Sick

i'm not sure if it's the allergies (there is a ton of pollen on my truck, due to the fact that it's parked right next to the oh-so-beautiful but oh-so-pollen-ridden oak tree in our front yeard) or if i'm just getting sick, but my head hurts, my joints ache, and i don't want to do anything but sit in bed and watch Friends.


sydney was also having a rough time today. she did great on most of our errands, and even was relatively happy whilst crawling around the house putting everything that is on our floor into her mouth. :) the poor thing still has her front bottom tooth slowly but surely piercing through her cute little gums though...so there was a great deal of sobbing as we got her ready for bed tonight. she was inconsolable until we sang "Little Bunny Foo-Foo." well, i sang it. i do a special voice for the "good fairy" who chastises said bunny, and this usually makes sydney grin. this time, however, we had to kick it up a notch and kirk danced around for sydney and made goofy faces. i was cracking up,  and sydney just stared at him. sometimes she began to smile...just a tad.


we also sang "Five Little Speckled Frogs" and "Five Little Ducks." {why does every kid song count down from five?}


life is going pretty well right now. i found a community band that rehearses only about 20 minutes away from me, as opposed to the band that took an hour to get to because of Houston's rush hour traffic. i'm excited to play my flute some more. i've been missing it.


kirk's doing great in school. he's studying hard and is loving his classes. he still takes time out for us though. he got sydney ready for bed tonight AND took care of me, even with my whining. i'm excited to have him home in three weeks (but who's counting?) for spring break. no idea what we're doing yet, but it'll be nice to have him home!
