"I'm not Crazy, I'm just a little Unwell. . . "

Yep, I'm still alive, kind of. I feel like I have been out of touch with reality lately. I have been so extremely sick and it has been hard to get out of bed most days. My husband has been so encouraging and loving. I am blessed to have him. He makes me smile and that is a miracle on most days. I know how depressing I sound, believe me. I feel even worse. lol

Allen did decide to take our guys and I with him to Memphis this week and it has been hard and great all in the same. He felt bad that we were just sitting in the house all the time, so we tagged along. It was a hard decision for me, but is nice to be able to see him at night. We are coming home late tomorrow and I have to work on Monday so it is going to be a long week this week. I also have to get my lawn mowed. I know my neighbors are just in an embarrassed state. It was raining when we left so I couldn't get it done. 2 weeks without keeping it under control is getting a bit careless. lol Geez

We took the boys to the zoo today here in Memphis. Gosh it is GREAT!! Our guys loved it. So much better than our Nashville one. A 100 times better actually. It's a must see thing. Very clean and even on a Saturday it was a calm environment. It was a tough day for me and everyone was getting tired of waiting for me to finish being sick in the bathroom. lol They were very kind about it, even Noah. Asher always asks me if the "baby in my belly is hurting me again?" Such a fun day, even if we did spend 45 minutes being lost on the way there. LOL :)

Well this is just another random almost pointless blog by a very bored and tired me. We are having movie night with the older boys while Allen is working. I can't tell you how many times we have watched Superman. I am so tired of it, but Jaxon can't take his eyes off it and Asher can tell you every time Superman is getting ready to take off and fly. Hilarious these boys are. I love them dearly.

What a conversation. . .

Asher mumbling to himself while eating his chicken nuggets at lunch today.

Jaxon: "Asher who are you talking to??"

Asher: "God!"

Jaxon: "Why are you talking to God?"

Asher: "Cause he is my friend!"

Jaxon: "What did He say?"

Asher: "You need to give me some of your chicken nuggets cause mine are gone."

Jaxon: "Tell God that He can't tell me to do that!!!"

Jaxon then gets his nuggets and walks to another seat, away from Asher!

You never know what you will get during a meal in the Green Household. I was making a grocery list through all this and started writing it all down. I was so happy to finally get one of these talks recorded word for word. It made me laugh out loud. I haven't done that in weeks. It was a great feeling! Boys are just incredible!!

ramblings of a pregnant woman

Not really sure what to call this post, besides just rambling.  I have definitely been feeling the hormones of this pregnancy. I am really going to miss this experience. Pregnancy is one of the most incredible seasons that God gave women. I am determined to cherish this one. Every last sick day of it. LOL

 I have a new friend that has really shown me the JOY that can come with it all. She is such a blessing.  I have never had anyone be so excited and happy for me and this baby. I am loving her encouraging words and excited smile. It is just super uplifting.

So last Friday, we went and registered Jaxon for school. I am just overwhelmed by the thought of letting go of my baby. I have been the sole caregiver since the moment I gave birth and I am just not sure about giving a stranger that privilege. Am I ready for that???? NOPE!! But it is just something I am going to have to accept and pray hard about. I know this will be such a great thing for him. Jaxon is a child that needs constant stimulation and it is something that, with 3 younger siblings, I would not be able to give him. So this will definitely be an adventure. It will be fun and exciting to see him learn and accomplish such important milestones.

Asher is just filling me with laughter. His new thing is always saying (when he is in trouble) "What does that mean???" I just have to turn my head and giggle. It is too funny. He says it with such a little drama and exaggeration. It is just like his mom. LOL Cracks me up. I can't believe how old he acts. It is hard to imagine that he just turn 3. He and Jaxon seem to be on the same exact page developmentally.

Noah is so funny. He is learning so many new words. His vocabulary has tripled since I started keeping the girls. The youngest girl is about 6 months older than him and is teaching him so much. Even sign lanuage. It is incredible. I'm loving it. He can tell you so many things now. I think this is my favorite baby age. 15 months is just amazing. And the whole mouth open kisses are just killer. LOL HAHAHA

Like I said this post is just a lot of rambling. So much on my mind and I am just trying to keep focused on the GOOD things in life. Most importantly, my family! They are so great and I am so blessed to have my guys. Sounds cheesy but I am really blessed and extremely grateful that I have them. Each day and every day!!!
