Hey ya'll! Hope you had a fabulous weekend! Our's started off great. We were lazy bums Friday with our normal Mexican food to-go and catching up on DVR after Tanner went to bed. Saturday was uneventful...until night time hit. We had put Tanner to bed and then we heard him crying an hour or so later. I went to check on him and he had gotten sick. And I mean really sick. This was the first time in 22 months that he has ever vomited. I was praying this day would never come because I didn't know how I could do it. BUT I did...Auntie Cates, you'd be proud =) She totally gets what I'm saying here. Anywho. We didn't go to church Sunday, obviously, but I was really looking forward to going. Maybe we'll make it this coming Sunday. Tanner got better and ate a little bit and played on Sunday...yay! We were getting back to normal. Actually lets back up...nope not really. Yesterday he was totally clingy (which I loved every second of), but he never got sick again. Until today. It wasn't vomit this time. But it was bad.

| Sunday snooze...my poor baby! Breaks a momma's heart to see them sick! |

| Monday morning snuggling with momma! |
I'll stop there. No need to gross ya'll out anymore than I already have. Especially if you don't have kids yet {I promise this is all normal...it happens to all moms}. Lets just say I've done about 8 loads of laundry in the past 3 days. I've washed my hands so much that they're raw. I've changed sheets on his bed too many times to count. Mr. Bear has been washed so much that I hope he makes it out alive this go round. I need a tropical vacation asap.
I had originally planned to write about some recipes and a few other things, but since my mind is so not here I'll show ya'll what I've finished in my dining room. Seriously though, you have to just keep going and do your best as a parent when stuff like this happens. I feel so horrible and sad for my sick Tan man, but I gotta keep truckin and do everything I can to get that sweet boy better.
I ended up putting a verse that I found on Pinterest {surprise lol} that I loved on the chevron canvas. It was a pain. I spent weeks trying to figure out how I was going to get it on there and then it dawned on me that I could print it on burlap to go along with the rest of the burlap pieces. That was a nightmare, but I accomplished it. I cut the burlap to the size of a piece of paper (8.5 x 11) and taped it on cardstock. That didn't work out with my printer, so then I adhered it to stabilizer that I use for embroidering. It worked! YAY!! It's hard to get it perfect on the canvas because the burlap moves easily. But I like it! I then hot glued a barn wood looking frame around it that I found at Hobby Lobby.

I didn't want to over-do this room and wanted to keep it simple. I really like the outcome!
It's not finished yet...I still have place mats that are grey that I plan to embroider with a B. Who knows when that will be. Hopefully soon. I've learned that I can only focus on one area at a time. Otherwise I get overwhelmed and become a hot mess. This stuff takes time...a whole lotta time. Patience is the key for me when decorating. And I don't have much patience :/ I'm working it though =)
Hope ya'll have a great rest of your Tuesday. Please say a little prayer for my sweet boy that whatever is up with him will exit SOON!!! We've called the doctor and it could be a touch of a virus or molars coming in. Who knows?! I do know that I'm ready for normalcy again! Until next time...
