I know you are all waiting anxiously to see what smart insight I have into Obama's speech last night, right? Ha. Here is all I have the energy to remark on regarding that: He actually said he is not for big government. Goodtoknow.
I'm a little more concerned about what's happening around our house right now, so here's the skinny:
Little m is sleeping peacefully at nap time after a very rough night. Finally I wised up and offered her a grape (her fave flavor of Tylenol) Popsicle which she ate a little of while half asleep. That's was the smartest mom thing I've done all year. She slept much better after that. Her fever is off and on. After a horrific morning yesterday of strep testing and urine cultures (yes that involved going to the pediatric floor of the hospital for a catheter) we received a call from the pediatrician this morning. The verdict: a virus. That means no magic pill to cure it of course. So I hope it runs it's course quickly. When her fever is down she is playing and mostly happy, so I'm thankful for that! I hate watching my kiddos suffer!!
Little d is doing well and playing with barbies. Scratch that, she's climbing all over my chair as I type.
D is back to work today. I really missed him this morning. Little m is really dependent on him for sleeping right now. And he has been A-Mazing with helping out. Could not have made it without his help. Luckily, after tomorrow he starts his seven (days off). I am wishing and hoping and dreaming and praying and planning that we will have some family fun then and be done with the yuckies.
Home news: we are going to begin the clearing out of stuff so we can put it on the "market". I use that term loosely because I really have no idea where the "market" is here. The house next door has been for sale for a long time. Usually homes sale relatively quickly in our neighborhood. It's a newer neighborhood with young families. It's quiet and near all the new shopping that's going on in town. Our home appraisal value has risen about $30,000 in the seven years we've been here.
I really can't think about house stuff right now. I am just too sad that our dream plans have been shattered. I know we are still doing so well compared to some people and for that I am very grateful, but. I'm a planner and a control freak, remember? So when things slip out of my control well, makes me not happy.
End on a high note right? That's the formula for a good State of the Union. The gums are doing much better. I actually ate Whataburger chicken strips and white gravy yesterday. Guilty pleasure...I'm allowed. Besides I'm trying to gain back that seven pounds I lost. NOT!

Im glad your doing better. I have never tried the tylenol pops, Ill have to give them a whirl the next time one of the girls need it. Its no fun giving them meds. I watched a small bit of the presidents address. The small it i saw wasn't too impressive, it just seemed like a pep talk. so really no comments there from me.
