Ok, it has been forever since I posted anything! I did not realize it had been so long. I have been battling the "plague" also known as every daycare illness that came down the pike. My whole family had the flu, then I think they had a special flu mutation just for us, I fought a sinus infection for two months, BJ had hand, foot and mouth disease, and currently both children are home again with coughs and random temperatures. I have been sick more times this winter than the previous five combined! It has become a joke in my family that I live in a plague house and that soon they will have to roll up with bell cart and I will hear "throw out your dead!" Yes, my family has a sick sense of humor!
It has also been a year since the children were burned by a pot of coffee. I continue to be amazed and thankful for the wonderful medical staff at Crozer Chester Burn Unit. Because of them, MM has almost no scar and BJ has very little obvious scarring. MM remembers very clearly what happened and continues to be nervous around hot surfaces plus thinks that every accident someone is involved in is related to hot coffee. BJ is completely fearless and does not seem to remember, but every once in a while he will point at the coffee pot tucked waaaayyyy back and says "coffee hot, no, no!" Works for me. I have no desire to ever visit the Burn Unit again or the hospital if at all possible.
I will be hosting a picture day at my house on April 28th, so I am hopeful that not only will I have the house and yard cleaned up, but I will also has no other illnesses. I know that I had high hopes for what I would have accomplished by now, but I am sad to say that I got nothing done around the house in the last few months. I have been planning on painting and organizing and cleaning, but beyond buying the paint, I have not gotten very far. I am going to blame the plague for my lack of motivation.
One big change for our family is that I just got MM's hair cut. Yes for the very first time. She chose a very short hair cut and I almost died, so we went with a longer version. I must say that she is now full of sass because she looks at least like a seven year old! Just to be clear, her hair was down to her butt and now it is just past her shoulders and layered. I cried the whole time. Some asked if I donated the hair and I would love to say yes, but I can not part with it. It will be in her baby book and when I die if she wants to donate it, she can but it will be over my dead body! Ha ha ha. Hey, if no one else will laugh at my jokes, I will!
My son has been improving his speaking over the past few months, but he still does not have truck down. He does not like me at the computer and tells me, "you get up mommy!" When he wants me to get out of a chair because he wants to sit there, he says "you go away mommy!" But my favorite is when he wants me to pick him up he says "I kill you mommy!" I think it is "I want you to carry me mommy" but it could be, as a friend suggested "I'll kill you if you do not pick me up mommy." My sister and another friend said that I am letting him watch too much Akmed the failed Terrorist from Jeff Dunham's show. I keel you! "Throw out your dead!"
