Teeth FINALLY!!

FINALLY!!!!!! Even though most of you moms that have already experienced this will probably tell me I am crazy. Kaylee is finally getting teeth. Okay 1 tooth. I am so happy though. I know it is good the longer they are under the better the teeth but it is so hard when it comes to food. She doesn't eat baby food anymore. And finding foods that we eat that are appropriate for her is not an easy task these days. She wants everything that we are eating. And that is not always easy with no teeth. So I may be insaine for being happy but I am happy she is finally getting them. I also am glad cause I feel like she is behind when it comes to that. She is 10 months old. I know many her age and younger that have almost a mouth full of teeth. I know she really isn't behind but it just feels like it. So far we have had one bad nite and whiny crabby. I am sure I will be eating my words about this subject sooner than later.

So to the moms out there your advice with teething would be greatly appriciated.

Strange house

Isn't is amazing what some people can do! You hope they put that talent to good use.

Still Busy

So just as Kaylee was getting over her wonderful Croup. Daddy decided it would be a good time to get sick too. And I am talking on death bed sick. So sick he actually went to the doctor voluntarly. Let me tell ya people that is sick. It is like pulling teeth to get him to go and get his asthma checked on a regular basis. Also when he is sick he won't stay home from work. Okay mind you most of his illness' are cold chest type illness'. He has asthma, it was severe when he was a child, it has gotten better since he has gotten older. Okay the next thing is he works in a body shop. Paint dust all the wonderful things you shouldn't inhale especially if your sick. The first day of this misable illness this week he still went to work. I come home from work and he can't hardly hold his daugter. I told him to stay home the next day. Well he went to the doctor and believe it or not he was sick enough he stayed home. So that has been fun to deal with.

My mother in law is now home from the hospital. Which is a relief and not. I am still worried about the next few weeks to come. Her husband drives tour bus and is leaving the end of next week. So trying to find her help with dogs and house chores is the biggest worry right now. Her husband is going to be gone for a month. Her one son lives there but he drives truck so he is pretty much gone during the week. I plan on being there every day I have off, which I work 3 12hr shifts a week, so it is going to be interesting to see how the next few weeks go.

Other than that I don't know much else for now. Will probably post pics later. Hope everyone has a good weekend. Try to stay cool.

Busy

Okay so I have so much to do and not a whole lot of days to do it in. I am suppose to work Tues, Wed and Thurs. . I say it that way cause depending on how Kaylee is is if I do work. She is misrable, besides the wonderful cough she is so stuffed up she can hardly breathe. SO I really need to take her back to the doctor. Can't today though. At 3:30 we are going to talk to our banker about the house we want to buy. Which is 20 miles south of us, then we get to drive 60 miles back north to go see my mother in law in the hospital. She had surgery today. So today isn't going to work unless we go to acute care like we did last Thurs. which probably wouldn't be a bad idea. Sorry if I sound like I am talking to myself. I have a friend from Rapid City coming to see us this weekend so besides the other stuff I need to clean my house desprately. Well if I work all my scheduled days they are 12 hour shifts, no getting it done then. So I guess that leaves Friday. And we might end up back at the bank that day if things go good. I would guess anyways. I could use a clone right now. Better yet a maid. SO I might not be posting for awhile. Well that is all for now got to try and get some stuff done before 2 pm.

Croup

I don't know how or where. And it is the wrong season. My daughter has croup. Let me tell you that is the most painful sounding thing for such a little person. She is so horse and cough is terrible. All I know is a week is to long to wait. The doctor said it would take a week for her to get over it. She got a steriod shot to help it. Other than that there is nothing that they can do for it other than let it run it's course. Just like RSV. Not fun. Hopefully it will be done soon.

SOOOO CUTE!!!!!!

No other words. SOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!!!

Lazy Days

To be able to do this, this is the life. Lay and watch the world go by. We found this guy today in a tree in our front yard.

House Hunting

So this weekend my husband finally made a comment that we should try to get financing for this one house we looked at awhile back. So we talked and decided to look at another one that was for sale in town. The pics above. This one is finished. The other one that we looked at is brand new, but the basement isn't finished. They are basically the same price. THe other one is a ranch style one. Which this one is a split level but it is layed out so nice. It is more roomy than most split levels I have been in. So the next thing we need to do is go and talk to our banker. Keep your fingers crossed for us. We need this, let's just say were we are at is not good.

