Spring Cleaning

Hailee came home yesterday complaining of her back hurting. Apparently the problem has went on for the last couple of days at school and they finally sent home a note last night regarding it, so I gave her a warm bath to try and comfort her. Apparently she has chronic constipation, and an UTI; on top of that the have sent her lab for a further culture on her lab because they think that she might have this Impetigo internally. So I had to let her school know what was going on with Nicole's school because Hailee has been exposed, and so have some of the other kids that go to her school that live next door to my mom.

Nicole has a sore under her nose that looks like a cold sore. So I took off from work to take the to the doctors. Which I am really glad that I did. Apparently there was a breakout of Impetigo in Nicole's preschool/daycare last week in another hall; and they didn't think it was important to tell any parents about it. Well I found out that what we thought was a simple cold sore, is actually Impetigo and can be spread very easily. So everything in the house that Nicole has touch or slept with or anything has to be cleaned in Hot water to be disinfected. Nicole keeps picking at it, which is how it gets spread.

The doctor told me that I have to extremely careful because I can get it easier than Robert because my body is fighting illnesses for 2. So kids are out of school for the rest of the week and I will be off work. I just really wish that when kids were sick their parents would not send them to school, or that the school would have better communication with parents. I thought we were over being sick in the house. But I guess we will have to stick it out another week. So since everything has to be cleaned it's a great time for spring cleaning. There's no reason to keep the junk!! Right? lol

I guess the upside to this is I get to work from home for the next couple of days, because the kids don't get to go anywhere. I have to do auditing for the 300-400 pledge sheets that we entered for the week. So at least I will still hit 35 hours on my paycheck!

Well that's it for now, I think. Hope everyone has a great day!

OH!!

I don't know how I forgot about his excitement, however, the building that I work in was on lock-down today. There was an officer that was shot at 2 blocks to the east of us. I thought that I was going to have to reschedule the baby's appointment. The building was locked down for over 2 hours. They finally allowed me to leave with an escort out of the building and the doors had to be locked, and I had to go out the wrong way (one way) street to get out on another road. The officer that was shot at is okay though.

Baby Update!

Happy Be-lated Easter to all!!! I got pictures of the girls, however, they are not uploaded to the computer yet. Will post when I get the chance.

Ok, I know it's been a while since I have updated everyone. So we went to the doctors today. Robert and I got to hear the baby's heart beat. Sounded great! We go back on April 22nd, but I will keep everyone updated. The doctor says my sonogram/ultrasound will be in approx 8 weeks, which is in May sometime. YEAH!! We can't wait, the doctor says we should be able to see what the sex of the baby is. So Sandie we will let you know as soon as we find out. You'll be called before the site is updated! Promise.

The girls started back to school, they were out last week on Spring Break. Thank goodness they went back. They were getting crazy, they were off schedule. They are ready for school to be out for the summer. Robert wanted to go fishing, but the weather didn't cooperate with him! I guess he will be going soon enough. He only has a couple more months of school, along with the kids.

I took the USPS test for the Data Entry Position here, I am awaiting the test results.

Well that's it for now. I will post again soon.

So...

Ok, well a short update. I know that I have not posted in over a week now. I am at a stand still with H&R Block, there is no more hours until the 1st of April and then we are done with the tax season on April 15th. So, knowing that I need to work, I went and got a temp job at Big Brothers Big Sisters, inputing data for the Bowl For Kids' Sake. In while doing that, I have joined one of the teams, along with Hailee, but the net is down so it will not let me join our team. However we go bowling on April 6th. I think that Hailee is really excited about getting to bowl to help kids that her age.

Well, I am over being sick which is really great. I feel 10 times better, we go back to the doctors in a couple weeks and I am hoping that the doctor will be able to pick up the baby's heart beat. I am eating 5 small meals instead of 3 big meals. I don't drink any pop that has caffeine in it. I as well don't smoke, Robert is cutting back. He smokes by the front or back door, but not really in the house. It makes me sick. lol.. Well I think that is it for now..

Bowl for Kids' Sake

Hi I'm fundraising for Big Brothers Big Sisters this year by participating in the Bowl For Kids' Sake event. Please sponsor me. You can make a pledge or donation by clicking one of the links next to the picture on my page, which is at http://www.kansasbigs.org/bfks/bowlerview.aspx?id=jlshafer9 ..... Hailee is also doing it, she is excited because she gets to bowl for free and raise money for kids in our community, her page is as follows. If she gets over $150 then she will get a free t-shirt. If not she still gets to have a pizza party and hang out with kids her age. http://www.kansasbigs.org/bfks/bowlerview.aspx?id=Hailee

Thanks very much for your support, it means a lot. Both Big Brothers Big Sisters and I thank you in advance for any support you can give.

UGH!!

Ok, I know it's been a couple days since I have updated everyone. I have been really, really sick. Robert thought that I might have bronchitis. The doctor told me that I had to suffer, because there is nothing that I can take for it. So I take a cough drop at night (because I can only take 2 in 24 hour period, if more than that was taken apparently it can crystallize the baby's lung,) so 1 is enough for me. So lots of 7-up, Sprite, juice, and water has been my diet for almost a week. Until the night before where I finally was able to eat a little something. Robert has been taking care of the girls on his day off (the weekend) so I can sleep. So today I feel a lot better!! Not quite myself but at least I don't feel like I can't get out of bed.

Robert got sent home today, because of all the rain, he called it rained out. He's been playing in mud all last week. So he took a day for rest. He feel back asleep watching T.V.. lol But he has class tonight so at least he is resting up for it!

The girls finally cleaned there room, I mean really cleaned it. They put their toys were they were suppose to go. Of course Hailee did the most of it with help from me, but she tried, so that's what counts there! They are both doing so good in school. And luckily neither one of them of gotten sick from me. Knock on wood.
