Weekly Recap

This week has been, well interesting.

Sunday - started out with a trip for myself to Dr After Hours; diagnosis strep. I return home expecting to sleep all day and get better quickly but Mr. Marcee had other ideas. Won't go into details on that one, needless to say he was no Josh Adams.
Monday - stayed home because of strep. Took Jack to Dr. Rao because he had this cold that would not go away and turned to pretty green snot Sunday; diagnosis sinus infection.
Tuesday - went to work, still not doing the best but no headache or fever. Decided to have a quick recheck with Dr. Sievers; diagnosis strep AND ear infection. New antibiotic. Played UNO that night with Hannah where she had her divine exclamation.
Wednesday - work, feeling better by the afternoon. Jack good, diarrhea (yes TMI) from Augmentin. Hannah great! Sigh of relief that this week is gonna get turned around after all.
Thursday - good day, had eye Doctor appt, Scott went to Hannah's Christmas party, I went to work. Scott & Jack great. Hannah complaining about her stomach but had soooooo much junk at her party we assumed it was related to this. She claims she drank "like 4 gallons of soda and that made my belly hurt"
Friday - 4:00 am Hannah running frantic to our room screaming "Mommy I need you" and then runs back out. I of course bolt out of bed to see what is wrong and she is standing at the kitchen trash can vomiting. She insists she is feeling better after the "episode". She goes back to bed. I get up at my usual time, get ready, get Jack and Hannah up to get ready. Hannah tried so hard, but she says to me "Mom, I just feel so funny when I stand up" and then goes to her bucket to vomit again. So we stayed home. She was so upset, didn't get to give her teacher her gift, almost had perfect attendance for December.

I am seriously starting to wear down on all this. Why? Why must my family be so sick this year? Am I carrying the germs home from work? I feel like we have a pretty good diet. I don't even run the kids around alot like we have in the past. I do not understand this at all. And this is very frustrating for me because I am a nurse. I know what to do and what not to do. I get the handwashing and isolation guidelines.

So, please pray for me and my family during this rough time. Pray that we can obtain good health before Christmas.

Uno

So my 7 yr old just beat me at Uno and proclaimed that "God just keeps giving me Draw 4"s".

The Duggar's

Ok, am I the only one in the world who follows the Duggar's? For those who don't they are the family from Arkansas that has 18 kids that all start with "J". Well she was pregnant with baby #19. Apparently (according to the news) she started having some gall bladder trouble and had to go into the hospital. I guess this led to some contractions and they had to deliver the baby at 25 weeks. So from what I can tell they had a 1 lb.? oz. baby girl Josie. According to the news she is doing as good as can be at 25 weeks.
Anyway, the whole point to this blog is that as weird as it seems to all of us that they have 19 kids I plan to pray for that baby girl. They have entrusted their entire lives to God and whether you agree with their decisions or not I think that the way they are raising their children is amazing. I have watched their show for a few years now and feel I have learned a thing or two from them and look forward to their show every week.
So pray for little Josie.

Christmas Ideas

Ok, if anyone sees my husband out shopping give him a couple of hints cause he has asked me about nothing. Here are my ideas:

a new watch
a new purse - must be cute but functional, NO bottomless pits, must have some sort of divider
a new crock pot
a new small stick vac - we have a Rainbow and I love it but when you just have a quick little mess it is a pain in the booty
a massage

The list could go on and on. . .

Yipeeee!

I have made it. This long, dreaded semester is finally over. Scott is done with the fire academy and in less than 6 months I will be an RN. A huge weight has been lifted. Seriously, I think if you weighed me I would be like 50 lbs. lighter. Haha! Anyway, I am so glad it is over. I can finally get some Christmas shopping done, spend some normal time with my kids, and reorganize. Yipeeeeee!!!!!!!!!

Christmas Shopping

Survey question: I think I am the only person I know who hasn't really started Christmas shopping. I mean, I have bought a few things for my kids, but really have a long way to go. My sister and I are planning on going next Sunday, so I hope she is prepared for a looooooong day, as I have alot to do.

Facebook

So I have now reactived my facebook. Gonna see how it goes. My biggest complaint before was it wasted so much of my time. I basically on Christmas break now so we will see. If I find that it is still a waste of my time I will deactivate for good, if it doesn't I will keep it. So if you are on facebook look me up.
