looky looky!!

I gave myself a blog makeover.

Because it was time.

So what do you think?  (Is my sidebar confusing?  Because it kind of confuses me.  But I'm used to looking at the old one, so it could just be a matter of perspective?)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In other news:

Number Four has RSV.

Actual, diagnosed, the real thing, RSV.

You know how I mentioned the kids were sick and how grateful I was for modern medicine?  Yeah, well, that was all RSV.  It's just that Number Four has decided NOT to get over it.

We had to take her back to the ER again last night.  Because paying ER bills is the number one thing on my "I SO MUCH LOVE TO PAY" list.  But when your toddler is struggling to breath you really don't question it.

And now we know: RSV.

Yay.

Hi! I've been blog stalking you for a couple of months, and I had to comment to ask: What the heck is RSV? I could google it, but I'm a bit of a hypochondriac, and I don't want to get onto a website that will give me ideas...

Oh man! I'm so sorry about the RSV thing. We went through that once too and it was so hard. Our 4 year old twins had it at the same time and shared a hospital room for 4 days. Of course, they always have to do everything together!

Side note: So excited you're going to CBC! I'll be there too. Lots of good stuff is planned, it's going to be awesome!

Love the new look... and I too, HATE RSV. My littlest had it and it was totally miserable. Hope it's short lived from here on out!

I like the new layout. I know what you mean, it is always a little weird when you first change it. But it seriously looks great.
Were did you get the template from?

Hope number 4 gets better soon!

missOlea: RSV stands for Respiratory Syncytial Virus. It's basically a really long really bad respiratory virus. My baby has reactive airway disease, which makes things especially ugly.

Cynthia: I'll see you at CBC! WHOOOOOO!!!

Emmy: No template, I made it!! (am now sticking gold star to own forehead.)

The makeover is great. If you ever got bored and wanted to do one for me. . .

RSV stinks. Stinks, stinks, stinks. We had it last winter. I am so sorry. I hope she gets over it soon.

Lovely (although I was kind of a fan of the pig) you definitely deserve a gold star.

hair loss and mourning

By
I like Monkey's hair long.  I tried to grow out Opie's hair when he was younger, but he has always had a tremendously large head, and he also has very thick wavy hair.  You pair those two together, throw in some long locks, and you've got yourself a genuinely bonified giant-head child.  So I've learned my lesson: keep Opie's hair short. But Monkey's hair?  It's so soft, and straight (our only straight-haired child) and super super cute when it's long.  SUPER CUTE.  (Agree with me - it's my blog.)  But not many people liked the whole long hair thing.  I kept having to threaten various family members with things like, "If I come back to find him with short hair I will DISOWN you, run away with my kids and you will never hear from us again.  EVER."  (Husband was particularly sensitive to this threat.) However, I did say that once random strangers started referring to him as a girl, I would consider cutting it.  And even though ...

GIVEAWAY (of the photo Christmas card variety)

By
I think I just creeped out my four year old. I pulled out the, "You'd better go to bed because Santa's Elves are watching you to make sure you're being good!" routine. His eyes got big, and round, and scared. And he said, "Why would they do that?!" Also, our church building burned down yesterday. No wait, it didn't. But the alarm went off, and the entire ward just sat there in the chapel (and gym, because we have an enormous ward.) I sat there too. I don't know what everyone else was thinking, but the thought going through my head was, "Can somebody please get that alarm turned off, it is WAY TOO LOUD!!!!" Seriously, I think our ward is now 37% deafer after that. Oh, and there was no actual fire. And the first fire truck to show up was driven by one of our ward members who was on duty that day. Good times. And now, that GIVEAWAY: For procrastinators everywhere (that would include me) I'm giving away one free photo Christmas card d...

so here's the thing...

I have to make an announcement. But it's not one that I'm thrilled to make. For the past week I've been ignoring it so that, like the proverbial dog, it will just GO AWAY. Honestly, the odds of it just going away are slim to fat-chance, so I should just announce it already. I'm moving. To Utah. Every time I think about it, I also think I'm going to throw up. I know there's a lot of people who like living in Utah, so I don't want to offend anyone, but I HATE UTAH. Direly. And when I moved away a decade ago I vowed never ever ever ev-er to move back.  EVER.  ( Motherboard told me last week to never make that vow because then God HAS to force you to move back - - too bad her warning is about 10 1/2 years too late.) So now, I'm sure you're asking yourself, "If you hate it so bad, why are you moving?"  Which is an excellent question. Husband got a new job.  With real live actual benefits (jobs without benefits are, shall we ...
