Round 2

In our area the weather has been glorious and then cold.  Sunny, then snowy.  Lots of people are sick.  Our Professor had a cough for about 2 weeks so we took him to the doctor.  He (thankfully) just had a sinus infection.  So we did 10 days of antibiotics.  He finished them and over Thanksgiving his congestion and cough worsened.  I took him back to the doctor yesterday and thankfully his lungs are clear but he needed a different antibiotic.  While I am beyond thankful for our health care system I really don't like so much medicine for our kids.  But I am thankful to live in  a small town where a doctor's appointment lasts for 20 minutes.  I am thankful that the medicine was available at the local pharmacy (which has a drive-thru).  And I am thankful the Professor LOVES taking his medicine!  I must admit though...hard to be thankful for these things when your Toddler pukes snot mixed with smoothie all over you...just saying.
Here's to everyone's health!

Free Entertainment

The kids did not have school today because of the Thanksgiving break.  They invited their friend over to play.  I had a great time! They all put Polly Pocket clothes on their fingers and did some hilarious finger plays for me.  After their friend left, we watched Polar Express together and snuggled up on the couch.  It was a great day and I enjoyed having all that time with our kids!

Thanksgiving

Family, turkey, shopping, playing, walking, talking, waffles, ice cream, gifts, surprises, blessings and more.  That has been our Thanksgiving.  What did you do this year?

A Poem

Written by the Hippie age 7:

Oh Fall

Oh fall, oh fall leaves are falling from the trees.

Oh fall, oh fall feel like dancing in the leaves.

Oh fall, oh fall makes me want to climb those trees.

Oh fall, oh fall makes me nervous to climb those trees!

That's fall all right!

 

Are you Edible?

Interesting question isn't it?  LOL! Today I was driving the girls to piano and this is our conversation:
H- Mommy! We get to wear pajamas to school Friday!
G - Yeah! It's Pajama Day!
M - Well, maybe you should wear your pride shirts over your pjs in case they draw your name for the Friday pride winner?
G- Well Mommy.  Mrs. ________ said we could wear pjs and/or pride shirts and either way we'd be edible to win the prize.
M - What did you say sweetie?
G- We can wear pjs or pride shirts and be edible!
So, I ask again...are you edible?  I guess our girls will be on Friday!

Tomorrow

Man, tomorrow my husband comes home after being gone for 2 weeks but tomorrow is also the one month mark of founding out we lost our 4th baby.  I am glad something happy is happening tomorrow but emotionally I kind of dread the day.
Same thing with Thanksgiving.  Thanksgiving is when we were going to announce the gender of the baby.  So while I am excited for Thanksgiving and looking forward to having family come in, I am dreading the day too. 
I guess the healing just takes lots and lots of time and I will let myself have it.

A Nice Day

My husband has been gone for a bit on a business trip.  We have been so lonely here without him around.  But last night and today were very nice.  Last night my mom and I had dinner together and attended a great raffle afterwards!  Today my dad took us to a bulk food store (Amish!) and out for pizza and ice cream. It was just a nice day.  It feels good to have a good day.  I hope your weekend is great!
