Well, our Thanksgiving Week hasn't started out so great. Last night Asher was having a hard time breathing while sleeping, so I put some baby vicks on him. That didn't seem to be doing anything for him so I decided to move him into my room. When I did, I realized he had a fever of 103.6! I immediately went for the motrin which I no sooner got in him and he projectile vomitted ALL OVER myself, himself, my laptop, and my bed. These are the moments that I wish I wasn't a mother. I have a hard enough time cleaning up my puke, let alone cleaning up anyone elses, but it's what you do as a mom. So, I gave him a bath and cleaned everything that I was able to clean. I'm going to have to make a trip to the dry cleaners which doesn't really thrill me either. But anyways, I checked on him through out the night. He continued to run around 101-102 all night. This morning he had a bloody nose which was probably related to nothing, and he puked up what looked like green snot. So, me always being the one to go to the side of caution decided to make a doctor's appointment for him. The doctor came in, looked at his ears, said they looked great (which is a really good thing for my kids!). Then she looked in his mouth and said, "he has strep!". She goes, did you see that? I was like, no. So, she had him open up again and the poor buddy's throat just looked aweful :( So, he's on meds. She said he should be back to himself w/in a day after starting the meds. Right now he's napping in my bed while we wait for Shaun to get here so I can go to work.
Jaden had his only day of preschool for the week today. They're leaving for Indiana on Wednesday, so hopefully he won't realize that he got jipped a day. This will be the first year that either one of them have been to IN for Thanksgiving, and I'm sure the relatives are excited. The boys will be coming back on Saturday w/Shaun's parents bc Shaun has to come back early to work. It will be weird not having them w/me.
As for me, the current plan is to spend Thanksgiving w/my family. I'm making an apple pie that seems to be a big hit w/everyone at my work. I made it for a potlock on Friday, and it was gone w/in 2mins...NO JOKE! The day after Thanksgiving is the only day of the year that I willingly get up at 4am so that we can hit the stores and get all the good deals. I'm almost done w/my Christmas shopping amazingly bc I've been trying to fit a gift or two in each week w/grocery shopping. I love it when Aldi's starts selling their toys bc you can get some really good deals!
Anyways, it's off to work for me bc Shaun is here for the boys. Oh, and I get laid off the end of December! Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Christmas Already
I can't even believe I'm saying those words bc I can't believe it's that time of year already! I've been trying to work a few gifts in w/each grocery shopping trip. A few dollars here, a few dollars there. I can't wait for Black Friday shopping though!!! That's probably when I'll buy for the family member I drew and finish out whatever is left. I've already got a few things for Jaden, and I've FINALLY found something I think Asher will like. He's into dinosaurs really big right now. My mom got him a set of dinosaurs at TRU that I'd been thinking of getting him, so that idea was out. But, I think I'm going to get him one of those leapster books that reads along w/a wand to help them learn. He loves books too, and the little boy is smarter than smart. So, I think it's something he'd enjoy. I've already got ideas for the nephews and neice, well at least the little ones. No clue what to get Micah yet but something will come to me.
I may not get laid off this year. My boss is trying to work it out so I can stay on. Course, not sure how that's gonna work bc currently she'd need me to work days which I can't do bc I can't afford daycare. But, she said she's trying to work out the kinks. I was looking forward to time off w/the boys to have complete freedom, but the bank account will appreciate me not going off of work.
Jaden is liking preschool, might even be making some girlfriends..lol :) The teacher said he was so cute out on the playground holding the hands of two little girls...awww! He was telling me today that it was Tuesday and that I needed to take him to preschool. We still don't have our days of the week down yet :P
Asher is my Jackal & Hyde. He can be as sweet as pie, and then the next minute you'd swear he's demon possessed. He can be my lover, but then he can be my monster. I'm hoping he'll potty train soon so that he too can start preschool. I'm thinking I'll do a day when they both go together and then have them each go a day seperate. That way mommy can get a me day (YAY), and I can have one on one w/them as well.
Well, that's about it for now. Nothing profound to say and no huge news. Hope everyone has a great holiday season!

way to go america
Way to go America, you voted a communist into office.
Are you proud of yourselves?
You voted in a rookie, a FIRST TERM senator with zero military experience, the experience that is needed to be able to truly lead this nation at such a critical time.
You voted in someone who wants to steal from the rich and give to the poor, someone who thinks small business owners should "Spread the wealth", thus putting an end to the American dream. No more "Mom 'n Pop" restaurants, they wont be able to afford to keep their doors open once Obama rapes their wallets.
You voted in someone who wants to disarm our nuclear defense system, a system that WORKS and can defend our country should the war make its way to our shores. Someone who wants to invade Iran, which is a fantastic idea after disarming America.
Leave us as sitting ducks, great!
You voted in someone who associates with KNOWN domestic terrorists, yet has been able to smooth talk himself out of that. Someone who has illegal family members living in this country and wants to let even more illegals in to take our jobs.. and oh dont forget, he wants to give YOUR hard earned money to them while he's at it.
You voted in someone who cant even be proven to have been born in this country! Dont you find it odd that his birth certificate was sealed from being viewed? Seems to me that if you have nothing to hide, you wouldnt seal your birth certificate, right? Not to mention the certificate that did manage to surface magically was filed years after his actual birth.
Fishy, no?
America, you voted in someone who wants to give you "free" healthcare. I emphasize the quotation marks there, because nothing is truly free. Yes, you can go to the doctor without paying a medical bill, but did you fail to realize that he is going to charge 40-50% taxes on EVERYBODY for that Universal Healthcare plan? Yes, EVERYBODY. Even the people who have their own health insurance and will not be using his plan, they will still be paying for it. Great, I cant wait to foot the bill for some gang member who was shot, or some druggie who OD'ed, because Obama says I have to.
You voted in someone who was actually endorsed by Al Quada, and other prominent dictators. Someone who these people actually say they want in our White House. Shouldnt that raise a red flag? Why would Al Quada endorse him.. unless they have something to gain from his being in office.
You voted in someone who wants to stop helping Israel, one of our biggest and strongest allies. He wants to let everyone else go ahead and invade Israel, and you dont think that will piss them off? Israel has an incredibly strong military, I wouldnt want to get on their bad side.
You voted for someone who thinks its okay to partially deliver a baby and then murder it. As long as the baby is still partially in the birth canal, its only "abortion", regardless of if the baby is full term. Strong enough to murder babies, yet too cowardly to fight against our true enemies overseas.
Great role model!
You voted for someone who said in his own words that he thinks the government should have a hand in raising our children. THE GOVERNMENT! Do you want the government raising YOUR kids? I sure dont, and it will be a cold day in hell before I let him anyway near my family.
Oh and one more thing, you voted for someone who could quite possibly be the antichrist. I dont care if you are religious or not, check it out.
So America, congratulations, you have just sent yourselves to hell in a handbasket. I hope you are proud. Biden said himself, within the next 6 months America will be tested with Obama as president. I think thats an accurate premonition, and I am scared to see what is going to happen. But do me a favor.. if you voted for Obama, dont moan and whine and complain in a year or so when things are going downhill, because YOU ASKED FOR IT.
Dont blame me, I VOTED FOR MCCAIN!
