Early Start

As you could see by my Twitter to the right there, Zachary had no nap yesterday. Btw, the Twitter just lets me give everyone tidbits of how my day is going or what I'm experiencing btwn posts. Kinda fun little feature! :) Not that ANYONE is all that interested in MY life minute by minute. I digress. Zachary had no nap yesterday, so I put him to bed at 7:30 last night. He cried for about twenty seconds and then was heard from no more. Until 3:45 am that is! That little turkey woke up and would NOT go back to sleep. I went in once, then made Scott get up and tell him to go back to sleep. Then we were woken up again within minutes of him rolling his cars across our adjoining wall. That wall is ridiculous too. It sounds like someone's banging a gong in our room when Zach hits or kicks it. So you can imagine with little Matchbox cars having an Indy 500 it sounded like the real deal in our room. So I got up and we went down to the couch with him. I got a few more twenty minute naps during the On Demand cartoons, but he's still going strong this morning. I foresee a meltdown of major proportions, but it's unclear if it'll be me or him. :)~ Lilly also got up to nurse once before Zachary, so my sleep last night was all messed up. Lord, please remind me to be patient and speak kindly to my son/daughters today.

I had thought I'd go workout this morning, but Max has a recheck visit. OH - I didn't update everyone on this via the blog. Yea, Max apparently has no Lymphoma OR pneumonia. Yup - $300 later and a full weekend of worrying - the specialist was "unimpressed with the x-rays" and could see nothing remarkable on them. Really!? How does a veterinarian misdiagnose pneumonia that badly and get a patient all worked up over the possibility of losing their pet (b/c we wouldn't treat Cancer)??? It's really concerning to me that they were all "this pneumonia is really bad and we're gonna pump him full of a serious antibiotic and send you home with meds and send his x-rays out for Cancer check" and then it's neither cancer nor pneumonia. He clearly has something, some sort of infection b/c he responded to the meds and is much better. Although, the past few days I've noticed him coughing really hard again. His breathing is 90% better though. so - I guess I'll take him in today and see what they think again. Financially speaking, I really don't want to have to run through a whole battery of tests to find out what IS going on, but at the same time I don't want him to get that sick again in a month. I wonder if a simple blood test could check for different things.

Crud! Well, I've been out of bed since 5:00am and I'm still standing here in my jammies and now Lilly is crying to get up. Time to start the day.
