Others writing The Sunday Somethings: Audrey

Something that made me smile this week: When I asked Maddie, “where is your belly?” and to my surprise, she lifted her shirt to show me.

Something I’m thinking: I’m thinking that I *really* need to figure out what we’re going to do while in Bermuda…only a few days left!

Something I am hoping: I’m hoping that we are all well before our cruise. Maddie had a fever of 102 this morning, so we took her to the doctor AGAIN. Her ear infection isn’t responding to the antibiotic, so we are switching to yet another antibiotic (third one in 2 weeks). Hope this one works. Gabe isn’t feeling well today either.

Something happening around the house: Our air conditioning hasn’t be functioning properly, but we think that we may have fixed it. We suspected that things weren’t quite right in the past week or so. Yesterday, it was really obvious as it was nearly 80 in the house. That motivated us to do some troubleshooting. Public service announcement for this week: change your filters regularly.

Something I’m reading: I finished Shopaholic & Baby, which concludes the Shopaholic series. I started reading Parenting, Inc. which is for the Mothers & More book club that I’ll be hosting in June.

Something tasty I ate this week: We tried Audrey’s Beef and Veggie Cheese Casserole recipe. I love adding new recipes to our repertoire.

Something Maddie did this week: Maddie gained a new pair of shoes that actually seem to fit both feet. We broke down and went to the Stride Rite store and bought a pricey pair of sneakers (well, you know, two pairs). They are adorable, at least. We have been really happy with the Stride Rite shoes we have bought in the past.

Something I struggled with this week: We struggled with Maddie’s allergic reaction to penicillin and the return of her ear infection which resulted in a very high fever. We feel like we’re always panicking about something around here.

Something I’m doing towards my goals: Suspended our Netflix account, so I crossed that one off the list! Talked with some National MS Society representatives about events that we would like to hold to raise more money for the cause. We’re planning a yard sale later this year and will be taking item donations from now until then! We are authorized to give receipts to be used for tax deductions.

Something I learned this week: Sauteed lettuce is a good way for us to use our lettuce from The Produce Box. We haven’t been excited about making salads, so we were collecting and excess of greens. The sauteed lettuce was not too shabby.

Something I’m looking forward to next week: BERMUDA!

Something random: When trying to determine whether the hives were bothering Maddie this week, I noticed that 90% of her shirts have a tiny little bow on the collar. She kept messing with these bows which kept making me think that she was trying to itch her hives.

Something I captured: I could have posted one of the photos from Maddie’s hives, but since I already posted those, here’s one of the two of us at daycare’s Mother’s Day tea on Friday.
