So this morning I awoke to a child throwing up and lying at the foot of my bed. I checked his temp and it was under 99.9 so he still went to DoDo's. When I picked him up he wasn't feeling any better. We had scheduled him an appointment for tomorrow, but we put him to bed at 5pm...and woke him up at 7pm to see if he wanted to try something to eat. He puked again! and he had 103.8 temp. So we called Mammy, she rushed over to sit with the younger two and Adam & I took Jacob to the ER. Less than an hour later (oh yes, St. Vincents, NLR is my secret and all the staff is so nice)...we find out he has the onset of tonsillitis and already has strep. I wanted high fives, b/c I told Jacob that's what he had and hoped that he wouldn't have to have his tonsils removed. I asked Jacob if he would say, "mom you're awesome".
I've had one of those re-affirming kind of days at work where everything seemed to work flawless in my favor.
He wouldn't say it, he did say this, "mom your kinda awesome, sometimes, like when you are crazy and do Randy Orton moves on me."
YES I roughhouse with my boys. Shocker...
That's all the praise I could get, it's like pulling teeth. I'm not awesome to him.
We have hit the "mom's definitely not cool stage" it kinda sucks for me! All I do is cook, clean, Dr. kids, take them to practices /lessons, do homework, and get to play (when other kids aren't around)...Oh well all is good and he will be 100% in less than 24 hours. At least I know he still loves me doing wrestling moves...I asked him if he liked the John Sena Move and he said, "not really". Where did the time go? He used to crawl in my lap and now he can't fit in my lap at 68 lbs. WOW- Boys grow quick.

Kobie's prayer
We went to eat at David and Nano's house tonight...Kobie said the prayer, "Dear God, thank you for today, and the weather, and letting us be able to come to grandparents house and eat, and Lord please let Nano's food be good, Amen." She was trying new recipes, so Kobie was leary. But we all died laughing. It was a great end to a Monday. Not to mention the humor of Holsted boys (including David) just being themselves at dinner.

Fun
I took off work Friday, ill. Yes, I really went to the Dr. for this recurring fever I've had since Christmas (never over 100) and they assume exhaustion. Huh? So my dryer hasn't been working for a few days so I called the repair man out, he was fast 30 min. it was the vent - so I went off to Home Depot to get a new one to fix it.
...And while I was there, I had the novice idea of figuring out the electrical work that has not been done since we remodeled the kitchen. Okay, so I ask the man there and he explains it all so quickly. I figure it out, and it works!
Two were done and I was excited and decided to tackle a third. I had to pull out the outlets exchange the dirty brown to new white and then pull forward the box so I could screw a plate on over the tile. The Third...there are 6 wires coming out! I have only seen 4...you know black on brass, white on silver. So I'm just so confused I leave the power off and hook up the fridge to the extension cord running to another room. Of course it's on a continuous circuit (reason for the fridge not working). So Adam comes home, tells me we are going out to eat, he doesn't want me cooking with exposed wires. I kinda agree, but my stove and everything was on a different breaker, but anyways he fixes it with a pig tail and some choice words to boot...and I continue on the next day and switch out all the ones in the boys rooms and the living room 49 Cents EACH...no electrician required. I feel like the most awesome Handy Woman. :)
Thought you might all want to see the cool pics of Kobie and his new guitar we searched for and found, then bought this weekend. It was a long time, I was supposed to go dress shopping with Steph and bailed b/c Kobie was taking more time than I had alloted in my schedule, who knew how hard it would be to find a bass guitar his size? BUT I found a dress in between stops and was thrilled it was under $35.00 just need a black shawl to go with it b/c it's strapless. If you have one, let me know.
