BRIANNA'S RESULTS FROM HER TEST

Everything came back normal. Thank you all for your cares and concerns.

I KNOW YOU MISSED ME

Sorry I haven't posted in so long. I guess it's just taken me this long to "recover" from the Thanksgiving Holiday. Ya'll know that Heather and I did the midnight shopping excursion Thursday. It was fun. My shopping continued into Friday morning, afternoon, and evening. I was soooo exhausted. I felt like I was hungover. And no, I wasn't drinking. Heather had a great idea for Christmas presents for Carson and Brianna's teachers at school. So we worked on that all day Saturday. Yesterday, I just laid around the house. I had today off work. Brianna's doctor recommended that she be tested for cystic fibrosis. I took her to Greenville Memorial where they conducted a sweat test. I should know the results by Tuesday. I don't really think there is much concern. She is just wanting to rule it out due to her asthma issues. All right, I hope this gives you bloggers your "fix". At least for now anyway.

HAPPY TURKEY DAY EVERYONE

I wonder how many of you are sitting there reading this with your pants unbuttoned. I know that I sure did over eat today. How can you not? We have many things to be thankful for this year. I think I am most thankful to have this precious little girl bless our lives everyday. But I have to tell you that I could have killed her this morning:) While her Daddy and I were looking through all the sales papers, Brianna decided to keep herself occupied by playing with a stamp set. Lets just say that I now have blue and red footprints all through my house. Did I mention that we have carpet? I guess I should be thankful for a steam cleaner. I will make this posting short tonight because I have to get some rest. I baked last night, and cooked this morning. Heather and I will be doing our annual Day after Thanksgiving shopping starting at midnight. The best husband in the world is sending me out with his credit card. He must really love me:) I'm thankful for him too.

Tuesday

My day off was spent with Brianna. I kept her out of school. I know...........but it didn't seem fair to make her go if I was off. We went to the park and had a picnic lunch. It was alot of fun. I managed to even get some cute pictures. And in case you're wondering about that scrapbook I was suppose to finish, the answer is no. Not yet, anyway. I am trying really hard to get it caught up though.

RELAXING WEEKEND

This is a 3 day weekend for me, and I am trying to enjoy it. I haven't done too much at all really. Yesterday, we stayed around the house except for a visit to Granny's. I scrapbooked a page last night. Yes, just a page. Hey, it took long enough let me tell ya. I cleaned up the house this morning and went grocery shopping this afternoon. Then as promised, I took Brianna to ToysRUs. I always take her every year to pick out the toys that she would like to have for Christmas. And of course we couldn't walk out without anything. Her Daddy had bought her a baseball and bat set. (Heather, tell Carson he had better watch out. Brianna is going to be practicing.) Brian has work tomorrow and Brianna has school. So I plan on spending my day off getting some rest and finishing up Brianna's scrapbook from 2006. I am exactly one year behind. Maybe one day it'll be caught up:)

BRIANNA MODELS A NEW OUTFIT

I can't believe she actually let me take these pictures. However, you can see in one picture that she is giving me a little bit of "attitude". Not to mention I had to bribe her with a trip to the toy store.

13 THINGS I HATE ABOUT BEING SICK:

1. Not feeling like doing anything, least of all blogging.:)
2. Sleeping on the couch so that I wouldn't make my husband sick.
3. Making my husband sick anyway.
4. Spraying so much Lysol in the house that you could choke on it.
5. Taking medicine that should help you "rest" better, only it doesn't. It keeps you up ALL night.

6. Listening to everyone at work say, "What are you doing here? Go home!"
7. Not being able to smell or taste anything.
8. Blowing my nose so much that I look like Rudolph.
9. Having a whole layer of skin peel off my nose from blowing it so much.
10. Coughing so hard that my rib cage hurts.
11. Coughing up all that mucus-----yuck.
12. I've coughed so much that I can now hardly talk.
13. Looking like I've been hit by a MACK truck---forwards and backwards, a couple of times.

FOR HEATHER:)

Excuse me!!!!!!!! So I haven't blogged all week. Uh hello....its just been 3 DAYS. I have been sick, sick, sick. I thought that ya'll might have to come visit me at the mortuary:) But, I am FINALLY starting to feel a little bit better. A girl at work has told me everyday that I look like I have been hit by a Mack Truck. She didn't tell me that today, so I must look a little better anyway. Heather is giving me a hard time about my not blogging this week. So I pose this question: How many times have you visited Heather's blog, only to be disappointed that it wasn't updated? So here's poor, sick, snotty(literally) Kristy. I haven't blogged in 3 days because I couldn't get my hands free from Kleenex long enough to do anything. I have been working, spreading God knows what kind of germs at work....which I must add is stupid. Because I am sure that by Friday, someone will be calling in sick because I made them that way. When I've gotten home from work, I have gone straight to bed. I haven't gotten to spend any time with my child and now my husband is sick. So....Can anyone blame me for not blogging?


Really Heather, I have missed you this week. I am having withdrawals. As soon as I can finally have a conversation without coughing my head off, I will call you. I'm glad that you at least, are keeping up with your blog this week.

BRIANNA GIVES A MATH LESSON

Brianna has been learning math.

You will need to cut the sound off of the "Our Daughter is Growing Up" Slide with music so that you can hear this video.

A NIGHT WITH THE DOODLEBOPS

Friday night I took Brianna and Carson to see the Doodlebops. We went with Beth, a friend from work, and her two boys Brandon and Ethan. The kids loved watching DeeDee, Roonie, and Moe dance and sing on stage. I think Beth liked it just as much as her kids:) I had fun just watching Brianna and Carson. They REALLY enjoyed themselves.
