William Hayward Ammerman has arrived...

An On Going Theme....

I'm still sick!!!  Now, I have laryngitis and Tommy couldn't be happier!!!  My voice completely went out on Wednesday evening.  It still isn't back right.  I think it's from all the coughing I've been doing.  I just wish I would get over this crap!!!

I had an appt with the plastic surgeon on Tuesday and all looks good, so I go back to work on Monday full time. Boo!  (More like boo hoo!)  I've grown accustomed to my afternoon naps and catching up on my DVR.  Not to mention that I get dinner cooked before Erin gets home so I can devote more time to her.  Now, she'll have to compete with dinner time again starting Monday.  The best part of the visit with the doc is that I got the all clear to pick Erin up again.  It's been hard not picking her up.  Yes, I have broken the rules and done it anyway sometimes but for the most part I did what the doctor ordered.

Tommy had a birthday yesterday and we're going to his favorite Brazilian steak house tomorrow night to celebrate.  He is impossible to buy for because everything I thought of he shot down!!  So, he's getting a new pair of running shoes as soon as I can hold the gun on him long enough to get him to the store.

Kryptonite, Man...and Dave Too!

Okay I bragged on Tommy's super immune system just a little too soon.  Seems like weeks of Erin and Angela cooties have caught up with him.  He now has a stuffy nose.  Yes, that's it.  A stuffy nose.  - Wait, I'm mustering up sympathy.

I on the other hand, had to go BACK to the doctor because of my cough.  Erin finished her anti-biotics yesterday for her sinus infection and they say I have viral bronchitis.  Only time will make mine better.  In the meantime, they gave me daytime and night time cough meds and I seem to be doing better.  I was just this side of needing an iron lung.  Erin is fine and never really let the sinus thing get her down.

Just have to brag on myself.  I bought Erin the cutest board book every.  I thought how great it would be to help her with the names on the grandparents if she had a book she could look at.  So, one night when I was coughing myself to death and not sleeping, I got on line and found a site where you create your own board books.  I made Erin a board book of her very own and put our pictures and that of her grandparents and Roxie in there.  Of course, she can't care less about the book and calls everyone "Momma" - including Tommy and the dog!  After you point out that it's Daddy and "Dee" (her name for Roxie) she'll say them but before that, everyone is Momma.

I guess all kids are like that.  She has certain books that she just loves.  Then all of a sudden, she'll get tired of them and dig out one that I didn't even think she cared about.  Right now we love "Dave", it's a dinosaur book that someone gave her for Christmas and/or Birthday.  I can't remember because she never showed much interest in it until lately.  Now we can't get enough of Dave and will scream out Dave at the end of the book.

So, because I am so proud of my book that I created I keep pushing it on her like a drug dealer on a street corner.  My kid just says no! Very easily.  So, it's all Dave all the time.  Not sure if you (whoever you are) remembers giving her that book, but she thanks you from the bottom of her heart.

Sick In the Head

Sorry I've failed in the blog dept. again.  I've had a head cold that is bringing me down.  Erin seems to like to share her cooties with me.  Luckily, Tommy has an steel constitution and NEVER catches anything!!!!  I'm recovering slowly from the surgery and just can't seem to get back into fighting form.  I just have NO energy with this recovery and now this cold.  Calgon, take me away!

The doctor called today and they are putting Erin back on antibiotics.  We had her in there last week and they did a nose culture and she has a sinus infection.  Duh.  I could have told them that without growing mold.  Her nose is a non-stop snot machine and she's congested.  Thank you Dr. Mom.

We had a great time on Saturday.  We had a shrimp fry for mine and Louis's (Paw-in-Law) birthdays.  The weather didn't really want to cooperate but we had a good time anyway.  Tommy did a fantastic job on the cooking as always.  It was a very nice get together with our little family.

Roxie appreciated the company.  Aunt Lene, Granny and Amy all loved on her so she was feeling the love.  (She is greatly under appreciated these days on normal afternoons and evenings! But don't believe everything she tells you.  She's given to exaggeration!)
