What A Day!

It has been a crazy few hours! Last night I got home and the construction crew was still at the house. The electrician had been in so my soon to be new kitchen had a ton of brand new outlets! In my old kitchen, there was one place to plug in appliances, suffice my excitement on each of the new outlets. That morning we asked our construction guy if the electrician could put in two recessed lights above our "Bamboo" Peter Lik picture in the living room that hangs above the fire place. When I opened my front door last night there was my "Bamboo" picture all lit up and pretty. That moment of awe lasted only a few minutes because I went on to serve Baby Girl dinner which she threw at me and then I discovered that the heat wasn't working. When hubby called to see what the crew had done it was too late for anything to be fixed so we had to tough it out. I didn't mind for me but I was worried about my daughter who is fighting off an upper respiratory infection so the last thing I wanted was for her to be cold. Of course, my hubby, the hero, went to Target and purchased a space heater so she wouldn't be cold. I slept in her room and was warm and toasty but I am not sure you could say I really slept because I heard every movement that she made and thus was worried all night. The moment I walked outside her room in the morning I was glad I choose to sleep in there because the place was freezing! I was probably complaining too much because hubby suggested that I get out of the house early and get to work where it was warm. I jumped in the shower but that was a mistake because there was no warm water!!! I didn't think the water was affected because warm water was coming out of the faucet but that must have been the last few drops because the shower was like ice. Suffice to say I didn't stay under the water for very long. At least it jolted me awake. I thought my drama of the evening was over but when I got to daycare Baby Girl split her lip open. She was playing with another kid while I prepared her medication and she bumped her head against the bookcase. She must have hit her jaw which rubbed her tooth aainst her lip thus causing an outpour of blood. I really wanted to cry seeing her cry but had to stay calm. It took one of the teachers 10 minutes to get the bleeding to stop. Of course right when the studio nurse and crew got there. Apparently, any injury in the face bleeds a lot but the nurse reassured me she would be already albeit a puffy lip. She clung to me for 15 minutes and then pushed away and got on to playing. I left her with worry but what else could I do? I went to work and then I got a call from Moses' daycare and the groomer giving him a bath noticed his eyes were dilated to different sizes. So that concerned me so I called hubby who made an appointment with the vet tomorrow morning. Man its only mid-day. I hope this afternoon is calm....I hope i just didn't jinx myself!

Random Thoughts as the Weekend Closes

Today I got a friend request from my mother-in-law. Will she embrace the FaceBook? We wait and see. Technology is cool...I got to speak to my friend in Hong Kong today. The BlindSide is a really heartwarming and good movie. I didn't know what to expect. I saw Sandra in blond hair and I thought cheesy. Now I can't decide whether I want her or Meryl to win the Oscar. Cats are really nice creatures. I haven't really had much exposure to one before. I especially like the fact that you can hold them like babies. I wonder if I stole Mr. Chuckles if anyone would notice? hum. Bartenders blowing fire makes for an interesting drink at the bar. Plantains are better when they come with your meal and not as an appetizer. I met a man who wanted to see Leap Year. Krueger continues to take jobs that suck ass and take up her precious time. Sorry CougarTown screwed ur day up Krugs. We missed u at the movies today. Ever since I got Mo I have meet the most interesting people ...

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

Time Is Flying

Man, back in September and October, I thought time was going by so slowly but now that we are in November and half way through it, it seems like time is flying once again. Maybe that has a little bit to do with me being a lady of leisure these days. My doctor put me on bedrest for the remainder of my pregnancy. I went into his office all stressed out over the situation at work in early November and he said "this Friday, November 4th, will be your last day." I was like "Excuse me?" Doc put me on disability because stress is bad for the gestational diabetes I already have and for the apparent high blood pressure reading I had that day and some of my tests indicated I was at risk for pre-eclampsia. My new job, is to go to the hospital for neonatal stress tests, twice a week, on Monday's and Thursday's with a weekly OBGYN appointment on Thursday's after my hospital appointment. Throw in some eye doctor appointments with an eye specialist (apparen...
