Currently home with the two sickies - otherwise known as Middle and Youngest.
Still waiting to hear from Dr. Tom about the next step in Youngest's hearing loss.
Need to go clean. Ugh....

Catching Up - Past
OK - pinky swear aside - I did mean to catch up the other day. Life, it got in the way again.
December:
Christmas was fantastic. Oldest loved the cell phone and was blown away that she got one. So far, so good with it.
Mom and Dad were able to make the drive up to visit. They stayed for a few days - we hit up Target and both outlets (Tanger and Rockvale.) Mom did pretty well with the shopping especially since she hates to go.
January:
1st - Middle and I ran in the New Year together. Yes, my 6 year old made it to midnight and actually even later. She realized that it was AM and thought she should just stay up. Yeah, that didn't happen.
3rd - made a road trip with Youngest to Timonium, Maryland to hit up the Recollections Scrapbook store since it was closing. We had a good time, and she was a huge help with picking out new supplies. She was great for throwing Memory Makers paint in my basket - everyone had to have their own color.
5th - Middle's first basketball game, and Daddy is the coach. She did OK - a little 'tude, but it worked out overall. The I had a date with J to Panera Bread that night. Oldest watched the younger two so we could go out for an hour. It was sooooo nice to eat by ourselves and just talk. We went over to the Kirkland Outlet and the Restoration Hardward Outlet, but didn't buy a thing.
6th - the sickness came....Middle was throwing up in the bathroom @ 1 AM. Oh, my gracious - NASTY!!! I don't know what she picked up, but it was B-A-D.
7th - Youngest failed her second hearing test. We now have the referral to the ENT doctor. Make an appt. with Dr. Tom of CHoP. He is suppose to be very good.
11th - Oldest has a tooth pulled to make the braces work this time. They better for 4 freakin' thousand dollars.
12th - went to Julia's crop in Maryland for the day. Oh, how nice to have a little time for myself. J is fantastic about that.
14th - Oldest gets the rest of the braces on. She picks pink - who knew? Last year she despised pink. Teenagers.
19th - Middle scores her first basket in basketball. Way to go, girl!! She was so proud of herself.
20th - decide it might be time to move since the new house next too us is in our front yard. Yeah - that SUCKS!!!! We are so very pissed off at our builder. Talks with him are ongoing to try to rectify this situation. We went to look at a few new houses today - but we were not blown away by any.
21st - took Oldest to see 27 Dresses and out to dinner at Macaroni Grill for a Girls' Day Out. She seemed to have a great time hanging out with Mom. The movie was good - it is a total Chix Flix.
22nd - Middle to the peds because enough is enough with this mess. I am tired of her being so sick. Not much to do but let it run its course.
23rd - took Middle out to breakfast since the "issue" seems to be subsiding. Just to be safe, she sticks with the BRAT diet. We went over to see J at school. Middle took a picture to him that she had colored at breakfast. Went to look at a house tonight in a neighborhood with tons of kids, but it was a no go. The backyard was not workable since it was straight down. The basement; however, was clean enough to eat off of.
24th - Youngest sick again
25th - Youngest too sick to sing in Winterfest.
26th - Middle - peds again. HIVES. Ugh... a side effect of the virus she has been fighting for three weeks
28th - meet with the real estate agents about selling the house. We might lose 3 - 4% due to the placement of the house next door. We are PISSED OFF to say the least. Oh, and I do NOT want to pay them $20,000 as their commission to sell my house. Ridiculous. I've never paid anyone that amount to sell my house - won't start now.
29th - take Youngest to Wal-Mart to pick up some groceries and stuff for Oldest's BD Party - find a big ol' nail in the tire. The tire is going "SSSSSSSS" and going down. High tail it back in the car and go over to H&F to get it fixed. Of course, it is also raining and freaking cold. Figures.
31st - Youngest's first appt. with Dr. Tom. Tests with the audiologist. Nothing conclusive except that she has a conductive middle ear hearing loss. At the point the cause is unknown. CT Scan is the next step. Schedule that for February 6th in King of Prussia.
February:
1st - Oldest's BD Sleepover. She seems to have a good time, and they were asleep by 11 PM. What is up with that? They are 14!! It's OK - I'll take it.
2nd - Oldest's 14th Birthday. How the hell did that happen? I was just taking her to her first day of kindergarten the other day. Crazy, crazy, crazy how time is flying.
We went rollerskating as a family. This was a first and tons of fun!! Willow Street sponsored it. Youngest did a better job than Middle - and then Youngest promptly threw a fit when it was time to leave. I had a fantastic time - I haven't skated in years, but picked it up again easily. I even went BACKWARDS!!!
4th - started my One in 48 class with Hillary Heidelberg's NYCScraps. Great sketches to work with and color schemes.
5th - Middle's 100 Days of School Celebration. She had to dress as a 100 year old woman. Yeah, she wasn't too into it, but some of the other kids were. Very original costumes.
Oldest had High School pre-registration. OMG! Stop growing up so damn fast.
That is it for the PAST. Now onto the Present....

