Resting

We have managed to survive this week, it was a memorable one to say the least, here is the run down:

Christmas Eve hubby worked, came home in time to change and for us to go to church, get to church, get out of car....freak accident baby's foot got caught on the van door (while on my hip), the stupid thing should have reopened but I guess her toes were too tiny. Blood EVERYWHERE, got back in car, drove to hospital, met nice people, got 6 stiches, got back home around 9:30....

Claire was FANTASTIC and could not have been more patient and fantastic while her mommy and daddy catered to her little sister!

Baby is perfectly great now, for the first 82 minutes she screamed bloody murder, but is doing terrific now. The hospital staff wasn't sure who was hurt more me or her, since I kept crying!

Christmas Day, our house was filled with family, friends, and neighbors, children were everywhere and there was so much food, and laughter, it was absoluetely fantastic! That evening baby started running a fever and since the hospital told us to come immediately with anything over 100 rec*ally, it was at 102.00 we left our guest around 8:00 and went back. By 1:30 her fever had broken so more than likely we had picked something when we had been there the night before.

The 26th, Claires birthday, it was a great day, more food, more fun and more presents. She started vommitting that night....all thru the night.

The 27th, our cat went into heat (the vet I guess missjudged her by a few weeks) and thought it would be fun to spray MY side of the bed. Stupid cat I feed her, I give her a bath, I clean her little box, I pet her, I play with her, and she sprays MY side!

The 28th, try to wash the loads of laundry that people keep depositing into their hampers.

The 29th, my dad and his wife some in, and spend the night here, more food, more Christmas

The 30th they leave.....it was a great visit and we hated to see them go.

The 31st the girls and I are leaving here after I hit "publish" to remove the stiches from babies foot.

Our neighbors are holding our children hostage tonight, they refuse to not let us go out, hubs has tomorrow off and since he has been working 80+ a week, they feel we need "couple" time. We have no stinking clue what we are going to do, but we were told we had to leave the girls behind, and not come back for at least a few hours. We are excited and very grateful to them for watching the girls.

I may/not post tomorrow about our date, but after that I plan to take a few days and regroup, clean the house, take down "Christmas" and finish playing catch up with all the laundry.

I hope everyone has a very Happy New Year!

See you in '08!
