We’re moving this weekend, yay. The house is a more worn than the one we are in now, but it is in a better location and much cheaper, so yay. Best of all, we won’t be kicked out of it! (Knock on wood.)\
The boys are both doing well in school and are feeling better.\
Kevin is busy at work. I am not sure how he is feeling though.\
The End.

Bummer!
I didn’t pay attention to the school’s schedule which is really a shame because I missed out on the perfect opportunity to sneak up to Virginia so the boys could see the Lawver clan. Max has a half day on Friday for teacher’s planning and is off Tuesday for St. Patrick’s Day. (Yes, you read that right, the schools are closed for St. Patrick’s Day.) Taking Max out for a day and a half, we could’ve enjoyed four whole days in Virginia. Boo to my lack of planning. Remind me about this next year, ok?\
Speaking of days off, Kevin has an uncanny ability to be out of town when Max has a day off. Hmmmmmm.
When a wooo turns into a booo.
Kevin is going out of town tomorrow and this afternoon he came home at 1:15. The boys and I danced around and squeeeeed! How awesome is it that he gets to spend the afternoon with us???\
Kevin came in, got something he forgot to take to work, and left again.
Kevin is always right!
I shall not question him anymore. Except sometimes.\
Two hours at the doctor’s office, hundreds of dollars, six medicines… Max has asthma, an ear infection, allergies.\
All three of my boys have asthma now. Woe.
Home is where the family photos hang
We found a new rental house, yay. We’ll be moving in about 3-4 weeks. I have already started packing and am glad I never fully unpacked in the first place. The second thing I am going to do once we move in is personalize the new place and make it home. At least the family room and the boys’ room. I already know what I want, now I just need to find it. Some of these items could make excellent birthday presents (hint, hint). Be expecting a list soon, Kev!
Brian also gets his toes from his dad!
Brian has asthma. Woe. But just a little bit. “A whiff,” is how the doctor described it. The technical term is “mild and intermittent.” It used to be called “reactive airways disease,” which is a more accurate description according to the doctor. But, disease? DISEASE? Double woe. Anything with the word “disease” is bad.\
Brian’s been sick for the last two to three weeks. When his cough hadn’t disappeared after 10 days (being sick for nine days is ok- three days coming, three days here, and three days going), I took him to the dr. I figured I was overreacting, though I knew Brian’s occasional cough wasn’t normal. Turns out he had an ear infection, puss up his nose, and asthma! The doctor initially decided not to treat the “whiff of asthma” since it was just acting up because of the congestion. We went back to the dr a week later because the cough hadn’t ceased. Turns out Brian still had a raging ear infection. The doctor was pretty shocked, which was funny. He put Brian on a second-round of antibiotics and added some asthma medicine too.\
Brian doesn’t act sick, not counting the one day we tried to go out, except for throwing up once a day. He is really bored, but I can’t really send him to school or take him out to play. He is whiny and grumpy, but mostly due to the boredom and lack of Kevin at home. Brian is taking seven medicines right now, and all but one have to be given multiple times a day, waaaaa: two for allergies, two for the asthma, and three for his ear infection and congestion. Poor kid.
Stop me if you’ve heard this before…
Who is the target customer for the Valentine’s themed over-sized balloons and stuffed animals? I can’t imagine an adult male buying them and don’t think there are enough teens in the country. I ponder this every time I am faced with ‘that certain aisle’ in practically every store I frequent.

Personally, I am looking forward to this historical gem myself, Homespun Bride:\
bq. Montana Territory in 1883 was a dangerous place–especially for a blind woman struggling to make her way through an early winter snowstorm. Undaunted, Noelle Kramer fought to remain independent. But then a runaway horse nearly plunged her into a rushing, ice-choked river, before a stranger’s strong, sure hand saved her from certain death. And yet this was no stranger.
Suppose we never fell in love
I am going to ask him for help on my taxes
I was finally able to get someone to test Max’s reading level. Remember, this is the kid who taught himself to read when he was 1. He used to figure out atomic masses of compounds for fun when he was 3. For years he has been reading his uncle’s old science magazines. I can’t describe the ways in which his brain is so much better than mine (and probably yours, no offense). So……… Max is reading at a 12th grade level.\
Holy cow.
