Ten on Tuesday

{1} I have strep throat again/still.  I feel like crap.  Not Fun!!

 {2}Kezia has started pulling herself to standing, but not too often, because we have nothing for her to pull up on!


{3}  I keep tying to get pictures of Kezia and I get a lot of this...

And this...


{4} I love that TJ would rather have salad instead of fries.  Makes my heart happy.


{5} I made a zillion cupcakes for James' bake sale for school, but don't remember if I ever put up the picture I took of them.  I think they turned out cute.  I also made strawberry ones with vanilla icing, but the picture of them didn't turn out too cute. I also made a zillion sugar cookies as well as a bunch of giant heart cookies.  (James actually made the giant cookies, but whatever!)  Yep, I'm just that good of a wife! ;)

{6} If you've seen Myles (or were in my Sunday School class this week and heard him snoring!) you know that he has some nasal issues.  We were referred to a specialist forever ago and we finally got in to see her today.

(Myles got to suck on a sugar free/dye free/something else free candy flavored tongue depresser. He loved it.)

It turns out he has severe allergies to dust/mold/life/ect.  He has a nasal spray that he has to take every night, allergy meds he has to take every morning, he has to take a steroid for the next 5 days and antibiotics to prevent any infections caused by the steroid lowering his immune system for the next 10 days.  After that he'll be getting an inhaler to add to the mix, plus lots of testing and xrays of adnoids ect.  He has his first xray scheduled for the beginning of May.  Chances are he'll have to have his adnoids removed, but we'll wait and see.  In the meantime, I have to do everything possible to keep dust out of my house.  Ha!  I live in a house that is over 100 years old.  Dust just magically appears.  We can keep the dog for now, but she has to be bathed a minimum of twice a week, combed daily (multiple times is best), change Myles' bedding a minimum of twice a week, wash any curtains ect in our house at least once a month, among a bunch of other small things.  Add to that the fact that there is mold in the bathroom and we don't have the money to do the renos yet and I'm a little stressed out.  Fortunately, she is a great doctor and I'm sure we'll make it so my little man doesn't sound like Darth Vader all the time!

{7} Speaking of finances, I'm more than a little stressed about life at the moment.  I'm not putting this on her so people will think poor me.  I'm putting it here because this is pretty much my journal and I think this is important to note for those days in the future when I'm so wealthy, money isn't a concern. ;)  Seriously though, I lost my job the end of January and I thought I had to wait for my record of employment to apply for EI.  That's how it was when I went on mat leave with TJ, so I assumed it was the same now.  So I'm waiting and waiting and it never comes. I called my previous employer several times and they kept saying it was coming.  Then, the fourth or fifth time I called, they said they were all filed electronically and had been filed weeks ago!  AHHHHHHH!!!  So now we get to go for all of March with only James' part time income.  It doesn't even cover a 1/3 of our bills.  Ugh.  So. Not. Impressed.

{8} Forever ago, I put in my story for this photographer who was doing something called Operation: Confidence.  You can check it out here if you want to. 

{9}I'm too tired to come up with any more.  Sorry!

You are a crazy baker lady and your cupcakes look much nicer than the stuff I made for our bake sale at work :). I also hear you on the no money/ needing to do renos thing. Being a grown up is often not so fun. :(

Ahh, poor Myles! And Kezia is a doll! And your baking makes me drool...and I concur with Alisha. Money issues suck and being grown up is not as fun as I remember it being advertised! Hang in there!
