I hate when my kids are sick.

Well I didn't write anything yesterday because I was just too tired. We had a long day yesterday. We woke up pretty early (for us) 7:00. Dennis and Joe hauled a lot of garbage to the dump and we cleaned out all of our toys that we had under our deck. Then Den decided he would help Joe take his heavy large things to his new house, which is about an hour away. While Den was gone Ava got very cranky and ended up crashing in my lap. Dennis came home about 40 minutes after she went to sleep and when she woke up she had a fever. And so it began. I loaded her up with Motrin (it's the only thing that really works for my kids.) She was better in about 10 minutes. Den went grocery shopping and I went down with Joe and helped him get things packed up. Ava was pretty much ok, but we could tell she was tired. The medicine started wearing off, Den came home and we crashed! Luckily Ava slept thru the night, but woke up early this morning with a fever. I gave her some more medicine and she seemed alright. She was playing with pepper and then came up the stairs crying. I met her at the top of the stairs and said "what's wrong hunny". She put her arms up to me, and I bent down to pick her up and she threw up all over my shirt, face, and head. Then we both threw up, ugghh it was so disgusting. She took another nap today laying in my lap. She was so cute, but I hate it when she's sick.

We've been having a problem with our computer for as long as we've had it since may. You can't connect to the internet thru a program that you have on your computer. It's like a firewall was blocking it, but we didn't have any. We've tried for a long time to figure it out but haven't succeeded. Today Pepper wanted to connect his leapster 2 to the internet because he had awards and stuff waiting so that he could download them onto his game. I couldn't get it to work. I finally got fed up and searched on the internet and figured that it was Norton. We had uninstalled Norton because it just SUCKS. But apparantly Norton doesn't really go all the way away unless you use a uninstall norton completely program. So even tho it looked like we had uninstalled it, it was still there. IT WORKED! We go the thing fixed and got PEpper's game hooked up. I can also track his progress online. I was amazed that on a game that taught multiplication of 1's 5's and I think 7's he had gotten them right 49% of the time. Now I know that's not a lot but that was within 12 minutes and for a 4 year old that's pretty impressive. Those leapsters are amazing, I would recommend them to anyone.

Well my day is done, I'm going to go do some reading and watch some shows.
That's it in a nutshell....for today
