being sick sucks

So I have Been sick since Sunday night....I had a swollen tonsil that hurt like hell. We were supposed to visit our friend Jenna on Monday, her little boy ended up being sick so we had to cancel, which was a good thing because I was not feeling good at all! I went to the doctor and he said it was just a virus and that it would get better in a couple of days....well it didn't it got worse. It was awful. And to top it off it was our 8th wedding anniversary on Wednesday and I was SICK! We are going out of town this weekend with our best couple friends to celebrate our anniversary and I just didn't want to be sick! Luckily I feel 100% better today!!! (I will do an anniversary post when we get back from our trip)

School starts back up in two weeks, and I am not ready to go back to work. Derek is having shoulder surgery from a work related injury, and it is going to be hard to handle everything myself. Plus Sully is going through the stage where he cries whenever we leave him, so daycare will not be fun!

So, I realize this post is super uplifting (sarcasm)...but I will at least leave you with some summer pictures!

 Question, I heard a mom at the zoo telling her little boy, who really badly wanted to play at the dino dig, that he was never allowed to play there because that is where Bobby got sick.....I felt horrible for that kid. First of all, there is no way to prove that is where Bobby got sick, and second of all you can get sick from anything, anywhere....so how is that a realistic option. Thoughts?

I cannot believe that I almost forgot to post this..............BENJAMIN IS POTTY TRAINED!!! We started two Mondays ago, we had two days of accident after accident, and right after we were going to give up, he started going in the potty, by himself and even closing the door because he wanted privacy! So he is officially potty trained during the day. At night we put pull ups on him. He sleeps for almost 12 hours, so we are a little nervous about the night time potty thing! Sometimes he wakes up dry, and sometimes he doesn't... but he always wakes up from a nap dry...so we are getting there! I am so proud of him!!!!
