Snow Day #13

Today is our 13th snow day and tomorrow is number 14. I love spending time at home with Kyle and Ava, but I'm really sad thinking about how many days of our summer break will be spent making these snow days up.

Yesterday we all three bundled up and headed out to the doctor's office. I knew for a fact that Ava had a sinus infection and Kyle went to make the call. Before he did, he said he really thought I should see the doctor as well. I do not like going to the doctor! I try not to complain too much when I don't feel well and just try to let my body fight off any sickness that may come. However, I had told Kyle that I had a lot of tight, pressure in my chest and it really hurt to breathe. My whole body was achy too, and he knew that wasn't a good sign. I started to worry that I had pneumonia. So, Kyle went ahead and made a doctor's appointment for all three of us. (His ear was hurting badly.)

We were seen pretty quickly at the doctor's office. Ava went first. Everything looked and sounded good, but guess what? She had a sinus infection. I asked if we could have amoxicillan since it's the only antibiotic that seems to work, and she went ahead and prescribed it to her.

Next it was my turn. She said my lungs and chest sounded fine, but she seemed a little shocked when looking in my throat. She said I had a LOT of drainage in my throat and told me I have bronchitis. Fun again. I was already on an antibiotic for a bladder infection we discovered last week, so she went ahead and prescribed me a different one that should clear up the bronchitis. I still have quite a bit of pressure in my chest and it doesn't feel very good when I breath, but I definitely feel better than yesterday.

Kyle was last. He's got fluid on his ear. No infection, just fluid. She gave him some weird nose spray.

While we waited for our prescriptions to be filled, we went to the mall to kill some time. We ended up eating lunch there. (Me-Subway, Kyle and Ava-Wendy's). After we ate we let Ava ride on the carousel and the duck and Nessie the dragon(?). She had a good time. We were also able to get some clothes for her, which is good because she's outgrown everything!

So yesterday afternoon and today we've been resting and playing and trying to get over all this junk. It's no fun to see your baby sick.

Also.....what about all this snow? I mean, seriously, I don't know when I've ever seen so much snow. We were really looking forward to going to small group tonight, but went ahead and cancelled it for safety's sake.

I made some snow cream tonight and Ava loved it! Kyle's already begging for more, so maybe I'll make another batch tomorrow for them!

Well, with all these snow days maybe I'll find some time to blog a little. However, I don't have too many topics since we're snowed in! Oh well! Stay safe and warm, everyone!

Our New Little Addition!

We have had a new addition to our little home. His name is Whitman Nash Brooks and he is the sweetest dog I have ever been around. Let me tell you the story about this sweet little dog and how he became a part of the Brooks family. For Fall Break, and to celebrate my sister's birthday, we went on a little trip to Nashville. Our main purpose was to 1) eat at Chipotle and 2) take Ava to the Nashville Science Center. For some reason, I woke up way early on Saturday and went ahead and got ready, got everyone else to get up and get ready, and we headed to breakfast and then the Science Center. It opened at ten and we got there at nine. A few minutes after we parked, a huge truck and trailer pulled in, and the trailer had a dog on it and said Nashville Humane Society, Mobile Unit. I got out and asked if there were really dogs in there and if I could take a look around. I went in and there were three wild puppies and one little white dog, named Whitman, that looked at me pleadingl...

So Totally In Love....

This daughter of ours is the number one best thing that has happened to us since we got married! I say it all the time, and I can't say it enough....I love this girl! Her personality is growing and growing each and every day. She's really funny! She's learning how to see how far she can go before getting in trouble. She taught herself this week how to get on the love seat and laughs and giggles so much when she finally makes it up to the seat. She loves to stand on the love seat and completely understands that she's not allowed to do it. But, she does it anyway...and when we start counting to three she throws herself down and just laughs and laughs! Funny, huh? Some people think it's an attitude, and while we should probably be getting frustrated about that, we cant help but laugh because she's so stinking cute! She's growing up before our very eyes! I can't believe she will be a year and a half next month! I don't know where all the time has gone. I...

People Pleasing Problem

One of my biggest faults is that I'm a people pleaser through and through. People pleasing sounds nice, doesn't it? I'm telling you....it's not! It is a curse and I think it stems from the devil! I think the root of the problem comes from pride. I wanna make sure to please people so that I look good. I wanna make sure everyone likes me and likes what I'm doing and everything is happy, happy, joy, joy. Except.....all that is work. Hard work. It is an impossible task that leaves me awake at all hours during the night wondering how I'm am being perceived by everyone around me. People pleasing takes time, yall. It robs me of my precious time. Instead of stewing on people pleasing thoughts....I could be spending that time in the Word (remember how I recently posted how I'm having difficulty finding focused and intentional time with God? If I worried less about people pleasing, I'd have more time with God!) I could be spending that "worry time" hav...
