Half right... half wrong?

Well, I do think the description part of this quiz is an accurate
description of me... the sandwich part couldn't me more wrong. I am
totally not into ham or turkey sandwiches and my mortal enemy is totally not the grilled cheese sandwich (gasp!)... In fact, my favorites are more like Norma's (www.notnormajean.blogspot.com)... peanut butter and jelly & grilled cheese!

You Are a Ham Sandwich

You are quiet, understated, and a great comfort to all of your friends. Over time, you have proven yourself as loyal and steadfast. And you are by no means boring. You do well in any situation - from fancy to laid back. Your best friend: The Turkey Sandwich Your mortal enemy: The Grilled Cheese Sandwich

What Kind of Sandwich Are You?

I'm Lavender

You Are Lavender

You are a sweet person with a very soft personality. People become easily entranced with you. They seem to glow around you. You have a quiet energy that can keep you active late into the night. Even if you aren't the life of the party, you definitely keep the party going.

Bring on the Peanut Butter!

OK, it's official ~ Kevin's no longer allergic to peanut butter! He had his "food challenge" on Wednesday. (That's where they fed him peanut butter in the allergist's office.) And I'm happy to say he passed with flying colors! They started out with a 1/4 of a teaspoon and gradually increased the portions until he had a total of 4 doses. We waited 15 minutes after each spoonful... Kevin was asking for more peanut butter on a purple spoon... he likes it, he likes it! This is going to be so much easier! Not to mention that it's one of my favorite foods! Peanut butter and banana sandwiches, here I come!

"Make Cheese"

Does anyone know what this means besides the obvious? My 3 year olds have been saying it... "Mom, can you make cheese while I'm sleeping?" or they'll come to the door of their bedroom and say "MAKE CHEESE", shut the door and run back to their beds giggling. Anyone got the 411 on making cheese or are they just plain ole silly?

$75.00 Popsicle

OK, call me a nervous Nellie but last night after we got home from
Kevin's appointment... I was concerned about Kevin... granted he was
due for anebulizer treatment and a dose of Tylenol... but the poor kid
was burning up, very itchy and having a difficult time breathing. I
kept thinking about hissats being 85 and even though they came up to
97, that was right after a treatment and what if they dropped down
again while he was sleeping? He was so miserable and not sleeping even
though he had taken a Benedryl for the itching so I decided I would take
him to the emergency room for a chest x-ray and then he'd be there if
he needed an IV or oxygen... so off we went. We arrived at midnight,
they did his x-ray pretty quickly but we didn't see the doctor til
after 3:00 am. Apparently no one is in x-ray past midnight that can
read the x-rays so we had to wait for an ER doctor to read them... in
the meantime, they gave him apopsicle, the doctor came in and said the x-ray looked fine and sent us on our way! So it's not pneumonia... we'll keep doing the nebs every 4 hours and he has 4 days left of Zithromax... I felt kind of silly paying $75.00 for the ER co-pay after paying $25.00 for the office visit plus $20.00 for prescriptions but better safe than sorry is my motto!

Poor Kev

Kevin's been under the weather for the last week or so... he was having a hard time breathing tonight and was actually asking me to take him to the doctor... good thing I did because he has an ear infection and his sat levels were 85... that's pretty low... they did a nebulizer treatment in the office and it came up to 97 so they felt confident enough to send us home... no x-ray so we don't know if it's pneumonia but the NP didn't think so; she thought he just sounded very wheezy... so we'll be doing nebs every 4 hours and he's doing a round of Zithromax for the ear infection... I'll be interested in how he does with it, the first time he took it way back when for his first ear infection, it did nothing... so we'll see... We go back to the doctor Friday night for a re-check. Keep little Kev in your prayers that he'll be feeling better soon.

What City Do You Belong In?

You Belong in London

A little old fashioned, and a little modern. A little traditional, and a little bit punk rock. A unique soul like you needs a city that offers everything. No wonder you and London will get along so well.

What City Do You Belong In?

Two Down... One To Go

Kevin's blood work for his peanut allergy was negative!!!! Next step is an "oral challenge" where they actually feed him peanut butter at the allergist's office. If that goes well, we are home free! That would be SO awesome! To not have to worry about Epi-pens and anaphylactic reactions... and to be able to have peanut butter in the house would be so SWEET! Wish us luck - our appointment is on April 25th at 8:30!

"But They Are Thirsty, Mom"

Kevin and Ryan's reply when asked why they were pouring Sprite into the fish bowl.

$4.99 versus $2.79

My kids love a cereal made by Quaker Oats called "Oatmeal Squares"... it's quite yummy! At Stop & Shop, it's $4.99... I spied it at Target today for $2.79 - what's that all about?
