sick-o reid-o

Reid has strep throat...so he is stuck inside and has cabin fever like crazy. He is at the end of the 24 hr contagiousness but I figure keeping him in the remaining 4 hours of the night is a good think and he disagrees. We did make it to Hobby Lobby today and I bought these Magic Nuudles they look like packing peanuts but are made from corn starch and you get them wet and they stick togeather....really cool, so that helped a bit to have something new to play with.

However taking an extra child shopping is SO much harder when you are not used to it.. Macy is accustomed to shopping on Mondays and Fridays really does not beg for items....throw fits and continue to beg....Reid today did and I about shoved him in the HEBuddy machine myself. He felt as though he deserved treats....which I do allow them to pick a special snack and he chose oranges but that was not good enough once he saw gum....I did not cave and the message was hammered home that begging me gets you NADA.

Macy went to the plastic seurgon this week to have the lip checked and he seems to think it is a little puckerish at the scar, and uneven...and wants to fix it... his portion will be 350 ish but then there is the surgery center, and anesthisa guy...and I am torn .I think the longer I wait for it to heal more then we have to start the clock all over...but I'm scared This is a very bizzare notion but she is perfect in looks and personality my perfect package and I just do not want to damage that as she grows older with a scar that I could fix and make less noticable for her to not be self-doubting of later, we all have so many quirks, and goofyness as teens to knowingly leave something that can add to that almost seems mean....but on the other side maybe it would not be that bad???

We to the Kidney Stone Dr. and I have too much calcium and oxalate in my system so I am on a boring diet kinda to help lower them so if you have any yummy low oxalate recipes lemme know

I have a new to me bedroom set...it is a dark cherry 4 poster bed, sides, and armoire...and I love it. My old one was a gift from my wonderful mother in law, it was bed,sides,makeup,hutch,armoire,hope chest, and lounger....very ornate and beautiful but no longer what I wanted.... 12 years ago she was downsizing from the ranch to westlake and there was not room for a 4th set, I was going to my first solo appartmant and was engaged to Duke, so I got a great gift and 12 years ago when that happened and we loaded it up, drove to westlake with it on the trailer, and I was asked do you what that or the one upstairs...truly I wanted the upstairs one BUT knew Duke was not in the mood to move it all again...and it was a HUGE gift and did not want to be picky or seem rude so I said that the one we had packed was great....so 12 years later we swapped it for one of the ones that was upstairs then and now was in the bottom of her Austin condo to have A bed when we came to Austin. Huge thanks to Troy for all his help in making it happen b/c without him it would not have....he came to get a washer and dryer and boxes and ended up moving bedrooms too...
