My Little Monkey

I've been wanting to write for a while, just haven't had the time (seems to be a recurring theme around here).

So I finished my big huge paper, and the smaller one that was due the next night. I did well on my most recent test and have been having not a horrible time with school. Still so busy it makes me want to scream sometimes, but what can ya do?

The munchkin got sick again. Not quite sure what's going on with him. He had a little bit of a cough Wednesday night. Then yesterday morning I was just about ready to walk out the door to school when Martin casually mentioned that Kaleb felt really hot. Took his temp and it was 102.3 axiallary, which means about a 104 if I had taken it rectally. Not good. And boy, was he miserable! Gave him some Tylenol and lots of cuddles. Alternated Tylenol and Motrin for the day and got a new thermometer. He still never got lower than 102 or so. The cough has gotten worse, but his fever is gone. If it wasn't down significantly this morning I was going to call the Dr. Now tonight his fever is pretty much gone, but that horrible cough isn't. It was starting to sound a little wheezy, kind of like bronchitis was setting in so we'll definitely be keeping a close eye on that.

Poor baby.

In other news, Halloween this year was a little disappointing. We never got around to buying pumpkins to carve, we didn't get a single trick-or-treater, and we didn't get to take the munchkin out. We had the day all planned out: Martin's mom was going to take the munchkin for the day so I could study for Monday's test, we were going to pick him up around 4-ish and take him around Martin's mom's building and to a couple neighbor's houses for some treats, then Martin was going to go to work. Late Friday night Martin's older daughter called to say she and 6 or 7 of her friends would be coming by Saturday afternoon from out of town for dinner. So other plans got pushed to the side and it was a little disappointing. It wouldn't have been bad at all on any other day, but it was irritating to me that the munchkin didn't even get a Halloween because of it. It's doubly irritating when said daughter has decided at some point in the last year that I'm not worth the time in her world to acknowledge, let alone be less than rude to. Apparently I'm not good enough for her and her (recently found) high and mighty ways. Ok, rant over.

So even though the munchkin didn't get to go out on Halloween, I decided that his costume for the night should be recorded for posterity's sake :) So without further delay, here's my little monkey man:

Enjoying his first candy. Ever. Kid can now spot a sucker from 30 yards out:



That's about all, I have a few other pictures, and one I must share, but it deserves its own post :)
