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. :)

Caught Bare Bottomed.

Yesterday I went to retrieve my kids from playing in the backyard with the neighbors....When I round the corner I behold my 5 year old daughter with her shorts baring her bottom to the 6 year old neighbor boy. Me:  M!  E!  It is time to go home. now! M:  E did it too! (while sheepishly pulling her shorts back up and E snaps his head around to look at me with big eyes and "O" mouth) WHY?

Chicken Adventure Begins

Our first step towards the 'homestead' lifestyle: CHICKENS.  J and I have been researching, reading books & articles, and saving a TON of info to our Pinterest board.  I know we are in for some surprises and troubles, but we are doing our best to head them off and avoid other peoples mistakes. (J is still trying to convince me that we need to start pigs this year.  I keep reminding him that is one of the PRIMARY mistakes other homesteaders have made: being too eager and getting in too deep, too fast). So, we start our garden and chickens this year - keeping our fingers crossed that we aren't putting them in poor locations.  The chickens are the first thing branching out into our additional 2 acres.  The coop and kennel are going at the outside, back corner of our fenced in yard.  Our coop is valiantly being made from old cabinets we picked up at the local Habitat for Humanity, Re-Store.  We intend to paint, add roof, prop up on legs, and insert s...

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.
