Sweet when she wants to be!

Yeap...she is sweet as ice cream when she wants to be.

A pretty good and fun little girl. She does have the attitude of a teenager sometimes but boy does she help me with her brother! She plays with him, stops him from doing things he shouldn't and she takes the majority of the hits from his throwing habits. (bless her heart!) I just love that little face and those big brown eyes!

Yeap...She is sweet!

Driving Miss Crazy

or also titled "Driving ME Crazy". So apparently all the hype about the swine flu being awful is true and false. I mean it is spreading like wildfire here in Georgia and it is hard to watch your kid be sick but the false part is that it didn't knock my kid down for weeks. It is day four and she is a live wire...I MEAN A LIVE WIRE. She thinks her world is ending b/c she is still being quarantined to her bedroom or my bedroom. The funniest thing is I think this stuff is making her a little wacky. If I didn't know any better I would think she has broke in to the liquor cabinet, but since we don't have one of those I am going with this being temporary insanity from the swine flu! Here are a few of the funny things she has said in the past couple of days:
"Be careful with me b/c I'm priceless"
"Who is the queen of this family?" This is so funny to me b/c the queen is me...duh!!! She Knows that!
Every time she coughs she yells out "I'm o.k.!"
"I'm never going to be able to come out of this room"
"I tried to come get you last night when I felt sick but when I opened my eyes, I was still in my bed!"
"A girl with the flu has a boring life!"
The list goes on and on. But on a serious note she seems to be recovering and bouncing back fast. I guess from all the hype I was expecting her to be knocked down by this stuff for at least a week but not her. I have had to practically tie her up in one room to keep her from spreading her germs to her brother....and me (and I guess her daddy too)! She is talking talking talking and driving me crazy crazy crazy! I mean she isn't talking about anything with any importance, just random things so she can hear her raspy sounding voice I guess! I am hoping that she has turned the flu corner and none of the rest of us will get it. Of course if I get it I probably won't be so lucky as to be recovered by day four! Us adults are big babies when it comes to getting sick.....me I wouldn't say I am a baby so much as I can't function well with sickness and must lay down and not move. Heck I would like to do that and not be sick but that would involve me faking a sickness and jinxing myself. I think I am hallucinating...is that a side effect of H1N1?
Oh and to go back to the hype thing...Poor Georgia Bulldawgs, all the build up for the GA season to start and well, let's just not talk about it!

H1N1 Go AWAY!!!

H1N1...we don't really like you and I am asking nicely for you to please leave our house without infecting any other members. You invaded my sweet six year olds body sometime around Wed. and started showing your ugly head with a headache...I mean am I the last person on earth to know that a headache is a major sign of the flu? Then you began to make my child feel cold with chills. Within 12 hours you gave her a fever and she has been down ever since. You have taken out the majority of the students in her class at school and I fear that you are gunning for me! Please set your eyes on me and not my precious little man who wants to touch every possible thing that could be infected. I have sprayed so much Lysol to try to kill you that I fear inhaling that much Lysol may turn out to be the death of me. So to re-cap...your main symptoms are headache, chills and fever. You are very sneaky and got one over on me with the whole headache thing. But never again will I let that happen. My little man will take tamiflu while you continue to knock out my daughter b/c there is not one thing in the whole entire world that can be done to help her! I will continue to rub my hands raw by washing them every 30 seconds b/c apparently that's about all I can do. H1N1, you are not my friend and never will be!!!

What a birthday!!!

We had Teg's 2nd birthday party this past Saturday. It was probably one of the most relaxed party I have ever thrown. We had it at a pavilion by the river. Even during the hot Georgia August it still wasn't all that bad. We had lots of shade and ceiling fans. It was a nice evening for a party. We had a whole meal full of bbq, coleslaw, baked beans, chips and cake. Of course there where lots of pictures taken. Here are just a few.

My new favorite picture of us!

Teg's gift from me, daddy and sissy.

He was fighting me to get down in this picture.

Blog Header

What the heck is the deal. I can never get my blog header the right size no matter how many times I try. But at least this one is better than the last one. And yes...it is 12:19 am and I am sitting up playing with my blog instead of studying for the two final exams I have tomorrow!

Good Night!

It's all about him...

Today my little guy turns two. I still can't believe that my baby boy is getting so big and becoming his own little person. So this is for him.
You drive me wild in more ways than one. You have a determination like no other. While that determination has helped you to overcome a lot....it also is the cause of way to many fits throughout the day. You want what you want when you want it and you only get louder if you don't get it. For this very reason mommy is still holding on to the pacifier b/c you would never survive a trip to the grocery store without screaming and sometimes putting your pacifier in will stop the madness.
You are so routine...just like your dear mommy. WE must have milk at a certain time and juice at a certain time everyday and the milk goes in a different style cup than the juice does. You have to "hold dat", which means hold the top to the cup while I fix it for you...every single time! You love your bed! And so does mommy. You go to bed at 8:15 every night and may wake up around 8:00 or 8:30 but won't get out of your bed so you sit in there and play until around 9:00. Even then you cry when I pull you out of there. You have to have certain toys in your bed before nap and bed time even though you throw them all out before you fall asleep!

You love to be outside. You would walk on your daddy's heels all day outside if you were old enough. EVERY single time we go outside, we have to pull you back in kicking and screaming! EVERY SINGLE TIME!
You are super strong...

And you love your Ry RyWe call you Big Big and you also call yourself Big Big. You call your daddy by his real name...Paul. You have finally came out of your shell and are starting to detach from mommy (sniff sniff) a little more. I don't know how much you weigh right now b/c I am afraid to take you to the pediatricians office b/c I don't want to catch swine flu...and I don't want you to either. Your vocabulary is exploding and you can tell me what you want...even if other people can't understand it. I kind of like having a secret language with you. You love to throw things, just random things, especially at your sister! Poor Rylee!!! But even still, the two of you have a bond that I never would have thought given the age difference.

Most importantly I plan on having a good year. For the first time we hope to have an entire year free of Dr.'s and Therapies and will enjoy watching you be exactly what you are...all BOY!!!

I love you my Big Big!!!

Little of this and a lot of that

I've been doing so much school work that I realized last night me and the kids haven't went out to play in the evenings like usual. It was a good thing it wasn't to hot last night b/c they had lots of energy to burn off. Of course I took pictures....

There was a little of this...

And a whole lot of that...

Now if only I could figure out how to bottle up that energy and sell it or heck...keep it all for myself!!!
