overview

So I have not been very good at keeping this site updated and feel that it's not going to get any better either. Brad is continuing to heal slowly and has a long road to recovery with his eye. I am working full time and he is at home with Jillian. She took a little while to adjust since she had been going to the learning center every day. Her and Daddy know how to push each other's buttons...

We have been pretty mellow as money is tighter that it was even before the eye surgery. We took Jillian to the zoo, and made it to the Circus Parade with my sister in law and niece. Jillian is now sleeping in her bed again(for the most part) for the bribe of 3 JellyBelly's if she goes to bed and wakes up in her own bed including naps which has worked well so far. She randomly decides sometimes that it is ok to wake up like at 2 0r 3 in the am and wants to watch cartoons!

I am almost off orientation and should start 12 nocs in 2 weeks which I am excited about. That will allow for me to much more time at home. I think that is it for now.

4th of July Weekend

We spent a low-key holiday weekend since Brad isn't allowed to do much these days with all of his restrictions plus he doesn't seem up to socializing much these days. Jillian and I went to the park. She hasn't rode her bike since last summer so she needed some practice but made it to the park and back. We all napped and then went to Nana and Papa's house. Brad's aunt and uncle were there and one of his sisters so not too many people. We all came back to our house and were able to see the Jackson Park fireworks from our front porch. We didn't watch them all since the mosquitoes were in full force. Brad revisits the surgeon early on Monday so we'll see what is in store for us the next couple of weeks...

Jillian awake before Momy and Daddy

So this is how Jillian greeteed me in our bedroom this am. Full head of clips and high heels with her pj's. Apparently she was up for a awhile before waking us up! I am working pm's to be at home with Brad and J most of the day and can't fall asleep when I get home and then end up (trying) sleeping late and Jillian is still up at 7am. Hopefull we can get back on schedule soon and I can get on my 12hour nights.
