After several hours of prayer and contemplation, we decided Promiseland was where we wanted Monkey to be in the fall. We felt the curriculum was nice at The Academy, but we tried to keep in perspective that she’s only three. The school part isn’t the most important aspect of her education right now, […]
As I had mentioned before, I have been uneasy about the whole preschool thing… which is starting very soon. But, after a lot of prayer and thought, it is starting to occur to me that it could be more than just being sad about Monkey getting so big. Rather, deep down I could […]
Everyone is finally on the mend, and to celebrate we went to Chuck E. Cheese on Saturday. We had a million things to do such as get the weeds caught up before we get a fine from the HOA, finish the slide show for a friends wedding, and back to school shop, but nonetheless we […]
Just when Monkey started eating and drinking regularly, Daddy started going down the same path. He has been very sick since last Saturday, and as of yesterday was put on a prescription that cost $25 per pill after insurance. The good news is, the pharmacist said this medication should pretty much kill everything in its […]
Last night Daddy ran and picked up a few new movies for Monkey and a chocolate cake… mostly for Mommy. I had given Monkey a bath and having the boogers washed out of her hair seemed to lift her spirit. She didn’t play for long in the tub, like she normally does, but she wasn’t […]
When you have a sick kid, if there’s anything I’ve learned, it’s that if mom feels something isn’t right… it’s not.
I called into the doctor again today, because it’s been six days since Monkey first developed her fever, and she keeps getting worse instead of better. She woke up today and her eyes were still […]
Just a quick post before I go crawl into bed next to Monkey for a long, and hopefully uneventful night
We are currently in day four of the hostage situation. Monkey has consistently had 102 degree fever since Saturday, with the ever-loving 104 degree spike at 3am. After a drive to the emergency room, only to […]
Yesterday, Monkey started her new swim lesson at the Castle Rock Recreation Center. She has loved the lessons, but I was thinking this might be her last one there, as the group lessons can be short and I think she would thrive with a little more one-on-one learning.
Monkey struggled a little in her lesson yesterday, […]
The lists have begun. I have things to finish in Monkeys room before I allow myself to make purchases for Caterpillar. BUT, that hasn’t stopped me from figuring out exactly what I want so when the time comes all I need is my car keys, my list and my wallet.
As I am pondering […]
We had our big ultrasound yesterday and as it turns out, as always, God is challenging me… with a boy. I am so nervous because I still don’t have Monkey figured out, and we are both made of sugar and spice. I am praying the addition of snails and tails does not make for […]
