Worst sound in the world

I have found out what the worst sound in the world is. Let me set the mood first. I am pretty sure I have sinus infection and last night was wanting to just go to bed around 7:30. Alex was at my mother's so I called and asked for them to bring him home. He comes home a little after 8 and I immediately start getting him ready for bed.

I was in no mood to go through the usual bedtime ritual, so I decided to let him just sleep in my bed to save myself from having to read 2 long stories in the dark(so JJ would be waken by the light).

So we get into bed and Alex is tossing and turning and I keep threatening to send him back to his own bed(real great, hah, using his bed as punishment), when suddenly I hear him gagging. I hurring and turn on the light to find him throwing up all over John's side of the bed. I hurry and get him out of bed and rush him to the bathroom, with him puking all the way. Call my mom to see what he ate(which turned out to be ALOT of grapes), call John to inform him he is sleeping on the couch(which he said he totally enjoyed this morning), grab towels and clean up the puke and lay down over the wet spots, so we can go to sleep.(I was in no mood to find new sheets, so I improvised. Alex threw up 2 more times(luckily this time in the trash can I put by the the bed, before he finally went to sleep.

Luckily he is feeling better this morning, even though I did find him in the bathroom this morning, (apparently whatever grapes were still in his system were making their way out) and he had diahrrea all over the floor and I got to clean that up also.

Needless to say I got no sleep last night, have a killer headache, sent John to church with the boys, and am on my way to Walmart to get some sinus meds once I find the keys.

Turning over a new leaf

I decided I was sick and tired of how I felt about my body, so I decided I wanted to loose some weight. But not just loose weight, actually get fit, so for the past week I have been doing Denise Austin workouts every morning and a couple nights also. Already I feel better, my pants are loose in the thighs now. I am just so happy to actually see results in 1 week. And I have lost 5 lbs already. Totally awesome!!

Today was the first workout just on abs I had done. WOW do I hurt now!!

My new baby!!!

Here is the newest addition to the Schimek clan. I know some people think we need another dog like we need a hole in the head, but we got him anyway. Our other dogs are basically outdoor dogs, so this is our house dog.


He is a pure breed pug, that my mom gave us out of her batch of puppies. His name is Bucky(Alex named him after his favorite singer, Bucky Covington) and he is a sweetheart. He is already proving to be better behaved and easier to handle than Rowdy. Alex drags the poor dog everywhere he goes. I feel sorry for the poor little guy. The other dogs are awesome with him.
