Random Saturday Update

I haven't blogged in a few days because there really hasn't been much to say.


Ada woke up from her nap on Wednesday with a 101 degree fever, so we have stayed close to home all week, and it has been rather uneventful. Nothing ever came of the fever, so I am wondering if her molars are trying to come in. We'll see. She has been rather fussy.



The fever did make me a bit paranoid, though. With the flu and the swine flu and my pregnancy, I am a bit hyper sensitive to sickness these days and normally I am rather laid back when it comes to germs and things. However, Wednesday night when we put her to bed and her fever was still 101, I had to stop myself from going in to check on her every few minutes. At one point I even considered sleeping on the floor in her room, and then I began to reason with myself. She wasn't even acting sick. The only symptom of anything was her fever, and my mom mentioned that 101 isn't even that high for a child. So, that's what we have done all week.


As a result, we are both climbing the walls a bit, so Scott took Ada to the park this morning to let her run around, and I headed to Target to get a little alone time. This leads me to my next update.


Liz Lange shirts on clearance for 3.24!!!!!!!


I have been searching for some solid color t-shirts that can be dressed up or down. I needed something versatile that would work for both a tutoring job and a trip to the grocery store. I thought a couple solid color t-shirts would be just the thing. Think about it, a black shirt paired with jewelry and the right shoes can look rather dressy, but I can also put it with jeans and flip flops for everyday. You get the picture, right?


Well, Motherhood was charging 25.00 for a solid color T, and you can imagine the prices at Gap. I decided to head to Target today, just to see what I would find. And what do you know--3.24 on the clearance rack. I grabbed three. A black one, a white one, and a gray printed one. They are nice and long and stretchy, so I am hoping they will carry me through until the end when things get rather gigantic. And they are a nice crew neck. V-necks and scoop necks can be rather problematic in pregnancy, if you know what I mean;)


Yea for the Target clearance rack. It always come through for me!!


And finally, completely off the subject, but on my mind these days--Harry Potter.


Harry Potter has actually been really good for my marriage because Scott and I have been able to watch the movies together. We normally can't agree on a movie for the life of us, so we have had something fun to do together for the past few weekends.


Last night we watched the fourth movie. That is the last book I read because my tutoring student doesn't have the fifth one. I am thinking an Amazon order is going to have to happen.


Anyway, the movies are starting to drive me a bit nuts. They are so vastly different from the books, and I sit and fidget and get annoyed every time something is left out or changed. Scott says they are two different mediums and that I should view the movie as a completely separate thing from the book. Really? Is that possible? So, though I enjoy watching the movies, the differences are driving me crazy. Do any other Harry Potter fans have this problem? Advice for letting it go so that I can enjoy watching the movies without growing more and more irritated?


Also, they are definitely giving me nightmares. Last night I slept terribly as I dreamed all sorts of strange, Harry inspired dreams. Yikes. I am not sure of a solution to that problem.


So there's an update. That is what is happening in our world. Ada is now down for a nap, and we are about to settle in for an afternoon of football watching and house cleaning, though I am not sure how the two are going to work together. We'll see.


Happy Saturday!!
