Fortunately I'm not sending any kids off to school yet. I panic just thinking of sending Abby to Kindergarten. It goes by so fast, it makes me sick to my stomach. She's so big, and getting so smart. It's almost all over. The sweet years have not come to pass, but they will soon. I miss the big wet kisses from her toothless mouth. =( She's been having stomach problems since last Sunday. I've been riding it out to see if it's a virus. Well it's not a virus because we've hit the 7 day mark and Phillip and I haven't gotten it, and neither have her classmates. I took her to the doctor on Friday and they sent me home with stuff to get samples of her bowels with. (that was fun) I dropped them off this morning on my way to work. She hasn't complained at all except when she has to go to the bathroom. She's been eating the same and I've been giving her alot of Gatorade and water. It appeared to be getting better over the weekend but, I got called to come get her today. Apparently she went 4 or 5 times and was complaining her stomach hurt. She was sleeping when I went to get her. Poor thing. The doctor said it could be up to 5 days for results. He testing it for Crypto. Apparently there isn't really an efficient way to treat a public pool for this as it is a parasite. (or so the doctor said) I won't know until the results come back if that's what it is or not. So she'll be eating lots of bread and bananas the next few days to try and stop her up. She's still too young to give over the counter meds. She's acting fine now, so I think I will send her on to school tomorrow. I got her the cutest little uniforms. They have to wear uniforms during the regular school year. I'll post pics later.
I finally ordered a new bedset that I think will go well with our room color (hunter green) or I suppose that's the color. I like the color, I just wouldn't have chosen it for my bedroom. I'm too lazy to paint it right now. I have other house projects to do. I cleaned the whole house Saturday, and helped Phillip do yard work. It wasn't too bad we waited until about 5:30 to start. I really want to rip those hedges out and put something else, I just don't know what yet. It would have to be something low maintenance because I suck with flowers or anything that requires frequent water. I even killed drought resistant flowers!
That's all I have for now. Peace.

Tax free weekend!
My favorite time of the year! I had planned on having Abby's friend over tomorrow night but, I remembered what this weekend is! I am not taking a 4 and a 5 year old shopping with me. I don't even want to take my 4 year old. I may have to reschedule for her to come Saturday night instead. Abby won't be happy about that. Maybe if it's not hot Saturday I'll make her go to softball with daddy for a few hours. There are quite a few stores I want to go to, Abby is usually worn out after the first one. Last year I took her she had all my Victoria Secret stuff I had bought strewn all over the other stores we went in. Not cool. I have a 40% off coupon for Kohl's which is usually a pretty good bargain. I can go there and buy all 3 of us stuff and get out of there at a little over $300. I want to go to the Linens N things by my work because they're closing the store and everything is 70% off. I also want to go to Bed Bath & Beyond, and Garden Ridge. I don't know if I'll brave the mall this year. I would have to be there right when it opens. Back to school is almost as bad as christmas. Phillip pulled a muscle in his shoulder and has been preventing me from getting uninterrupted sleep the past couple days. I am so glad tomorrow is Friday! That's all I've got here. Happy Shopping!

I'm 27!
I took today off. It was a much needed extra day before heading back to work. We had a good weekend. We took Abby to the waterpark on Saturday, Abby got to swim a good while until some kid crapped in the pool. DISGUSTING! I really don't understand why some parents do not teach their children to get the hell out and go to the bathroom. Anyway, Sunday Phillip and I braved Super H the new Korean mart in Carrollton. I've been a few times but, not on a Sunday. Holy Lord! I won't do that again. We tried to go get massages, that wasn't supposed to be until next weekend but, next weekend is a busy weekend. The place I had originally planned to go to in Dallas off the tollway is $280 for couples massage, but there is another place in Frisco that is $200. The place in Frisco was booked. We'll try to squeeze it in next weekend.
Today I was rather productive. I washed all the sheets, towels, clothes, dried them, AND folded them! That's a rarity. I hate folding clothes. Abby and I went to Target to return some earphones I bought for my shuffle since Phillip bought some different ones, we went to the Sprint store so I could buy a silicone skin for my phone since they've been sold out, then we went to Sally Beauty supply, and tanning. The girls at the tanning place LOVE Abby. They told me today that they see alot of kids and she is by far the most beautiful girl they've seen, and the most well behaved. =) Abby likes going because they dote on her. LOL Phillip surprised me with flowers for my birthday. I told him I didn't want anything for my birthday, especially since next weekend is tax free weekend. Anyway, that's all here. I'm prepared for the rest of the week I suppose.

All better..
I think. My eyes are better, it must have just been part of the virus going around. My hearing has mostly come back but, not completely. I'm legally deaf in my left ear, I'm supposed to wear one of those hook over hearing aids, I refuse. I usually rely on my right ear for hearing but, this last infection may have put it in no better condition than my left. We'll see, cross your fingers that it will come back all the way. Phillip has an allnighter tonight so I think Abby and I will go catch a movie. Everybody have a good weekend!

Pink eye?
I'm pretty sure I have it in both eyes. I already went to the doctor earlier this week and paid freeking $94 since the insurance I have through my work sucks cow ass! I have to meet my $2000 deductible before they will even THINK about covering 80%. I used to be on Phillips insurance but, I hardly ever go to the doctor so it was not worth the ridiculous amount he was paying a month to have me on there. I went earlier this week for my ear infection which is now a little better, and now my eyes are jacked up. They don't really itch but, they are RED I mean the "I've been up all night chugging down Smirnoff" RED. Phillip is sick, Abby has a cough, and I'm just plain falling apart. Is it Friday yet?

Toddler behind the wheel
Whoever said patience is a virtue, never tried to direct an almost 4 year old in an electric car. It was right after Christmas which means there was already heightened irritability that, and our potbelly neighbor is anal about his grass even though it was winter and it was dead. The key here is STAY OUT OF THE NEIGHBORS YARD! =)
