Randomness

We finally have a tomato growing! We have had loads of flowers but I noticed the first tomato a couple days ago. Peas are bearing again. No bell peppers yet although lots of flowers. Used our first onion! I am ashamed of how little time I have spent in the garden, but with Kyla's and Cora's activities and sickness and petsitting I have not had much time.

Today Wes is sick(update: he has strep-gave him penicillin injection). He has had a cold but this morning he is running a fever and vomitting. I am taking him to the ped later. Kyla had an appt to get vaxes this morning for her trip to Zambia but they were out of some that she needed so we are going to try and go to a pharmacy here that does travel vaxes.

Wes has decided to be Wes today instead of superman so he has clothes on! LOL For some reason when he is superman or spiderman he must be naked (except for his cape when he's superman).

Sara is walking! She is still quite wobbly, but so cute! She does not say any words, except "Uh-oh" with any regularity. She has said "Mama", "Wesley", and "Emma". Wesley is still her favorite person. She loves the gun sounds app on Daddy's iPhone. We've not been doing so well with going potty though. With everything that has been going on I kept forgetting to take her and now she is refusing to go most of the time. That is a little disappointing.

I am going to be the new coordinator for the Campaign for Liberty Meetup in our town. That is exciting! The young man who was doing it is going off to college.

I am still reading "Thy Kingdom Come" and "Democracy in America". Enjoying both but not getting very far with them very fast. I can't read them late at night because I am too sleepy to digest what I read.

Not too much else going on, just livin'.

Fuzz

Our beloved doggie was killed today by a car. She was such a good dog(except for her habit of running off every chance she got), she will be missed. It was her self appointed job to watch over the sick in our household. I don't know how I'll know if the kids are faking anymore. My kids are all so sad. Ellis, poor guy, saw the whole thing. Cora is taking it pretty hard. Even Kyla showed proof of a compassionate heart and cried (in the bathroom). We are all going to miss her very much!

Sara's MRI

I hope I NEVER have to have another baby sedated or have an IV! What an horrible ordeal!

She screamed so that her eyes are bloodshot, poor baby. It took five tries before they got the IV in. So Sara has a bruise on each hand and foot. I still feel on the verge of tears three hours after the MRI was over. Some of that could be due to lack of sleep. I've been up since 3am with Sara. I drove her around for two hours to keep her asleep. Poor thing was so hungry!

I am thankful for modern medicine, but I hope I don't have to make use of this ever again!

UPDATE:
Ped's office called and everything looks normal! YEAH!

To all IDIOTS with guns...

Just FYI, bullets do not vaporize when you shoot them in the air. They do not get stuck in the atmosphere either. The bullet you shoot comes down somewhere. Use your brain. Do not discharge your firearm in a crowded area, like at a Fourth of July celebration.

The sister-in-law of a friend was hit by one of these stray bullets on the 4th in OKC. Thankfully she was not seriously injured. Makes me so mad when stupid people do stupid things!!
