I can’t believe it’s been over 2 weeks since I’ve blogged! Some of the things that have happened:
* Melissa had PLEURISY and after 1 ER visit, 1 dr visit, 2 xrays, 3 meds and 1 week, she was feeling better.
* Calen had a cold and a clinic visit. Clinic visit went well, doesn’t go again until April! The colds another story! He complains more about a cold, then he did about having cancer! Not including steroids week!
* Abigail learned NOT to open a parmesan cheese can with her teeth. One tooth fell out! Boy, was she surprised! LOL
* Zachary said pass the cheese, I want a dollar, too! ROFLOL Dad pays a dollar for each tooth that falls out. The kids skip the tooth fairy and go straight to Dad. Guess a dollar helps sooth the trauma of losing a tooth, and blood gushing from your mouth.
* Tax refund came in!
* Went shopping and spent tax refund! Ok, Ok, I did the adult thing and paid some bills first! lol
* D put up 2 BIG rolls of fence for goat pasture. Can you say “expensive”?
* We got 2 more baby goats. We now have 5 goats.
* The 2 new females are named “Frannie” after the goat in the movie Racing Stripes, and “Deb” from Napoleon Dynamite.
* The vet came out and de-horned the 4 baby goats. We all got a good laugh out of the sedated goats just falling over when the meds kicked in.
* Melissa had her 17th birthday! A Napoleon Dynamite party, of course! lol MAYBE she’ll blog the details.
* Drove Kenn around some. He’s looking for a job, had 1 interview but no call yet. Factory job, guess they won’t call until they have enough people.
*Drove my mother to the drs. Dr said she was doing ok, but to slow down.
* Met up with Geannie. Thanks for the goodies, G~!
* Went to an old fashioned soda fountain. We had ice cream cones (3 kids) and rootbeer floats. YUMMY! We discussed the time period, looked at old pics they had hanging up, looked at the old fountain, counter and stools, and cash register they had. Listened to stories from Granny about her days visiting soda fountains, and listened to Peggy Sue by Buddy Holly on the Juke Box. Was a great little field trip!
* Went shopping at Lowes and got 2 ceiling light fixtures for kitchen and master bedroom. And a lamp for the piano. D put them up and they look GREAT! Pushed the cart around with a 50lb cement bag and now I’m sore!!!
* Discovered that the baby goats can get out of the new $500 fence! GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!
* Worked in my bedroom and cleared out a LOT of junk! Whenever we don’t know where to put something, or want to put something out of the reach of the kids, it goes in our room. sigh Trying to put a stop to that!
* Sewed a new shower curtain for my bathroom.
* Trying to make a decision about the curtain in my bathroom.
* Have fabric hanging on the road with the current curtain. Hope I decided quickly!
* Caught up on a LOT of filing. I’m attempting to tame the paper tiger! I’ll let you know who wins!
* Been to piano twice. Grannie came and “babysat” Mel the week she was sick. The little kids that it was so funny that their babysitter needed a babysitter!
I think that just about brings you up to date! Now I have to go out and feed my goats!
