The pediatrician just called and my daughter had blood in her urine again. When he looked back in her records, he realized there had been another instance of blood in her urine at her old doctor's, so this is time #3 that they've caught it. So now he's thinking something is, in fact, going on with either the kidneys or bladder or something, ( Read more... )

Did this week really just happen? I am so confused. I'm glad it's over.

We got the results of my daughter's peanut RAST test. All you really need to know is this: The doctor said if she was under a level of 5 then she had outgrown the allergy ( Read more... )

The boy is off to hockey practice with my dad, and the girl is outside playing with the neighbor kids. The dog is napping on his recliner. Hopefully, the husband is on the train coming home and I have more than a couple of minutes to try to organize my thoughts ( Read more... )

I feel like I've been running around like some sort of crazed headless chicken for the past few weeks. LJ just told me it's only been a week since I've updated and that's totally wrong, it feels like it's been at least a month when in reality it's been like two weeks. Jesus H ( Read more... )

I haven't had anytime to update because I have been obsessed with Diner Dash. It's a sad and formidable addiction, and I am trying not to play too much, but I have neglected not only posting on my own blog but reading my regularly-read blogs of friends. Sigh. I need to calm down ( Read more... )

We have four new windows and I am a little more excited about them than I should be. Right now, two of the new ones in the living room are open, but supposedly when they are closed, they are going to cut back on the road noise we hear. We live on a kind of busy road, so I am interested in seeing how this works. Our window dude is supposed to ( Read more... )

Jesus H. we've been busy. With last week being the last week of July, there was a lot of stressed out running around, because both my husband and I needed to get our cars inspected and as usual, waited until the last possible second. I bit the bullet and took the minivan on Monday with the kids. We only had two people in front of us and I ( Read more... )

My daughter has swimmer's ear. Her ear was still bothering her this morning, so I took her to sick call at her pediatrician's office and it took the nurse practitioner all of two seconds to diagnose it. She's on prescription ear drops for the next seven days. I already did one round with her today and she took them quite well, thank God. I had ( Read more... )

I got a mini-break from the kids this weekend, which helped with my lack of patience in regards to them recently. My parents took them up to Santa's Village and Clark's Trading Post, which are both located about 2-3 hours away from home. They left Friday morning and didn't get back until Saturday afternoon. My husband took Friday off, got a belt ( Read more... )
