The cut was small but deep, and the amount of blood was unnerving. We took her to the ER and they ended up glueing it and it already looks much better. <br>However, I was holding her hand while they glued it and was trying to distract her, so I made jokes like, "they're doing a craft project! Maybe they'll put glitter on you head! Or feathers! Or googly eyes!"<br>When we left, she promptly asked where her glitter, feathers and eyes were. So that lead to the creation of this headband :)Abbeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15847924513767677801noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545892.post-43584558176542511002012-03-22T22:59:00.000-05:002012-03-23T11:41:01.636-05:00Warning, blood ahead!This whole week has been enough of a week for me and it's not even over yet.<br>> Yesterday, while picking up Ethan from school, Hannah took it upon herself to run all the way home by herself. Her answer as to why? "because I wanted to." ugh. Luckily she was safe, but the fact that she got all the way home and inside so quickly is just another reminder of how fast things can happen when you turn around for one second.<br>> As if that weren't enough, last night (yes it all happened in one day) grant fell off the couch (read: Hannah kicked him off) and split his ear open on the corner of the coffee table. We didn't take him to the ER last night because there wasn't a lot of blood and it clotted pretty quick. This morning though, the swelling and bruising made it look a lot worse so after taking him to the pediatrician, they had us take him to the ER to see if they might need to stitch it. Paul took him and I took E and H home. We made him some get well cards and waited for their return.<br>> After a short 2 hour visit, they decided there wasn't really anything they could do because of the location on his ear. So he's home now and we've just got to keep it clean and keep ointment on it. <br>> This kid is a head injury magnet, so I'm hoping he doesn't hit it again before it heals. :/<br>> He's doing much better than me, as you can tell by the smiles below. I'm a stress case though and wondering what's on the slate for tomorrow???!!!<br>>

This is not unusual, sometimes a simple thing like someone shutting the door, can provoke a blood curdling scream of terror from her, so I didn't freak out. I asked her what was wrong and she told me Grant had thrown a cup at her foot. I thought, "Ok, not big deal, even if it was full of milk, a sippy cup can't do that much damage." I told her to sit down and it would feel better in a minute. Within an hour, her big toenail had turned completely purple and she was complaining about the pain. Wherever she moved, she walked on the side of her foot to avoid discomfort. Sunday morning she woke up and told me how her foot hurt still. I took one look at it and realized this was no little boo boo. I asked her to show me what "cup" Grant threw at her, and she said, "come here, I'll show you." I replied," why don't you just go get it and bring it to me?"<div>She walks away and returns with a 16 oz can of Boston Baked Beans and states, "THIS is the cup he threw at me!"</div><div><br></div><div>Um, wow, go ahead and give me my 2012-Mom of the Year award. I felt terrible! I didn't take her seriously at all. Though she is similar to the boy who cried wolf, she obviously has a high pain tolerance as well!</div><div>We've debated taking her in as the toenail has now begun to lift off (I know; <i>gag</i>), but today, the pressure decided to relieve itself so there's no need for the doctor to do anything with it.</div><div>I will save the faint at heart from having to look at the pictures I took this morning, however, since I know some people in my family are weird...check them out at our flickr sight if you're curious.

It seemed like just yesterday Paul was getting called into duty for the day and I was yelling at him telling him I'd surely go into labor if he did!!! (and I did!)<div>She is becoming a real princess every day. She loves to play dress up in beautiful dresses, crowns and shoes. She says words like "interesting" and "complicated", though I'm still not certain she knows what they mean. She's BFF with Louie and she's already started asking us if she could get a pet that's all hers. (she wants a cat though and since there would be a risk of me basically dying if one entered our home, it won't be happening)</div><div>She loves her pasta, playing school and she changes her name every day to something like "Shoktee" or "Kydoo". She calls me beautiful and her daddy handsome multiple times a day. Even though times are very tough for the average 4 yr old, she's learning how to manage a little better each day. For instance, when she lost her "very special rock" last week, she only cried for 30 minutes as opposed to the usual 3 hour melt down. </div><div>She is certainly a blessing to our family and we are so thankful for her. </div><div>Happy Fourth Birthday Hanna Banana Grandma!!!!!</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><a

