The past couple of weeks, things have been a major roller coaster. Ups, downs, all the way arounds, and loopy loops included. Olivia, our 7 month old daughter, has decided to become allergic to vegetables. I have my sneaky suspicions that this is her sister, Micaela's, fault. I bet she tricked Olivia in to being allergic to keep her from having to eat them. Let me tell you something right now little sister, I will figure it out, and you will be eating vegetables young lady! (maybe...)
We go to the allergist next week and their going to do a "scratch test" on her back. Which, after researching the procedure, I find, that isn't even what they are going to do. Who even considers scratching an infants back!!! RUDE! So it's called a scratch test, but in all reality it's like acupuncture. OK, still rude, but better on mommy that they aren't going to be pulling out the scalpels and pinning my child to a bed to scratch her back! I'd have to pinch someones face off for something like that.. Just fair warning.
(Micaela, give up! She will eat her veggies. She will be a veggie eater, and you can't continue this fa sad. I'll get you my pretty, and your little dumb dog too!)
So, with that, Micaela made the JV Cheer leading squad for High School. She tried out hard, she trained herself, and she succeeded. Good for her. Good for me, I get to get two part time bills and still have to lose a couple inches on the arms and legs. (THIS IS EXPENSIVE) Who'd of thunk it!? You cheer, you wear barely any clothes, borrowed clothes at that, and yet I still pay $1000??? Humph, someones got a fat wallet... because it ate mine! In reality, I'm happy for her. Good job Micaela... Yay! (... as I sit back and realize she's old enough to get a paper route, old enough to mow lawns, old enough to join the circus... why isn't she making this money!!!???)
We went home to Kansas for one of my Mother In Law's vow renewal this past weekend. Had so much fun. Very pretty ceremony, and she looked just lovely. How fun to be married for that many years, and still appreciate the little things.
On a sad note, my little niece, Dani, is in the hospital. Been there for a while. She's fighting off some evil bug, but we haven't quite pin pointed that yet. I'm sure the Dr's are working diligently behind the scenes to figure it out, but it sure would be nice to get some results. She can't drop below 90 on her oxygen. SO they have oxygen on her because she kept dropping, however, when they take the oxygen off she drops down to 87-89. There's been talk of RSV and "Woopy"cough, but no solid answers as of yet. I really pray she gets out soon. My sister, Nana, is having a rough time with this. She has three other young children that would love to have her attention too. Hard to do when she needs to be at the hospital for baby number 4. I went and saw her while I was home, and I tell you what, that little baby, those eyes. . . She was begging aunt Jackie to take her home to Missouri so she can get away from that ugly hospital bed, and mean old nurses. She was, I heard her, but I didn't want to say anything. She is only 8 months old ya know :) She's only smart around me. She doesn't want everyone else in the family to know she's smarter than them. She just wanted some mommy and baby time :) Honestly, my fingers are crossed and my heart is begging her to get better ASAP so her mommy can get her family back together. "I'm praying for you Dani!"
So, I realized that my sanity has left the building. It grabbed my Girl Scout cookies and flew right out the freakin window without even asking permission. Eventually I'll catch that little jerk. I'll get my cookies back!
