Random Thoughts

Tonight, I got home from work to do my usual routine of checking on Iszak to make sure he's tucked in. I always stroke his cheek, so he knows his mommy's home. Then I go in to check on Chris and say goodnight, if he's not asleep at the time. It just comforts me to know that my boys are taken care of.

I get on the internet and check my Facebook account to find out that someone from H.S. is STILL trying to be my friend. Okay, it's a nice gesture and all. I haven't talk to that person since before H.S. graduation. Plus she worked at my place of employment for a little while and just bashed the company after she quit. I realize people have their free speech, but come one.. there's something called a little respect. I've already denied the friendship request once, because I don't have any reason to develop that friendship or much rather acquaintance.  I'm weird that if you can't even include a personal message during the request, then you're obviously just wanting to add more status to yourself with having the most friends vs wanting to actually BE my friend. *honestly, just a pet peeve of mine*

Lately, Chris and Iszak haven't been feeling well, so I've had to play double duty all weekend. On Monday(today), I decided to take Iszak to the doctor. He's been pulling on his left ear for a week now. I spoke to the nurse last Tuesday about it, but there wasn't a lot of concern at the time. Because Iszak wasn't showing any sign of a fever or restless sleep, which are big clues for ear infections.  Behold, Iszak has an ear infection in his right ear. It's not a major infection, since the ear canal is partially clear. Iszak has been prescribed an antibiotic for 10 days, which should help him. This just shows that we're getting into the cold season and need to watch who gets into contact with Iszak for the time being.  I must say that I'm thankful for medical research to be on the lookout for new advancements all the time.

Speaking of other things:  Yes, I'm working on doing more environment friendly things, such as using reusable bags when shopping. I just wish the condo complex had recycling pick up, because it gets hard trying to store things until they can be dropped off. 

Another thing that I've also been doing is using more organic products, because they don't have all of the extra additives and chemicals. It is one area that I wish I had more knowledge about in the area of Organics. I love to go shopping at the whole food stores or wander down those aisles at the grocery store to find different things to try. Any thoughts or ideas about organics, let me know.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We sure did and enjoyed the longer weekend together as a family, even though there was a cold bug in our home. Iszak had his second solid food that day, which he LOVES sweet peas. He got so mad at me for stopping so soon, but I didn't want to overdo the first day on something new.  Thanks Megan for being my photographer that day! 

"Yummy Peas,  but why does Aunt Megan have to interrupt me while I'm eating."

 Iszak's 1st Thanksgiving!
