2/25/11

I've been working from home yesterday and today, and I am missing human interraction.  Yesterday it was to test our disaster recovery system (basically make sure tripling our remote users wouldn't cause problems with the system).  I got a call around 2:30 to pick Harper up as she was running a fever.  Got her home, gave her sometylenol, and she was fine.  Temp went down.  Then she slept like crap last night, up ever hour or so, and woke up with a slight fever again.  At first I chalked it up to teething, but daycare sent home information about RSV, so now I'm worried about that.  Erich is with her this morning while I work until noon, then we'll switch.  So far she just seems cranky and tired, but no coughing and lower fever, so that's a good sign.

We got hit with about 5 inches of snow yesterday :(  I was really hoping this weather was over.  Maybe this will be the last snow!  A girl can dream...or go to Vegas in a week, I guess that works too.  I'm excited and nervous about it.  If Harper is still in this moody state, I'm going to have a hard time leaving her. Who am I kidding, I'm going to have a hard time leaving her regardless.  This may be the first time I've actually dreaded going on vacation.  Let's hope I can get an attitude adjustment before next Friday.  I took Thursday off to spend with Harper, so hopefully that helps. 

Abbey keeps wandering from room to room today, utterly confused as to why her normally quiet house is full of people.  She'll go to her bed, then be roused by me typing or one of Harper's toys.  You just can't please this dog.  Usually she tries to go to work with me, and while I'm perfectly find with that, I think others would tire of the barking and face licking. 

A friend of mine is due with her first baby any day, and will be induced next week if nothing happens before then.  It really makes me miss being pregnant.  Yeah, the pokes and prods and blood draws sucked, so did the special diet and constant urge to pee. And of course, the labor sucked.  And even though after the horrible labor I turned to Erich and said next time we're adopting, I'd totally do it again.  I loved being pregnant.  I'm not saying this to hint at anything, because Harper is more than enough for us right now.  Just saying...Good Luck Ballou Family!  Can't wait to meet your awesome baby :)

OK, am going to try again to get some February pictures up. Most are on facebook now, so you can also check them out there.

Groundhog's Day

So, welcome to 2013!  January was full of busy-ness in the Kant home, what with potty training in full effect, work being super busy and, well, I'm just really tired.  Plus we moved out office into the basement and let's face it, out of sight, out of mind.  And despite the ipad and iphone within arm's reach, I can't figure out how to post from the damned things, so there you have it.  Like I said, January went by in a blur, but luckily the groundog (and more importantly, my mom, whose birthday is also today) didn't see their shadows, so yay! 6 weeks until Spring.  Harper has begun potty training (well, has been in panties full time since late December) and is doing great with the potty piece of it.  The pooping? Not so much, and what sucks is that she really couldn't care less when she drops one in her panties...this mom, however, could do without shaking poop out of panties multiple times a week. Our only saving grace is that she goes to the same place ...

Booker's First Birthday

While he didn't get to go to Disneyworld with us, he did get a pretty high flyin' party.  I may have gone a leeetle overboard with the party.  But hey, you only turn once right, and he may be my last :( Our theme was, Time Flies, and we used my Uncle's vintage toy plane for the invites.  Pretty cute kiddo.  It was also pre haircut, so he still looked like a baby. Of course I can't find that picture, so here is this one.  He's still cute.   Just a small party with family, and he had a great time.  He has already changed so much since this day.  He was just starting to make words and now can say Mama, Dada, Harper, Abs, Dude, and a lot of signs.  He also loves to dance, and is seriously the most cuddly sweet boy you will meet.  We love our little Bubba!

Back at it

When I started this blog, I knew my number one issue was going to be consistently updating it.  I didn't think I'd take a 4 year hiatus,  yet here we are... I stumbled into a friend's post, which motivated me to get back into the writing vs just scrolling--i.e. Facebook and Insta etc.  I make no promises to be timely with posts, but I'm hoping with Booker in preschool in the mornings (and school full time in the Fall-gulp) I may be able to make a better go of it. After a lot of deliberation with Erich, I decided to leave my job after 14 years.  It was a tough decision, because I really enjoyed the people, but the work itself had dwindled due to other circumstances, and I was bored.  So bored.  And the more I sat in front of the screen, the more I grew to hate the job.  So it was time for something new.  I had always wanted to be a stay at home mom with Harper, but financially it just didn't work.  Fast forward 6 years and we found we could ...
