At least there's that...
Holly got to see Dr C today. At this rate we're down to just 2 or 3 in the practice that we haven't seen while Dr. T is out :o) At least we'll be familiar with all of them!
The quick culture was negative. Yes, her throat is a little red, but nothing alarming. Probably viral. Tylenol, fluids, wait it out. *sigh* maybe someone would like to come have baby duty for a night ;o) I know I know - we signed up for this.
I did get a nice complement though. had to start with recent history:
"She had a stomach thing that started last Saturday"
D: Stomach thing? Like was she vomiting? Diahrea?
Me: Oh she was vomiting Saturday night, then Sunday through around yesterday it was the runs.
D: like 10 times a day? or just runny once or twice?
Me: - oh like every change. It was really nasty *smile* but she never showed any signs of distress, and she looks great, so we just waited it out.
D: I LOVE experienced Moms *smile* I think we should hire you all!
LOL. At least it's good for something :o) I did admit that the experience falls off the plate once she starts interfering with my sleep!

Some big sporting event or something.... ?
OK today is SuperBowl Sunday. We'll be good New Englanders and watch most of the game. Our favorite part? The ads :)
For those over 21 - checkout the ads section of
www.budwieser.com - there's one called 'wardrobe malfunction' :O)
Of course this is only 1 of the 2 events we manage to watch - and the only one I watch all the way through - the World Series runs too far after my bedtime... but Steve watches.
So I'm going to the grocery store to get some munchies for us - just family today, no party...

About Jen:
Welcome to my Blot! The result of a typo, but it fits me rather well.
I have no set agenda for my blot - it rambles wherever my brain takes me. Have a seat, grab some coffee or other beverage of choice - read what you like, ignore what you don't like :o)
We have a cat, two boys, a girl and two parents! My oldest was diagnosed with Asperger's but then later had that label dropped. He may or may not have been touched with some ADHD - join me while we learn more about this new and interesting facet to Kyle's Being...
We ventured into the world of cloth diapering with Holly in 2007 and it was not nearly as scary as I thought it would be - actually, it's only different from disposables in that I had to wash them - which is no big deal. Really!!! Ask me :o) I read that it takes 500 years (YEARS!!) for a disposable to decompose.. I guess if we just tossed the diaper out in the back yard it would break down quickly, but with 10 - 12 changes a day I think the neighbors might object to that method! So instead we wrap them up in little balls, put them in plastic and send them on to the waste management facility... where they are probably buried.... no oxygen... so they sit and sit and sit. Having contributed 2 boys worth of diapers to that process already, I figured I should make an attempt... have a look around at
WildFlower Diapers to see how cute and fun cloth diapering can be!! Shannon is a wonderful person, and I have no problems sending business her way!! Holly has since learned to use the potty, but I do miss the cuteness of those dipes!!
I have refocused my attention on collecting coupons and saving in general. I will try to post periodically on what I've saved and how we're doing. We're also saving our loose change for our 'travel fund' - we'll be opening a Travel Savings Account in the near future, and I'll also post our deposits and balance there so you can play along at home :)