Beds for Boys!I know, I know, most of you are thinking, "BOUT DANG TIME!!!" (or other mean thoughts) and to that I say, if you would like to come volunteer to do my dishes and laundry for me, I will post things in a timely manner. That's the deal. Any takers? Any??!! yeah, didn't think so... :)<div>Ok so! Exciting! We finally got the beds painted! However, only one of them is done (both coats), so that's what I've got pictures of. The main reason Grant's bed isn't finished is 1. he's still a little too small for a twin size bed and 2. We don't technically have a twin size mattress to go in his new bed, so it wouldn't matter much if we got it in there anyway.</div><div>Again, a HUGE shout out to my dad for helping me execute this design and turn an inspiration from a $1200 bed into a $300 DIY memory!!!</div><div><br></div><div>Enjoy!</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik7UXJXsb2892Wp2gWNn3AVWtgY5RCgD5p23MVUeE8TeyGSSw9IJnbQwNLwZj2PURK-WLuGTaS0MvlKggFkLkJwHmdOjM4AxTCPvpjrg8Lxe_xD4NJhjIR5GDLkZ2q0IN5KaCucQ/s1600/IMG_5423-708644.jpeg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik7UXJXsb2892Wp2gWNn3AVWtgY5RCgD5p23MVUeE8TeyGSSw9IJnbQwNLwZj2PURK-WLuGTaS0MvlKggFkLkJwHmdOjM4AxTCPvpjrg8Lxe_xD4NJhjIR5GDLkZ2q0IN5KaCucQ/s320/IMG_5423-708644.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5699140320834103890" /></a></div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZsboGqqd7TC6jHSRe4uErZVO0Ba1Bb3DZQixzcP5UJwIIXzDI1jOJjX37Sx_fhWJhyphenhyphen5QLCzV_69rSgH6LYIma7TnVClxKwj-ooKZSAUvx2dv1JLx1ynDS0Ky65ZfcPYMYVWjNdQ/s1600/IMG_5428-713484.jpeg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZsboGqqd7TC6jHSRe4uErZVO0Ba1Bb3DZQixzcP5UJwIIXzDI1jOJjX37Sx_fhWJhyphenhyphen5QLCzV_69rSgH6LYIma7TnVClxKwj-ooKZSAUvx2dv1JLx1ynDS0Ky65ZfcPYMYVWjNdQ/s320/IMG_5428-713484.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5699140339830583858" /></a></div><div>Grant really likes his little secret sleeping area :)<br><div apple-content-edited="true"> <div style="word-wrap: break-word;

We took a trip to Caspers Regional Park today. I's about 25 minutes north of our house and a little inland. After the rainy day we had saturday, we were blessed with a gorgeous day today so we took advantage.</div>
<div>
Here's a few shots we took while we were there!</div>
<div>
Hope everyone is well!</div>

We're having Ethan's birthday party a little early this year because of our move, and I thought I'd share his invitations I made. I made a simple address label with all our event info on it and stuck it on the back of the invite. He told me a few weeks back he wanted a Star Wars party. And then 2 days ago I was informed that it is a Star Wars / Marine party. He wants a half star wars-half marine cake. I'm not really sure how I'm going to pull that off so let's just hope it changes before the weekend.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
He's really excited about all his friends being able to come to his party before we leave for California. We're doing a garage sale on Friday and Saturday, and then his party will be Sunday. It'll be a busy weekend but I'll be sure to post pics of the party as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hope all is well.</div>

I knew I was gonna recover it someday and it took a while to find the right fabric (which I also nabbed for a steal of $4/yard!!).<br />
It took me a month to get it done, but today I finally completed it!!! I'm so happy it's done, because it's one less thing out of the garage, and because it looks awesome!!!!<br />

