What we found

On the way home from picking Logan up from school I noticed something in the road. After I was past it I realized it was a knife. After Steph got home we headed to go to her dermatologist appointment & I went that way so both of us could look for it (she saw it driving home also). We couldn't find it & decided to look one more time on the way home. We saw it & stopped to get it off the road. Wonder how it got into the middle of a road?

It was negative!

Right before I went to bed Friday night my throat was starting to hurt a little. Nothing major but annoying. I didn't sleep well that night at all & woke up Saturday morning to my throat on FIRE!! I didn't want to go all weekend feeling like that so I decided a trip to the walk in clinic that accepts our insurance was the best decision. They did a strep swab test & let me tell ya I don't like those things at all. They always have to use one of those wooden things to hold your tongue down. Well as they swab it I gag to the point of almost throwing up. It's bad!! The nurse said "Wow, you didn't like that did you?" I wanted to say "What makes you think that?" But I was to busy coughing & gagging still to talk, which is why I think he decided to sass me. I really don't think he was sassing me, but still, sheesh, ya think?

So anyways the swab test came back negative. The doctor said many of them have been so they went ahead & it sent it in for a culture. Also lots of cases of strep in the 6 to 8 range. Since I am at the school & get to touch all the cards it's very possible that could be it.

However I think it's just very bad allergies & was turning into a sinus infection which has been to known to happen to me more than once. My throat felt like drainage however she said it wasn't, but it was very red & inflamed. I take allergy meds & just recently switched from the Walmart generic Clartin D to the Walgreens generic. The doctor gave me a prescription for allergy meds & those pills looks totally different than the last 2 boxes I took. So who knows!! I did decide to fill & take the antibiotics. Either the strep will come back positive or it will turn into a sinus infection (if not already). So I should be covered (hopefully).

Scrapbook viewing

Logan has always loved looking at the completed scrapbook albums. He also loves looking back at his school yearbooks too. One is usually always out open in the living room floor. Since he was in bed when I finished up the album I showed it to him (both kids) real quick this morning before I left for work. Tonight I noticed him looking at it closer & reading all the journaling. Sorry the photo is a tad blurry (iphone & bad lighting in our living room plus I zoomed in on him some).

so many papers...

The day I got home from CKC in Tulsa in the mail waiting on me was my monthly scrapbook kit. I have been waiting for this kit to arrive so I could get it done & decide what beach vacation photos to use on the kits (2 monthly kits were vacation themed). Then take all my beachy scrapbook papers & embellishments & get my layouts planned out. My goal was to get my whole album finished by Friday. A co-worker of mine is moving to California & has been asking to see my vacation photos. I wasn't sure if I could accomplish it or not. Especially since I have apparently have so many pretty papers. Choosing layouts was difficult, but I managed thru all the decisions & actually finished up the whole 23 pages on Wed. night.

CKC~Tulsa

I look forward to this day every year. It's the big scrapbook convention that is a scrapbookers heaven held in Tulsa. Also fun is meeting up in person with some of the scrapbooking ladies I am friends with online. We only get to see each other a couple times (if that) a year so I always look forward to it.

Happy Birthday Daddy!!

Today is my dads birthday, but he'll always be Daddy to me. Happy Birthday Daddy we love you today & forever.

Only 1 more & 5 more

As I was thinking about these photos I snapped this morning. It dawned on me that I only have 1 more First Day of school photo to take of Stephanie & only 5 more of Logan. I can't believe the time has flown by so fast. Every first day of school picture has been taken by the trees in our front yard except for Steph's kindergarten photo.
