So, it has begun.
Moira was in daycare for 3 days, folks. 3. 1, 2, 3.
She came home early on Thursday because she wasn't feeling well and by Thursday night, running 103 fever. Doctor's appointment on Friday showed no infection but a very nasty head-strong cold. Doctor told us she should be better by Sunday, along with no fever. Call back on Monday if not any better.
Friday night until last night included little sleep for all 3 of us, vomiting, high fevers, severe congestion, gagging, refusal to eat or drink, mopey/over-tired/clingy/not-sure-what-she-wants toddler.
Woke up this morning to her struggling to breathe/wheezing because of her congestion, and immediately called the doctor.
After trying to collect urine (repeat of her ER visit back in March) and pleading to drink Pedialyte, the doctor came back (the nurse and I did all of the above), and discovered she has a nasty, nasty right ear infection.
Of course.
Poor girl is miserable and our hearts are breaking.
I was feeling low when I got on FB while she's napping until I saw that Eye Candy Details 1st Birthday Party, Guest Blogger and Giveaway was happening. Today. Right now. I could potentially win a GC to the talented Edible Details (GO. CHECK. HER. OUT!) shop for some amazing fondant wonderfulness. Seriously. It would make M's party in January that I'm planning now so that I don't freak out then, only I'm freaking out now...simply amazing. Yes, indeedy.
Oh why yes, I DID enter. With every chance I can :)
Here's hoping to healthier toddler and a win. I could use one today.

Winner, winner, chicken dinnner deja vu!
Okay, so evidently I'm sort-of-kinda-little-bit lucky/good at winning these online giveaways.
I just won a pair of shoes from Monkey Toe Shoes from their giveaway on FB. Moira looked at the pictures and decided to get the frog ones. No joke - she kept pointing and signing and saying "frog". Amber Y, they have monkey ones :)
And speaking of the lovely Mrs. Amber, I just won HER giveaway from the My Memories Digital Scrapbooking folks. Oh, love. Oh, drool. *SQUEE* Thanks again, Amber, for that lovely opportunity. Maybe this will get my butt in gear to actually do something with all these photos!

Summer in the fast lane and another giveaway!
Life has been busy, busy around here.
Here's what's been going on (not limited to, but including...)
-Moira turned 18 months old and is a walking/running/toddling/signing/talking/screaming/yelling/whispering/loving/temper-tantrum-throwing sweet girl :) We just got her 18 month pictures done at Se@rs and they did an AWESOME job!
-Caleb interviewed for a new position within his current (and amazing!) team and boss. We'll know more this week! Included in this interview was the decision that he must go back to school to get his Associates degree. It's exciting and nerve-wracking all at the same time. It's going to be sacrifices from all of us - long days and nights for him (most of his classes are night classes), long days and nights for me and sweet girl, more time at daycare for Miss M until I can get there after my job and treasuring time when all 3 of us are together. I'm ready. Oh yeah, I may go back to school, too :)
- Trying to lose weight by running. Every other day. Training for a 5k in September. My first. I'm nervous, no doubt. But also very excited to be back in the U.P!
- I'm also trying to enter in this giveaway: Giveaway time! I'm nervous (seriously...go figure. I'm a dork!) but this would be AWESOME! And the dipped marshmallows? Um..yes, PLEASE!
- Trying to organize our basement...but goodness, that place is over-run by boxes. Slightly reminds me of the Hoarder shows but I try to keep it under control. There is a large area open for the laundry and we can move around freely. Caleb reminds me that it's not that bad and in reality, it's really not. It's just those moments of panic of "where in the WORLD am I going to put all this stuff?!"
-I am finding that I'm attracted/slightly addicted to Shark Week. Go ahead and laugh. I did :)
-As much as I love summer, I can NOT wait for fall. It's my favorite time of year - love love love cider, pumpkins and dressing up in snuggly warm clothes!
-I think that's it, for now :)

Winner, winner, chicken dinnner!
Having a crappy-craptastic day today.
Baby slept little.
Emotions running high because of exhaustion.
Needing coffee.
Wanting to just sit and cry...
and then, I go to check out Eye Candy Event Details to see if I won their giveaway because I NEVER win and the way I was going, I wasn't going to.
Only, I DID WIN!
See? http://eyecandyeventdetails.blogspot.com/2011/06/winner-of-2000-fan-giveaway-was-it-you.html
I started crying, but because I was so happy and SO incredibly blessed. Now, to celebrate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Life, love and giveaways!
Life has once again sped up at our house :)
It is once again time for swim camp and Momma has less duties this year (YAY!), so it's not quite as overwhelming. Still, running back and forth every day and twice a day this week and then again just once next week...makes for one tired and often-times cranky momma. M is starting swim lessons for the first time tomorrow and I am BEYOND excited :) Can't wait to see our sweet peanut playing in da pool. If her love for bathtub and small pools are any indication, we should have a blast! Squee!!!
A few weeks ago, I won a giveway by the Decal Gal (go look her up on FB!) and got a lovely decal promoting Pregnancy Loss and Miscarriage Awareness. It's on my car and makes me so happy to see it proudly displayed. Since winning the decal, I've been bitten by the giveaway bug. This one, Eye Candy Giveaway , makes me excited because it has some aaaamazingly talented sponsors and it's red, white and blue themed. My birthday also happens to fall on the same day as our nation's birthday and while it's always fun, this year I am REALLY struggling with turning 29. Don't ask me why - but whatever it is, it's stinky. If I got this giveaway, I think it would spruce up an otherwise ho-hum day and really make this birthday fun! Go check out the giveaway - it's stupendous!
M went to bed early, so I am able to relax a bit before bed. Tomorrow is going to be early and crazy all day long!
