handling it all

So today is a half day at school, so when Messy gets home we will go to Children's hospital to get a blood draw...blood draws are difficult

did you ever see the movie Underdog?
well in that movie the evil scientist steals away all of Underdog's power with a needle
she thinks they are trying to take away her power

what is her power?
I'm not sure, but it is wonderful and she doesn't want people with needles taking it and can't understand why her mother is letting them do it. the place we usually do it is the pediatrician's office, they wont do it anymore so we must take her to children's it's actually been awhile since we did a draw...maybe she wont give us such a hard time this time?

we have had a lot of blood draws she has had Thrombocytopenia it means her platelet count was low, it improved, but you have to keep checking it, plus blood draws to test her epilepsy medication levels, and all the genetic testing they do on her.

everyone wants to steal her power

*sigh*

the end of the month we have an appointment with the Hematology department to go over the results of the platelet count

we will wait for a call from the Epilepsy clinic to hear how her levels are

after we get her blood drawn I need to take her somewhere fun

where?

anyone have any ideas?

she hates C E C it's too noisy

maybe we will just go and buy her a new box of crayons?

well snow

Church was snowed out today, MapBoy is not allowed to play Wii until the driveway is shoveled

it's not like there is 10 inches, just a couple I'm not mean right?
he thinks I am

*sigh*

I love the way the snow sticks to the tree and brightens up the world.

I love the overload of woodpeckers we get at the feeder on snowy days
I almost got a picture of the woodpecker at the feeder with MB in the background shoveling, but the bird flew away just as I was about to take it :(

I don't like driving in the snow
I don't like sliding on the ice


a few weeks ago we were walking the mall, and the girls were talking with Dh about the mannequins "he has no head" "he has no face" well now Messy has taken to drawing them...I sure do hope the teachers at school don't think she is weird...I might have to drop them a note in case she starts drawing headless people ROFL my little "Paula Picasso" :)


basketball starts
The boy is excited about it, and anxious at the same.


I am enrolling Moo into preschool
she has been asking to go ever since Messy was in it, I told her she couldnt go until she was three, and now she is three
she really needs to be around other kids, it's not like when the other two were that age, we were involved in everything, now moo is basically alone with me all day. Funny how we change huh?
