Our weekend...

Sorry I haven't been on in a few days... How about a weekend report.... Friday, we went to get a tree after work... Found the perfect one and then discovered my daughter in the back seat playing with a few decorative stones... When asked where they came from, she said Wal-Mart. When asked how she got them at Wal-mart, it was discovered that she found them just laying there, so she decided they were hers for the taking. Oops... Time for a learning experience... So my wife called ahead and found which managers were working (it was her store where they came from), and we went up to Wal-Mart and had my daughter explain that she had taken them without paying- The manager we talked to was perfect... she explained that what she had done was stealing, was just forceful enough to get the tears flowing and scared my daughter enough that I don't think she'll ever even consider putting something in her pocket that isn't hers ever again. Then we went over to grandma's house so that she could appologize to her for stealing while she was with Grandma.... My mom mentioned that she was warm but I thought at the time it was just from her crying... Boy, was I wrong... Saturday morning lil-one woke up with a 103.5 fever... Motrin and Tylenol brought it down to normal by bedtime, but Sunday morning she was right back up to almost 103. Down by the evening but right back up yesterday morning. Took her to the doctor yesterday and found out she has a cold AND an ear infection. poor thing... I hate seeing her so miserable. I wish I could be sick for her... I hate it when I know she's miserable and there's really nothing you can do to make her feel better... You can give her the meds, get her stuff to do, bundle her up, give lots of hugs and all that, but you can't take the pain away and it sucks. This morning she went over to her Poopaw and Didi's house to spend the day so I could make it in to work... I hope she starts feeling better soon.... On another note.... I took Stormii to the doctor yesterday also and we got her test results... She has a 25cm mass of cysts in her abdomen that we need to call a surgeon about. She also has a 4.3cm thyroid nodule that we also need to find out about. Thankfully, none of it is cancerous! Praise God! We are actually very thankful for the results we got- We know there is stuff there that needs to be removed, but no cancer and nothing that looks really awful that will cause other problems! Yay! So.... There's the weekend... We did get our tree up and got all Christmasy and stuff too... Hope everybody is having a good week!
