and the nice people at poison control....

Last week. Oh, last week, you were so fun. I told you guys I have been sick for AGES. I can tell Todd is tired of it. Well, I am starting to feel a little better after the Robitussin, Vicks Vapo Steam, 10,000 cough drops....but I am going to try to get in to my doctor this week. PRAY that everything goes well and I can get in. THIS WEEK.

Anyway.....last week. On top of the ER, being sick....and whatever else happens in a week. So fun. The day after the elbow incident, the girls were happily watching a movie, Aladdin to be exact, when I thought I would take the down-time opportunity to listen to a random Podcast. Just for fun, nothing enlightening. So, as I was about 7 minutes in, I hear Emma coming. Great, I say, down with the down-time. Then I hear her saying "blah, bleck, yucky, pthhh". What has she gotten into I think to myself....and as she gets closer....I can smell it. Apparently she tried the Vicks Vapo Steam from the humidifier!! Ah! So after the call to poison control and the assurance that she didn't eat to much....I am definitely qualified for best mom ever after two freaky bodily harm incidents in 2 days. Nice. But she IS fine....so maybe. :) On the upside, she later pointed to the humidifier and said "YUCKY!!". At least she learned!

And today we have our VERY LAST face to face with the CAVA teacher. I am supposed to take work samples for Isabella and this morning I realized I didn't have ANY Science or Language Arts samples.....oops!! Good thing our meeting is not until 3:30! Well, in our defense, we still have a MONTH of school left.

Speaking of school, Abigail is starting to become a little jealous, I think. She has been wanting to "do school" with me. I mean, she usually joins our lessons, but she wants JUST HER and I to do some lessons. So I have been starting her on the Kinder phonics curriculum we used at the start of the year. Why are kids so smart? She can totally get it, so I think I will try to keep it up...then maybe she will test into the same grade as Bella when she enters school! A homeschooling mom can dream. Hope you all had a great weekend, have a great week. Love.
