Sunday
Bethany and Izzy slept over last night so I woke up and hung out with them, then watched a little bit of a TV show in the basement with them to try to avoid waking up Eric, Mark, and John.
John woke up, so I nursed him down there, then we all 4 came upstairs for breakfast, which 3 of us ate (one of us was too busy to eat breakfast).
After that we just played until John and Becca got here.
I made eggs, sausage, and toast for the grown-up breakfast :)
Dressed John and put him down for a nap
Showered
Church at 11
Lunch at Zoups
Drove out to the Conference Grounds for Sunday coffee with the whole Dornbush side of the family and birthday celebrations.
I was pretty tired, so I napped from 4-6
Supper, convo, games
Drive back to GR and put John to bed
I started to unload some of the stuff that has accumulated over the past week of not really being home, but got overwhelmed, sat down on the couch, and still haven't moved. I might do so just so that I can make it to my comfy bed instead of waking up halfway through the night with a sore neck.
Whew... back to our normal lives.
Tomorrow I clean!

I woke up feeling much better this morning.
My morning was spent packing up all of our stuff to get ready to return to Grand Rapids.
Mark came with us to flee the sickness (John and Beckah were still not feeling so hot).
I dropped Mark off at home.
I went to pick up Eric's tux and waited for about half an hour because the guy that had my ticket got distracted helping another customer.
I brought Eric's tux to Kuyper for him to try on.
I realized how exhausted, overworked, and busy he was, so I helped out where I could (vacuuming the dining hall while John rode on the vacuum).
I drove home, changed, picked up Mark, and drove to Zeeland for the rehearsal.
I rehearsed (really an unnecessary part of this process).
I rehearsal dined (my stomach is not totally back where it should be after being sick).
I drove back to Grand Rapids and put my baby to bed.
I am now exhausted and am planning to go to bed.
Goodnight.

Sick day....
I woke up feeling pretty nasty, got out of bed, and threw up.
I soon discovered that my precious baby boy had spread his sick germs to nearly everyone in the Roosma family.
Bethany, Izzy, John, Mom, Eric, Becca, and I were all sick.
Mark isolated himself all day.
Julia and Brad fled back to Jenison the first chance they got.
Dad must have the immune system of a walnut.
So, instead of walking down by the lake and going with the girls to get pedicures, today I hurled up everything I ate yesterday and tried to sleep while taking care of my child.
Not so fun.
On a positive note, I mainly felt better by the evening!

This morning I hung out with John, made/ate breakfast, and packed up all the stuff we need for our week out at the CRC Conference Grounds with the Roosma family. My sick pukey baby from yesterday is much more himself these days.
Once John woke up from his nap, John, Uncle Mark, and I drove out to Grand Haven for an afternoon of food, games, and fun. John played on the giant playground with Bethany and Isabelle . He had a blast climbing up the stairs and going down the slide with me. He also loved sitting in the big car that bounced when he wiggled and "knocking me over" on the swings.
We got to eat dinner with the whole Roosma family (tacos, my favorite).
He was a little intimidated to take a bath with the girls, but loved standing by the edge watching them play.
Once he went to bed, we got to play games, hang out, and tell stories.
Heard from Uncle Mark to 3-year-old Bethany while she was cheating at playing Candyland: "Bethany you're going to have to learn that rules are the social norms that hold the world together. Also, this is a game of luck."

I subbed at the Potter's House for second grade today: best age ever!
Then we went out to Grand Haven to hang out with the Roosma family. So much fun!
After that Eric dropped me off at home and went to pick up Mark from the airport.
In about half an hour I:
1. put John to bed
2. put sheets, a fan, clock, and lamp in the guest room
3. straightened the living room
4. washed a load of laundry
5. folded a load of laundry
6. unloaded the dishwasher
7. cleaned the kitchen

I usually don't write what I do on Saturday, but I had a pretty productive one.
1. rearranged the living room.
2. put a "fake bottom" in the toy chest to put the toys that are too small for John underneath and so that he can reach all of the toys above it.
3. washed, dried, and folded three loads of laundry.
4. cleaned the kitchen.
5. figured out a bunch of stuff on my iPad.
Today I:
1. made oatmeal for breakfast
2. baked really healthy and pretty good tasting cookies
3. cleared the mess off our kitchen table
4. cleaned the kitchen
5. went for a walk with Sam and John in the beautiful weather
6. made chicken rice casserole for supper
7. watching a movie with Eric!
Here's the recipe for the cookies:
Ingredients:
2 Ripe Bananas, Mashed
1/3 C. Reduced Fat Peanut Butter
2/3 C. Unsweetened Applesauce
1 Tsp. Vanilla
1/2 Tsp. Salt
1/2 Tsp. Cinnamon
Dash of Ground Cloves
Dash of Ground Nutmeg
1 1/2 C. Quick or Old Fashioned Oats
1/4 C. Nuts (I used dry unsalted peanuts.)
1/4 C. Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
1/4 C. Reduced Fat Unsweetened Shredded Coconut (Optional)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Mix together the bananas, peanut butter, applesauce, vanilla, and spices. Add in the oats, nuts, chocolate chips, and coconut; stir until well combined.
Spoon a rounded 2 tbsp. of the cookie mixture onto the lined baking sheet, leaving an inch or two between each and flatten slightly. I placed a few more chocolate chips on top of each cookie. Bake for 20-30 minutes and allow to cool slightly.

