Change of Plans**

Today my plan was to get up, drop Dahlia off at daycare, hit Barnes & Noble for some bridal mags for a newly engaged friend of mine, buy some maternity blue jeans (sadly needed) then go to work where I would make final tweaks on our 'rough cut' of RILEY before screening it before a few cast/crew members tonight.

Instead I'm at home with a wee toddler who's hacking up nastiness in her lungs. She sounds terrible. When I called daycare today they said that one little one came down with bronchitis last week. Awesome. So we're going to the doctor this afternoon. I'm hoping it's 'nothing....' but I'd rather find out for sure.

Of course it's only a few days before Steve & I have our getaway up the shore planned. I'm feeling "okay" but I have coughed a few times today. I hope I'm not getting sick!!!

**Update: I took Dahlia to the doctor - it's an ear infection. On a scale of 10 it's about a 3-4 so it was good that I brought her in now, and now in two weeks (um, like I did last time...). Hopefully the antibiotics will work their magic FAST! Doesn't help the cough, but at least we know what it is!

Bad news that it's an ear infection; good news that you caught it early. Hopefully she's on the mend quickly! How did the viewing of the rough cut go?

I should've done this a year ago....

A pandemic game time & conversation (via Zoom)   Well, we're about 13 months into this pandemic and I should've been back blogging then. I mean, I was home an awful lot. I could've done it. But I didn't. I wrote in my actual journal but that's a crazy mish-mash of stuff. This would've been fun to keep just pandemic stuff. Ah well, live and learn. I'll be ready for the next one (no, no, I won't). It's been a year...a year of ups and downs; of being laid off and re-hired; of wondering what to do with my life and starting grad school. We got fish, we got two kittens. What a year.  Kids have mostly been troopers but there have been some tough days. August went back to hybrid last fall, then everything stopped for a while and went back to 5 days a week in February - hooray! Dahlia finally got to start hybrid in.....February? (I can't remember) and then started back in person 4 days a week...but after her first 4 days she was identified as a "

Penguin Shenanigans

Image
For our 2020 Winter Reading program, there wasn't an overall theme. I decided to create my own theme. And the Penguins took over the library! I printed out real-to-life sized photographs of penguins...an Emperor, a Fairy, a Chinstrap and a Galapagos Penguin to be exact. I put them on the walls in one area. My hope was that kids would stand next to them and measure up - and they sure did! It put a smile on my face every time. Above each penguin I included some facts. Usually where they lived, what they ate and any quirky stuff about them. It's always great to be able to provide a little learning opportunity along the way. We also included penguin voting. I always think it's fun to add a pre-math activity when I can. I made 4 buckets with a photo of each of the aforementioned penguins. Kids (& adults) were able to ask for a "voting token" (ie: a saved bottle cap) at the desk and then put it in the bucket of their choice. It was fun hearing t

I figured it out....

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.
