What a great day!

Today was a great day in our household. Mike finally finished a major project at work he was working on for quite a while. It has taken lots of hours and I am very proud of his hard work. I am also very proud of my sweet C. This morning before school she went to the bathroom, got undressed, picked out her clothes, put them on, found her shoes, put them on, and then brushed her teeth. All without my help! I am so happy for her, but also a little sad at how fast she is growing up.

On another note, while on the way to my hair appointment, I was caught in traffic next to the very intense arrest of two large males. And by intense I am talking four police officers with guns drawn shouting orders. And the entire time I am trying to decide whether or not to watch them shoot and how low to duck if they do!!

Not my Proudest Moment...

Pretty soon I might be ranking up there with Brittany Spears for the mother of the year. For those of you who have ever spent time with my sweet C, you know about her lamb. “Lamby” is her best friend he goes everywhere except day care with her. Well, last night in the hullabaloo of cleaning up after dinner, Mike coming home, and bath time, I ACCIDENTALLY threw Lamby away. We searched high and low for him, but he was no where to be found. It wasn’t until I sat down to do C’s hair a bedtime that I thought about it. Luckily the bag in the trash was a fresh with only a few paper towels. I don’t think C would ever forgive me if something happened to that lamb.

Funny, Funny!

C always makes me laugh! Here is how it went when I picked her up today.

Big Hug.
Me: How have you been?
C: C*&l&
Me (confused): How have you been?
C: My name is C*&l&!
Me: I know I gave you that name. How have you been?
C: My name is NOT Ben, it's C*&r*!

I HATE MOSQUITOS!!

Well, I have been sitting here wishing I had more to blog about. School has been so busy that we haven't had anything fun going on. Today I got my wish! Yesterday afternoon C got a couple of mosquito bites on her foot. My father-in-law tried the old bleach trick but it didn't work this time. By the time we got home from LP her foot was starting to swell. We gave her some Benadryl and sent her off to bed. This morning her whole leg was swollen and she had two bites that were full of puss and looked like ant bites. Yuck! We made her a doctor's appointment and sent her to day care because her 40lb. leg hasn't slowed her down any. By the time I picked her up at 3:15 it was swollen up to her knee. The doctor gave her a shot and she didn't even cry, my big girl! The shot should help, if not we have to try and force yucky medicine down her throat! I love Texas, but I hate the mosquitos!

Last week was a pretty rough week. My sweet C wasn't feeling well and that didn't make the first week of school any easier. After I picked her up from school on Wednesday, I knew she wasn't feeling well when she fell asleep in the car and slept through a quick shopping trip to HEB.
