The girls are finally napping so I thought I'd jump on here real quick.

Yesterday was an eventful day! Emme woke with a fever but I wasn't about to cancel our GI appt. with Dr. Cocjin so I packed her up and made her come along. (Sorry, Em!) You read below about the visit and his thoughts. I mentioned he sent her for blood work and a urinalysis but didn't get to tell the gross story with it. I know, you're excited! We get to the lab and the sweet girl was just trying to make it as easy as possible for Ellie. About 5 minutes after inserting the first needle, Ellie's vein burst because of the pressure being built up from using a too small of needle. Needless to say blood starts squirting everywhere (literally) like a horror film. As soon as Emme saw this you can imagine her reaction. She was hysterical. I think she thought someone was killing Ellie! Not to mention she was sick and whiny to begin with, add squirting blood and it doesn't settle well. By this point it was almost 2pm (got there at 10am) and no one had had anything to eat or drink since 7:00! We were all having meltdowns! Oh, and with the urinalysis, they have to put a bag over her "parts" to catch the pee. They didn't stick the bag on right...4 times...so she had 4 times worth of pee all over her. I don't think I need to emphasize how thankful we were to leave there and come home for a nice quiet afternoon of napping.

I finished the night off right: I met a girlfriend for dinner (had an Amaretto Sour for my troubles), we got a great siding and window estimate, and I e-filed our taxes. All in all, I felt semi-successful.

Josh and I are planning on taking the girls to Chicago on April23-28. We're in dire need of some time away and what better place to get that then The Windy City. Plus I'm salivating for an amazing Chicago Dog. Please don't ruin it and remind me of the episode I watched of Dirty Jobs where they made hotdogs. *shivering*

Josh is also going to be teaching for two weeks in April at Centriq Foss (the school he went to). I know he'll do an amazing job. He's naturally talented with teaching abbilities. And the money he gets!, that's always a plus!

I'm going to take a much deserved afternoon nap right now.
