Hows the day? (edited to add)

*for the brownie recipe click on "these killer, to die for, better than lovin' brownies" it will take you to the link. Click with care

Well, I'm glad you asked. I'm feeling very blah-ish today. Why?... Well it might have something to do with my total lack of last nights sleep. Kaleb complained all day yesterday that his tummy hurt. In fact it hurt so bad he was doubled up in pain. It breaks my little mommy heart to see him like that. Especially when he tells me that it hurts in his chest (which means his acid reflux is bothering him which is a whole other story in itself). He'll say to me, "mommy, my stomach is coming up". Oh, what can I do? Nothing, so I feel slightly helpless. So I was up with him every hour or so last night because he wasn't feeling the best.

To say the least, this has been a very unproductive day full of...well...nothing. So what do I plan to do with my rest of my evening?...again, nothing. Except I do plan on eating rocky road ice cream out of the carton with a fork (not spoon. Not sure why. Ice cream just taste better out of the carton with a fork) and I have the best of intentions of making THESE KILLER, TO DIE FOR, BETTER THAN LOVIN' BROWNIES!!! Seriously, I kid you not. My friend Emily gave me this recipe and I am forever in her debt. These are the best brownies you will ever taste in your life. I offer this kind warning only as a friend. Once you get a taste of this brownie goodness you will crave it at least 3-5 times a week. So make sure you keep all ingredients on hand in case of emergency.

*these brownies are even better if you put them in the fridge

I'm sorry to hear Kaleb was sick and that you got no sleep! Hope tonight is better. Has Kaleb always had bad acid reflux? The reason I ask is that Hayden had it as a baby, and sometimes he is really whiny and won't eat, and I wonder if he has heartburn or something, but he isn't at the point where he can tell me whats wrong.
Enjoy your brownies! I will have to try that recipe.

Well, I can already tell tonight is going to be a LONG one. Kaleb has already been up for about an hour. It hurts worse when he has to lay down. I don't know what to do... {{{{hands are in the air, head is shaking}}}}... He has had Acid reflux ever since he was a baby. He has been on medication ever since. He's been seeing an upper GI specialist but that hasn't helped much. complain, complain, complain.

Acid reflux is very common and one sign is a loss of appetite because it hurts when they eat. And they are too little to explain what's going on which is really frustrating. I would ask your doc. about it. There is nothing worse then being miserable and in pain...poor kid.

You better make those brownies. I'm serious when I say they will be the best you've ever had. Actually, why don't you tell James to make them for you after he's done cleaning the bathroom. Then you can be the judge if their "better than lovin'" wink,wink, nudge, nudge.

I feel Kalebs pain. My heartburn is at an all time high right now. It was nevere this bad with Margo. But I am sure it is worse for him. Poor little guy. It is so hard to see your kids in pain and be helpless.

Last night was TERRIBLE! Finally at 5:00 am I woke nate up to hold Kaleb since I thought I was going to die from lack of sleep.

We are going to the doctors today, not like that will do anything. Wish me luck, or should I say Kaleb!

Gin Gin-

This is brandon.. I don't know how on earth you find time to blog every single day of the year!!!

Ginnie said...

it's easy...I just neglect my kids and my husband. Doing that gives me plenty of extra time to just sit and stare at my computer for hours on end. It's great!
