What the Wednesday!

Bowling with the family

More fun than it sounded at the time

The kids were delighted

I try my hardest to be fashionable

But my quest to be comfortable usually wins out

If only hoodies and jeans were more vogue, ya know?

I'll check faint at the temple

off my bucket list this week

Along with cry from embarrassment

And make everyone think I'm pregnant

(I'm not)

Apparently I have lots of friends who sew

And could have helped me with the tinkerbell fiasco

I just hate burdening people with my desire to be a cute and crafty mother

That's all

It's our annual preschool pumpkin patch field trip on Friday!

Directly followed by me passing out on my bed for 2 hours

Hey, it's a tradition

Baby Mine

From Dumbo

Makes me weep inconsolably every time I hear it

I promise, I'm not pregnant

 We attempted family pictures this week

I think they even turned out cute

Especially the ones of the kids

But it's a good thing we only do it once a year

 Have a conscious Wednesday!

What the Wednesday!

 

She's feeling so much better

Thank you for dusting off your prayers for her

Now to keep her healthy through cold and flu season...

Fall Break is this week

It will be the first year we don't go to California

in over 5 years

Jarom is feeling really homesick

Haven't been running consistently

I hate that!

Sorry, Kendra

But I have to tell this story because it makes me die with laughter every time I think about it

A couple weeks ago, it was tuition day for preschool

It was also a crazy day and the same week I had been taking care of sick Hazel

Two nights with a couple hours of sleep 

So after preschool I decided to take a nap

after putting both my kids down for their naps

I took off my pants because they were really tight

(something to do with that not running thing, ugh!)

And laid in my bed

But I couldn't get to sleep so I turned on the tv

VH1 brought back pop-up-video (love)

All of a sudden, I see light flooding into my house

So I knew someone opened the door

I assumed it was our neighbor girl 

Who walks into our house all the time

So I leaned forward to tell her to go home since my kids were asleep

Well, it was a neighbor, but not a little girl

Kendra was standing there with her check for preschool

And I was sitting on my bed without pants on

I threw my comforter around me

I blurted something about "ummm, sorry, I don't have pants on!"

We both just started laughing

I don't know who was more embarrassed

It's a good thing we're friends

But I still think it's the funniest thing ever

I NEVER just take off my pants during the day

And Kendra doesn't make it a habit to walk into houses

She heard the TV and assumed Cannon was watching something 

so we couldn't hear her knock

I'm going to do better at locking the door from now on

No Halloween decorations up at my house yet

Now that's scary

I started sewing a tinkerbell costume for Hazie

But I sewed it together the wrong way.  Twice.

So I wadded it up and threw it in the trash

We visited the Disney Store yesterday

And bought a costume for the same price I bought all that fabric

But the tinkerbell costumes were ridiculous 

($40 for the costume and $40 for the wings)

So she's going to be Belle

Or in her words "Pincess and a Beast"

All the Halloween costumes for boys are lame

pirate or super hero.  double lame.

The Muppet Movie collection by OPI just came out

Here's the thing when you wear a glitter

You have to wear it with the shortest nails possible

(mine are even maybe a little long for a glitter)

Or it will look tacky

Here's Rainbow Connection:

It reminds me of a New Year's Eve party in a bottle

Chunky glitter in orange, light blue, green, silver and pink

and micro glitter in just about every color you can imagine

What the Wednesday!

I should call it What the Tuesday

Because of our crazy day yesterday

We're fine now but

Hazel went to bed with a fever on Monday night

Woke up struggling to breathe on Tuesday morning

She calmed down and I snuggled her until she fell asleep again

But while she was sleeping I heard the wheezing and labored breathing start

She had a raspy voice and barking cough

I called the nurse at her pediatricians office

Who told me to take her in immediately

So I did

She has croup

But coupled with her asthma and already weak lungs

It was a scary situation

She had to be on breathing treatments for a while

Then got a shot of something that starts with a D??  Whatever it is it helped her lungs

But it was the hugest needle I've ever seen

And all she did was ask for a sucker

Her fever spiked to 103 while we were there

So they wouldn't let her leave until it was lower than 101

So scary

When I checked her in

I was so flustered

I had to ask the receptionist if it was 2010 or 2012?

Umm

It's 2011, just FYI

When they put the mask on her face

They said she'd probably scream

And try to take it off

She cried "Mommy"

A few times

I told her to close her eyes and go to sleep

So she did

So obedient

She just can't catch a break

I slept on her floor last night

Not the most restful sleep

But she was breathing so much better

And her fever finally broke

This morning she wanted cookies

I think that's a good sign

I don't know how other parents do it
