Birthday Parties

Wow, it has been a few days since my last blog... Things just get hectic at times. But things are overall great! Karissa has now turned 6 years old. And we had the big party at Fun Expidetion for her and her family and friends. It was great. Loved the place, loved the games, loved not having to clean up the party! I will post some pics of the party so look for those.
(Melissa, I didn't get the comment you left me on here.)

Dreams and coughing...

"Nuthing" much new on the Mulkey page.. We are all still trying to get over our sickness. Some of us faster than others and some of us happier about it than others...
Tyler is being checked for Mumps since waking up to a swollen face and neck two days ago... But they don't think that is what it is... But are scratching their heads as to what it is...
Anyways, So I am back at work, still have the cough and the congestion. But I will get over it. No use in whinning about it.
My Karissa has been having bad dreams and it is always about a wolf or a coyote... This is the second time she has had one recently and I have told her that we are going to have to limit the amount of Narnia movie that she watches, especially before bed time. She of course didn't like the sound of that. But that is my gut instinct, she loves and I mean LOVES that movie... (Both of them... Part 1 and part 2)... I told her that its just a dream and that the wolves aren't really going to get her and that God and his angels are always watching her and protecting her and that is why he gave her a mommy and daddy, so we could help watch her too. So, for now we are going to stick to my plan and see how it goes.

There are seriously some things not worth doing over again. And Strep is one of them!! I had it 3 weeks ago, and now I am down with it again. Except this time I feel like I have Bronchitis on top of the strep. Oh well, life goes on... Wasn't there a song like that? Jack and Diane?? Yeah, I know so, I just can't think of who sings it... Oh but the internet... LOL... .. it is John Cougar Mellencamp; and here is a link if you want to watch the video... I know Melissa my sister will probably want to watch it.. LOL..

Thats all the bloggin from the noggin, I've got for now... Have fun watching the video Melisssa

Well, today I went to work for just a little while. I came home around 1:30 because Karissa was feeling so badly. Her fever was up and I got a bit of motrin in her and in no time she was playing and laughing again.

She is so funny...She has been telling me all day "Mommy I really love you!" and I tell her I really love her too and she said a few minutes ago, that she loved me and I said I love you too, and her reply was "But, I loved you the first day I was born".....

SO DARN SWEET!!! Makes a hectic day seem so worth it!!!

Thank God for my (sometimes) sweet kids!

This is a random pic of Justin.. didn't want him to feel left out.. LOL

Just a few pics from the doctors office...

Sick Day:

Sick Day:

Most of today was spent at the doctors office with two of our kids. (Tyler and Karissa)
The office was FULL of sick people.. In every seat, and even in the floor!!! Coughing, sneezing, hacking, Yuck, Yuck, Yuck, in every direction. If you weren't seriously sick when getting there, you were bound to be by the time you left! We got there at 11:20 and didn't get out of there until 2:45!

So, I have one with Strep Throat (Karissa) and one with walking Pneumonia, and another viral throat thing that I can't pronounce... Plus the doctor said he really thinks he (Tyler) has strep too, but the swab test missed it, so they did a better swab and are sending it to be tested and will call with the results. Tyler and I had just gotten over strep throat (about 2 weeks ago for Tyler and 3 for me.) And I sure don't want it again!!!

So, we loaded up on Popsicles, Ice Cream, and Soup... And the doctor says No Sugar for either one of them for 3 days, to help them get better quicker! Have you ever heard of such a thing? I said, I have a 5 year old with strep and no Popsicles for her, and he said no!!! In my head I was just howling, because he can't tell me that I can't give her something that would make her throat feel better! He is just one of those old time doctors that have wierd ideas about things...

So, simply put, I am taking care of the sick today, which is really wearing me down since I was up all night last night with Karissa crying with her throat. Hopefully I will get to go to bed very soon.

I will try to upload pics of Tyler and Karissa at the doctors office.. He was being his silly old self even though he feels terrible and she slept the whole visit, on her Daddy's lap. (so sweet)

More, and hopefully happier blogs later....

Check out the picture of Cherry Blossoms I found! It is so beautiful!!!

My girl!!

Today has been a good day. I got to pick up Karissa at school at 12 today because it is Friday and Kindergarden don't go all day on Friday's. So, we spent some time together before I had to come to work. Which is nice, becuse I don't see much of her on Thursday's because I work evenings these two days a week.

So, we spent some time on the Cricut machine playing around, and she went outside to play in the mud! By the time I cleaned her up, it was time to go to work. So I look forward to going home tonight, because she will still be up waiting on me.

Oh, I have to write about last night. It was about 2 a.m. when she came to our bedroom very upset about a dream she had about Justin and Tyler and Mean Animals that were trying to get her. I asked her what Justin and Tyler was doing in the dream and she said nothing that they were her pets.. (that part was funny) so I spent the night in bed with her while she held on to my hand and would not let go the rest of the night. (I didn't mind that part at all)

Nothing New....

I am just getting the hang of this thing still yet and already love it. It may not be a place where I have a ton of friends on here, but it is a place where I can jot down my thoughts, wishes, and things that happen that I might want to remember and share with you.

By The Way... You will probably catch on, but I LOVE Cherry Blossoms! They are the prettiest trees/flowers ever! And you will probably see plenty of them on here..

So, as I get ready to leave work tonight and end my computer time, I wish everyone in BloggerSpace a goodnight.

First Blog...

This is a blog that we thought we would try... We will post pictures very soon and get this thing up and running... It is good to be a blogger!! LOL
