Happy Black Friday

Well another year is almost over. I can remember last Thanksgiving and how EXHUASTED I was (I actually slept on his Grandma Hansens couch last year and was kind of anti social - I couldn't figure out what was wrong with me but we all know now lol). I was surprised that our little guy did so good. I don't know why I'm so surprised. He doesn't hardly see Mom or Dad when we visit anyone b/c everyone else takes their turn lovin on him. I don't know of another kid that gets so much LOVIN! Buzz and I have been doing our P90X workouts (including the diet) and I'm down about 12 pounds now and Buzz is somewhere around 10 pounds down. The food is delicious and everything but OH MY GOSH!!! Yesterdays food was AMAZING!!! However, after not eating alot of heavy foods, carbs and sweets, for almost a month, I kindof got nauseous lol. But it was worth it. Daddy gave Hurley some gravy to try (we dipped his binky in gravy and let him suck on it). After a couple of trys I think he actually started to like it.
I also took Hurley to the Dr. for the 1st time Monday (besides his well child checks) because of some congestion that he's had for over 2 weeks. I just wanted to talk to my Dr to make sure I was doing everything I could for him to get him feeling better. I found out that I was doing everything (literally - from vicks to the humidifier to the nose drops) and we just had to wait it out (that made me feel good). Come to find out, it was a good thing that I took him b/c he was getting a little ear infection in his right ear. So he's been on antibiotics since monday. He was cute the first time I gave it to him. He looked at me like "what the heck is this?" But after a second or two, he sucked it right down. What was even funnier was giving it to him when it was cold out of the fridge. He knew the taste but I think the temperature change freaked him out a little lol. He's used to it now though.
Oh.... Buzz started work in Vernal this week - ugh! He left early Monday morning and came back Wednesday night. He goes back Monday will come back Friday and hopefully he only has to do it one more week after that. Hurley and I miss him SO much while he's gone, but he's a very good Husband and Father and does what he has to do to provide for us. I can't believe how luck I am to have such a wonderful man in my life! I hope our son grows up to be just like him!!!
Well today is Black Friday!!! Buzz and I have been doing black friday at Wal-Mart for the past 7 years now. It's about the only tradition that we've started and kept doing together. We even took Hurley! We went to Wal-Mart at 1:30 this morning and scoped out the hot items. We found what we wanted and waited. I bought a sling earlier this week THANK GOODNESS!!! Buzz wore it with Hurley sitting on his hip for about an hour. I was surprised he even stayed awake. It was the middle of the night, but he loves to spend time with his daddy. When he started to get tired Buzz brought him over to me and I laid him down in the sling. He snuggled right in and passed out for the rest of the night. Through the chaos and all lol. It was crazy cuz the item I wanted was a 500 thread count sheet set for $20. They brought the pallet of sheets out about 20minutes before 5 (when the sale started) and here I am standing there with my little boy in his sling, sleeping and cuddled up to his mom and I'm ready to jump in for my sheets lol. When the time came, I bent down to grab my sheets and some dumb lady behind me put her hand on my back and was kinda pushing me down to try and get to some. Thankfully I was able to keep my balance and get back up. One thing I learned today - It's amazing the things you can do one handed when your a mom. I kept one hand on Hurley and kept him safe and was able to grab 2 sheet sets with the other. Buzz and I talked mom into black friday last year and Gia and I talked her into it again this year. Tim and Gia are also on their 2nd year lol. It's the craziest dumbest thing to do, but we totally scored. It's so worth it!!! So all in all Tahna, Tim and Gia got their TV's they wanted, Mom got her sheet sets and some luggage, Buzz got his 8 GB mp3 player and I got my sheets. We also price matched about 15 DVD's (movies and TV seasons) and scored there as well! We LOVE black friday!!!
Well, I've blabbed enough. I hope everyone had a very Happy Thanksgiving. I know we did. I have ALOT to be thankful for every year, but this year I am especially grateful to have a wonderful husband! I don't know of a better man out there. And of course for our baby boy!!! I couldn't imagine life with out him. He brings a smile to my face EVERYDAY!
