Birth Control

So I have to admit that only 4 days into my "mini vacation" in between jobs and I'm already bored! I spent most of Monday and Tuesday occupying myself with hanging new curtains in the house, catching up on about a dozen loads of laundry, and playing endless amounts of games of hearts on the computer. I rock at that game :) Tuesday I talked to Jen Pinkel, a great friend of mine who I worked with at Cintas once upon a time and now lives about 90 minutes south of STL in a little town called Cape Girardeau, MO. She has 2 of the cutest kids around, but 2 year old Taylor had a fever and her 2 month old baby Kellan refused to take a bottle. With her husband traveling for work all week, it sounded like she was at the end of the rope! I offered to come help and of course catch up, and what transpired might have been the best 24 hour dose of birth control ever!

Kellan had his 2 month old shots during the day, and about 6pm developed a mild allergic reaction and while it was cured with a little dose of tylenol, the normally even keel baby cried for TWO HOURS STRAIGHT. Poor Jen was so sad to see her baby inconsolable, so Aunt Katie to the rescue to get the little babe to settle down! Combine this with Taylor puking in her bed from coughing so hard, and I gotta admit I'm doing just great as a mom to Jack and nothing else! Here's a cute picture of Taylor:


It was great to see Jen of course and catch up on our now crazily different lives. We used to be quite the dynamic duo in the bar scene, but now it's just in pj's with wine and trashy MTV shows that we do our best work! The below pic is taken when Kellan was like three days old, so he's a little bigger now, but look how cute! Love their precious family!
