This Week

So we've had an interesting week all in all. I started my new job at Wal-Mart on Thursday. Checking groceries is definitely not the worst job in the world I have to say. I do like to talk to people and you meet all kinds at your local Wal-Mart. I was going to take a picture of my badge and share my shame, but it's in the car and that is just way to far. The worst part so far was having to sit through all the pro Wal-Mart propaganda during training. yeah yeah, we know you're not building an empire and destroying capitalism, I get it.

Some of you may know that Henry had impitigo on his private parts. ACK! It freaked me out, but we went to the doctor, got some meds and all seemed fine. It was not fine. On Wednesday during his bath I noticed red and yellow dots starting from his noodle and going all the way down to his knee. FRICK! Jesse took him to the doctor and they said it was a staph infection. I was freaking out! I mean, is it going to fall off or something like that? But the doctor wasn't all that worried and gave him some stronger cream. By now they look a ton better and Henry's pretty tired of everybody looking at his business.

I have strep throat. Not cool at all. It seems like I get it about once every year or two. I had to call in sick on my third day of work. How embarassing! To look like a flakey employee at the Wal-Mart! Anyway, I went to the Insta Care today and the doctor's name was, crap you not, Dr. Pepper. Can you believe it! I almost died. I didn't say anything, cause I'm sure he's heard everything in the book. Do you know how hard it was not to start singing, "give me more...of the Dr. Pepper flavor I've been looking for"? It was not fair.

Anyway, the baby is doing pretty well. I think he might be a little sick. My biggest sign is that he has been up crying for the last 2 hours. After 1 hour of the cuddling and pampering I just have to stick him in his basket and say, "I love you, but you are in charge of your own happiness." It's very Zen of me, don't you think?

Did I tell you about the time Andrea and I ran into each other at Wal Mart and we were both so embarrassed? haha

I'm sorry you're sick! Hopefully you will be back on your feet soon.

And sometimes you just need to let your kids cry it out, before you start crying too.

Ah Kristen, this is so funny and so not funny at the same time. DR. PEPPER!?!? I am LITERALLY laughing my buns off.

Well wishes and all that Jazz. I guess it's good we didn't have crafty night where you might have infected us all with all sorts of stuff.
