Well the little girl is in the midst of her cold...she just seems to have the stuffy nose now...hopefully it's almost over! However I think she may have shared :( I have been sneezing away today...and that's how it always starts!
Our Wednesday night excitement...the smoke detectors chirped at 12:30am...only once and then it stopped. It of course woke me up...thankfully not Ella! About 30 minutes later...chirps again...grrr...I drag Josh out of bed to do "something" to make it stop...I have never changed a battery in them so I didn't know what to do...we have 3 of them right in a row...1 in the office, 1 in Ella's room, and 1 in the hallway between the 2 rooms...I couldn't tell which one it was...so he changed the battery in the hall and Ella's room. No more chirps :) Well that is until 6:45am...it chirps once and that was it. Then a few minutes after 8 - I hear my mom pulling in the driveway (she came to watch Ella on Thursday) - as she is pulling in - the alarm starts to go off!! Not just the chirp...but the LOUD alarm...the dogs go ballastic...so I run to the door to open it so they can run outside as I'm sure it was hurting their ears. Ella is looking around with huge eyes like what?? I run into the kitchen and grab a chair so I can reach the detectors...and then it stops...again I don't know which one it was...so I take the battery out of the one in the hall. Well that just makes it chirp every 2 minutes...that's not going to work...I put the battery back in and nothing...(now I'm late for work!) Sorry mom....I tell her that if it goes off again...call the Fire Department...I don't know what to do! :) Thankfully it didn't go off for her...it did however go off again at 8:00pm last night...Josh ran and yanked both of them and completely unplugged it from the ceiling...hope we don't have a fire! :) Although there are more in the house that are working...but I guess getting new batteries will be on the agenda this weekend. The alarm was so loud it gave both Josh and I a horrible headache...I went to bed with my head having a dull ache...and I had to get up in the middle of the night and take motrin because I woke up with a really bad headache. My stumbling around while half asleep woke Ella up :( So I got her up and gave her a little bottle...her vaporizor had turned off - so I refilled it and set it back up as well as the poor thing was really stuffy.
Today Ella and I got up and went to a little meeting at my work. Ella got passed around and got lots of love :) We came home and we had the best time...we laid on my bed and read lots of books...and then I was showing her videos on my cell phone...it was so funny...I wish I could have recorded it...she was holding 1 side of my phone, and I was holding the other...and I have I think it was 5 videos on my phone of Ella...so I played the videos...and they are of her laughing and "talking" - she watched with great interest...and would look at me and smile...and then she would look back at the phone and I would replay the video and everytime she was laughing in the video she would turn to look at me and just laugh away! She loved hearing herself laugh!
Winter Woes - it feels like winter is here! It was in the 70s yesterday...and the temperature is reading 40 degrees right now...eeewwww!! And I kid you not...I saw just a few white things land on my deck...now they did melt immediately...but I was not happy about it! I hate being cold!
I'm not sure what is on the agenda for this weekend...I think laying low...let Ella get back to feeling normal...and I have a feeling I will be battling my own cold :( Guess we'll stay away from Josh and hope he doesn't get it!
