Whew! Just turned in my 4th week page Sat. night for QOTC. I think I’m done now unless I make it into the finals. What a contest! I’ve made some pages that I really LOVE 
Let me tell ya though, this 4th entry better get like 1 million votes after all I went through to get it finished! lol Before I get off on a rant though here’s my week 3 page. If you like it you can vote for it by clicking the layout
Like I said it was really hard to get the next page finished! Our week last week was very busy with end of school stuff. DD had a play she was in called the Great Kapock Tree. A really cute little musical play about the rain forest DD was a bee! She was adorable if I do say so myself! lol 
She’s the shortest one in the photo. I haven’t had time to fix any of the pictures up yet or to really go through them…it was hard to take good ones from where we were sitting. Poor dd. She’s shy and almost started to cry when the play 1st started. She got going though and said her lines, sang her song and danced her dance though with not much enthusiasm! Can’t say as I blame her much! I was the same way up in front of people at her age
Fri. I went with dd to the Cincinnati Zoo. OMG…I am sooo not the type to chaperone field trips! I get lost in the Mall much less the zoo! I had 1 other little girl besides dd. Thankfully she was good. I dread to hear what she told her parents about the trip though! We “got lost”, sigh. I had wanted to follow around the teacher and we did for a little while. THEN we took a jungle trail, came out and noone from her class was there! They had given us a little map but it wasn’t much good. I found where we were on map but couldn’t seem to find anything else! We ended up walking around in circles. grr…Did manage to see quite a few animals but totally missed the zoo babies. I really wanted to see the baby rhino “Harry” but we couldn’t find him! For some reason time seemed to stand still and I couldn’t seem to remember where to go to get back to the buses. DD kept saying they were going to leave without us, she was truely worried! lol Truthfully so was I! I even called dh from my cell phone and complained! lol This will probably be the last class trip I go on! Just too stressful for me! That was Fri. all day.
Sat. comes. We had promised the kids, dd especially, that we would get a kitten. We had 2 cats that both disappeared and I really felt guilty. We had put them outside which worked out for over a year but 1 by 1 they disappeared and the kids LOVED them. Sigh. So we go to the animal shelter. As soon as we get there and walk in the door dd says she feels sick. I rush her outside and she throws up in their bushes. ugh. I had to go in and get paper towels from them to clean her up. Meanwhile dh already has the other 2 kids back looking at the kittens. Finally dh comes outside to check on us. Of course the other 2 kids are excited about the kittens so we ask dd if she’ll be OK. She says yes and comes in to look at the kittens. They had 2 little calico sisters, 8wks. old that were the most adorable things I’ve ever seen! We end up with both of them! Just what I need I know but they are sooooo cute 
As soon as we get home dd starts throwing up again. She spent the whole day vomiting. She must have gotten sick 12x or so. It was terrible. I felt soo sorry for her! She had just finished her antibiotic that very morning for a double ear infection and had just had a stomach virus not a month before and now here it was again! She’s little too. Very tiny at 6 1/2 yrs. old she only weighs about 38lbs. She can’t afford to lose any more. I kept her hydrated the best I could and inbetween tried to work on my 4th week QOTC page. Seems like every single time I do something like this, a contest that runs for a few weeks, something happens! It’s really, really hard for me to commit to these things but I”ll be darned if I was going to give up after doing 3weeks worth already!! So I finally get finished and had it sent by 11:50pm. They’re due at midnight Just made it!
DD managed to not vomit any yesterday but she spent the day laying and sleeping. If you know her at all you’d know this isn’t normal. Even with ear infections or strep throat she’s up running around playing and what not. I knew she really felt BAD. Today she’s better but I kept her home from school just in case.
Oh and my good friend Carla surprised me big time!! Check this out!
Now 1st of all I have to apologize to Carla!! Blogger…sigh…for some reason will not let the comment box come up for me today to leave any comments!! It just keeps loading and loading and loading…. with no end in sight! I’m supposed to play this tag and I”m very flattered that Carla especially would think my blog is “thought provoking”! lol I will post again tomorrow or the next day and do my tag the right way! There’s lots of thought provoking blogs I visit so I’ve got to think a min. about it
So that’s it in a nutshell!! Happy Monday everyone…
