An Ear to Remember

Hailey had a tube put back in her right ear this morning.  The hospital told us to be there at 9:30.  At 9:20 I checked her in, my sister called, we talked all of five minutes and they called her back.

It was something like being in jail for two hours.  We were bored and wondering why we had to wait in a freezing room for 2 hours.

Finally they took her back, it took all of ten minutes and 45 minutes for recovery then she was back and starving!  She hadn't eaten since the night before and it was already 12:00 noon by this time.  For a girl who grows on average of 1 inch every 6 months, this is a huge issue.

She got a popsicle.  I think the expression says it all.  Although the TV was way up in that corner where she was looking.

She got the Nemo room.  To which her response was,

"Do you think Nemo's Dad will fall on my head?"
I look up on the ceiling, Nemo's Dad's head is loose and sagging down.

All is well.  She is home chilling out and eating.

Until next time.....

Blueberry pancakes

I got my Blueberry Pannnncakes!  I got my pannncakes!

Homemade blueberry pancakes with homemade maple syrup, can't beat that!!!

Mmmmmm, my mouth is watering again.

Fish on!  Oh, wait that's not a fish!

Hailey goes in tomorrow morning for one more tube.  Then home again to rest for the day to recoup and unwind.

Mark is making a quicky trip over to Montana.  He'll leave after she goes under and be back Wednesday night.

Hope you all have a great day tomorrow!

Still waiting

So I never did get my bluberry pancakes.  Tomorrow for sure, even if I have to make them myself.

Just thought you would want to know.

Gentrie.........still waiting......

Maple Syrup in the house

YEAH!  We have homemade maple syrup in the house!  Mark finished making the homemade maple syrup today!  Yippee!  Hooray!  Uh-huh! Uh-huh!

I told Mark today I expect blueberry pancakes for breakfast tomorrow, JUST so I can have some of his homemade syrup.

Not demanding at all!  Nope, I don't think so, I've been sick after all, I deserve some blueberry pancakes.

I absolutely LOVE the homemade stuff.  It is so much better than store bought.  Not as sweet and a bit of a nutty taste, so yummy!

I'll let you know about the blueberry pancakes.........

I'm sure I'm getting some.

Goodnight!

Trials of the Easy-Bake

So the neighbors across the street moved.  They packed everything up in one week and were gone yesterday.  They didn't know where they were even going until the day before.  Flying by the seat of their pants, in more ways than one.

Sometimes I feel like that.  Flying by the seat of our pants.  Who knows what's around the corner.

They gave Hailey an Easy-Bake oven before they left.  Brand new, not even out of the box, and of course we did not have a 100 watt light bulb.  So yesterday we had to go and get one.

Last night Hailey made cake and this morning she made sugar cookies.  Now she is out of mix.  This means Mom (aka: me) will have to go to Walmart or something and replenish her stock.

She is just pleased as punch that she now has one.  Almost annoyingly so.  Maybe only annoying because I'm sick and just don't feel good, and all she wants to do is bake with her Easy-Bake.  Which Mom does need to help a little. 

So Mom did breath a little prayer of thanks that she is out of mix.  Am I terrible?  I just want to curl up and sleep.  Why is it when everyone else is sick they get to go lay down and rest and sleep and stuff but when Mom is sick she still has to clean and help with this and help with that and stumble around all light headed and sleepy, trying not to blow her nose and sneeze snot balls on her loved ones.

Lovely picture, I know, but I am NOT a pretty site right now.  Just sayin'.
