This week has sucked so far. It started on Sunday night, Oscar night. Joey woke up around 11 or so with a sore tummy. He has this quite often, usually right around dinner time if we're having veggies, or in the evening if he has homework to do, so I wasn't too worried about it. He kept on whining about it, and couldn't get back to sleep. So, being the wonderful parents that we are, we made room in our bed for Joey. Chris was already in there cause he was crying, so it was a pretty tight fit. Not long after coming into our room, Joey puked in the bed. Yep, puked all over our bed. Poor kid felt bad about it, but I told him not to worry. By this time, it was about 1am, and we were all awake. After throwing up, Joey said he felt better.... but the worst was yet to come. He puked I don't know how many times through the night, as well as all day on Monday and in the morning on Tuesday. He drank gatorade and ate popsicles so now he's feeling better, and its Christopher's turn to be sick. I tell ya, I've never washed so much pukey laundry or mopped up as much puke ever in my life. This has not been a good week.

I shouldn't say that it has been bad because something great happened on Monday. Christopher took 4 steps, he walked to me! I was so excited, and all I could think was how lucky I was to be home with the boys instead of them being at a sitter. I would have been so upset if his first steps had been for the sitter instead of me. Will he do it again??? I really hope so cause he's a heavy little boy! He's getting really good at standing on his own and letting go of things or picking up toys in both hands and turning from the table to the couch. Its only a matter of days till he's toddling around everywhere! I can't wait - its so cute!

Tonight I could be a millionaire. You never know, stranger things have happened! We have one of the millionaire for life tickets and I'm really hoping that our numbers come up. I know, chances of that happening are slim to none, but I can always hope, dream and wish. Those 3 little things have gotten me lots of stuff before :)

And that's it for today. I've got more laundry to wash and a whiny baby, so I'm gonna have a wonderful day! I hope you do too!

P.S. Speaking of Oscar, you gotta see The Departed - its an incredible movie and very well deserving of the best picture award!
