Steven Sick

Steven is still really sick, he can't keep anything down. We spent today at the hospital getting fluids in him. He did good there, but started throw up again on the why home. The doctors said this flu could last up to 7 days. We are on day 4. Please say a prayer for my little guy.

When it rains it Pours

Since last Wednesday night, we have had two sick kids. Stephanie started out with a really bad sinus infection and then Wednesday night she got the stomach flu. We were hoping it was from all the drainage, but then Saturday evening Steven got sick throwing up. He has been throwing up every since. I took him today to the doctor, because we couldn't get him to stop. We had to cancel their birthday party on Sunday, we are going to try again this Sunday. I just hope he is feeling better, so he can go trick n treat tomorrow night.

Stephanie Sick

Early this morning Stephanie woke me up with a big surprise. Mommy, I am not feeling good, next thing I know I am being throw up on... I got up cleaned everyone up, and spent the rest of the night holding her little head over a bucket. She finally stop around 7:00 am this morning. Tonight she seems a little better, but she has a cough, running nose and running a fever. I guess I will be visiting the doctor tomorrow.

I just hope she is better for Saturday night Trunk n Treat, and Sunday for hers and Steven birthday party.


Please say a little prayer for Stephanie.

Thanks

STEVEN BIRTHDAY

Steven woke up early yesterday, wanting to know if it was his birthday. We said yes, he asks if school was open now. He was up and got ready without any delay.

He walked into school with his head up high letting everyone know, it was his birthday. Ms. Trull made it really special for him, he was the line leader, picked the prayer of the day, and wore a birthday crown. We took in cupcakes, crackers, and yahoo drinks for his party. Julian, one of his friends cut out a picture out of a book from home and gave it to him. Steven thought that was the biggest gift ever. His partner gave him two motorcycles, stickers, and a Spiderman night light. Plus his class gave him a book.

When I got off work, we took him to Golden Coral to eat. They sang happy birthday to him and brought him a cake with a candle. His face turned red as a beet. Last night was kid’s night so a clown was there making animal balloons, hats, and doing magic tricks. When we got back to the car, he had a scooter waiting on him.


All and all I think this was his best birthday ever.

STEVEN BIRTHDAY PARTY

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVEN

Happy 5th Birthday, Steven Eugene Moore Jr.!

We love you so much. You bring incredible joy to our lives. You’re sweet, carrying, funny, and a joy to be around. Daddy and I are so grateful for you.

When you were born, I was so scared, even though I had a little one already at home. I never wanted you out of my reach. There were some scaring times and rough bumps in the road, but we made it though them. I think God every day for given us a second chance.

As you grow, I continue to be amazed at the different thing you can do and your determination to try and do different thing. I love watching you ride your bike, play with your cars, help daddy work around the house, but most of all I love just looking at you every chance I get. As long as you are around you always bring a smile to our faces and make us laugh.

I love you Steven, and pray that you continue to grow up to be the caring and loving person you are. You are a very special boy, and I am proud to be your mommy.

QUAKES IN WINSTON SALEM NORTH CAROLINA

It has rained here all night and most of the day on Tuesday. In the middle of the night, there was a rumbling that made us wake up. We thought it was thunder, and went back to sleep. Found out in the morning it wasn't thunder we felt or heard it was a 2.6 earthquake! Then again last night we were watching TV and again we heard a loud noise and felt a shake. I thought someone was trying to break into the house. Then we saw on the news that we had another 2.4 earthquake. It was a weird day all around.

OUCH......

Last night I was woken from a dead sleep, by my little girl biting me. She also was in a dead sleep.

I ask her this morning what did you dream about last night:

Her = Mom, I dreamed I was eating ham, but it didn't taste like ham. It was nasty.

Me = I guess not, it was mommy you were eating........

What does the color of your car say about your personality type?

According to some research conducted in Great Britain, the color of your car says something about your personality type. And accordingly, based on your personality type, your likeliness to be involved in an accident (in the U.K. at least). The research shows that black cars are twice as likely to be involved in crashes as cream-colored cars. Whether this is true in the United States is unclear.

Just for fun, here is what the research implied about certain car colors:

• Black cars denote an aggressive personality or someone who's an outsider or rebel.
• Silver cars indicate someone who's cool, calm and slightly aloof.
• Green cars can often be chosen by people with hysterical tendencies.
• Yellow cars signify someone who is idealistic and novelty loving.
• Blue cars are chosen by the more introspective, reflective and cautious driver.
• Gray cars represent those who are calm, sober and dedicated to their work.
• Red cars denote those who are full of zest, energy and drive, who think, move and talk quickly.
• Pink cars are chosen by gentle, loving and affectionate drivers.
• White cars represent status-seeking extrovert drivers.
• Cream cars are the least likely to be involved in accidents and denote self-contained and controlled owners.

MY LITTLE BOY IS GROWING UP

When Steven was a baby, Stephanie couldn't say brother; so she started calling him "BUBBIE". Everyone thought it was so cute and we all started calling him Bubbie also. Since he started school, and all his class mates are calling him Steven, he doesn't want us to call him "BUBBIE" anymore. Every time we say Bubbie, he will tell us HIS NAME IS STEVEN. Yesterday his grandma keep calling him Bubbie, Steven got so upset, he finally said in a firm voice, "I HAVE TOLD YOU ALL DAY, MY NAME IS STEVEN."

It makes me sad; he is no longer my baby. He is my soon to be 5 year old Big Boy.

A NORMAL DAY

The kids are out of school for three days for teacher conference. It felt really weird working normal hours. I went in at 6:00 am and got off at 4:30 pm. When the kids are in school, I usually work 8:30 am until 7:00 pm. It feels so good to come home; have time to play outside with the kids before dark, cook supper and get some clothes washed before midnight. I am going to enjoy the rest of the week.

MY LUCK.....

Last Thursday (Oct 5th), when we were dropping the kids off at their school; one of the parents back into us. The lady starting crying and didn't want to call anyone, but I told her we really need to, because my NEW VAN (4 mths old) has a dent and my side mirror is hanging by a wire. So she called the police and we exchanged insurance information.

Today, I found out she let her insurance lapse and she doesn't have any coverage at this time.

Now my car has over $1000.00 worth of damage and I will have to turn in on my insurance, unless she reinstates her insurance.

When I told Steve, he started laughing and said "we couldn't get one of the doctor or lawyers to hit us; we had to get the one that doesn't have any insurance or money."

We have to laugh to keep from crying.

If she would have told me she was having trouble, we could have worked something out, but she is avoiding me and doesn't want to talk with me.

CAROWINDS TRIP

Yesterday we spent the day at Carowinds, the weather was cloudy and cool, but over all it was a nice day. Just to see the kids face when we pulled into the parking lot was worth the whole trip down. Stephanie said, "my dream has came true".

We rode all the rides at Nickelodeon Central, Carolina Goldrusher, Carolina Skytower, Scooby-Doo's™ Haunted Mansion. Steve and Stephanie rode the Ricochet by themselve. We couldn't believe we got Steven on two roller coaster. He did really good, NO TEARS. Stephanie would have rode every roaster coaster in the park if she was tall enough. We were standing in line waiting to ride the Danny Phantom’s Phantom Flyers, and she said her life long dream has came true.

We had a nice day even though it was cool.

DIXIE CLASSIC FAIR TRIP

Today we spent the morning at the Dixie Classic Fair with the kids class. We went thought old town, saw all the animals, the petting zoo, saw the pig races, and got to get inside a fire truck and a army tank. I think the funniest part of the day was eating lunch at the fair. All the kids were great and all their parents should be really proud of them.
