Superbowl and Super Sick

Steve and I hosted our Sunday School class Superbowl party last weekend. We had a good group and I think everyone had a good time. All the girls talked and never even looked at the game. We always enjoy getting to know each other better.


Monday night Sarah Kate started feeling really bad. So bad, that she asked to go to bed at 6:00. I KNEW she had to be low sick. Her temperature was 102. It even got to over 103 a couple of times. She was diagnosed on Tuesday with strep throat. We have never had that at our house before. She has been MISERABLE. The funny thing about her is that she will never admit to being sick or feeling bad. I would tell her this week that I was sorry she felt so bad and she would scream at me saying, "I AM NOT SICK, I FEEL GOOD!!!!!!" One time when she said this I checked her temp. and it was 102.2. She did not eat one bite Monday night Tuesday or Wed. She said her "tummy was full and she felt good!!!"
I THINK she is doing better. She was still running fever last night, but woke up this morning fever free!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to admit I'm like SK. I get mad when I am sick and deny to the bitter end that I am sick! I'm glad she is on the mend!

SK must be related in some way to Lance. Once he was laying on our bed, got up and vomited all over the bed next to our wall. He then claimed to feel just fine. He refuses to be sick. I, on the other hand, can have a hang nail and feel the need for Tylenol all day. Lowrey is just like SK. She had pneumonia one time and I did not know it. Watch out. I sure hope she is better soon!

I'm like Sarah Kate, wouldn't admit when I'm feeling sick though but my family figure out later that I am really sick though.

Poor SK. Amelia has had strep so many times and it is NO FUN. Once she stops sleeping, I know something is wrong. The one time I had it as an adult, I was SO SICK. Lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks because I couldn't eat. Praying it is gone for good and your sweet girl is truly better. :)

Something Good to Eat

Ever since Steve and I started dating, when we would go to Mississippi, his aunt would make the BEST ROAST IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!! Steve's Dad's side of the family gets together at his Granny's house for lunch every Sunday after church. The food is always sooo good!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always taken a liking to his Aunt Judy's roast. It really is the best roast I have ever had. When we were there on Labor Day weekend, my sister in law asked Aunt Judy for the recipe. Aunt Judy began naming all the ingredients. She said Ranch Dressing mix, and I bugged my eyes out and nearly chocked. I HATE RANCH DRESSING. I don't even like to be in the room with it. I had to focus on the word MIX....not the mayo and butter milk and sour cream that you add to it. Just typing those words makes me shudder. The recipe sounded awful as she rattled off the ingredients, but I promise, you have got to make this if you like a good roast. Trust me on this. Here it is: Get a tender chuck...

Complicated

Maybe I am wrong, but I don't remember life being so complicated when I was in middle school. Everything is so competitive now.  Maybe it was back then and I just didn't realize it. Sarah Kate started playing city league softball a couple of weeks ago.   We've been encouraged to get her private batting lessons. When I was in third grade I started playing softball and I just did it for fun!  No stress at all, as far as I can remember!  I just played.  I wasn't very good, but I liked it! Ha! Emily started band this year!  Before school started, I got a letter from the school district strongly encouraging "your band student to take instrument lessons."  WHAT?  I bought into it and got Emily private clarinet lessons (which she really enjoys)! But, what happened to learning as you go?  I never thought about taking private trumpet lessons when I started band. It seems like most parents are striving for their child to be THE BEST....

New Toys

Friday I decided that Emily was spending too much time watching t.v. I read an article on the internet about how babies learn best with hands on experiences. Emily has always LOVED t.v. She just gets glued to it. I had also been thinking about most all the toys she has are really too babyish for a 10 month old, sooooooooooooooooo I went to Wal-Mart Friday and got her some new toys. I got her a pull-along puppy and a toy in which you drop balls into the top of it and they go through a maze and turn on lights and play music. They were both for babies 12 months and older. Emily likes them, but she can't quite master them yet. She doesn't love them, as I had hoped. But, we have a family member who does LOVE them! It is our crazy cat Kristen. She loves to stalk and attack the puppy and she thinks the balls are for her. She played with them all afternoon on Friday. So Kristen thinks she has new toys especially for her and Emily is content playing with the remote, magazines, cords and...
