15 min of bliss

  Okay 15 min until my kids favorite show "blaze and the monster machines" is over.  So I have this very short time to sip my 2nd cup of coffee and update my blog :).  Had yet another very busy weekend.  Doctors appointments, cakes and soccer.  Dallas now has physical therapy along with his 3 others a week, so 4 appointments a week for the little guy.  My favorite therapist is Justin his OT, because Dallas and him have just seemed to click.  He has been the only therapist we haven't switched and has been seeing him since September.  It might be that OT is a little more fun too.  He works with him in a form of play, but as soon as Dallas see's Justin walking down the hall he goes towards him.  Also I don't know maybe its just easier on me having a down to earth approachable therapist too.  Justin knows Jason and I love the Cowboys and Red Sox so we chat about that, he also gives me examples of ideas from his own children.  It's a great fit and I really hope that we do not have to switch at some point. 

  Did some much needed clothes shopping for the kids this weekend :). Mostly Slater was the one in need because he out grows everything.  Also had to get them outfits for their pictures this weekend.  Its just a mini session but I am hoping we get at least one picture of them all together.  I planned an awesome little date night in for Jason and I on Friday.  Bought some candles, steak, shrimp and made spinach artichokes dip with pork rhines instead of chips (no carbs).  Also rented Planet Of The Apes and I really liked it.  It was a nice relaxing night. 

 I also had a doctors appointment on Friday.  I have to do some heart tests (have a murmer) and also am being referred to a surgeon for the possibility of removing my scare tissue from my stomach and incision.  Doctor called it a tummy tuck essentially and I liked that :) except have no time at the moment for a surgery.  It is causing a lot of pain however so we will see.  It was a new doctor and when we walked in for the first 5 min of talking to him he had a coughing mask on.  After about the 4th time of me asking him to repeat himself he took it off and was like "im not sick.. just don't want to get sick".  Also got told to cut down my coffee :/.  He laughed at my face when he told me that.  I live off coffee (currently drinking a cup).  So I will replace anything after my 1st cup with decaf :(.
Which later brought Jason and I to a talk about our deaths if it happened sooner then later.  Basically game plan's of what we would want eachother to do with living, kids and money.  I don't even want to have to think of that but it's good we both know eachothers wants.  It would be important if something did ever happen.  It left me in the sudden thought of not life after losing Jason...but the thought of losing him.  One thing I have learned is life goes on regardless if want it to.  But it makes me very thankful for having him.  Our life is just crazy, but everyday I am thankful for him.  And with that I am THANKFUL for the time I have gotten to spend with him.  It's weird, without him probably even knowing he is my rock.  I know I won't feel better until I talk to him about something.  Sometimes just him taking it all in and usually always having that positive attitude and hugging me better.  I cling to him to be that positive side of everything.  And in return on the rare occasional moment that he needs some positive influence I am happy to do it.  I love having him in my life, without him I would struggle I know that.
