Updatage.
So, Wednesday night I see a spot on Maiya's foot. Uh oh...I say to my self, "Gee, that looks a lot like when Trent and I had hand/foot/mouth disease a few years ago. I checked her again at 5:30 am Thursday morning before I start getting ready for work. See a few more. Crap! I get ready for work and head in, knowing full well that I will be returning home very soon. I of course end up turning right around and coming back home. Let it not be said that I got preferential treatment, or called off within my first two weeks back on the job. CYA I say... So I've been here at home yesterday and today instead of at work. Maiya is doing pretty well with her cooties. She doesn't have very many spots so that is good. The biggies show no signs of it so far. Knock on wood! The ear infection seems to be long gone though, she has a follow up appointment in a week and a half or so.
Yesterday was spent cleaning and straightening the dining room. Joy. So much paper clutter and crap...recipes, Trent's kindergarten papers, weight loss paperwork, organizational (ha!) papers, baby books, craft ideas and supplies. It was an all day affair, and it isn't completely finished.
Today I did some grocery shopping, and actually managed to stick to the budgeted amount (YAY!) even with the painting things thrown in.
In in week that the computer was down, I managed to also break the dishwasher and vacuum. Dave managed to blow out the hairdryer too, good thing we had a spare. Dishwasher was a semi-easy fix, and the vacuum will be ready to roll and suck (hehe) next Friday. I also celebrated my 10 year anniversary of becoming a nurse. Time flies, except for when you are waiting for the vacuum to be done. ;)
The garden is rocking! We laid the newspapers and straw down so that there is no weeding to do. Not sure I like that though....I miss weeding a tiny bit. We've had tomatoes,peas, snap peas, green onions, leaf lettuce, and herbs out of there so far.
I need to either go do some painting outside, or get painting in the bathroom right now. What I really want to do is sit on the couch, let my ass grow roots and sip a coffee. Guess I'll sip coffee outside, push the kids on the swings and make the decision later.
I have care package supplies to send to folks.....except I need to do it in two or three staggered groups. *Wink*
