Believe it or not...I too can get sick!!

There is nothing I hate more than a patient showing up to the clinic with green snot running from their nose, sneezing all over me and my toys, and like today, with the most AWFUL cough I've ever heard come from a child. The best is when, mid session, a child tells you, "I didn't go to school today because I threw up." Lovely!! The parents response is always, "Oh, well that was this morning and they have been fine all day." I actually had a parent tell me ( and show me), at the end of the session of course, about the ringworm that she and her son had. It was spreading like crazy through his classroom, she informed me!!!!

So...as I blow my nose raw, cough up a lung and sneeze myself to sleep, I just wanted to put it out there that...I TOO CAN GET SICK!!!!! I must say, someone will pay if this cough wakes and irritates the "sleeping giants" I have worked SO hard to tame and put to sleep ;)

Elly's new rug!!

I must say that the hardest part about fixing up the nursery has been finding the PERFECT rug!! Finding something in our price range that I liked, with colors that went, that wasn't too "butterflies and flowers" was quite the challenge. After finding "the one" and bringing it home to discover it just didn't work, I was quite defeated. My dear, sweet friend Ali and her mom came to my rescue! As if hosting my baby shower wasn't enough, she said that they wanted to buy me a Pottery Barn rug as a baby gift! I was so excited when she called me to tell me it was in! Check out the pictures below...it sure does make the room if you ask me :)

Thanks Ali and Sandy...you're the GREATEST!!

Sampson approves!

I'm a real Texan!

Another Christmas has come and gone. We spent a great day with great family! Holiday's always seem a little daunting due to what I like to call the "holiday shuffle". Driving from Fort Worth to Waco to Granbury to Cleburne and back home is a little exhausting but well worth it in the end. This year was fairly easy due to Kris's dad and his family being in Panama and his Grandfather, unfortunately, has a horrible case of Shingles, which crossed him off the visit list. All in all it has been a great last couple days. Check out the picture below of my Christmas gift from my great husband! I'm finally a REAL Texan!!!

I had tried these boots on a year ago at the Stockshow but couldn't bring myself to pay the hefty price tag. They are by far the most expensive thing in my closet!


Thought I'd stick in a preggo picture for your viewing enjoyment :) 28 weeks and counting!

Brrrrr...

Sunday night I woke up to icicles forming on my toes. I got up to check the thermostat and to my horror it was 59 in our house!!!!! Two things went through my head, "something is wrong with the thermostat OR my husband is going to sleep outside if he turned off the heat before we went to bed." Turns out it was the thermostat. After some troubleshooting on our part, we figured out that it would work but only when it was on the fan. As soon as we would turn it to auto it would get all funky. So, we call our heater/ac man, James, to come on out and fix the problem! James gets here, clicks it over to auto, low and behold it runs like a charm! He tried everything to make the stupid thing act up...nothing! I thought of it as a little Christmas present. We didn't have to fork over a bunch of money to fix the stupid thing. An hour and a half later, our digital thermostat is out completely! Lets hope this is a quick fix and won't break the bank two days before Christmas :(
