Sick Fems

Well, its 6:30am on a Saturday, what else is there to do but blog?

So the weather guy is calling for some snow today. 90% chance. that means its about a 25% chance probably. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and my hopes up though.

Yesterday was absolutely FABULOUS. I stayed home from work cuz Angelle felt horrible. Took her to the doctor at 10. turns out she most likely has some weird strain of Strep. Not even sure what Strep is, but it sounds bad. Although it sorta just sounds like Step which is kinda cool. Stomp the Yard!!

While Ang is at the Dr, i take leah to the mcdonalds playplace cuz its fairly chilly outside and thats the only indoor playplace in Monroe. We play, eat some chicken nuggets, then go back and get angelle, drop off an Rx, grab some soup, head home, feed Angelle, feed Leah, feed Erin, realize its too late to put Erin down cuz she has a Dr appointment at 2, which we have to leave by 1:15 for, so i decide to put the girls in the car and hope they'll nap on the way. Leah falls asleep about 10 min away from the dr, but we arrived 30 min early so i drove around matthews for 25 minutes so she could continue napping. Of course Erin falls asleep right when we get to the Dr's office. she napped for about 10minutes.

Dr saw Erin. No ear infection. Probably not Strep (main test came back negative, have to wait for the culture). Chest congestion. Hopefully just a cold. Dr checked Leah's ears too just to be sure. Shes clear.

So we head back home, stopping on the way to pick up donuts for Angelle. Get home, deliver donuts, make leah toast with jelly (cuz of course, why in the world would she want a donut?) Get Erin to nap (i think Angelle actually did this part, but the day is a little hazy at this point). Play with Leah for awhile, go to Laurie's so Leah can play with Ian. Go home to get Erin when she wakes up. Go back to Lauries for dinner. Go back home to get erin's dinner. Go back to Lauries. Go back home to get Leah's milk and give angelle food. Go back to Lauries. Eat, take Erin home to let her nurse. Go back to Lauries. Gather up Leah, and come home again. If you missed that, it was 10 trips betweens our house and the Maddexes. WHEEEEEEEEEE!

Finally Leah goes down, Erin is down, and its time to drink a beer. I enjoyed a nice Japanese beer from my "beers of the world" collection. Thanks Zac! It was quite tasty. Asahi or something like that. Then Dennis and Brandon came over to help me unwind and play some Wii.

Then i fell asleep on the couch cuz our bedroom is a quarantined zone till today at 3pm at which the antibiotic should start working and ANgelle should no longer be contagious. T minus 8 hours 16 minutes and 23 seconds.

Erin slept great though! Went to sleep around 7:30 and woke up around 5:30!! yay! i think thats the longest stretch yet. ANd its 6:45 and Leah is still asleep. ALthough Erin is fussing, but hey, at least its not 2am.

Hopefully we'll get snow today, angelle will get better, we'll be able to go to West Virginia tomorrow, I'll get to snowboard, and the weekend will be peachy. Oh, and hopefully the Packers stomp the Giants like 48-0.

To anyone questioning getting married and having kids....today was tiresome and annoying but I got to spend a lot of time with Erin and Leah and it was awesome. So even the bad days have great parts and great parts definitely outweigh those tiring annoying times. Well, the nights of the first few months of the baby are pretty annoying, but you kinda forget all that when your toddler starts walking, saying Dada, I love you, and !Ayudeme! :)

Thank you Mr Martin Luther King Jr, not only for naming the road that serves as an entrance to my neighborhood, but also for being such a great guy that the banks close in honor of you! 3 day weekend! WOOHOO! and boy do i need it.

PEACE
