Tom- You are one special person.
Becky- Lots of and some for your mom too,
Theresa- I vote for the all black one as well.
Vicki- Wow!!!
Deb- I hope you pass "Whiz Quiz"!! Have fun with Colby.
Debbie- Ack, 3:34am, that is entirely too early to be up. I hope work is a little less crazy now that you've been back a few days.
Mac- Please forgive me, I hope that the conversation you had the other lead to bigger and better things for you on both fronts!
Merry Christmas to Amy! You will love her! My cleaning lady was the best birthday present I ever got. Just remember, her cleaning may not be as spotless or as perfect as you would like, but the carpets are vacuumed, the furniture is dusted and the bathrooms are shiny.I think I have ANOTHER sinus infection. This would be the third one since July. I have had a constant headache for a week now, so I'm going to go to the doctor this afternoon.
I think I've told you all before that Kevin and I never exchange presents for any occasion...we're just always saving for our next Disney trip. Well, I asked for a present this Christmas. I made a deal with him that I would find our laundry room floor, organize all the toys and closets, make a huge donation of various items to the next local charity who calls and asks for them, etc. and I would be rewarded with a cleaning lady!
Our neighbor cleans houses and she's agreed to come over and get down to the nitty-gritty while we're up in Huron for Thanksgiving. I am so excited!
Oh. Bummer.I should clarify, it's just a one-time thing, but it's the best present ever!
Two teeth for Elise...yay! Now that they've cut through, she should calm down a bit, but in my experience, it starts all over again with the onset of more teeth cutting through the gums, especially when they are teething so young. Hang in there!
Do you have a chart of the proper dose I should be giving Noah. I'm afraid of over-medicating him. How often are you giving the girls Tylenol?
I should clarify, it's just a one-time thing, but it's the best present ever!
And yes, I always finish up my z-packs! I'm the daughter of a nurse, and a good patient, thank you.
This headache thing is a new version of a sinus infection that debuted right before Noah was born. I thought it was pregnancy-related, but then he was out, and my head was hurting worse than ever. I walked into the doctor's office and she knew right away the left side of my head was throbbing. I need to look into sinus irrigation or one of those breathing pots or something. I'm getting old.
I think that the worst part of teething is them working their way through the gum. Once it's broke through there should be relief. My girls never really were bothered with teething. Lucy was the worst of the 3 of them but those teething tablets worked wonders! Mo always ended up with an ear infection but she never cried. One of the little girls I used watch, I swear, starting teething the minute she was born. Her first tooth came in at 3 months and all she did was cry from the moment she was born. I hope the girls can settle down a bit.
I need to get myself showered. I wasted enough time already.
Jennifer I can't believe your babies are cutting teeth already, seems like they were just born!
My girls started, oh, right about the time they got over the colic and feeding issues!
They're pretty cranky, but Tylenol does seem to help with the discomfort. The worst is definitely their wakefulness, though. They cry in their sleep something awful, which - in addition to meaning I'm up every hour again, even though they're "sleeping" all night - is just heart breaking!
The teething tablets don't seem to help at all, though I've heard great things about them. My girls just spit them out -- "dissolve quickly" my butt! Not nearly as quickly as my girls' crazy tongues move!
Wow! Some pretty lady pictures posted!
I just read something that made my day.
I participate in the Make a Wish Big Give. I made a Christmas set for a little girl and her Mom loved it. I was moved to tears.
She posted it in her trip report here.
that's what I gotta do tonight....try out my new makeup...so I look like I know what I am doing tomorrow when I put it on for the interview.
After telling me I get to put another mailing together before I go, Richard offered a letter of recommendation. Makes me wonder what SPRC told him last night. The staff is taking me out to lunch on Monday...they weren't given a choice from what I can tell Between now and when I leave I won't go hungry....3 out to lunch dates and 2 in house lunches (if I decide to eat Pow Wow food tomorrow again)
Elizabeth -- look for the boxtops!
never mind.... ignore the post above.
I heard sometime after the first of the year. But the construction doesn't look like it is coming along very fast, does it? I wonder if things are slowing down because of the economy??
