On Father's Day weekend Alyssa and I were supposed to go to Longview but since she got sick we stayed around the house. Cory was gone working Mariner's all weekend and didn't get home until Sunday evening. I made him his favorite dinner and he received his present, golf shirts. He was exhausted from the long work week he had. We will be going down to Longview on Sunday so we will be able to see our dad's so all is not lost.
Monday I went out and played my first round of golf. I was so nervous at first. By the third hole I had relaxed and was having a great time. I have been taking lessons and love them, my instructor is very cool and has helped me out a lot. I told him that I was playing at the last lesson I took and he asked me if I had practiced putting or anything. I said "no" and he laughed and just told me good luck but it was a good course to learn on that we were gonna play. I think Cory was even impressed when I came home and showed him what I had learned, he joked and said my swing was better than his! 
Anyways back to the game. My score wasn't the best but whose is on their first time right!? Cory and I went out and I got some clothes and shoes since my game wasn't gonna be pretty I might as well be. Such a poser I am but hopefully that will soon change. I did have some great shots and others not so great but again I am learning and having a blast! I never thought I would have enjoyed it this much but I'm so excited that Cory and I now can do it together and at places all over! We are going back out this next week to play again and I can't wait. I'm addicted!!! I think I started out with the right attitude with it as well....it's just fun and not to get frustrated. I am now eagerly awaiting the arrival of my sand wedge! I never thought I would say that.
but she broke out in a rash from it. She looked horrible. It was literally all over her body! I took her in and they figure she is allergic to sulfur based med's. Poor girl. The doctor told me to stop giving it to her and it should clear up and if not to give her benedryl but only if it didn't clear up. It's now mostly gone, thank goodness and her ears are doing good as well. She is headed down to L0ngview on Sunday with us and is going to stay the week with back and forth between grandparent's. and will be brought back up on the 4th. I'm sure she will have a wonderful time!This last week has been hard for Alyssa. She has two ear infections. We had gone down to Longview last weekend for a golf tournament Cory was in, they took 3rd place, and Alyssa had got sick. At first I thought she was just teething because she had a runny nose, and that's what happens with her every time. Saturday night she woke up and had a horrible sounding cough and threw up. Yes, I'm officially mom now that I have been thrown up on and it wasn't spit up! I thought she might have croup because of the sound of the cough, so my mom and I ran a hot shower and sat in the bathroom with her. We did that a couple times that night with none of us getting much sleep. The next day she sounded better but could tell she still wasn't well. We headed home and she slept the whole way home and pretty much the rest of the day.
I ended up taking her to the doctor on Monday and found out she has two ear infections. Cory and I had just been talking about how lucky we have been with her health. We jinxed us! I felt horrible for her and wished I could do something to make it go away, now! She is on antibiotics and the doctor wants to see her in two weeks. She has been pretty much sleeping the whole day but feeling like crap I don't blame her.
As for us, we have been busy. I have started golf lessons and love them and I'm actually playing for the first time on Monday. I'm scared to death!!!! Oh well, at least I will look good. Cory and I went out and I got some golf clothes. I'm alright with being a poser at this time. In a week we are heading back down to the Oregon Coast to ride the quads. I can't wait!!! Cory will be on vacation and doesn't go back to work until after the 4th of July.
Other than that, that's about all that is going on with us........
So this last week has been very entertaining with Alyssa. Until now I haven't bothered baby proofing the kitchen cabinets because she hasn't been too interested in opening them. This last week she has been all about them. Now, there are only two cabinets that she really likes, the one under the sink and the cabinet with all of her dishes. The one under the sink obviously concerned me but the other one just annoyed me more than anything. I found some great locks that you didn't have to drill into the cabinets and were magnetic, so I purchased a few of these to hold her at bay. After we got them installed she tried to open them and was very upset that they would not open.
Parents: 1 Alyssa: 0
Now it may seem foolish that I put one on the cabinet with her stuff in it but for me it was about cleaning it all up. I hate messes and for me everything has it's place and the floor is not it! So I guess I'm a mean mom but she will get over it and grow up fine.
Later on in the week we were doing stuff at the house and Alyssa proceeded to take this floor lamp that she likes to hit the wall with and throw it on the floor. It broke! Cory and I both heard this loud crash and a few seconds later she started crying. She wasn't hurt at all just startled but what a mess it left us with. This is something that she always gets in trouble with and knows this is not OK to do, or at least should be now. Off to the store I went to see if I could find a shade that would work.
Another little incident that happened was she broke me cell phone. I was out to breakfast that morning with some friends and was letting her play with it. They were saying how they couldn't believe how I would let her do that. I laughed and said "oh well....I have insurance on it." Later that day I had put a large glass of water on the table where my cell phone was. I had got up to go do something and than got busy cleaning and forgot all about it. I heard a strange sound followed by some crying. I went into see what happened and saw she was standing in a puddle of water and her feet wet. She wasn't happy about it. Well I wasn't happy about the phone, couches, and floor being all wet! I was praying the phone would still work, but no it was all jacked up! I knew I had insurance on it so I wasn't all to worried just annoyed I had to deal with it. What an ordeal it turned into. That insurance really isn't all it's cracked up to be I think.
Hopefully the rest of the week turns out to be uneventful!
