thank you

I just wanted to say THANKS to all of you who have called to check on Ashley yesterday and today. She is feeling somewhat better as of right now. NO FEVER. That always makes you feel rotten. She has layed on the couch and played Guitar Hero and Mario Cart this morning. I've been trying to keep my usual cleaning, laundry routine and trying to keep Charlie away from her as much as possible. So thanks again for checking on us we do appreciate it.

Yikes

Well, I decided to go ahead and take Ashley to see her Doctor tonight. I had checked her temp at 5:00 and it was 101, gave her an Advil and had her rest. She fell asleep and when I checked on her at 6:30 she was burning up. Her temp spiked to 102.4. I figured that we should go ahead and get her checked out. And. TA-DA she has the FLU and some sort of throat thing. He said her glands are super large and gave her 3 rx's. Please keep your fingers crossed that she gets better and that Charlie stays well. She can't go back to school until probably Friday. Can you say Make-up work!!Yikes. She has never missed this much school in her whole school career.

Uh Oh

Well, I got the dreaded call from the school nurse today.

"Mrs. Romans, I have Ashley here in the nurses office with 101 temp."

I then get on the phone to TRY to get an appointment with the Doctor. Uh HELLLLO, Apparently Doctors don't see sick people on the same day you get sick. Go figure HUH. They are too busy seeing high blood pressure and high cholesterol! I can say this because I used to work in the same doctor's office that I am referring to. It frustrates me to no end. Sick kids should NOT have to wait to the next day to be seen. Anyway, on the way home we grabbed breakfast and a large diet coke for fuel. We'll manage, we always do!!!!

Like Father... Like Son

I know that this video is dark and grainy, but it was the best I could get without ruining that whole thing and waking him up.

Ashley and I were sitting in the living room, waiting for the ride to school, when I hear this strange sound coming from the baby monitor.

All I can say is ......LIKE FATHER...LIKE SON!

Sumo Girl

This cracks me up. Ashley is going to be in a "TOP SECRET" activity at school next month. This is part of it. I have no idea what they are planning. I just know that I had to order this sumo suit for this. It arrived yesterday from Oriental Trading. They have some neat stuff for parties etc. I was cracking up when she put this on. BTY if you are affiliated with our school, don't say anything about this outfit or program. It is supposed to be some sort of surprise.
