Lily's expensive Dora 4 wheeler-our gift to her, that she's too afarid to ride.
The end of the semester- and cheers for 3 As and a B+!! My best grades ever.
Dinner with friends--I'd forgotten how much I love you all and how much I missed you!
Starbucks giftcards. Delicious!
A trip to Florida-Marco Island to be exact. A week of fun in the sun, relaxation, and away from everything that clouds our minds every day.
Family--immediate and extended.
A week or so off from work-and great managers who agree to give me the needed time off.
New relationships--or more likely, the friends in our lives who have them. That happy "lovey-dovey" stage, as Shane and I try to remember what it's like to flirt. If offering to hold Lily's diaper bag a new pick up technique?
Douglasville's attempt at a "Pigeon Forge Christmas"--complete with the gaudy light shows and the blaring of Christmas music from someone's back porch at midnight.
Lily's new books-it's not even 10 am, and I have memorized "Puss and Boots."
Shane, Lily, and I leave for Marco Island on Saturday, and we'll return next friday! Merry Christmas everyone!!

Lily-isms
In a dull and boring week...filled with exams and deadlines, I decided to make a list of the top ten things that Lily does that makes me happy.
10. When she shrugs her shoulders and says "It's just TOO big!" to any outfit that I put out for her to wear. Mildly frusturating, but pretty darn funny.
9. When we're in the car and she sounds like Shane, saying, "Whoooa! Slow down, please."
8. When she talks on the phone and no matter what she's doing, tells people she's eating pizza, even at 7 30 in the morning.
7. How she loves watching Nemo on Andrew's Ipod
6. Whenever I ask her where something is she always says, I dunno! And then runs and finds it.
5. Her love for the Merry Go Round at Walmart. 50 cents really does bring this child JOY!!
4. How she always wants to give Cricket a treat.
3. Whenever she sees the spot where she drew lipstick on the carpet, she tells me that Daddy did it.
2. How she calls my mom "Mom."
1. And number one? Whenever I get home she always shouts, MOMMY! I missed you too!!

Who am I?
I've been dropped into a travel mug filled with steaming hot coffee. Twice.
I've been drenched by a spilled bottle of Coke in a locker at Wesleyan school.
I've been flushed down the toilet by a two year old. Later, her father had to pull up the entire toilet just to fish me out.
I've been dropped into a toilet at Georgia State University's General Classroooms Building. Luckily, my owner reached all the way in to pull me out.
I've been left behind in History class, only to show up at GSU's Lost and Found.

A vague entry.
The tree is decorated and lit.
The lights are adorning the front porch.
The wreaths are in place.
And Lily is forwarned about the naughty children who don't get any presents.
The season is here!
Thanksgiving break was absolutely awesome and just what I needed.
Right now, I just want to be with people I love and have things be like they used to, but I can't seem to achieve that. Sometimes things change and it really really sucks. But what can you do?

Again...?
I just realized I've been posting alot of days in a row. I never do that. Funny.
No RSV for Lily, luckily. Just another everyday, nasty cold.
Tomorrow my dad drives my brother home! It will be great to see him.
That's about it...I basically just wanted to say that Lily was fine, and that I hope everyone has a great weekend!

RSV?
My babysitter won't keep Lily today.
Her granddaughter, who stays over as well, is in the hospital with complications from RSV (namely, dehydration).
My sitter says I have to see if Lily has RSV before she can come back.
I'm taking Lily to her doctor at 12 to see if she also has RSV. If she does, there's no medicine she can take, as it is a virus, but she does have to avoid other children 2 and under for 4-8 days. Luckily, next week is Thanksgiving break.
Here's what WEB MD has to say about RSV:
What is respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)?
The respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes an illness that usually resembles a moderate to severe cold and is very contagious. RSV most often resolves on its own and does not cause major health concerns. This infection can become a problem when it is severe or leads to complications. Babies (especially those born prematurely), people with immune system problems, people with heart or lung problems, and older adults have an increased risk of developing complications from RSV infection.
Outbreaks of RSV infection generally occur at regular and predictable times each year, although they vary in severity. The number of infections usually peaks in the late fall, winter, and early spring in the United States and Europe. In tropical climates, epidemics occur during the rainy season.
What causes infection with RSV?RSV infection is caused by a virus that attacks the respiratory tract—the nose, eyes, throat, and lungs. Infection spreads from person to person through everyday contact. The virus is most often spread by sharing food or drink with an infected person or by getting droplets containing the virus on your hands and then touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. The incubation period—the time from exposure to RSV until you develop symptoms—ranges from 2 to 8 days, but usually is 4 to 6 days.
There are two types of RSV, as well as multiple subtypes (strains). Therefore, the body does not develop complete immunity to the virus, and infection can occur repeatedly throughout life, sometimes even during the same season.
