Can You tell I have been busy?
We have been watering and picking our strawberries so yummy! A very good crop this year!
Planting flowers.
My Mom visited for a few hours 2 sundays ago. It was good to see her and help her get molasis and honey for her food storage
Nathan and I got a babysitter so we could go with his parents to see the only showing in the states capitol of “Young at Heart” the old folks from old folks homes that sing in front of poeple and have a documentary out. That was very cool to see. We got to go with His parents, Joe and Suzie and Aaron and Alice and Kathy. We went out to eat at a pretty yummy chinese food place right before. pretty neat place. I loved the decore, plates, food, and the company I was in.
The girls are riding their bikes to school together with neighbors. It scares me so bad to send them out even with a ton of people, but they are on bikes and they are together.
The Gymnastics recital is on the 25th in the evening near Aaron and Alices I already bought 16 tickets so everyone out here can go, but we havn’t invited them yet, so if you want to come we just spent the money and you are all invited to be there for their Tumbling performance.
They are doing well in Irish dancing. They both got up in fron of their clas to practice for the talent show by having a “Talent Share” with thier class. I brought the music in and got to watch them perform. Hailey was acting very shy and nervous to perform in front of her class. Sierra kept doing 2 things over and over so I havd her di it in all different directions. They look so good as irish dancers. I’m so happy to see them doing it and Sierra wants to practice at home a lot. However today was a BAD day – she was very tired after all her bike riding to and from school and things just weren’t working out for her. I tried to keep her calm and help her as much as possible. It didn’t work. I ended up taking her MP3 Player away from her for a WEEK because she didn’t even go to class – She had one of her famous Sierra Meltdowns – like she has in the past when shes overtired. She did the last 5 minutes of class when I went to ask about the competition and pick Hailey up.
I stopped over at the boutique. I have 77 pairs of Squeaky shoes there waiting to be sold. probaby 20 dresses, 15 dressy shoes(glass slippers), 5 suits, and 5 cherry outfits for girls.
Today I registered for our towns. Town Party Week. I got a booth so I could sell my stuff there.
You know, Squeaky shoes, Dresses, Cookie Lee Jewelry, It’s next Fri from 5-9PM and then Saturday from about 8 am to 9PM so I’m going to try to hire some teens and have soem friends help me out through the day. It’s gonna be crazy, but I think I’ll make a ton of money being out in the croud where I’ll actually be able to sell my stuff. I even got a roving permit so I can go to the fireworks show and sell here too that night – I’m thinking of getting glow bracelets to sell the kids while I sell jewelry to the moms!
I spent a day in the hospital with Zach. He had a temp of 102 one day and the next it was 104 and I couln’t get it to break. It would keep coming back 1 1/2 hrs after we gave him medicine. I’m sure it hit 105 one evening. The next morning he was still under the weather but I tried to go play basketball anways. I threw about 5 shots and he started heaving to throw up. His temp was still up so I made an appointment to see his doctor 1/2 hr later we were in the office temperature 103.8! the doctor checked him, I gave him Morin in front of the doctor so he could make sure I was giving the right dose, I hadn’t been giving him enough before his weight changed so he needed 1 1/2 tsp not 3/4 to 1 tsp. I just didn’t want ot give him too much you know. So Dr.E had him on the exam table and felt his stomach and sides, the poor guy cringed and whinced when his sides were touched especially the right side where his appendix is, so Dr. E sent us upstairs for an exray. The results showed a little something but inconclusive so he sent us on a 21 mile drive to the Childrens Hospital Emergency Room for Blood work, CAT scans and Urinalysis. we were there until 8PM He was fine when we got there, but I had to prove to the doctors that he was really sick so we let his medicine wear off and his temp shot right back up to 103+. So I gave him motrin and the pokes, prodded, tested, SEDATED but he was still awake sedated. It was all very scary and tense and hard to cope with, but we had to check just to rule out anything bad. We missed Sierra’s 1st Grade program it was at 6:30 We got home at 8:30 exhaused. Nathan took Hailey to it and videotaped and took pictures of the whole thing. I got to see it anyways! I made sure he had a babysitter for Aurora so he could get a good video. Thanks Cassie!
His results – He has a Virus that has knocked him through a loop. That was Thursday it’s now Tuesday and he’s doing much better – a small fever came back for a little while today and he was grumpier than his usual happy self. All is well now. We have spent the last 2 days at home for the most part.
