Full of SUPRISES!!!

Goodbye Texas, Hello Kansas!!!
Well, I have never thought in my 8 years living here that I would ever say that!! Needless to say, I AM!!
It all began as a joke from one of Donnie's great friends and ended up for real. There of course were a lot of factors in this decision. First, the pay. Of course, I would be getting payed less, but Donnie more. So, we kinda make out a little less than here but we would not have to pay for day care. Jett was a huge factor. I do not feel comfortable leaving Jett with a sitter if he were sick and I had a ball game. We had thought that maybe we could stay here take Jett to daycare (which would have been a great mother of one of my old softball players) and me not coach. Me not coaching here would have not allowed us much spending money or saving. Thus, bringing us to being able to have a night to ourselves every once and awhile. We do not have family here, just Bubba and I am sure he would have taken great care of Jett like he would a case of beer. I do have great friends that I have known since I have moved here that I would totally trust with Jett, but they live 30minutes away. We would have to drive to them, just to see a movie. I have some teenage softball players that I would trust, but they can't drive yet. Thus, having family around would allow us to have a night to ourselves every once and a while and for me to possibly coach, if I wanted?????
I have tried and tried to come up with great excuses not to leave, but they all kept pointing north.
We will be staying with Mick and Joe for a while. Donnie starts in a week and I will go sometime in June, maybe end of May, depending on my house.

How Time Flys Bye

OK, so it has been since the beginning of March that I have posted. I do not know where to begin. Well, we had tons of company, OK, only 2 families that would equal 4. First the Keatings came with 2 extra of the Hernandi. Jett was totally spoiled, I don't think I got to hold him when they were here. We went to the mall, Walmart mall, and Walmart..LOL. I must say Jett slept awfly well with all the loud noise. One day the Keatings went to the zoo, I thought that I would be able to get some work done, but NO, he was wide awake and wanting momma. I think it was just too quiet for him to sleep. Jett loves his cousins and they love holding him and playing with him.
Then the Hernandi came. They all were not here at once, the Keatings left on a Tuesday and the Hernandi came in on that night. My brother Beat aka The Vagi, Kyle, Sarah, and Annalise, took care of Jett for a couple of days while Donnie and I worked. I must say, my house was clean, dishes and all??? It really helped us out. Vagi would watch my dog and then I would watch his at night so him and Donnie could go have some quality time.
I went back to work after spring break. My mom and dad came back to Dallas to watch Jett till the end of the school year. We are lucky to have them here. My first week back to school and softball was exhausting. Softball, we of course get out around 5:30-6ish, then have to sometimes stop at the store and by the time I get home, it is 7-7:30ish. By this time, I have to eat, feed Jett, sit and relax for a minute and then get ready to go to bed. It is rough! I have no time to cook or clean. My mom and dad have been doing it, real NICE!
Donnie finally got off on weekends and we have not had a full weekend together. I have had make up Saturday games and Easter weekend. So, hopefully this weekend I will not have a rescheduled game.
Well since the beginning of February, Chanute has lost a lot of great people. One dear to our family, could not fight any longer and passed away before the Easter weekend.
Thus, Easter weekend, we went back to C-town, Jett's first visit. He met most of the family and some friends, and some we did not get to see that we wanted to see.
Before we went to Ctown Jett had 5 shots the Thursday before. He did really well, he cried less than a minute but when he woke up to stretch his leg, he cried!!! No fever either!!
When we were in the doctor's office Jett had started to get a little cough. Over the Easter weekend, it had progressed to a worse cough. So, Monday we had to take him to the doctor's in Ctown. He tested positive to RSV and when we got back from Ctown we went to his pediatrician here and now Jett has to take an antibiotic and has to take tons of breathing treatments. I went round and round with the doctor and pharmisist. First the prescription was not at the right pharmicy and then one treatment, my insurance did not cover and it was $700. Yeah crazy, so I had to call the doctor again, mind you I get charged $17 for every page of the doctor.
By 9pm we finally had his prescription.
Jett is also balding. Yes, he looks like his daddy now...LOL I wonder what color his hair will come out to be next.

Here are some pictures, sorry I have not been blogging, I will try my very bestest to get my butt back on every week!!
