Happy St. Patricks Day!
Well folks, I made it back from Las Vegas all in one piece! I only donated $12 to the local economy and even managed to have a little bit of fun. I had the pleasure of meeting up with a couple girls from high school while I was there because it just so happened we found out on Facebook we were all going to be there at the same time. Who would have thought? The week was long and I came home with an absolutely fabulous gift. I received a pair of Bose QC3 Noise Cancelling headphones. Wow. These things retail for around $350. Seriously, does anyone pay that much for a pair of headphones? Don't get me wrong - I'm not complaining! They really are great and the sound is amazing. I'm just not used to getting such nice gifts when I travel.
Meredith has another ear infection so I am going on day three of 1/2 days at work since she can't go to daycare. I'm frustrated at our pediatrician's office. I called after day 2 of a fever and after going over the symptoms, they told me to wait it out for five days unless her fever got to 105. Grrrr. Yesterday evening, I got a rectal reading of 104.1 and I decided I just wasn't going to wait anymore to get her checked out. I called the pediatrician's office again and they were all booked for the evening and was told to wait it out again. Grrrr. We decided to take her up the street to a 24-hour urgent care clinic. After 2.5 hours, we walked out of there with a diagnosis of an ear infection. Hmmmmph! That's what I though all along - mom knows best. And to think her pediatrician's office wanted to wait five days of her suffering with that.
Her molars are really bothering her too. She walks around with her hand in her mouth whimpering and crying all the time. They are taking so long to come through. I don't think it has come down any further than it was a couple weeks ago.
She always surprises me with something cute when I come home from a trip. This time she had learned how to moo like a cow. Cute, cute, cute! She also calls me Mama all the time now which I love! She has known the word mama for a long time now but it used to be really random.
The floors are all done and I think it turned out great. We just need to put the trim back up and add the thresholds where the floor meets the carpet. Last but not least, we need to add a little touch up paint.
I bought Meredith some of those letters that you put on the refrigerator but she just likes to eat them or throw them on the floor. Here she is in action.
And here is the end result. Daddy has retired the letters after only a day.

I hate those damn letters!! They are ALL over my house. We finally decided to store them all in a plastic bin, and if Ryan wants to play with them I pull out a cookie sheet and he uses them on a flat surface. What's funny is that we've lived in this house 4.5 years, and just in my most recent cleaning and search&rescue missions under the fridge for OUR letters, have I found a bunch of the previous owners' letters.
