Momma Drama

I am a walking advertisement for why folks should drink their water, I swear!! I thought I was going to blog Thursday. Hell, I couldn't even stay awake to watch ER, and it was a new episode. I suck. Someone needs to hang a canteen around my neck and force feed me salt......

Last Monday.............Took Bunny to the Dr.'s...she had Roseola. She broke out in the rash by the time we got to the office. It was also the anniversary of Trent's baptism. Got the cemetery situation mostly sorted out. I need permission from one person/family to issue new deeds, then I can put the whole snafu behind me. New procedures are in place to prevent it from happening again.

Last Tuesday...........nail day. Now that is exciting! An afternoon alone. Here is the only way to wear pink. Kind of hard to see, pink glitter tips. Heaven knows I need pink glitter in my everyday exciting life. ;) (Don't mind that crooked pointer finger...)

Wednesday...........Regular Dr. appointment day for Devin and Maiya.
Devin's stat's: 39# (60%), 41" (80%), 3 shots handled like a pro, and I need to set her up with a speech evaluation. She has a Boston Rob accent going on and it isn't correcting itself with time, or Dave and I working with her. She has a real problem with her R's.
Maiya's stat's: 22.6# (50%), 30" (50%), lead level was 6 (under 10 normal), she is on the low side of normal on her iron. Gotta get her some more spinach. She did not get her shots that day....no sense adding insult to injury. She was still crabby and spotty, sleeping more than usual. Trent had snack duty at school this day, he took the tulip cookies we had baked and decorated. We picked him up after the girl's appointments, and dropped them all off at daycare. Dave and I went to parent-teacher conference....all is well with the boy. We dropped the oil leaking bastard car off at the shop to be looked at. Picked the kids up and headed home. Bike riding went really well that day for Trent.

Thursday.......another half day of school for Trent. Realtor came and did the house walk-through. Recommendations include: carpeting the upstairs, having the hardwood floors re-finished, scrapping and re-painting the front and side doors, and some easy other cosmetic stuff. Did the village payroll this day. Trent actually rode his bike, by himself this day. Now he just needs to learn how to get started without Dad's help. :) Picked up the car. It was a $50 repair, whoo hoo! It has been a long damn time since we've had a repair that small price wise. The truck is scheduled to go in on Monday.

Friday........half day of school. Picked Trent up went to Subways and grabbed lunch. Took it and everyone to the park for lunch and some playscape time, then to the DQ. Then the kiddies went to daycare and Dave and I went errand running and out to dinner. We were supposed to go to the movies, but nothing but crap was playing. Boo Hoo!! This day was my nephew's 18th birthday. Yikes.....he was born 2 months before I graduated from high school. He found out that day that he has been accepted to NYU. He has also been accepted to WSU and has received a full scholarship there. Way to go Brett!, and Happy Birthday. Way to go to my sister and BIL too!

Last night........Bunny was up at 3:30 am, puking. :( She had grapes at daycare I surmised....as I am a puke sleuth. My guess was confirmed this morning by her siblings. I have only given her grapes once (can't remember exactly when...) and a few weeks ago she had a one-time puking episode. Related maybe? She has puked a few more times....she is sleeping right now. And I am doing laundry, lots of it. The ped. figured she would end up with a sinus infection after the roseola. She does have a loose cough occasionally, I wonder if she isn't getting a bunch of drainage at the back of her throat that is making her cough to the puking point. At any rate.....my poor Bunny! I really hope she pulls out of this soon. I can't afford for her to be 'sick sick', especially since we are tempting the fates right now insurance wise. Never assume that when your husband decides to resign from a job that he has actually checked to see when the insurance ends. ARGH!! We are irresponsibly riding without until May 1st. He needs to call California on Monday and see where our COBRA paperwork is.........

So I have been up since 3:30 am. I gave Bunny a bath, remade her bed and put her back down. I stayed up then, surfing the forums and blogs waiting to see if she was going to be sick anymore. I have a Jimi Hendrix paranoia when it comes to puke and the kidlets. I read that Miss Doxie had a new entry *you know who you are...the dirty bird that tipped me off*, so of course I didn't read it, because I just knew I'd get a good laugh and be wide awake then. I tried to go back to bed at 4:30 am. No go. Kept thinking of that damn Miss Doxie post and the template of my own blog. Help me!! I actually got back up. I'm so tired already! I'm supposed to bake a cake today for my brother. His birthday is tomorrow and we are doing the 3 hour trip each way to his place in Port Huron. Chocolate cake with buttercream frosting. Yum!I also plan on making some Red Lobster Cheese biscuits. All puke depending at this point I guess...........

I finally bought some disks to back up the computer. Bought some CD's to burn some music too. Any suggestions on sites people? Also bought (do you see that mini-van money slipping away?) some photo paper so I can finally print out some pictures I have on the computer from my girlfriend. And new inks and a printer head. I should be in business now huh?

I bought a kitchen scale that is worth something finally, and a large stock pot. What dego woman worth her salt doesn't own a huge stock pot with the strainer insert? "Happy Easter" Dave said. LOL! I think I sold him when I said "Lots of room in here for corn on the cob, and deep enough to fry cannoli shells in."

I am caught up for this year scrapping wise. LOL!! I do have one envelope of pictures to scrap, and I already have the L/O's half planned. One will be of Super Devin.

So. I think that's it for now.
