Almost Turkey Time!

Awesome, you came back!! Thanks for visiting!

Wow! It’s been awhile. When I picked ‘Runaway October’ as my blog name I wasn’t kidding. Things just pick up and move so fast this time of year.

- Our normal computer is down for the count. I believe I need a new power supply for it, but funds are very limited. It’s much harder to blog when you don’t have your normal setup, with programs and FTPs and the like. Trust me.

- Rowan turned 1 year old last month. He has 8 teeth, and is definitely on the move. He still prefers to crawl, but he’s got it down and I bet he stops crawling entirely soon. He just walked all the way across the bedroom, as a matter of fact. He seems to walk better holding something in one hand, like it gives him a mission.

- A fellow bloggy friend just had a very large benign brain tumor successfully removed. Be sure and visit her and send her well wishes.

- My Christmas crafting is not going as well as planned. I get so stuck when trying to think of gifts for everyone. Then I start worrying about making everything perfect. Then I worry that the gift will not be liked and I’ll find it a Goodwill in a couple of months, etc etc. I’m also finding that handmade does not mean cheaper. 

- We are all getting over a double round of the stomach bug. It’s so hard to watch kids be sick, and pukey sick is even worse. I guess you never really think about learning to puke, but it’s so obvious when someone doesn’t know how. Declan is a very loud and violent puker.

- Speaking of Declan, we took him to the doctor to have a wheezy cough looked at.  It turns out it was asthma. He’s currently taking Orapred and thrice daily breathing treatments of Xopenex. He’s doing much better. Thankfully he’s not on a full time regiment of meds. The Xopenex is $45 a week alone after insurance!

- I’m woefully behind on my Sunday Stash. I don’t know if I’ll get caught up, but hopefully I’ll stay on top of things.

That’s all for now my pretties. Hopefully I’ll be a little more regular on my posts. I try, I swear. A blog is a lot of work!

Keep us in your thoughts please.

Since Friday Declan has had what we thought was food poisoning. That in and of it self is just a nasty stressful time. I think I’ve scrubbed vomit/poop out of the carpet at least 6 times. Anyone who knows me well knows that I don’t do vomit. Period.

Unfortunately it seems that it’s not food poisoning because now the littlest guy is running a huge fever and had a blowout in bed last night – on my side. This is the baby that poops once every week to two weeks. Poor guy.  All he wants to do is sleep on me and all I want is to not have a personal heater while it’s 100 degrees outside. It’s got to be some kind of stomach bug.

Just think about us and hope we come through this soon.
