Hey ladies,
Crazy summer. I always feel so busy.
Lauren- She is absolutely gorgeous. Congratulations and I am glad you are home.
Laura-Glad Nathan is feeling better. You should definatley get some rest.
Hope everyone is doing well. I tried to read everything but I was so out of the loop. I figured I would start fresh, lol.
Been busy lately. I started applying for some full time jobs. I interviewed yesterday for a pharmaceutical sales representative position. Part of me wants to get it but the other part of me does not want to get it because it is a good 1 to 1 & 1/2 hours of travel to get there each way. If they dont offer than I dont need to make decision. I hate makimg decisions. Hopefully everything works out.
Well off to bed, speak to everyone tomorrow.
TTFN

Lauren: Is it the scenara? That's what my parents have and it's a pain in the bootie to get installed rearfacing, in fact, I haven't figured out how to do it yet, lol! So glad you're home home!!
Laura: I hope Nathan is feeling better and you're able to get caught up on sleep tonight!
Liz: Ugh, I hope Tori is feeling better soon too!
After dinner I noticed Elim felt a bit warm but figured it was just me because I always think he feels warm, then my mom noticed so we checked his temp, 102.3! Poor baby, I think it's a tummy thing judging from the diapers and gas we've been getting out of him today. He's still eating like a champ though, but tomorrow we'll go to a more bland dairy free diet to try to help him out.

Tracy o my goodness I'm so not laughing with that. I would have been screaming like a little girl. I HATE bees and wasps. Seriosly so afraid of them. I've never been stung either and really dont ever want to be. I remember being little and my cousin was around 5 years old...he took a baseball bat to a bee hive (yes he was a beast) we were at a family bbq. He was COVERED with stings. Serisouly tramatized me  (yes he got stung and I was tramatized lol) Katie I want your life. You guys are all so adventerous. Love your pics on fb. Maddie wouldnt do half of what your kids do....shes a bit to sheltered lol  She would be the kind to *watch* You have awesome pics and I'm sure making some incredible memories.

Lorena - I'm glad Miss V is feeling better. I hope that the school projects are going okay with S. Bummer that there isn't more of a caseload at work ($). I'm hoping that will turn around for you soon:)
Lauren - How are you? How are your M&Ms doing? Hope you are all settling in and just enjoying:)
Jessica - Sorry about the heartburn. Hoping that you can catch up on some zzz's. Ordering blinds is super fun:) Did Maddie get to keep her chandelier?
Laura - Hope N is feeling better and that you can catch up on much needed zzz's.
Geri - Happy summer to you! I know what you mean about hoping not to get a call so that you don't have to decide. Wishing you peace with your decision should the phone ring.
Liz - Did you get rain? We did last night and supposed to continue all through this weekend. Yay, I can save on watering my plants!

Jess~ Thanks for the sympathy on the sting!! You're a true friend!!  I'd tell that painter to get his butt back to the house to paint the banister too....the job's not done! Laura~ Really, 5 a.m. and then to work at 7?? Nope---that'd have to be a call-in for me. I'd never be able to function! Lindsay~ Woohoo on the rain! We've had some this week too which is so needed! To go with it, the temperatures have been bearable so overall....a much better time to be in GA! Stacy~ I hope Elim is feeling better! I'm not a fan of fevers, but the ones with the "normal" activity are hard to figure out. Geri~ Hope the job situation works out just like you want it to. Ansley and I are total bums today! I rolled out of bed around 9 and curled up on the couch with a book while Ansley snoozed until 10:40!!! We're both still in pajamas at 11:30 and not making plans to change that situation!!

