Just couldn't do it...

Just thought I'd give you a funny picture to look at while you were reading. No rhyme or reason.

Okay, so here are a few reasons why I haven't been posting...


a. Spencer has been super sick for two weeks. Like not just...really sick for a few days and then get better. It's been like projectile vomiting and full body diarrhea (meaning: up his back all the way to his shoulders...not that his whole body was emitting diarrhea) two or three times a night... there were MULTIPLE sheet changes, clothes changes, laundry and baths at 2 a.m. with one major grouchy baby who wouldn't eat a thing. (I'm thinking of inventing a full body diaper. The diarrhea gets caught going up the back and the throw up down the front).


b. Then once that subsided he started with the bronchial cough, can't breathe and sore throat. Oh, and by the way. I tried the Vicks Baby Rub on the feet thing (the email forward that was going around) and yup...it really did work.


c. I'm now a zombie with Spencer waking every hour. Cuz by the time I fall back to sleep, it's really only been like 15 minutes of actual sleep until he wakes up again. (Brian was great on Friday night. He took the monitor into the other room and got up with him all night).


d. I've been way super busy with...let's just say "everything"....getting ready before our trip to Germany (sorry...still don't know when). Getting Girl Scout troop ready for their Patch
Ceremony and wrapping up the cookie season (you guys have no idea how much work being the leader and selling cookies is, but thank you to everyone who bought!!!) and all my church responsibilities, etc.


e. I've fallen in love with Harry Potter all over again and am spending lots of time with him. Thanks to Blaine and Alicia, I have it on audio book on my ipod that I'm constantly listening to it while I'm working around the house. And no, I never read Book 6 & 7. But now, after reading them? I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Book 6 and am halfway through Book 7. I'm sorry guys. But J.K. Rowling runs circles around Stephenie Meyer (yes, I read all 4).


And my last reason for not posting more is...


f. Is everyone bored with my Washington D.C./New York trip now? I stopped posting cuz it seemed like it was becoming "old news". But come on! Doesn't everyone want to see when we went to Philadelphia to visit the Liberty Bell, and then on to New York where we saw a Broadway play, etc.? Anyway, I may still keep posting for journals-sake. But just thought you should know what's been going on in my head that's kept me from posting. :)

Have you tried making the crib up with 2 sets of mattress covers and sheets? That way, in the middle of the night, you just peel off the first sheet and mattress cover and there is a clean one underneath. My email is: allison.plummer@yahoo.com
