Genevieve's 1st day of Preschool
The "thrill" of being a big girl that goes to Preschool has quickly faded, so I am bringing back some pictures of the good 'ol days when going to school was fun for Genevieve!
Now, instead of this cheesy face, I get to see lips quiver and eyes well up with tears...
She’s no longer independent...she won't leave my side without a cry and plea...
This is the face of an excited little girl, proud to be big enough to go...
And would you believe that she would now just rather stay home?
My little girl has a very sensitive side and doesn't do well with overly active, rambunctious children...aka...her classmates. Her teacher told me that most of the students are used to some form of daycare and that it is obvious that Genevieve is not one of them. So, poor Geneveive, sits quietly on the floor, criss-cross applesauce, while the others can't keep their mouths shut!
Ok, it isn't actually that bad, although it is a little sad! She only gets anxious on her way to class. She has learned A LOT in the whole month that she has been there. And, she does come home from school with a huge smile on her face, wanting to share everything she did.
Multiple songs, dances, paintings, projects, etc. And the best yet, the other day, she finished brushing her teeth and said, "I pledge allegiance to the flag..." Seriously? I didn't teach her that!

“I couldn’t have said it better myself…”
After waking up from her nap in an extremely grumpy mood, Genevieve was scolded time after time for having a bad attitude, being disrespectful, whining, disobeying, etc. She was disciplined and I asked her to go tell daddy sorry for all the above offenses. She walked over to him, gave him a hug and said sorry. When he asked what she was sorry for, she said, "for waking up too early!"

No, I didn't kiss a pig!
Nope, still no pictures here, but don't worry...I think they will be coming soon. I mean, my fingers are crossed, doesn't that work?
I have to be careful what I say on here, and I may need my husbands help in editing. You see, there may still be some Morphine in my blood, and it sure does funny things to people!
Apparently, after the second shot into my hip in less than 4 hours, I really started getting loopy! But, I would take the chance of possibly saying humiliating things than being in the pain I was in...I think. Well anyway, that's why this will be proofed by Sam. :-)
I spent Monday and Tuesday in the wonderful ER with what I claimed was a migraine. After the shot of some migraine med into my right side and then 3 doses of Percocet at 4 hour intervals on the first day didn't TOUCH the pain in my head, I ended back up in the ER.
That time, the Dr. examined me over and politely told me that I had the flu. Most likely the H1N1 flu. I love how they don't come out and say it..."You have the Swine Flu." But anyone with medical background knows that H1N1 isn't just "the flu." It's the one that has the media all outta whack, fearing for their lives, the one that has caused so many deaths, etc. Yep, that's the one.
The Dr. was so kind to tell me that not only would I have this headache and neck ache or this fever, but that the fever would get to 103 or 104 and then I would start coughing and my skin would hurt, and it would be difficult to breathe, etc. Those docs sure have a way of comforting the weary, don't they? Oh well, they shot me up with Morphine and it was like a miracle drug for me...until it started to wear off and they were going to send me home. The Doctor asked if the Percocet that I had at home was going to be enough. I told him that it didn't work at all and asked if he could just send me home with a prescription for morphine. Again, I was loopy and didn't realize how silly of a request that was. Apparently, Morphine is highly abused and isn't sent home with pts. But, the nice guy that he was, shot me up one more time for good measure before sending me away. I loved that man! :-)
Well, who knows if that is really what I have. They aren't actually "confirming" Swine flu cases anymore because the CDC was getting bombarded by ample amounts of positive tests. So now, they only test those that are younger than 2. Apparently, Yakima is getting about 125 cases a day! See, I just wanted to fit in!
So, for now, I am being taken good care of. I am VERY blessed to have such a wonderful family!
My mom, mother-in-law, sister and husband have gone above and beyond in comforting me. The girls have been really well behaved and quiet when they are around me. Every time Jocelyn sees me, she says, "mommy headache? mommy go to hospital?" and Genevieve has been good at rubbing my arm, but breaks my heart when she keeps saying "I miss you mommy." Those little girls are too much cuteness!
Let's just pray that no one else gets it!

Pictureless Blogging
I have a problem.
I have not been able to attach photos to my blog lately. The internet shuts down the second I try to. I don't notice this problem with anything else! And having no pictures to talk about makes me have no desire to blog. Sad but true.
But, I don't want you all to think that life is boring and dull and blog-less. It never is in this house!
Just a few highlights:
1)Genevieve started Preschool! She goes 3 days a week for 2 1/2 hours. The first week was the best. She was on cloud nine. Then the 2nd week came. Get this. She got sent home from school for having "bad toots!" Actually they said she had a tummy ache, but they also threw in the other part as well. Let's just say that this is not something that embarrasses a 3 year old, but only her mother.
2)Jocelyn is in a big girl bed! She does really well and never tries to get out. She loves that her bed is just like her sisters.
3)Jocelyn is also on the way to being potty trained. She has big girl panties and she hates them. Yep. She goes pee-pee in the potty about 4 times a day and often times keeps her diaper dry. She even holds it at a store, at church, or in the car until she can get to a bathroom. But don't ask her to put panties on. Not gonna do it. She prefers a diaper.
4)Oh, yes, we can't forget that Jenna gets to drive in a booster seat now. Come on people...this is huge! Actually, we just needed one in Sam's truck for preschool transportation issues. And for all of you questioning my judgement...she is of legal weight, don't worry.
5)Jocelyn is in gymnastics 1x/week while Genevieve is in school. So far she loves it. She is a little monkey and is up for any challenge. That girl has no fear.
Well, there you have it! My 2 and 3 year old are what keeps me busy. But I wouldn't have it any other way. They are the biggest blessing in my life and I love every accomplishment they have in their life.
