Hey ladies! I would have been here earlier but I was grounded. I had to finish my studid work classes. Hazardous materials in the work place, Violence at Work and Privacy something or other. All done. No more classes until next year. Although now I have to get started on my continuing education classes for my certification. So starting in the beginning of the year I have to get on that. Linda...you have to help me with that. I have to do a class a week until I am caught up. I have 7 magazines with 2 classes each in them, so 14 classes, plus a few more magazines will come in before my time is up. Blah!! So, I just have to pick a day and do it. Probably Thursday since that is the day that miss annoying provider that orders too many x-rays in general isn't here. Not that they take that long. I mean how hard is it to copy a test out of a magazine then sit with it and go through a magazine article looking for the answers that are in order through the article. I am very lame and such a procrastinator. BAD CLARA!! But I got it done and still have my job.
I still cannot believe how sick Ethan was yesterday. It was so bad and so fast. AS fast as it came it was gone too. He got really sick then slept until noon and then was fine. Then he kicked me out of the house to get him some chicken noodle soup. He has been asking me to leave him home alone for a few weeks now and this was his big opportunity. It was pretty cute. Of course, he's only 7 and in my mind still way to little to really be left home alone, but that doesn't mean I can't give him the illusion of being home alone. So I got an extra phone from my neighbor so that Ethan could call if he needed anything and had my neighbor available to check on him if he needed anything and knew that she was going to be home the whole time and he could go over there at anytime if he needed anything, got sick, scared or lonely. So, I ran off to get his soup that he wanted and came back and the house was empty. I went next door to fetch him. This cracks me up. We received a package and he had to tell someone so he went next door to let them know that we received a package. So he was just sitting there waiting for me to get home. I thought it was funny.
My kids are as comfortable there as they are at my house. On Thanksgiving Addie took off. Don't get me wrong, my kids don't just go running off from my house and go wandering the neighborhood but they do both leave and go to the neighbors house. If we can't find them that's it just where they are. We are usually pretty good about locking the front door so that Addie can't get out without letting us know but when we have a lot of people over that is not always the case. So, on Thanksgiving we all hanging out and I noticed Addie wasn't in the near vicinity so I told Derek he needed to go next door to get Addie. I didn't even think about it. I had already asked Ethan to see if she was upstairs and she wasn't so that was the only other place she would be. So Derek went over and got. They said she had gone over, sat down at the table as they were about to eat so they made her a plate of food and so she started eating. My mom was so upset. She wanted us to talk to her and tell her how scary it was that she ran off, which we used to do, but now it is so far beyond that. So I told her grandma didn't like it when she ran off when she was there. Our neighbor's house is a part of our house in her mind. I can't change that. My silly mom. She'd had a lot of wine at that point too so I wasn't really about to try and explain anything to her. But I found it kind of amusing.
OKay...I'm feeling better today. I'm back to random rambling. whew. I felt like I was rambling very strangely over the past few days. Just off a little bit. I hate it when my meds are off. I feel off. Yucky feeling. Okay, gonna do my personals in a seperate posting.
