For quite a few days (since Saturday) I have had an awful stomach pain + nausea. It sucked royally. I tried everything to get rid of it: Tums, Pepto, Tylenol, ibuprofen, heating pad, ice. You name it, I probably did it. And it STILL wouldn't go away. My ultimate solution? Doctor. Again. And she said that, according to my urine sample, I had quite a bit of blood being peed out of me. From this she drew the conclusion that I have kidney stones. Whoa, wait, what? Pretty much what I thought lol She set me up with an antibiotic and a special pain med (which Walgreens did not fill D:< ) and sent me home with a pee-catcher and a strainer so I can go "kidney stone fishing" (my doctor's words, not mine). Sure enough, I come home to use said pee-catcher and strainer and I caught a sliver of a stone! It was super weird and I looked it up on Google just to be sure it was one. It's the tiniest little square I've ever seen and it hurt like a mofo to get out (I actually just had the same pain a second ago). Luckily, I know I'm not dying and that I don't have appendicitis or gallstones :)
Cael has been such a daddy's buddy lately! Brad has been working on a new phrase that has stuck: "Love Dada." Cael also uses this phrase for Dede, GiGi, and Papa....but not Mama :'( But I still get more hugs and kisses from Cael so I guess that counts for something!
Cael is also getting in a new tooth, a canine this time. It's taking FOREVER to come through. It's taking even longer than the molars did! He's going to look so big when he has a mouth full of teeth! It's hard to believe he is 18 months old already... And he talks so much! Today in the car, he was jabbering on and on about something but he was stringing actual words together in a nonsensical way. I can't even remember what he was saying, I was laughing so hard at how serious and important he sounded! But every words he said was an actual word, not just babble.
My classes aren't sucking too bad yet... I'm just not getting things turned in the time I want to. Like I should be working on it right now but I'm blogging instead... Shame upon me. But I enjoy blogging more than homework :)

Good Gracious, Can I Ever Post Regularly?!
This past week has been crrrrrrrraaaaaaaaazy. First off, we somehow ended up getting fleas, though we have no flea-carriers as pets. We have guppies. It just makes me mad that it happened. And our neighbor across that hall, who had a cat, has moved out so maybe they came from her.
The daycare has been experiencing an outbreak of Hand Foot and Mouth disease so my work days have been pretty slow. We have usually 8 to 10 kids out of our 16 enrolled. And Cael caught it as well so Wednesday I stayed home with my poor, miserable boy... His little bottom, elbows, legs, and feet are covered in red blisters and I had even seen some in his mouth, though they've gone away now, thank goodness. Only a few more days until they're gone. He's in a better mood than he was on Wednesday, that's for sure. Cael was also diagnosed with an ear infection on top of that >.<
My classes started up on Monday and so far, they've been going pretty well. They're all "major-centered" classes and I think they'll be really valuable for my current class :) There is a lot of observing that I have to do this semester too.
Brad has been seaching for a new job recently, since his current isn't exactly a healthy environment any more (politics and disagreements among coworkers mostly). He heard back from KCP&L, the electric company that facilitates Warrensburg and the Kansas City area, to take the test for meter reading. Hopefully we'll hear his test results soon!
We had also been saving up for a Wii system and finally, two weekends ago, a deal came up at Hastings for purchasing a new Wii and getting two used Wii games for free. We just couldn't pass it up! We ended up getting $300 worth of Wii entertainment items for less than $200. We've been playing it ever since. We also broke dwn and got a Netflix account (which I am addicted to). It has quite a few of our favorite shows and movies on it, like "Super Why" and "Dinosaur Train" for Cael and "The Tudors" and "Law and Order: SVU" for me. Brad also found "Rugrats" episodes and we have been watching them non-stop! He also found "AAH! Real Monsters!" so we will continue our retro Nickelodeon shows after "Rugrats" is done. Brad has also caught me up on some great comedians too like George Carlin.
Brad's birthday is in 4 days! It's amazing how much time has passed. He'll be 21 so we're planning a little get-together with his friends at our apartment. Brad's mom has said she will watch Cael for us on Friday night and I will be the designated driver/key holder at the party. I'm actually looking forward to it even though I can't drink. We're hooking up a bunch of game consoles to a bunch of TVs in our living room so we can have a bunch of games going on at the same time and no one has to wait for a turn to play. I can't wait! :)
