Fevers, fevers, and a walking cast. What fun!

A week ago I was placed in a walking cast because they thought I may have ripped my Achilles tendon or did something to my nerves. Thursday when I was in class I was getting ready to take a test and all of a sudden the worst pain shot up my leg and was so bad that I was actually shaking. Long day, story, short, the doctor wouldn't see me and set up an appointment for the next day, great so I am in agonizing pain and she says see you later! So I go to the doctors and they take x-rays all the way to my thigh to make sure I haven't broken something odd, no go its something else.
Saturday I get up, go to work, and do my thing. I got that same pain around the same time of day and ended up having to go home because the pain was coming through even with the meds. they gave me. So now twice John has had to come into town to get me because the pain is so bad I can't drive. I spent the entire day with my foot up and the pain slowly going away. That night, just as I was getting ready to go to bed Ally comes out and says she doesn't feel well, she had a 102.5 temp. and looked red hot. At 2 AM her temp finally broke and she soaked the couch. She finally got settled again and Matt woke up with a terrible diaper. So Happy Valentines Day to me! Got two sick kids and a busted foot! Who could want more!
So now it is 12:24 AM on Monday morning, Ally is up with a nauseated stomach and another fever. GREAT!!!
Hope everyone's else was great! Happy Valentines Day everyone! Lu

Weekend starting out with a BANG!

Ally's school week is Monday ~ Thursday, so her weekend starts on Thursday afternoons. I was in class at about four when I get this text message from our babysitter "do you have Ally?" I jumped up in the middle of my lecture and ran out the door to call her and find out what was going on. Ally and another little boy hadn't gotten off the bus and we didn't know where she was. The baby sitter called the bus barn and I grabbed my stuff and ran out the door and started immediately calling everyone on the list that is okay to pick her up. No one had her so I then called my friend Krista to ask her if her husband had seen Ally when he picked his son up (they are in the same class), he said that he heard their teacher tell his daughter that Ally had gotten on the bus.
So John is at the school, I am checking at home to see if she walked home and mom is on her way in to grab Matt. Twenty minutes has passed by and I get a call from the babysitter saying that the bus driver had her and was turning around. This is when I found out that there was another little boy with her. They were busy playing on the floor of the bus in the back where they were not supposed to be and the driver didn't see them or hear them.
So everyone was called to let them know she was ok and that we had her.
Friday Ally was instructed to pay attention and went on a field trip to OMSI, she loved it! She got to make electricity and climb into a giant ear!
Wow, can't wait till the weekend is over!
'til later,

Monday, Monday...lalala

So what a weekend and oh what a Monday. So glad that this day is over.
This weekend we had an over the top P'OOOD customer and what really ticks me off is that once again I caught the crap that someone has created. I don't have a problem helping people or solving an issue but when the same problem keeps happening what the heck is going on!

So then I get my cell phone bill the top has just came off my lid! $383.00! for one month!!! What tha' ! Turns out my lovely little "helper" that "set me up" didn't do what I had asked and then also didn't tell me that my phone required a $9.99 a month data plan charge. I told them that had I known that I would not have changed!! So tomorrow I am going in to return $239.00 worth of cell phone, ear piece, charger and case. Goodness I love 30 day return policies, especially when I am t'd off!

On to bigger and better.

I love my family. Out of the blue today my husband called and told me that he loved me, that was it, just he loved me. It was a really nice surprise with the day that I was having.

Trouble chores and lots of work

So I have been working a lot less hours and being home a lot more. I am really kind of enjoying it! Matt is loving it, he gets to see mama a lot and I get him up and put him down every morning and night, I love it too! I am going to school full time this term and let me tell you I don't know how I am doing it but I am and so far so good, I have pretty good grades in my classes so far, lets hope I can keep it up.
I am really looking at my photography and what I want to do with it. I kind of feel stuck. I have things I want to do but because of financial inability I can't really grow with it, go figure right ;-) any who, I just feel stuck and am trying to get out of the rut.
Ally's glasses are wonderful! She is doing so good on her homework and her reading, she seems to be really excelling since she got her glasses.
So far so good!

I forgot...
Last night I posted this without the info on the trouble chores. Ally has been having some behavioral issues, such as yelling, back talking, attitude, almost the whole gamete and she isn't even a tween! Anyway after trying to talk to her, yell at her, ground her I have had it. This weekend she was the worst and I sat her down and explained that she was going to have trouble chores. Those are chores that need to be done but mommy doesn't want to have to do them, such as cleaning side boards, wiping down the walls, anything basically that I try to do last, like windows. Anyway, I digress, so one day Ally was absolutely horrendous and I was at my wits end. She did her chores, cleaning her room, dirty clothes that kind of thing, and then she had to do her trouble chore, clean the kitchen sideboards, all of them. They look wonderful!!

I have been doing this for a week now and she has had to do three of them, her attitude is really starting to change, thank goodness!!

'till later (lol)

Ally got glasses

Ya now how mother's have that "motherly sense"? well mine kicked in overdrive with Ally a few weeks ago and I decided that we should probably get Ally into see the eye doctor. John agreed and a couple of weeks ago I took her in with me for mine. When she saw the machines that they used she got a little scared so I went first and showed her how they worked.
They have one that puts a pouffe of air in your eye, I can't do that, I have tried it doesn't work and they have that noted (my eye is just a wussy), but Ally did it like a champ! So we did the beginning part and then it was time to go in with the doctor.

They had to put drops in my eyes to dilate them and I showed Ally what that meant. After my appointment the doctor got Ally into the chair and did the same routine with her, dilation and all. Come to find out Ally is "EXTREMELY" far sided and has a astigmatism. No kidding! The doctor asked why I thought Ally needed to come in and I said it was just an inkling I had.

So Ally has glasses and looks really cute with them on. Tonight we had our first homework assignment since getting them, she got them on Friday, and she read through it all with out a hitch! I am so happy, she seemed to have a great day today and she said she can read better now.
