Men & Shopping
Bill and I went to Home Depot today to price up a lot of the stuff we need for the basement. I swear that shopping with men is a futile endeavor. I almost told Bill he better start looking at life insurance rates. He kept getting frustrated at me, because I was looking at things that weren’t on the list. He also was getting seriously frustrated me when I was asking questions about why we needed certain things. Then when he couldn’t find something he refused to ask for help. I could have just strangled him. All in all, we did get prices for everything we think we need. We are trying to make a budget, so we know what this remodel will cost, and we won’t run out of money.
The sickies
Well, we got a little worried for Madison this morning. She got up and told Bill she had to puke. She went into the bathroom and started dry hacking. She then wanted some water (which we gave her) and that stayed down. She looked really pale, but said she felt fine. We even checked her temperature, and she was fine. She ended up in the bathroom one more and nothing. She just got up now from a nap, and she’s starting to act like herself again. She’s eating a piece of bread, and she was just acting goofy. Even so, I told Bill he couldn’t bring her to the South Side Parade today. (For those of you who don’t know what this is, let me explain. The weekend before St. Patrick’s Day on the South Side Of Chicago there is a St. Patrick’s Day parade. Now, I have never been to this before. However, from what I have heard, it really is just an excuse for people to drink and get drunk. Now, I may be wrong about that, but I just don’t think it is a good environment for little ones. When we were coming home from the party last night, Bill made a comment about bringing the kids. I think he also knew he should start looking at getting some life insurance quotes if he did, since he know my feelings on this.) Madison seems fine now, but I am still keeping my fingers crossed. Sick kids make for a miserable house!
Help The Fight Against Autism
As you all know I have a couple of causes that are near and dear to my heart. The first one is March of Dimes. The second one is autism. Not only do I have a cousin with autism, but my sister in law is an autism specialist. She is in New York right now studying with one of the top specialists there.
The band Five for Fighting has truly stepped up to the plate with this issue. Every time you watch the video here, Five for Fighting will donate $0.40 to Autism Speaks. This funding goes towards research studies to find a cure. They are hoping for 10,000 hits. However, I know the blogging community, and I know what we can accomplish. Please pass this along to all of your friends and family.
Now, my cousin does not have same type of autism as the child on the video. However, the challenges regarding therapy and the insurance companies is the same. I do have to warn you though — make sure you have a box of Kleenex’s nearby because you are going to need them.
