i'm back

I finally remembered my blog. I totally forgot about it since we moved. We are so thrilled that school is out!!!

Busy Busy

Dalton is getting over bronchitis and sinus infection. Dominic has pink eye and double ear infection again. We are having a consultation on May 13 to get tubes in his ears. I hope that goes good like it does for Dalton. He is on his third set; I hope Dominic does not need that many. Dakota is off on his bike most of the time. Usually comes back with a new mark every day. But if he don't get his grade up the bike is going to get locked up.

Dakota and Dalton are about to start there baseball season. Dalton was to have practice tonight but with all this damn rain it was cancelled. Dakota has practice this Sat. We will see if the rain stays away.

Rain Rain Go Away and Don't Come Back for a While!!!!

My day off

Dalton had a dentist appointment this morning. He did wonderful. We did a little shopping. He found a pillow that has a rainbow on it and says "Get Over It". He thought he had to have it cause it was so soft. I told him it was a girl pillow and he did not seem to care. We did buy it. On the way home we seen the Easter Bunny at Samuel Music. We stopped and he had a guitar that he let the kids touch. Dalton was kinda shy for some reason. I have a pic on my phone but don't know how to print. Sorry!!

While he went to preschool I got things ready for Easter. I just hate these holidays sneaking up on me. Dakota is done with title 1 after school now. Dominic finally got his first tooth today. I think more are coming in very soon.

We would like to wish everyone a "Happy Easter". I probably won't get on til after. We are going to St. Louis Friday for a Blues game.

All Sick

Dakota was sick on Friday and we finally got in at the doctor and he had strep. Saturday Dalton ran a temperature and slept all day. Sunday he was coughing but running around. Early Monday morning Travis was throwing up. I called the doctor Monday for Dalton and they gave him some medicine. I am not liking this pattern at all.

Dominic goes back to the doctor tomorrow to check his ears again. Hope that situation is cleared up. I am busy working and disinfecting my house. My chiropractic appointment will be wonderful tomorrow.

Still Here - Heck of a week

Saturday Trav and I went to St. Louis for his union 105th party. Wow!! It was fun but did not like dressing up. It was like prom. Sunday we went shopping in St Charles with Hank and Jamee. Thanks guys, that was fun!!! We plan on going back soon with the kids to play. Monday morning I have a flat tire. Tuesday I did not have a pharmacist at work. We were to have a fill-in but he did not show. Finally our Pharmacy supervisor decides to come. (I do not know how in the hell he got his job. I knew more than he did) It was also truck day and it was running late. Wednesday we were short handed so I had to go back to work and close that night. Thursday I had a girl call in sick and I said that I was not coming back. Abby (the manager) is on vacation and Karen is sick; that don't leave me too many options. The other girls did not return my calls. I did have one reliable person. Thanks Kiley!!! But I am getting tired of doing everything and getting nothing in return. SHITTY WEEK!! We'll see how Friday goes. Thank god I am off this weekend.

Dominic has his second ear infection. He went back today for a check on his ears and they are still infected - red, bulging, and has puss. So we are going to try a different antibiotic. If this don't work we may try one more antibiotic or tubes. That is all I need - another child with tubes.

A huge thank you to my mom

I was off on Tuesday and then Wednesday morning at 6 am I get this call from Lil (my wonderful sitter) saying that she went to the ER Tuesday night because she could not breathe and she was going to take the day off. That was fine. Since Trav is back to work and he was able to watch the kids before I thought that I should stay home this time. So I called Abby and everything was fine.

Last night I went to Trav's parents to do our taxes and got home at 10 pm and seen we had a message. As I went to press play, the phone rang and it was Trav on his way home from school and was very tired. So then it was 11 when I got to listen to the message. It was Lil saying she was running a fever and was not watching kids on Thursday. Well it was too late to call anyone so I got up at 5:20 and called my mom. She was willing to miss work today since I missed yesterday. My grandma even helped for an hour. She could not believe how much Dominic had changed since Christmas. I probably could have missed another day. My mom was even going to take Friday off if I needed her. But good news is that Lil is fine now and is watching kids tomorrow (Friday).

Thanks again mom!!! and grandma Betty!!!

Typical Monday

Mondays always suck!!! Especially when I just worked the weekend. I wish I could find a job that I would not have to work weekends. I did apply for the assistant to the city treasurer.

Dominic got his 6 month shots today. Lil said he was a little fussy this afternoon. He also has a cold. He did pretty good. Lucy Bierman has two little bottom theeth now. She is so adorable. Dominic has been teething since December and still no teeth. But atleast he is not cranky. Thank god!!!

My weeks are about to get more complicated. Dakota is playing basketball now. I guess it is good that he is outgoing and not shy now. He has practices on Saturdays and games on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It will be fun though!!!
