Never say Never

When I was pregnant I would always say, "i am never going to..."

Co-sleeping: Still to this day I have stuck to my guns, although there have been nights and mornings where I will bring her downstairs.

Staying out late: Still going strong, we are ususally home by Lily Anne's bedtime. I really hate to see kids out at Wal-mart or the grocery store after 10 or 11.

Arguing infront of Lily Anne: FAIL. But we do make up infront of her, and tell we love her. I am guessing she see conflict and resolution

The list could go on for days! I really do try to keep a balance of the good and bad.

Happy Monday!

Joy it is Monday! Back to work....

Only in my childs eye

Cuteness! I could not help myself! hands crossed and cute as a button look.....seriously I am going to be in so much trouble one day. My mother's only comment..."I bless you with two fold". Exactly what does that mean?

ENT....

Well the story of our life. ENT visits!

So the left ear tube has fallen out. The right is still in. Funny! The on-call ped said opposite. Who do you believe? I believe the ENT any day.

Lily Anne is doing much better now. Thank you from up above.

catching a break...yeah right

YEAH RIGHT!

I am really beginnging to wonder about it all! We are on one BIG roller coaster. I would really like to take the exit lane instead of getting back on.

The day after Lily Anne's party she ended up with a nasty eye infection and a ear infection. However, I was not happy it....but happy with the fact that the tubes in ther ears were working the ear infection was draining out. (gross I know...but reality is gross). Oral meds, eye drops, and ear drops were in full working order. All was well in the household...so we thought.

This weekend started it all over again. Except it brought fevers, cranky, yucky baby! I thought just a cold, since her ear wer not draining except for Sunday she spiked a lovely 103 fever. Off to the after hour peds. Why the HELL did I say it was so nice not having to visit the peds office.

So now we have a double ear infection (although NO drainage)AND the DR thinks her tube has fallen out. SERIOUSLY!!! Dr (not her normal one) told us here is her meds and come back if you so not showing improvement in 2 or 3 days. Definitely come back in 2 weeks for a follow-up. Your normal Dr will most likely have you follow up with you ENT then. UM>>>nah, so yesterday we called the ENT office told them what is going on...Appt tomorrow at 11:40. I am a little bummed out...but I am hopeful that this will be over soon.

Lily Anne was a trooper yesterday. She stayed at home all day with daddy. I am so proud of him. As much as he gets on my nerves I can not live without him. He is such a great dad and husband.

UGH....sighs.

30 Day Challenge

Here's how it works:

*The 30 day blog challenge is not about blogging every day for 30 days. Realistically that's just setting you up for failure. Life happens, and not every day can we sit down and pour our minds out on a keyboard.

For six weeks straight, aim to write a new blog post five times a week. That could mean one blog post every weekday Monday through Friday, or just five random days throughout the week that work best for you.

Want to join in the fun....check out Falling for Baby for badge and all the rules!

Wordless Wednesday

Hot Hot Hot

It has been so hot here. The heat index is well of 100 each day...and looks like we are not going to see any relieve anytime soon. I have been the worst about walking evening since the heat started. I can barely make around the block without feeling yucky. Last night, I decided...enough is enough... Lily Anne outside we go. Water, toys and camera in tow.
