Slow start

Ugh! This morning I had such a slow start. I wanted to try to let Reagan sleep in since she's been sick, but I also had to make sure I got into work at a reasonable time. Time was not on my side - I left on time to get to work by 9:00 am, but then things started piling on. I forgot my badge (or so I thought), I had to drop off cleaning so I could park in the garage, I got stuck behind the school bus... what else could there be?

What is THAT?

What the heck is she doing? Tonight she was playing like she felt much better. Every time she'd hear the music on the tv, she'd start to dance. She usually just shakes her rear and sways when she "dances", but tonight she added a little flair to it. When she danced, she started this little side step move that made her rear swing back and forth. She'd do this little move, then stop and swing her rear around. Then she'd turn to you a gigggle and start all over again. Geeeeez. She's goofy!

Turning a corner?

Tonight Reagan was hilarious. She seemed to be much happier and she was definetly more energetic. We played quite a bit downstairs and then after dinner we played upstairs. She was so goofy at times that I was laughing harder than she was.

Jim and I sat upstairs and watched American Idol while she played in the bonus room. She got into everything possible. She was reading books, playing with her cards, throwing balls and bouncing like crazy on her horse. Wow! Not only that, she was just plain ole goofy!

Thank goodness for that. It's been hard watching her sick for the last month. :)

Rough night

Reagan had a really rough night tonight. When we got home she was super snuggly. I ended up turning on the tv and watching Clifford and reading books with her for about an hour. After that she seemed to get some energy, so we played for a while before Jim got home.

Soon after that, we sat down for dinner. This was probably the "end" of her night. She was GRUMPY - just so GRUMPY. I sat her down and gave her some mashed potatoes - a mistake by the way. She wanted to throw them everywhere. I, of course, did not want her doing that so I took it away. She threw a fit. So then I tried multiple other things to calm her down - food, sitting on my lap to eat food - nothing worked. Hmmm. She was having such a fit that she was working her way out of my arms very quickly.

I finally just held on tight to her flailing body and took her to the couch and started rocking her. It calmed her down so well that she passed out after about five more minutes of screaming. THank goodness.

Needless to say, I ate dinner with one arm while the other held Reagan sitting on the couch. :) She woke up and took a bottle (with Motrin) and played for a bit before going to bed. Geez!

Grumpy Mae

She's grumpy again. We had to take Reagan in for more antibiotics on Saturday and she's starting to show signs of improvement, but not much. She struggled all morning and then on the way to church. I was really wondering if we would be able to sit all the way through Easter Service.

We did! She did better than I thought, but she was 100% ready for her nap when we got home at 12:30 pm. We all slept for three and a half hours - waking up about 4:30 pm. Whew. I needed that sleep and so did she.

Easter Sunday

Happy Easter everyone! We hope you have a wonderful day!

Sick again, both of us this time

Both Reagan and I are sick this time. I had a nasty sore throat last night and then I woke up with my sinuses killing me. Reagan has been getting worse since her last ear infection (she just got off antibiotics on Tuesday). She woke up this morning with eye goop and nasty green stuff coming out of her nose. So we both went to the doctor and both got some more drugs. Yea team!
