So this morning I got a speeding ticket - or rather negligent driving ticket - which is bad...really bad. I don't know what I am going to do. I think he did it because he told me I made an unsafe lane change and was speeding - I admitted to the speeding but my lane change was not unsafe - I saw the cop...I used my turn signal. So when I ( Read more... )

Well, Ashley has a double ear infection, pink eye, and the start of a sinus infection. She has been miserable. I feel so bad for her. It was kind of funny - she has been in bed with me and when she wakes up in the morning, her eyes are crusted shut and she can’t see. This came out of nowhere…she was fine Friday and then bam…green goo everywhere ( Read more... )

My sisters baby, Jason was born on Monday at 11 pounds 12 ounces - huge. He is adorable. He is in the NICU now...all of his blood tests have come back abnormal so they think it may be an infection. We won't know anything until tomorrow. However, I talked to my sister this morning and it seems he is responding to the antibiotics and the levels ( Read more... )

Saturday we hung around the house in the AM..then my husband came home and we started pouring the footers for our deck. Ashley hung out in the PNP...and then the rains came - it POURED...I had to drag the PNP into the garage and then run around and try to cover up the concrete that we poured so that it wouldn't be ruined. In this time (I checked ( Read more... )

Well, the AC was a non event thank god...DH called a friend and he came by - apparently not only was the unit dirty (he told us we should never mow the lawn with the ac running because then it pulls in dirt and grass) a tube was clogged (with dirt and grass) which was causing the water to back up and freeze and then it was thawing all over the ( Read more... )

Well, DH hired some contractors to come clear our yard, remove some trees and dig some holes..I knew it was going to be expensive..DH kept telling me it would be under $2000..well, it was more than double that. Then last night, we go down in the basement - there is water everywhere...the air conditioner froze (how the he11 does that happen) and is ( Read more... )

Serioulsy - she has slept 12+ hours two nights in a row..I had to go in and wake her Monday and Tuesday morning. Someone stole my baby - this can't be Ashley! Diaper rash is cleared up, she is standing on her own and is so proud of herself. It is just the cutest thing ( Read more... )

Turns out Ashley's diaper rash was much worse than I thought- I got a call from daycare yesterday that she was extremely fussy and miserable so I took her to the doctor. Kind of pathetic that it took a call from the teacher to get me to take action - I don't know what I was thinking. It is yeast so I have a cream the doctor gave me..she was a bit ( Read more... )

I don't know what Ashley's deal is...she was up last night at least 8 times between 10-1:30 and then decided to wake up for the day at 4AM...WTF?? It is like we are back to square one with the sleeping...One step forward, ten back. I am so frustrated and tired and ready to just strangle her. I felt like a zombie as I drove to work today and I ( Read more... )

Had a busy weekend. Saturday we just ran a lot of errands and cleaned. Saturday evening we went to BIL for a party. Ashley stayed with us until about 6:30 - then we took her home and the sitter met us there - we hired her teacher at daycare to watch her and it worked out so well. It was so nice to have an evening to myself and DH..I didn't know ( Read more... )
