100.2

Round and round we go. Ugh. I had to call the Dr. again today because I am still sick (got a cold when Mia got sick... who had strep and a sinus infection)... and that turned back into a sinus infection...and I'm afraid I might have Strep. I called the Dr. today, and she prescribed another round of antibiotic, but I'm going to call her again in the morning and see if she'll do the test. I'm miserable. And... this is ridiculous. Aren't parents just supposed to get colds and such when their kid goes to daycare? Not every single fricking thing they get....???!!!!

Seriously, I think my head is going to fall off. My throat is killing me... i'm achey all over and I have a slight fever. My lymph nodes are sore and so are my ears (although, last time I told her that, she said they were fine... it was in my sinuses, actually. Great.)

So there you have it. Boy, can I whine. Please, pass the cheese now.

Peace and wellness...

PS. I checked the antibiotic the Dr. gave me and it is for Strep (among a couple of other things). The last one I was on, was mostly for sinusitis. So... that makes me feel a little better, knowing that this antibiotic might kick in soon and I'll feel better. Please God.

Hats and Bunnies

Just look at that face!!!! When they said she had a 'ready smile', they were so right! Oh how I hope she's always that way!!

Ok, now I'm guessing it appears that I like lime-green, eh? Well... my poor daughter. hehe. Not only is the hat adorable... she was trying to give Mama kisses while I tried to take the pics!! LOL. We got these hats from Sis who got them from a friend. We've been playing with them all weekend. And I was finally able to get a couple of pics.

Oh, and the other one is of her bunnies!! I got a 2nd one, just in case it became one of her favorites... and, it looks like Mama might have been right!!! It is amazing the love you can have for a child.






Peace.

Carseat

I got Lil M a new car seat today. It is pretty nice! It is grey and pink. Girly!



It's called the Alpha Omega Elite in Bella (by Cosco), but I got it at BabysRUs 'cause I had two gift cards to use. Sis told me not to get a new one, 'cause I have one I got for free... but I wanted a cute one. LOL. And since I have to look at it for 3 or more YEARS, I thought I'd go ahead and get it!!! haha. We'll use the other one in Sis' car!!

I asked a guy in the parking lot to help me take out the old one, which was getting too small for her when she has a coat on! So, he did get it out for me, and then I sat there with her in the old one... and the care on in the parking lot and got the new one installed ALL BY MYSELF! Woot!!

Anyway, so, I had three things I wanted to get done this weekend... laundry, clean the floors, and get to the store and get more tissues, juice and chocolate. hehe. I got most of the laundry done, so far. I cleaned the kitchen floor. Fun, fun. And I did get to the store and get the few items I needed. But I didn't get the DVD-R up and running. I even got a converter to see if I can get it to work tonight. Otherwise, I've got to have Mindy look at it. I just can't get it to work... and, yes, I read the directions!!

So, after all that fun stuff, I decided we had to get out of the house again today for a little bit, even though Lil M and I aren't 100% well yet. I can only sit still for so long! I'd run, but I'm still sick.

Anyway, enough rambling. I like the carseat so far. I think Mia does, too. So, let's see!!!

Peace.

TGIF

Lil M is starting to feel better, I think. Finally. :) We have a nice 4 day weekend ahead of us. I can't wait. I am hoping and praying that we are over the major sicknesses for this winter. But, I'm not counting my chickens.

It is supposed to be damn cold here this weekend. Oh fun. So, we're going to stay in and stay warm!!

Let's see... miscellaneous thoughts... I'm registered for a marathon at the end of April. I've got to start getting ready for that. I should start working on a quilt for Lil M this weekend. I haven't been doing that either. I think it is time to get back to some things I used to do.... my hobbies.

I wonder how other families are doing now that they are home from China, like us, for a few months. I try to keep up on some blogs, but I don't think I get a real sense of how others are doing. I think we're doing pretty good, all things considered.

Peace.

Strep

Lil M has strep throat and sinusitis. Booh. She is feeling just awful. She's got a temp of 102.1 again (yesterday and this morning). I had to pick her up from daycare. I took her straight to the Dr., who, thankfully, was able to get her in!

She's on antibiotic and fever reducers. Thank GOD, Sis was able to come stay with her today. She didn't want Mama to leave this morning. And, frankly, I don't blame her. I didn't want to leave her either.

Peace.