Youngest's CT Scan
The scan was yesterday morning, and she did rather well. She moved a little during some of the pictures (she was being such a brave girl trying not to cry), so at this point she may have to go back, be sedated, and have the CT Scan all over again. I am praying hard that that doesn't happen.
So far, no phone call or info from the doctor. I don't know where we go from here as far as her hearing. One day at a time, I guess.
After her scan yesterday, we hit up Toys R Us for another set of Littlest Pet Shops - that was the bribe for the scan. Youngest had a blast talking about all of the choices and picking out a new set of five. Then I took her out to lunch. Since we were in King of Prussia we went to Bahama Breeze. It was OK - she got mac n cheese; I tried the Coconut Shrimp. Not great, but not horrid either.
Updates on the hearing issues when I get them.

five weeks is W.A.Y. too long to be sick
but in this house, that is just what is happening. Middle and Youngest (and the other three of us to a lesser extent) have been sick since January 6th. Enough already!! Middle woke up with a temp of 101.4 under her arm. Her cough is horrible. Youngest is right behind her. Both have an appt. with the Nurse Practioner today. I hope they have something treatable rather than just a bad cold because we need some rest. They are both up coughing all night and that is WITH the meds. Gracious. I am O.V.E.R. it - puking, diarrhea, coughing, sneezing, runny noses, all of it. GO AWAY, GERMS!!!

I am waiting...
I am suppose to be monitoring a teacher right now - but she has no students in class. I cannot write her evaluation without the teaching and cannot leave until her session is over just in case someone shows up. So here I sit so let's catch up...
Friday, November 30th - went to Patti's house for crop and got a few pages done
Saturday, December 1st - took Middle & Youngest to the MU Christmas Party sponsored by a student working on class project; took all three girls to pick out the Christmas tree without Daddy who was at Immaculata finishing a class
Tuesday, December 4th - training for my new job as Instruction Monitor
Wednesday, December 5th - Dad's 66th birthday; our first snow of the season; the day of my almost car accident thanks to said snow
Thursday, December 6th - the day Middle's teacher called and NOT to tell me about Middle's day but rather discuss the Christmas party - Thank Goodness!!; the day all of the girls got to sled; the day I took our 2007 Christmas card photo outside in the snow AND ordered the blasted cards; the day the battery died in the Explorer because DH put it getting a new one for a year - yeah, guess whose car he took because of the dead battery? oh, and Dad has a badly torn rotators cuff - more surgery???
Friday, December 7th - finally it's Friday; more snow - but just a dusting even after 4 or so hours; went over the Christmas present list with DH; am super tired and have a train ride with Santa in the morning with the family
OK - the teacher's session is over and I am tired. Going to bed. 'Night y'all!