Yeah I was exhasuted at work. I knew if I called in during the ER visit it would be the middle of the night they wouldn't be able to find anyone to cover me so I figured I'd just stick it our and go in. I had a few incidents during the day with my residents so they kept me busy so I didn't have time to notice how sleepy I was. Jess, have fun with your painting! You should ask to see a GI dr who might be able to help with long-term side effects of all this heartburn. I'm not sure if carafate is OK for pregnant women but it might help to minimize damage. Geri, hope the job stuff works out. Tracy, hope you had a nice relaxing day! Stacy, hope Elim is feeling better today! I'm off to go finish cleaning the house and doing laundry. We're going to my Aunt's for the weekend so the boys can go to the zoo so I need to get laundry done so we can bring CLEAN clothes with us

Stacy- Hrmm, yeah we thought we'd use it rear facing... totally annoying. So we waited until front facing and it rocks, so light.
Lindsay- Um, seriously, you just totally nicknamed my kids! I'll be calling them the M&Ms until they're like 25.
Laura- Sorry to hear that Nathan landed in the ER... and that you had to go to work so soon after! Egads!
Tracy- I love that Ansley inherited your love of sleep! That's so awesome, sorry about the sting too... ouchies.
Lorena- Oy, the amount of homework S has! What grade is he in now?
Ladies... I'm so stinkin' excited... my BP has dropped low enough that I can test out just taking my meds once at lunch! I'm stoked!

Jessica: Keep on taking that zantac! It took about three days before the pepcid totally kicked in for me and the pain stopped, then the second I forgot a single pill it went back to heartburn city! Lindsay: Send that rain onto us! We need it! Tracy: I'm hoping once Elim adjusts he'll be back to sleeping till 8! He tried waking up at 6:30 today  mommy was not a fan. Laura: I'm with Tracy, no way I would've been able to function! Lauren: WOOHOO for the freedom from one of the doses for your meds!! Maybe in another week you'll be able to drop another! No luck on the feeling better, he was so miserable today. Then to top it off he's got a flaming butt rash. Poor kid, screaming when I use wipes and even when I just tried running luke warm water on it, that induced tears even Going to the doctor tomorrow since he's had 2 days of fever over 102. I did end up getting him a carseat though! Target has the my ride 65s on sale for 25 off (sans the safety surround which I hated) to make room for the my ride 70s! So I got one of those when I was there buying bland foods for Elim. I still don't think it's his tummy, but acid-free foods will be better for his hiney. Anyway, got it all ready and installed to test out tomorrow! If he likes it we'll keep it in my car and give the other to my parents for their car.

That's so sad when they get a terrible rash. Bought a new Nicholas Sparks book yesterday and finished it today! Safe Haven----GREAT! I had no doubt because his books don't usually disappoint me, but still have to give a shout out if you're looking for an easy read for the summer days!

Tracy- Never read one of his books... I don't think I'll be reading anything for another 2 years, so remind me then!

Tracy - He wrote the Notebook right? I think I just saw him on a rerun of Anderson Cooper this week. I'll have to check it out. Pajamas, sounds good to me:)
Stacy - Ah, poor Elim! I hope his fever goes away and burny hiney subsides. I'll will the rain your way and hope for the best. It's getting dark again now and there's bound to be some more wet roads for sure.
Eh bien, demain c'est le jour de la Bastille en France. Tomorrow is Bastille Day and I guess I care because I "used to" teach French:) So, there's a little thing going on at the MIM (Musical Instrument Museum) and we'll be headed over there to hear some French music, sample French food, and learn about musical instruments. Funny because all this week, D has been walking around the house randomly saying, "Qu'est-ce que c'est?" Oh, and because July is (former) educator month, we be FREE!

Lindsay~ Yes, he wrote The Notebook. He has tons of books that have been made into a movie and I've only seen one of them. I haven't seen the whole movie of that one.... I don't like to break the pic in my head!!  Lorena~ I live in the south which is where most of his stories are set so I like the pace of the books. It's like "real life"....except my life is so boring that I live through those characters. Lauren~ That was sweet of the family to take Micah for a swim. I'm sure he'll enjoy the special attention and maybe you can catch a nap with Makaela. Ansley and I headed to Build-a-Bear with a couple of friends today. (Yes, my friends and hers!) She had a gift card from her b-day and it was burning a whole in her pocket!! We're now the new owners of Rainbow Hunter. (Guess what color she is!!! ) She enjoyed herself....I guess that's what counts, right?

