New Layout



I hope that y'all like my new layout, because I paid $10 for it. But I think it looks awesome and now I am all professional and stuff. Here is a quick update of what has been going on at Casa de Blevins...

1. Fred has gotten sick twice.

2. I have gotten sick once and still am. I am home from school today with the virus that almost half of Kindergarten has. I am told it is a "viral throat cold." I have not met my deductible, so I will just go with that rather than going to the doctor myself.

3. Miller has gotten sick....well, basically she has had a cough and/or runny nose like every day since she started baby school. She, in fact, has met her deductible. I believe it was met on like January 8th.

4. Miller is sitting up. For real. When I took the picture below, she was only sitting up for about a second. She fell over right after this pic. Go ahead and nominate me for mom of the year, because a few days later I let her hit her head on the coffee table when she teetered while trying to sit. Oops.

(please excuse the lack of pants)

5. Pickles and Rocky have gone into foster care. It is actually permanent foster care, but it makes me feel better to call it that. I just couldn't keep up with their mess. Our backyard is red clay and the grass won't grow because of them running around. Before Miller was born, I spent at least 63% of my life mopping, sweeping, and vacuuming our couches. I just couldn't do it anymore, and they also started chewing again. Our rugs and our moldings. Not cool. So, my assistant at school took them to live with her and her 2 other dogs and 6 cats. It is the only place they could ever go to be more spoiled than here. We are really sad, but it was the best decision. I really didn't want Miller to be covered in red dirt when she starts crawling, which is going to be soon. I really feel like a jerk about it, so if anyone wants to tell me I am not a jerk I would really like that.

6. I have been very bad at my photo-a-day project. I will try to do better. Just to clarify, the plan was to TAKE one photo a day, not POST one a day. That will never happen.

7. Blogger keeps making my pictures blurry. Why, Blogger, why??

Well, that is all for now. I am going back to my sick station on the couch to watch Food Network and HGTV.
