Wednesday Wool Gathering

I know I've been absent on the blogging scene as far as posting this week, but I have been trying to read and comment as I had time.

Miss Emmy was here both Monday and Tuesday, and Monday she just didn't feel herself. She wasn't really sick or just terribly fussy, but any Mama, Grandma or other regular babysitter knows when her baby just isn't quite up to snuff as we like to say here in the South.

Emmy felt much better on Tuesday and Sue, Cecil, Lamar and I had a good time with her. Lamar even took Emmy for her first stroller ride around the block and Sue walked with them. Other than the sun being a little too bright for her at times, Emmy loved the ride and being outdoors. And yes, I did have the canopy pulled all the way forward so she was shaded from the sun.Our weather has been much more Fall-like for the last week or so. We've gotten a lot of rain and it's been much cooler, both day and night. Today's high was 84F with beautiful sunny blue skies and only a few wispy puffy clouds, and the low is supposed to dip into the 50's. Slowly but surely, Fall is pushing Summer aside in favor of crisp cool nights and mild magical days.I didn't have Emmy today. Jessica had taken the day off from work because Emmy had an appointment to get her next scheduled immunizations today, but the clinic called and canceled and rescheduled her appointment. Besides the fact that Jessica just wanted a day off from work, by the time she takes Emmy to the doctor and waits with her to see the doctor and get the shots, a morning or afternoon is shot anyway.

And this time her appointment was at 11 am, so that pretty much takes care of a whole day. By the time she got out of the doctor's office and brought Emmy to me it would probably be 2-3 pm, and she gets off work at 5 pm. Not even worth the gas and the time and effort, really.

Emmy's shots were rescheduled for Monday, so Jessica is going to take Emmy to work with her, take her for her shots and then back to work with her. If Emmy gets too fussy Jessica will just take her home for the day. She was a little puny after her first shots, so I'm hoping she won't react as badly this time, bless her little heart. I'm also hoping if she gets the rotavirus serum this time that she doesn't have a bad reaction to it. For "bad reaction" read screaming diarrhea. Yeah......wheeeeee!In other news, even though Miss Emmy wasn't here today, my day has been plenty busy in other ways. My hubby, Lamar, had to have 2 impacted teeth cut out today. It was a lower wisdom tooth and the molar next to it, and they were in bad shape. The wisdom tooth was angled and forcing the molar into the next molar, which eventually broke off and somehow made Lamar severely bite his tongue. His tongue abscessed and was constantly being irritated by his chewing and the broken tooth. Not a fun time for him, and not a good time to be around him, bless him.

All that was compounded by the fact that due to his cerebral palsy Lamar is paralyzed on his left side and didn't know when the tooth broke off. He doesn't have much feeling on that side and it has to really hurt before he can even feel the pain. Anyway, with those 2 teeth out he should be feeling better in a few days, although he has to eat soft foods for several days.My sweet friend ANGELA @ THE LIFE AND TIMES OF GRAN recently awarded me the "You Make Me Smile Award". As far as I know there aren't any rules with this one, it's just a fun thing and can be freely given however you choose to do it.

So, I hereby award the "You Make Me Smile Award" to all my readers and all the bloggers I visit. After all, I wouldn't read your blogs if you didn't make me smile, and I love every comment and commenter for taking the time to share a little love. Feel free to take the button and share the love with someone who makes you smile.

You all make me smile, and Thank You to all of you for that! :-)Miss Emmy will be here bright and early in the morning, so I'm going to wrap this up and try to visit some of you before I have to get ready for bed.

Y'all have a terrific Thursday!
