It has defiantly been way too long since I’ve written. There’s no way I can possible tell you everything that’s happened over the last week. So, I’ll just hit the high points! Tuesday our floors were completed and I couldn’t be happier with them. At first I was a little unsure but once Josh got home on Wednesday and put all the furniture back in place and put the trim back up I felt at home. We still have to repaint the trim but other than that we have completed this task.
Friday night we went to Grayson County to Walmart to pick-up the food for the cook-out. While we were there we ate at BB’s, an Italian Resturant. Then we went by Mark and Missy Gary’s house to visit but, Missy and Hunter were in Bowling Green doing some school shopping and Mark and Talon were at football practice. So, we decided just to take Tinslea to the park. She had a BLAST, she swung for a while and played on the slides. Their parks are so much nicer than the one in Morgantown. It’s a shame the one here isn’t taken care of.
Yesterday we spent the day getting ready for DD and Jeremy’s cook-out. Mom came over and helped me clean – Let me restate that, she cleaned…that’s what Mom’s are for. I tell her and Grandma it’s their fault…they never showed me how HAHA. At about 5:00 pm everyone began getting here. Josh grilled the hamburgers and hotdogs while the rest of us enjoyed ourselves  Once we ate the guys played cornhole until it was dark while us girls spent our time talking – what we do best! About 9:30 DD, Rachael, and Heather we to Bowling Green and Jeremy, Josh (Bridgette’s husband) and Keith went to a cabin in Logansport. The rest of us, Josh, myself, Deana, Brandon, Blake, Alicia and Eric stayed here at the house and “hung-out”. It was about 10:00pm I went to Tinslea’s room (she was asleep) to check on her because she had been running a fever all day. I ended up waking her up because she was burning up!! I took her into the kitchen where everyone was and she was RED and shaking! Josh put her on the changing table to change her diaper and take her temp. WELL…her temp was 104.5 WOW!! I was about to FREAK OUT!! If there is anything that scares me it’s her running a temp. and she has NEVER had one that high. I called Jessi to soothe my mind to make sure I was doing the right thing. We gave her more Tylenol, took all her clothes off and put a “be cool” patch on her back. We let her stay up and play until about 12:00 am. Everyone ended up leaving the house at I think 10:30 pm. Josh and I were up all night checking on her.
This morning she still didn’t feel good. We stayed home from church b/c we were exhausted. We went down to Mom’s so she could watch her while we rested a bit. At lunch we ate at Grandma’s then Tinslea and the boys played in the pool. After they got out of the pool they RAN around the house screaming and singing, what the 3 of them do best. You know, if there’s one things I’m thankful for it’s family. I’m so glad Tinslea has cousins she will grow up around and be close to.
Tinslea is doing a little better, but still has a fever. I really want to think it’s her teeth. I can tell both her “I” teeth on the bottom are about to come in. On the other hand, she does have a slight croopy cough and Deana said that a lady Jill works with, her son had been sick with a fever and the Dr. said that he had a virus(which only causes a fever for a few days) . Who know, hopefully we’ll have a better night tonight.
