Flu Freakout

I am suffering from a case of anxiety-ridden mommy hysteria. The flu outbreak is now being classified as an epidemic in our state. We had our shots but one of the Influenza A wasn't covered and that's the one getting to everybody. I even lied to Q. and told her school was canceled today. What kind of mother am I? Very crazy and paranoid, that's what! I am terrified of my two younger runts getting sick with the flu. Audi never handles colds well and BBB, what more can i say? he's still tiny and vulnerable to URI's. so I am initiating our first real world boycott. we are going to avoid everyone and public places (except the park on nice days--the park is ok cuz the sun kills the crud) and Superman is going to have to put up washing his hands and changing his clothes obsessively when he gets home at night. I am struggling with the church issue though. i think i'll take a can of Lysol with me and give it to the nursery leader. No one is touching my baby. And we are going to learn to love the smell of orange alcohol. I know how to push my family's patience levels to the brink. Poor peeps. Pray for 'em.

Its Official: I'm terrible at this!

I get so gosh darned frustrated with waiting for this stinkin' internet to upload pages and pics. Time is a valuable commodity around my house. Well i'll try to get the long awaited pics of our BBB (big beautiful boy) posted now.

FYI--Born on Dec. 8; 7#14oz 20 3/4 in. So that makes him 2.5 months old. His requirements are to be full and dry. Beyond that BBB loves to smile, coo, and play. He doesn't like to be alone. He wants a part of the action all the time. He's got a lot of energy minus the drama. So he's a very easy going guy. I like him alot.

The girls like him too. Q is my helper and Audi is the loving little me. FYI--Q goes to preschool, is potty trained (T.G.), and says the silliest, laughingest things. Shes a sunbeam now. Audi is getting clearer words everyday and she has begun to exert will towards independance (frustrating at times but part of life).

And these girls have TO DIE FOR eyes. Q with her striking baby blues in some hue only God could make and Audi with large green saucers. Superman keeps tellin' me my oven knows how to cook 'em just right. LOL

Some of the Darndest Things:

As Q. sneaks a sucker into her room, she shuts the door and then laments, "OH NOOooooo! How am I going to get you out of there!" The stick had pulled out of the candy, leaving it trapped in the plastic.

Q. says, "Mom, can i get somethin' for nothin'?" Suppose she's tired of doing chores to earn treats?

Audi, our little princess, prances and postures around the house in her genuine Disney cinderella gown, " I'm Cinerwewa. I'm Cinerwewa." She's obsessed with all things princess and there is a dramatic scene each time we have to change her clothes because she can't wear her princess shirt everyday or her princess nightgown all day. Not to mention all the singing, "ah, Ah, AH" from 'Part of your World--Little Mermaid'.

MMmmm...this one's pretty good to end with...

We go to a playdate and Q. comes running out of the bathroom behind her friend saying very excitedly, "He peed from the front Mom!" Now I periodically find the seat of the toilet up in her bathroom. So instead of griping at dh to put the seat down, I gripe at my 4 yr old little GIRL to put the seat down! who could guess?
