Anyone Want Some Sick Kids?

Oh My Lord! My kids and this bug are sending me! Jack broke out in a rash last night - my first thought was allergy to penicillan. So after waiting on health link for 42 minutes, I finally got through. By this time the rash on his legs had almost disappeared but the spots on his torso and butt were still there. So no allergy - I don't think - just another part of this lovely bug he has.

Mardi was complaining of a sore tummy last night so I decided to keep her home from school one more day - I will send her tomorrow!

Jack woke up in some kinda mood today (at 10am!)! So I assume he still feels like crap! AAAAHHHH!!! Everything has to be better by next week? No?

Date With My Daughter!

Yesterday was the second time in a month that Mardi and I had a "date"! Jack was sick sick sick so JD suggested that Mardi and I go do something, get out of the house! You don't have to tell me twice after spending what seems like weeks indoors.

Her and I looked online to see what movies were playing and we found Bedtime Stories - she loved the trailer so that was our plan! We went to Calgary and bought our tickets for later in the day and then went to her new favorite store - Petland! We bought some "toys" for our fish, and checked out all the animals and fish!

Then we hit McDonalds - her favorite place to eat! After lunch we headed to the movie. Her and I were the ONLY ones in the whole theatre - who has better places to be at 1:30pm on a Monday! We loved the movie! She told me that it was "the best popcorn and pop she had ever eaten"!!! Love her enthusiasm!

She fell asleep on the way home - I packed her in and put her to bed for a nap. Jack on the other hand was in rough shape! I felt awful for leaving him because when I came home he had a nasty fever and just wanted to snuggle on the couch. Poor guy.

We had a so-so night last night - Jack still not feeling good. Glad we are going to the doctor today - too bad the appointment is for the wrong kid. Hope they aren't mad when I ask for Jack's chart too!

Still thinking home schooling is the answer to these damn sicknesses! Sure they may want to marry each other in the future and be socially inept....but saves on sleepless nights and fevers!!! Hee hee hee!

Kids Are Still Sick!

Kids are still sick....



that's all!!!




Sorry nothing exciting here means nothing exciting on here either!

Sick Kids!

Today is supposed to be Jack's 3rd birthday party, but 2 nights ago Mardi was up crying most of the night with an earache! So yesterday JD took her to the hospital to get looked at and get some drugs. Then Jack started coughing and getting warm so I did what was necessary and cancelled the party for today! Good thing as it is 9am and the party was set for 10am and the birthday boy is still sleeping ~ rough night for him!

So today I am going to do some cleaning, and laundry. What fun! When JD gets home from feeding the horses I am going to go for a walk! Needing some fresh air!!! He told me to go do something - I would love to but I am too tired! He got us a movie to watch tonight - looking forward to it! Hope the kids crash early so we can too!

Happy Saturday everyone!

Another Project Done!

Well after painting Jacks' bedroom I had an itch to do our ensuite! Actually truth be known I have several other rooms I would like to do!

So yesterday I ran down and got a quart of paint to do the bathroom - it is small enough to only need a quart!

After getting home from the city and getting supper done I tackled the next project. I started at 7pm and by 10:30pm I was finished for the night! Unbelieveable how long it took for such a small space! Then this morning I finished touch ups.

Here are the before and afters!!

My Weekend Accomplishment!

So this weekend I was planning on sitting on the couch and watching curling but I had a yearning to paint!!! Since Jack got new bedding for his birthday this week I have been wanting to spruce up his room! So on Thursday I went to the Benjamin Moore store and got the swatch book. It was like it was my birthday - I am in love with paint samples!!! After choosing 2 samples I downloaded their "personal color viewer"! LOVE IT!!! You upload pics of your rooms and change the paint color to whatever you choose! I had so much fun. Once my hubby got home I showed him the results on the computer, knowing he wasn't a huge fan of me painting I knew seeing the difference would change his mind! And it did!!

So Saturday I started and by Sunday afternoon the room was back together and ready to hang new pictures on the walls! Here are the before and afters! Now watch out ensuite - you are next!!!
