I got nuthin'

T is MUCH better. J never got sick. But, I am downing cough syrup like, well... like I have a cough that WON'T GO AWAY! Argh. Since I have been out of it or almost a week, I promise something tomorrow. For now,back to my thera-flu induced coma.

T was still coughing today...

so Paul took her to the Doctor again. She has developed a double ear infection and Pneumonia. Not good. The Dr. is running some tests to see what we do next.

And I thought she was doing better! Lets hope we can treat this at home.

Sick days...

yep, now I have the crud. Of course it is a beautiful day, and T is feeling good for the first day in forever. Ugh, back under the covers.

Whew!

T seems to be getting better... we will see. She is still really sick, but not so lethargic today.

And, yes, we saw a Doctor. My old pediatrician (now the twins) was roommates with my Father in Med school(who is now an orthopedic surgeon). My Mom also went to Med school, where she met Dad.

Any who....Dad checked out T, and she has pink eye, and a virus. She has a cough, and a fever that is finally controlled with Tylenol. We were worried when her fever was not breaking and she was lethargic. If she had continued down that road then we were going to need to take her to Children's.

Thanks for all your well wishes! Off to watch yet another princess movie!

T is really sick...

she has a nasty virus, and after day 4 she is not better. If she does not get better soon...Children's hospital is in our future. I have NEVER seen her this sick. She is just sobbing...

Please pray for T.

J drew this picture...

last night on Paul's I phone. It's a picture of me with a baby in my tummy. I think he wants a baby. Hee hee.

Whole foods

opens in Lakewood today!!!! Yeah! Now Paul can use that golf cart he insists on buying to go get me milk and eggs!!!

Best Friends

When we went to the zoo, I captured this moment. Actually, they are like this with each other most of the time. Best part of being a twin is you always have a playmate.
I need to frame this one in black and white for my picture wall.

Dear mean guy

at T.J. Maxx, I called another store, and since this is a glass canister that holds food, thus a safety issue, you ARE supposed to exchange my canister!

I explained that it is heavy glass with a pewter top, and where it broke is thin like a Christmas ornament, she said no doubt!

HA! I KNEW IT!

Cleaning fairy...

Please come to my house!

My day started off with one of my canisters breaking, yeah, it got hit with a wooden spoon! And remember what a pain it was to find them? And T.J. Maxx won't exchange because they said that they are a discount store, I get what I pay for, etc.

So...all my cleaning enthusiasm blew out the window.

On another note, do not try to substitute brown sugar for regular in your pancakes. Yuck.

Brrrrrr.....

So, I was wearing shorts on Thursday. AND I spent hours planting my garden. Tonight we are expecting a low of 30!! Now I have to cover all those beds tonight.

I hope next week warms up.

Spring is in the air...

(Springtime in Savannah)

and the spiders are soon to follow.

Last spring three crazy things happened to me in one week.

First, I was outside watching a movie on the computer one night. Well, I had consumed a few with girlfriends earlier, so I was feeling good, watching my movie and TOTALLY engaged. Well...my hand is hanging down and my cat runs under my hand. Then I realize my cat is in my lap. I look over...knocking tables, chairs, cat flying, scrambling to the stairs. Yep. Raccoon looking at me like I am crazy. Then for the next week I convinced myself I had a close call with a rabid raccoon! Looking back, he was probably just young.

Second... It is a pretty day so I have the doors open to air out the house. Well, they were building a McMansion across the street at the time. There were workers everywhere at all times. But that day, none. How did I know this? Because I went to move my vacuum and put it away, I accidentally dropped it. So I put it away, and walk back through the hall. I notice a HUGE brown fuzzy...flower? NO a tarantula that was under the vacuum when I dropped it. I desperately searched for someone to remove it. Even though dead, it took 2 hours to get a bucket on top, cast iron skillet on that, then some bricks for good measure. Paul came home from work to get it for me.

Third...I am pretty skittish at this point. I have just had an allergist appointment for J. He has an epi-pen for some of his allergies. One of these are bees and wasps. I had just set up the slip n slide. Went to get my tea, look up, and my little 3.5 year old in in the middle of a dozen of the biggest wasps I had ever seen! With stealth like movement I saved my baby. They turned out to be cicada killers. Harmless, but HUGE.

Cicada Killers.

Lets see what happens this year!

Ash Wednesday

I am giving up a very bad habit for Lent. Paul is giving up Starbucks. At the Family service today, they told the little kids to do something extra. So they are going to make their beds.

How was your Ash Wednesday?

Lilly love!

I just got this for T for Easter! Cute, cute, cute!
I just won this off E-bay! Wooo hooo! FINALLY, I won something!!! T is very excited, and is already making room in her closet.

About the dogs...

There is an Austin contact if interested. Also, it was suggested it may be a scam...I did a snopes search and came up with nothing. I will send an e-mail out to the one listed to confirm.

Thanks for the heads up! I will keep you posted.
