A Short Update

I'm back from my marriage retreat.  It was good.  There were some wonderful pieces of information I was able to take away from it.  I would recommend going.  We did benefit a lot from it.

On the home front, things are NOT so good.  Brady is much worse than when I left.  He spent all weekend partying with Grandma.  They ate ice cream, went adventuring, and had fast food.  My mom and I butt heads about this when I got home since Brady is STILL very sick and I wanted him to take it easy.  That did not end well.

So, now I have a mad mom and a VERY sick baby.  I'm drained from the emotions of the day and the weekend.  I'm tired of having to clean up blow outs from my sick baby.  I'm exhausted from having to fight to have my RIGHTFUL word and plan heard.  I'm sick of hearing him scream and cry.  I don't know how much more I can bear before going bananas!  

Hopefully, I will be up to writing Hugged My Heart tomorrow.  I have a meeting and I have work.  And I am SO not rested from the weekend.

  1. So sorry your sweetie is still not better. I know what it is like to have moms not listen and feed kids junk food, I am 100percent sure our generation being grandmas will do a sooo much better job of watching our grandkids! Take it easy dear and dont put the world on your shoulders, you do deserve a rest and especially now with you growing a new life! Take care Ashley, I hope everything gets better soon!

  2. Oh my goodness! You poor girl. I'm so sorry for your MONTH! I know what you're going through with family. I'm struggling with keeping my "rights" and expectations as a mother in tact with family too. I hope you get though it and have a better week.

  6. I'm so sorry, big hugs. Poor little guy, sometimes grandparents think they are doing the "fun" thing and it ends up being worse for the kids. :(
