Still here...

I know I am the absolute worst blogger in the entire world but I am good at lists so here ya go...

Thanksgiving was good. We were in IL for the hubby's fam this year. We had fun. His family is a lot larger, louder, and crazier than mine will ever be. Loud, crazy but fun.

RT actually searched for Santa at the mall, found him, stared at him through the gate, and SAT ON HIS LAP!! I mean are you kidding me... He will barely say hi to our family members much less let anyone hold him... An old boozer Santa I mean are you serious? When Santa asked what he wanted.. all he could muster was a little mumble to say "toys please." Sweet baby!!!

I am in trouble w/hubby because I will not let his mom cut baby WT's hair... I think it is bad luck to cut hair b/4 1st birthday.. I know, I am weird.. but all the same... I carried him for 9 months, birthed him, breastfed him and my last say will be when he can or can not have his hair cut.. Who cares if he looks like a little girl.. He is too cute.. and if I have to put ribbons in his hair, then it looks like I will have to put ribbons in his hair.. He won't remember anyway... Right?!?!?

HMac is now getting breakouts on his nose and forehead - any remedies??? I need some help here.. I use the expensive ProActive.. but I hate to have an 11 year old using something that costs that much but I guess it is his embarrasment or me spending a little extra $$$... I don't know just yet if I will make him suffer through acne like I did... A little payback is in order I think. Plus he is officially now taller than me... Not saying much, I know, I am only 5'2"...

Anyway... If I have the time I will blog more... But my life is just too busy right now... So I hope this will suffice for a while... Unless I get a fire under me... Who knows... Happy late Thanksgiving... :-)

Yucky hospital

So for those of you who don't already know... Our little baby WT was in the hospital for 2 days... Luckily he is now home, bruised but ok...

He woke up on Saturday with a fever that we were able to manage with over the counter medication all day, he worsened overnight and woke up on Sunday with over 104 temps all day... We saw the doctor who told us his white blood count was in the 20,000's and that was not something they liked to see in babies his age. So we were sent to get tested for a bladder infection, the flu and a chest x-ray to check for pneumonia... All of those tests came back negative so she sent us home.. Only after a few hours he was very limp, sleepy and I could barely wake him so I called the doc again and she told us to meet her at the hospital.. So off we went.. He was admitted and so began the poking and prodding of my sweet baby angel... They were able to locate 1 vein to get an IV in his little hand and were unable to get a blood sample for cultures until 2PM on Monday... so they stuck him in every place they "thought" there may be a vein, until he looked like a little pin cushion.. Poor baby, he is bruised from head to toe... And his IV blew Monday night causing his little hand to swell w/ fluid to 4 times the regular size not to mention his little hand to turn black and blue... So he received antibiotics through his IV and all is better...

The doctors are still unsure what was wrong with him, just some sort of bacterial infection, but I am glad he is home and feeling better... Still a little weak but better... So all of my babies are back under one roof...

Crazy Week

So this week has been super crazy in all aspects... Instead of talk about each one I feel a list is in order...

1. My car died. Will not run. Living 45 miles from work is not fun with only 1 car for the family.

2. We have mice. Corn fields are cut and mice are finding their way into our house. We have caught 4, 2 have run on me, one on my foot and one on my hand.. He was hiding in my fresh laundry (punk mouse) which in turn means I had to wash 2 loads all over again... So I lie awake at night and all I can think of is I am sure there are like 100 mice dancing around downstairs and partying all night.

3. Baby WT is crawling and has two teeth... I mean are you serious?!?!? He is getting so big. Oh, and he pulled up about 10 minutes ago... I mean SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!

4. My boss at work has come down with some sort of "infection" in his elbow that required a week long stay at the hospital.. He will not say what he has or had but we had a MRSA "informational" meeting this week at work... Sweet right??

5. I have done NOTHING at work all week I feel like... My brain is just not working or something. I have been easily distracted to say the least.

6. Carpooling sucks.. I love the Earth but geezzzzzzzzzz...

7. I have 17 loads of laundry to do... ARGH!

8. Thanks Rebecca and Russel P for the playdough for Halloween.. It is everywhere including WT's new teeth... hehe...

9. My best friend from way back when is ready to have her baby and I can't be there for her... It makes me really mad... I have not seen her for a year and she hasn't even met baby WT yet... I suck as a friend... Stay away from me...

10. Hubby gets a vacation day tomorrow... My first one will be in like a year.. .I hate him. .I mean not really, but I could use a break too.. .

That is it... Have a great Friday... It cannot come quick enough.

PS... I can barely reread this post b.c there are baby fingerprints all over my computer screen.. Does it get any worse...
