Last night I fell asleep at 11pm, which for me, is a very rare occurrence. Being someone who doesn’t sleep for long periods of time, I found myself wide awake in bed at 3am.
I tried to go back to sleep but was unsuccessful.
And then I did something I very rarely get to do.
I took a shower without being interrupted by any children.
OH.
EM.
GEE.
I forgot what it was like to not have a kid in the bathroom asking questions, standing between the shower curtains talking to me as my 3 year old likes to do.
No, this morning I took a shower in absolute peace and quiet.
I stayed in that shower for 30 minutes.
I think it may be the best past of my entire week.
Not only did I shower without any kids busting in on my me time, I also watched The Switch which I have been dying to see and am currently watching Due Date and waiting for the Alex to get home from work.
I’m pretty sure I am going to take further advantage of this rare occasion and eat without the worry of having someone sample some of my food too.
Happy Saturday!

Save Money on Lunch and PackIt!
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of PackIt for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
My two oldest children have recently taken an interest in packing their own cold lunch on the days the school hot lunch menu makes them frown. I of course have no objections to this because I know what they are preparing at home is better for them and it also saves me from paying for an overpriced school lunch!
We have looked for the perfect lunch bag for them to use instead of the brown paper bag because we are also learning to be more environmentally friendly. Recently we were introduced to PackIt lunch boxes which is a lunch bag and icepack all in one that stays cold for up to 10 hours! The PackIt is great for students because nobody wants their cold lunch to sit in their locker until lunch time and get warm and mushy.
The PackIt lunch bag is conveniently sized and also folds easily for take and go storage after lunch. it is also non-toxic, sweat proof and PVC and lead-free leaving mom free from worrying!
Right now, for a limited time you can head over to the PackIt Site and take advantage of their BOGO sale and get 2 PackIt’s for $19.95 but hurry before this offer ends!!
To learn more about PackIt lunch boxes please check out the video below.
Tell me, what would you use a PackIt for? Do you like the idea of the PackIt more than the traditional brown bag?
2 Weeks Post-Op
I am happy to report that Zack had his 2 week post-op appointment this week and so far everything is healing very well. He still needs to use both his crutches and wheel chair until he sees the good Dr. S again on December 27th. We are keeping our fingers crossed that at that appointment he will be allowed to try and put some weight on his leg/hip. He has been doing extremely well at staying off of it but cannot wait to be able to walk again.
Since being discharged from the hospital, he has only had 2 accidents and his foot touched down slightly but after seeing the x-rays this week, we are thankful that those 2 little touches did not move anything! He was also happy to have the ends of his stitches clipped finally because they kept getting caught on his clothes.
I am amazed at how well he has been doing adjusting to being in the wheel chair and on crutches and having to miss out on so many things. I am extremely thankful for a child who knows that he needs to get better and he will have the opportunity to do the things he is currently missing out on once again.
We would appreciate it if you could continue to keep him in your thoughts and send good vibes his way. The quicker he heals the sooner he will be able to get back out there and be his 12year old self all over again!
