Craziness

Well, I've officially had strep 2 times in the last month & Caleb has had 2 ear infections & an ingrown toenail. Yes, an ingrown toenail! He's only 3 months old!!! Poor kid already takes after his dad! And unfortunately, I think Sam is getting strep now too. GRRR...so NOT in my plans!

I did get some new pics of the big 3 month old tonight. Will have to post another time (it's late & I should be in bed!). He is already trying to hold his bottle & can almost roll over! I can't believe how big he's getting. Oh, he's got the bald spot in the back now too. It totally makes him look like a little old man!! He's been quite a trooper. The dr. put him on Keflex 4 (yes FOUR) times a day for 10 days to clear up his ear infection & the infection in his toe. He's done a lot better with it than I expected.

Samantha changes her mind daily about what she wants to be for Halloween. Lucky for me Nash still wants to be a ghost. I'm down with that because that is simple! I'm just hoping he doesn't change his mind the day of Halloween!!

We are mostly surviving. Travis is still working in Montpielier so I'm picking kids up about 5 each night. The end of the first term is next week so we're trying to get all kinds of grades finished up. What a nightmare that's turning out to be! Next term I'm going to be a lot more strict about late work & not accepting it after Fridays!! We run like crazy people around here but so far, so good!

Hope you have a great week!

Oh! My sister tagged me. I'm supposed to post 6 random things about me that you might not already know.
1- I'm 28 years old & still afraid of the dark (don't laugh! I sleep with the closet light on when Trav's out of town!).
2- I'm afraid of deep water I can't see the bottom of (I think it has to do with getting stuck strapped to the knee board when I was 10 & was stuck upside down in the water until dad swam over & flipped me right side up!)
3- I won't let Travis clean fish when we go fishing (he just mutilates them) I do it.
4- I took the class to get my conealed weapons permit this spring & just need to mail in my paper work to get my license.
5- I like to go ice fishing (even my husband won't do this one..he thinks I'm insane).
6- I had a big time crush on one of my best guy friends from 8th grade until after I graduated from high school!!

I tag: Jamie, Tannie, Heather, Angela

The Elk





Travis killed his Elk on Sunday, Sept. 29th. It's an even 6 points on each side. He said it scores 365 & 1/2 (400 is record book big). He has it at the taxidermist now so this spring I'm going to officially have a dead animal on my wall. That's okay though, it's pretty cool. Besides, he can't draw out again for another 10 years. His uncle killed a 4 point on Wednesday night so all the boys were excited the hunt turned out so well.

We managed without Trav being home for 2 weeks but I'll tell you what...I don't know how single parents do it! My house is a disaster & I'm behind with school stuff!! I told Trav he probably couldn't have gone at a worse time. Caleb got shots the day before he left, I had 2 parties on the day he left, I had my monthly jewelry meeting, Sam had dance twice, & I had parent teacher conferences. I was getting over strep & then last night I threw up in the middle of one of my parent teacher conferences!!!! Not one of my finer moments in life for sure!

Anyway, we're doing good! We're almost all healthy here. OH! We have grass!!! I need to take pix now that my camera is back. Again, who knew someone could get so excited about grass!!
