this and that

brenden was pretty sick last week with a bad cold. we kept him home on monday, because he had a low fever on sunday, then he began to feel better. thursday, the school called & said he didn't have fever, but just wasn't himself. we went to pick him up early and poor thing, he looked awful! shortly after we got home his fever was almost 102! he fell asleep on our bed, would wake up to cry & fall back to sleep. all i could do was just lay there & cry with him. he got to stay home again on friday though, and him & daddy had a good day together! he's all better now :)

last year around this time, i wrote a blog about peetie & booty call (two little birds that made a nest in our christmas garland, so we had to leave it up until like april)! well...peetie is back with a new lady :) her name is tweetie. she is just a pretty gray, no red. they decided to make a nest in the wreath on our front door. our door has a arch of glass at the top, so we get to see the nest and watch them from inside our house. it's pretty neat! yesterday, she stayed in the nest all day! babies?? we will see...

daniel will be taking the engineer test next wednesday (april fool's day-who decided on that?!?) to hopefully promote to engineer! he has been studying for the past three long months for this. a couple hundred firefighters take the test, but they only take as many holes as they have open-i think it may be like 17 right now. and the guys that have been on the dept longer than him, get extra points, so he feels like it's a long shot, but i know he can do it. God's will we know, but man, it sure would be an amazing blessing! so, send up an extra prayer for him, if you have a chance :)

oh, we got family of the month at brenden's school for march! i wanted to ask if that means we don't have to pay tuition for this month, but i figured the answer would be no, so i didn't waste that oxygen. they wrote a little thing about our family & we got to bring in a few pics to put up on the board at the entrance.

stars are not doing well at all right now. that's all i have to say about them.

i could probably go on & on for a while. but it's all really just mumbo jumbo. just sitting here at work, waiting for the rain to come :) have a nice wednesday!
