Life as a Lewis

Starbucks frappucino for the first time in two weeks. Yes, the ultimate sign I'm feeling better. My stomach can handle coffee again. And even better - it's Thursday, which means I have approximately 8 hours to go before I'm off work for 3 days. Still no layouts to share, but here's another funny Camden story. Brian always tells him stories before he goes to bed. Sometimes he makes up these elaborate stories, sometimes they're hunting stories (which Camden loves!), and sometimes Bible stories. Well, Sunday night he was telling him about Jonah and was saying that Jonah was running away from God. Camden gasped, and said, "But WHY was Jonah running from God? We LIKE God!"

I'm still around, just trying to get back into a routine. I came back to work yesterday, and haven't stopped! It's crazy around here. I went back to the doctor this morning and I'm still dehydrated so I'm trying to get in lots of water and gatorade. I feel pretty good, though, just very tired. I crashed at 9:00 last night and never knew when Brian came home or came to bed or even when the alarm went off this morning! One funny Camden story. Brian fixed sourkrout (no idea how to really spell this!) Saturday night taking advantage of me not cooking or eating because I will not fix or eat that! Camden proudly ate his "sourcrap"! I didn't correct him. He's been out of pull-ups for a week now, and he had two good nights, but ever since he's been wetting the bed so I think we're going back to pull-ups for a bit. Tell me how he can wake up 3-4 times a night to go potty when he's wearing a pull-up, but when he's got on underwear, he sleeps...

Well, I have had an eventful couple of days! I've been sick with an inner ear infection, strep throat, with a little bacterial stomach virus thrown in as a bonus. Fun! You know it's bad when I can't even make it to the computer! Hopefully, this medicine is going to kick in any minute now and I can start feeling back to normal, but for now I'm camped out in front of the T.V. eating jello.

I've discovered through this blog that I'm a complainer! Which is silly because I have plenty to be thankful for! Like my silly son who giggled his way through the evening last night. Not sure why, but he was so giggly and funny. We apparently should have taken the pull-ups off earlier because he slept all through the night for the second night in a row and was dry! I'm working in registration again today. It's fairly busy today, which is a good thing. Yesterday was SLLLLOOOOOOWWWWW! The husband of one of the ladies brought us all Starbucks coffee, which is very sweet. What I couldn't bring myself to tell him is that I think coffee tastes like dirt if it's not drowned in a frappucino or a peppermint mocha. And there's no sugar here! I've taken one drink, but am not sure I can manage to drink any more. I'll have to wait until there's a break and "finish" it up. Prison Break started last night. How nice to have something new to watch (bes...

I am so tired thsi morning. Do I begin all my posts this way? Worked Friday and Sunday so 5:30 this morning seemed to come a little too quickly. The weekend was pretty good. Brian came into town and helped me get all my shopping done for events on campus this weekend. It was nice to have someone else lugging all that stuff around! We saw The Devil Wears Prada. I thought it was really cute. I think Brian barely tolerated it. We went out to eat, and it was pretty good. I had a grilled artichoke as my vegetable, but could not eat it. It was like trying to chew plastic! Saturday Brian went with his dad to work on deer stands. Camden was still at his Gram and Gramps house. I got my hair cut and grocery shopped. Camden came home Saturday afternoon and has been a brat (did I really just call him that?) ever since. He's been quite cranky and whiny all week long, and I think that being away spoiled him a bit so we're working on getting him back to his sweet self! He slept last night in ...

No one get excited. It's just a cute story, not an announcement. Brian and Camden were watching golf or football (not sure I care which) this week, and there was a cute commercial on with puppies. Brian asked Camden if he wanted a puppy (which he is NOT going to get), and Camden said, "no, I want a baby sister." How cute is that! We're back to Camden's horrible summer sleeping habits. I think we're being paid back for all those times that parents told me their 3 year olds still didn't sleep through the night, and I thought in the back of my head that they must not be very consistent because otherwise, how could that be possible! We've had issues with this since May, but it had gotten a little better in the last couple of weeks, but this week has been horrible. He's up 3-5 times every night either going potty or wanting us to cover him up or just plain ready to get up and not happy when we tell him it's 1:00 a.m.! Last night he was up at 10:30 (...

Well, Camden is better, but now I have it. He woke up bouncing off the walls this morning and couldn't wait to get back to school so I hope he has a good day. I'm sure he will. Here are two pages I did while on a Tylenol high last night.
