SINGLETON FAMILY: May Flowers

Well May has been a hard month. Byron now lives in the valley at his parents house during the week and comes home on the weekends. So I am a single parent during the week. I don't know how people do this ALL the time. I now have to get up earlier to take Kaylyn to work straight from dropping the kids off at preschool. Then I have to go get her when she gets off work. All the way up to the hospital, twice a day.

I myself had to drive myself up to the hospital one day. I woke up one morning, did my morning ritual of throwing up but this time I threw up again after eating breakfast. I drove Kaylyn to work and barely made it back home before throwing up again. And for the rest of the day, I threw up. It was so bad, that is was as bad as when I was really sick with Josiah and Landen (throwing up the lining of my throat). I couldn't keep anything down. I would sip juice or gatorade and nothing worked. I text Kaylyn and told her she needed to find a ride home. She came home for a little while and then I was in bad shape so I text her and asked her to come watch my kids so I could go the hospital. I drove to the hospital, but Kaylyns friend Shaedean came with me to make sure I made it ok. And then another friend picked her up since who knows how long I would be there. Since I was 33 weeks pregnant, they took me up to the OB. They got me hooked up to monitors and had some blood drawn and finally given some medication to stop throwing up and an iv of fluids to rehydrate me back. I think I got back home around 1:30 am. I was exhausted, but I felt so much better. I really can't handle throwing up. I have no idea what brought it on and why it lasted longer than my usual morning throw up.

On the 29th, Byron went to California for more work training. He will be gone till June 8th. So sad. I don't like it when he is gone for so long, but what can you do, right?

Here are some random pics of the kids being silly.

Josiah eating nutella. YUM!!!

Sydney showing me her "cheesy" smile. LOL!

Josiah pretending to be taking a bath with Sydney's baby doll. Silly boy!

We have been house hunting now and I hate it. It's so hard to pick a house with out even seeing it in person. Byron trys to get away from work to look at a few of them, but they are just all so far from where he works and the opposite direction of his parents house. So whenever he does look at a house, he stays the night at his brother Ben's house since they live out in San Tan Valley also. We put a bid in on a house and they relator and I stayed up way late scanning and emailing back documents and it was even her birthday. I felt bad for her. It's 3000 sq ft. 5 bedroom, 3 bath. Living room, family room on a 1/3 of an acre for 133,000. It's a short sale, so who knows how long this will take, but we are willing to wait. Byron said it was a really nice house. I am praying and crossing my fingers that we get it.

I turned 32 this year. It is kinda depressing how old I am getting, cause sometimes I still think I should be like 26 or 28. Sadly, Byron didn't make it home for my birthday. I was pretty bummed about that. OK, A LOT bummed. But with his new job there wasn't much I could do about that. So Kaylyn watched my kids and my parents took me to LaCasita for dinner. It was nice to be able to have a nice dinner with my parents. That weekend, Byron took me to The Pasta House in Pinetop. That was really yummy. That was also my Mother's Day present. However, when he came home, he did surprise me with a dozen red roses saying sorry he missed my birthday. That was nice.

My first attempt at potty training. He thinks it's fun, but he just

sits there and doesn't do anything but wipe his nose.

Landen and Syndey graduated from preschool. It was so cute! I am never prepared with my camera. I had wanted to video the program, but my mom wasn't familiar with her new camera and didn't know how to video it. I would have used my camera, but I am lame and FORGOT to charge it, so it died within the first two minutes. I was so sad and bummed. I had my sister in law Allison video the parts with Landen and Sydney since she was there for Evan also, but sadly I can't copy that because no one knows how to get it off from a mini dvd. So I am sad that I wont have those memories. But I did take some pictures with my mom's camera. They are so cute!