I taught again today!
This whole getting up on time thing is rough; I can't believe I used to do it every day.
After picking up John I came home to an empty house because Eric is gone for the weekend. I made soup for supper, gave John a bath, played with him, put him to bed, and watched a movie.
Not much productivity this evening, but I worked a full day!

I subbed at The Potter's House today!
I woke up to an alarm clock for the first time in more than a month.
Showered, nursed John.
Started to make Oatmeal, then went to get dressed. Yup, I forgot about the oatmeal. Eric saved it before the whole pot burned, but there was only enough salvageable for John's breakfast, not for me.
I taught Preschooler's today. They take a lot of energy! I wished I had breakfast.
Two different groups (one in the morning and one in the afternoon) and I memorized all of their names by the end of the day! I'll have a whole different group tomorrow.
After school I went over to Franny's to hang out (she was watching John for me).
Then went home and hung out while Eric got ready to go to the Gala. I only saw him for half an hour; sad day. Then I just hung out with John and tried to relax because my legs were very tired.
After he went to bed, I packed his lunch for tomorrow and then went to bed.
I love teaching. It's great. I'm tired.

Wednesday.
Moved our bed and boxspring out of our room and into the guest room.
Mopped the bedroom and kitchen floors.
Got our new bed! Set in up with Eric.
Took John to the doctor and had to deal with the after effects of a shot... cranky, tired, feverish but wouldn't sleep.
Lined up a babysitter so I can sub tomorrow.
Packed a lunch for my baby boy. That felt weird.
I don't know what else I did. I'm sure we ate, so I must have cooked...

1. Stayed up/tried to sleep with John from 1am until the rest of the night. Teething is no fun.
2. Sort-of slept for an hour from 7-8am while Eric got ready and watched John then gave him cheerios to keep him occupied.
3. Woke up to find Cheerios all over the bedroom floor and a baby pulling the blankets off my bed in an attempt to pull himself up onto the bed.
4. Breakfast was canned pears and cheerios.
5. Tried to take a nap at 9:30am when John took a nap. That lasted less than 20 minutes.
6. Showered with the door closed. John was trying to pull himself onto my bed again when I got out. He probably thought I was taking a nap.
7. Went to the Notary Public to get my Teaching certificate notarized.
8. Ate lunch with Eric at Kuyper College.
9. Went to the bank to close an account that has been nothing but frustration the past few months.

Monday. Yucky Monday.
I met the crankiest baby in the world today. He took over the body of my sweet happy little boy. John was teething today, which meant anything and everything that I got done had to be done while holding him over my shoulder or listening to him scream in pain. Even with that today I:
1. Washed and dried one load of laundry (no folding or putting it away)
2. Grocery shopped (why listen to him scream alone when I can torture a whole store full of people?)
3. Made TWO Spaghetti Casseroles, one for me, one for our friends who just had a baby.
4. Ordered a $115 photo scanner from Amazon on sale for $28. Found out I had "Amazon points" saved up, so I got it for free!
5. Mostly cleaned the kitchen. Eric helped with that a lot.
6. Brought dinner to our friends in Holland and met their new baby girl.
7. Danced around the house to "Toddler Pandora" hoping that it would cheer John up. It didn't work to cheer him up, but I think it might have helped me to cheer up a bit. Disney songs and children's rhymes are good for ones soul.
I caught a step on camera!!!! Also, John did not want any clothes on, but was fine with my hat....

I got to have a great conversation with Uncle Jon about the importance or tithing.
I got to see Alicia's beautiful ring and help her brainstorm wedding ideas.
I got to spend quality time with my family because the internet was broken.
I got to jump on the tramp with my nephew, niece, and son.
I got to watch John hang out with his Oma and Opa (and Uncles and Aunts and Cousins)
I got to visit with people at church on Sunday.
I got to drink Whiskey with my sister in the middle of the afternoon.
I got to drive around to look at new construction or houses of interest.
I got to skype with my hubby (and see him again at the end of the week :)
And last but not least (because it's still lingering)
I got the runs....
Overall, I had a fantastic week. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family. I don't know why God chose me to be a part of this Hubers' clan, but I sure am glad he did.
