Weekend!

Friday night I received permission to buy pumpkins! I have this thing about decorating for the holidays and I sometimes start too early. Heath has put restrictions on when I can start decorating for holidays. He thinks some holidays are overlooked because of the bigger one that follows (Christmas). Anyways, I had to wait until October to buy pumpkins so Friday night we went and got some pumpkins!

Saturday Heath and Mark had to be at the Guard Unit so Tracy came to help me with insurance while the kids played. We ordered pizza for lunch and chit-chatted. Oh and she helped with my blog background. Now I need another class on how to get the thing on here. That night my friend Shawna and her husband came to Madison and we met at the Moonlight for supper. A good time was had by all!!!!

Then came Sunday... For some reason I haven't been able to sleep. I'm not sure why. I got up at six and went to the store to get a Sunday paper. I knew there was going to be an article about Heath's deployment in there, but had no idea it was front page! YIKES! It was a well written article. Anyways, Braelyn work up crying at 8. She never wakes up crying in the morning. I changed her and she continued to cry. I thought maybe she was hungry. She ate a muffin and had some milk and continued to be crabby. This behavior is unlike her. I decided to give her a bath thinking that would help. After I got her out of the tub she threw up... a lot! Whatever. Not a big deal. Got her ready for the day. But this whole time she cried. I began doing a process of elimination: teeth, ear, tummy ache... Gave her some teething tablets that numb the pain... no sign of relief... awhile later.... ear drops.... no relief... motrin.... um still nothing. Have I mentioned this whole time she is crying? Not like a feel sorry for me cry... a cry of pain. I had no idea. At 10:45 I decided to take her to the ER to see if it truly was an ear ache or what the heck was going on. Um... as I was signing papers at the front desk... she lost her cookies... AGAIN... ALL OVER herself, myself, desk, and floor. Not cool. Long story short... she had some sort of bug. And the rest of the day she was fine. She took a 4 hr nap and played. And by the way, it was my birthday... nice, right? Oh well, could have been worse!
