Secret/confession

Secret- Blaine calls me DAD all day long

Confession- It REALLY annoys me since I do all of the 'important stuff'!

No amputation necessary

Blaine had some type of bite on his foot yesterday which I thought was a mosquito bite. This morning his ankle was swollen and red. We went to Wal-Mart and by the time we left his entire lower leg was swollen and the bite was oozing puss and very red. As I pulled in my neighborhood, luckily my neighbor that lives 3 houses down is a Pediatric nurse at St. Johns Hospital was also pulling in so I took Blaine over there for her to look at his foot. She tells me to get him in to the doctors office pronto or take him to the ER. Seriously- y'all know this is just my luck! Here I bought all this fun swimming stuff and pool only to be on the phone with the doctor. UGHHHHH! ARGHHHH!
Well- he definitely has a serious fast growing infection (with a fever) and he is on some serious antibiotics that they treat staff infection with. He is to keep it elevated and we are awaiting the culture results. Talk about just crazy! Enjoy the gross pics! These were taken early this morning, prior to the leg swelling and oozing puss Poor quality- sorry.

FINALLY- Let me officially introduce:

Leelyn walks video

A day at the park

First I wanna chat about Blaine. Some of you know that he suffers from OCD- and this is no more then my diagnosis. LOL

We finally got him to stop the bedtime routine, but now his new thing is napkins. He has to have three napkins when he eats. One for his mouth, one for his hands and the other for his......nose? Yea, his nose- still trying to figure that one out. He not only has to have three but he has them strategically placed around his plate. UGH- I don't fuss over it but good lawd, why why why. He also is obsessed with hand washing. Lucky me, all summer long napkins and hand washing!

He also only wants to eat salads when we go out, which is fine but weird? lol idk....

I took the rug rats to McDonald's (boy I wanted some fries) but I opted for a Diet Dr. Pepper instead. Then we went to a local park to eat and play for a bit. Boys had a fab time and I was to until some teenagers decided to catch a HUGE snake that was about 5 ft long, green and thick. The snake was striking @ them and I was hyperventilating and needed a shot of xanax! Needless to say we split like a banana.

Hope everyone has a fab weekend xoxo
CRAIG- I will get Leelyn walking (video) soon----the batteries died in the camera

Jon and Kate + 8

I am going there!
First I can't stand the way Kate treats Jon! From the beginning she seriously got on my nerves! Let me preface and say I don't have 8 kids but she treats him like a child- like a dog sometimes! What I love about Jon is his ability to be carefree with his kids. Taking them on hikes, letting them eat ice cream @ Disney world without caring if they get it on their shirts (THAT EPISODE ANNOYED ME even more with Kate)

It doesn't give anyone right to cheat on their spouse (if he really did) but I would think that after watching herself on tv she would see the way she acts in general and especially towards him! Also- what is up with her hair, OMG!

I always believe there are two sides and then the truth- I also don't believe in staying in a unhappy marriage for the sake of the kids because I believe THEY WILL KNOW that you are unhappy! I do believe in trying everything before calling it quits!

I honestly do not know who I feel more sorry for- him or her! My gut wants to say him, other then the kids of course. I almost can't stand to see her face! LOL there I spoke my peace!
