Friday Fancies

(Originally published by Nattie on January 30, 2004)

• One thing I know..five degrees below zero (F) with a 20-below wind chill is too friggin' cold.
• Other than that it has been a busy Friday. I woke up and fixed breakfast for the kids, took Jonathan to preschool, finished a library book, folded six days worth of laundry, picked Jonathan up from preschool, took the kids to the library, fixed lunch, took the kids with me to the store, took Anna to the doctor, visited with the great-grands, got gas, fixed dinner and am now sitting mindlessly surfing the net. I have dishes to do, but I'm zonked. I'm still coughing and wheezing, but I think it is getting better.

Jonathan's teacher sent a note home in his school folder saying, "Jonathan has been doing great in class! We love having him!"

I also need to work on helping him learn our phone number and I taught him how to spell his name wrong. Well, when I taught him his letters I was starting with the upper case. I hadn't gotten to lowercase yet. So he spells his name "JONATHAN" instead of "Jonathan." One more thing to work on.

Anna picked out a suprising book at the library. I think I have a little bookworm on my hands. This is not a three-year-old's book, but she wanted it and when I said I would read it to her if she wanted she said, "No, I read it myself."

We have one full-serve (for no extra cost) gas station in town. I felt so sorry for the attendant. It is bitterly cold and he was doing a booming business. I wished I had something I could give him. I considered digging out a pop tart from my groceries as a tip. :-)

I took Anna to the doctor today to recheck her heart murmur. She still has it. He said that it was louder. *sigh* So he wants her to have an echocardiogram. I found some good links for info on heart murmurs here and here. I know worrying is futile, but it comes naturally. So we are waiting to hear when the echo is scheduled. Wes is taking the day off work because we'll have to drive to the big city to have it done at the children's hospital.

I have to get up too early tomorrow. It is too cold to be out at 8:30 in the morning. But Jonathan has soccer. I need to remember snacks and drinks this time.

Everytime I ask the kids to pick up their toys they become lethargic and act as if their limbs don't work. Do you think this could be a virus? Pickuptoyitis? It sounds deadly. One just started writhing in pain and the other is crying. ;-)

I think that is it for my "Friday Fancies" except this... IT IS COLD!!!
