I washed my cell phone today. I found this out when I moved the wash to the dryer and heard a loud buzzing coming from the washing machine. Lo and behold, there was my phone, buzzing it's last buzz. I had to remove the battery to make the buzzing stop. Now I am cell-phone-less. I told John I'm actually surprised that I had this phone a year and a half before washing it. His response? "No iPhone for you". Dang.
Jaina is bad sick. She's been very sadface the last few days. Fever, juicy cough, and nasal congestion. She's ok during the day, appetite and activity level are normal, she's just "sensitive". At night it's a different story. Her fever spikes and her cough is non-stop and she can't breathe through her nose. I have her sleeping in my room so I can hear her if she chokes or has difficulty breathing, which hasn't even come close to happening, but you moms know how it is. Just in case. But mostly she's fine. Thank goodness for Motrin and Tylenol and boo on the FDA for saying I can't give her cough medicine.
Libby has seemed to be avoiding Jaina's cold, but man, has she been cranky! Today she sat in the kitchen and cried for literally 5 minutes and I still don't know what set her off. This has been happening 2-3 times a day for the last week. Maybe she's still funky from that trip home Saturday night.
The weather this week has been mild and intermittently rainy. I took the girls to the park last night for some fresh air. Libby was very happy, it's been awhile since we went. We got to feed the "gucks", too. John said "I can't believe I'm wearing shorts the week before Christmas". Gotta love the south. Tomorrow is high 60s and cloudy, so we're going to make a trip to the zoo so Libby can visit her favorite exhibit - the playground. Kids.
Oh, and sorry to disappoint, but I won't be sending a Christmas letter or card this year. For one - time just got away from me. We still don't have a good family picture. We seriously need to see some professionals about that. Secondly, I can't find my address book. It's packed in one of 12 book boxes currently stuffed in our storage closet. So, I apologize. But I will do a "year in review" post soon with the one family pic we took in front of our tree using our camera's timer and the last picture on our last roll of film (why hasn't anyone bought me a digital camera yet? Haven't I dropped enough hints?). I have no idea how it turned out as it's still sitting at Target, but I'm going to go there tonight to pick up the film and also get some cookies and a gingerbread house kit for Libby and I to do next week. Fun times. Bring your kids, I'll supply the milk.

I seriously think I have a phone curse. I can't seem to help but destroy them. Sorry to hear Jaina's not feeling well. Paige was pretty congested about a month ago and she worried me to death. She had so much drainage she kept choking on it. Poor thing. But we both survived. I feel ya on the Christmas card thing, too. I'm missing half the photo cards I ordered. I have the envelopes, just not the cards. Grrrrr....I've searched the house over and can't find them. So half our list just got cut. Sorry people!!! What can I do? I hope Santa brings you a camera. My fingers are crossed.
I have a friend who is a nurse and she told me I could give Kipling Children Cold and Cough Tylenol(off the records of course). I have done that ever since he was 1. Good luck we are fighting a virus with our little ones.
