OK, so I am surprised that I had a sinus infection and Strep...no nose issues and no sore throat. BUT, I got some antibiotics and STEROIDS! Man, I have been a busy bee this weekend and feeling GREAT! Those steroids rock my world!
A few things we got done:
1. Cleaned out the attic. This is my space...it is a walk in from the upstairs guest room closet and I have it in perfect order.
2. We have had boxes of Ryan's old football and baseball memories that were OUT.OF.CONTROL. Nana kept EVERY newspaper article that even mentioned Ryan's name and it was 3 binders full. AND they were all stuck to those old photo pages that are sticky. I had him go through them and narrow down the ones he wanted to keep. We had to narrow it down because the binders were dying and the pages were all falling out. I put them in new slip covers and they are off the old dying sticky paper.
3. We put up 2 book cases on either side of the TV cabinet that Ryan got for free from his office moving. I loaded them up with things that we have not had a place for since moving in.
4. BOOK.AUDIT. I am crazy when it comes to buying books for Hagen. The $1 section at Target is the worst. I walk out with no less than 2 books every time I go. So I put some of the ones that he is tired of and put them in the attic for the next little Darney.
5. Hagen and I made pizza for dinner tonight. He did really well besides the handfuls of cheese he was stuffing in his mouth. He would take a huge handful and eat some and then sprinkle the rest on his pizza. Kinda like Uncle Eddie tasting the potatoes before putting a big glob on his place. He is going to be backed up for weeks!
6. Hagen's summer wardrobe is now secure in a big airtight zip lock bag and in the attic.
7. Cleaned the entire house
8. Found a boatload of picture frames in the attic and put pictures in them and they are finally in the house.
9. Bought 2 Christmas trees! One that is going to replace our main one that is dying and then one that is a skinny tree for our family room. I want to find a black bear stuffed animal to put in it...so cute!
10. Grocery shopping for the week.
11. Got some work done...lined up two interviews for Monday (I'm a recruiter...I'm not interviewing for a job)
12. Hagen was only in time out 1 time...really he should have just set up camp there on Saturday...he was a bit rowdy!
All in all a great weekend! Ryan and I are sitting here watching the Cowboys and are going to sleep in the same room tonight for the first time in a couple of weeks. We are both trading off having coughing fits so not sure how long it is going to last!!
Tata for now,
Carrie

The Darney's are plagued!
So Ryan is finally feeling better from his bout of Pneumonia. Hagen is on his 2nd week of antibiotics for his sinus infection. NOW I have a Sinus Infection AND Strep. I have been coughing all week and just not feeling right. I went in today to get checked for bronchitis and instead I have Strep and Sinus Infection. I don't get it?
My throat is not sore, I have no stuffy nose or anything...just a cough. SO, I am now starting my round of antibiotics and some WONDERFUL cough medicine for night time. I got a steroid shot in my hip...had to lay down on the table and it was in my WAY upper thigh hip area. Hurt like a son of a gun.
The house is doomed...germy...I smell kitty box...let's just hope that Dapper stays well. On the good hand, Ryan cleaned up after dinner and did a fine job. I'm just not sure he is going to let me do absolutely nothing since I am not ACTING sick...I just ate a gigantic bowl of cookies and cream...
Here's to a healthy weekend for the rest of you...Poor Hagen is going to miss a party at the airport museum tomorrow...he doesn't know about it yet, so that's good. Gattitown may be on the agenda for Sunday for sure...Mama wants some BBQ chicken pizza and frozen coke!
Love,
Carrie

Hagen has an attitude
Hagen, Hagen, Hagen...you just about did your Daddy and I in last night!
I get you from school and am pulled to the side by your teacher. She is going on and on about how well behaved you are! You listen, follow directions, share with your friends, and are just a good boy. I asked her if she was hyping it up a bit and she said no...he is one of the more behaved kids in the class! AND you are taking 2 hour naps now. Your Daddy and I are so proud of you for being such a good boy at school!! Great job!
NOW...what is up with your attitude at home? Let's just get a few things straight right now:
1. A pop cycle or Lolly pop is not an appropriate appetiser...raisins are OK...but that's all
2. You can not wear your pee pee filled diaper and PJ's to school. I know it is cold and you don't want to separate from that warm urine soaked diaper, but you have to...it's nasty.
3. You are more than welcome to help Mama pick out your clothes in the morning, but you can pick out pants OR a shirt...not both...you are not able to match yet and your clothes this fall are DARLING, but only when mama Matches them up.
4. Licking your plate is not acceptable. Mama had to drop this habit when you joined the family and doesn't do it so you can't either...it's just not fair
5. If you poop before bath time, you can have ONE gummy frog and not a huge piece of candy...do not proceed to hyperventilate crying to the point that your Daddy needs backup and I have to finish nighttime ritual. You interrupted Mama's crossword puzzle that I was actually going to get all the way through.
6. Yes, we blow dry your hair every night. Your hair is unruly and it is worse if you go to bed with wet hair...get over it
7. you have a few choices for breakfast: Pancakes, granola bar, nutrigrain bites, muffins, fruit loops, or raisins. Pick one (or two)...that's your choice...you have the same choices everyday...why does it take you 10 minutes to pick it out?!
8. Dapper is as tall as you. Soon you will be able to push him out of the way. He will not eat you...he will not even bite you. No need to throw yourself on the garage floor and not come in the house because he is inside...he is always inside...you need to get over yourself
9. Please stay out of Mama's purse. My Dr. Pepper Chap stick is not a treat...I'm sure it can't be good for you when you bite it and eat it. My gum is also off limits. When you put 5 pieces in your mouth at once and chocked, I thought you got the hint. Just staying out of my purse will help us insure that you stick around for awhile which we hope you do!
10. There are other colors that are just as pretty as Pink. Your father is trying hard to accept the fact that you like it, but let's venture out a bit...For your Daddy's sanity
11. Mama's iPod is off limits. I don't think that some of the music is appropriate unless you are 25 and older...Mama likes her rap music...and it is not appropriate.
I'm so proud of you for being such a good boy at school. Let's try to keep that behavior well into the night, K?
Love,
Mama

