HAPPY 6TH BIRTHDAY DANNY BOY!!!

My boy is 6 today! WOW! Well the girls stayed at Mom and Dad's last night so Danny got Mom and Dad all to himself this morning! First he informed us that since the girls did not come home last night, "HE WAS NOT WAITING FOR THEM TO OPEN HIS GIFTS" So after he opened the gifts from Dan and I we took him to breakfast at Hometown Buffet. (his choice) Then to Sports Authority to get his Basketball hoop. He has been wanting on since Christmas and when he was getting ready to open his gifts this morning he informed me that one was not big enough to be the basketball hoop, where was it?!?!? So we did find one and it was on sale!! Now we just need the warm/dry weather to get it into the ground! Later that afternoon the girls and my parents met us at Chuck E Cheese for some crazy fun!! yeah right, 100 screaming kids and $70 later (gosh I really do not like that place, but it is his Birthday) Emily keeps telling us that she wants to go on Monday for her birthday (oh I think I will have to pay her not to!)

We ended our day with Bailey's soccer game and oh my goodness THEY WON! And it was an AWESOME game! Bailey played her best game ever! (she has been in a slump lately)
We were so excited for the girls, this is only there 2nd win all year!!!!!

Is it ever going to end?!?!?!?!?!

So the day started pretty good. When Danny went to bed last night (about 7:00) Dan said he had spiked his fever again. But woke up this morning with out one!! Yeah! So I had a Dr. Apt so I took him with me. Still NO fever!! Yeah!! So..... let's run to SUPER WAL-MART, we are right here by it.....................Still NO fever!!! But he did say he was getting really tired. Understandable, he had been down for 4 days already. We get home, all our stuff unpacked, I am on the phone with my friend from work Alissa. Out walks Danny, no pants on, and tears in his eyes....................... I had diarrhea and threw up. CRAP AGAIN!!! So I strip off his shirt and put him in the shower to clean off. Clean up the bathroom, get him dressed back in his Jammie's and into bed. Poor guy! Cause the girls and I high tailed it out of there as soon as Dan got home! We headed up to North County to see my younger brother Rick for his Birthday. We had fun. Hope he is better for his birthday tomorrow!!!!

Day 4, oh lord how much more?!?!

Danny is day 4 fever and flu. Ran at least a 101 all day yesterday, and woke up with 102 today. He is on Tylenol / Motrin every 3-4 hours. He is in great spirits (he told me he loved spending the week with me) He is such a good patient. He watches TV. Lays on the bed then the floor, ,then plays game boy, then more TV. Has a small bite (usually dry cereal or min sandwich, lays around some more. Not demanding at all!!

I cleaned this house top to bottom yesterday! Bailey informed me that " Our house has not been this clean in YEARS"
Thank you Bailey for that piece of information! I love the honesty of children!
Have a great Thursday.

So Now I am at day 3!

Okay, so Danny woke up sick on Monday (we stayed home). Yesterday was a snow day (we were home). Danny woke me at 6:30 am this morning with a 102.5 fever!! Can you guess where I am?? Not at work. Lets see, that is 2 weeks today that I have not been to work (let's be clear that on Thurs, Friday and Yesterday were snow days, but still. I missed a week for me last week and now 2 days so far this week with him.
I was calling Dr's office at 2 min to 8 until I got through at about 10 after. We jumped in the car and headed to the office. Can you guess???????? THE FLU! Who would have thought?? Doctor said "that's why we say 24 hours fever free" Yeah, yeah, yeah, I wonder if I still even have a job after this?!?!?!
Have a better Wednesday than us! And please pray we get this out of our house soon!

Oh yeah, by the way, I will be cleaning all day if you need me!!

Finally a little snow!

Okay so we got a wopping 2.5 inches of snow finally!! Yeah St. Peters!!!! Look you can still see the edges of our deck. It is not even 2.5 inches of pure inches all over!!!

Bailey is trying to make snow angels on the deck and almost went to the wood!! Not enough for a snowman that's for sure!!!

Pray that we have school tomorrow cause lord these children will not last another day at home this week! (Oh wait, I'm the one that will not last another day at home!)

Till next time,

Jeanne

Snow? What Snow????

Okay, I know some areas are getting a bunch of snow right now, but St. Peters? Yeah, not so much!! These pictures were taken at 10:45 AM. Bailey was CRYING this morning, she is so mad she is off school. He words "who made this stupid decision?" Well if you are off today, I hope it was worth it more to you than us!

since we are not snowed in I told the kids we will go to the store and pick out there Birthday Cakes for there Birthday's this weekend. Danny has the big 6 years Birthday on Saturday and Emily will be 5 on Monday!!! They are so excited.

Go sledding one last time for us if you can!

Love,

Jeanne & Kids

CRAP!

That's all I can say! When I was in the shower at 6:45 AM Danny came in the bathroom crying telling me his belly hurt him. I had him go lay on my bed till I got out of the shower, thinking to myself "there is no way I can miss work yet again" the last time I was at work was Wednesday 1 1/2 weeks ago. I got sick that Wednesday afternoon, we had snow days Thursday and Friday that week and sick all week last week with Pneumonia. Finally going back to work and bam. How can we get him to school today????? Well I made him come in the kitchen to have some breakfast hoping it was that he was hungry or need to go to the bathroom. About 3 or 4 bites of cereal, and WHAM, throwing up in the kitchen.
How do we get rid of this crap??????
Well, as he lays around today I will be CLEANING, CLEANING, CLEANING!!!!

Hope your Monday is better than ours!
Jeanne

On the upward bound

Each day I am feeling better. I am hoping this illness is about beat and I will be back at the gym later this week to start my workout again.

I am sitting here typing and Bailey is next to me reading every word I type. WOW how big she is getting and I don't even think about it till things like this happen. She has been passing out her Girl Scout cookies, she did a great job selling them.

Danny had a great soccer game today, they lost but he played better than he had in a while. He had a fun weekend at Grandmas. He loves to go and get spoiled.

Emily had an awesome day yesterday, Aunt Kath (Bailey just told me this should say "Aunt Crazy") anyway, Aunt Kath picked her up around noon, took her to lunch, went shopping for her birthday, and went bowling, and to dinner. She didn't get home till after 10 PM. She was so excited about all the fun she had, said "It was her best shopping fun day EVER". You should see the Hannah Montana wig she got! WOW EMILY WITH LONG BLONDE HAIR!!!!!! I will have to take a picture and post it on here.

I am hopping Dan is not coming down with something, he was sleeping at 7 tonight! But he did a full day today: 18 holes of golf, soccer practice with Bailey's team, Danny's game (watched this one), and dinner with the wife and kids. I guess that is enough to knock anyone out!!

I hope you all have a great week! I will keep you posted of our crazy life!
