Oh, I'm so far behind on blogging again.  Most evenings I've either been folding laundry or doing dishes or snuggling my baby or drinking a margarita and watching trash tv.  Either way, I just haven't taken the time to sit down and write anything.  So tonight I'm catching up.

Saige's fever came back Monday evening.  It never spiked high, but went between 100 and 102.5 until last night when it finally broke.  We don't know if that's a good thing or not at this point (hopefully it doesn't mean that her body is giving up fighting whatever infection she has).  Clint ran a urine sample over to Coldwater yesterday afternoon so they could run an analysis.  Her white count and bacteria were high.  It takes 3 days for the culture, so we won't know what is wrong until then.  She is eating and sleeping fairly well and is acting fairly normal, but something is wrong on the inside.  Dr Fowler started her on an antibiotic again until we know what's wrong.
Also on Monday evening, Sloan cut the bottom of her foot open on a piece of glass while playing outside.  We have kept it wrapped up during the day and took the bandage off at night so it could get air.  She's been pretty tough and it's healing well.

I've been working on painting Jaide's room which was going to be a short, easy project, but it's turned into a pain in the butt.  I filled the nail holes and sanded them and painted them, then painted flowers on her wall.  Well, when the wall color dried where I filled all the holes, it was darker than the rest of the wall color.  I painted that room when we moved here 8 years ago and in that time the wall color has faded.  There is no way for me to blend it in and there isn't enough paint in the can to cover the whole room, so I'm mixing a few different colors I have together to see if it will be something I like.  That's just what you do when you are an hour from civilization and don't want to drive and spend money on something else.  The part of it that really bothers me is I took all the time to paint cute flowers all over her walls and now I just have to paint over them and start over.  So disappointing.  Rant over.
 
"Doing dishes" while the boys are at school...


Clint took Sloan to pee in the middle of the night and after she pee'd she told him, "The toilet's are sure going to get full, aren't they, Daddy."  She always has the funniest things to say, especially in the middle of the night.
