GOT MY COMPUTER SCREEN IN THE MAIL TODAY

And guess what?! They up graded it!!! It is awesome! I had a rough past two days with Birthday crazies and baby teething. So this is a pleasant surprise.

My Big 5 year old

I can't believe she is FIVE. She told me it was the "BEST DAY EVER!". She truly loved all of her toys. She had a strawberry shortcake cake (homemade). She has very mature taste buds. She NEVER eats off the kids menu. She told me today she wants to make cupcakes and her Aunt Tara bought her a chef hat and apron so I will be sure to post pics of that soon also. Oh and I will email the rest of the pictures also.

HELP 911 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My BRAND new computer monitor will not work! I don't want to share a computer with Aaron again! Yes, of course we want to get online at the same time and yes, some how my alotted time is ALWAYS interupted!!!! NO FAIR!

We called HP and told them our little problem of looking at a blank white screen. Yep, it went bad! I was throughly enjoying my HD HUGE SWIVEL screen!!!!!! IT IS ONLY A MONTH OLD!

On a good note, they are mailing us a new one. (Be here by May 5th)

On a bad note, I will not be able to get on as often as I like. I will try to stay as current as I can.

Sincerely,
Spoiled and bitter!

Pictures!

Sheridan's Birthday

We are having a birthday party for Sheridan on the 25th of this month. For some strange reason she wants a Strawberey Shortcake Party. She has never seen this at our house, but luckily Kroger has a -Strawberry Shortcake- cake in their cake catalog. So I am good there. I have two present ideas from her. She is dying for an easy bake oven and a skate board. I swear she is 4 going on 12! So I have the presents I plan on getting. I just DISLIKE all the cleaning you feel like you have to get done before people come over. Yuk...but don't think I will start any earlier then a day or so before.

Aaron and Cael

Aaron Michael is 26 days older. Aaron's bigger, but younger cousin is on the right. This is my sister Jules' baby boy. These fellows are going to be lady killers with their big blue eyes!

Just my day! I just smiled my way through it.

OH MY GOODNESS!

Little Aaron has had this congested nose thingy going on for 3-4 weeks now. I knew the doctor wouldn't give me anything for this so I just dealt with it. It didn't effect how he acted at all and things seemed fine. Well this past weekend he became Evil baby. He was sleeping only a hour at a time (in the middle of the night), he screamed anytime he was set down, he wasn't eating well, and running a low-grade fever. So this morning....

7:40AM (oops alarm clock didn't go off, woke up at this time on my own!!!!)

I ran and got Sheridan and Josie up. I threw their clothes at them and told them to move as fast as they could. LOL. Yeah right! I got myself a 4 minute shower, threw some clothes on, and brushed my teeth. I got the baby up and started to change him and GUESS WHAT...he began peeing everywhere. So bathing him in the sink ate up another 5 minutes. Got him done. Packed the diaper bag. Grapped poptarts for the girls and we booked it! In the midst of this I let the dog out, turned off all the lights, and hung the phone up.

Would most men be able to do that...I think not! I know for a fact Big Aaron would have forgot the diaper bag, the baby wouldn't have socks on, and EVERY light in the house would have been on. Oh and I grabbed poptarts for the toddlers, go me!

So at 8:10AM (can you believe it) I was loading the kids in the car. Let me tell you, yesterday it was sunny and 70+ degrees outside. No not today!!!! Mother Nature decided it needed to be freezing and raining. What does Josie do? She ran around the side of the house to pick a flower! AHHHHHHH! Ok we are all in the car now!

Oh it gets better!!!!

The gas light is on!!!! Are you serious??? Just let me be struck by lightening! Get gas and I am back on the road. It is 8:20. I am driving in the rain to the doctors that is 45 minutes away from my house. My appointment is at 9am! No worries, we made it! Luckily or I would have had to throw myself in traffic.

Here is the BILL!
$60.01 Balance the insurance didn't pay from an appointment in January.
$35.00 Copay
$20.80 Charge for the visit.
$30.00 2-prescriptions.
Totaling= 145.81

And not to mention I used about 10 bucks in gas to get there and back!!!! Oh and I have to rent a breathing treatment thing from them and I am sure the insurance company will just love that!

So all in all the baby had Bronchiolitis. Which is a common illness of the respiratory tract caused by an infection that affects the tiny airways, called the bronchioles, that lead to the lungs. As these airways become inflamed, they swell and fill with mucus, making breathing difficult. WOW. That was a shock. And he has an ear infection. He might have asthma from now on!

He is great during the breathing treatments though and they help immediately. He just sits there and lets me hold the mask to his face. Which is unlike him. He has a temper!!!!! Oh and of course I had to make two different trips to the Pharmacy because there was a problem with one of them!

All is well. I just needed to vent and I am so glad my littleman feels better!
