Have mercy it's hot! the weather page says it's still 72 and it's after 11! course add about 15-20 more degrees for the hot-flashes and you'll have a good idea how suffocating it is in here lol I had planned to post earlier and call it an early night, but Angela is sick and she hasn't been quiet long. She woke up last night somewhere around 9:30ish, she sounded like she was choking so I went flying to her room tripping on everything and nothing too, and she was sitting up in bed reaching for me, she wasn't choking it was a cough! I have never heard a cough like that in my life, scared the dickens out of me! She was fine when I had put her to bed, and changed her diaper around 8:30 so I was totally freaking out! I gave her some meds and she finally went back to sleep, but was still up every little bit, she sounded better this morning but I was worried about whooping cough (never heard it before) or something that could turn to RSV, so after I dropped the kids off I went straight to mom's to let her listen to the cough, there was no fever no nothing, anyhow she was basically fine when we got to mom's. I sat there feeling like a "new" mom, or a total idiot lol and we finally decided that it has to be allergies, I gave her some more meds after we got home, it's dimetapp, I swear by that, even used it when I was a kid lol, anyway it has that extra cough and allergy stuff added, no way was I taking a chance that it really is a cold, anyhow...she has been perfectly fine since then, until it's getting time for another dose and then she starts up again. It looks like she's gonna be like mommy, have dimetapp and benadryl as best friends just to keep from sneezin or hackin constantly *sigh* the good part is that she doesn't really mind the meds tho, she actually asks for it! but now if it's that plain yuckified cough syrup the child runs for the hills lol
On the school front..the teacher read my note, but returned it minus any comments lol, could it be that it actually dawned on her that I'm not a real nice woman? or is it respect for her elders? rofl! I gave Bradley the night off tonight and just let him play, I know I probably shouldn't have but I figure he deserved a little fun-time :) When I was fixing his macaroni and asking what he ate for lunch today he asked if he could tell me something, I said of course, having no idea where he was heading..then he said that the kids were laughing at him today, ok deep breath mommy, don't flip til you hear all of it, so then I ask how come they were laughing, what was he doing and stuff..and he said he didn't know WHY they laughed, he wasn't doing anything at all :( I haven't told Greg yet, that's on the agenda for tomorrow, I figure wait and see how things go before I get too worked up, but God help me, it's hard to be the calm quiet mom even for 1 day, my temper is just too hot I guess. My mom says I'm more protective than a bear or lion, and even worse, I'm worse than she was lol course mom also thinks I should keep quiet alot when I don't lol

I'm so sorry to hear that Angela is not feeling well. Here's to getting well...

It's hot here too! I'm ready for a little of a cool-down myself.

-hugs-

Sorry to hear that Angela is sick. I would have been a basket case too. After having Carleigh, I definately qualify as "Paranoid Mom". I would call the doctor anytime I thought Jackson acted a bit different than what I thought was "normal". Poor kid! I'll probably embarrass him to death when he starts school. I already embarrassed Blake by putting an "I love you" note in his lunch box. ROFL

Sorry to hear that Bradley's still having a rough time too. Darn it - why can't kids just be nice?
