This is my last day of work until Monday! This is a much needed break considering what past 3 days! :)
Saturday Adam and I took of early to go to a door outlet in Portsmouth to see what they had for our house. We found the front door that we want...with the sidelights!! I was so excited. Lowe's quoted us a price of $750 for their brand. We found a Peachtree door down there for $250!!!! However we didn't have time to get it because we needed to get back to pick up Brennen so we are heading down there tonight after work I do believe. I was feeling really bad about asking Adam's parents if we could store it at their house until Chris was ready for it (We have our stuff at 3 different houses and 2 storage units currently!!!!), however after Sunday and yesterday I don't...more on that later. Well that is where the good news ends for me!
After door shopping I went home to pack up Brennen. The plan was to go to Nicole's, wrap my Christmas gifts which she has generously let me store at her house, and then spend Christmas with her family and join in on their very fun passing party!!! Well when we got there Brennen puked...this should have been my first clue. However he wasn't fevered or acting like he felt bad so I chocked it up to just being jostled too much. He only ate about a 1/3 of his lunch...not normal for my BIG EATER...>Should have been my second clue, but I chocked that up to him being at Nicole's and being overly excited. I took him upstairs to take a nap....which he did. While he was sleeping I wrapped gifts and listened as Nicole's family started to arrive. Brennen woke up after about an hour and 45 minutes....he normally will sleep about 2 1/2-3 hours or more. We went downstairs and WOW was it ever packed!!! No joke like 30 people in an apartment!!!! Brennen was very excited at first and was running around with the kids..however they were all (but one) older than him and running up and down stairs which I wasn't comfortable allowing Brennen to do. This resulted in several screaming episodes, followed by a total melt down. At this point I realized it was time to leave, which really upset Nicole, which really upset me :(. I got Brennen bundled up, grabbed only the necessities, and we were off. We went to Walmart (which on the Saturday before Christmas felt calm compared to where we were....). Brennen was riding in the cart w/ his head on my belly and screamed at anyone who stopped to say hi. It was going to be a very quick trip. I bought him a Banana and some milk thinking he might be hungry due to the small lunch. Once in the car he took about 2 bites of the banana, drank his milk, and fell asleep. We drove out to Mammaw and Pap's house and he puked again...leaked through a diaper he had only had on about an hour and didn't want to play! :( We stayed around there the better part of the evening due to him not feeling well....Adam was out hunting. About 7:00 we were all gathered in the living room (My in-laws, brother and sister-in law, and our family...). So anyway Brennen was really getting upset and I told Adam we needed to get him home. He was just driving over to get a few things to hunt with in the morning and was staying the night there. My mom's house (where we live) is only 5 miles from Adam's parents....On the way home I sang Christmas carols very loudly trying to cheer up Brennen....once we pulled in the driveway I realized he was out. Now this is a child who we have NEVER been able to move from the car to the house and not wake him up. Well that night we managed to get his shoes off, his coat off, and lie him in bed w/o him getting up!!!!!
He slept from about 7:15 Saturday to 9:00 am on Sunday! Sunday morning we just took it easy and hung out at the house. About 1 I took him to Eddie and Carol's so that Adam could put him down for a nap while Mom and I went to put grave blankets on. Came home and cleaned his carseat due to Saturday's leaking and puking. I then went over to my in-laws to be with Brennen and see my nephew who was over there. Brennen was feeling a little better which made me happy. After supper we all gathered in the family room again....the entire Montgomery clan. Matthew (Adam's younger brother) had to leave to take Gabriel (my nephew) back to his Mom's. Matthew got home and ran right upstairs. Well on the way to Gabriel's mom's he backed into our car and felt so bad he he wouldn't even talk to us. I went out and yea down the passenger side was a pretty good scrape and dent but I really wasn't that upset. I was the one trying to talk him out of being upset. Oh and I forgot to mention that Saturday my heater wasn't working in my car...hit or miss. Wasn't too upset because our friendly neighborhood mechanic was picking it up on Sunday at 5 to change the oil...That's right folks we have a guy that comes wherever we are and picks up our car...changes the oil and checks all the tires and fluids...and then delivers it back for only $30!!!! I consider this a steal considering I never have to worry or wait for a chance to get it done. Anyway he comes back and tells us we probably have serious problems. We were 2 qts low on antifreeze and the heater was working for now...but if it stopped again we needed to let him know....
So yesterday I am really trying to be in a good mood. They were framing the walls at our house which I was very excited about. Had a nice lunch with my husband, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law. Went to Nicole's and picked up a really nice gift I had gotten in the passing party I had missed...and yea down hill from there. The heater stopped again in the car. Got to Eddie and Carol's and Brennen was in a SERIOUSLY BAD MOOD! Then he got in his head he was going to get a ride on the 4-wheeler or the rhino...and it was just WAY TOO COLD FOR THAT! Then we get him bundled up to drive over to our new house to see our walls....and just before Eddie and Carol had walked out to leave to go Caroling....They were stopped in the driveway...They backed into our TRUCK! Down the passenger side was pretty good dents and scratches....So BOTH of our vehicles were hit in less than 24 hours in the same driveway!!!!!
It's just been one of those days...times 3! :) So I am hoping and thinking that today HAS to be better~I will post pics of the cars and our house once I get my laptop back....who knows when that will be. But until then this is probably the last post until Monday. Hope everyone has a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy freaking cow! It sounds like you have had a heck of a day. It sounds like Brennan had a touch of the stomach bug that is going around. Hope you guys manage to keep from getting it.
