My honey LOVES me!  He bought me a permanent account!  I'm on LJ forever!!!!!!!!!

Now, I have to learn how to do new stuff.....  Yay!

I'm having problems with uterus.  It's painful.  Very painful.  In tears, doubled over, can't walk, excrutiating... pain.  I'm on the downslope now for the month as far as I can tell, so I can come to work, but I can't move around much.  I'm just going to sit in my chair, take my pain meds (which, honestly, aren't even taking the edge off, but at ( Read more... )

Madelynn has been sick since Friday.  I think today she is finally better.  She ate this morning and a pitched a fit -- both good signs.  She ran a fever for 6 days while on antibiotics.  The doctor thinks she had both strep and a virus at the same time.  I wonder if I have a portion of her virus or if I'm just having a "mom" reaction.  I'm so ( Read more... )

Friday morning Mads had a low-grade fever, but, hey, kids get sick.  Gave her some meds and went to work.  Pete called me at lunch b/c Mads fell asleep around 1230 without eating -- very strange.  When I came home she was burning hot to the touch so I ran to the store and got some tylenol and an ear thermometer.  Her temp was 104.7, so I called ( Read more... )

Wow.  What a horribly boring day.  I actually didn't know a day could be this boring.  I took Mads to Kidd Kamp and dropped off her carseat since they went bowling today.  Then I went to work.  WHERE TIME STOPPED.  I only took, like, 3 phone calls alllllll day.  Then I went to get Mads and they lost one of the straps to her carseat so we had to ( Read more... )

They changed the booster seat law in VA and now kids have to be in them until they are 8. You can read about it here.  I feel for the parents who will have to listen to their kids who have been out of a child seat for a while and now have to go back into one.  I'm also glad they've done it now so when Mads gets to that point it'll be "normal."  I ( Read more... )

Madelynn was in the bathroom doing her thing and I was in the bedroom talking to Pete, feeling (still feel) completely down, and then Madelynn yells, "I'm do-one, Mommy!"  "Mommy I'm done!"  Three minutes later I went to get her.  And found her...

... with her underwear...

... ON HER HEAD!!!

LMFAO

Today I bought organic no-scratch stuff for the cats.  Well... really I bought it for my dining room table b/c I've owned my new tablecloth for less than 24 hours and they snagged it and I found myself uber-ly pizzed off about it.  So, I went to Care-A-Lot pet store (very nice, locally owned store where the people who run it actually know stuff ( Read more... )

It's Friday which is always nice!  Had pancakes and turkey bacon for dinner -- yummy!  Madelynn helps me by dumping the ingredients in the bowl and then helping to stir everything.  After that I take over b/c it's the actual cooking ( Read more... )
