A strong will
As Abs has been getting older her personality has really been developing as well. There are two extreme sides. She is both very sweet and loving.... In contrast with stubborn and strong willed....Not that having a strong will is a bad thing. It is going to take a lot of work and patience if that is a trait that sticks. So I have been thinking a lot about it as of late because the thought of failing to help her harness the positive side of that trait makes me nervous. The last thing we want is a rebellious or spoiled child. I have already begun speaking to her softly telling her she doesn't need to be a mad panda. I tell her this when she is mid-tantrum, arching her back, spitting, grunting, and fussing.... Hearing my voice seems to calm her for now. I just wonder what the future will bring.

Sensitive skin
As I have gotten older I have come to realize how much I actually have inherited from my dad. Sensitive skin is one thing I could have done without. Well, unfortunately my daughter has not been spared. The other night I put her in bed with me for a while to help her fall asleep. Teething has been really tough on her. Well, I forgot I had used fabric softener on our sheets. The next day our poor baby girl was all blotchy and red. Little bumps had wasted no time popping up in her soft little skin. So now we are having to go back to using her Burt's Bees lotion 3 times a day to keep her skin from drying out. The one thing I am grateful for is that since I have had skin issues for 20 + years I have learned how to deal. So helping Abs is second nature. :)

The past 3 days
The past 3 days have been so tough. I woke up with a fever at 3:30 am on Tuesday morning and have had a fever of about 102 since then. I believe it is an upper respiratory infection, though, I am scared it may be viral based off of my symptoms. I will find out soon. Yesterday I worked on yearbook for like 6 hours, but got to where I felt so bad I had to stop. I have been working so hard to keep my two loves healthy, Lysol, chlorox wipes, germ x, wearing a cover over my nose and mouth... I have also had to distance myself from them which has been so hard on me. I haven't been able to snuggle my sweet girl in 3 days and it is hurting my heart. It is the first time since this time last year I haven't been able to be close to MoMo. This morning I got up at 7:00 and knew I needed to try and drive to the doctor. It started icing around the time I woke up with my fever Tuesday morning and kept precipitating until about 2:00 pm that day. We have literally been iced in. School was cancelled both Tuesday and Wednesday. Without being sick and having to reschedule our picture day would have been perfect. Once I got the windshield of the Trooper dethawed and had prayed.... I began my journey. Our parking lots at The Village were solid sheets of ice so I had to be extra careful and drive about 2 miles an hour. Once out in the open road you could tell ghat the city of Dallas had done little or nothing at all.... No sand... Salt.... Anything. This in combo with civilians who believe they have the driving aptitude of a NASCAR driver makes embarking on a cross-town venture nerve wrenching. I took the flattest route possible to the doc and when I crested the only hill in my journey and saw the open sign I got excited! Then I pulled up, tried the door and it was locked. I wanted to break down and cry because I feel so punk. So I called Zach to see if he could locate any other offices that were open, but our power was off again.... Oh yes. I failed to mention the power company had been turning off our power about every 45 minutes since 5 am this morning to keep the circuits from overloading. So I have to use the minimal access my phone had to try and death for another office, but to no avail. The power finally came back on at home and Zach called 6 different offices, but they were either closed or opening a lot later. That is when I saw a nurse at the parking lot of our usual primacare facility we go to. She was walking in and I motioned to ask if the were open and she motioned back that they would open at 10:00. Praise God! So here I am waiting for the office to open. With luck I will be the first person and the wait will be short. For now I am watching the anticautious Dallas drivers zoom by on icy Abrahms.... Hoping no one collides or looses control on the road in front of me.
Now about 12 hours later. Well folks the news from the doc is that I am fighting a bad viral infection, looks like the flu. I teared up when the doc told me because I never get the flu.... Maybe once when I was a kid. So I have had to quarantine myself in our bedroom. I am so freaked because I don't want Abs or Zach getting it. Luckily school has been cancelled for the rest of the week. I won't have to make any sub plans or miss any days of school. It is funny because I specifically asked God for a break from everything. Funny how he answers prayers sometimes. Well, I am off to watch Juno and rest. :)

Finally getting this started
So I have been wanting to close my Facebook account for a while. I am tired of being able to know what is going on in people's lives, but not have actual contact with them in months, weeks, even sad to say.... years. It was a hard decision, one I have been pondering for about 6 months. I realize I won't have as easy of access to people, but I hope that I can develop more solid friendships through it.
Anyway, I hope for the few of you who follow me from Facebook and others who join along the way will find this more informative about how we are doing in "The Big D".
