Mimi came over Friday night to visit and spend the night. We had so much fun playing, and she is such a great help to me. She does so much for me, and around the house when she comes over--I owe her big time!! Scotty came home about 8:30 and put Makenzie to bed, and mom and I went to WalMart. I rode on the nana scooter. I was embarrassed at first, but then realized how much easier it was than crutching around. We got there at 9 and didn't leave until 11. I had to buy so much from not being able to grocery shop for the past 2 weeks. It was so nice to get out of the house and shop. I was having with drawls.

Saturday, Laura and Bella came over to cut Mimi's hair. The girls had fun playing. My little stinker kept taking toys from Bella and saying "mine". I'm not real sure where she picked that up from--but I don't like it. Makenzie went home with Mimi to spend the night and I got ready to go to the Just Between Friends half price preview sale. Korie came over and drove us in my car to the sale, and we met up with Shannon there. It was so picked over, but somehow I still managed to buy alot. Korie and I met up with Scotty and Lance at Micocina for dinner and drinks on the way home.
Sunday, Scotty and I got to sleep in to 10--woohoo!! We went and got coffee and breakfast and came home and relaxed for a little while. I had to leave to go to my volunteer shift at Just Between Friends. I sat in a chair at the front of the checkout line and directed people to the next open cashier--for 4 hours. The last hour of my shift I alphabetized thousands(it seemed like it anyways) of envelopes. I guess you get the boring jobs when you can't stand up and walk......oh-well at least they found something for me to do. I picked up Makenzie from Mimi and Papa's house on the way home. Mom said Makenzie seemed a little congested and didn't really want to eat, and sure enough that night she started coughing and had a super runny nose.
Monday, I picked up Makenzie and she was super fussy and had a nasty cough. She didn't really eat a lot of dinner so I gave her some blueberries before bed since she loves those. BAD IDEA After listening to her cough and cough in her bed, I went in her room to put some Vick's on her feet, and could smell the vomit as I rounded the corner in the hall. She had thrown up everywhere (and apparently she doesn't chew up her blueberries....) I stripped her down and put her in the bath. Thankfully Scotty came home and stripped her bed and helped me clean up. She acted like nothing was wrong after that. Talking a mile a minute, running around, pulling out all her toys and playing. I laid her back in bed and she finally went to sleep and I didn't hear her coughing much after that. The blueberries stained all of her bedding, blankets, and bumpers. Discusting!!!
Tuesday, Scotty brought Makenzie into my work to see the doctor for her cough. She said her lungs sounded great, ears were clear, but she had a very red throat. Strep throat, AGAIN. This makes 7 times that she has had strep throat, so looks like she'll be seeing ENT soon. I took her home with me and we laid in bed and had muffins and milk. I was hoping she would fall asleep in my bed and we could have a lazy day--no such luck. She played and seemed to feel ok. I laid her down about 1:00 so I could get ready for a Dr appt that I had. I noticed her on the monitor acting funny in her bed. She looked like she was picking stuff off her and wiping it on the bed. I zoomed in there on my scooter, and sure enough the smell of vomit hit me when I got to the hallway. Poor thing had thrown up again all over herself. She got stripped down and another bath. Scotty came home to watch her while I went to my appt. Of course they were running late--my 3:30 appt didn't start until 4:45 and then when I got in my car to leave I realized I didn't have any cash to get out of the garage(normally you can pay with your credit card---not this one). I called up to the office and asked if I could write them a check for $2's in cash--the lady told me I would have to walk across the street and down 2 lights to the bank and then go somewhere to break the $20 to feed into the machine. I was so frustrated I wanted to cry. I told her I was on crutches and thankfully her office manager came down with $2, and I was able to dig up change (just not quarters like the machine takes) to give her in exchange. I was so embarrassed, frustrated and ready to go home. Scotty went back to work when I got back home, and he had let Makenzie take a nap at 5 freaking o-clock. Are you kidding me?? I went in there to wake her up, or else I would have been up all night from her little cat nap. She hadn't eaten all day, so I gave her a pop sickle-which she loved, and a few crackers. She went down for the night luckily with no problems.
Today, Kenzie and Scotty slept in until almost 10, I was freaking out that I hadn't heard from him. She must have needed some sleep. The babysitter said she seemed fine today and she was happy when she came home. I make Frenches Onion Chicken tonight for dinner and she ate half a chicken breast almost, mashed potatoes, macaroni, and green beans--poor thing was starving. Scotty had a guy come over to look at our house and give us some pointers on getting it ready to sell. We need a bigger house!! I don't know if we are ready right this minute to sell and start looking for a new house, but it is something that we are preparing for.
Makenzie's Easter pictures came in today. I LOVE them!!!
