RIP Carson Pawmer Carman

We had to put Carson down tonight. He became so lifeless today that I didn't have a choice. It was horrible timing, but how do you control this. Jim was out of town, Jordan was at her mom's and it was church activities night. When I realized I needed help, I called my parents and they came to the rescue.

Mom took care of the girls - got them fed and to their activities.
Dad came to help me take Carson to the vet.

It was flat out horrible.

I will miss my boy terribly.

Why can't they live forever?

She BIT me!

What the heck! Today was our first day of Spring Break. This morning, we got up and decided to be a bit lazy. Reagan and Maddy workout with me on the weekends - Maddy does Pump with me and Reagan walks on the treadmill or rides the bike to her favorite program. Anyway, after my workout, we were relaxing on the couch. Then one thing started and someone got tickled. Then the other one. Then the three of us were in the middle of a tickle fight.

It was lot of fun until Maddy pretended to bite me. I quickly reminded her that it would not be a great idea to bite me. Within a few seconds of her warning, she flat out chomped on my forearm. Luckily I had on a thick sweatshirt for my cool down period or I might have had broken skin. She made my skin turn purple and red right away and bubble up like a pimple.

It's taken about 12 hours for it not to hurt to the touch. Sigh. She did tell me that she had just decided she didn't want to be tickled anymore.

What a Gash!

Today was a fun day for us all. The girls had a half day at school and as soon as we got home, Maddy immediately got into her pjs. She was ready to snuggle under covers and watch cartoons and play dress up. We played peacefully for a while - I even got to dose off on the couch for a bit.

About 4:15, Maddy decided to ride our couch like a slide - she slid down the back of our couch. The bad thing - she had done it enough that the backing had pulled away from the couch and there was a nail exposed. She ended up sliding right down on that nail.

She ended up with a gash about eight inches long. I knew as soon as she started screaming what had happened. I scooped her up and took her upstairs to get Jim. She thankfully had done a good clean scratch. We washed her off and put on some polysporin. Geez. It's mean looking.

We took her to the doctor and he said that it was a bad scratch, but did not need stitches. Thank goodness. We got an antibiotic just in case and was told to keep her dry as much as we can and watch for infection. She should be fine in about 10 days.

TV game

Well tonight I used the "new" bonus room. Jim and I set it up over the weekend as a playroom with our old large TV. It's really nice. So I decided while she played with her toys, I would play on the Wii. I have figured out very quickly tonight that I am not a fan of her "tv game". She waited until I was in a hard spot in the game and walked over and turned it off. Just a touch of the button. She giggled! UGH!!! So I turned it on with the remote (of course I thought I was smart). She promptly got up and turned it off again.

So I got up, picked her up and held her on my lap while I played. That worked for about two minutes. Then she squirmed her way off my lap and acted all coy about walking to the TV. Yea yea yea. I know - it's all a game to her. But man, she was a determined little thing. I eventually gave up and played on the floor with her. :) I think that's what she wanted anyway.

What did she record?

Last night, Jim and I were going through our recorded list of things and found this "adult themed movie" that had been partially recorded. With Jim being on vacation, I naturally thought Jim had done it. When we looked closer, we both realized that it had been recorded on Tuesday morning at 747am. Hmmm. That only meant one thing - REAGAN!

She loves to play with the remote and the only thing he and I could think of was that she had hit enough buttons to record it. The show had recorded, but to watch it, you have to put a code in. So it was probably her. The next thing on the list was "Denise Austin's workout". Yea, it was probably her.

We are completely insane

Yes folks, Jim and I are nuts. All I wanted to do on Saturday was test drive a minivan to see if I could even stand to drive one. We didn't buy one on Saturday despite all of Jim's work and haggling.

But today - ha ha! Jim did it. Not only did he get me a Sienna, he got himself a new Highlander.

Geeeeeez!

Nursery mishap

We actually got up in time to go to church – Reagan slept all night, I slept in the bed, no complications. That is until we got to church. We dropped her off at the nursery, dropped Jordan off at hers and headed off to our Sunday School classroom. Within 10 minutes, we got paged. I took off to see what was going on and I rounded the corner down the hall from the nursery and heard her wailing. Oh My! She was just crying up a storm. The poor lady really didn’t know what to do with her. She was so tired but refused to sleep. I changed her diaper and rocked her – nothing worked. Next thing I know, Jim was standing at the counter and said “not working?” or something like that. Needless to say, we decided to take her for a ride while we waited for Jordan to get done with Sunday School. As soon as we got her in the car seat and the door shut, she passed out. Wow!

Green?

Ok what is it with Green Poop! She had green poop yesterday and three times today. I’m guessing it’s the peas she has been eating lately. Plus the fact that she’s doing it multiple times in a day is weird too. Maybe it’s the combination of the chicken meal plus the peas. Hmmm. Not sure but boy does she stink. Ick.

My First ...

Day two back on her schedule is off to a good start. Thank goodness!
She shreaked again today. It was really funny and too bad I have no idea what I did to get that out of her.
Okay – not to gross anyone out, but I had my first “poopy” clothing experience. I picked her up to go change her this afternoon and it seemed that she was a little warm and mushy all over her backside. I got her upstairs and opened up the diaper expecting a poopy diaper, but not what was there. There was so much poop in her diaper that you could see it through the diaper itself. It was EVERYWHERE!! OMG. I ended up changing her clothes and just wiping her entire body down. She will definetly get a bath tonight.