My First Half Marathon is DONE!!! I can not believe it, I stopped training 2 weeks into training. I got pneumonia, or the flu, (they never really gave me a clear diagnoses). I never really started training again since it took me 4 weeks from start to finish to feel better. It was a rough go. However I was still determined to do the half marathon. (And so was Paul as he paid for registration at that point).<br />
<br />

This was at sunrise.</div><br />
<br />
<br />
I was pretty good up till the 6 mile point, and I had to go pee really bad. Anyone who runs can probably tell you how uncomfortable it is when you have to pee. Once I stopped at the "rest stop" I never got my mojo back. Around mile 8 my right foot got a cramp. Pretty bad. By mile 10 I was favoring it and then my left knee started to act up. THrough all of this, my (God bless him) motivating husband was right next to me pushing me to keep going. "He kept saying annoying things like "It will al be worth it", and "you can do this", and the real zinger, "it's better than being home with the kids". Around mile 11, he said, "If you finish, there's a prize for a month's worth of free childcare", it made me laugh and run a little faster at the same time. :)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlw0xcqU2llISihibt0KU7f2Jy1TKo7QB5xzsuZ7NoQavc4Iw50d4-DtxLtkAJfhVYVgqHaB7Bq8jfvMa6iqVaIGT_dRcYiXPXtH5qSAVFJKZYADoCYgZLppwVx7FhfmYdgc7qXw/s1600/marathon2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlw0xcqU2llISihibt0KU7f2Jy1TKo7QB5xzsuZ7NoQavc4Iw50d4-DtxLtkAJfhVYVgqHaB7Bq8jfvMa6iqVaIGT_dRcYiXPXtH5qSAVFJKZYADoCYgZLppwVx7FhfmYdgc7qXw/s320/marathon2.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>The feeling of crossing the finish line was an overwhelming surge of emotions. I could not believe I did it. When I put that medal around my neck I can't tell you how filled with pride I was. It was amazing. My finish time was 3:00:20.<br />
<br />
Now let me finish by telling you I AM NOT A RUNNER. In fact I haven't been "running" since the race. But I want to start again. Since the news about moving, I haven't used any of my free time on me or fitness, but I will try and start soon. I honestly can't believe I did this. I heard about the race and thought, I want to do that, and before I knew it, I was at the start line thinking "what have I gotten myself into?!"<br />
<br />
In the end, it <i>was</i> all worth it, I <i>did</i> do it, and it was great to spend that time with my man (sans kids). So it looks like he was right.<br />
The only thing I'm waiting on is my coupon for childcare...hmm...<br />

I found the overall "look" I was going for.<br />

</tbody></table>But I didn't want a flimsy pressboard POS that I had to put together and replace after one move with the military. So then I explored buying a real hardwood desk but I saw the price tags grow, and that just wasn't an option.<br />

I drew him up some pretty rickety plans and along with these pics, he was pretty confident we could build it. </div><div>We started the project back in December, but since I don't have a table saw (**birthday's coming up, Paul...just sayin**) the cuts weren't square and he wasn't going to "make it work" and have it turn out crappy, so we waited for his next visit when he could bring his saw down and do it correctly. </div><div><br />

But it is life changing...<br />
We're moving a little earlier than expected!<br />
<br />
Our original PCS (permanent change of station) day was around the May 2012 time, but they've made some changes with the recruiting station and our move date has moved up because of it. Paul has a check in date of Sept 30th at Camp Pendleton in SAN DIEGO CALIFORNIA!!!!! Woot Woot!!!!!<br />

