Nyah
I think our house is cursed! We seem to have a string of accidents where people get pretty seriously injured here. My bunko friend Brenda runs into our glass front door and breaks her nose, Brandon falls and bashes his head into the counter ending up with a bunch of staples in his head. Just last weekend Sicily tripped on our sidewalk and bashed her knee up pretty well, has to get an MRI to see if she has a torn meniscus or ACL. Then today the girls were playing in their toy room, I was in the garage trying to fix the flat tires on Jasmine’s bike so we could go for a walk. Nyah opens the door screaming and crying I ask her whats wrong and look up to see blood all over her face, hands and shirt. I carry her into the kitchen trying to get her to calm down and tell me what happened so I can figure out where the blood is coming from. Finally amid a lot of crying I get that she fell on her face. I look at her lip which looks like she bit it but not a lot of blood is coming from there. So I get her mouth open and lift her upper lip to see a gash in her upper gums that is about 1/2 inch long. I call Sicily who calls her mom (an RN) who says she doesn’t think from the desrciption that she’d need stitches, whew! Finally after a dose of motrin and tylenol, and a gogurt Nyah calms down and I get her cleaned up. Then of course we had to go get slurpees to help with the swelling . . . and to make a very sad little girl happy. After all this I finally get the full story. They were playing in the toy room Nyah had her backpack leash on and Jasmine was holding on to it and let go so Nyah flew forward and slammed her face into the base of the little entertainment center cutting her gums and biting her lip pretty hard too. Poor girl! Sicily has very kindly offered to get some caution tape for our house but I think I’m going to start requiring everyone to wear full football gear, pads helmets and all while you’re at our house.

MelissaYa ya I know it’s been forever . . . but not a lot to blog about. Still not a lot to blog about. Jas is still doing ok. A few days before the appointment referred to in my last post Dr D’Astous’ assistant called and asked if Jas was having problems and if she wasn’t Dr D didn’t see a reason for her to come in so we cancelled that appointment. However since then Jasmine continues to say her back hurts almost every day, at first I was again thinking she was just playing too hard but since one of her hooks had slipped off last time I decided to make another appointment with the doctor to make sure that’s not the issue, so now she’s going back in on April 15. Hopefully it is that she is just playing too hard. Other then that she’s doing good. As always she’s one of the top in her class but she just can’t seem to keep her desk clean. So her teacher writes a note in her planner every day if Jasmine has kept her desk clean and she gets more computer time for that. This is kind of helping, about 75% of the time she keeps it clean. Hopefully it’ll just get to be habit so that this isn’t an on going problem. Jasmine’s birthday is coming up and for her birthday party we are going to the Desert Star to see American Fork Idol. If you’d like to join us let me know and I’ll get you the date and time we’ll be going. Adult tickets are around $11 and kids are about $9, then you can buy food too if you want. (we’ll be going to a matinee show) She’ll be turning 10 this year! Totally blows me away! She is also is asking for a Nintendo DS for her birthday (thank goodness for ebay where I can get one for close to half of what you’d pay in the store!) but the games run anywhere from $13 on up if anyone is looking for presents for her. Nyah as always is Nyah. Cute, sweet and smart most of the time but if she doesn’t like something or if it’s not working the way she wants watch out! She just might blow up! She’s recognizing about half a dozen sight words right now, and is very into having books read to her. She also loves to draw and anything to do with mermaids, drawing mermaids is even better. I have a vast collection of drawings of me as a mermaid. As me for I continue to clean house, make cables, and take care of kids. It’s a lot of repetative action. I have signed up to run the SLC 5k on April 18th, and been training for that also. I found a running stoller on craigslist for $20 and once it warms up a bit will have Jas ride her bike to school and run along with her. Mapmyrun.com says it’s almost a mile and a half to her school from our house so round trip it will be pretty close to running a 5k (3.1 miles appx) I guess that’s about it for now. Hope all is well with everyone else out in blogging land!
