Sweet Miss B ~ Allergic Reaction

(I was given permission to blog about this... :)

Back HERE....Miss B was given an Rx to help with her toes....yep... she is back to looking like THIS (graphic warning) again (since the fall) 

The Rx was for 12 weeks taken ONCE a week... she got 2 weeks into her and after her shower after volleyball she came out looking like this... at that point we had NO IDEA what was going on....

but it got progressively worse from Wednesday-Sunday... and on Monday AM she woke up vomiting...

We were off to the pediatrician trying to figure out what was going on an her sweet Dr said... I am SO SORRY I prescribed this Rx....CLASSIC med allergy... and it's probably going to get worse before it gets better...

Thank GOODNESS other than not wanting to wear shorts to practice... and feeling a little nauseous Miss B is a TROOPER.... 

it def. got WORSE and seemed to move DOWN her body... which was a blessing that it didn't move up towards her face....


This was last Wednesday....so a week after symptoms started...

and this was yesterday at church... they are starting to dry...

and FINALLY looking better... the poor girl... but again.... she really is AMAZING....

NOTHING slows this girl down :)

The Next Chapter

A QUICK few months... and Can I go back...just for a hot second??? Just for a minute? 

Minnie was TERRIFIED to say the LEAST but she was READY! I booked her with a driving instructor at 12:00 on Wednesday for a refresher , (which happened to be an early release, so leaving a couple minutes early was no biggie....) and her test was at 3:00. She told NOT ONE of her friends and asked that we do the same. 

Husband took 1/2 a day off because she wanted her Dad...*melt* and she asked Mimi if she could borrow her car for the test. I LOVE that she LOVES the Scooby! :) 

She came back after about 12 minutes and we could tell she was holding back the smile.... 

SHE PASSED!!! She is now a licensed errand runner and uber for her sister! Hooray! 



Oh my HEART... this went SO fast....

They left right before we did to return Mimi's car together and hang out with her before taking Husband's truck and meeting us for Miss B's step-up night at....THE HIGH SCHOOL.....Waaaaaaaaaaa

I don't know HOW MANY TIMES Minnie has heard me say how scared I am that my entire heart is in a scary vehicle... but I know she is cautious and alert and READY for this next chapter of "leaving"....

I do sorta hate that that's the goal though....

So proud of her!!!

Weekend Away

It was BACK to Moosehead for Husband AND Minnie... she was SO sad to miss last year and was thrilled to be BACK!!!

Kicked off Thursday afternoon with a match for MC... pic sniped by one of her friends... she's on the left :) 

and we went home to play Jeopardy and eat Publick House! YUM!


Friday I was off from work and Do-Do sent this picture!

Miss B and I got ready and headed on an adventure!!! I had some errands to run and one of them included a drop off at Goodwill.. it dawned on me that she had never been to Reilly's bakery....Soooooo I parked in front of the theater... she was COMPLETELY confused until we turned to cross the street and she saw the big sign! WIN WIN for Miss B! Girl loves a bakery.... 

Bonus surprise....we walked in and there behind the counter was one of her very favorite teachers... 2nd grade Mrs. Randall... on the exact day... 6 years later (Friday, March 13, 2020) that schools closed and Mrs. Randall started zooming in our home.... I WISH I had snapped a picture when she came out behind the counter to give Miss B a hug and Miss B was taller than her!

stole this pic from Minnie's insta... LOVED it... 

and on Friday night Miss B and I watched CJ's SkillsUSA awards ceremony online... it was LOONNGGGGG....

but the fact that he WON def. helped!! :) Soooooo PROUD of him!!! Pic courtesy of Miss B because I was racing all around the house looking for the charger because my phone  was going to die!!

Happy I didn't miss these pics though!!

SO PROUD!

Speaking of proud! Minnie send me this!! Whoop whoop fish on!

Love them!!!

In cleaning up traps on Saturday afternoon Husband let Minnie snag this flag... at least she got ONE... :)

Miss B and I did lots of deep couch sitting on Saturday, (I did run to Walmart) and enjoyed our home (and dog)

On Sunday we had nursery... LUCKY us!!!

I wasn't mad about this...

and neither was Miss B :)

Husband and Minnie were home unpacking when Miss B and I got back from groceries! Hooray! I jumped into the kitchen to make food for our Irish potluck at work (Monday) and Miss B had been begging for yeasty rolls since I grabbed this butter a few weeks ago...

SO happy they were able to get back to northern Maine together again doing their favorite thing together with friends (and family). But SOOOOO HAPPY they are HOME!

Wacky? Wednesday

I do a lot of editing with my pics before I post them...but when I looked back at these I was chuckling... 

1st of all... I HAD just gotten home with Minnie from the grocery store and said child could not WAIT to tap into making her own blizzard.... hence the rotisserie chicken on the counter... I hadn't had time to pick it and put it in a container. Oatmeal creme pies that needed to go downstairs to be packed for Minnie's weekend away coming up....and peep the fact that we STILL HAVE OUR GARLAND UP and it's BEEN UP for going on 5 months!!!!

I have actually attempted to take it down and put it back in the basement but my Christmas loving Miss B refuses!! HAHAHAHAHA! PLEASE no judgement.... YOU try saying "no" to Miss B!


and then I saw this guy... peeping "nice in case" Minnie was to drop ANYTHING he might think was tasty... little begger.
