honeysuckle and such

It's been a long week of work. I've had lots of early mornings and long days. Combine that with constantly screaming babies and you get completely worn out. Don't get me wrong, I love working in the infant room! But 7:ooam to 5:30pm with several colicky babies wears you out. I'm sure all of you moms understand.

Driving home last night (if I must be honest) I was in a bad mood. I was tired and had a headache. I was definitely happy about going home and doing nothing. I parked at the apartment and opened the car door and smelled it...honeysuckle! I LOVE that smell! It reminds me of the playground at Jones Valley Elementary where there is a whole row of honeysuckle along the fence. To me, it's the smell of spring and summer. My foul mood immediately lifted! For Ben's sake I should buy a candle that smells like honeysuckle to keep me constantly in a good mood. For some reason I doubt that would be the same...

Here's a little update on Ben:

The last few shots have been much better for him. He still has the symptoms for about 24 hours but they are less severe. Thankfully his body seems to be getting somewhat used to the medication. I still give him his shots, and I don't see that changing anytime soon ha. Last night he slept through the night after getting the shot, that's so exciting! We are going to see a specialist in Cullman on Monday. We are not expecting to hear anything different but it's always good to get a second opinion on stuff like the meds. We get to spend the night with his grandparents Sunday night so we are looking forward to that. After the appointment we are driving to Bham to see Ray LaMontagne and we can't wait!

Have a good and RELAXING weekend!
