Momma Trials & Tribulations

Hey there Mommas! What a crazy week this first week of October has been.  Phew.  Where do I even start? Well, first it was our product launch on the 1st and that was very exciting.  Thank you all so much for the love and support.  It means the world to me.  My little monkey had his first soccer game of the season and well that was...umm interesting.  Kinda like watching somebody herd cats.  I think each team scored more goals in the opposing team's goal than their own.  Nevertheless, I am always proud of my boy.  Unfortunately, he has come down with some sort of virus that is going around this week.  He's been home from school with me yesterday and today.  He's getting antsy having to sit still.  This kid is seriously a tough little booger.  He rarely tells me if he feels bad...it's usually me just going to hug him or touch him and then I realize how hot he is and I have to ask, "Do you feel okay baby?" Then he'll think about it and realize he's not feeling so great.  I have literally seen this kid up and playing with his cars like it was no big deal when he was running 104 degree fever.  Super Kid I guess is what I should call him.  He tried to convince me that he was okay to run cross country last night when he was running 101.8.  I laughed and said, "Absolutely not."  To which he promptly threw himself on the floor and started whining because he wanted to run.  Crazy right?  But I love having him home with me.  He's so sweet and cuddly with his momma.  Always my sweet little Momma's boy.  So we've been getting lots of snuggles in and reading books and watching movies.

Meanwhile, I am about to go insane over this clown stuff going around at school.  What is the deal with this??  My kids' school was apparently on somewhat of a lockdown yesterday because some middle schoolers were making fake clown Instagram accounts and threatening the elementary school.  Then, on top of that, one school in the area had a total lockdown over a gun threat and another school announced that they were being threatened too.  I know that lots of schools around the country are experiencing similar issues.  I understand that these teenagers just think they are playing harmless pranks, but their parents need to be talking to them about the people they are affecting.  It's not fun and games to the parents of these small elementary children.  It's not something we can take lightly.  I just hope that these kids that are involved in this foolish behavior get punished properly and are able to realize how serious the consequences are for their actions.  I know all of you mommas across the country understand the fear I'm going through dropping my little ones off with these threats going around.  It has to stop.

So dealing with my sick child and dropping my other child off at school knowing there is somebody threatening violence there, I get home from drop-off at school this morning and see this:

This is my garden that our crazy dog, Jade, decided to destroy this morning over a FROG.  Yes that's right.. the garden I've been tending to ALL summer long and managed to somewhat keep alive in all of this Oklahoma heat...and it's ruined because of a FROG.  Thanks Jade.  

So there ya have it girls.  My week in a nutshell.  Fun stuff.  Is it Friday yet?????