Problems with posts

Good ol Days

Close your eyes...And go back...
....Before the Internet or PC or the MAC......
....Before semi-automatics and crack....
....Before Playstation, SEGA, Super Nintendo, even before Atari....
.....Before cell phones, CD's, DVD's, voicemail and e-mail....
....way back.... .....way.....way.....way back.....
I'm talkin' bout hide and seek at dusk Red light,
Green light Red Rover.....Red Rover..... Playing kickball & dodgeball until the first...no...second...no...third
Streetlight came on Ring around the Rosie London Bridge
Hot potato Hop Scotch Jump rope Duck....duck....GOOSE!!!
YOU'RE IT!! Parents stood on the front porch and yelled
(or whistled) for you to come home - no pagers or cell phones
Mother May I? Hula Hoops Seeing shapes in the clouds
Endless summer days and hot summer nights (no A/C) with the windows open
The sound of crickets Running through the sprinkler
Cereal boxes with that GREAT prize in the bottom
Cracker jacks with the same thing
Ice pops with 2 sticks you could break and share with a friend
..but wait.....there's more....
Watchin' Saturday Morning cartoons
Fat Albert, Road Runner, Smurfs, Picture Pages, G-Force & He-Man,
Schoolhouse Rock Watchin' Sunday morning oldies (Abbott & Costello, Three Stooges)
Wonder Woman & Super Man Underoos
FONZIE.....AYYYYYYYY Playing Dukes of Hazard
Christmas morning Your first day of school
Bedtime Prayers and Goodnight Kisses
Climbing trees Swinging as high as you could to try and reach the sky
Getting an Ice Cream off the Good Humor Truck
A million mosquito bites and sticky fingers
Jumpin' down the steps Jumpin' on the bed
Pillow fights Sleep-overs
A 13" black and white TV in your room meant you were RICH
Runnin' till you were out of breath
Laughing so hard that your stomach hurt
Being tired from PLAYING
WORK: meant taking out the garbage or doing the dishes
Your first crush
Your first kiss (I mean the one that you kept your mouth CLOSED and your eyes OPEN
Rainy days at school meant playing "Heads up 7UP" or hangman" in the classroom,
Remember that?
Oh, I'm not finished yet....
Kool-Aid was the drink of the summer
So was a swig from the hose
Giving your friends a ride on your handlebars
Wearing your new shoes on the first day of school
Class Field Trips with soggy sandwiches
When nearly everyone's mom was at home when the kids got there
When a quarter seemed like a fair allowance; and another quarter a MIRACLE
When ANY parent could discipline ANY kid, or feed him, or use him to carry groceries
...And nobody, not even the kid, thought a thing of it.
When being sent to the principal's office was nothing compared to the fate that awaited you at home. Basically, we were in fear for our lives but it wasn't because of drive by shootings, drugs, gangs, etc.
Our parents and grandparents were a much bigger threat!
And some of us are still afraid of em! Didn't that feel good?
Just to go back and say, "Yeah, I remember that!"
Well, let's keep going!!
Let's go back to the time when...
Decisions were made by going "eeny-meeny-miney-mo"
Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, "do over!"
"Race issues" meant arguing about who ran the fastest.
Money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in "monopoly"
Catching polywogs could happily occupy a morning
It wasn't odd to have two or three "best" friends.
Being old, referred to anyone over 20.
The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was cooties.
Nobody was prettier than Mom
Scrapes and bruises were kissed by mom or grandma and made better
It was a big deal to finally be tall enough to ride the "big people" rides at the amusement park. Getting a foot of snow was a dream come true (or for some of us . . . getting a foot in the snow !) Abilities were discovered because of a "double-dog-dare"
Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for giggles.
The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team.
Water balloons were the ultimate, ultimate weapon.
Older siblings were your worst tormentors, but also your fiercest protector
If you can remember most or all of these, then you have LIVED!!!
Pass this on to anyone who may need a break from their "grown up" life......
I TRIPLE DOG DARE YA!!!!!!
