Mom to the rescue

This is "my" mom we are talking about. She is a saint. After everyone being sick for several weeks I was exhausted. Dax and I are still not completely over it. Saturday morning Dax was crying and crying. This is so not like him. I noticed a red rash on his torso. We took him to the Doc in Edmond. He cried the whole way. They said he had a reaction to the antibiotic for his ear infection or a viral rash. My mom saw my distress, my SOS!lol Moms always do! And offered to keep both kids Sat night so David and I could get a full night sleep. Yay for Mom!! We picked up some grub and caught up on our DVR shows. I was too tired to even knit. Sunday we picked them up and stayed for a little while. My mother is a dream come true! I feel much better now.

I was going to go up to the YMCA this morning but Dax still has too much of a runny nose. He is not contagious but I still don't think it is wise to have him around all the other little ones. Instead I think I will go on a walk with him and Savy after lunch today. Savy will get to ride her scooter so I know she will be excited. Since I am not going to the Y this morning I am going to get some more studying done.

Still waiting to hear about Secret Pal 10. I hope I am in.

Don't worry mom. I know I have been tagged. Strangely I can not think of 10 weird things about me right now. This is odd because I know there are millions. Will post it later.

Sport sock

I just finished the first sport sock out of Cascase Fixation. Very funky! I love it!

Bath Time

I just had to post some pics of Savy helping give Dax a bath! She is such a great helper! He just loves his bath now that he is a little older. He even started fussing when David got him out!


Oh, I think our cat, Shadow, wanted to help too!
He was hiding inside the two shower curtains and peeking out periodically. I am sure he was deciding whether or not to jump in. He did jump in with Savy once. I don't think he liked getting wet all that much!

Well, they are both in bed. Time for a little vino, DVR, maybe a game.

First Test

Yay!! I made a 96 on my first test and 100 on my first pop quiz. I am so excited! Now I just have to keep it that way! I plan on doing quit a bit of studying this weekend. David and I are also going to rent some movies on Multiple Personality Disorder. Maybe Sybil or 3 Faces of Eve. I put down the the new knitting novel I am reading to read "When the Rabbit Howls". Waah! I was just getting into the other book. It starts out great! If you haven't read "The Friday Night Knitting Club" you should.

I plan on a nice relaxing weekend. I feel exhausted after running around this week with the cold Dax and I have had. I finally ran to the Dr yesterday for a power house decongestant. Well...it worked. I feel so much better today!

I am only 1 1/2 inches away from finishing my first sport sock. I will post a pic on my next blog. When I am done I am either going to start the interlac scarf I got from my scarf knit kit swap pal or make something out of the baby Alpaca I got from my Yarn Snobs unite pal.

Have a great day!

In a daze

Oh...to be so tired! I can not for the life of me figure out how my body functioned when I got up every two hours when my kids were first born. Unfortunately, Dax still gets up 1-2 times a night but David and I switch off. As a result, we usually get enough sleep. Last night was a whole different monster. Poor little thing is sick. He was crying all day yesterday. By the way, this is not like him at all. By last night he had 103 temp. Of course this came about right as we are leaving for the Campfire Bowling night. David went ahead and took Savy and then stopped at Target for some Tylenol so we could do the old switcharoo btwn tylenol & motrin. It did work..for awhile. The temp would go down then inveitable go back up. Needless to say, sleep was not in the cards. Well, I can't whine too much..I did get some sleep. David got up with him as well. I will take him to the doc this afternoon. I am sure he has an ear infection. I hate it...he is still so little. It is the hardest when the just feel crummy and do not know what is wrong! Atleast when we feel like crap we know why! Anyway, here is to hoping he gets well very soon.

I have class tonight. After I am going to the library to do research on my project. Multiple Personality Disorder. It is an interesting topic and I won't have any trouble finding a visual aid. I just dread the oral report. Oh..I hate it. I can already feel all the eyes on me. I always feel like such a goon. I think there are so many people who feel the same way. Unfortunately, that does not make me feel any better. I just hope the material I provide counteracts my nervousness. Only time will tell. I will also get my first test back. I hope I made the A I wanted.

Do not feel like taking the pic today but I will post a pic of the sport sock I am doing later. It is turning out kind of funky and I love it. I can't wait to finish them! They are sporty knee socks in Cascade fixation. Toe and 2 stripes at the top in a self striping orange & red. The foot & leg is black!

Mary is coming to clean today! What bliss! At this point I think I would go insane if I had to clean today.

Well, the day goes on and so does my haze!LOL

Meditation

As a class assignment I am supposed to meditate. I did my best this morning to complete the task. Needless to say I found it extremely hard. With practice it might actually be beneficial. My mind kept wandering. Thinking about all the things I need to get done, relationships, family, and everything under the sun. I am supposed to do this 2 times. Maybe next time I will have more luck. I think I will try again after the kids go to bed tonight.

I still can not figure out why I can not get things from Quizilla to post on my blog. They are always distorted. I am going to try one more time. Maybe David can figure out what the problam is. It keeps saying a tag is not closed. Hmm..I am no where near computer literate enough to figure out what that means. So..if it works you will see something from Q. If not...you won't. Have a great day!

The day after

The day after the storm...my loved ones will know what that means!! Tired today. Thank goodness David was off work today for Pres Day. He let me take a long nap. That helped so much. Savy had dance tonight and had fun as always. Now both kids are tucked into bed. Time to relax.I think I will knit and watch TV..maybe the Lost episode we missed. I love that show.


Mell and Brian came this weekend and we took Savy bowling for the first time. She had a blast! I have only been bowling once in probably 10 years. We are going again tomorrow night with the Campfire kids. I think they will have great time. As you can see, I had a helper when I bowled. Oddly enough, I did better when Dax was "helping" me.LOL
We had Indian food Sat for lunch! I had forgotten how much I liked it. Sat night we played some games. We played spades which I haven't played since college. I miss them already! I am hoping we can get them to meet us at the cabin in Turner Falls maybe in April when it gets warmer. I can not wait for Savy to spend some time down there. David loved it as a child...actually, he still does. Oh, here is a pic of my beautiful sister and Dax.
Sorry but I have to share one more picture. This one is a perfect example of our little girl. Always the silly one.

Still have not decided what to do about "the storm". Hmm..to go or not to go face him. I am thinking NOT. Why waste time and energy. I have all the happiness I could ever deserve. I think that is what eats him up. He just can't stand for anyone to be happy. I feel sad for those kinds of people. It is a shame that he is one of them. Maybe some day I will finally realize that nothing can change it..and that I don't have to accept it.

Here is to tomorrow. And all the love I have!
