You know, my life is actually much more interesting than I post in here. Well, maybe not more interesting, but definitely more full.
So here are a few things that I have been thinking about commenting on and just haven't gotten around to putting on the screen.
We've been ill lately. Well, really my daughter has been ill lately.
Last month was very hard on the kid. Myr started out not feeling good on the 8th so I kept her home. Now this kid loves school has to be half dead in order to agree not to go. So the next day when she still didn't want to go to school I took her her to the docs and she tested positive for strep. So, we did the med route and she was back in school on the 13th feeling much better. Ten days later she took the last of her meds and was still feeling good. Yay, us.
Until the next when she wakes up saying "My throat hurts." Bummer. I try to tell her that it could just be a little sore from the strep yet and not to worry. But by Tues she's not wanting to go to school again. And she's so cute about it too. When I call to make the Doc appointment she says that she feels like she's lying. Why do you say that? I ask, wondering if she really was just trying to play hooky. Well, she says, it doesn't hurt all the time. Just when I talk, or cough, or swallow" ... So it's back to the Docs, who tests again and, presto, still strep.
Another 10 days of meds. All told, 5.5 missed days of school. This second batch of meds were horse pills that made her stomach upset and she had a really hard time keeping them down. But she made it. Last Thursday, last of the pills and Friday she still felt good.
Until late Friday night when she is violently ill and stays that way until Sunday. She can't keep anything down, can't even smell food and is, as she put it, "Sick and tired of being sick and tired". By Sunday she is better. I'm really, really hoping this is the end of it. She could use a stretch of feeling good.
It's my parents 40th anniversary and they are having a big shindig this Sat. As a present my brother and I are making them a video of pictures set to music. Now my brother had suggested that we take it to a place here in town that puts that sort of thing together but we have the ability to do that sort of thing on our computer, so we've got a deadline fast approaching. It's worth it though, it would cost us 90 cents a pic to have them do it and with no price limit we're up to 20 minutes and over 200 pictures.
First off, I couldn't find half the pictures I wanted. So I had to talk to her and get them. Without telling her why. Second, it would be so cool to be able to talk to her about each of the pictures and find ones that mean things to her and Dad, only I can't. Plus we are doing really cool things with iMovie while making the video and I know that she'd love to talk about it. But I can't. And now, I want to use their CDs to get the songs, but can I tell her why? No. I know she'll like it, but I really want to talk to her about it.
Ok. That may not be a lot. But I've shared enough for one night. And all that shoveling this morning has made me very tired. And Myr has just wondered out of her room saying something about having to turn off all the lights. I don't think she's really awake, but I'll take it as a sign to go to bed.
