Long time, no blog

Sorry it's been a little while...it's been kind of busy! Let's see...I guess I'll start from today and go back. Today has been a little rough for me, my mouth is kinda sore after having all four of my wisdom teeth removed yesterday. The good thing was I was out for the whole procedure-I'm a chicken when it comes to dental work! I got back in the room and sat in the chair-they took my blood pressure and put a few monitors on me, the doctor came in put a needle in my arm-he said,"This stuff works pretty quick-you'll probably feel a strange feeling" Well, I did start feeling weird and that's the last thing I remember! I told Todd we need a couple bottles of that stuff around here! :-) My dad was there the whole time-I had to have someone waiting there to drive me home. Todd was in class and I hated for him to miss. My mother took off work and stayed with the kids-I appreciated that so much! I really needed to get these wisdom teeth out. I am thankful it hasn't been too bad-although I have been sore some-I don't tolerate pain medication very well. I have just been taking Aleve.
So, I covered yesterday, too...I had my wisdom teeth out and then I laid around all day.

Tuesday was the usual stuff, school, trying to get ready for a Valentine party @ church, and doing any little things I wanted to have done before this tooth ordeal.

Monday, I worked, then came home at lunch so Todd and my dad could go to the property to see how much damage was done there during the ice storm. I finished school w/the girls when I got home-Todd took Spencer with him-then I finished our taxes and sent them in efile. Later that evening the kids and I went to a couple of stores getting a few things for the Valentine party.

Sunday was a usual day-church, home, church. :-)

Saturday we went to a couple from our church's house so Todd could help them cut up limbs and all from the ice storm. We enjoyed our visit-Todd was glad to be able to help them.

Friday, I took Savannah to the dr in the morning. She weighed 9 lbs and 6 oz. She was about average or a little above on her weight....she was 23 3/4 inches long-she was in the high 90's as far as percentiles on height! It's so funny how long she is! She is such a sweet baby. I thought she had to get some shots, but was relieved when I found out they don't start 'til next month! :-) After the dr appointment, I took Savannah with me to the office. Luckily, my sister stopped by (my mother works there, too, she's the office mgr) with my nieces. They had been to their endocrinologist-he is going to put them both on an insulin pump. We are so glad-that will help them better control their diabetes-they are 10 and 8, so the better they are controlled now the better it will be in the long run! Laura, my sister, took Savannah with her because she lives close to me and she was going home. I was able to get some work done-not as much as I would've liked. That night, we went out and got Seth a new mattress for the toddler bed. Todd moved the crib into the girls' room, although Sav. isn't sleeping in it yet-then he brought down a toddler bed for Seth out of the attic. We put his new Cars bedset on it...he loved it...'til time to go to bed!!! He kept climbing out....he got so many spankings that night! He's staying in it now...I think he likes it.

Thursday was Seth's birthday. Todd was at class for a long time-we never know exactly how long they are going to stay. Of course, he had mentioned something to the kids about what we would do...so all day they were chomping at the bit about going somewhere! He finally got home...then the man showed up who was going to fix the windshield on the van. He didn't get there 'til a little after 4-didn't finish 'til after 5! I do not like going to Chuck E. Cheese or any place like that during busy times. Also, we were going to have to drive about 25 minutes or so through downtown to get over to Indiana-I didn't feel like doing that in rush hour either. We decided to go to the "play McDonald's" close to our house. The kids were fine with that...it was busy in there, too...I hate how some people just let their kids run wild and do whatever! Oh well, the kids had a good time. Then, we went to my parent's house for cake.

I think that's about it...or all I remember now...especially with kids running around...one is making horse sounds...one is acting like a dog.....never a dull moment!
