Sickies

We've had the "sickies" at our house.  It started with Parker Reese.  He had a high fever for a week and had to have blood drawn.  He was a champ.  I wrapped him in a blanket and just left out one arm for the nurse.  He cried for a minute but he was so happy to get a Batman sticker when he was done and even told the nurses, "I wub (love) you!"

Then, Preston got a bad case of Pink Eye.  The first medicine didn't work and when we got to the pharmacy for the second try at curing it up, they were out and we had to come back the next day.  On top of that, the medicine he needed for $50 just for a tiny bottle of eye drops.  I don't understand how a tiny bottle of eye drops can cost $50 and we have insurance.  

Preston headed back to school yesterday, but came home with a fever and terrible cough.  So, Jeremiah and I have been alternating days to stay home and get these boys better!  

Preston is planning on spending the weekend with his adopted grandma, Nannie.  He is really looking forward to spending time with her.  They feed the ducks, walk the dogs and hang out together.  

You may wonder why I haven't posted any updated photos.  I need someone to explain to me how to "move" photos on a Mac from iphoto to the desktop.  I'm still learning about Macs.  Sara, help???

I've been "Tagged" by Sara.  Here is it goes - 7 random and/or weird facts about myself. 

1.  I'm not an "animal" person.  I prefer humans.

2. I had really long hair before Preston was born. 

3.  My husband and I are both the "middle" child.  

4.  I wear perfume everyday. 

5.  I love taking afternoon naps. 

6.  My middle name is Michelle - my mom says that she chose my middle name from my cousin Timothy Michael.  Every child in my family has the same first initial ( no joke)  here is the list:  Todd and Tim, Derek and Denise, Travis and Tracy, Jennifer and Jessica, Korey, Kevin and Keith.  Now we are carrying on the tradition with Preston and Parker.  Weird, huh?

7.  I loooooove to cook and find new recipes.  I always wanted to be a chef. It's my dream to open a Bed and Breakfast....someday. 

8.  I was figure skater and speed skater growing up.

9. I was on the radio in college.  I taught for the University of Illinois Cooperative Extension and they asked me to do a special on "Healthy Breakfast Ideas".  

10.  I was going to major in Family and Consumer Science (formerly know as "Home Ec") but it wasn't offered at my college so I got K-9 certification.  I still think that is my true calling.
