Looking up.

It is difficult to deal with Autumn being sick without you. It is difficult dealing with me being sick without you. It is doubly difficult dealing with both. After our visit to the emergency room last night, I got Autumn off to bed almost immediately (she was worn out), but I was unable to fall asleep. I was back and forth to the bathroom a lot last night. Autumn woke up at 530 am this morning and that is what time we started our day. I feel as if I have been run over by an 18 wheeler or something. I just need some serious rest now. Every time I tried to nap today, the phone rang. I am turning the phones off tomorrow. If I do not get better, I cannot be the mom I need to be to take care of Autumn.

Autumn seems to be doing much better. We both had applesauce (Autumn kept hers down, I did not). For dinner, I gave Autumn the noodles from my Chicken noodle soup and I sipped on the broth. That seem to give Autumn quite a boost in energy. She even started playing.

Playing with the dog.

After dinner, Autumn and I went upstairs and took care of laundry.

Drying Autumn

Then Autumn took her bath and went straight to bed. I finished up what needed to be done around the house. I have taken my medication, I drank some Gatorade that Cindy left for me (Thank you Cindy, I owe you big time). I had an accident that I wish to never speak of again after this, but let me say that when I get old, if I lose control over my body and cannot make it to the bathroom, please put me down. I made myself take a shower and get rid of the nastiness that has accumulated on me over the last few days. I brushed my teeth (and now I need a new toothbrush) and now I am off to bed. I am hoping that I can get some rest. I love you and miss you.

PS I hope that you are having a great time with your parents!!!

Snowzilla.

Autumn and I began the day shoveling the driveway. That is much more work than it sounds like. I had to get us both suited up for the ten degree weather, put her in the backpack, then head on out. It took us about an hour to finish the driveway and when we came back in, poor little Autumn's face had frost nip on it. She has now had frost nip twice. Later today, we went to visit Snowzilla. Frosty the Snowzilla man is huge!!! The local government is trying to put a stop to Snowzilla citing a building code violation. Well, I say down with the man!!!! Keep Snowzilla up. He isn't hurting anything. Anyway, here is a photo of Autumn and me with Frosty the Snowzilla man. Here is a related article in the Anchorage Daily News.

Playing with fire.

I hear clank, clank, clank in the kitchen. This cannot be good, grab the camera first though- for proof. You never know what you might find. Uh huh! AUTUMN!! What mom? I wasn't doing anything! So I've moved the knives for now, but it is only temporary. They need to go in a locked cabinet. I took Autumn's step stool upstairs to our bathroom so she could brush her teeth. I think I'm going to head back to Target and buy another one. I'm lazy and do not want to drag one up/down the stairs. Autumn really enjoys brushing her teeth.... with MY toothbrush! Say AHHHHHHH- checking to make sure she did a good job. She is so funny. Autumn and I are going to head downtown after nap time to see about the ice sculptures and check out the Christmas lights. Remember that house in South Anchorage that does the Christmas lights to music over FM radio? This year is the last year, he is moving and his new neighborhood cannot support the traffic. He may set them up somewhere e...

The man in the box.

Not really, it is just Autumn but saying the little girl in the box doesn't sound as cool. Autumn got in the box and was popping out of it. Then she told me, "Mommy, go that way." I think Autumn is on the tail end of this "cold." She already seems to be feeling better. Her nose is drying up, so that is good. I gave both of the girls a bath tonight, then I even got one! Emelia did something today that shocked me..... She rolled over. Of course that happened the day after you leave. Something else that waited for you to leave..... a 4.9 earthquake. It was the first time I've actually felt one since we moved to Alaska. It was, to say the least, scary to me! It did sound like a train/car/plane hit the house. Autumn was in rare form today. She told me that: She was going to take a nap on the stairs. Just kidding!! Such a sweet girl. Tomorrow we go to the Buckner gym for the first time with Emelia. I'm feeling a little nervous about it, but I'm...