I can not tell you how excited I am for this move!!! Moving sucks, yes, but we were wanting Camp Pendleton for our next duty station anyway and now it's just earlier than expected!!!<br />
We are going to try and have a major garage sale, sell the house and visit with family in MI within the next 4 months and hope to have enough time to enjoy a road trip of our drive to CA.<br />
The best part of this is Paul's brother got the same duty station!!! We'll be by family out there and<br />
my new SIL will be introduced to military lifestyle in Southern Cali!<br />
I know a lot of people who have been there, are there and have just gotten there so I look forward to sharing the experience with them!!!<br />
Tennessee has been good to us the short time we've been here, and I'll definitely miss some great friends I've made, but I can't say I'll miss the weather. And as someone who grew up in MI, I'm very much looking forward to sunny days the majority of the year!<br />
Hannah's already running around saying "me and mommy are going to be California Girls!" And Ethan was VERY excited to learn about Lego Land right outside base!<br />
<br />
<br />
Keep us in your thoughts and prayers over the next few months, it'll be a busy, stressful time, but we know it will be worth it in the end.<br />
<br />
(I pray an earthquake doesn't hit the day after we get there.)<br />

<br />
<br />
Well, it's been an interesting 2 years. Today marks the anniversary (being that it's Good Friday) of the <a href="http://www.wsmv.com/weather/19146520/detail.html">Deadly Tornado</a> that ripped through Murfreesboro in 2009, 3 days after our arrival to the states. As you can imagine, I'm delighted to see blue skies this afternoon.<br />
We've had eventful weather since then, to say the least. It seems like whenever we get to a new duty station, we bring the "worst case scenario" weather with us. Okinawa used to get tropical storms that would shut down the base for days...before we got there. After we arrived, typhoons came few and far between and when they did hit, it was always on a Friday afternoon. They also didn't have any real catastrophic winds...before we got there. 2 years in, we had a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhoon_Nari_(2007)">record Typhoon</a> that flooded some areas and required weeks of cleanup.<br />
Then, TN.<br />
Ahh, good ole Tennessee. "Oh, the weather's beautiful!" and "Snow!? It HARDLY snows in Middle TN!" were amongst many of the rave reviews we got about Tennessee's climate before and upon our arrival. Two years in and we've had "<a href="http://www.murfreesboropost.com/summer-starts-with-record-breaking-weekend-cms-17801">The most humid summer</a>", "<a href="http://www.srh.noaa.gov/news/display_cmsstory.php?wfo=ohx&storyid=51976&source=0">The 100 Year Flood</a>", and an ice storm that was "<a href="http://tennesseewx.com/index.php?topic=2388.0">The worst middle Tennessee's seen in a LONG TIME!</a>"<br />
<br />
Really!? What is it about the Bertolone family that brings the bad weather out? Don't get me wrong, there's been a lot of GREAT weather too. It just seems like when it's bad, it's as bad as it can get.<br />
The last few weeks have been stressful to say the least. Paul's been out of town a lot and it seems like every other day we're getting severe thunderstorms, 50MPH Gusts of winds, or Tornado warnings. With the only safe area in the house being the half bath off the kitchen, it's safe to assume things get pretty tight, and I'm definitely waiting until the last possible moment to get 3 kids and a dog in there and hunkered down.<br />
My plants have been "flooded out" and all the petals have been blown off my tulips where they lay drearily on my concrete front walk.<br />
<br />
Now it might sound off that I'm even typing this today, what with the sun shining and birds singing away outside my window. But that's the strange thing about TN, just this morning, it was overcast and rainy. I really thought we'd be inside all day.<br />
Also, the weather affects not only my sinuses but my mood. I've been less productive lately. Usually I find myself knee deep in 4-5 crafts/home improvements at any given moment. I've had zero motivation and have watched more tv than I care to admit.<br />
While out with a friend during a surprise thunderstorm I told her, "I can't take this anymore!", she replied, "This is April in Tennessee, remember?!"<br />
<br />
It's all perspective though, here's the <a href="http://tennesseewx.com/index.php?topic=2698.0">Top Ten in Ten</a> worst weather happenings in TN. And I'm really glad I wasn't around for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Super_Tuesday_tornado_outbreak">this one</a>.<br />
<br />
Well, I hope this all clears up soon, so I can start complaining about the hot and humid weather!<br />
