MOTRIN MISHAP!

Kazzlyn is only 3 1/2, but she has had more adventures in her life than ALL OF MY OTHER children put together.....AND I AM NOT JOKING! Last night we came home from Barros pizza with my fam and brother and his wife and Tman was running a fever (lovely ear infections); and so i gave him his dose of motrin....the phone rings....its my mom needing the bag of trinkets she left on the couch....i put the cap back on the medicine (or so i thought) and gave my mom her bag. Then i went back to taking care of the Tman... you know cuddling the sick one until his fever went down. After I put him to bed 45 minutes later, i also put my girls down. Then I headed off to the kitchen to try and pick up from our current remodel (that is a whole nother entry). when i went to reach for the newly bottle of Motrin i had just opened to give Tman ....I couldn't find it......ALL i COULD FIND was an empty one. OH NO! WHO DRANK THE MOTRIN? i knew who it was immediatley! it was like her guardian angels, which i believe she has an entire slew of them, were saying "Kazzlyn, go check Kazzlyn" of course i ran into her room and tried to wake her up and Stockton and i both were trying to shake her awake. i asked her if she drank the bottle (4 oz) and she says, "i don't wanna talk about it" Stockton says, "smell her face mom" so i smelled her face and sure enough she had "berry motrin" all over it. i'm sure it was even more yummy by the bottle! I was feeling pretty good about NOT having to call poison control in a while...alas....another call! i am SO GLAD its never the same person! whew! the poison control lady first says, " ok mom, calm down motrin is NOT a big deal" that is all i needed to hear....whew! IT TURNS OUT, THAT ACCORDING TO HER WEIGHT AND AGE, SHE WOULD HAVE TO TAKE AT LEAST 3-4 BOTTLES OF MOTRIN TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL! THIS ENTRY is TO INFORM ANY WHO HAVE THIS SITUATION: IF ITS A BOTTLE OF TYLENOL, YOU GO TO THE HOSPITAL!!!!! YET ANOTHER BIG WHEW! I got to see my reaction all over again when Tim walked in from his latest work road trip to Vegas and i told him she had drank a bottle of children's motrin: tim with eyes wide and ready to take to the hospital says: "the WHOLE BOTTLE?" after reassuring him like the poison control official reassured me, we both LAUGHED. THERE IS surely NEVER A DULL MOMENT WITH HER AROUND!

"Sleepless in Seattle"

Tim and I had a fabulous trip to Seattle, WA over the weekend. We went with Dave and Shelle and we have made this an annual trip. The reason we go is for Tim and Dave to get a sun devil road trip in and we tag along for the ride and have a great time....NOT at the game. They always wonder what "we will ever do for four hours?" etc. Well, we have lots of fun seeing the sights, shopping the stores and finding great bargains and most of all LAUGHING....ALOT! Seattle was so nice and rainy, but not too much rain. We stayed in a hotel right on the water...called the "edgewater hotel" there is a reason for that, and we didn't know it until we saw our hotel from a distance, at a sideview.....its on stilts or wooden water legs or whatever they are called. Not sure how secure that is, but all I know is Shelle replied after seeing it..."I really DID NOT need to see that!" being the "lover of water she is" we quickly looked away and pretended to not see it, AND THEN LAUGHED SOME MORE! Pikes market is always awesome, especially if someone orders fish! Its just a great get-a-way! Now we are back and in the throws of a remodel because of a slab leak......maybe I should have stayed in Seattle and Slept....oh well!!!! pictures are sure to come!

this really was a fun test

halloween slide show

Halloween should ALWAYS be on a Friday!

As i sat on our trampoline recovering from a vicious family water fight started by our wonderful 3 year old. i was certainly glad that Halloween was on a Friday and we had no HUGE things to gear up for the next day. I declared right then and there that "Halloween should always be on a Friday...why isn't it anyway??" we began the day with "orange pancakes and green eggs served in the Frankenstien head one of my lets play music students gave me. Our kids thought that was so funny to have "green eggs...especially since they really did look like brains. heehee! then it was off to School and Fall parties. McKelle had a "mahvelous time" in her kindergarten class. FYI: half day students should always have donuts and breakfast burritos! hellooooo, its 8:30 in the morning! then Stockton and Slaton had their parties and off to home early they came. We ended up on the splash pad, (cause it was so blazin hot this year). Amazingly enough, everyone thought the spontaneous water fight was the best part of our Halloween....huh! Off to our church's neighborhood block party. SO FUN! HATS OFF to the activities committee for puttin on such a great activity and also for dressing up....WAY TO GO!!!! then, it was off to trick or treat. I took Kazzy and Tillman....whoo hoo we went a hole 3 houses. Incidently, thats my kind of trick or treatin'. McKelle went with Jessica and Sadie and Stockton hung out with his friends. Slaton went with Josh and they ALL were completely WIPED OUT when it was bed time. I couldn't believe how WIPED OUT i was BEFORE BEDTIME. i kept asking what time it was and Tim would say "its only 7:30!" sheesh! it felt like 10:30 at 7:30. At 8:30 I WAS A VEGETABLE. But it was SO FUN!

its finally here

election day is FINALLY HERE! whew! I cannot believe how much life this has literally sucked out of me! Not that i am going to persuade any undecideds, BUT i am a wee bit concerned that the definition of "middle class" is getting lower and lower on the earning scale. we have heard 300, 000; 250,000 in each of the 3 debates (4 inlcuding the vp debate) and now apparently in Senator Obama's election infomercial he stated 200,000. then vp hopeful, Joe Biden; decided that actually 150,000 is even more "patriotic" hmmmmm....i'm smellin a rat! any takers on how low they think it REALLY WILL BE IF, HEAVEN FORBID, he is elected??? my guess is 75-100k anyone making under that will get the tax cut...or whatever. that might be too high at the rate of speed it has declined over the last two weeks. just curious to see how low he will go. what do you all think? happy voting!
