Magic Eggnog
A child’s mind is a very powerful thing. I have heard that a childs owwy can heal alot faster is you kiss it and make it better. It’s because there mind believes that it IS better.
Today we had Thanksgiving dinner at Forest’s grandma’s house. His sister was up from Kansas with her 2 kids, her husband, and his 4 kids. Through out the day, Glenn was getting more and more clingy. By 4:30 when we left, he wouldn’t leave my lap. He felt a little warm… He slept on the way home and woke up at around 6:00. got up, looked around, (I took his temp and it was 101) climbed on the couch with me and went back to sleep until 7:30. I took his temp again and it was 101.8. About a half hour later Forest was having some Eggnog. Glenn decided that he wanted some, so we let him have some. Out of the blue while I was pooring some, he told me that He NEEDED the eggnog to make him feel better. If he drank it, it would make him feel all better. So I decided to play along and agreed with him… After he drank the eggnog, he perked right up and was moving around and playing, and getting better by the minute. I got the thermometer back out and took his temp again. 99.3! His temp was also dropping!!! I couldn’t believe it. Within an hour he was almost totally better… I’m not saying that the Eggnog was what made him better, but it sure is a neat and funny cooincidence. I’m not sure what he had, but it sure didn’t last long, whatever it was. knock on wood… Hope that I didn’t just jinx myself by saying that it didn’t last long! lol.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving. Every year I normally go to my grandma’s house. Although I didn’t go this year because I had to work! My grandma lives about an hour away from me so I don’t get to see her (either of my grandma’s for that matter) very often. To make up for not being there on Thanksgiving, I went and spent the day with her Last Saturday. It was nice to make $20.60 an hour, which is what they were paying me to work the holiday… But it was wierd not being at my grandma’s. This is the first time that I have EVER missed a holiday there. I did manage to get off work early, and Forest’s sister and her husband are up from Kansas, with there kids (her 2 and his 4). Her 2 kids are the ones that we had staying with us during the summer! I can’t believe how much they have grown! They are both getting so tall, I swear before I know it, Gregory will be as tall as me. (I’m 5′ 7″). He is 10 years old. Wow! It has just dawned on me that in December, it will be 10 years since Forest and I first me with that first letter that he sent me… Anyways they will be leaving again on Saturday after the thanksgiving dinner that we will be having for Forest’s side of the family. And then on Sunday we have another thanksgiving dinner at my mom and dad’s house.
On the bright side, to make up for me working on thankgiving (as if the double time wasn’t enough) I have a 3 day weekend!!! I’m so happy and excited. 3 whole days of not seeing dairy cows, getting kicked, stepped on, dealing with calves (as cute as they are, they can be very frusterating), and getting to spend lots of family time together!!!
Babies in my belly
That is what Glenn told me this morning, he had babies in his belly. He stuck out his belly as far as he could and put his hand on his back and waddled away. It was so funny!!!
I’m not sure where he got it from though since we haven’t been around anyone that has been pregnant for awhile. My sister had a baby about 4 months ago, but we only say her a couple of times when she was pregnant.
Then after a little while he told me that he had to have his babies, so he ran and got a couple of kittens and pretended to pull them out of his belly button (again he never asked and has never been told how babies come out of the belly. although he has seen our cat have kittens). It’s a black one, he ways as he is pulling the first one out of his belly… It’s an orange one, as the second one is being pulled out.
Children really are a source of never ending amusement! lol.