Halloween - a look back
I got inspired after reading some other blogs to post pictures of Hagen - Halloween Past!
This is our first Halloween...Hagen is 5 months old...and he was dressed as scary PJ boy! Yes, boring, but it was cold out and he wasn't going out in it! Aww...look at cute fuzz head!
This is last year. He was a zebra! He wasn't sure about it but warmed up to the idea.
Here is this year. Hagen was a fireman and was in love with his costume. It is now hidden waiting for a washing...or else he would be wearing it right now!!
Man, where does the time go?!

Man, where does the time go?!Halloween weekend!
What a fun weekend! Hagen "Got" Halloween this year and had a great time! On Saturday we carved our pumpkin. Ryan participated by pulling out the guts and then I carved the face. It turned out pretty cute by the way!
That night we got Hagen all dressed up in his Fireman suit and set the timer for 7:00...when the buzzer went off the boys headed out the door to trick or treat! I stayed back to pass out the candy.
Hagen was so excited! UNTIL that ONE house...the one with the man dressed in a wolf mask. Hagen just stared at him with his treat bag open. Ryan said he didn't act scared. But then they went to the next house and rang the bell...before the door was even opened, Hagen dropped his bag and said Daddy I wanna go home, and ran! Poor baby was scared of wolf man!
He was on his sugar high crack cocaine energy before bed and slept really good!
Now Ryan...he is not doing good. The only things he did this weekend besides resting was pull out pumpkin guts and take Hagen trick or treating. He is just not right...I feel bad for him...if he is not better tomorrow I am making him go back to the doctor. He is actually taking a 1/2 day today which is SO not like him. I mean, after he was diagnosed with pneumonia, he left and went back to work working outside the remainder of the day. I just hope he takes it seriously and doesn't end up in the hospital.
Hagen and I escaped yesterday afternoon to a party and then the mall. Mama needed some plug-in oil things from BBW and then a cute dress (or 2) from Nordstrom's. Then we topped the day off with a ride on the carousal!! He was so brave and excited. We had some nice Mama/Son moments.
With all that said, I want my hubby back! I feel worn out. My weekends are usually reserved for cleaning the house, shopping for the weekly food, etc. I am making Ryan rest and he is listening, but I miss him taking Hagen to Hope Depot or the park while I mop. I'm worn slick...and my hypochondriac self feels like I am getting sick...I sure hope not!
This week is supposed to be beautiful and I cant wait! I have PW Chicken Spaghetti all made and plan on making PW meatballs later this week...some good cooking going on in the Darney house!!
Happy November to all!!

Icky Sicky Darney Boys!
So, Ryan has been not feeling well for 2 weeks. It hasn't been much except for a terrible cough and just exhausted. He works in the environmental field and has been outside this week and will be for the next 2 weeks. I have taken up sleeping in the guestroom until he stops coughing/snoring...it is just a good thing for our marriage. The other night I went to bed and could NOT for the life of me fall asleep. Ryan kept snoring that sickly snore and when he wasn't, Hagen was wining on the monitor. Finally at 11:30 I turned on the lights, moved my nightstand, practically ripped the alarm clock out of the wall and marched my pissed off self to the guest room...
He is a manly man that will not go to the doctor. He finally caved in this morning and went and my man has pneumonia! Damn! Doctor said that it is a good thing he came in today because if he waited until Monday he would be in terrible shape.
So lots of warm liquids for Ryan. He got a shot in his butt and some pills and some awesome cough medicine.
Now Hagen...he has been coughing off and on for 1 month now. the past two days he has developed a snot nose like no other! He is so desperate to clear it up that he will let me put as much saline in there as I can get...poor baby. Last night was tough...I kept having to go in and rub his back and tell him he is OK...no sleep for Mama.
I let him sleep in this morning to hopefully make him feel well enough for his Halloween filled day at school. I woke up around 8:00 and he was just snoring away...Right.By.Me.Breathing his nasty germ filled breath on me. I slinked out of bed as slow and quietly as I could...which is hard in a therapeutic mattress. But, I made it to our bathroom and shut the doors and turned the shower on. right before I stepped in I see the door slowly open and "Linus" walking in dragging his blanket and squinting his eyes because it was bright tell me "I slept a long time! I want some sloop sloop's (fruit loops)".
Got all ready for work/school, checked his temp (98.0) and we were off!
I hope I don't get sick...we're all in for a terrible time if Mama gets sick...I have to alert the press!
XO,
Carrie
