Just Randomness

Nothing major to report. Our kids came home last Wednesday night from their trip down south. Cohen got sick AGAIN!!! He had a nasty cold, croup thing going on, we had to take him into the hospital at 3 in the morning when they got home cause he was having trouble breathing. They gave him a nebulizer( mask he has to breath in which puffs out steroid fumes) , suppose to open up his airway. HE HATED IT AND SCREAMED THE ENTIRE TIME. Then I took him back the next night as he was puking, high fever and all that stuff, thought he had another ear infection and he did but not bad enough to medicate. HE is fine now so we will just hope he stays healthy for a while this time!! I chopped almost all my hair off, super short, , too short to make a pony tail short. With my curl, I just have to put a little gel in , scrunch it and go, it is quite easy and I have gotten lots of compliments so that makes me feel better about my decision. I learned a lesson that day though, always ask how much it will all cost before you start, I didn't and learned the hard way. My highlight were $140, my cut was $70, I got some products and after tip, we were looking at a whopping $297. I had to put on my poker face as I paid and then spent the rest of the day justifying to myself how I could have spent that much. Here were some of my justifications!! 1. I worked last week 2. We had just got the $200 from the fed govt for the Universal Day Care subsidy 3. We had just sold our house 4. I hadn't had a cut in 1 year so I would have spent around this much if I had it cut every couple months like most do and on and on.... It is amazing how fast I came up with all these rationals... Anyway, so kids are home now. We have had to do some deprogramming with Maci, she is loved and adored here as well but she has been testing our authority a bit and we have had to get her back into her own routine. She is coming along though. Ryan was nominated to for Valedictorian of his Law Class, we will find out in a few day is he is.He has worked so hard in law school and really deserves it. Ryan is off to Spokane/Couer d'Laine for a conference with one of his profs, he wrote a big paper for it on the Mad Cow crisis_ it is a legal/international trade) conference full of lawyers/economists and his and his prof will be co presenting his paper. The law school is funding the whole trip too!!! So I will be alone with the kiddies from this Thursday till Sunday. YIKES!!!!! Anyways, I need to go work out this morning before we do the preschool thing so I am gonna take off........ meg
