Oh and the Concert… July 20, 2008

Miss G had a GREAT time. Maybe she will let me use a few pictures she took. They went to San Francisco and walked the Wharf and even drove down the “super wiggly road” Lombard Street I think. They had a BLAST…They are even planning on next year and going to make this a yearly event…new destinations each year. The had missed out on Alcatraz so that will happen next year for sure.  My oldest baby is growing up    : (

 

Sick Baby… July 20, 2008

Filed under: Miss T, feeding, health, life, prayer, worry — treasuresandsnares @ 2:25 am

I so don’t like it when my kids aren’t themselves. You know when they are QUIET and just LAYING AROUND.  Man, it always sends me into a panic.

Miss T did not do the road trip to Medford very well. It wasn’t so much the drive as it was the 102 heat that got to her. She seemed to brighten up the next day and all seemed well. Until Wednesday evening….she had dinner…all was well……….then IT began!!!

Throwing up!!! I know TMI, but you know this is the life of kids. So deal with it ; )  Anyway that continued until there wasn’t anything else in her little tummy. The rest of the ….whole night…. was flailing(how do you spell that?) She couldn’t seem to get comfy and wanted held but not. She wasn’t quite awake and occasionally she would have the dry heaves……..LOVELY!!!!

She got through that and in the morning we were to go and pick up Miss G and Miss A from Medford…I was not looking forward to that at all. We debated(Nana and Myself) who would go by themselves to get the girls. Neither of us had had a very good nights sleep and Miss T seemed sleepy but OK. So the decision we made we would all go and make it as quick as we could.

We got out of the car to stretch and maybe entice her with some sort of junk food, so she would have something in her tummy. She didn’t want anything so we hurried and then as Miss G picked her up and we were leaving……Miss T welcomed her home in the only way she was able at the moment….. Yep she threw-up on her. Welcome Home Sissy!!!! Did ya Miss Me???!!!

That was the only time that day she got sick and nothing on Friday. She even ate some chicken for dinner on Friday. Then this morning she was lethargic and throwing up anything she drank.

So we were off to the ER. They gave her a nausea suppository and she zonked out. She has kept the little bits we are giving her of liquid and even ate a quarter of a graham cracker….WOOOO HOOOO!!! I will take what I can get. She has lost weight and is just laying around…. very bothersome. I am used to her constantly on the move.  Please pray that she gets over this soon and that she doesn’t acquire any new food mouth aversions. Oh and that none of US get it either. ; )

 

Road Trip July 13, 2008

Filed under: Miss G, Uncategorized, family, fun, homeschool, life, love — treasuresandsnares @ 5:15 am

Guess where I am going in the morning?…… I am taking Miss G and her friend Miss A to meet up with my sister. My sister “Hainty”( we call her) is taking the girls to see……are you ready????………………………..JONAS BROTHERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh Yeah!!! They are so stoked it isn’t funny. Hainty is also taking them to IKEA and maybe even San Francisco. How much FUN are they gonna have : )

Miss G only got back a few days ago from Idaho for a Quiz Meet for 9 days. As soon as she gets back from California then we will hit the books for “review” cause she has her State Testing coming up. In the mean time she will be preparing for 4-H competitions. Oh the joys of a pack summer ; )

This has been the CRAZIEST summer we have EVER had. It is all good though!!!

Please excuses my absence :\ July 3, 2008

Things are well. Miss T’s ear cleaning went well she didn’t get new tubes cause there was no extra fluid. She did throw up after procedure this time but they gave her Demerol(sp?) I think that is what did it. She is doing well and her recent hearing test……..well was the same. I said to the audiologist….she is leaving and I thinking has short-timers…… I think Thea’s hearing is doing well she simply isn’t interested in listening to static.  The little cartoons that flash on the screen are not ones knows so that really isn’t a reward either. 

Oh she did a very interesting thing during the test. She responded when she heard a sound to her left, then immediately turned to the right BEFORE there was a sound coming from that direction. I asked the Audiologist if she had caught that, her response. Well yeah I did but I can’t count it. …………….. ?  I said Well I know but SMART COOKIE THIS GIRLIE!!! She knew that sound was going to come from that side next. She anticipated the next move. ….. I was excited even if the Audio wasn’t : P

My oldest went on a HUGE trip with our church for the Quizzing Team. They are drilled on Bible memorization. They are a young team so they mostly went for the experience not so much for a win. So far I think she is homesick but she hasn’t asked to come home yet… did I mention they are in Idaho, Oh and I am not.

So that is just a small bit of the latest goings on here….. the rest is irritating and depressing and frustrating…….and I have decided to not go there………….   : )

I hope to catch up on everyone soon and want you to know that those that have asked and that I have asked…..I am still praying for you even though I haven’t been checking on ya. I have been thinking about you… hopefully pictures soon…

You May Notice… May 26, 2008

I took the link to *photos” OFF. I have been reading more and more about weirdos taking photos or just looking at photos. I am really creeped out!!! I went to the my photos site and there was a message about someone wanting to “get to know me”. That is all I am gonna say on it so needless to say I have closed my photos blog and will only have this one. Sorry : (  it does make me sad because I too like to share my photos. I will still share some, However I am going to have to find out how to put one of those watermarks on them first. It may take awhile cause I’m not quick at learning that stuff…so be patient please.

 

 

So now I wait… May 24, 2008

Filed under: Faith, GOD, finances, health coverage, life, patients, prayer — treasuresandsnares @ 2:30 am

I don’t happen to be very good at that wait thing at all ; )  I think it went well today. I got to see the program they use in action and feel that with practice I can handle it.  Oh and guess what else…. After the program thing I then had a “meeting” with some of the ladies I could be working with. There were 5 including the Boss. They had a list of questions for me….. Some were why have I not worked outside the home for so long, Would I have a problem working such late hours, What do I consider my strengths and weaknesses.

Overall I felt good when I left the meeting. When they were done and I didn’t have any questions, the Boss asked if I could find my way out of the hospital? I said Yes. She said Ok well while you do that, We will stay here and talk about you a bit. I said OK, No pressure. They giggled and I felt good. So if this is not where God wants me then it won’t happen. I will have to be patient!!! Did I mention I am not good at that ; )

Stay tuned….

 

I got a call…. May 22, 2008

Filed under: Faith, GOD, finances, health coverage, life, prayer — treasuresandsnares @ 6:38 am

I got a call back for that JOB…………..!!!! Oh My Goodness!!!!! Ok so my next interview/test (typing, data entry, getting along well with others ;0)  is on Friday at 9:30am… Pacific time… Please pray Gods Will and that I will have peace which ever way it goes.

This job has very good benefits (medical, vision, dental) and retirement and life insurance… WOW this would be great!!! The hours is what drew me to it though… 2:30 pm-10:30pm. I will be able to be available for dr. appt. and therapy.  It is only a few blocks away too, so there wouldn’t be a huge gas bill. However I will have to get some new clothes. Darn I hate buying things for myself ; )  hehehe.

I guess I need to wait and see though. God willing this is what He wants. If not I know He will guide me the right way.
