Sweet bargains & sick babies

I was bored today, since Rory had to go to work from 8am-10pm for inventory stuff. So, I headed over to the OC swap meet. The kids and I walked around for a little and then went over to the farm to see the animals and gardens. Surprisingly, they were more interested in me telling them what plant was what. After that, I decided to go to CVS just for kicks....since it's like a second home to me now. And this is what I got for $3.84. Sweet deal, since the Listerine alone was normally $6. Man, I love that store. Every Monday night, when Rory gets home, I head out with my list and coupons. I wait until about 9:30 so hardly anyone else is in the store. I'm telling you, people waiting in line DO NOT like coupon queens! I don't blame them, it takes forever. But, it's free money.

On another note, Ivy decided life was too boring around here and got an infection which caused her to have horrible hives. Her doctor gave us an antibiotic, and after the second dose of it, her face and mouth swelled up. We had to take her to emergency. They gave her epinephrine and prednisolone because she was allergic to her medication! We spent 6 hours there before we got to go home. She's doing better now, so we're grateful for that. (But not the $300 she's cost us in doctor visits). The pictures of her with the hives are when they were MILD. They got horribly worse right before we took her to the ER. Stuff like that is just downright scary.


Back to something positive, Rory has been working out at the gym and lost 20 lbs in 2 months. He is lookin' mighty good! I'm proud of him. As long as he doesn't start wearing muscle shirts and spandex shorts to the gym, I am all for it!

That's it for today!
