8-19-11 Happy Birthday, Jacob

Today is Jacob’s 27th birthday. I don’t think he’s feeling very well, poor guy, and he didn’t sleep at all last night. I think we will celebrate tomorrow. He’s funny, he doesn’t really want to make a big deal of his birthday. But I’m sure I can come up with something to make his day special.

I woke up at 2:30 am last night (or this morning) and threw up my dinner. My sickness pretty much started yesterday, but thankfully I was able to avoid it at the beach. We had a lot of fun on our vacation. We drove up Friday to Huntington Beach and spent Saturday hanging out at the beach with Becca, Jud, Sadie, and Joseph. They headed home late Saturday night, and we headed to San Diego Sunday after going to church and visiting the temple in Newport.  We Spent Sunday through Wednesday hanging out at the beach and the bay. The best part of all of it was watching the boys, particularly Easton, have so much fun playing in the ocean. Everything is just more fun when you’re watching your children have fun.

Teagan has been doing really well with his potty training. He’s been in undies the last 2 days, and he’s done really well at running to the potty whenever he has to go. He was so cute as we were driving to the beach. I’d ask him, “Teags, are you excited to go to the ocean?” And he’d say, “Sharks gon eat me. I’m gon die.” He said that the whole way up whenever we mentioned the ocean. Funny kid.

I have pictures that need to get developed, and then I’ll add them to this post. I didn’t take out my digital camera at all, so hopefully I’ll have some pictures to show for our vacation.

I feel pretty nauseous right now, and I had a really hard time eating yesterday. Everything sounded gross except for Olive Garden salad. I just want to lay down and sleep the yuckiness away but I have two boys who were neglected yesterday because their mom did just that. So much to do, laundry to put away from our vacation, and a mom who doesn’t feel well enough to do any of it. Hopefully this doesn’t last long, but throwing up in the middle of the night doesn’t reassure me. I’ve never done that before in my pregnancies.

Easton starts school a week from Monday. My very own kindergartner. I think he’s ready and I know he’s excited. I hope he loves it, and I hope he’s smarter than all the other children. Is it bad that I want that? I wanted to have him reading better before he started. I’ve been doing a reading book with him, Learning to Read in 100 Easy Lessons, and I really like it so far. It amazes me how much he can read already. Words like eat, seed, read, and short words using m, a, s, t, r, d , e, and i. Just by sounding them out, not by memorization.  I just want him to feel like he knows what he’s doing, and I don’t him to be behind.

I better go and try to get done all the things that I need to today. And hopefully this sickness goes away so I have the motivation to get it all done.
