Oh......our B-cation!!

Well, we just returned from b-cation...that is how Noah says vacation. We just love it and no matter how many times we explicitely say "VAcation", he has no interest in saying it that way. So there you go. Anyway, we had a great time in San Antonio. It was our first ever family b-cation. We stayed at a Hyatt vacation club (a new one, Wild Oaks) and it was beautiful. Noah just kept looking around saying how cool everything was. He said over and over, "I looooove this bcation!" Man, he's a cutie. Anyway, our condo was awesome and the surroundings were beautiful. They had some great pools and lots of fun activities. Our friends, the Rohlwings, from Chicago met up with us down there. So Heather and I got to get a massage and Pete and Brian played golf of course. I sure wish my massage took as long as a round of golf! :) Obviously Wesley is at a hard age to take places but we made the best of it. It's 8:06pm and I'm about to head to bed......need I say more? Oh and one more thing........guess who came to visit us last night while we were on vacation????

The Pukefairy!

Yes, the evil demon that visited us......hmmm.....was that just last month???? Oh yes, folks, at 12 midnight last night, guess what we awoke to? Yep, Noah throwing up like a crazy person in his bed. And then it got really good............Brian started up as well. So yes, your dearest April who yes, is PHOBIC of throwup, had TWO people to take care of last night. Plus, throw in a side of Wes waking up every hour due to the loud commotion and it made for a verrrrrry long evening. Whenever I'm in a stressful situation, I have to talk myself down and prepare myself for every turn around the corner. So I actually remained calm and HELD Noah while he was throwing up......a big step, I know. The poor little guy was so sad looking. Then Brian was close to death. He unfortunately got the stomach bug in more than one way if you know what I mean, so he was really miserable. I didn't sleep hardly a lick because I can't relax at all in situations like this. So needless to say, the Lord answered my prayers and gave me lots of energy and stamina today as we decided to cut our bcation short and head home. The 4.5 hour drive really went pretty well. Both boys had stopped throwing up in the early morning and while Noah was kicking a football around at 8am this morning, Brian has not been so quick to recover. This really hit him like a mack truck. So please pray for him to heal completely. And if it isnt obvious, please pray that Wesley nor I contract this nasty disease. I believe it's time to go take some Tylenol PM and head off to lala land. I hope everyone had a great weekend and oh, thank you for all the comments to my last post about life as a mom/grumpiness/etc. I really appreciate all of the encouragement. I'm pleased to say that Brian and I went out on a date on Friday night (whole other story I'll have to tell later) and we had a great heart to heart. He told me what he needed, I told him what I needed, and all is great in love and parenthood. :) Well, you know what I mean. Okay, ta ta for now!

I admit it.

I've been an internal grump lately. Instead of going into all the details, I found this post that my friend wrote that pretty much describes my dillema....and error. I thought I would share it because it is so well worded and I relate to it so much. My friend challenges me and I'm so glad God put her in my life!
