Is it Friday yet?
So it's the beginning of the week, and yesterday was the first day back at school for students. It was so crazy busy. I mean BUSY with a capital B! I got a lot of envelopes done though.
Gavin went to the doctor. We thought for sure he had a Kidney infection because he's been feeling pretty crappy lately, back hurting, nausea every time he eats, overall fatigue and other stuff. Well he went to the doctor, and Dr. Barrus says that there is blood in his urine, so he's going back in 3 weeks to get another urine sample. He's not having any pain during urination, so the doctor thinks that it's either nothing or something kind of serious. We will see if the Hematuria goes away at the next appt, and if it does then he's in the clear, and if it doesn't he's off to a Urologist.
Harper's gifts are coming along great. We picked up a small bag of Pink Mega Blocks this weekend at Target since they were on special for $8, what a steal!? She will be very happy with her new toys.
I donated some toys to Harper's school that I found a thrift store, they were in excellent condition, and I know the infants room will be delighted to have some new toys! Harper's school needs some new paint, so I'm going to see if there is a group on campus that needs volunteer hours. They need the hallway painted and two of the classrooms painted. We also need help sprucing up the front of the building. We need to pull the weeds, attack them with some roundup and plant some lovely flowers and grass.
The schools new director is doing some much to get the school extra funds and state money. He's doing a much better job than the old director!! Changes are sometimes a really good thing!!!

Flower Planters Needed...
This weekend I had plans to pick up some needed flower pots from local Dentonites to donate to Harper's school, Fred Moore Day Nursery.
As part of the newly established PTA our first project is to spruce of the front of the school with beautiful flowers.
If you are in Frisco or Denton, and you have old flower pots that need a new coat of paint and a new home, then let me know, and I will pick them up one weekend and clean them up and send them to their new home at Fred Moore Day Nursery, a non profit dacyare run through the United Way of Denton.
Thanks!

It's Wednesday already!
Well I'm back at work as of yesterday. I didn't spend much time on the blogs yesterday, so now I'm playing catch up. I posted pics or my scrappin' space on the Scrap Freak message boards. If you want to take a little peek check the pics out here:
This weekend was extra wonderful.
Friday was a day of shopping for new clothes for Spring, Summer and work!
I lucked out with 4 dresses, 1 coral cardigan, 3 pairs of slacks, 2 pairs of shorts, 1 pair of knit shorts, 2 tanks, and 1 cotton tee. Gavin made out like a bandit too.
We started on buying Harper's birthday gifts. We hooked little Miss up with an easy to open and close umbrella stroller by Cosco. It's the best investment we ever made!
Then Saturday we spent most of the day at the flea market where I picked up some 800 Thread Count sheets for $20 (a steal even if they are kind of thin), 4 locker baskets for $20, and we looked at countless things that we'd like to refinish and restore.
On Sunday we just hung out all day because Harper had a SUPER long night. I was up with her till 6 AM because she was tossing and turning from a back tummy ache. I think she had too many nilla wafers at the Flea Market.
Monday was a relaxing day in the beginning for Harper and me. Even though I was running around the house cleaning up and stuff. I went to the doctor for a 2nd opinion on my asthma and she prescribed me advair and another rescue inhaler. She instructed me to keep taking my Allegra-D twice a day to cut back on my asthma attacks.
Tuesday I went back to work, and I took care of some stuff at lunch. I made a lot of envelopes as usual, and thankfully the phones and stuff wasn't so bad.
We will see how today goes. H
appy St. Patrick's Day!!!
Happy Birthday little Henry today you are 8! I hope that your new family is planning to celebrate!

On this most lovely of Fridays...
We woke up a the butt crack of dawn as usual with Harper. She wakes up promptly at the same time everyday! She is most definitely a morning person, and this should do her very well in life especially in school and any career that she chooses to pursue.
We ate breakfast. Eggy in a basket..it was yum, yummy. Mama put together diced cheese, fruit and scrambled eggs for Harper on the table. She didn't really like the combination much, and she really wanted to eat chocolate pudding, but even though she fussed I did not relent, and that is the beginning of teaching Harper than crying and fussing does not get you what you want in the long run. We have much better ways to communicate.
To add to the birthday list yesterday I have decided to pick Harper up a Baby Sign Language DVD, so that Harper may learn to better express herself and cut down on tantrums in the future since she doesn't really have tantrums now.
Right now my sleeping beauty is having a lovely AM nappy noo, and I am dying my hair 'chocolate velvet.' It is a dark brown color, and that is usually my forte. Eventually I would love to step outside of the box and do highlights or dye it red like I used to do when I was a young single gal, but for now.... it's brown. Us mom's have to keep it kind of real, right?
Today we got our tax refund, and THANK the LORD ALMIGHTY. We sure needed the money. Today we are going to do a tad bit of shopping then. I desperately need work clothes (pants), and I need at least 2 pairs of shorts for summer. To the mall we go or maybe we will go to Marshalls, TJ Maxx and Ross to find some name brand clothes for cheap, cheap, and today I think we are going to get Harper an umbrella stroller. Something that is easy. Her stroller can be such a pain at times, and she can't sit up all the way in it because it doesn't sit up that tall. She likes to sit up straight. I am so glad that she has perfect posture unlike her Mama and Dada.
