Sorry, I haven't updated lately. To be honest, I don't have a good excuse so I'm not even going to try! ;) I will give you a quick recap, though, of our extremely interesting life! That was meant to be sarcastic. I do realize that the grandparents are probably the only ones who really care about the day to day stuff, and that's only when it involves the babies. :) But that's ok, I know deep down they love Brian and me as well!
We didn't get snow but we appreciate all the snow pictures we received via email from our friends and family from home. They were calling for 3-5 inches in our area and within an hour the forecast changed. I was a little disappointed, but there's always next year, right?
Wednesday night after church, the family came home, settled in and watched a little "Idol". My throat had seemed a little scratchy during the day, but I wrote it off as sinus drainage. By midnight my temperature was 103. I had body aches, chills the whole nine yards. Thursday morning, Brian woke me up to tell me he had called the doctor and we needed to leave to go see him. I was so disoriented, I assume from the fever, that I didn't brush my hair, wash my face, anything! I vaguely remember even going! Needless, to say when the temperature broke, man did I feel stupid! Our doctor and medical assistant are friends of ours, and go to our church. I am still not real sure of anything I said and I hope I didn't look as bad as I felt. Pretty sure I did though! Hopefully, they have forgotten the whole deal. I left with an antibiotic and a diagnosis of an Upper Respiratory Infection. I feel much better now. I believe the fever was the biggest problem. The worse part was not holding Molly until today! I still can't get in her face, and I know she is missing me kissing all over her...not! :)
Friday was another day at home. Thankfully, Spring has arrived and the kids were able to run off some of this energy they have stored up all winter! They played outside until it was dark, and we had a nice evening of America's Funniest Home Videos.
Today, I realized I must be better, because I have relapsed into my insomnia. Every since Molly has been born I can't sleep at night. (Except for Wednesday and Thursday night.) She is a wonderful sleeper and does great at night. I, on the other hand, not so much! I can't seem to wind down at night. It's become custom for me to be up at 3 or 4 when she wakes up for her feeding. I may sleep an hour or two and that's it. Last night I went to bed at 4:00am, got up at 4:30am and had all the laundry done and the playroom cleaned by 6:45am! I feel good, it's just bizarre to me. Oh well...
We were supposed to have Sissy's (Abby) birthday party today in Gaffney, but we decided, Thursday when I got sick, to postpone. I hate that we waited, because today was such a beautiful day. But, I am praying for another sunny day in a couple of weeks.
We did take her to the nail salon today and let her get her nails painted. She really thinks this is a special treat for her, but really it's a bigger treat for Brian and me! Abby's cuticles grow at record breaking speed. We can't keep them pushed back and her daddy is a little obsessive about finger/toenail care. (?) So, to keep us from having to hog tie her and listen to her screaming, we take her to the nail salon. There, she sits in that big girl chair like she just loves having her cuticles pushed back. Some people have criticized us for taking her to have her nails "done" at 5 years of age. I say it's worth the $10!! Plus Brian sits with her while I go window shop the mall. We all win!
Tonight, we are staying home, playing a little Wii, and enjoying the nice breeze coming through our open windows. I hope you all have a wonderful, worshipful, and restful Sunday tomorrow!
