he gets to school. With a little help from friends at pinterest.com, I created a hands-on-parenting workbook, full of lessons and ideas that I want to do with Lucas before he goes to school. One of the many things that I feel will stimulate him and peak his curiosity is sensory bins. 
Due to him only being 7 months old, I don't feel he is quite ready for regular sensory bins due to chocking hazards. Today I gave him a kitchen utensil sensory box, filled with tupperware, spoons, bowls, and measuring cups. He really loved the new textures and spent a good hour with his newly found treasures. He's teething right now, so really enjoyed chewing on the rubber spatula, as you can see from the picture. More sensory boxes will be in his future!
