sick babies

AS you all know, I babysit cousin Jessica's two girls so she can go to school. Wellllll.....since they are together so often when they're sick we get sick and when we get sick they get sick. It was there turn this time...I think...M got a cold and then they did, then once everyone was better...Jodi got a fever, they went to the doctor, Jodi had a double ear infection and charlotte had one ear infected. Then a couple days later it hit M (right over the weekend of course). She got a fever on Thursday night and wouldn't sleep more than an hour...I was up with her every time and eventually sent J to the couch so M and I could be awake, or asleep, without interrupting him so he could actually work in the morning. Then she had a fever throught the weekend, but we didn't want to take her to the doctor cuz it would be and ER visit and her fever only got to 102 (which is miserable enough). So, Monday afternoon I took her in and the doctor confirms it: a double ear infection. Anyhow she seems to be feeling better today...after four days of crying, wanting to be held, pushing me away, only wanting dad, then only wanting mom...then just wanting bear and blanket....eh! not much fun! So here I am. School seems to be going well enough, and J is still enjoying his job...not the mud though!! We had the best weather yesterday, I think the high was almost 70!!! I had the door open to the house for awhile! but, of course, today we are back to winter and we're forecasted for up to 5 inches of snow by the end of the day....oh well..it was nice to have the one day! Love you all!! I'm gonna work on my schoolwork now....bleh!

Dude! 70? That's crazy talk, I was here carrying groceries with frozen fingers in -12! Dirty Kansas. And for what it's worth Kenzie sounds just like me when I'm sick. Stubborn and picky. :)

Clearance Puppy

This has been a really crazy weekend. Thursday J got a call from a breeder he had been speaking to 3 or 4 months ago. We were going to go look at a puppy of his (with no real intention of buying) back then, but when we called the breeder said he just sold the last female 2 hours previously. Then on thursday he called to tell J that a buyer backed out last minute and J has first chance at getting her, so Friday we went to see her. She was discounted for us (and b/c she is older now, I think) and much more affordable - and so we brought her home, and her name is Sugar. Sug (shoog) for short. She is very sweet and calm, and listens really well. She is a yellow lab, and for all of you who have read the book or watched the movie - yes, we bought the "clearance puppy"! And actually we stopped at Blockbuster to return some movies and a big Marley & Me poster was in the window and M said :"Is that a picture of Sugar?" - I hope not! Saturday was the last 50 cen...

Stranger Danger

Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.

End of the week

This week has been lots of fun. J's mom, step-dad, sister and nephew all came to stay with us for the week. We've had a lot of fun visiting, playing games, and swimming. I'm so glad they came to visit us, aaallll the way from Idaho! We're lucky they had the time and all came! They are leaving in the morning because his step-dad has to work sunday afternoon! Crazy wonderful people. On another note, tomorrow J and I will have been married 3 years. I can hardly believe it's been three years....absolutely wonderful. I have never made a better decision in my life!
