Nothing to say

This day slipped by without me really doing anything. Kara slept over my mom's house (as she does every Sunday night), so I slept in - way in. Until 10:45. It was very yummy! :-)

When Kara came home soon after that, she has a cold and yet ANOTHER abscess brewing, so she was very sleepy and happy to chill with Spongebob and have a nice long nap. Fine with me! I thought to myself, I can either get up and do a bunch of chores, or I can enjoy this and just relax. I chose relax! :-) I can do laundry any time and the house is clean enough for today.

Kara woke up soon after Michael came home and needed me to cuddle with her (she always needs mommy after she wakes up with a cold). I decided while she was watching cartoons, I could research abscesses and decide what to do. Heating pads, hot baths, medicine, etc. I have a game plan and made an appointment with Kara's pediatrician tomorrow too. We're going to get a referral to an infectious disease specialist - just to check stuff out. You know me, I feel better with a plan.

Dinner of tortellini for us, pb&j for Kara. We played in the living room as a family while we watched some nature shows. Then bath and bed time. At 10:15 as Michael and Kara were almost asleep, I remembered I've been awake less than 12 hours - I'm not tired yet! So, now I'm doing laundry and making my California trip list.

Something I thot of that I forgot to mention when I thot of it. You don't suppose Kara is allergic to the toilet wipes, do you?

I'm not sure - we've been using them so long now. The thing is when the abscesses showed up, we hadn't changed food, creams, diapers, drinks, laundry detergent, anything for at least 3 months. :-( You know I've been racking my brain.

Yesterday Kara said, why can't I see my Mamaw? I said, she lives far away, do you think we should go see her soon? She said, yes, I really miss her.

that's funny that Kara asked about grandma. Hannah has been too lately! She even made up a song about all the people in her heart and listed every single person and animal in our huge family and then said she really missed Uncle Nat too. We all miss grandma!!

We miss her too! She said today - remember when I was at Mamaw's house and we were about to leave and she forgot her keys? I guess that's when she was there by herself because I have no idea what she means! She talks about her all the time - I wish we were going to the shower so she could see her. :-(
