Giggling Like a Tween

Since I got drug tested Tuesday, we ate poppy seed chicken for dinner yesterday :)

Last night, penny slept in her own room...well at least for a couple of hours. Dave and I were so happy at the option of being loud that we ended up staying up late giggling like school girls at a sleepover.

It began as a confession. I'm a horrible liar and Dave could tell I was hiding something. Well, it's even harder to hide something when you have a shopping bag of things even though you were supposed to be at a church activity all evening. We began laughing so hard because he said that he's always trying to get me to buy things for myself and I felt so guilty because I thought he wanted me to stay for the "will" writing lesson.

Somehow it turned into reminiscing over our first flutterings of attraction towards each other. We admitted to truths that we were too embarrassed to think about before. How we felt when our hug was sabotaged, that my heart skipped a beat when he strolled up to the camp fire, how he texted to see if I were an activity before he made an appearance, how I thought about him while I was on dates with others and gradually stopped trying on those dates. Overall, I married the right guy. We have mutually cared about each other since the first day we met.

Drug Test

Penny still has a cough but she seems much better. So we are on the slow road to recovery.

Mary wanted to win the spelling bee so bad this past weekend but accidentally spelled a word wrong that she knew. It is sad but also a relief. We love how hard she works and am happy she can move onto new things.

Penny kept rolling over and angled herself in the perfect position to fart in Linda's face. She did it several times, it was hilarious.

Dave wants me to stop eating candy. It's true, I'm addicted. Well, I told him I would go back to my goal of only eating sugary things on Sundays and Wednesdays if he makes a dermatology appointment to check out his moles. He still hasn't done it even though I hear from him all the time that I shouldn't make the carmel popcorn again. I think this ultimatum benefits me both ways it could go :) Dave says I've been making too many ultimatums. But hey, if they work!

I had to get drug tested yesterday, I've never had to do that before. They were super strict about stuff and I swear the guy who sat next to me was on meth. Typical, right? Anyways, you have to pee in the cup and then enough in the toilet to make it green. You cannot wash your hands or turn on the water while you're in the bathroom. You have to take everything out of your pockets and the temperature of the pee has to be between 90-100 degrees. I thought it was silly but Dave told me things his friends used to do to pass drug tests when they shouldn't have and it's ridiculous what people do! Hopefully, I'll never have to do that again!

Sick and Tired

In this home? We are all tired.

Baby girl has one of those deep, fluid filled coughs that is concerning to any mother. At night, we try to man her together and on our own but by morning we are both exhausted. Dave sent me off to the living room at 3:15am to get a consistent four hours of sleep and I feel like it's the best sleep I've had in years.

My anxiety has been particularly bad and so the potential of RSV is constantly on my mind. Do I take her into the pediatrician when I know that there are a bunch of sick kids in the waiting room? Do I try to figure this out on my own? Should I bath her more often or not at all? Is there more I can be doing?
