Easter pics

I went to my sisters for lunch with the fam and gave Abby her first Easter egg hunt. She was reluctant at first, but she got excited after finding the first one. She wanted to inhale the jelly beans I put in them.

Falling apart....at 30!

Man, my body just does not like me. I finally went to an osteopathic doctor to figure out why I've been randomly waking up nauseous, gassy and feeling heaviness in my chest. Her diagnosis: acid reflux, which is exasperating the asthma I thought had disappeared after high school. Apparently, asthma never totally disappears. I developed athletic-induced asthma my sophomore year of high school because I was running outside in the cold to get in shape for basketball season. I used an inhaler for a couple years, but haven't had problems since then. I did kickboxing a few times last year. If anything was going to send me over the edge, that would have. Now, I have a cold that's wreaking havoc on my body. I'm hoping the inhaler my doctor prescribed will keep me from hacking all night. I'm sure my change in work schedule and moving have played a large part in my body changes. I'm a late night snacker, and I need to break that habit. I'm getting enough sleep, so that's not the problem. I hope I get well soon, because I don't think my boss wants me to call in sick.

Fun with the munchkin

Thankfully, it didn't snow today, so my sister and niece got to come down to Wichita. Abby was just full of funny things to say. It's amazing how her vocabulary expands and how quickly she learns new things. On our Target adventure she was creating a whole world between her new piggy bank and choo choo train. She also had no problem telling me "I don't like it" when I pointed to a shirt I considered buying. Her other response, "Let's go look at clothes in my size." She was so cute at lunch when she ordered her food and she made sure to say hi to any waitress that walked by. She was very excited when mommy said we could go to Starbucks. Mommy let's her get 'cow's milk' as a snack. I'm surprised that kid doesn't turn into a dairy cow as much milk as she drinks. She also was very excited about going to aunt Netty's house. After she went potty she pulled back my shower curtain and said, "You have a bathtub just like at my house!" It's funny how the simplest things are amazing to her. She tried to smother my cat, but Daisy was having none of that.

Some of her other funny sayings:

When my sister and I complained about the construction and crazy driving on Rock Road:
"I can help. I'll push the cars out of the way."

When she saw one of several airplanes:
"Let's wave hi to the airplane. I want to take it home and give it a hug." (I'm not sure why she thinks airplanes are her friends.)

On her parents: "Daddy's name is Kevin and mommy's is Brenda." (She said this very randomly in Target.)

When we were watching Nickelodean: "I like Sponge Bob, but mommy doesn't." (Mommy says Sponge Bob doesn't teach her anything.)
