Crazy Week!

Last week started off with Jack trying to recover from the flu and all his other ailments.  Then we had to deal with the winter storm from H**L. It probably wouldn't have been so bad had our hot water pipe not frozen (leaving us with only cold water from Tues. to Fri.) and if Justin could have stayed home from work and not had to drive on the icy roads (that since we never get this kind of weather they have no idea how to deal with).  We resorted back to the day's of Little house on the Prairie, boiling water so we could have a warm bath.  I have learned that it takes a lot of hot water to make a few inches of water in a tub warm and I have to say that I don't think I would have survived in Laura Inglis Wilder world for very long :-)  Thank goodness we had electricity and only had to deal with the rolling blackouts plaguing McKinney for a day.  We were some of the lucky ones that only lost power for 15 to 30 minutes every few hours.  I have friends who were without for several hours so I shouldn't complain.  Luckily by Friday our pipes had unfroze and I was able to take a nice "hot" shower :-)

Unfortunately Jack and I caught another little bug and he started feeling bad again towards the end of the week.  I was afraid his ear infection had comeback so we battled the icy/snowy roads and took him back to the Dr. on Saturday morning.  Luckily the Dr. said his ears looked fine, but we are going to go back in a few weeks for a follow up.  He is feeling better this week and we were actually able to get out of the house for a few hours on Sunday. 

On a happier note we have decided to put the furniture we have in our bedroom currently in the babies room and we are buying ourselves our very first bedroom set!!!  I am so excited!  It will be coming on the first of March :-)

I am hoping that Jack's recovery continues and we are able to get out and see some of our friends later this week.  He still has a cough that is getting less frequent with each passing day and he has been fever free now for two days.  We are expecting another winter storm tonight, but I am hoping that it won't be as bad as the last one.  I hope everyone is having a nice week and I hope to post again soon.  We had a computer malfunction which kept me from posting sooner, but I hope (fingers crossed) that rebooting the computer back to its original settings has fixed the problems.  Unfortunately we lost everything on the computer but its better than having to buy a new computer.
