Maybe It Was A Cold

Maybe it was a cold!  I am starting to believe that Carson is not only teething, but he has a little cold, too! So sorry to all the friends we went around. :/  He's over the worst part of it and has been almost back to normal today! :)

I have it now.  This is stupid, why do I have to get a cold? I can't breathe, especially at night, I have a huge headache and the list goes on.

That's enough nasty business... I went to Olive Garden to eat lunch with my Sister-in-law, Amanda today.  I got that endless soup and salad. I filled up on salad and could only eat half a bowl of minestrone.  The salad alone it worth it!  I kid you not.  It must have msg in it because I'm addicted.

I also stopped by the dollar tree to get some things for Carson's birthday party.  I ran into a problem  while there: I only have had 4 people R.S.V.P. and none of them are children (unless I'm forgetting someone).  I have some pretty neat party favors in mind but I don't plan on over-buying things and going through the hassle of returning them afterwards. No way!

But, get this...they have the COOLEST wrapping paper. Oh, I lerv it! It's that brown paper bag material, and there is a lot if it to boot for $1.  Heck to the yes.  I love wrapping paper, I do.  I thoroughly enjoy picking out the prettiest paper and curling ribbons and bows to match!  If you have ever gotten a wrapped gift from me (in the past few years) you should know!  I have big plans this year with twine and brown paper. Big plans!

Oh, and remember how I said S was really involved with 4th grade? Well, this remains to be true...  She stepped off the bus today and asked me what I thought about her running for class president.  I told her if that is what she wants to do, then, great!  I can't wait to see if this results in anything or not.

4th Grade and Molars

S started 4th grade last week.  I really like her teacher this year.  He's her first man-teacher... I only point that out because male teachers seem to be strict, cut through the crap, but have a huge heart all at once. That's my stereotype anyway.
I think I have the start of a new girl on my hands.  She is so confident in her studies now.  Tonight she took the initiative herself and read an extra 25 minutes, then wrote 4 1/2 pages in her composition book. She wants to do well this year and that's not something you can make a child do.

While she's earning the gold star, Carson is grumpier than an old man. He's cutting his molars, and already has one through, two more spots are swollen.  This grumpier than grump attitude started yesterday and I'm already really really tired because of it. Lol, but this is the life and I'm not going to complain anymore about that!

I don't think I would be so tired, but Tim's caught a cold and he isn't sleeping at night, causing me to not sleep.  Every time he coughs or sniffles, I wake up.  I have restless leg syndrome when I'm pregnant and if I lay too long without sleeping it gets worse.  If I wake up at night, it gets worse than worse and it's just over. There is no sleep for me.

Worded Wednesday

When he realized I was leaving him for a nap.

Refuses to cry for the camera.

Oh, you're taking a picture!

Happy boy!
