Sorry it's been a while since I've updated! But if you know my life at all, you know how crazy it gets around Christmas. I worked 48 hours last week because of Black Friday, Chloe was begining to think I was never going to have a day off!
Thanksgiving was awesome, we went to mom and dad's house and stuffed ourselves full. Jerry got to go hunting with Dad. Kids got to hang out with Grandma, while Joanna and I hung out at Walmart! LOL. We didn't get to stay too late because I had to be at work the next morning before any person should even be thinking about getting up! But it was fun and glad it's over with. . . Now I just have to get Christmas over with!
About a week ago, Jacob was sick. He was throwing up one day, diareha the next, and then just a running nose. Then last Wednesday, Chloe came down with a horrid cough. And by Friday I there wasn't a change in the coughing. . . 12 hour Delsym was only lasting 5 hours. So Saturday when she woke up with her eyes crusted shut (a sure sign of pink eye), I took her to Walgreens Take Care Clinic (which I highly recommend!!) because I couldn't get the cough to stop and Chloe was getting upset that she was coughing so much! There were 4 people in front of us, and we only waited about 20 minutes before she was seen by the nurse practioner. Doctor looked her over and asked a lot of questions and said that I was treating the wrong thing. . . the problem wasn't the cough, it was the sinus infection and ear infection that was causing drainage to the back of her throat which was causing the cough! And on top of that she definately had conjuctivitis. So after leaving there (which no co-pay! They billed my insurance) we headed to Walmart to fill her two prescriptions because they were $4.00 there. (So I grand total of $8!!!! That's it, that's all I paid!) While we waited for them to fill the medicines, I took Chloe to see Santa. She was so excited, we are going to have to take Jacob next weekend. Back on the subject - Chloe is currently taking Amoxicillan twice a day, Eye drops in her eyes four times a day, and Delsym Cough Supressent twice a day. . . AND let me tell you she is a totally different kid, she definately feels better. We've been given the green light to let her return to school tomorrow.
Yesturday, the kids and I decorated the house for Christmas. We put up the tree, hung the lights, and hung the stockings. Glad that big chore is over with. . . Now if only I could keep Jacob and the kitten away from the Christmas tree!!

Happy Halloween!!
We hope everyone had a marvelous Halloween! I know we did, and boy was it a busy one! Amazingly, Saturday morning Chloe and Jacpb let me and Daddy sleep in! It's been a LONG time since they let us do that, which was really nice. I suppose it was abour 9:30 when I got up and fed the kids breakfast, followed by baths for both!
Jerry got up a little later, and he took over kid duty while I showered and got ready for the day. After all of us had breakfast and baths, we headed out to Walmart to get wrapping paper to wrap a wedding present in and a money order for our house payment. After Walmart we ran the house payment to Pleasant Hill and hung out with the McCrea's for a little while before heading back home.
At home, I scrabbled to get all the costumes together and scarfs and mittens for the kids, along with Wedding presents, camera and quite kid things to keep them occupied during the wedding ceremony. We locked the dogs inside the bathroom and headed out for the evening. We aren't sure how many trick-or-treaters Freeman has because we haven't stuck around here on Halloween, so we lock the dogs in the house to keep them from barking at everyone outside.
Mandy and Forrest's wedding was really nice, I enjoyed being there except the ceremony was 40 minutes late and Jacob got a little rowdy and Jerry had to take him outside. Poor Jerry, he wasn't in a good mood since he had to wait outside for us. But once we left to catch up with Dlexa he was fine. Dlexa and Ashlynne went with us trick-or-treating to a few houses in Raymore. . . just drove by a few of the people I work with because they wanted to see the kids.
We finally left Raymore around 7 and headed to Harrisonville to catch up with Jerry's sister's family. We trick-or-treated with them last year and the kids had a lot of fun together. After about another hour of trick-or-treating, we all went to dinner together at Applebee's. Dinner was fun! There were 4 adults and 5 kids. . . we all had a terrific time and the kids ate all their food. Dinner was probably my favorite part of the night because it was a ton of fun just sitting around talking and laughing. We didn't get home that night until after 10:30! It was a good thing that Day Light Savings ended and I could set the clocks back an hour before I went to bed because I needed the extra hour after the crazy day!
Today it was back to normal for everyone, I had to work this morning and Jerry had to work this evening. I'm ready for Monday though. . . Chloe needs to get back on her school schedule because she's driving me crazy!! :o) Got love a 4 year old!
Well I better get off of here and get Chloe is bed and the house cleaned up. . . Oh and tonight is trash night. . . :o( Don't forget to check out the pictures I posted on the other site!! Leave comments and tell us what you think!