Tracy: I just finished reading the lucky one by Nicholas Sparks, it was decent, kinda predictable though.
Lauren: Yeah, well he woke up bright and early at 6 am this morning, blah. He woke up with a fever this morning, went away with motrin then was totally gone when I checked right before dinner when there was no more motrin in his system. Picked him up out of his high chair and he was burning up, 102.8 when we got home, ugh!! Diaper rash is a lot better though at least.
Lindsay: That sounds like a fun trip!! I bet the kids will love it, and I know you will too!
Doctor was booked up and said since he didn't have any other symptoms just to wait and watch, if he still has a fever tomorrow by lunchtime to bring him into urgent care. Fingers crossed we don't have to go!

Tracy - Sounds like you all had a nice time at Build-A-Bear. I've been there, but I haven't taken the kids yet. I bet Ansley is having fun with her new rainbow friend:)
Lauren - I like all of those letters together:) Very sweet:) Glad to hear that you've got some extra hands to give Micah some extra love. Hoping that you can catch that nap soon. And thanks for thinking of me with the bread purchase:)

Stacy~ I guess I don't read enough to find things "predictable". Well, let's say I don't read for pleasure enough....I read plenty between work and grad school! Boo for Elim's dr. not being available. Hopefully the fever will go away.... What other authors do you girls enjoy?? I like stories that might actually happen and that are easy to read. Lauren~ You go girl on getting back into the pre-preggo sized jeans! I still can't get in my pre-preggo stuff The sizes have been the same at times, but my body isn't situated the same as before.  Lindsay~ Enjoy the museum! We had lunch today with a friend at a local BBQ place. So yummy!!! Nothing fancy and nothing overpriced---just what I needed today!

Lauren: I'm not sure! I was leaning more towards the rash being from either too much acidic fruit or too much milk irritating his tummy but it could be related! Boo on the unpacking, our house was a wreck for weeks after we got back to Guam from all the crap I'd accumulated over six months.
Lindsay: How'd the trip to the museum go?
Tracy: Lol, that was my first Nicholas Sparks book I read. I'm a book worm though, but usually only once Elim is in bed and Charles too when he's here. Makes for some tired days but it's my me time when I can't get out. I have bizarre taste.....right now I'm reading the Earth's Children series by Jean Auel.
His fever is a tad better, highest today was 101.7, though last night it was 102.8 right before bed, had a few normal ones in there and overnight last night it was 95.8.....yeah, bizarre. He keeps spiking them then it goes down to normal-ish then back on up. If he has above 101 tomorrow I'm bringing him into the urgent care clinic to see what's going on.

So the other day at dinner Micah was being his ole' comedic self and said after a mini monologue about something, "It's like... It's like.. it's like (between each one pausing... thinking).. It's like, holy crap!" We tried to keep straight faced but it was impossible!

Lauren - Woah, has Micah been watching the commercial/trailor for the new Ice Age movie? Could he be saying, "Holy crab?" Yeah, I would have a hard time not laughing too:)
Tracy - Honestly, I haven't picked up any fiction books in awhile. Sorry, no recommendations here. Hey, no worries. It's summer and it's okay to be lazy:)
The museum outing went well. We had never been there before. There was a hands-on exhibit where people can play instruments from various countries. That was their favorite part! We were able to catch one French song from a performance, but listened from a distance. We watch for triggers and Mr. T was letting us know that it was too loud for him. We also realize that he needs more exposure to escalators, so we know we've got to get to a mall early and practice. We're slowly getting out there though and it's been good for all of us:)

Lindsay~ I'm glad that the museum trip went well. Stacy~ Crazy fevers!! I hope that either the stinkin' thing goes away or that you get answers today. Lauren~ Too funny!!! My nephew through out a "vocabulary word" the other day that was less than appropriate for an 8 year old. I handled it carefully explaining that it was not okay because he honestly had no idea, but it was really hard not to laugh because it sounds so funny coming from him! Just ate a huge lunch of "home" cooking and my belly being full strongly suggests a nap. (Moreso than usual!!) Think I'm gonna have to check back in later.....
