It's been a good while.
I can't seem to get my mind wrapped around what needs to be done and what I want to do. I don't want to clean house, but it needs to be done. I don't want to go to the store, but it needs to be done.
I have things to do, I think I will get off here and go to bed...no, I'm not doing all that now.

UGH!!!
I have been in a terrible mood for 2 days now. I am not a very nice person, and I know that I have not been fun to be around...AT ALL. I just don't know how to get out of my funk that I am in. I need to be better, and I need to do it, quickly.
Ava has strep throat...and believe me, it has been a terrible 5 days so far. Friday night, while at Gigi's (so I could go out for some much needed girl time) she spikes a fever and vomits...Jeff goes to pick her up. Saturday we battle fevers, and again, she vomits all over me, not 10 minutes after a bath...off to the shower, for myself, and well, Jeff threw her in there with me. She is crying, I am trying not to gag and throw up myself, she had vomit everywhere! Sunday, a little better, still battling fevers....Monday comes around and we are off to the doctor...yes, positive strep screen, a little dehydrated (because I didn't mention she won't eat or drink, hardly a THING...). Monday, we actually get out of the house, go to the doctor, Kroger, and McDonald's. A chicken nugget will not get my child out of the funk she is in. Tuesday rolls around, I think I have had it. She has diarrhea now, I am in a bad mood because she has not been feeling good, in turn, makes her a beast. I know it's not her fault, I really do...but good grief.
Today, Wednesday...I decide she has been on antibiotics for 3 days, no fever today (thank God) and we have to get out of the house. We are at the park a total of 10 minutes and she has diarrhea, she can't make it to the bathroom on time...go home, change, have to go to the store. I again decide, please...can we just get out for a few more minutes...go to the park while Jeff goes to the store...15 minutes later...ANOTHER ACCIDENT. Again, I am not mad, not at all, she can't help it. Maybe it was too soon for her to go out? Maybe I need to get out on my own?
I think this is why I am in such a funk. I really never paid too much attention to the fact that Ava and I come and go, have a great day, blah, blah, blah...and now we are cooped up in the house like it's some kind of jail...I need to escape.
OK, enough, get it together...
You know one thing I can't stand...why, in the world, do receipts have to be a mile long. I really don't care about all that crap that's on them. Give me my receipt with what I paid for on it, and save a tree with the rest of that junk.
I'm going to bed.

Sweet Girl
I sneezed today, a big one....Ava, in the other room, says "Bless you Mommy", I reply "Thanks baby girl"...and she says "No problem". How sweet!

An old Email
Have you ever gotten the email that says...blah, blah, blah...friends come into your life for a reason...some come into your life for a season...others for a lifetime?
I have thought about this email for about the last week. And I understand it more and more.
I buy Peach Nehi for my friend...she is my lifetime friend. Peach Nehi gives both of us a memory of what it was like when we were little, when we would walk to each others house and play, how we grew up together. I love her, my life without her just would not be the same.
I had time to spare yesterday and was "in the neighborhood". I stopped and bought another lifetime friend an iced coffee, headed over to her office and was going to take 15 minutes. Sadly, she wasn't there, and I had 2 iced coffees to enjoy (all for myself)...didn't taste as good. I was really looking forward to that 15 minutes. So very thankful to have her in my life!
Monday, I came home from Tennessee to see yet another lifetime friend. I had a great visit, her hospitality cannot be beat (although the paying for stuff makes me CRAZY) and we had the best visit. I am much looking forward to her coming to West Virginia in November for a movie premier, yes people, my friend is coming to see me so we can go to the movies. How great is that? I have traveled to 3 different states to see her, I refuse to let our friendship die due to distance. Again, I can't imagine life without her.
I then have to think about the other parts of that email...a friend for a season...I had one of those too. I was somewhat, pushed, to be friends with this person. And as of now, I am no longer friends with her. I can't say that my life feels empty without her. I will not take away the good times we had, but looking back on those times, they were a hoax! She is not a good person, not someone I want to be around. I am thankful that I had her for a season, and thankful that season has passed.
I love my friends, they are an extension of my family. I have met incredible people who really have made my life better. I love them for that.
And for you 3 lifetime friends, and you know exactly who you are...I love you and my life just wouldn't be the same without you.

I've Done It!!!
After much confusion over taking pictures and using my software...I have figured it out!!! Finally, it has clicked and I have a little idea about what I am doing. I took this picture of Ava, at Ridenour Park one day while we left the house so Jeff could nap.
Now, I am not blowing my own horn, but this is the best picture I have ever taken, and "touched up". I am very proud of myself...I had to share!

I must have been busy...
I just realized I haven't been on here for a long time!!! We have been very busy. So, I quick run down before I head into the shower...
Ava is potty trained!!! Yeah for Catbird!!! Only a couple of accidents here and there, but doing great. I think she realized that mommy wasn't playing around.
Have had 2 great play dates recently. I am so glad that I have great friends. I am very blessed. Enjoyed the park with Sarah B. then again with Sarah C. Took a couple of hours yesterday evening to enjoy a cold Peach Nehi with Heather while the girls played in the back yard AND got to put a cute little baby boy to sleep.
Vacation Bible School was great all last week. I was a little bummed that I didn't get to go to the pizza party or the program because of work, but Ava went and that is all that matters in the long run anyways.
Now, trying to go to a going away party for a friend from work. However, not been able to find a baby sitter. This gives me only 2 options, one, don't go (which I really want to), or two, go without Jeff (and I really don't want to do that...) Oh well, I need to make up my mind.
Will try to do better...summers really are busy!
