Let me ask you guys a computer question--i have no idea if this will even make sense..but as i am typing, after a few words, the letters i am hitting will go in the middle of another sentence--it seems to be wherever the cursor is pointing...Any ideas how to fix this? it is making it really ahrd to type!
I'm sorry -- have no clue. I hope re-starting helped.
Another busy night here. When I picked the kids up Alyssa complained of a sore throat. They wanted to go to the roller skating party that there school was sponsoring so we got there a little after 6. Alyssa complained again about her throat, but she wanted to stay. I could have taken her home and had another mom bring Nicholas home when it was over. So when we finally do get home and I get her inside I could tell she was running a fever. It was 101 so I got some ibuprofen in her. Now she is sleeping here in my bed. I hope it's a peaceful night for her. The good thing is her dad is off tomorrow so she can stay with him. Plus it's a long weekend for added recovery time. I just wonder if it is strep and if I should get her into the ped tomorrow.
I'd take her to the ped. It's a simple test, and if she does have it, she'd be on the road to recovery quicker.
I have thoroughly enjoyed reading about all the wonderful Valentine's gifts. It seems that our signigicant other's did a very good job, but I'm not surprised.
I had bought Chris several kinds of chocolates and delivered one box to him at work. The others he got after dinner. I also bought him a PS3 game. He was very happy. He and the boys went shopping Tuesday night and bought me a lovely silver necklace with a 2 heart pendant. That was placed around the neck of a stuffed monkey. When you squeeze it's tummy it whistle Whoot Woo and they made a little sign that says hubba hubba
They also got me my own Webkinz. It is a pink poodle. The kids have had me playing games on their accounts and they say I'm addicted so they got me my own
The kids all had parties at school and they seem to have had fun. I made breakfast for dinner. I made heart shaped pancakes, crepes, eggs and ham. We had bacon too. My parents came down for dinner. It was nice and the kids loved it. We all ate very well. We gave the boys each a box of Andes cherry mints and each got a toy. They have all gone to bed happy
I've been fighting some sort of cold or virus today. I had coughing during the night and have had a sore throat and aches all day. I'm hoping that I won't notice it tomorrow. Between Sudafed and ibuprophen I was able to function very well.
Hope you are better today. Edited... Just saw you are worse. Get a flu test to check and then tamiflu. It really cut the sick time when we took it last year. It sounds like a great V-day. WTG Brooks boys!
I had the best Valentine's Day present last night. When I got home Kristin was sitting in the kitchen with my dinner ready and a bottle of "Pinot Evil" Pinot Noir chilling in the wine cooler.
I had made both Bob and Kristin a large heart-shaped cookie and Bob stopped at the store and bought us a little heart shaped cake. He decided mine was the better effort.
But we sat around until about midnight talking about lots of things. It was just wonderful.
That sounds wonderful!
Yesterday was our late day in Dallas, as Andrew has band. We got home in time to get him changed to go to his baseball practice, and Jake and I made a quick run to the cemetary with flowers. Then we had dinner at SILs -- nothing very special, but better than fastfood.
Jake and I went home and watched TV, and Randy and Andrew got in around 8. Luckily, neither of the boys had homework (they had a jump-a-thon at school for SADS -- sudden arrythmia distress syndrome) so we exchanged gifts, the boys took showers and we all fell in to bed.
Jake and Andrew had already given me roses this week, and they each added to that. Jake brought home an additional rose that the mother's in charge of their party gave the kids to give to their Mom's, along with a small picture frame with a picture of him. He had made a potholder earlier this week in afterschool art, so he made a box out of his
lego's to hide it in. He also wrapped two of his favorite rocks to give to me. He wants me to put them on my desk at work.
Andrew drew me a card, and he and Randy also made me a photo V-day card which I love.
Randy and I decided to be low-key, but he did give me a cute bra/undie set from VS.
The boys always have early release on Friday, so I always get out of work early on Friday. We'll run a couple of errands, then have a quiet night.
Not much on the books for this weekend, other than a pedicure for me tomorrow. I hope to also start the de-cluttering/clean-out of my house this weekend.
Have a good day DDA!
Chills or Sweats, fever, cough, sore throat and ear ache. Along with some body aches. I think it might be the flu 
which for her is very high her normal is 97.6 same as me. Jeff did not pick the girls up till 6:45. So I might have to call in tomorrow if she is still sick. We are supposed to go to Waco next weekend. I hope the girls don't get sick.
I hope you get to feeling better, Deb. Does sound like the flu. Take care of yourself.
