How does one get Cabin Fever in sunny Florida?? L had her second cochlear implant  on Friday 2\1. To try and keep her healthy prior to the big day, I kept her home for a week. Then we stayed home this week except for her therapy session. I was counting the hours until I could actually go somewhere, when....... cough, cough "Mommy, I don't feel good!" What?? No, one of my precious children can't possibly be ill!!! Poor little A was running a 101 degree temp last night and 100 degree temp this morning. Not only does she have a bad cold, but she also has an abscessed tooth  A spent the morning on the couch, while I spent the morning trying to corral L into the classroom. To make life a little easier, I gave in and we had a short school day! Thankfully, we had a refill left on an antibiotic prescription from the previous abscess.

I have to share a great story - we have been working hard with L on the concept of 1 & 2. While playing Candyland last week, I would say whatever card was drawn..... 1 green, 2 yellow, etc. It was L's turn and when she drew her card, she looked at it and said (YES!!!!! SHE SAID!!!) "who re" as she held up 2 fingers  She had a card with 2 red squares!! I about fell off of the chair! I gave her a high five and she gave me a big hug. The miracle of communication

I, like the majority of the population, made some New Year's Resolutions. Don't ask me why because I never keep them  

1.  Lose weight - well, haven't lost BUT haven't gained either!
2. Spend less time on the computer - that depends on what day of the week it is
3. Don't yell at the kids - hey, I do great on this when I'm home alone
4. Spend less money - this one I've kept so far. I'm not a coupon clipper, but have started and it is paying off. I started saving $15-$20 a week at the grocery store!! This past week, I set a record!! Drumroll please..........$41!!!!! Hubby was really excited about THAT shopping trip!
