What a Day...
In case you were wondering, the turkey was delicious. :) The only thing was...it was so small... after it baked.. it shrank even more... the poor thing, I felt so guilty.. wanting to eat it.. while it was hunkered up there on the platter looking lost and forlorn.. it looked more like a Cornish Game Turkey...or an Ethiopian refugee bird. I've seen bigger chicken breasts!
I called Bonnie and told her to come over.. didn't say why.. just that I wanted to see her.. she came and had a nice surprise Turkey dinner. That was nice. She and Kelly ate and then we settled back, looked at the mess and I commented...
The dishwasher's broken..
Oh that sucks for ya mom.
Yes.. it does.. I'll have to handwash these.
I gotta go.
And she went. But I love her. Sincerely!
I have a few photos.. the first 3 are from Mom. The first two I couldn't believe my eyes.. it's Joel sitting quietly, looking through a book. If he ever sat quietly here doing anything, I'd be compelled to take his temperature!
Aren't those sweet... He's getting so big!
I got my gas bill today. $325.00. After I woke from my faint I just stared at it awhile, I'm thinking it's a typo. Isn't it? If not, we must be getting shy on Natural Gas. They charged 15 bucks for something to do with research. I sure hope it helps them answer ever what it is they're questioning. Research is expensive. I understand.. it's February.. soon we won't be using heat anymore and they're gonna have to survive the summer months without their gas payments, and so they're getting it now in one fell swoop. Egads!
This next picture is Papaw.. he looks like he's sitting there waiting for someone doesn't he? I got one similar to this of Mikyla looking out of the door window when she was a baby.. she looked that same way.. waiting.. just waiting for someone who isn't ever coming. He's a darling.
You know.. the girls didn't go to school today.. so we took them to the doctor. I'm sure, just sure something is wrong with Mallory. A temperature doesn't just go up on a child then down and up, then down, unless there's an infection does it? Her's has been doing that and she's all headachy.. she looks bad in the eyes to me.. while Mikyla on the other hand.. seems like she's just fine. She was complaining with a tummy ache, but even that went away once she knew she didn't have to go to school.. yet.. after the tests docs do.. the throat swab for strep.. the nose swab for flu, listening to heart and lungs.. looking in their ears.. the doc said that Mallory is just fine.. not a thing wrong with her at all.. but that Mikyla has a nasty ear infection. Go figure.
Isn't that just the cutest little face?
Beautiful! She's looking a little pale. We really need to get outside now. Enough of the cold weather.. we wanna swim!
She's the happiest little girl.. except for when she's not getting her way...
Maegan is doing just fine. She has a runny nose again, but that goes with teething. She went full throttle all day today.
Oh! Speaking of pain... Mallory left her belt on the floor.. I didn't see it and I stepped on that little knobby part that sticks up from the metal belt buckle and WOWZA, let me let you folks who like to cut yourselves so you can feel something... toss a belt on the floor and walk on that sucker with the heel of your foot. I betcha feel that! Yeouch!
Thanks Jana, that vanity was a trip. I swear to you.. Dippy had some pipes duct taped.. I had to stop him. Then he wanted to use Velcro. Honest to God Velcro. *laughs* That's something I never, EVER want to attempt to do again.
I worry that the Velcro will come loose when we're least expecting it!
You be safe this weekend.. have fun, and HURRY BACK! The world's tilted when you're away!
Velcro.
G'nite, World!
